The State worlds fair commission
ers announce that they will need
100000 in addition to the $50, 900 leg
islative appropriation, to make any
exhibit worthe af the state. That is
little enough, and the peoples con-
Yention on Aug. Is should promptly
endorse the figures and consent to as
much more as they can.-MinReapoLis
Journal.
The Journal is correct when it says
that the additional sum of 800, 900 is
little enough with which to make a
worthy astate exhibit at the Worlds
fairs. But the convention will have
to do something more than to
promptly indorse the figures" If
the money is raised it will need to
show up in some other form than
mere Endorsement

THE Farmers Alliance is going in
to the trust business a little them
selves, it seems, they having sent out
a circular urging farmers to hold their
wheat off the market until they get
their price, the circular intimating
that the crop throughout the world
is so nearly on an equality with the
demand, that a short season OF such
reservation will force prices up.

SINCE it is a well established fact
that the American principle of pro-
lection will be the object of the Dem
ocratic onslaught in 1892, it were time
our protection bureaus of information
were laying the doctrine before the
young men of the nation in sound
and meritorious light. All that is
necessary to permanently establish
this undying principle in the hearts
of Americans is to have its inherent
value logically presented to those not
already irredeemably biased. Many
thousand young men will cast their
first vote in '92. and more yet will cast
their first vote for matters of nation
al concern, and it is a duty, almost
sacred in its nature, that these unan-
chored minds be given an opportunity
to become schcoled in sound Ameri-
can policy. The enemy keep up a
constant fusilade of their plausible
British-born objections to this whole
some doctrine, but all the intelligent
young minds of the country need to
start them Alright is to study protec-
ton on an equal basis with the Cob
den club opposition.

THE FRENCH TARIFF.

The French Chamber of Deputies
has passed Mckinley bill by the en-
phatic majority of 387 to 10. The
free traders did theirabe to defeat
the measure; England threatened re-
taliation, not only in the newspapers
but in Parliament, and the New York
Eyening Post threw its weighty edito-
rials, like the sword of Brennus, into
the scale Of free trade. But all in
vain. The French thought they I'M
derstood French interests better than
did the English or the Anglo New
York EUening Post. The adopted a
tariff which, in the opinion of English
manufacturers, is largely prohibitory
of foreign trade
And yet no one will pretend that
the industries of France are in their
infancy. They are venerable, even as
compared with British manufactures,
and, if ever established, they are es-
tablished now. But the French, who
are among the shrewdest people on
earth. recognize that protection is not
a matter only of fostering industries
to the point of vigorous existence, but
that it is needed also to keep them
profitable. They recognize that, with
a great nation, no market can be
more important than it's own, and
that protection stimulates and
a nation in reaching out
for the markets of the world.

THE real utility part of the Farm

attach to the new party tenets. The
Alliance is a class organization, and
whatever was done through its instru-
mentality to ameliorate the farmers
condition in business sense, cannot
be preserved in the Peoples party,

The Elsmore Countr Seat MAR.

MOUNTAIN HOME, Ida, Jan. 13.-TSpecial
telegram to THE HERALD. The county
seat contest came TO a facus in Elsmore
county yesterday. The new board of com
missioners obeyed the spirit of Judge
Stockslager's order that Mount Home be
recognized as the county seat by meeting
here and organizing. Samuel B. Blackwell
was elected chairman. All the new
officers qualified before the new board
except the treasurer and one commissioner,
who will arrive and be sworn in
o-day. The old officers, who still hold the
county records at Rocky Bar, have only
seven days left in which to comply with
the mandate of the court and deliver over
the records to their successors at Noun
tain Home. Commissioner Stockton, of
the old board, who has heretofore opposed
this place, is here doing what he can to
have the records delivered over, but Mr..

been heard from. 1t is reported that all
the old officers viii be in linein a few days.

The Pacific Railroad Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Frye's
committee on Pacific railroads was called
together to-day in order to hear further
arguments on the bill already reported from
the committee to secure the repayment of
the government Indebtedness of the Union
and Central Pacific railroad companies.
The Union Pacific railroad company was
represented by jeremiah Wilson, who said,
IN substance, that as result of the recent
reorganization the company's management
now found itself unable to accept the terms
formerly agreed to by ii and embodied in
the bill reported. The financial coodition
and future prospects of the Union Pacific
would not warrant it IN obligating itself to
meet such heavy payments as were pro-
posed.
Wilson concluded with statement that
the company would accept a proposition to
refund It's debt at y per cent interest pay
ment to be based upon a term of one
hundred years, instead OF 3 per cent and
fifty years, as proposed in the bill
The Central Pacific railroad company
was represented by President Huntington.
He said inasmuch as the Central Pacifics
earnings and prospects were below those
of the Union Pacific, if better terms were
granted that road, the Central Pacific debt
(fixed in the bill, for one hundred years and
2 per cent. INTEREST,", should be favored in
G corresponding degree by a further reduc-
Zion of interest and ar extension of time.
# this was done, he would be willing to
apply part of the earnings of the South
2rn Pacific railroad to the repayment of the
nebt of the Central Pacific.

Raising Rates from Wood River.

BELLEVUE, Idaho, Jan. Especial tel
egram to The HERALD. u Mine owners on
Wood river are dumbfounded because of
the raise on ore rates announced by the
Union Pacific railway. The rate hereto.
fore mas been Sl2.40 from Wood river to
the Missouri river. The new rate an
nounced to-day is Sl7 per ton on all con-
centrates going over 40 per cent in lead.
All ore on Wood river comes under that
class. The raise of 10 per cent. is more
than the mines can stand, as the mining
industry is already at the lowest ebb. This
last blow is disastrous and viii drive cap
ital out that was ready to invest In early
days the railroad charged $50 ton and
paralyzed the industry. The railroad
sought to retrieve lost ground and reduced
the rate to S12.40. We were just begin
ming to recuperate when the screws were
turned on almost as hard as ever The
Ketchum, HALEY and Bellevue boards of
trade will unite in petitioning the company
to reconsider the action that must have
been hasty and ill-advised, if the real stu
ation.of affairs of the mines on Wood
river had been thoroughly comprehended.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.--After the morn
ing business the House took up the appro-
priation bill, the shipping bill not having
been called up.
The House disagreed to the Senate
amendments to the bill to provide an ad-
ditional justice for the Arizona supreme
court. The House then went into commit
tee of the whole on the army appropriation
bill. BANDS amendment providing that
no salary shall be paid by the United
States TO military officers detailed to mill
rary colleges or state institutions was de-
feated SIS to 10. Bland raised the point of
no quorum. A quorum was counted by
Dingley in the chair, only 100 votes being
necessary in committee Of the whole.
An amendment by Williams, of Ohio, to
prohibit the drawing of pay by an officer
on the retired list while in receipt of any
other salary from the government was
adopted After long debate which took
a wide range, during which Lodge, of
Massachusetts, paid mis- respects to Stone,
of Missouri, and without completing the
reading of the bill, the committee rose. The
report of the ballot box committee was
ordered printed Adjourned.
Representative Mckinley, from the com
mittee on ways and means, to-day reported
to the House a bill providing that the com
mercial reciprocity treaty with Hawaii
shall not be impaired by the tariff act of

county, was agreed upon for speaker At
II o'clock to-day the organization of the
legislature began.
In the senate the senators-elect were
sworn in and an adjournment until Z

In the house after few members were
sworn in, j. b. Coons, of Miami county,

and was ''rattled' at every motion. The
house then adjourned until O'Clock
The lower house reconvened this after
noon, and succeeded in electing the officers
nominated in the Alliance caucus last night.
The division which prevails in the Alliance
ranks is said by politicians to look very
bad. The hopes Of Ingalls, friends are that
competition among the Alliance aspirants
for his seat would create division which
might result in his reelection. The execu-

General Niles Policy.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY. Jan. 13.-Contrary
to expectation, there was no conference be
tween the chiefs of the hostiles and General
Miles. The latter says the Indians are still
timid and apprehensive of punishment and
he proposes to allow couple of days to
elapse before attempting to bring negotia-
tons to close. Thus far the disposition
he has shown to treat the Indians kindly
has made for him many warm friends
among them. This fact, coupled with the
pains which Captain Pierce, the new agent.
is taking TO show the Indians that every
thing they are entitled to under the treaty
will be issued to them, viii undoubtedly

The Social Question Encycliea,.

ROME, Jan. 13.-The Tribune says: The
Pope has submitted the proofs of his
encyclycal on the social question to several
eminent European saYants. This journal
says the papal advisers are still discussing
the advisability of the Vatican advocating
state Intervention in the disputes between
capital and labor. 1t is alleged the English
clergy advocate such intervention while
the French are against it.
The Pope has appointed commission to
study the religious situation in the South
American republics with a view to re-
organizing the episcopates on syste N
similar to that prevailing in Brazil which
is based on common law and religious
liberty. Above everything the Pope wishes
the clergy to be in line with both the politi-
cal and social institutions OF their respective
countries
Won Schulozer, the representative of
Prussia at the Vatican, in an audience
with the Pope announced that while Ger
many is unable to accede to the return of
the Jesuits all other religious bodies are
free to return.
