their policy has been vindicated and
new industry established. Still more,
the statement goes with the cans that
they can be furnished at 50 per
100, in place of the former price
of So per 100 cans. This means that
fair profit can be made on them at this
price. and there is no intimation that
the American standard of wages is not
in vogue III the manufacture. with no
attempt to introduce the cheap female
and child labor of Wales. But what has
the new tariff to do with the matter?
The increased duties on tinware do not
become operative until next July. The
duty On tin ore does not come into effect
until still later. There is no pro-
vision in the tariff that can have any
effect upon this home manufacture
aside from the reduction Of one-tenth
of cent pound on the sheets used in
making tin plate. That can hardly have
afforded additional protection to the
rising industry. If it is insisted
that the anticipation of the duty
has advanced prices and afforded
the requisite stimulus. explanation will
be wanted of why the cans can be sold
at prices one-third below those under
the operation of the old tariff. Then, If
it is alleged that the block plate and
ore are both imported, and only the
labor of uniting them American, what
becomes'of the theory that the pauper
labor over the water furnishes the oc-
casion for protective duties? The fact
is, these American tin can people are
giving away the snap. They are show
ing, if they are truthful, that when
there is no auty in force they can make
tinware and sell it at two-thirds of the
old prices. 1t is then false pretense
that 20 per cent duties on tin plate are
needed to develop the manufacture in
this coantry. The bottom is all torn out
of the tariff scheme that would tax the
people millions to enable tinware to be
manufactured in the United States.

There is objection to state legislatures
devoting their energies very largely to
the consideration OF national topics. An
expression in reference to the force bill.
perhaps the tariff and coinage bill, would
be taken as yox populi, or frag-
mentary exposition. 1t might do serv-
ice in the way of rectifying the perver-
sity of the leftover representatives. AS
regards the Nicaragua canal, it is evil

eminent in financial way with great
scheme located outside the limits of the

favorable to the extension of aid sought,
but it is not indicated how the house or

An emphatic opinion in the legislature
of the state would have an effect.
About all the information, which
Is not very extensive, that has
been had in reference to the project has
come from those interested in the
scheme. 1t has been occasionally stated
that the company was getting things
into grand shape, and finding the Situa-
ton more favorable than anticipated.
There has been no occasion for concern
about the matter until this demand
came for the government Endorsement
of 500, 000,0 900 of bonds. The presenta-
ton of the subject to the senate must
have been very impressive, but the pub

its understanding of the facts. The

then the question has never been out of
mind. There have been frequent eX-
plOrations, and a large number of routes
have been found as the most available,
extending from Mexico into South

INGALLS,.

Mr.. INGALLS, will now retire to To-
peka or some other blooming Kansas
metropolis, and embark on the practice
of the law. The senate of the United
States has no further use for him, but
he will no doubt find sphere of activ-
ity in the service of those hungry cor
porations which are always said to be
waiting for eX-senators with salaries of
a hundred thousand dollars "a year in
their hands. Report has it that SEN
ator SPoONER also is to carry off con-
ISOLATION prize Of this kind, as we'll as the
senior senator from New York. 1t has
not yet been announced what sort of
sustenance awaits the gentleman from
South Dakota, but if the supply of Re-
publican ex-SenatorS keeps up, there
will be a reduction in salaries or
marked increase in the number of suf-
fering corporations.
Mr.. INGALLS, will be missed from the
United States senate, where he has been
a picturesque and interesting figure.
His extraordinary prominence is an evil
dence of the popular admiration for
brilliancy and wit no matter how COM
pletely it may be divorced from quail
ties of more serious and substantial
character. Mr.. INGALLS, activity has
never had any more motive and direc-
ton than June bugs on a summer
night. He has hit and missed, hit and
stung, and hit and missed again with
out any Ineligible purpose; and foes
and friends have alike felt the poison
of his sharp and biting tongue. No
particular good has been accomplished
to any cause by his efforts, and
he himself has not seemed to
have had this in mind. He appears
to have regarded the senate chamber
as a sort of circus, and he has gone
about with a whip in his hand. half
clown and half ringmaster, swapping
peoples ears and then lodging off to
hide behind post or barricade. His
general office has been to make things
lively, to goad on the animals until they
were willing to show their tricks, and
TO give the newspapers reading public
something which would interest and
amuse them, while all the time he him
self has been the center of the scene.
The most unanswerable criticism
which is made on life is that it Is mo-
notonous, and efforts of the kind Mr..
INGALLS, has made are not to be thought
lightly of. or go without encouragement.
On the other hand, men who play such
parts are not usually of the highest
grade, and it is somewhat surprising
that one of Mr.. INGALLS, unquestioned
ability should have been willing to as
sumo the role which the drunken RID
DLEBERGER had filled during the last
years of his public career. There is no
permanent place in history for men of
this kind, because they do not associate
their names with measures or achieve
ments of Importance. Mr.. INGALLS, has
devoted his attention to bile and scott
ing. and the seat of the bilious and the
scornful is one which early goes to
decay.

HIS BODY FOUND.
The Mysterious Disappearance OF
b. III. Campbell Solved.

b. III. Campbell Solved.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-About two months
ago the Hon. B. II. Campbell. ex:United
States marshal for this district, while
suffering with an attack of pneumonia,
left his house in the night and
mysteriously disappeared. Ever
known means was employed to get
trace OF his whereabouts. but in vain,
until this morning, when his body was
discovered in the river, near Rush
street. AS soon as the body was recov-
cred from the river, G. N. Underwood, "a
former employee of MIR. Campbell, was
sent for, and, on his arrival, at once rec
ognized the body as that of the dead
millionaire. He also recognized
the dressing gown which the deceased
wore when he left the house, and two
rings worn Oh one of the fingerS-one
gold band, the other red seal ring.
The dead mans son, B. II. Campbell
Jr., was also sent for and fully con-
frmed the Identification. 1t was on the
night of November % that Mr..
Campbell disappeared. The lake
was dragged for his body; house
toulouse search was made for
news of him; kilograms were sent to all
parts of the country, and reward was
offered for intelligence of him, but with
out avail. The inquest will be held
this afternoon. B. Ii. Campbell Jr.
says he is convinced that his father
wandered away while suffering tenn
porary mental alteration and fell into
the river. He is decidedly positive that
it is not case of suicide.

LET US WAIT.

What is the sense of the worlds fair
at Chicago in 1893 with the MCKINLEY
bill and the force bill on the statute
books
The MCKINLEY bill cries out to ali
the world: Keep away from us. You
are our enemies"
The force bill brands this legend on
every hillside and valley in our fair
land: 1.-The civil war is still raging.
Arm brother against brother"
If a worlds fair means anything at
all. it means that there is peace on earth
and good will among men.
If we are at war with all the world
and among ourselves we have no right
to bid the hosts of the earth to jubilee.
What have we to celebrate or be glad
over if our national safety demands
that wall shall be built around our
borders to shut out our foes from
abroad, and that Gordon of soldiers
with drawn bayonets shall stand at
every polling place lest wrong be done ?
Ii these things are needed, let US
withdraw the greetings we have given
against 1898 and substitute the garb of
mourning for the flag of victory. If the
force bill is enacted, let US have no
worlds fair.
The North and the South alike are in
tereSted in this matter, and are putting
themselves ON record in no uncertain
way. There will be no state appropria-
ton in New Jersey, in Illinois or in Ne
braska, if the federal government adj
heres to it's determination to interfere
with the freedom of the ballot. The
dominant powers in the Empire state
say that it will not be represented at a
banquet whose merrymaking will be a
lie and whose p&ans of triumph will be
only cover for hypocrisy.
The GLOBE calls on the Minnesota
legislature to put this commonwealth in
line with it's sisters who are standing
together against tyranny'S advance and
the dedication of hatred. Let no appro
priation be made for the worlds fair
until the force bill is killed forever.
Let us not waste our substance in pre-
pairing for pageant to which our
friends in foreign lands are not invited
and from which our neighbors will be
absent. Let us not be in haste to ac-
cept summons to a lonesome scene OF
sorrow. Let us wait and see who else
will be there.
The force bill must be defeated. The
whole country has declared in loudest
notes that it will have none of it. The
force bill means revolution. 1t the Re
publican party will not heed the peace
full disapprovaI of the nation as ex-
pressed at the polls. let every device
and engine be firmly planted to save us
from this scheme. Let every organized
body in the land declare its adherence
of the measure. Let CUsHN1AN K. DA-
Wis and WILLIAM d. WAsHBURN I'M
derstand that personal obloquy and the
excavations of an outraged people await
them at their homes if their votes and
voices shall be counted in support of
this scheme of iniquity and despotism.
The GLOBE asks the legislature to
postpone the consideration of Mime
sota's relations to the worlds fair unit
we know what is to become of the force
