HOW TT WORKS

Some attention has been directed to
the case in Maine the other day, where
there was conflict between federal and
local authorities; but the facts, as gath
cred from the papers of that section, in
dictate the hand of Speaker REED in an
attempt to introduce methods akin to
his management of congress. His dis
trict is the closest in the state, and the
majority too narrow for comfort. A city
election was to take place in BiddefOrd,
the city next to Portland in size In the
district, and city generally Demo
cratic. Could it be captured by the Re-
publicanS now it would aid to return
REED next fall, and, perhaps, add to
his majority, so as to look like a popu-
lar wave of Endorsement of his arbitrary
work at Washington. There is large
foreign-born class there that has voted,
and manyTof them held Office, for years.
A legal bubble was raised, and large
numbers of deputy SheriffS and United
States marShals put in the field to ar
rest the adopted citizens on an alleged
technical flaw in their papers. The
Democrats controlled the police and pro-
tected the parties who were to be forced
from the polls, securing bail for all
arrested, and arresting some Of the dep
uty sheriffs and marshals. That there
was no fighting between the opposing
officials was probably due to the fact
that it is not the Yankee way to in
dulge in collisions of this sort. In sec
tons where Self-Testraint is less COM
mon among people, there would be on
such an occasion a considerable service
for surgeons, and perhaps undertakers.
1t would not be unlike the situation
here if the Republicans should find some
pretext, at the coming election for city
officers, to secure the appointment of
deputy United States marshals to stand
about the polls and aid in keeping out
votes that the judges decide to be law
full. People would wonder what bust
ness the federal officers had with pure
Iy local election. The disposition is to
put the federal hand about the ballot
box, not only in the South, but in all
localities where party interests are to
be subserved. 1t was an imposition
upon the rights of the citizen in Maine,
and should be condemned anywhere.

committee of gentlemen, represent
ing the North Dakota farmers.
are now in this city for the
purpose of enliSting the cooperation Of
the business men of st. Paul and Min
neapOlis in this matter. The GLOBE
has no hesitation in commencing their
work to the attention of our business
classes, for the reason that the Twin
Cities are equally interested with our
North Dakota friends in this years
wheat crop. A good wheat crop in Da-
kota means that much additional pros
perty for st. Paul and Minneapolis, and
a good crop cannot be had without an
abundant seed supply. The Dakota
farmers are not asking for seed Whea t
as bonus, or as a charity, but they
come to us with fair proposition to buy
their own wheat, only asking us toindorse
for them. The plan IS to provide an
ample supply and then sell it to the
farmers. Those who have the money
will pay for it, while those who have
not will give their notes, payable in the
fall when the crop is harvested. What
is wanted of our people here is to fur
nish the seed wheat and sell it to the
farmers on credit, relying on the crop
for reimbursement, or such other Sc
curity as the farmers are able to give.
The reasonablenesS Of this proposition
is so apparent as to make it necessary
to discuss it in detail. Our levator
men, who are dependent on the wheat
crop for their business; our railroads
with lines running through the Dako-
tas; our jobbers, who extend their trade
into the twin states; our bankers,
who are reaching out for investments;
in fact every business interested in the
increased prosperity of the Twin Cities
must readily recognize the Importance
of giving this matter immediate atten-
ton. The two things necessary are to
be done are, first, to lay in sufficient
supply of seed wheat; and, second, to
devise some plan for systematic dis
tribution of it to the farmers who need
it. On behalf Of the North Dakota rep
resentatives who are now here, we
bespeak the active cooperation Of all
classes of our business people.

Proposed Legislation to Meet Any
Emergency.
WASHINGTON, March TIN view of
the information which has been COM
municated to members of congress con-
corning the disposition of the Ottawa
parliament or some of its members to
restore the duties on certain articles now
on the free list, the house ways and
means committee has considered q
proposition to provide legislation cal
culated to meet any emergency which
may arise. Representative Baker, of
New York, has introduced for refer
ence to that committee, bill providing
that all articles imported into the
United States shall, in addition to the
Import duties now assessed by law,
pay an additional duty equal In amount
to any export duty which may be
same to the United States. 1t also pro-
vides that when any article imported
into the United States is free of duty,
duty shall be levied equal i'll amount to
any export duty that may be levied
thereon by the laws of the country of
shipment. All articles imported into
the United States shall pay no less rate
of duty than is chargeable by the laws
of the country of export on like articles
imported into such country from the
United States. Eggs shall be subject
to a duty of cents per dozen; hay,
% per centadvalorem; straw,S3 per ton;
fish, cent per pound, and plants, trees
and shrubs. % per cent ad valOrrm. 1t
Is further proposed to provide that oil
ad valOrrm duties imposed by the
United States on imported goods shall
be assessed on the actual retail price at
which they are sold for home consump-
ton, in the country of export, whenever
such country assesses ad valorem du-
ties on goods imported from the United
States on the retail price of such goods
in the United States.

Treaty.

st. Louisians Protest Against th G
Treaty.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE pro-
test against the ratification OF the Rus
sian treaty, which the senate, over Pres
ident Pro Ten Ingalls, adverse ruling,
permitted Senator COckrell to present
in open session to-day, was from the
wood working machine hands union of
st. Louis. The reasons given for the
protest are that the ratification of the
pending treaty would be mistake. be-
cause a state without any regular syS-
TEN of justice, state in which exile
without the least judicial process is
governmental institution, can offer no
guarantee for an honest use OF
an eXtradtion treaty. The memo
rial accompanying the protest pre-.
SCENTS a suppOSitiOuS case IN which Rus
STA is represented as being DESTROYS OF
getting back political fugitive from
America. He is accused of a common
felony. and, according to the wording
of the pending treaty, the United states
government is in duty bound TO give
him up. The victim is then prosecuted,
not for political crime, but for felony,
and no United States minister can save
him. In support of their reasons, the
memorialists refer to well-known works
on Siberian exile and other Russian
subjects by George KEENAN, and Prince
Krapotkin. I'm conclusion the memorial
says that It should be sufficient Co
Americans that the Russian people are
subject to the arbitrary rule of the ear,
and that therefore a government which
has TO represent law cannot enter into

expunged from the record, and to strike
from the laws of Idaho the acts passed
after an adjournment had been declared,
because of the expiration of the sixty
days during which the legislature was
allowed to sit. The Idaho SUI
preme court denied the appllca-
tions, and the supreme court af-
firms its Judgment. The court says that
our government is divided into legis
lative, executive and judicial depart
ments, and that the safety of our insti-
lions depends ina considerable measure
upon those various departments being
kept separate and upon none CT them
infringing upon the others. 1t is not,
1t says, one of the functions of the
court to inquire into the records of a
legislative body, and to determine
whether the body assuming to be a
legislature is legal or not. A suit re-
presenting this question, it says, might
perhaps arise in some case growing out
of an act passed by the legislature, but
the court does not pass in the present
case upon how far it would be justified
Ill such suit inquiring into the validity
of legislature, as the case at issue does
not require ii to do so.

Chieagoans Vigorously Pro-

WASHINGTON. March II. The Re-
publican members of the ways ana
means committee of the house have
finally reached an agreement upon the
sugar schedule. They have agreed to
make raw sugar from 16 Dutch standard
down dutiable at So per cent ad val
orem, and refined sugar above 16 Dutch
standard dutiable at 40 per cent ad
valorem. This is equivalent to so per
cent reduction ON many grades of
sugar and to more than so per
cent on others. The reduction will
average cut Of above so per cent and
will reduce the revenue from $4,000, 900
to 2S,000,000. There is no provision
made for the payment Of any bounty
whatever. The cut in the sugar duty
which will thus be made. is more than
two and half times that proposed by
the Mills bill, and the duty will be col
lected upon the value and not upon the
ponds as heretofore. The duty given
to the refners is only 5 per cent more
than that given the raw sugar. and the
classifying of sugar as sixteen or below
Will admit two grades OF mercnantaOle
sugar fit for domestic use. 1t is hoped
and believed that this will take away
from the refiners the power to raise the
price of sugar to the consumer at will.
The Republicans regard this heavy
reduction of the sugar duties as
most generous concession to
Western sentiment. The rate fixed
is lower than the rate fixed
fixed by the senate tariff bill. and is.
moreover, free from the objection raised
against the senate bill, viz, the bounty
clause. The senate bill made a reduc.
ton of so per cent and gave bounty of
one cent a pound. The action OF the
Republican members of the ways and
means committee makes cut of even
more than so per cent and eliminates
the experiment of paying bonus to
one class of producers directly from the

tits easier to start pension than it is
to stop one. In fact, when one is on the
roll and the stream begins to flow, there
is practically no way to call a halt. SeV-
eral instances have been reported in the
papers recently where pensioners have
become criminals, and still their pen
sions go on. One of these is burglar
serving a long sentence in Massachu-
sets penitentiary. He draws one of the
largest pensions. Another, who won
special honors for heroic service, has
blackened his record by foul and in
famous assault upon child seven year S
old. 1t is one of the curlositieS of
human nature that men who have
periled their lives to save their country
should. in happily not numerous in
stances, seek to wreck the social life of
the country. They forfeit all claims
for recognition of worthy prior deeds
when they abandon the ranks of good
citizenship. The pension roll should
be a mark of honor as we'll as measure
of requital for service to the nation.
All good soldiers will deprecate the
practice that associates their names
with criminals. One convicted of
crime should not be pensioner.
