TARIFF REFORM ABROAD

Credit is claimed as due the reciproc-
lty policy for the more favorable pro-
visions of the commercial treaty being
negotiated with France. One, how
ever. will look long to find where the
reciprocity comes in. Under the Nc
KINLEY tariff the retaliatory feature
applies only to sugar, coffee. tea and
hides. which are all on the free list.
France does not ship any Of these to the
United States, consequently the threat
to impose duties on them can have no
concern for that country. In portions
of France the production of provisions
and DreadStuffs has fallen short of the
usual supply. A demand from the
consumers has arisen that easier access
be had to the abundant supplies in this
country. The people need importations,
andthe government responds to the local
demand by giving the United States
the lower rates it gives to the
other nations with which it has
favorable commercial relations. This
is not due to the opportunities Of
the representatives of this country, but
to the necessities OF the consumers. No
doubt other considerations have had
their Influence. The government has
not been unobservant of the movement
for more liberal commercial relations
between Germany, Austria and Italy.
They have extended these trade rela-
tons to the United States, and France
has no desire to be isolated from
the world commercially. 1t has
followed the example of these other
nations in making terms with the
United States. 1t has, however,
been a oDe-sided affair as far as
this country is concerned. France has
not sought advice as to the duties it
should exact of its people on the corn,
wheat and pork they should have need
to obtain abroad. The Washington ad-
ministration has nothing it can offer in
the way of reciprocity. 1t is bound by
the provisions of the MCKINLEY act.
and that offers no freedom to any Of the
articles France has to present. That
country is cautiously falling in with all
the European nations. except Russia,
which has no popular voice. in the cur
rent of freer traffic. The great reaction
in this country against the iniquitv Of
the MCKINLEY system has swept over
the world, and the chief nations OF the
continent have been led to modify some
OF the provisions of their narrow and
illiberal policies. The spirit of CONNER
cial brotherhood is making its way. A
better era is arising. and 1t becomes the
United States to shake off its provincial
smallneSs and come to the front of the
progressive movement.

NEW BOOKS.

The testimony of an eyewitness is al
ways the most satisfactory account of
an event. Through no other medium is
all impression of such Photographic
realism conveyed as by the stories of
the people who saw the French revolu-
ton and suffered in it. The journal of
the Duchesse de DuraS, that sanity
and brilliant woman whose fate it was
to die by the guillotlne, is an intensely
interesting story of prison life. The
translation, by Mrs. NJ. Carey, is in
clear. well chosen English, and helps to
make the book very desirable one.
The illustrations of SIN Biseayne Bay"
are all Photographic. a somewhat novel
feature. The book throughout is typo
graphically admirable. The story is
quite evidently fact for the most part.
and is bright account of a yachting
trip in Southern seas. with pretty little
love story woven in. In "BiScayne
Bay" is very readable book for a leis-
ure afternoon.

STILL IN THE RING.

Minnesota has secured the national
Republican convention. She cannot ex-
pect to furnish the candidate for vice
president, so Gov. Bill Merriam may
just as well take down his lightning
rod.-lnter Lake Tribune.
The st. Paul GLOBE suggests Blaine
and Merriam for the next presidential
ticket. Is the GLOBE working a deep,
dark plot? 1t is time Minnesota was
represented in the presidential selec-
tiOns.-HOward Lake Herald.
The st. Paul GLOBE is having bushels
of fun booming Gov. Merriam as a can
didate for vice president on the Repub-
lican ticket. 1t must be more fun for
the GLOBE than for the governor, as
most of the comments made Oy the diff
ferent papers of the state are not in his
favor.-Litchfield Review.
The St. Paul GLOBE and Chicae O
Tribune, both Democratic, are the only
boomers for Gov. Merriam so far for
vice president, and they propose him
for the Republican ticket, which is GER
tainly kind in them. 1t seems very
much like the Democratic boom for
congress Martin county's Republican
statesman evOked.-Fairmont News.
The vice-presidentiaI boom for Gov.
Merriam doubtless means that some
body wants trading delegation from
Minnesota to the national convention.
There is no more probability of the
vice-presidential candidate being taken
from Minnesota than there was in Win
dOm's receiving the presidential NOM
ination some years ago. - Sherburne
Star News.
That Merriam boom for vice presi-
dent seems to be gathering strength as
il circulatpS AT ChicaDO MANY of tho
leading Republicans express their pref
erence for him for second place on the
ticket with James q. Blaine. Maine
and Minnesota can furnish candidates
for president and vice president for
1892 that will sweep the country.-Still-
water Gazette.
A strong effort is being made to secure
for Gov. Merriam the nomination for
vice president on the national Repub-
llcan ticket. He is regarded as the only
Republican who can carry the state
against Democratic-Alli fusion.
Ii a presidential candidate is taken
from the East, the vice presidency must
come West, and our capable governor
has the essential qualities. Har-
bOrs Iron News.
And now Gov. Merriam is being urged
as Republican candidate for vice pres
ideut; Minnesota is getting quite gay
since the national convention was cap-
tured. Still Northwestern Republican
has a right tn claim that place on the
ticket. and about the only Republican
governor in the older Northwestern
states certainly would have the best
| claim on the office. The more the mat

A NoN-PARTIsAN JUDICIARY

According to the latest advices, Pres.
ldent HARRISON has determined TO pro-
mote the Hon. WILLIAM MITCHELL, of
our supreme court, to the United States
circuit bench. Considerable pressuse is
being employed to turn him from this
purpose, and perhaps these efforts will
avail. Every lawyer in Minnesota knows
and honors Judge MITCHELL, and
dissenting opinion of his is gratifica-
ton TO defeated litigant almost as
great as victory. The president has
displayed the most extraordinary capac-
ity to learn Of men fit for judicial hon.
ors, and it is greatly to his credit that
he appreciates the work of this unob-
trusive gentleman, who has made no bid
for fame except through the quiet dis
charge of his official duties. There is
not the slightest question but that such
an appointment would be received with
unanimous approval. and would
strengthen the administration position
III the minds of all right-thinking men
III this section of the country.
Judge MITCHELL'S elevation would
create vacancy in our own appellate

called on to fill. The place would
rightly belong to Democrat, and Mr..
MERRIAM, whose standard in such
matters is as high as the presidents,
would no doubt follow the course OBJ
served by him on previous occasions,
and endeavOr TO preserve the nom
partisan character Of the states judici-
airy. In our supreme court, as at pres
ent constituted. Ramsey and Hennepin
counties each have already one repre-
sentative, and, if a suitable man is
named by some other section, he would
be preferred, no doubt. to ans one from
either st. Paul or Minneapolis.
This would be quite proper, and the
governor would not be criticised should
he draw Oh the outlying counties. 1t is
not necessary, however, that he should
do so. nor is it necessary that he should
appoint Democrat. A nOn-partisan
Judiciary does not mean a judiciary COM
posed partly of Republicans and partly
OF Democrats, but a Judiciary the mem
berS of which are chosen entirely with
out considering their party affiliations,
but because they are the best equipped
for the positions. What we want OH the
supreme bench of Minnesota are not men
who eat and sleep in one place or an
other, or who voted for HARRISON or
CLEVELAND at the last election, but
men OF profound learning, of force of
character, of industry, and of great per
Sonal honor. Every day the problems
committed to their decision are growing
IN complexity and Importance, and it is
matter of congratulation that our chief
executive understands that a RESPONSE
bllity of the most solemn nature rests on
him in such eXigencIes.

THE farmers CHANCE.

The m0nopollSt manufacturer ay
utilize the legislative power of the
country at times to promote his bust
ness interests. The government may
impose tax upon the wares of com
petitors abroad, and thereby either ex-
clude them or increase their cost to the
consumer to such an extent as to en-
able the local manufacturer to put IN
his prices above what they would other
wise be. If he wishes to sell his articles
abroad he must compete with the manu-
facturerS of other lands and have a
lower scale of prices for this part Of his
sales. This is done in various instances.
The sales to outsiders afford profit, pre-
sumed to be reasonable. or the field
would not be entered. Where there
is room for question that the prices ex-
acted of home consumers are excessive
and unreasonable, should there arise
troublesome home competition, endan-
ering the continuance of the fleeing
process, the next step is for all engaged
in that business 10 pool their interests
and push up prices as far as the suffer-
ing public will endure it, or until the
cost of the highly taxed foreign wares
is Appropriated. But the farmer has
no such opportunity. He can make no
arrangement with the government to
aid him. except, as in the case OF
sugar, he can secure a bounty
from the national treasury. Prac-
tically, however, he has no chance for
the benefaction bestowed upon the
favored manufacturer. His prices are
fixed by the law of supply and demand
in the markets of the world. He must
pay higher pr ices for the wares of the
protected manufacturer by virtue of the
aid afforded the latter by the govern
lnent. If his crops are poor, and the

Nilsson, and both she and her husband
are people of education, but he has
not been able to secure constant en-

And now the question is agitated: Did
Schnaubelt throw the bomb at Russell Sage?
This theory is utterly baseless in view of the
fact that the head of the man who did throw
it has been as thoroughly identified by reIa-
tives OF the man once in possession of the
head as it is possible to identify a corpse so
extremely pulverized. Schnaubelt success
fully evaded the police subsequent to the
