Tariff Per the Farmer.

II the Union party does not hur-
ry and get into power, all the reforms
IL proposes will be in vogue before it
gets ready b take them up. The
Unionists demand a revision Of
the tariff in the interest OF the farm
er. The Portland Telegram says:
The new tariff. as proposed by the
house committee on waysand means,
gives the agricultural interests Of
the country greater protection than
any previous tariff. Continued low
prices for farm products have
brought the farmer into great prom
lnence Of late, and this protection
from the products Of Canada and
other foreign countries, which find
their way into the United States, il
demanded. When the outside ship
ments are checked We will have
more Of home market for home
producers.
The following shows the adyan-
tage gained by farmers in the new
tariff as now proposed over the
present rates:

every claim allowed that is completed
and callssfor evidence made in those not
completed. This result has been
secured, Gen. Raum's letter says,
largely by means of two orders issued
the latter part of December last. The
first order required that an examination
of the claims pending in the office
should be made, and that all cases which
appeared to be. complete should be
placed upon the completed files.''
The adjudicating divisions were d.
rected to spend five days In
each week examining claims on these
files and one day exclusively to ma king

claims were completed HAS, up u uate.

A Despicable Scheme Blocked by
the Police.
Last night two couples from Mime
apolis came down to st. Paul on visit.
They registeredeat Keefe's hotel as man
and wife. The proprietor of the
hotel discovered from one of the
young wOman's crying there was some
thing wrong, and notified Sergeant
SweitZer and Officer Call, who arrested
the parties. At the station one of the
girls said she was the daughter Of a re-
spectacle widow in Minneapolis, and
came down with friend of her cousin II,
Charles Beche, who accompanied the
other girl. They had missed the last
train back, and her Cousin Charlie had
induced her to go to the Keefe
house. She did not know they
had been registered as man and wife,
and when she found that the others
were endeavoriug to induce her
to retire with her male escort,
she made the protest which the
proprietor overheard. The girl is
respectable and her name is withheld.
Her cousin, Charles Beche, gave the
name of Gibson at the station, and is
employed IN fruit store, and his COM
panion, Lou Nelson, is Mime
apolis prostitute. Beche's male
friend, who was In the arrange
ment to ruin the girl, gave the name of

Norton woman will be prosecuted to
the fullest extent to-day in the police

TIE MONTANA SENATOR'S.
They Will BE Discussed Again
This Week.

I0ey Will ne DlSCuSSeu again
This Week.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-In the SEN
ate, the Chinese enumeration act will
come up tomorrow, and Mr.. Mitchel's
amendments, intended to restore the
bill to something like its purport when
1t was received from the house, will be
in order. 1t is not expected that this
bill will occupy much time. After it is
disposed of, the discussion of the re-
ports in the Montana election case will
be resumed. At the rate of progress
made last week, the case bids fair to go
over into next week. 1t will give way,
however, for prompt consideration of
the worlds fair bill, should the select
committee on that subject make re-
port after its meeting next Thursday, at
which time the subcommittee is eX-
pected to report upon the extent
and quality of Chicago's subscriptions
to the guarantee fund. The administra-
tive customs bill stands next to the
Montana contest on the regular caucus
programme. Saturday, according to
the new order of business, will be de-
voted to the calendar for the passage of
bills to which no objection is made.
Tomorrow will be ''district day" in the
house, ana the greater part OF 6he SeS-
sion will probably be devoted to the fur
ther consideration of the bill to estab-
lish national park on Rock creek,
which is the unfinished business. Naval
matters are likely to be discussed Tues
day. The committee on naval affairs
has several measures of interest on the
calendar, prominent among which
are the McAdoo bill to prohibit
the enlistment of aliens in the
navy, and the Mates retirement bill.
The naval appropriation bill is also in
a position favorable to speedy cOnsid-
Grafton. About the middle of the week
the elections committee will take the
floor and call up three contested elec-
ton cases in order, namely: Posey VS..
Parrott. Indiana: Bowen VS.. Buchanan,
Virginia; and Waddell VS.. Wise, Vir-
ginia. Over the first two cases, as the
committee has reported in favor of the
sitting Democratic members. there is
likely to be little discussion, save that
Mr.. Cheadle is expected to champion
Posey's claims. But in the case of
Waddell VS.. Wise there will be tri-
angular fight. The majority of the
committee will contend for Waddell,
the Democratic minority for new elec-
ton, and Mr.. Wise for his own seat.
Saturday afternoon has been set apart
for the delivery of eulogies upon the
late Representative Laird, of Nebraska.

collectively written, and will soon pub
lish. book entitled why the Solid
South; or Reconstruction and Its Re-
suits" 1t undertakes to narrate, fairly
snd dispassionately, in concise and
papular form, the history OF
the reconstructed governments in each
state, showing how the Republicans OBJ
tanned control and how they lost it, the
figures and facts as to shrinkage of val
ues and increase Of debt and taxation
under those governments, and the pros
perity of the South under present au-
spices. The book speaks of Abraham
Lincoln's death as an appalling calam-
ity to the South; argues that Andrew
johnson followed strictly Lincoln's
plan of restoration, and contends that if
Lincoln had lived he would have been
able to defend that plan against the as
saults of congress. Each chapter is
signed by its author, who thus becomes
directly responsible for the truth of his
statements; and the claim of the book
in its preface (written by Gen.
Herbert, its editor Is that,
in all the chapters, the facts
are understated rather than over
stated. The race question and race
troubles are extensively discussed, and
the statement made that there is no in
tention to agitate for the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment or the deportation
of the negro. Educational and material
statistics of many kinds are given in
support of the contention that the negro
is prospering. and that the South is
solving for itself the negro problem.
The book is dedicated to the business
men of the North, with a statement that
they are interested in continuing the
prosperity of the South.

RAILWAY MEN UNITE.
A Scheme for Federation of AID
Trainmen.

ELMIRA, N. Y, April 6.-Three hun-
dred delegates, representing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
firemen, brakemen and switchmen,
met here to-day, and, with
few members of the new order
of Railway Conductors, discussed
and adopted a scheme of federation be.
tween all the organizations of trainmen
in the United States. Delegates were
present from Buffalo. Jersey City, New
York, Hoboken and many places in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. There were
two secret meetings during the day and
public meeting was held in the opera
house tonight. A number of promi-
nent citizens delivered adj
dresses. Grand Master Sergeant, Of
the Firemen's. brotherhood, Grand Cons
ductor Howard. Grand Master wilkins
son, of the Brakemen's brotherhood, the
well known "Shandy McGuire," and
other prominent railroad men also
spoke. All declared that federation
would be in the interest of harmony,
and that the death note of strikes on
railroads had been sounded. The OBJ
ject is federation under one head of all
the different bodies, each to retain ito
own organization.
