Views on Silver.

The Senator Asked to Define His
Views on Silver.
NEW YORK, March 10.-According to
a Washington dispatch Congressman
Harter has addressed an open letter to
Senator David B, Hill, demanding his
position upon silver, in which he SAYS:
Dear Mr.. Hill: Learning from the
early action of the party in New York
as evidenced by its February conven-
ton that you are a candidate for the
great Office of president, am moved to
ask your views publicly OIL a most i'm
portant question. Under the circum-
stances, believing you will be
glad TO put your views briefly,
clearly, distinctly and unmistak-
ably before the American peo-
pie, ask you whether you favor or OD-
pose the outrageous measure of class
legislation usually called the Bland
bllD which is now pending in the
house and which has the hearty support
of all the Republican bonanza senators,
OF the silver ring, the lobby and of Mr..
Bland, of Missouri, and it is said of a
number of other Democrats.
2 Inc people love q frank, courageous
man, and the opportunity to demon
strate that you are all this is now be-
fore you. Your friends in the house
assure me you are bold, strong, cour-
ageous, and above ALL a straightforward
honest man, and | think | am safe III
saying to the American people who will
read this that at very early
day they will know precisely what are
the views of one of the leading Dem
ocrats of the United States upon a ques-
ton so vital TO every business and every
individual man. l am, dear sir, yours
truly, MICHAEL. ID. HARTER.

THE WEATHER.

The gutfawful greeting which the
Pioneer Press apostrophe to spring re-
ceiyed on all sides yesterday morning
was entirely unjust to the meteorologi-
cal editor of that interesting paper. He
was guilty. perhaps, of little hyper
bole, but hyperbole is venial offense
in CHS day and generation. Everybody
eXaggerateS more OF less without incur
ring popular disfav0r. To be sure, ref
erence TO the baIny air. the mild nights
WhennOthing freezes, the disappearance
of frost from the ground, the little rob-
ms singing in the trees, and allthat sort
of thing seem somewhat untimely in
the midst of clustering blizzard which
shames even the oldest settler into
silence. But a close inspection will
show that the Pioneer Press, even on
this occasion, hedged with commend
able caution 1t says "even II more
snow should fall, which means clearly
enough that it may fall; and again, 1.-THE
idea of cold wave seems incredible"
which expresses no opinion at all about
the ''fact" of a cold wave. We did not
wear our heaviest goloshes yesterday
on account of more snow" 1t was on
account of most SNOW" And we did
not get out our furs again on account of
the idea of cold wave, but on ac-
count of its reality. The Pioneer Press
was accurate as usual. Its meteoro-
logical editor evidently looked for this
extraordinary weather. The only
trouble is that it came rather suddenly.
He reminds the GLOBE Of the young
man who, dying at the age of twenty

Next Tuesday, if he is not too busy
shooting things with his little gun or
I'm watching the election of delegates to
Minneapolis, the president is to instruct
the customs officials to discriminate
against the imports OF sugar, hIaes
coffee and tea from certain countries,
mostly in South America. The prin-
cipaI ones are Venezuela, Hayti, Guate-
mala and Nicaragua. These are not
the largest producers of the articles
named sent 10 this country. but their
aggregates are sufficient to affect the
price of some of them. One of these
countries, for instance. last year sup
piled more than a tenth of the coffee
brought to the United States. The
president has the discretionary power
conferred BY the MCKINLEY act
TO impose specified duties upon the
lmportatioDs named of countries that
do not conform their tariffs to his views.
He indicated some time since that he
would inaugurate this r9taliatory work
on the 18th of March unless the offend
ing elements fastened to change their
tariffs to suit him. 1t was not alleged
that any of them Disseminated against
the United States OF imposed duties as
severe and repreSSiye as those of the
MCKINLEY act. An illustration was
needed to keep in mind that the reel
Drocity attachment had not been quite
lost. So these comparatively unim-
portant states to the south are singled
out, and their products are TO be taxed,
while those of other countries are to
come in free. So far as there
is any effect from the discrimina-
ton it will be in the direc-
ton of higher prices to United
States consumers. The shippers may
find their way in through more circuit
Gus channels or turn their attention to
customers over the water. They have
no unfriendly disposition toward the
United States, and are, perhaps, con-
strained by treaties Of commerce con
tanning the "most favored nation"
clause. and are unable to make eXcep-
tons in favor of this country; or the
revenue may be Indispensable for the
support of the government. Theil cir

the administration. They can be used
10 subserve a political need. But there
was eminent prudence in the selection
of objects of punishment. The Argen-
tine Republic and Uruguay were among
those that have not consented TO
the reciprocity eXactons. and they
have been overlooked in the punitive
essay, They send great proportion of
the hides used by the shoemallers and
leather workers of the East. The i'm
position of the MCKINLEY duties on
these imports would raise their price.
and this would not be prudent for he
president or the party 1t might please
the farmers in the West, but they are
expected to take what they can get and
vote the ticket; but it would not do to
offend the Crispins of the East As the
people come to understand more fully
the use made of the reciprocity dodge
they will see why cunning and duplicity

EASY MARRYING.

The question is raised. and being dis
cussed by the ministers and others who
are interested in the moral phases of
life in Wisconsin, as TO the propriety of
performing the marriage ceremony for
those who come there from Illinois,
Minnesota and other convenient states.
No license is required, and the discre-
ton of the officiating party is about the
only regulating force. 1t appears that
the statements of the young people are
accepted with little hesitation as veri.
table and sufficient. If the male party
ayers that he is over twenty-one it is
not questioned that lie has reference to
the years Of his life and not the figures
in his shoe. 1t is even alleged that
there is an alacrity and eagernesS mani
tested by the clergymen of the chief
matrimonial points, like Milwaukee
and Hudson, that is alluring to
those who for for any reason filid the
way to eonnubial bliss in their own
states thorny and INSTRUCTED. At the
Monday meeting of the ministers aSso-
citation in Milwaukee, a vigorous pro-
test was read from lay moralist. he
insisted that the practice of some of the
clergymen, those that gather in the as
sets of this industry, is doing more to
degrade marriage and mar its sacred
ness than the most liberal divorce
courts. The young are not to be con-
yinced that it is the most sacred of all
relations when clergymen treat the con-
f-na aof-a HI hi MR. h1tc linn &C
transaction, and give it no more thought
than the grocer does to the sale of a
cake of soap. Action was had with a
view to bringing the matter before the
authorities, to secure enforcement of
the present laws and perhaps induce
the legislature to change the statutes.
The fact was developed that there is
wide diversity of opinion among the
clergymen, as we'll as the unprofeS
sional, as to how tar they should go in
this matter. There is no occasion for
any intimatien that the fee induces lib
crafty of view, although one did re-
mark that he found it painful duty to
explain to the candidates that they
came little short of the requirements
of the law, as the next parSon usually
got the job and fee. 1t is not accepted
as fully demonstrated that morality and
the interests of society will be best sub
served by making it more difficult to
enter the married state. No doubt it is
entered upon without proper considera-
ton, often with some sort of an impress
sion that getting out may be equally
easy under the divorce system preya-
lent. But experience is believed to be
favorable to the greater freedom from
restrictions to matrimony. Morality
and public policy are subserved by mar
riage, but there are dangers and evils
in either system. 1t is not, however.
we'll that Wisconsin should afford facil-
tiles for lovers who are unable to marry
under the statutes of their own states.
The laws should make this impossible.
