WHAT CAUSED TIP

r 1t will be remembered that Willard
recently named the MCKINLEY tariff as
one of the chief causes of the partially
disappearing commercial deadlock.
That it is PandOra'S box of mischief
to the party that enacted it has been ap-
parent for at least month to MANY
people, and even Republicans are being
found who admit that it has had an un-
favorable business effect. The gracious
and delightful social factor in the COM
minglingS of life, CHAUNCEY DEEPEN.
has recently stepped above the partisan
platform, and, in his genial and versatile
fashion, diffused sturdy sense in
his diagnosis of the financial cramp. He
said there was shortage OF currency
for tine volume of traffic. The
people and the government locked
up too much of it, and there
was not enough in circulation to
lubricate properly the commercial and
industrial wheels. In his view. 1.-The
ultimate results of the MCKINLEY bill,
by the unnatural spasms it induced,
we're financial construction. 1t dis
turbed the commercial conditions and
excited the apprehensions of importers
and wholesale dealers, causing money
to be withdrawn from circulation.
There were accumulations of goods in
anticipation of demands in excess of
consumption. This contributed to stag
nation. But 1t is not material to trace
processes. The Republican orator and
railroad magnate- aims the stone at the
right head. 1t is fortunate, however.
that the financial and business situa-
ton is so substantial and secure that
even a MCKINLEY bill cannot but
for the moment disturb the even
and prosperous tenor of affairs.
There may be difference of opinion as
to the policy of Mr.. DEPEw's propo-
sition to extend the time for the pay
ment of the SIO,O0O,o 900 of, duties re-
qnired by the old tariff on the goods in
the custom houses to be paid by Feb. l.
If the money has been boarded for this
use, it will soon be given release. On

STATE SENTIMENT.

The annual meeting of the Farmers
Alliance wilrbe held at st. Paul on the
30th inst. IgnatiuS Donnelly an
nounces himself as candidate for presi-
dent. If he succeeds, that ends the
Alliance in Minnesota. With DOnnelly
as president and DR.. Fish for secretary,
Mrs. Parsons would make good third
for an advisory board.-Morris Sun.
The city dailies are making great
preparations for reporting the coming
legislative session, and the impression
prevails that the session will be some
thing the nature of a circus, with Don
nelly taking a leading part. 1t will be
monkey and parrot time, and no mis-
take.-Stillwate Democrat.
Though man of great genius, it
seems to us as though Mr.. Donnelly is
not the proper character for that posi-
ton. His political course has been
such as to destroy that confidence which
the farmers should have in their leader,
and with Mr.. Donnelly as president for
one year tue Alliance would be a total
wreck.-JOrdan Independent.
So far as we can learn, he never said
a good word in the late campaign for
MI. Owen, the Alliance candidate for
governor His whole course seems
largely selfish one. What have the
farmers to gain by giving him particle
of support? Absolutely nothing. They
may as wei. repudiate Donneliy and
elect for their president Ole of their
own number and not professional pol
itician and constant trOuble-Stirrer.-
Mower Transcript.
lgnatius Donnelly's boom for the
Alliance presidency is receiving but lit
tie encouragement from the papers of
the state, except it be from few which
hope that thereby the downfall of the
Alliance may be sooner accomplished
Herman Enterprise.
The Alliance learns that tits because
it has claimed that S. M. Owen would
be the proper man to send to the United
States Senate is one of the reasons why
Donnelly concluded to stake his polit-
zeal future on his candidacy for presi-
dent of the Alliance. This shows that
it is matter of political ambition with
Donnelly. The records of these two
men show which is the safest leader.
Owen is a comparatively poor man,
while Donnelly is worth at least a
quarter of a million of dollars.-The
Alliance.
Mr.. DonneIly hobs up serenely, and
mOdeStly (0 in his usual fashion asks
the Farmers Alliance to elect him pres
ident. If the Alliance wants to commit
political hari-kari, it should by all means
elect him, and then he would be in a
fine position to turn the state over to
Merriam for United States senator two
years hence.-Fairmont News.

CRANK NOTIONS.

Some have been uDgenerOus enough
to classify the peculiar New York news
paper man, Col. SHEPARD, as a crank.
He is man of wealth, las an attachment
OF the VANDERBILTS should be, bat is
not above adding to his store. Besides
his paper, he owns Fifth avenue coach
line and has other business interests.
He may not make business of his re-
ligion, but he gets good deal of adver-
Using out of it. Still, it may be con-
ceded that, like WANAMAKER, he is Il
truly good man. In fact, he at times
speaks as if partner in the Divine
counSels. In a recent Sunday address
on Sabbath breaking New York paper
reports him:
lie said that the statistics would show that
railway accidents were judgments of the
Lord upon ailway officials for running sun
day trains. He further SAID that he had
studied railway affairs on three continents,
and had found that they would make Sc per
cent more if they did not run Sunday trains
than they did i'll their present goddess way.
Il have found in my researches said the
colonel, that my figure of So per cent is &C
curate. 1t has been tried in two places-on-
a stage line in London, and on a small rail
road i'll Kentucky"
No explanation is given as to how he
obtained the information that disasters
upon railways are judgments for allow
ing wheels to turn OH Sunday. lie is
carrying his privilege as newsgath-
erer too far i'll not putting the sinful
railway people in communication with
his source of information. 1t is not to
be presumed that he is pledged to Sc
crecy in the matter. He can scarcely
mean to assert that there are Sc per cent
more accidents on Sunday than on week
days. Or the same Sunday that Col.
SHEPARD made his startling announce
ment, in the same city. two men fell
dead in the midst of religious services.
He wonld hardly insist that these were
judgments upon church-going. But an
occasional individual like SHEPARD
serves to recall the fact that there was
an epoch in part of this country when
men like him put their notions into
laws. There was no more practical re-
ligions but people were made uneom-

VARIOUS COMMENT.

If the state of Wisconsin were to Dor
row an idea from Minnesota and from
the Wisconsin Grange, and turn her
state prison into a manufactory of bind
ing Irvine, to be sold to farmers at cost,
more than one perpleXing problem
might be solved thereby. The present
system of letting the labor of the pris-
onerS to contractors is highlyunsatisfac-
tory.-MiIwaukee Wisconsin.
Mr.. Blaine seems to be very easy
Tribune is supporting him on protec-
ton platform, while the Chicago Trib-
une is supporting him on free trade
platform. The suggestion that Blaine
should pray for protection from some of
his WOuld-Oe ardent admirers is a good
one.-Des Moines Register
The Democratic st. Paul GLOBE dis
cusses the apportiohment question in
reasonable temper. cit is probable" it

Objectionable upon partisan grounds
referring to the proposition to increase
the membership of the house to 356. 1t
believes it probable that ALI apportion-
ment bill will be passed this session,
''even if opposed by the Democrats; but
it does not appear that there is basis for

he that obstreperous partisan opposi-
ton to an apportionment that recognizes
the gains in population of Western
states is not only useless kicking
against the prlcks, but is inconsistent
with Democratic claims of gains III the
West, and a virtual confession that the
Democracy has not only not conquered
new territory, but has little hope of
doing so.-SiouX City Journal.

STILL ALARMED.

If the Democratic anti-lotterY COM
mlttee in Louisiana is not needlessly
alarmed, the obituary notices so numer-
ously given that pestiferous Institution
have been somewhat hasty. 1t has been
understood that the cramps given it by
tine withdrawal of mail facilities and de-
NAL of the express substitute had about
taken the vitality out of it and induced
the graveyard yawn. This committee
sounds an alarm. The snake still lives
and proposes to live. 1t is claimed by
the lottery gang that it really secured
the submission of the extension amend
ment by the last legislature to give it
twenty-five years more of life after 1898,
and this will be voted on in April, 1892.
The opponents of it evidently have
little confidence that the thing can be
beaten in the popular vote. and urge an
amendment to the national constitution
prohibiting lotteries. This is not likely
to meet with much favor. The Louis
lana people may be needlessly alarmed.
The thing may fizzle before its limit is
reached.

THE TRAMP QUESTION,

Even the philanthropic mind does not
turn with much geniality toward the
tramp as all object of benevolent effort.
He is assumed to be perYersely alien
ated from all useful and respectable
ways and rover by complacent habit. He
is treated as nuisance by the laws in
some states, and abated at the expense
of other communities. In most cases.
the avenue to industry is not one sought
by the impecunious traveller. He would
pass the most attractive Signboard di-
recting to it with uuconcern. But if
there is any feasible method of making
a good citizen of him aSide from the rec
ipe somewhat popular now for good
Indian it may be worth trial. An ac-
count is given of an experiment in
augurated in Germany benevolent
people eight years ago that has
operated so well as to be spoken
OF as solving the tramp Ques-
ton in that country. In the brief time
of its trial it has reduced the number of
tramps by a large per cent, and made
industrious men out of many. The
system provides for the establishment
of labor colonies III various parts of the
country that afford varieties of employ
ment suited to all. Those who will not
work are turned over to the authorities
as Migrants. After fourteen days the
man is given wages, the cost of the
clothing and other articles given him
being deducted. At 81 of these stations
the past year there were 6,23l persons
admitted. There is some suggestion in
it of the scheme of Gen. BOOTH that
is engaging so much attention of late.
There are in Germany thousand sub
stations where temporary relief and
work is afforded. There may be some
thing in the system WORTH importing, as
there is no tariff in the way.

MUNICIPAL ENTERPR1sE,

EnterprSing parties in Omaha, who
are looking out for developing agencies
locally, have just prepared pamphlet
fOrsuse among capitalists in England
WHO are likely to improve opportunities
for investment in this country. 1t is
claimed that these foreign parties have
heretofore passed through Omaha to
Denver to invest, or gone to the neigh
boring cities of similar class. The lat
ter comprise Minneapolis. st. Paul,
Kansas City and Denver. 1t is claimed
that Omaha-has outstripped tine others
that are named as rivals in the rapid
ity of growth and energy of develop
ment." The evidence of this, so far as
comparative statistics are concerned. is
ill the growth of population III the last
decade and the vote at the Novem-
Der election. Omaha had in the
census of 1880 a population of 80
BIS, and in 1890 had $780, 26.
Those figures afford small excess of
percentage over the others; but that is
one of the few cities where the census
taker caused gratifed surprise at the re-
suit of his work. 1t has been alleged
that he operated upon principles far
more liberal than were tolerated in the
other cities, and earned the enthusiastic
gratitude of the community. The vote
last month is given as: Omaha, 2l.45S;
st. Paul, 2l,1S4. That is below the act
ual vote of st. Paul; but Omaha was
given in the census 6.225 more popula-
ton than st. Paul. Its vote was in pro-
digious excess of any former vote, slim
ulated by the temperance fight and the
popular local candidate for governor.
His election is contested on the ground
that the vote of Omaha was illegally
large. The population of st. T aul Is quite
surely larger than that of Omaha; but
useful note may be made of the enter
prising spirit manifested there.

although Secretary WINDOW and the

posed to withdraw all such funds. The
