BLAINES BOLT.

The MCKINLEY bill must be mon
strosity of frightful mien when it fright
ems Mr.. BLAINE from its support.
Although an effort has been made
by the friends of the admin
istraton to keep Mr.. BLAINE
opposition to the measure secret, it
has at length leaked out that the erst-
while champion of protection is not
only opposed to the MCKINLEY bill.
but he has told his party friends in con-
fidence that the passage of this bill will
surely wreck the Republican party.
This is strange language to come from
a man whose whole life has been spent
in advocating the high tariff idea, and
who was never known to finch from
the support of party measure. There
are those who imagine that old
age has cooled the ardor of Mr..
BLAINE'S partlSanship and that
his defeat for the presidency has
had the effect of broadening his
views on all public questions. 1t is GEL
tain that Mr.. BLAINE now exhibits more
independence than at any former time

tainly of higher quality. Whatever be
the causes for this change, it is certain
" creditable to Mr.. BLAINE that he has
the courage to express his convictions.
His specific reason for opposing the
MCKINLEY bill is that its passage will
check all progress in the way of estab-
fishing trade relations with the Latin
states to the south of us. The late Pan
American congress was a great eye
opener to Mr.. BLAINE. 1t enabled him
to see, as he never saw before, the re-
strictive effects of the protection policy
1t is true he now doesn't see it only as il
applies to the South American states
Still, that is enough to convince hin
that the policy is detrimental to oul
national interests. Mr.. BLAINE'S con
version comes late, and yet it was 81
with SAUL of Tarsus, who afterward:
became the ablest and the most Jealous
of the apostles. We hope that MI
BLAINE's life will be spared long
enough to undo some of the grea
wrong he has done awhile leading tht
protection hosts to rapine and oppres
sion,

NOT HIS FAUI,T.

None of the recent visiting editors
from this state to Washington need feel
that they are called upon for personal
vindicatlon before the dispensing pow

HARRISON is not frequent subject of
conversation at the federal capital.
Temporary sojourners of late, especially,
have been impressed with the local feel
ing that the personality of the execu-
tive is of very small interest there.
Probably his recent recognition Of the
absurdity Of thinking of a second term
elected more favorable remark than
any other incident in the White house
for long time. There have been pres
idents that have been more abused, but
they had friends equally ardent. HAIR
RIsoN is rarely spoken of except when
he has a specially petulant passage with
some prominent Republican or has
something given him by grateful BEN
ehciaries. 1t is not his fault, however.
He was made small man, and can't
grow larger, even in big place.

The Minneapolis Tribune of yester-
day intimates that there has been fraud
in the taking of the st. Paul census,
and in accordance with that allegation
insists that persons who live in glass
houses should not throw stones. While
this is in the nature of 'You-are-an-
other" argument. and while we are con-
fident that there is not particle of
foundation for the intimation, on behalf
of the people of this city the GLOBE.
urges that the most searching investiga-
ton be made of the st. Paul census re-
turns, and if one act of dishonesty is
discovered we insist upon the speedy
punishment of the criminal. We can
say in all candor that the people Of this
city desire nothing but all honest count,
nor will they be satisfied with anything
else. If there is name which has been
put on the st. Paul census roll fraudu-
be done forthwith.
If our Minneapolis friends have a
suspicion that there has been fraud in
the taking of the st. Paul census, we
invite them one and all to inspect the
returns. If they discover the evidence
of fraud we assure them that the evil
dence will be accepted without quib-
bling, nor will there be any effort to
smother it in the district attorneys
Office. Furthermore, we promise the
aid of Our entire police force, patrol
wagons included, to aid in arresting the
suspects, and they may be taken up to
Minneapolis to be tried before United
States Commissioner ODELL. Nor will
we ask for a change of venue; and if
the district attorney asks for continu-
ance of the case our people will rise up
ell masse to urge an immediate
prosecution of the laWbreakers.
And last of all, we promise that
there shall be no indignation meetings,
nor one word of reproach against the
| citizen OF citizens of our neigh
boring city who may see proper to make
the complaint. In fact, if we have rea-
son to believe that fraud has been COM
mitted. or is even contemplated, there
are plenty of our own citizens who are
willing to lodge complaint against the
| offenders.
There is no danger of padded census
in st. Paul. The worst fear is we will
not have an accurate enumeration of the
people who do live here, and that the
returns will fall several thousands short
of our actual population. We are al
most positive of this fact, and yet oui
| only murmurs are that defective law
and the inefficient system adopted by
the census bureau made it impossible
for the local supervisor to do better
than he has done.
Still, if there is any one in st. Paul,
or out of it. who believes that the CEN
sus here has not been taken honestly,
we urge that an immediate and thorough
investigation be had.

1T TROUBLES THEM.

The Iowa Republicans are intensely
impatient for the house to push through
the senate bill in regard to the original
package matter. Their embarrass-
ment was illustrated at the county con-
vention at Cedar Rapids the past week.
This is in one of the large counties
where the prohibitionists are making
hard times for the party. The resolu-
ton committee made two reports. The
majority one favored standing by the
"settled policy" and urging congress
to pass the WILSON bill. The minority
favored the substitution of the declara-
ton that 1.-THE Republican party shall
live if prohibition dies" The conven-
ton believed that improbable as mat
ter of fact, and offensive to the dom
inant element of the party in the
state. The peculiar feature was that
the reports of both elements were voted
down, and no declaration made. The
passage of the WILSON bill would clear
the way for their coming state conven-
ton to take position. The organs
of the party express great solicit
tude for the license states. Their
interests are affected like the pro-
hibitionists. An illustration is cited
in Pennsylvania, where liquor dealer.

QUIETLY BUT FIRMLY.

That Is How the French Are Act
ing in Newfoundland.
HALIFAX. N. s., June 22.-An inter-
view with the commander of the French
war ship Indreis is published at St.
Johns, N. F. 1t was from this vessel
that an officer went on shore at Bay st.
George to compel British subjects to
take up their nets to make room for
French fishermen. The interview is re-
ported as follows:
''Are the accounts of the friction
which recently took place on the French
shore, as reported, true"'
''There is germ of truth in them, but
they are fearfully exaggerated and
overdrawn. One of those accounts states
that an armed crew landed, patrolled
the shore and took up fiShermen'S nets.
Only oneAofficer went on shore for the
purpose, and he acted as quietly as pos
sible.'
The officer in question was pointed
out to the reporter. and, despite his
mustachios and gold lace, did not look
very formidable.
ibid you think you were exceeding
your rights, as allowed by the treaty, III
thus ordering British subjects to remove
their nets"
''No, as I translate 1t, the first and
principal right of fishing belongs to the
French, and it is perfectly within the
province of French rights to order the
removal of nets of any British subjects
that may interfere with them. New
foundland takes different view OF the
matter, but the treaty is plain on this
point to any persons who read it,"
''DO you think that fish, other than
cod fish, come under the meaning OF
the treaty?"
II think that fish is fish, and though
British subjects might argue that there
was no such thing as lobster fishery on
the French shore at the time the treaty
was made, still France cannot be pre-
vented from or blamed for translating
fish in the broadcast sense and going
into lobster fishery"
Ibid your men act in any hostile
spirit to the inhabitants of the French
shcre during the unpleasantness this
spring ?"
"On the contrary, they had strict in
structions to act quietly, though firmly.
They felt that they had duty to per-
form, to uphold what they considered
a national right; and though they
could not be deferred from doing
that duty, they did it with as little dis
comfort and inconvenience to British
subjects as possible. AS for the reports
of any friction between my men and
fishermen on the coast, l may say there
was none, the owners of the nets which
1 was forced to order to be removed TAX
ing them up promptly. The whole cir
cumStances of the case were grossly eX-
aggerated-fOr what reason L am at a
loss to conceive"

PROBABLY A FRAUD.
The Eastern Building and Loan
Association.

Inc Eastern anu AOdh
Association.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-Chief Of
Detectives Wood several days ago re-
ceived a letter from j. P. Dunn,
of Fort Smith, Ark, making in
quiry about the Eastern Build
ing and Loan Association Of Phil
adelphia, which, he said, established
some few months ago several branch
offices in that state and employed him
as agent. Enclosed were prospectuses
and blanks of the association" Chief
Wood had received similar inquiry
about the ''association" in April,
and had detailed detective to
look it up. He found the ''asso-
citation" had an office in the Lucas
building, at Jumper and Chestnut
streets, and received from President
AltberS an assurance that a mortgage
of $500, which complainant was in
curing about, had been sent to him.
Since that time numerous inquiries have
been coming in from all parts of the
West and Southwest. The detective
found the office had been removed
from the Lucas building, but by the aid
of the pOStOffice carriers traced the sec
rotary q. F. Westermam to Room 4, at
PIG Vikings alley, where he had desk
room. He went there yesterday and
was informed that Westerman came
there about once week for his mail.
He also learned that the ''asso-
citation" was chartered on Feb. Is.
last. Westerman had boarded on Thir-
tenth street, above Race, but had not
been there since last March. The de-
tective reported to Chief Wood that he
was unable to locate any of the other
officers. The complaints are all of one
kind. The inquirers state that they
had been induced by circulars
to create mortgages on their prop
critics and send their papers to
Philadelphia and that was the last of
them. They feared the loans had been
negotiated and the proceeds had been
retained by the association. One of the
officers, he said,w defaulting official
of secret society. One of the circu-
lars claims for the ''asSociation" cap
ital of 81, 100000 in shares of 800 each.
