Russell Sage sued for 100000.

Preliminary steps have been taken at
New York by w K. Laidlaw, a brokers'
clerk for 100000 damages in suit
against Russell Sage for using him as a
shield to save himself when Norcross eX-

The suit will be based upon the allegation
that Sage deliberately held Laidlaw be-

saved at the expense of terrible injuries to
Laidlaw. Mr.. Laidlaw is still an inmate

An Ilmhr,o Nynr in Me.Ieo.

The Mexican government has serious
trouble on its hands on its northern Dor
der, and it may take good deal of fight
ing to settle it. The story is this: Two
men, Catarino Cara, crank and deS-
perado, and Ruiz Sandival, his father-in-
law, have started revolution against the
administration of President DiaZ along
the Texas frontier. Daz'> idea of Cara
may be judged from his offer of S3O,OOO for
his capture, dead or alive. Cara printed
a newspaper in Spanish up to the time he
embarked i'm his present undertaking to
overthrow the Mexican government. The
bills were paid 10y his father-in-law, who
hates Diaz worse than does Cara. San
dival was long soldier in the Mexican
army. For Seditous utteranceS he was eN-
lied from Mexico under penalty of death
should he return. The revoutionists have
been gradually gathering forces for some
months, lodging hither and thither. Now,
as matters stand, Sandval is in the MeXi-
can mountains with 2O00 well-armed men,
and CARA has an equally large force scat
tered along the frontier. The United
States troops and the Texas rangers have
been forced to take an active part for the
reason that the revolutionists cross the Rio
Grande and camp on Texas territory. The
trouble will be checked in the end surely
enough but what with drought and threat
ened famine in some parts of the country,
and fighting and eloquent sedition talk
elsewhere. the bonfire that has been kim
died is not an easy one to quench.

BRAINS AND CHARACTER.

WALTER Q. GRESHAM is a man of
considerable force of character. although
OF somewhat erratic temperament. He
has the mind of al advocate rather than
of judge, and has at times been SUBJ
jected to some criticism for his bearing
on the bench. No one. however, has
ever questioned his courage, his patriot
ism, his high Intelligence, and his polit-
zeal wisdom. Four years ago he was
Minnesota's choice for the Republican
presidential nomination, and ever since
his term in the cabinet he has been the
idol of the best element of his party.
WAYNE MACVEAGH is man of still
better mold. He has luminous intel
lect, and is leader of the Pennsylvania
bar, position which speaks much for
his attainments and abilities. He has
received many hororS at his party's
hands, without self seeking on his part,
and in every instance has proved equal
to the responsibilities entrusted to him.
One who, like him, has fought his way
by merit only to the attorney general
ship of the United States. and has
passed lifetime in public and private

similar method were employed to slim
ulate business in Western towns. the
chief business it would stimulate would
be rioting. People would not submit to
it. But when applied in the nation at
large, it is eulogized as the basis of all
our Industrial prosperity.
In another point, too. Mr.. MCGILL'S
parallel is not wholly exact. Suppose,
instead Ofrelying on volunteers, bonuses
for the announcement of private enter
prises were raised in Minneapolis by
taxation, and suppose these bonuses
: thus secured were handed over to the
proprietOrs, not of Minneapolis con-
Germs, but of st. Paul or Chicago con-
Germs. If all this were done, then we
should have perfect illustration of
how prote ctionism operates. Ittaxes the
farmers of the West to get together
means for subsidizlng Eastern capital
lists. Ii Minnesota legislature, even
had we constitution permitting such
a thing, should provide for the levying
of an assessment in one town of our
state to be used to enrich the inhabit-
ants of another, and an attempt should
be made to enforce it, we should not
have a riot in our midst; we should
have civil war. Yet this is just what
protectioniSm aims to do. and is doing.
1t takes its wealth from one section of
the country and gives it to another
section. And the very section which
bears the burden is the most enthusi-
astic in its support.
With these explanations and addi-
tionS, Mr.. MCGILL's illustration was
very pat. 1t is to be hoped that some
of his hearers we're acute enough to see
its full significance.

DEPARTMENT ESTIMATES.
Secretary Rusk's the Only One in
Sight,

WASHINGTON. Oct S.-The depart
ment estimates of expenditures of gov
crnment for the next fiscal year. ending
June so, 1898. under the law should have
been in the hands of the secretary of the
treasury, who is charged with their
transmission to congress, on the 1st inst,
but they have not yet made their ap-
pearance. AS matter of fact, they do
not generally reach the treasury much
before the date of meeting of congress.
Secretary Rusk, of the department
of agriculture, has practically CON-
pleted his estimates, and they
only need revision 10 make them
ready for the secretary OF the
treasury. He says they did not vary
materially from the appropriations
made by congress for the coming year,
total of about S3,000.000. Some slight
additions will be recommended il: order
to carry Oh the work made necessary by
the extension of the scope and purpose
of the department.
AS to the operations of the current
year, which will include nine months of
the last year of the present admins
trative term, Secretary Foster calcu-
lated that the treasury will show a bal
ance of Sl0,000,000 on the 30th of June,
1898. The financial statement for Sep
TENDER shows that the cholera scare had
not appreciably affected customs re-
ceipts, so that in all probability the es-
Inmates of revenue made last year would
be fully borne out by the facts.
