Red Wing Republican,: Goodhue
county now boasts of being the home
of the Oldest printer in the State.
His name is r. f. Cone, and he lives
in Florence, just below Frontenac
village. He was born in 1920 being
consequently 70 years of age, and he
commenced working at his trade when
he was II years old, in 1887. He was
for years connected with the Winona
Republican,, but was compelled to leave
that place on account of i llhealth
and has since lived on farm in the
town of Florence. He is bright and
intelligent, a brilliant conversation
alist and for one of his advanced years
very active.
Winona Republican: Prof. Freeman
of the State Normal School has in
vented an ingenious appliance in the
shape of an inclined plane for deter
mining the law of falling bodies, He
intends shortly to apply for patent

Freeborn Co. Standard: Rev. DR..
Cryor has decided to accept the posi-
tion of financial agent of the College,
and will very soon begin the work of
canvassing. He is the best man who
could have been selected, and we pre-
dict will be successful.
A queer character closed his life at
Albert Lea, Sunday, in the person of
Sanford Tanner, an eccentric miser.
He had gained considerable notoriety
as being the victim ofseveral robber-
les and is said to haye lost some $20,-
900 in this manner. He had been
helpless for several months, but man
aged to feebly travel about looking af-
ter his mortgage collection. He is
supposed to have been worth a great
amount of money, no one really know
ing how much. Probably $50, 600 is on
deposit in his name in the banks of
Austin and this city. No one here
knows anything about his relatives,
but it is reported that some are liv-
ing in the East in the neighborhood
of Poughkeepsie. n. Y.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

Murat Halstead sailed last We'd
nesday on the Majestic for brief
visit to Europe to look after his
younger children, who are at school
in Paris and Berlin.
Judge Holman, concededly one Of
the most interesting figures in Ameri.
can public life, is actually more than
20 years Of age. One of his fayorite
ordinations is: "Oh, my my" An
other is: This will never do; Oh, no,
it will never do" The latter exclama-
tion invariably gives log-rollers a
spasm of pain.
The total obligations incurred on
account of these Gillian war prepare
tions may be roughly stated as be-
tween S3,000,O00 and 100000, and a
deficiency appropriation to that ex.
tent may by necessary.
A number of machine firms through.
out the country have offered the use
of their shops to the government for
any hurried work that may be requir-
ed in the way of converting merchant
vessels into available cruisers.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, while talking to
some Harvard divinity students the
other day, offered this distinction be-
eween conservatism and radicalism:
''The radical says: Break the shell
and let the contents OUT The con-
sentative says: Don't do it; you'll
only have broken egg and a dead
bird .The radical replies: If you
keep the she'll whole, you'll only have
a dead bird and an added egg"
Ex-Governor Buckner, of Kentucky
of war fame, could go to Congress if
he wished, buthe declines the honor.
So could the famous Ex-Governor J.
Proctor Knott go, of former Congress
sional distinction. to say nothing of
his historic speech about Duluth, and,
perhaps, he will finally be induced to
become the Fourth District Repre-
sentative.

In view of the advanced age and
feeble condition of Pope Leo, there is
nothing strange in the fact that the
matter of his successor should attract
considerable public attention. There
has been considerable said in regard
to Cardinal Gibbons as his possible
successor, and such a selection would
not only be gratifying to the Catho-
lies of this country, but to the Ameri-
can people as well, and no man better
qualified in point of character and at
tainments could be found. But it is
very doubtful that the European por-
tion of the church would allow the
head of the church to come to this
country In fact it is not probable
that other than an Italian will be
allowed to fill the Papal chair. The
Pope is no longer temporal sovereign
but has in no wise given up his claims
to temporal power, and to choose a
Pope from a foreign nation would
simply be to weaken that claim. The
majority of the Cardinal college is
composed of Italians and it is very
improbable that they will allow it to
go elsewhere. Another significant
fact in relation to this is, that the
Pope has been strengthening the
Italian membership in the college,
while the English speaking represen-
tation has not been weaker in many
years than at present.

NOT A HAPPY FAMILY.

The split in the Democratic party
in regard to the handling of the tariff
question seems to grow wider as time
goes on. 1t is now said that three
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means committee will vote against
Springer's free wool bill, not that
they object to free wool, but they are
opposed to his style of attacking the
Mckinley law. Mr.. Mills and his fol-
lowers believe in general tariff bill,
where all articles will be considered
in relation to one another. The
Springer method of attacking the tar
if would prove most disastrous one,
not only to the country, but to those
who direct it, could it be carried out.
No tariff law was ever more scientif-
ically constructed than the Mckinley
law. Every article was considered in
relation to some other article and it's
duty fixed accordingly. To repeal the
duty upon one article and not take
into consideration the duty upon
other articles upon which the duty
may have been adjusted in relation to
it, would simply throw the whole into
confusion.
But there is no probability of any
such trouble arising from the fact
that with Republican senate and
President there is no possibility of
hills in this line becoming laws. Fur
ther than this it is understood that
when any of Mr.. Springer's pet tariff
measures come up in the House, Mr..
Mills will be on hand with general
Tariff bill, which he will move as a
substitute, and then the conflict will
come between the two wings Of the
party.
It will simply be fight for suprem-
acy in party councils, and Republicans
can well enjoy the fun, for no matter
which wing wins it will prove equally
disastrous to Democratic hopes.

n CHILLI BACKS DOWN.

The rumor that Chilli had replied to
the ultimatum of the United States,
and conceded to its demands has been
confirmed. Chili's desire TO arbitrate
the question in controversy can hard
~ be denied by this country, which
has always been an advocate of arbi-
tration in such matters. The back
ing down OF Chill is victory
for the administration, and complete
Justification Of its course in the
trouble. In taking the course it has
Jhili has acted wisely in the matter.
There could be only one outcome of a
ar, and that would be defeat for
hill. Undoubtedly the greatest dis
4ppointment in the peaceful solution
# the trouble will be felt in England.
Not that it is probable the gov
eminent Of that country particularly
desired war to occurr between Chilli
and this country, but it hoped the
strained relations which have existed
during the past few months would
spread to other Spanish American
nations, and so break off the trade
relations with us which are causing
20 much anxiety in the British world.
But this hope is dashed to the ground.
The trouble will be peacefully settled,
and the administration will stand
stronger than ever with the people
because of the skillful manner in
which it has conducted it's side of the
affair.

NOT A BANKRUPT TREASURY.

The free traders haYe claimed all
along that the Mckinley law did not
revise the tariff in that a reduction of
taxation was secured, and to bolster
up this claim, they have asserted that
the money in the federal treasury has
been spent in profigate manner by
the present administration. There
was, they say, a large surplus is the
treasury when the Republicans return
ed to power, but the 'billion-dollar-con-
gress' has wasted it all, and the adj
ministration has been obliged to ex-
tend the time of payment, without
authority of law, of large amount OF
bonds because there was no money
with which to pay them.
This large surplus of which they
have so much to say about, was in the
treasury when the Cleveland admins
tration took possession of the govern
ment, and the highest compliment
ever paid to the Republican manage
ment of the financial affairs of the
nation, was by this same administra-
tion, which, after all the Democratic
outcry against the Republican finan-
cial policy, did not dare to vary from
it in the least, but followed it closely.
In the matter of the surplus it either
boarded it in the treasury or placed it
out among favorite banks, instead of
applying it to liquidate the nations
debt. When the Republicans return
ed to power, the administration i'm
mediately applied the surplus funds
toward paying the national debt, a
sensible course, that would be ap-
proved by any good business man, if
submitted for his opinion.
In it's interview with Asst. Secre-
tary, o. L. Spaulding, the other day,
the House committee on Ways and
Means, found out in an official manner
that the revenues of the government
had actually been reduced by the
Mckinley law, and at the same time
that there will be no excess of expen-
ditures over receipts.
If there was any expectation upon
the part of Mr.. Springer and his as
sociates to make some political CAPT.
tai out of a possible deficit in the
national treasury, they have been
previously disappointed. There is no
danger whatever of a bankrupt treas
ury. In view of the fact, however,
tina t there have been some eXtraordi-
nary demands upon the treasury dur
ing the past year because of pensions
and the naval improvements that are
being made, the treasury department
shows exceedingly good management
when it is remembered that the Nc
Kinley law cut off $50, 100000 of the
revenue at one stroke by repeating
the sugar duty, and also provided for
the paying of several millions in sugar
bounties, and yet Mr.. Springer and
his committee found that there is
good reason to believe the total eX-
cess of receipts over expenditures for
the fiscal year will reach $4,000, 900.
This does not look like bankrupt
treasury, aud at the same time it will
not allow of the Hill-Crisp. Springer
method of reducing the tariff by plac-
ing wool, lumber, salt, ETC., on the
free list, as this would be very likely
to create a shortage in the revenue.
1t will be interesting to note the
future attitude of the Ways and
Means committee toward the tariff
question in the light of the facts it
learned about the federal treasury,

/ PRESIDENT HARRISON'S message in
regard to the Gillian trouble is very
generally approved and commended
by the press and leaders of all parties.
While here and there some are inclin-
ed to criticise harshly, the disguise is
too thin and the design to gain some
partisan advantage is plainly seen.
The message is firm in its tone and
will mark the Harrison administration
in history as one standing by the
rights of American sailors and citi-
zens, no matter in what part of the
globe they may be. But while it is
firm in the declaration that Ameri-
can honor must be upheld at any
cost, it does not breath war spirit
to the exclusion of any possible chance
for peaceful settlement of the con-
troversy.
To every American who reads the
message and correspondence, there
must come feeling of pride that the
matter has been handled so skillfully
upon the part of our government.
Everything possible has been done to
obtain a peaceful settlement, but
when Chill refused to do anything in
the matter, something must be done.
The President disposed of his part in
the controversy without buster or
threats. At the same time he showed
that there would be no flinching in
the matter by our government, but
that Chill must make ample repa-
ration or take the consequences, and
in this he seems to but voice the SEN
timent of the entire nation.

Last evening just as the Larimore train
pulled in Station Agent G. J. Fisher,
who sat at his desk making up his
days accounts, with Mrs. Fisher
standing by him, heard the Office
door open and On the same instant a
man grabbed Ethe money before him
and fired. Fisher started back,
and the shot just missed his head,
passed close tothe telegraph operator
and through one of the coaches. The
operator caught up his revolver, which
lay in an open drawer by his side,
but before he could use it the robber
had made his escape. The whole
thing was done so quick that the
Office door, which closed with spring
had no time to shut after his entry be =
fore he was gone. The robber secured
$147 in money and about $50 in time
checks. He was recognized by a man
in the depot as!one who had been seen
shooting craps during the day. AS
he left the depot he fell off the steps
and his revolver went off again
