TIE EFFHcrs of the passage OF the Nc
Kinley tariff bill by the U. 8. House OF Rep
resentatives, that have 80 far become mani
fest in practical manner, are great in
crease in the Cuban duty on the -four of this
country and an increase in the French duty on
corn imported from the United States. And
yet the farmers of the great corn and wheat
growing States of the Northwest sent to
Congress the men who passed the bill re-
ferred to. The farmers are the sufferers.
The manufacturers have no foreign market
to lose. as the duty on raw material has a..
ways deprived them of such a market.

did, buying summer home near Washing
ton and selling it at an advanced price ut the
expiration of his term Of office, ss he, Harr!-
son, could not use bis official rank as a

which is the most seemly for President !:
to buy summer home with biz own money,
aud when he has no further use for it to
sell it at open market price, or to accept
such a home as gift, and thereby be
under obligations to the givers? All right

ACCORDING To dispatch from Chattanoe-
ga, at the ex-Confedsrate reunion there last
week, 10 all the line Of the procession not a
single Con federate flag was displayed, and
one OF the speakers said "the South was on
the wrong side 10 the war tesween the
States" No wonder the average northern
msn has such poor opinion of southern
people.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1890-07-07

How CAN the people of the North be ex'
pacted to be correctly informed about south
ern affairs when newspapers printed 30 close
to the South as Washington, apparently, al
least. know "a little OF the true condition q
such sffairs as if they were published in the
moon. In an editorial reference to The
shooting of two negroes here on the by
q policeman, one of tie papers referred 10
saws the shooting might have been syerteo
had the principals but paused long enough
10 consider how little reason there was for q
resort to violence" The policeman, who
was principal, had been assaulted while in
the legitimate d scharge OF his duty, been
knocked down and badly cut and bruised by
blow in his face, and the man who struck
him, and crowd of other infurla'ed ne
vroes, we're advancing upon him. Now,
every body who knows any thing at FL
about negroes, knows that at such moment
the policeman had no time to pause for any
thing, but, least of all. to give enraged ne
vross time 10 consider how little reasen
there is for resort to violence" as few un-
excltsd negroes are amenable to reasor, let
alone those whose feelings are wrought up
by whisky and race prejudice combired.
Northern editors, il they would avoid rem
dering themselves ridiculous, should employ
people who have lived In the South to pre-
pare their articles on southern affairs.

WALL STRERT WINS
The House Passes the Conference
Report on the Silver Bill.

The House Passes the Conference
Report on the Silver Bill.
WAsHINrToN, July 12.-By strict
party vote the house to-day adopted the
conference report on the silver bill,
which now goes to the president for ap-
proYal. Discussing the substitute meas
ure Mr.. Bland said it surrendered every
principle of bi-metallism. 1t made
combination with the bullion speculat-
Ors of Wall street. In the interest of
Wall street it departed from the legal
ratio and changed that ratio from 16 to 1
to20 to l. 1t was neither silver bill
nor a greenback, but simply political
device, concocted to tide over an emer-
gency. Now was the time to. make
fight. Ii the conference report was Ie-
Jected another conference would be held
and the Objectionable features of the
report stricken out, and that was what
he had Intended to do. Mr.. Morrow, of
California, expressed his approval of
the conference report and proceeded to
argue that the depression in the price
OF silver in recent years had resulted
from artificial manipulation. MI. Can
non. OF Illinois, favored the report and
hoped that an international agreement
could be reached that would establish a
fixed ratio between silver and gold. Mr..
Townsend. of Colorado, said that he
and some other Republicans had voted
for free coinage, and if the gentlemen
on the other side had stood solid free
coinage bill would have passed the
house. Then they had recognized that
the only way to get silver legislation at
this session was to go back to the Re-
publican party, where they had always
belonged, and get it from that party.
After further debate the conference re-
port was agreed to by strict party

ALBERT LEA, Minn., July 12.-The
Republican county convention to-day
first held caucus. which appointed two
committees to make states for state and
congressional delegates. The commit
tees reported the delegates, and the con-
vention went through the form of elect
ing them. The following go to the state
convention: DR.. A. G. Wedge, Ellend
Erickson, Thomas Dunno, T. L. Carter,
John P. Hortland, II. A. Hanson. John
Robertson. They were instructed for

would like to support Knute Nelson.

Fl. Twiford. Oluff Lee, W. Christie,
Alex Peterson, w. f. Grams, T.V. Knat-
old, j. NJ. Emerson. G. O. ;Esse, N. T.
Sandberg. They were instructed

determined votes. Alternates were
chosen in each case. The state dele
gates were instructed for Brown for sec-
retary of state. The city politicians ran
the machine. Col. Sheehan, deputy
United States marshal, and Railroad
Commissioner Gibbs were conspicuous
in the third house, and were faithful
workers for Merriam and 'Dunnell, but
their services were not needed, and it
will be useless for them to claim any of
the fodder.

OPPOSED TO THE PAPACY.
Manitoba Orangemen Have 8
Blowout at Winnepeg.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., July 12.-When the
Orangemen of Manitoba decided to back
up certain resolutions adopted by the
grand lodge against Jesuit and French
Catholic aggression and interference in
matters of government, no one deemed
that the gathering to-day would be half
as successful as it was. Orangeism was
supposed to be practically dead, but it
was revived for this occasion. Seven
thousand people came into this city and
celebrated with the greatest enthusi-
aSm. The procession of Orange lodges
was over mile long, and closely packed
at that. Speeches were made by prom
inent public men, all of whom con-
demned the Subservency of the Domin-
ion, Ontario and Quebec govern
ments to Catholic influence, and
lauded the Manitoba government
for the decisive way in which
1t had taken hold of the separate school
question, and enacted other laws tend
ing to completely sever church from
state. Mr.. Hughes, public school in
spectOr, of Toronto. Ont, who has been
attending the educational convention at
st. Paul, was one of the principal
speakers. During the procession
team Of horses attached to carriage In
which j. B. Ferguson, stationer, and
family were driving became fractions
and two of his children were thrown
out, one of whom, little girl six years
of age. was instantly killed, and the
other seriously injured about the hips.
