A PARTISAN FIGHT.
IN Which Democracy Has the Most
XOtSS.

IN Which Democracy Has the Most
NoteS.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The committee on res
olutions agreed upon thirty subjects, lnclud-
ing all manner of encouragement to all wat
erways for transportation; IrrgatiOn; Secre-
tary Rusk's plan for foreign markets for
American meat, ETC., ETC.; but there were
two reports of the committee when partisan
doctrines were reached.
The majority report favors the adoption
by congress of a law authorizing the free,
unlimited coinage of SILVER and the issuance
of a sufficient amount of legal tender notes,
TO be redeemable in both gold and silver, to
restore the equilibrium between money and
all other products; declares the congress to
be unalterably opposed to the protective tar
III principle; faVors a tariff for revenue only,
and urges congress to enact laws to place the
tariff upon purely revenue basis at as early
date rs practicable.
The minority report opposes a tariff for
revenue only, believing that such a tariff
would be levied on tea, coffee, sugar and
other articles which We most largely import
for general use, and recommends that the
government hold fast to the time honored
patriotic American principle that in all tariff
laws should be q moderate protection to
industry, and declares in favor of a fair trial
OF the present law, with reciprocity, and in
favor of a non-partlsGn tariff commission to
inquire into the workings OF labor ana all
with view to the equitable adjustment of
tariff schedules from time to time; the re-
port further fayors the free, unlimited coin
age of American silver as soon as a just ratio
can be established between silver and gold,
which should make the silver dollar and gold
dollar of equal purchasing power in all mar
kets of the world; favors the holding of an
international monetary convention to estab-
llsh such a ratio and secure its adoption by
all commercial nations of the world, but
until such ratio can be established opposes
the unlimited coinage of silver into the pres
ent legal tender dollar, believing that such a
course would drive GOLD out of circulation,
lower the standard values, contract the pres
ent volume of the circulating medium and
seriously cripple our foreign trade.
The free trade resolution was adopted by
a vote of 76 to 49; showing that there were
forty nine republicans voting and that there
were seventy-six democrats against them.
After the vote many of the republicans
withdrew, declaring that they could not con-
sistently remain as members of convention
that had proved itself to be partisan and
democratic.

WAsRISGroE, ID. C., April 1.-THE cor
dependence between Secretary Blaine and
Marquis Di Rudini is published and covers
several columns of closely printed matter.
In it Mr.. Blaine shows Rudini that this
government has not recognized the right to
indemnity as already established, but argues
that such right may or may not exist, accord
ing to facts as they may appear.
Mr.. Blaine says:
The Marquis Rudini may be assured that
the United States would recompense every
Italian subject who might ffbe wronged by a
violation OF treaty" to which the faith of
the United States Is pledged. But this assur-
ance leaves unsettled the important. question
whether the treaty has been violated.
Ihis government supposes that the rights
OF public officer TO reside under the protec-
uon OF the United States government are
quite different from those of subjects who
have come into the country to mingle with
our own citizens and here to pursue their
private business and objects And these pri-
Tate individuals. subjects of foreign power,
have certainly no cause of complaint If they
are protected by the same laws and the same
administration as native born citizens of this
country. They have, in fact, some advan-
tages over citizens of the state in which they
happen to be. inasmuch as they are enabled,
until they become citizens themselves, to
prosecute for any injuries done to their per-
son or property IN the courts of the United
states or the state courts, at their election.
Inc widows and children of the citizens
who lost their lives by mob violence may sue
the leaders and members of the mob only in
the courts of the state OF Louisiana, while
the widows and children of the Italian sub
jects VINO suffered death, have a right to sue
each member of the mob, not only in the
state courts, but also before the federal tri-
bunals for the district of louisiana
The United States cannot by the treaty
with Italy become the insurer of the lives OF
property of Italian subjects resident within
our territory. No government is able, how
ever high it's civilization, however yigilant
its police supervision, however severe its
criminal code, and however prompt and in
flexible its criminal administration, to secure
its own citizens against violence promoted
BY individual malace or by sudden popular
tumult. The foreign resident must be con-
tent in such case to share the same redress
that is offered by the law to the citizen.

A Leader of the Malta Mob Talks
on Immigration

on
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 2O.-Colonel John
c. Wicklife, of New Orleans, who was one
of the leaders of the m OBJ at the Malta lynch
ing, spoke on "Control of immigration"
He said that the time had come when the
criminals of the old world should learn that
this was not their country, and he hoped that
there would come a time when from the
great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, when not
one pauper or criminal from the old world
was allowed to set his foot upon that land.
He thought that there was room for every
honest foreigner, but that there was no room
for any other class. He spoke of the Malta
lynching as a terrible object lesson on indis-
crimiuate immigration.
He said that any foreigner who had not
declared his intention of becoming an Amer
lean citizen should not be allowed to land on
our shores and should be sent back to the
country which had sent him. He favored
the most stringent laws restricting immigra-
ton. ''Let no man be allowed to put his
foot on Coiumbia's soil who does not bring
a certificate of sound moral health from the
American consul in his own country" said
the speaker with emphasis.
He then spoke emphatically upon the sub
iect of naturalization and asserted that the
right should be taken from the states and
given to the national government
He said he thought it would not be bad
idea to pay the naturalization officer fee
for every application for naturalization
which he defeated.

Tanning for Cattle Robes

In reference to tanning hides for
robes we have expressed the conviction
that it would be cheaper to send to the
tanner making speciality of this bust
ness than to undertake the work ct
home. But E r. Hardy. of Abing-
don, Ill, breeder of Galloway cattle
and successful tanner Of hides, in re-
lation to the preparation of hides for the
tanner says:
Let the hide remain about twelve
hours after being taken of. Then salt
every square inch of it fully and liber-
ally as if the hide taints in sngle spot
the hair slips from that place. Then
roll up; if you have calf skins or any
animal hides to be tanned roll them up
with it as the freight on them will be
nominal The future robes of America
are to be furnished by the black cattle
of this country. A great demand has
sprung up for them.

TOPEKA, April 17.-George L Sands, Henry
Bennett and George T. Gealley, who were
appointed by Judge Foster a board of ap-
praisers to place a valuation on tho Chicago,
Kansas d Nebraska railroad (Rock Island),
which is to be sold under foreclosure of mort
gage on April %. filed their report with Hiram
Z. Dillon, master in chancery. They appraise
the property at SIS, 232, 600. This includes
the entire Rock Island system west of the
Missouri river-about l, 500 miles altogether.
The appraisement will not cover all the
claims against the road, as these amount to
over $26, 900, 900. The property will be sold
by Mr.. Dillon on the 18th at the government
building In this city. 1t will be bought in
means practically that the Rock Island rail-
road will purchase it.
The municipal stockholders who have been
fighting the foreclosure on the ground that
it is a scheme to freeze them out, have ap-
pealed to the United States supreme court,
but this will not stay the sale on the 18th.

ward the money, saying that the fund should

which is 1851 per cent white and 63.3 per cent

that the money belongs to the state and that
the UniSea States government has No right
to say how it shall be distributed. Nothing
can be done until the next legislature in

stabIe Rates Wanted.

Kansas CITY, No, April 1s.-James Pea
body, of Chicago, read paper before the
commercial congress on railroad pools. He
said it was not SO much low rates that the
shipper wanted as stable rates As tending
to obtain stable rates, he Endorsed the inter
state railway commission What the rail-
roads wanted was not so much great bust
ness as steady business The shipper wanted
equality of treatment at the hands of all the
roads, and the railroads wanted protection
against the dishonesty of competitors. These
we're the objects formerly attempted by the
old pool. They are now being made posi-
bic BY the operations of the commerce com
mission, but even now pools were necessary
TO maintain rates and keep them stable. As
such they were benefit to both the shipper
and the railroad.

ATLANTA, GA, April 1s.-Shortly after
leaving Chattanooga, the president was in
formed of the death of Mrs. Halford, the
wife OF his private secretary. He was shocked
at the news and Immediately sent telegram
of coincidence to Mr.. Halford. In it he said
that If he could follow the full desires of his
heart he would turn back to Washington SO
as to be with him in his hour of sorrow, but
he felt that he (Mr. Halford) would advise
him to continue his trip in view of the pre-
partitions made for it, and the great disap-
pOintment that would result from its aban-
donment. He had, therefore, decided to
continue it according to the plans already
made.

Canadians MvstIfIed.

OTTAWA, ONT., April 2o.-The dispatch
stating that Secretary Foster had announced
the intention of prohibiting the tranEporta-
ton of goods in bond through United States
territory, is considered hero as contradictory
IN itself and requiring explanation in order
to make 1t understood The Canadian min
lister of customs thinks that the secretary o
statement has been imperfectly reported.
Last year the value of goods in transit
shipped from Canada to the United States
was over SIG, 600. 600. Absolute prohibition
of this would be startling announcement.

Italy.
He said that he did not fear political diff

but 1t is q matter of great regret that SO
highly a civilized country as the United
States should not fulfill the duties of justice
and morality. This remark was met with

Governed Too Much,

KANSAS CRY, No, April 18.-In the COM

of Kansas. read a paper on transportation as
Affecting commerce and transportation. He
said that the basis principle of hls argument
was that the government was the best which
governed the least. Applying this principle
to legislation as affecting finance, he said the
government ought to provide as much money
as was necessary to carry on the country
business and leave the question of finance
alone. In like manner the government
ought to keep Its hands off of commerce and
transportation and let them be governed by
natural laws.
