1T TROUBLES TaEM.

The original package decision in
wolves troublesome problems for the
dominant party in the prohibition states;
SO much so that in Iowa some promi-
nent Republican papers are urging the
Republican committee to withdraw the
call for the state convention, lately is
sued, to be held in June, to give time to
adjust things so that the party will not
run upon rocks. They are anXiously
asking what shall the party do to be
saved. In discussing the matter the
Sioux City Journal concludes that the
license states will have the same prac-
teal difficulty as the prohibition states.
1t IS assumed that outsiders will send
their wet goods into such states and
sell them in the original packages with
out any license. This is a theory, but
not probable condition. People who
want to drink in public places will not
use kegs or bottles as rule. Nor is it
evident that liquor can be sold in them
to be consumed Oh the premises. AS the
decision is understood, its effect will
be confued almost exclusively to the
states that try to operate prohibitory
measures

CUT IN TWO PLACES.

Reduction in Chicago-St. Paul
and St. Paulkansas City Rates.
CHICAGO, May 12.-None of the South
western river roads have met the Chi
cago & Atoms s. rate from Chicago to
Kansas City. On the contrary, the
Rock Island has given notice that it
will advance the present IS rate to $3.50,
both to Kansas City and Council Bluffs,
and WILL cease to quote seeond-class
rate at all. The object of this is to pro-
tect local traffic, the Rock Island hay
ing decided that it is better to sacrifice
its Missouri river business than to give
up its profits on traffic to intermediate
points. The Chicago & Northwest
ern will probably take similar action on
business to Omaha. The Burlington
has taken the lead in reducing the rate
to St. Paul and Minneapolis. The pres
ent of 50 first class and 81 second class
will be reduced to s. first class and s.
second class, taking effect May Is. An
important step is also to be taken by
the Atchison, Topeka e Santa Fe.
That company is preparing to
put into service at as early a
date as possible double daily YES
thule trains between Chicago and the
Pacific coast, reducing the running time
between Chicago and San Francisco
twenty-four hours, and covering the
distance between Chicago and Kansas
City in fourteen hours. Another feat
ure of to-day's developments was a re-
duction in passenger rates from st.
Paul to Kansas City by the Chicago,
Milwaukee Il st. Paul, in connection
with the Iowa Central. The new rates
are: South-bound, $40 first-class and IS
second class; north-bound, $11 first-class
and IS second class.

ADOuRTFUL REFORM,

Some affect to see in the recommended
ton of Gov. HILL that the New York
legislature submit a constitutional
amendment giving the courts the ex-
elusive determination of contested cleo
ton cases in the Legislature, the con-
tinuance of the new pose of the re-
former for national effect. That, how
ever, is an excess of partisanship.
Whether the courts could weather such
an ordeal or not, it is certain that in
most legislative bodies one Of the most
fragrant abuses is the common method
of determining contests. 1t has become
so much the practice to let politics and
not equity determine the contests that
nothing else is expected. In England
the same eXjgency led to this change,
and ii is regarded as a Wholesome re-
form. A similar change has been pro-
posed in congress, where the partisan
ship of the thing has had notable illus
trations Of late. If it operated to dimin-
ish confidence in the Judiciary, it would
be q remedy worse than the disease.
Courts are quite as fallible as desirable,
in popular estimation.

that the party interests rest upon
him. From Republican stand
point the effort to force him out of the
control OF the party machine is illog-
ical and unbecoming. There was a
time when the position would not have
been fitted to man OF his record and
methods. There were in the foreground
then men who stood for principle. if
not always the wisest policies. Such
names as SUMNER, SEWARD, GREELEY,
TRUMBULI, FEsSENDRN, DooLITTLE.
JULIAN, SoHURz and the BLAIRs rep
resented high purposes and the cour-
age of intense conviction. AS the war
period receded those who had appetites
whetted for spoils began to jostle the
men who had made the party out of its
ranks. Most Of them died in politica!
exile, as it were, and those who sur
yived followed their convictions into
new associations. Some of them are
honored and trusted leaders in the
Democratic party to-day. QUAY is not
so much out of place at the head of a
crowd that are in politics simply for
what they can make out of it for them
selves.

asked for an off-hand answer, Mr.. HALL,
couldn't tell the difference between ad
yalorem and specific duties. How,
then, could 1t be expected for q repre-
sentative of that kind to have an III
telligent opinion on any public qaes-
ton? 1t is the most natural thing in
the world for him to be willing to sup
port any me sure that the party mana
gers suggest AS for our own repre-
sentative, Mr.. SNYDER, his busi-
ness associations and his identifi-
cation with corporation interests i'm
pei him to the support Of any bill
that has been sanctioned by the cor
poration interests. The same Is meas
urably true of Mr.. CoMsToCK, who is
more active in the discharge OF his du-
ties as a railroad attorney than he is in
looking after the interests of the peo-
pie. Neither is there any reason to be
disappointed in Mr.. DUNNEIL's course.
He is by all odds the best Informed rep
resentatiye from Minnesota in congress,
but is thoroughly indoctrlnated with
the Eastern ideas Of protection, and
has never made any attempt to conceal
his convictions. He is more Of q Maine
man than Minnesota man. lie was
elected as protectionist, in spite OF the
fact that he represents a district whose
interests are crippled by an application
of the protection doctrine. There is
none so blind as he who will not see;
and as a consequence, Mr.. LIMBS eX-
treme partisanship will carry him along
with the Republican tide in support of
the MCKINLEY bill.
And thus it is Minnesota has the
singular misfortune Of being represent
ed in congress by solid delegation who
are as hostile to Minnesota interests as
if they were representing Pennsylvania
districts. Who is to blame for this state
of affairs? There are those who will
say that the people are directly respon-
sible; and, in a sense, this is true. But
we hold that the managers Of the Re-
publican party in this state are chiefly
responsible. They deluded the voters
into the belief that by electing Dun
NELL, LIND. HALL, SNIDER and Con-
STOCK, they were electing delegation
of tariff reformers. The deception is
plain enough now, when these gentle
men openly avow their purpose to sup
port any tariff bill that the monopolistS
may agree upon. without the least re-
gard to its cut, size or quality.
But having been fooled once. will the
people be fooled again? That is the
important question. The same old dodge
will be practiced this year. Possibly
the same men will be renominated on q
platform diametrically opposite to their
record. Which will the people accept
as verify, the platform or the record?
is Minnesota to be forever misrepre-
scented in the national congress, and are
Minnesota interests to be forever sacri-
feed on the altar of a Republican caucus
controlled by the trusts and the corpora
lions? If the people of this state arc
willing to have it so, and to pay tribute
forever to Eastern interests, then let
them keep Mr. HALL and his associates
in congress. But if they have it in
mind to assert themselves and to pro-
tect their local interests, then 1t is time
they were looking around for new con-
gresSional timber.

Owing to the fact that the combination

Chairman QUAY, of the Republican ma

paired that another fishing and recreat-

1t is no doubt wise in Mr.. QUAY to give
his health the first consideration. If he

would be danger that the malaria the pes

PATTERN ALESM.

A lyceum in this city that often
elucidates national questions last night
tackled the conundrum of paternalism,
or the limits of governmental inter-
ference with individual interests. Some
sound ideas were evolved, and the OBJ
servation was Photographic that the dis
position of the later eras in this country
is dangerously in that direction. Illus
itrations are found in legislative bodies
Of all grades, and the fact was not too
strongly stated that the alarm bell
should send out its notes of approaching
disaster. An Iowa congressman, for
instance, has introduced bill that viz
tually makes every postmaster the Judge
of what printed matter shall go through
the mails. 1t provides for the exclusion
of publications of criminal matters,
and could easily be construed by hos
lie postmaster to shut out any daily
paper. A bullet-headed partisan would
see the immortality of any paper on the
other side and throw it out Of the mails.
This is but one of the eruptions that
show the need of careful review of
the drift of the times.
