Oil at IyanhOe.

A report reached the city yesterday
that an oil well had been struck at
Ivanhoe. The rumor is that man en-
gagged in digging for water, like the
famous Dow Of Dow's fiat, struck it rich
in oil. 1t was further rumored that the
well had been bonded by certain cap
italists of this city. The report reached
the city so late that further particulars
could not be secured.

THE IOWA DECISION.

1t is reported that, under the supreme
court decision, local dispensaries arc
being opened in Iowa and other pr0hi
bition states for the diffusion of wet
goods, to be sold in the original pack
ages imported from other states. The
construction given the decision is that
the importer may sell the goods i'll the
barrels OF bottles in which they are i'm
ported. at which point they lose their
interstate commerce guardianship and
became subject to the state laws. The
purchaser may consume, but cannot sell
or give away. under the usual prohibit
tory enactments. There is some queS-
ton as to the intent of the decision to
go so far as to cover the sale of the
liquor after it enters the state. Some
understand that the importer can only
use, not sell. The other view, however,
is taken by the dissenting minor
ity of the supreme court. They
hold that the opinion means that
any individual can take liquors
into the state and sell in the original
packages without regard to local laws,
and no license can be exacted. This
view is being accepted and acted upon
in Iowa, and no doubt will be in the
other states. This will not reopen any
saloons legally, but it may build up
competition to the open saloons that are
in Iowa towns assessed monthly fines
in place of license. The new shops will
have no licenses or fines to pay, and,
dealing only in original packages, can
undersell the saloons. There is no linn
itation as to the capacity of the original
package. 1t may contain two or three
glasses of. beer OF a few fingers of
stronger liquor. Provisions as to the
non-consumption Oh the premises will
not materially affect the traffic. But if
there is no limitation to the sale, the
localities will see no reason why their
breweries should not manufacture as
well as to give other states the business.
The advocates of stringent license regu-
lations will be stimulated and strength
ened by the decision.

TAXING WHITE PAPER.

The more the MCKINLEY bill is
studied, the more apparent become its
vices and infamies. Not satisfied with
removing the tax from tobacco, in order
that there may an excuse for increasing
the duties on the necessaries, it goes
even farther in the direction of in
fanny by imposing tax on intelligence.
This is done in the clause which pro-
poses to double the tax on wood pulp,
from which all the white print paper in
this country is manufactured.
This is done mainly as eompensa
ton to WARNER MILLER for having
fallen outside the breastworks at time
when the Republicans needed such
heroic service. Mr.. MILLER. in connec-
ton with an English syndicate, has the
monopoly of the wood pulp business in
this country. and the tax is already
sufficiently high to exclude all foreign
competitions. Norway is the only coun-
try that is an exporter of wood pulp, but
finds the American tax, under existing
laws, to be too high to compete with
American manufacturers in their own
country. Consequently, the proposed
doubling of the wood pulp duty is moth
ing more or less than personal favor
to Mr.. MILLER's wood pulp trust, and
intended to enable them to double their
profits.
The Chicago Herald makes the good
point that it would be good thing if the
American newspapers now supporting
the MCKINLEY bill should have to pay
double for their white paper, provided
the same punishment were not inflicted
upon those who are opposing it. But
the proyiso does not avail in this case.
The evil of the proposed white paper
tax will fall on the just and the unjust
alike.
The proposed increase of duty on
wood pulp Is equivalent to putting tax
on every newspaper published in this
country; it is tax Oh school
books, on Bibles, and on every sort
of literature. Stripped of all sophis-
try, the MCKINLEY bill simply means
cheaper tobacco and more costly edu-
cation; hlgh-priced Bibles and low
priced tobacco; expensive school books
and cheap cigarettes. A beautiful pol
icy for God and Morality party.

MADRID, May 2.-The strikers at Bar
celona conducted themselves in a riot
Gus manner throughout the day. They
impeded all kinds of business. stopping
market carts and scattering and tramp
ling upon their contents of provisions.
The civil guard was continually en-
gagged in attempting to dispense the
rioters, but failed to quell them. Finally
a state of siege was declared. AT Val
encia many of the masters conceded the
demands of the workingmen, but the
strikers prevented the men resuming
work. The railway goods porters and
the dock men joined in the strike move
ment and became riotous, but were sup
pressed by the cavalry. Troops are now
guarding threatened factories and other
establishments. Similar disturbances
have occurred at Saragossa and Ali
cante. A mob of strikers set fire to a
tool hut at Barcelona. The guard
charged the mob, and two of the strik-
ers were injured. Several shots were
fired. Another group of strikers at
tackled printing office in which siege
proclamations were being printed. They
put stop to the work, and the author
tiles were obliged to have the proclama-
biOiio
protection.
PARIS, May "A dispatch from Tur-
Going, dated $50 O'Clock this evening,
says that 10000 strikers are parading the
streets and committing every species of
excess. The cavalry has charged upon
and dispersed number of groups and
made twenty arrests. At Croix the
strikers attacked Holden's factory,
intending TO DlundAr If They
succeeded in SCATTERING the
windows, when the troops compelled
them to desist. They then proceeded
to the telegraph Office and wrecked the
building. The s.okers in several gas
works have struck. Their places have
been taken by Belgians. A general
strike in collieries in the south of
France is threatened. Gen. SausSier, in

services yesterday, and promises to
recOmpense them.

THE ONE ISSUE.

"While you're gittin', git all you kin, y
is the motto of the KIEFER crowd.
They want the municipal Offices sim
ply for what they expect to make out of
them, and not with a view of giving the
city an upright administration.
The Democratic candidates are men
who have administered our city affairs
with eminent success. Our prosperity
and our sound financial condition are
due entirely to their ability and to their
integrity.
IL is an ancient axiom, but none the
less valuable Oh account of It's age, that
it is always we'll enough to let we'll
enough alone. And it applies with
peculiar force when proposed
change involves the granting of power
to a gang of politicians whose standard
of official morality is measured solely
by their ability to pocket the spoils of
Office.
There is but one issue before the peo-
pie in this campaign, and it is serious
one. 1t is simply whether we are to
have good or bad municipal government.
The election of the Democratic ticket
means good government.
The election of the Republican ticket
means the reign of the spoilsmen.

THE EIASCO

The farcical conclusion of the KIEFER-
WHEELoCK investigation is strictly in
the line of popular expectation. The
whole business has been invested with
a halo of absurdity from the beginning
to the end, and consequently no ole is
disappointed at the result Still, the
verdict of the star chamber commission,
which carefully excluded the public from
witnessing its proceedings, will not
affect public opinion one way or the
other. In the language OF an eminent
Dakota statesman, alt is too rotten thin
to waSh''; and we say this without in
tending diSrespect to the gentlemen
who comprised the commission or with
out the purpose of impeaching their
Judgment. The whole affair wears such
a tinge of absurdity that sensible people
who have anything else to think about
do not care to discuss it.
Col. KIEFER may feel elated and Nh
WHEELoCK may feel aggrieved by the
verdict of the so-called commission, but
so far as the great bulk Of the people of
this city are concerned, they are totally
Indifferent as to what Mr.. KIEFER and
Mr.. WHEELoCK think of each other.
The people are engrossed with the more
serious problem of securing good mu-
nicipal government for this city, which
can only be accomplished by the cleo
ton Of the Democratic ticket.
The testimony, or so much of it as has
been given to the public by the grace of
Col. KIEFER's self-constituted commit
tee, certainly does not justify the YER
dict that was rendered, and conse-
quently popular opinion has not and
willnot be changed with reference to
Col. KIEFER's lack Of fitn ess to be
mayor of st. Paul. The commission
seem to have decided the matter accord
ing to the notion of country justics,
who was trying hog case and summed
up the case as follows: Gas Lawyer
JONES, who represents the plaintiff,
has brought six law books into court,
while Lawyer SMITH, who represents
the defendant, has only brought two
books with him, the court holds that the
weight of authority is on the side of the
plaintiff and will enter up judgment ac
cordingly." Col. KEEPERS commission
admitted that they decided according to
the avoirdupois weight of the testimony
without any regard to its quality or its
relevancy.
Thepeople will sit as grand body of
inquest next Tuesday, and it is to that
tribunal the GLOBE prefers to have the
case referred. They will then deter :
mine whether weare to have good or bad
municipal government, and whether
ROBERT A. SMITH or A. L. KIEFER is
most fit to be chief magistrate of this
great city. We are content to await
that verdict.

DAKOTA POLITICS.

The Democrats in North Dakota are
reported disposed to improve the OPP
portunity before them. They are
urging the committee to call an early
convention with view to long and
effective campaign. If they have pop
ular men to put in the field as candi-
dates, and are active in presenting the
general issues in their application to the
needs of the farmers, there should be
little doubt of their success. Their
chief danger is that they may be drawn
into some of the fights among the Re-
publican factions, or give attention to
local questions that are making the Re-
publican camp bedIam. The Demo-
Gratis are not responsible for prohibit
ton or the attempt to attach the state
to Louisiana institution. Those are
felines of the Republican persuasion in
that state, and no reason appears why
the Democrats should help the Repnb-
licans by joining in the family melee
over their blunders. There is United
States senator involved in the election,
and there should be no question about
the success of reliable tariff reformer.

GLADSTONE CHANGES BASE.
He Votes to Disestablish the
Church of Scotland.


LONDON, May 2.-In the house of COM
mons this evening Mr.. Cameron moved
the disestablishment and disendowment
of the Church of Scotland. Mr.. Glad
stone, replying to members assertion
that a majority of the Midlothian elect
ors were against diSestabliShment, said
he would be glad to answer to his elect
Ors for the vote ne was about to give.
He would be thankful to govern, if they
gave him an opportunity to do SO, at the
earliest possible moment. The only
ground in defence of the church
establishment was that it was
performing some social-religious work
in the country. He believed that the
condition of Scotch opinion which Lord
Harrington described in 1877 as justl-
flying disestablishment, was now
reached, and he, therefore, supported
the motion. In his opinion there never
was country in which the question was
simplified as it was i'll Scotland. 1t
would not entail tenth part of the vio-
lence entailed by the disruption of
1913. There was no sign that
the change would be attended by
any of the characteristics that
belonged to violent traditions. Lord
Harrington said ne regretted the new
position which Mr.. Gladstone had taken
up. He was unable to agree with him
that Scotland had pronounced unmis-
takably Oh this question. Besides that
it was necessary to know the lines upon
which it was proposed to act. In oppos-
sing the motion, however, it must not
be supposed that they opposed neces-
sary reform of the Scotch church, or
even disestablishment, should recon-
struction prove impossible. Mr.. CAM
eron's motion was rejected, 2j6 to 2lS.

APPRECIATION KICKER.

The great protection organ at st.
Louis, the Globe-Democrat, laments that
some of the Republican leaders are for
tariff reform on protection lines some
what sporadically. 1t had in mind, evil
IDENTIFY, one from its own city, MED
RINGHAUs. He was fierce protection
ist, and made that his special meat. He
even was for the MCKINLEY bill until he
looked over the details. He manufactures
what is called granite ware' on a
large scale, and makes large use of boraX
and boracic acid in his manufactures.
Borax costs him two cents pound, but
this tariff makes the duty three cents
pound and five cents on the acid. This
would add $4,000 year to his expenses,
and he doesn't seem to have thought 1t
judicious to tax this to his custom
ers. He has interviewed the tariff
Shapers, and all his imp0rtuni-
ties failed to effect anything. He has
threatened to vote against the entire
bill unless his burden is lifted. All the
boraX made in this country, he alleges,
is controlled by a Pacific coast syndi
cate, in which prominent Rep ublican
senators and representatives are inter
ested. But that affords no ground for his
opposition. There is no more reason
why he should have the raw materials
in his industry untaXed than in any
other branch of manufacture. He is
only taking his own medicine. The
wool manufacturers are closing up
their shops very largely on account of
the tariff exactions in their way. The
st. Louis man would think it all right to
have his goods protected by a tariff,
and would add all it would allow to his
profits. He should not object when his
political pals want a chance to plumber
the public goose also.

HoNoRs TO STANLEY.
Royalty Attends Reception
-, rendered to Him.

-at 1cHucfcu I'D Till.
LONDON, May 2.-The Emin relief
committee gave reception IN honor of
Henry NJ. Stanley this evening. The
Prince of Wales presided. Among the
guests were the Princess Of Wales,
Princess Victoria, the Duke and Ouch
ess Of Edinburgh, Prince Christian,
Prince Albert Victor, Prince George,
the Duke of Fife. the Lord Mayor of
London and large number of distin-
guished persons. The Prince of Wales,
in the name of the English people, well
coined the illuStriouS traveller and said
he was glad to accord him a hearty
greeting after all he had gone through
Mr.. Stanley, who was received with
prolonged cheers, said his position was
a difficult one in addressing them, the
committee hamperlng his freedom in
regard to what he should say. He de-
fePded the route across Africa which he
had selected. He paid high tribute
to the devotion and courage of his asso-
ciates. He said he could have dis
pensed with the services of none of
them. When Emln was relieved for
the second time, said Mr. Stanley, his
so-called subjects had revolted four
times. Relief reached him at critical
period. The Prince of Wales proposed
vote of thames to Mr.. Stanley, which
was adopted by reclamation.
