HE MAY MEAN he.

When BLAINE lets out an intimation
that he does not intend to be in the
presidential field next time, it is usually
taken as feeler Of the party DISPOSE
ton and to excite protests. The fact
that it IS now chiefly based upon his
conviction that he cannot be elected if
nominated, is an evidence of its SINGER
ity. He can see no hope, even if the
reciprocity lymph displays more virtue
than it promises TO-. The stupid blum
derlng of the party in congress and in
ability to learn anything from obvious
facts, has no doubt disguised him. He
can see no chance for the party in 1892
to shake off its burdens and recover
itself. Those who do not believe it pos
sible for BLAINE to reject the nomina-
ton, forget that he did it in 1888, when
the party was holding its own, and had
a reasonable prospect Of electing its
candidate. He does not want to be
beaten as bad as HORACE GRE ELEY was.

THE DUTIEs INCREASED.

There are surprises Of ingenuity in
the makeup of the MCKINLEY tariff.
In some cases an indirection or omis-
sion is made to do large and unobtrus-
i've service to some interest. An illus
tration is afforded in the case of clocks.
In the old tariff they were taxed di-
rectiy 50 per cent ad valorem. The new
tariff imposes duties upon watches and
chronometers, but omits clocks entirely.
The assumption might be that they
would come in without duty, but they
are now classified according to the ma
terials ip.them. the outer case being the
chief consideration. The rate differs
as that is made of wood, metal or por-
celain, the several duties being 50, 10
and GO per cent. By the trick of leav-
ing out the mention Of clocks the duty
on them is largely increased. This is
one of the instances of crafty work.

CAN BE FOUND.

Those who are troubled by fear that
the promotion of Gov. HILL to the SEN
ate will take him out of the presidential
field may find few encouraging pre-
cedents. ANDREW JACKSON was in the
senate when he first ran for president
in 1924. In 1881 HENRY CLAY was
elected to the senate, and the next year
made the race for the presidency as the
candidate of his party. BUCHANAN
was in the senate one term. MI. BLAINE
has been there, and even HARRISON
was senator. If Mr.. HILL chooses to
accept the role some Of his friends
would have him. it need not be sup
posed that any eXhumation process will
be requisite. If the Democratic party
is unable to see any man it prefers to
HILL for the next president, it will be
able to find him in the United States

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 81. = Senator
Moody last night released the Repnb-
Hcan caucus from obligations TO him as
its nominee in view of the utter hope
lesSness of his case. His most valiant
sticker, Senator Pettigrew, together
with large number of smaller fry
politicians who have remained here in

the fight. Judge Trip is the favorite
in pool rooms, odds being offered on his
success with scarcely any takers. This
is only one good indication among many
that he will achieve victory finally in
the senatorial contest. Saturday Moody
received n votes, or 8 short of major

he has yet received. To-day, on
the last joint ballot, he only

still four contested Republican seats in
the house to be settled yet, which will
be decided as fast as the fillibusteringof
the Republicans will permit When
these cases are settled finally, and the
contestants seated as justice demands,
the fusloniStS will arrive at some under
standing as to whom they will elect as
Senator MoOdy'S successor. Meanwhile
with one or two exceptions in every
vote taken they stand as unit, and
carry every point against the Repub-

Republicans Dazed by Late Action
on the Elections Bill.

ae WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The senate
net at noon. The journal of Thursday.
covering the proceedings of Thursday,

and approved. Mr.. Eustis. rising to a
personal explanation, read from the

after the vote had been taken"
He said that the statement was wholly

REBELS EVERYWHERE.
Shot and She'll Flying in the
Gillian War.


LONDON, Jan. 27.-Dispatches from
Chill via Buenos Ayres bring further
particulars concerning the revolution
in Chilli. The rebel CHILEAN war YES
sells occupied the roadstead at Porto
Coquim5o, four or five DAYS ago.
The war vessels also fired shots into
the town, probably at the troops defend
ing the coal depots. Troops from Val
paraiSo are occupying La Serena in
force. The Balmaceda troops were
quartered in the hospital and schools
of La Serena, and are supposed to have
been driven out of Porto Coquimbo.
The insurgents have bloekaded Tongoy,
on TOngoy bay, thirty miles from Co.
qufmbo. TongoY is connected by rail
with Tamaya and Ovalle, the latter
town being in turn connected by rail-
road with Coquimbo. Torbarallis is
also announced to be blockaded by the
rebel forces. Three thousand govern
ment troops have been sent to reinforce
the garrison at Tongoy.
Later adYiceS say it is reported bat.
tie has been fought at Tongoy. The
rebels have occupied Limache Alto, a
town twenty-five miles from Valparaiso.
At Limache Alto, the rebel forces took
possession of the national factories and
expelled the director and adherents or
President Balmaeeda from the town.
'fhe rebels have also occupied QulIlata,
in the province of Valparaiso, fifty miles
from Santiago, OH the Aneonagua.
twenty miles from the Pacific. The
property of the foreign residents is suf-
fering considerably from the rebellion,
in spite OF the efforts of the re pre-
sentatives of foreign powers to
protect the interests of the eitl-
Zens of the various countries they rep
resent The action of the diplomatic
representatives has been so discourag-
Ing to those officials that they have for
mally informed the Gillian government
that they will embark on board of the
vessels of the fleets of the foreign pow
efs if the conflict continues. President
Balmaceda. in reply, has asked the
ministers and eonsuls to delay taking
any action for a few days, as he hopes
TO be able to suppress the rebellion
within that time.

A CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR.


Revolutions and wars in the regions
of Central and South America are not
usually OF very wide or exciting inter-
est. They have been regarded as rather
the normal condition. and not important
as regards defamation of population or
political results. There is prospect of
an early renewal of the contest between
Guatemala and Salvador, two neighbor-
ing Central American states. Guate-
mala is the larger of the two and will
be the aggressor. 1t has recently been
buying large quantities Of arms and am
munition in New York, and it is ex-
peeted that in a month or two war will
be renewed with the smaller state. In
the last contest San Salvador won de-
cisive and somewhat surprising sue
cess. 1t whipped the bigger dog
and effected its entire independence.
At the same time it put down an insur-
rection at home. This gave it influence
and prestige, and was something of
humiliation to Guatemala. The latter
has not been in good humor since. 1t
does not appear that San Salvador has
any desire to go to war, and will not
disturb its neighbor, but it is better
equipped for defense than before, and
its people are rather brighter and more
progressive than those of Guatemala.
This country will be glad to supply
arms and munitions to both and help
build up trade, but the smaller one
seems most deserving of sympathy. A
protracted war is unusual, but there is
some probability of the other states be-
coming involved and disturbance had
in commercial relations. The reeiproc-
ity contrivance is moving slowly at
the best. and it is to be regretted that
needless wars should be had to further
delay matters.

ORDER OF BUSINESS.
Plenty of Work Without the Elec-
- tiouS Bill,

- tionS Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Repub-
Hcan senatorial caucus committee on
order of business met this morning and
agreed to recommend to their colleagues
that after the apportionment bill is
acted upon the eight-hour bills and the
copyright bill will be taken up in order.
This arrangement is subject to possible
disturbance by the appropriations COM
mittee, which has already given notice
through Chairman Allison of an inten-
tieu to call up an appropriation bill this
week. The caucus committee also dis
posed of other pending measures Of
public interest in this order: After the
copyright bill is to follow the Indian
depredations bill, the Paddock pure food
bill and the Nicaragua canal bill
reported by the committee Oh foreign
relations. AS the senate will hereafter
meet at II o'clock, instead of noon. as
at present, and the morning business
will be limited to one hour, it is the
expectation of the committee that
rapid progress will be made in the
consideration Of the measures selected
by them. Meanwhile individual sena-
tors are to be allowed to call up meas
ures not included III the above list, in
the. morning hour; aud it is believed
that some advancement of business will
result from the use of this privilege.

BEEF FOR BUCKS.
Report of the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs.

Indian Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs has prepared a
report to the secretary of the interior in
relation to the manner of purchasing
beef ON the hoof for the Indian service.
He also makes a detailed statement of
the efforts made from time to time
to to away with the practice of con-
tracing for large deliveries i'll the
fall. All these efforts have failed, the
commissioner says. ewing to the i'll
sufficient appropriations made by con-
gfeSs. The report shows that in 1884
there was paid for 650r00o pounds of
beef for the Pine Ridge Indians, deI1v-
cred in the fall, S226. $50. Whereas, if
the lowest bid for monthly deliveries
had been accepted, the cost would
have been s406, 250. 1t is also
shown that beef for Pine Ridge
cost this year S109,604 for
free delivery. If the lowest bid foI
monthly deliveries had been accepted
tile cost would have been st99.200. OF
nearly S199,200 more. The difference
holds good in nearly all cases where
monthly deliveries were not accepted.
In several cases the difference, while
considerable. was not deemed excessive,
and monthly deliveries were adopted.
On all eases where beef was purchased
for the consumption of the Northern
tribes, there was a stipulation i'll the
contract that the cattle must have
been at least twelve months in success
sion prior to July /, 1890, north of the
South line of Kansas, and the certificates
of the army officers detailed to inspect
the beef show thai the cattle were fully
up to the requirements OF the contract.
Fac statement that IlfaeeHmated cattle
are delivered. he says. is. therefore. un-
TRUE.

to lay the "force'' bill OH the table.
Mr.. Spinola replied that he would not
do so. being apprehensive that the
force" bill was not yet quite dead.
Until he saw the bill laid in its grave

benedction delivered, ne would not be-
lIeve that the measure was out of the

Southern states to refrain from making

ielared that that refusal was not a bluff;
it was not bluff on the part Of In

state of New York when she thdndered
Out her voice on the question.

Villas ELECTED,
And Wisconsin's Lower House
Passes a Bill Repeating the
Bennett Law.

MADISON, Wis. Jan. 27.-Both houses
of the legislature elected William F.
Villas to succeed John G. Spooner as
United States senator by strict party
vote. The Republican members voted
for Senator Spooner. In the senate the
vote resulted 16 for William f. Villas
and IA for John C. Spoener. The vote
in the assembly was 81 for Villas and 81
for Spooner. Tomorrow the result
will be formally announced at the
joint session of the assembly.
The Democratic majority to-
day, under suspension of rules, passed
the bill repeating the so-called Bennett
law. which was the chief issue in the
last state campaign. after first rejecting
the Republican substitute, which IN
cluded some of the provisions of the old
law, modified to remove some of the OBJ
jectionS of the LutheranS, but still re-
tanning the clause requiring instruction
in the English language. II this bill
passes the senate, as is expected, it will
leave the state without any law govern
ing child labor or compulsory education
until the Democrats can agree on a
measure governing those subjects,
which they have not yet done.

THE LEGISLATURES SPHERE

The LEGISLATURES SPHERE.
Our Senator STEVENS seems perhaps
more completely than any of our repre-
sentatives to have grasped the idea thus
sought to be conveyed. He has pre-
Sented some very valuable amendments
to existing laws, and will no doubt do
further good work in this direction.
He does not seem to have wasted any
time in all the iaWing OIL SMITH and
with SMITH about protests and counter
protests, OF in telling the congress of
the United States what it ought to do
about the Nicarauga canal. the option
bill or the CoNGER lard bill. His mind
is apparently intent on work as COM
pletely as though he were a Democrat.
The GLOBE commends him for it, and
says that he is man worthy of public
confidence.
We would not be understood as crit
cising or speaking unkindly of any one
by this, even by way Of innuendo. The
GLOBE never speaks or thinks harShly Of
any one who is good and intelligent and
industrious. All the st. Paul delega-
ton are good and intelligent and indus
trious. Besides this, several of them
are interesting. and more than one has
personal beauty which would satisfy
the imagination of an ancient Greek.
But seriously, there is foolish waste
of time in turning the senate into de-
batting society on questions which are
none of its business. The Nicaragua
canal scheme is in the hands of compe-
tent men, who are getting $1,000 year
for taekling it, and it is respectfully
submitted that nobody in Minnesota or
elsewhere cares picayune what the S.
a-day men on the corner of Wabasha
and Tenth streets think about it. Sena-
tor SANBoRN would have spent his
Sabbath afternoon much more profita-
bly, in rest, which he must need after
composing his eXhausting charter, than
in settling the affairs of Central Amer
lea
The GLOBE notices that that prin ce
of good fellows, Representative LANE
K. STONE, has given notice that he will
speak on the force bill at some future
date. We hope that he will reconsider
this direful intention, and not do it. If
his speech is as interesting and whole
souled as he is himself, it will be we'll
worth listening to. But what good will
it do? We have four chastened con-
gressmen at Washington who may bring
forth fruit meet for repentance on this
subject there before the season is over.
The GLOBE thinks that these matters
ought to be left to them. They are men
of force, character and ability. even
though they voted for the MCKINLEY
bill. Everybody admires Mr.. SNID Err,
Mr.. CoNIsToCK, Mr.. LIND and Mr.. Dun
NELL, in spite Of their great mistake,
They are as sorry for it as any one, and
can be relied on to do what is right in
the future.
The national interests which concern
this state are quite safe in their keep
ing. This loafing around the throne,
platitudinizing on ancient history and
abstract questions, is not worth while.
Let our senators stop fooling, and play
ball.
