TAXING MINING PRODUCTS.

Well ND on general orders in the sen
ate, and soon to be reached, stands Sena-
Tor LEAYITT's bill repeating the law
now in force for the taxing of mineral
products. The Senate'S bulletin day
after day bears the legend that the tax
committee has reported unfavorably on
this measure. and the further notation
that the judiciary committee reports
that the bill sought to be repealed is un-
constitutional. How in the name of
common sense can two such reports
stand side by side? If the Judiciary
committee is right and the present law
is unconstitutional, why should the tax
committee report unfavorably on the
bill TO repeal it? Ought laws which are
unconstitutional be allowed to stand on
our statute books? On what grounds,
pray. does the tax committee favor
The maintenance of measure which
is in violation of the constitution?
The present law exempts mining
property from the burden of ordinary
taxation, and subjects it to the pay
mcnt of an ininitesimal percentage
on its output in lieu of the regular ex-
actions. This is an Ubiquitous applica-
tion OF the protection heresy. 1t is
aimed to encourage the mining indus
tries of Minnesota, and for this purpose
increase the tax rate of every one else
in the counties where mines are operated
and in the state at large. Tbs protec-
ton steal is bad enough in national af-
fairs. but fortunately it cannot be per-
petrated in the state unless the consti-
tuition is thrust aside to make it posi-
bic. No one has introduced law to re-
lieye the farmer from paying the tax on
his land when he raises Docrop Oh it, or
The laborer from paying the tax on the
lOt where lie will build his homestead
wien he gets rich enough. But this is

NOT A coon YEAR

A high political authority is able to
see no one in the field for the Republi-
can nomination for president except
HARRISON. 1t assumes that BLAINE
would be ruled out by physical inca
paclty, if he were willing to act in bad
faith to the president and secretly i'll
spire his friends to support him.
ALGER and MCKINLEY are not fairly
in the field, although trying to let the
bars down. The situation is not en-
couraging to those who would not deem
1t great honor to be named as the
choice of hopeless cause. HARRISON
does not realize that there was much
more to the defeat last fall than an ey-
hibition of momentary dissatisfaction
by many Republicans, based on misap-
prehension. that kept them from going
to the election. Most of the others do
not share his deiuSiOn.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

The conference to be held at Cincin-
natl next month has not attracted
great deal of attention from the public
nj large, but it promises to be among
the most significant public incidents of
the year. 1t is to be a conference of
representatives of labor and farmers
organizations, with a view TO the Or
EanizatiOn of a popular party for the
presidential contest. Some of those
who are interested in it allow their en-
ihusiaSm to commit them to the theory
that the organization to have inception at
cincinnati can designate the successor
10 President HARRISON. That is a TO-
mantle notion. Still the third party devel-
"pmcnts the past year may indicate that
surprises are possible in politics. Kan
SaS aud Nebraska are expected to be
somewhat in the lead at the conference.
But all the Western and many of the
Southern and Central states are expected
10 take part. Perhaps nearly all the
states will have some representation
there. If the gathering fills the antici-
pationS of its projectors, there is no
reason TO doubt that the friction of as
ISOLATION will generate the requisite
faith for the formation of a party.
Provision will be made for the holding
Of national convention a year later,
and the inauguration Of political cam
paign. The Alliance IN the South has
not seemed disposed to engage in
amy third party movement, from
fbe fact that it has dominated
The Democratic party III nearly
all the states where it has made
much effort. Whether it is to have
part in the Cincinnati conference
is not quite clear. Probably not, if it
involves separate political action.
There are indications that the Alliance
may be power in states as far east as
Ohio. 1t will hardly affect parties
much in the New England or Atlantic
states. The third parties in the past
have not often changed the result OF
general elections. The Prohibition,
Grcenback and Labor tickets have
rarely diverted any state from its politi-
cal moorings, but the Alliance people
have been overturning political crock
cry without really having an organized
party. The Cincinnati conference will
be noted with some concern by the old
party leaders.

THE SLIGO ELECTION.
Great Surprise Manifested at Par
nelI's Strength.


nelPs Strength.
SLIGO. April 6.-'rhe result of the
polling yesterday for mem Der of par
lament to succeed the late Peter Nc
Donald, as the representative for North
Sligo, was announced this afternoon.
The contest resulted in the election of
the McCarthyite candidate. Aid. Bernard
Collory, of Sligo. over the Parnellite
nominee. Aid. Valentine b. Dillon Jr.,
of the Rotunda ward, Dublin. Mr.. Col
lory's majority was 400. The re-
suit of the election at Sligo
has not been received with
satisfaction by the Liberal leaders.
Mr.. Gladstone is said to be surprised as
we'll as disappointed by the strength
which Mr.. Parnell hassshOwn in face Of
the united efforts of the English Lib
eral party, the Irish hierarchy and the
new national federation. Parnell is ac-
knoWledged now to be the representa-
tive of formidable minority, which,
while not strong enough to have its own
way, is too strong to be treated with
anything like Indifference. A leading
Liberal member of parliament said this
evening that the majority was 1000
short of being decisive. Nothing could
show" he said, more strikingly the
wonderful influence of Parnell than the
fact that, almost single handed,
with most of his ADLER iieutenants
absent from the country, and with the
terrible weight of the OShea divorce
case upon him, he should be able to poll
such vote against popular resident
of Sligo with candidate almost IN
known in Sligo, and against other
united interests, making a combination
more powerful to all appearances than
any ever before arrayed in an Irish elee-
ton" The Sligo election has not
tended to restore Liberal enthusiasm
for home rule, and the general senti-
ment seems to be to make home rule

THE CIGARETTE IN POLITICS.

The cigarette comes into politics in
Chicago. The Republican candidate
for mayor, who was nominated because
his father, E. B. WAsHBURNE, gained
some popularity with Germans bX.pro-
tecting them as minister to France dur
ing the war with Germany, is charged
with being cigarette smoker, and con-
seouently inclined to dudeism. He is
said to be furnishing himself with the
campaign cigar and cob pipe during the
contest. But the cartoons represent him
always in the cigarette act. This is
evidently regarded as the strong point
to make on him. Unless the cigarette
had remarkable potency and defensive
strength it would be unable to hold its
own in the face of the prevalent hos
tiIlty. Incidental to the political phase
of its scope i'll Chicago, the evidence is
being adduced from the suit against a
large tobacco company in New York,
tried week or two ago. The parties
employed i'll the manufacture testified
that in most brands of cigarettes the
poorest quality of tobacco is used, the
fact being obscured by the cheapest
sort of chemicals One Of them used
this language:
AL sorts of bad cigarettes were put on the
market. The waste tobacco was made up
into cigarettes and sold for S1.50 a thousand,
while in fact good cigarettes could not be
sold for less than $3.50 thousand. The re-
taller sold them, however, at the same price
that good cigarettes brought.
But representations Of that sort will
not discourage the use. People do sur
vive the effects, often for years. If the
cigarette, however, is to be made a
factor in politics, consideration must be
had in the selection Of candidates.

A BOSTON MISTAKE.

A recent Boston paper, with the
wonted feeling inspired by self-con-
sciouSness in that locality, asserts I'M
equjvocally that Boston has by far the
best street car service in the world"
AS evidence of this various facts are
cited from an address in the interest of
the city roads before legislative COM
mittee. The conductors and drivers are
paid 81 for ten hours on the horse cars
and 81 % Oh the electricS, and the aver
age rate per mile for the transportation
of all passengers over the street lines in
the city and suburbs is little over one
cent per mile. 1t is not apparent in
these statements that the claim of sIl-
periority has any basis. The compensa-
ton to drivers and conductors is under
stood to be liberal for that section,
with view to expert service, but
does not differ materially from the
wages in the West. The aver
age rate Of transportation is kept
low by the enormous travel by this
method to suburban towns. In the
Twin Cities parties can travel on the
street lines al much less than cent per
mile. Boston may have lower rate
than the nickel for short distances, but
the claim to the best service is ridicu-
lOuS when it is admitted that the lines
in the city are still mainly operated by
horse power, the electrics extending to
the outside points. The Boston author
ity has evidently not been to st. Paul
and its twin lately. 1t Is remembered
when horses were used on some of the
lines in this section, but it is recalled
among primitive things. not exactly in
time, but as the plodding of slow peo-
pie. 1t seems ludicrous that in any in
telligent community, and Boston has
been conceded as reasonably so. a street
service operated by horse power could
be accepted as tolerable. not to speak
of it as the best. The Twins are far
ahead Of Boston in this matter.

ALITFLE ELECTION.

Rhode Island had its annual state
election on the. first day of the month,
and the antiquated system kept up in
that state of requiring a majority to
elect prevented any choice, and the
Legislature will elect the Republican,
although the Democrats had plurality.
Last year the Democrats carried the
Legislature, but fell little short this
time by quarrels among themselves.
There was no senator to elect, and very
little interest was felt in the election.
A few weeks ago, when there was a
congressman to elect, the Democrats had
notrouble to secure him. But it must
be monotonous to have elections every
year, with a good deal of Grating be-
tween times. A plurality elects for
president, and the Democrats have not
failed to have the largest vote for sew
eral years.
