No Man, He Says Could Have Won for the
Republicans.
DETROIT, Nov 14-President Palmer, of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, was
asked to take hand at explaining the de-
3No man." he said, "could have carried the
Republican party to success. Neither Mr..
Blaine with his brilliancy and magnetism,
Mr.. Reed with his great parliamentary repu-
tation, nor Mr.. Mckinley with his record
as protector of American industries could
have made up for the absence of great
moral or sentimental issue in the cam
paign." The issue that would have given
the campaign the proper moral motive
was, he said, the "force" bill
Talks With Southern Men.
He continued: 81 have talked with
southern men and they concede that the
methods of election in that section, which
in their opinion are a necessity, are having
debasing and a debauching effect on the
minds of their people, particularly the
young. They fear that when the necessity
for thus protecting themselves against
black domination has passed and when
they desire pure elections it will be too late,
and what has always been considered the
palladium of our liberties, the ballot box,
to use the politicians phrase, will be in
ruins beyond repair"
Calls 1t "Epigrammatic Rot"
Referring to the statement of Speaker
Reed that the cause was -organized blum
DER" Palmer said that if he didn't like
Reed so well he would call it epigrammatic
rot. "What man." said he, could have
polled so large a vote? Was it Mr.. Blaine,
who in the heyday of Republican success
went down before Grover Cleveland, at
that time a man comparatively unknown
and untried in national affairs? Was it
Mr.. Mckinley, to whom all seem to at
tribute the present defeat, No, no. 1t is
all nonsense to say that any man could have
won so large or larger vote. Mr.. Harri-
son went down in the recession of the tide
by which hereafter the history of the Re-
publican party will be marked when it has
no moral or sentimental issue to present

HOW THAT PLANK GOT m.
The Free Trade" Clause in the Demo

The "Free Trade" Clause in the Demo
cratic Platform.
A gentleman who is opposed TO an extra
session of congress says this is the way the
strong anti-tariff plank got into-the Demo
cratic platform: The indications, as stated
during the convention, were that the anti
Cleveland men were working for time
They wanted to postpone vote
The session of the resolutions
committee had been drawn out to as great
length as possible by anti-Cleveland men
on the committee, one of whom was Larry
Neal, coached from the outside by Senator
Brice. When peremptory demand for
report from the committee was imminent
in the convention Senator Brice sent in
word to Neal that the fight would have to
be transferred to the floor of the conven-
ton.
Whitney Sent the Word Around.
Meals terse and radical free trade plank
was, therefore, designed solely to precipi-
tate wrangle in the convention and delay
the taking of a ballot. That it did not do so
was due to the prompt action of ex-Secre-
tary Whitney. Standing on the stage he
was informed by a lieutenant of the pur-
pose of the anti-Cleveland men to delay
dCJ!Ol DN OlSCuSSlOn on the tarlff.
He knew that Cleveland was then
stronger in the convention than he ever
would be again. 1t was already late.
LET them have their plank Tell our
people not to waste time opposing it," he
said to his staff officer The word wat
promptly passed along the delegations and
Whitney's forces FASTENED the ballot by
adopting his opponents resolutions, giving
them a seeming victory, but defeating their
real purpose.
Will Not Forestau the Democrats.
The report that President Harrison would
make it more embarrassing for Cleveland,
when the division of the spoils came round
by applying the civil service law to a large
| number of positions seems to be false. The
president does not desire to lay the admin
istration open to the charge of arbitrarily
depriving the incoming administration of
patronage in spirit of vindictiveness or
| retaliation. Consequently he will extend
the classified service only to the degree
| which he has determined upon in case he
was reelected This decision it is said.
will not affect more than half dozen posi-
| tions in each department. 1t is stated that
the president does not desire TO take the
government printing Office into the classi-
fed service, as urged TO do The bureau of
engraving and printing is virtually within
its list now.

ROME AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
An Important Meeting of Prelates as
New York.

New York.
NEW YORK, Nov 4-On Wednesday
the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical council
of the United States, composed of all the
archbishops and Cardinal Gibbons, with Q
delegate from Rome to represent the pope.
will meet in the archbishop's mansion in
Gne rear of St. Patrick's cathedral, and the
matter that will be most discussed is q
proposal to have a new kind of public
school in America-an assisted" school.
These schools are intended for those chill
dren of Roman Catholic parents who do
not or cannot attend Roman Catholic par
ochial schools. This topic is selected for
thetcouncil by the pope
Some Phases of Discussion.
OF the children referred 10 above there
are in this country 1,250, 600 In discussing
this state of affairs will come up questions
of the multiplication of Catholic schools,
the extent to which state aid can be asked
and a general review of the Fairbault sys-
tenn. Can the church give the state the
appointment of teachersi" will be another
phase of the discussion. 1t is probable that
the last interrogative will ultimately be
answered in the negative with a possible
concession in favor of granting to the state
the right to test the competency of tho
teachers Next will arise discussion Of
text books to be used with the probable
exclusion of those alleged to be bigoted in
character. A serious question which will
confront the council will be the removal of
crucifxes and other religious emblems
from the school rooms. Members of the
council hold extremely opposite views On
this matter, and Archbishops Ireland,
Williams and Riordan will undoubtedly
express their opinions freely ON this sub
ject.
What Will Be Agreed To.
Whatever line the discussion may take it
is safe to predict the following general re-
suit: First, autonomy of the denomina-
tional schools-that is, the right to choose
their own teachers, but only among those
who have qualified before a state or mixed
board; second, the doors of the school room
to be always open, both to ecclesiastical and
secular inspectors; third, the right to exam
inc the schools in secular branches to belong
to state or municipal officials, in religious
matters to ecclesiastical authorities; fourth,
programmes and text books to be agreed
upon anicably.
And Here's the Important Matter.
Fifth-The civil power to support the
! schools and pay the teachers, or at least, to
contribute for the purpose an amount cor
responding to school tax paid by the
parents of the pupils. Only ON these con-
ditions will be archbishops entertain a pro-
position to accept state aid. They will
| simply ask so much per capita allowance
| for the children in the state assisted schools,
and in return will concede the right of tho
state to examine the pupils and teachers in
secular branches and will pay for in
struction given in purely secular directions
! Archbishops Feehan, katzer and Ireland
will be the principal speakers on this
theme.

w. Palmer on the Upheaval-Election
and Political Notes.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE suggestion
that congress pass law authorizing the
appointment of a commission to prepare a
revision of the tariff is not new one. 1t
Is made in answer to the demand that
President-elect Cleveland shall call special
session of congress as soon as he enters upon
the discharge of the duties of his office, q
demand which meets almost as much-if
not more-opposition as it does favor among
Democrats. The commission idea, it is
thought by its proposers, will likely receive
more general favor, for the reason that it
provides way by which no delay shall en-
sue in the matter of tariff reform, while at
the same time avoiding all the objections
that may be raised to an extra session. The
plan described is to have the commission
appointed as soon as President Cleveland
goes into Office, so that it may work on a
revision that shall be ready for considera-
tion by congress when it meets in Decem-
Der. The work is to be done by experts
and disinterested agents of tine govern

That Mining Congress.

The mining congress, at Deadwood.
last week, in anticipation of which 30
much was written and said, is thing OF
the past, and it Is probable that no
other meeting with the same object in
view will be called for some time TO
come. While no changes in the mining
laws OF the state were decided upon, or
even so much as talked of at the meet
ing, one very desirable end was attained,
and that was an expression ofthe wishes
OF bona fide miners and prospectors Of
the Hills. Two hundred and fifty rep
reseataiive men who are vitality inter.
ested in all hat pertains to the mining
industry Of the Hills, were present, and
1t was almost the unanimous wish that
the present laws should not be tampered
with. The advisability Of making cer-
tain changes has been urged in all parts
OF the Hills for some time. and the
meeting OF the miners al Deadwoad the
expression OF their sentiments on the
subject. was a good idea, and it will
have quieting effect. The convention
was we'll advertised, and all who felt
interested were at liberty to attend.
The miners themselves have spoken,
aud their wishes in this matter should
be regarded by the lawmakers Of the
state. Until another body Of citizens,
equally as representative and interested
as that which gathered in the Northern
Hills last week, shall ask that the laws
be revised and changed, they should be
allowed TO remain as they now are.
The SUN total Of the business transacted
by the convention, was the adoption of
the following resolutions

RE-sUBMIssIoN PROSPECTS.

The following conflicting opinions
expressed 10y two prominent South Da.
kota men, as to the chances for the
passage of a re-snbmission bill by the
neat legislature, were published in the
Sioux City Journal Of a recent issue:
Capt. w. V. Lucas. of Hot Springs,
congressman-elect from south Dakota,
was at the Booge last evening. Con-
cerning re submission in South Dakota
he said: II believe that the question OF
re-submtting the clause in the constitu-
ton relative to the prohibition Of the
liquor truffic viii carry in tine next iegis-
lature. Whether or not the people will
vote 10 drop the clause from the consti-
tuition is quite another story. am in
clined 10 think that vote on the ques-
ton would be very close In the Black
Hills district the vote would be almost
unanimous in favor of a repeal. There
has been some talk of what law the
state should have in case prohibition is
repudiated by the people. Local option
has hardly entered into their consider.
alton The general sentiment seems to
be in favor of about such a license law
rs they have in Nebraska. Such a law
would insure so much to the state from
every saloon and would permit every
city and town to fix its own license. If
they want prohibition they can put the
license high enough TO make it prohibi-
tive"
Col. Laird, Of Pierre, does not agree
with Capt. Lucas on the question of re-
submission. said: IL think that
the re-submissionists have a fighting
chance In the legI5Iature. III the ques-
ton goes before the people the re-sub-
missionists will triumph. There is not
a hamlet in the state where the present
prohibitory law is not being violated.
Laws that cannot be enforced should be
repealed. do not know what the feel.
ing of the people is as to what kind Of
law we should have in case the question
Of re-submission should carry. Any
law that will regulate the traffic and lift
il up would be better than that now on
the statute books relating to prohibi-
tion.,'

The Deadwood Daily Times and the

war against each other these days. In
a recent issue of the Times, the editor
referred rather slighlingly to some of
the institutions of Rapid, and promised
to write history of the town for the
benefit of its readers. The Journal
