A BLOCDED SCOUNDREL.
An Irish Alleged Gentleman in a
Vile Position.

LONDON, April 10. - Hon. Patrick
Greyiile Nugent. brother of Lor d
Greville, was today arraigned in po-
lice court on the charge of having as
saulted young lady named Price.
The offense is alleged 10 have been
committed last night in compartment
of a train running from London TO
Brighton. Miss Price stated that she
made most desperate struggle against
her assailant, and that she became ex-
hauSted by fighting against him.
A tremendous sensation has been
caused by the accusation. Hon. Patrick
Emilius John Grevlle-N ugent is a
brother of Baron Grevllle, and is deputy
lieutenant and high sheriff OF the county
of West Meath, Ireland. The Greyilles
stand high among the nobility. and
Hon. Patrick has been considered the
most prominent member of the family.
He was born in 1872. is married to Lady
ErmeHgarde, daughter aud heress OF
Augustus Ogilvy. Esq, of Dumfries,
Scotland. and they have one child. Hon.
Patrick was al early subject of favor
on the part of the government, as shown
by his promotion 10 the distinguished
Office of deputy lieutenant. lie is con
sidered q handsome man, and rather
this reason. 1t is said. somewhat aroused
the jealousy of his high-tehpered Scot
fish wife, who holds the purse OF the
family.
Those present at court noticed that
the Hon. Patrick was granted the
special privilege, never accorded to
poor or plebeian ofIendeIs.o occupying
a reserved seat with the counsel. Lady
GreFille- Nugent, his wife, was also
present. and while she seemed deeply
touched by the proceedings, she gave
an occasional glance at her husband
which seemed to make him shrink, and
look both frightened and ashamed,
When charged at the police station
and confronted with the girl, the priS-
orer refused to give his name, and the
police had some trouble in ascertaining
who he was. The hearing of the case
occupied about two hours. The coun-
sci for Greviile -Nugent suggested that
il was case Of bIackmail, but the
magistrate said there was no evidence
whatever to show that such was the
case. Bail was required from the de-
fendant in the sum OF G400 for further
appearance, and was promptly fur
niShed.

PLAIN LION" MERRITT.
No FriIls Go Around Him IL He Is
Aware OF Ii.


Leonidas Merritt, better known as
Lon" Merritt, is IAN interesting man.
He came to Duluth away back in 1856,
and has resided there ever since. He
first commenced business as a lumber
man, and in that business obtained the
knowledge of Northern Minnesota
which led him to EXPLORE and prospect
locked over the Nermillion field, but
found that completely under the
control and i'll the hauds Of
the Minnesota Iron company. His
later discoveries were the most yalu-
able, largely on account Of their near
ness to Duluth and the light cost Of
mining. But finding the iron ore was
bit step in the work. The next thing
was to interest capital. usually hard
task. By this it must not be understood
that LON Merritt was poor at the time
he entered the Mesaba field, but the
plans he had in view demanded more
capital than any one man would be able
to furnish. In speaking OF his efforts,
Mr.. Merritt gave a good Illustration of
his character. ,

The Duluth, Mesaba q Northsrn rail-
road was planned by Mr. Merritt and,
while only about fifty miles will be COM
pleted this year, the surveys have made
been to the northern boundary, and will
ultimately tap the rich country bordering
on Rainy lake and Rainy lake river.
WheD Mr.. Merritt was asked in regard
to the plans of the Mesaba q Northern
he said:
1T is fact that our surveys have
been made further north, but | do not
understand how they became public.
We are now intent on reaching our
mines and commencing the shipment of

A. L. Gillespie, of Casper, Wyo.. who

are primarily, however. responsible for
the trouble. Originally in their round
ups they get great many of the smaller
cattlemen's calves mixed mp with their

smaller operators began TO kill the COWS

the calves, upon which their own
brands were placed. You see the
cows are branded but the calves are

census OF them at the recent election

was accurate. The trouble with the Re-

for example that half dozen good and

that John Smith is good man to recon-

MEAGHER'S ERRAND.
The Mankato banker Not Figur-
ing in Politics.

1t seems to be only necessary for
prominent Democrat from Minnesota or
the Dakotas to pass through Washing
ton three days TO give the correspond
ents of Republican papers in this sec
ton material for a column or more re-
garding a alliance fusion
i'm these states. Tne latest illustration
OF this was furnished by Washington
dispatch in Yesterdays Pioneer Press.
The prominent Democrat ''implicated"
in this foul attempt to defeat
the Republican party is none
other than Hon. John f. Meagher, of
Mankato. Tie facts in regard to Mr.
Meagher'S visit to Washington show
the absurdity OF this special in striS
ing manner.
Il notice in a morning paper" said
well-known Mankato Democrat yester-
day. that Hon. John L. Meagher is re-
ported TO be in Washington as an am
bassador from the Minnesota Democ-
raey TO effect fusion between Mime
sofa Democrats and Alliance men.
There is no truth in it. Mr.. Meagher
and his wife were called East several
weeks ago by the dangerous illness of
their son at Harvard college, and they
are there awaiting his recovery to an
extent that will enable them to return
home with HIM. His visit to Wash
ington is wholly Of business char
acter and relates 10 the reorganization
of the National bank, of which he is
president and a large stakeholder.
Washington newspaper men seem to
place great stress upon the manipula-
ton of state politics at the national cap
itai, but so lar Us Minnesota is con-
cerned, think it is very much overrated.
Mr.. Meagher has given but little atten-
ton to politics of late, and in view of the
great and absorbing interest in his sons
health, he has neither time nor heart for
the manipulations attributed to him.
His friends in Mankato understand
fully the nature of his visit to Washing
ton, and it has nothing to do with pol

DEMOCRATIC PROTECTION
lists.

The editor of the Brainerd Journal
feels it incumbent OH himself to enter a
protest against part of the declaration
of the recent Democratic convention on
the tariff. That portion which he i'm
AGNES is undemocratic is the statement
that 1--WE are opposed to the theory of
protection as manifestation of the
principle Of paternallSm in politics,
with which our party is additionally at
war;
This, he says, is not in harmony with
Democratic belief. The tariff should, In
his opinion, IN order to be truly Demo
cratic, be put on imports sufficient to
compensate for the difference in labor
cost of the goods between those made
here and abroad; and he would impose
no impost OH articles not made here, or.
as he phrases it. upon commodities
where there is no competition between
this and foreign countries" 1t is fortu-
nate for the platform that the editor of
the journal did not read further into
the plank, because it is impossible to
guess what form his thoughts would
read the further declaration that the
Democratic party, in Minnesota, at
least, wishes such laws as will
set commerce and industry free"
Possibly he might object to that
as being undemocratic, in which
case he would have to admit that it is
Democratic to keep commerce and in
dustry enslayed. If the editor of the
Journal will take the trouble to refer to
the recent platforms Of his state party,
he will find that on two occasions his
party has declared an ''uncompromlsing
opposition to the un-American system
of a protective tariff" and under both
declarations the party vote has been
steadily increasing. 1t would appear
that Minnesota Democrats do not feel
solicitouS about protection by taxation,
even to the extent indicated by the
JournQl.
All tNis rot about the difference in
labor cost should be left strictly for the
amusement of editors of Republic can
papers. In the face of all the mass of
testimony which has been elected and
published within the decade, demon
stratug that the difference in the cost
of the labor In almost everything made
in this country is less than it is i'll SINH
lar articles made anywhere else, and
that tariff adjusted on that line would
be absolute free trade. Democratic edit
ors cannot afford to be repeating the
exploded assertion of the protectionists.
