The REPUBLICAN prints the names

ers, typesetters. etc. If the proportion
OF women shall increase, who take posi-
tions usually filled by men, the number
OF male cooks, launderers and general
domestics will have to increase. The
net compensation of kitchen help in
this section today is more than that of
general male lahorers.
1t begins tolook hereabouts as though
it was about time for the Chinese re-
striction act to be amended if not re-
pealed. There are no less than dozen
families in this town alone which can
not get domestic help of any sort, al
though they are willing to pay the
highest wages and give their employees
all the comforts of home beside, And

Judge Bakewell of Plankinton has
evolved a new economic theory which is
we'll worthy of consideration, and which
he has promised to elaborate soon. 1t
is in effect that the expenses of running
the government shall be raised by di-
rect taxation, thus compelling the rich
man to pay his just portion. Then a
protective tariff that is just shall be
levied and the proceeds divided among
the people pro rata. So that the man
who goes to pay his national tax will
find an Offset due him in tariff receipts.
The rich man will pay in the balance
due while the poor man will find that
he has some money coming to him.

lined.
The New York Times Claims to Have
Authentic Information as to the
General Features.
Four Separate Provinces With Pow
ers Similar to Those of States in
This Country.

New YORK, Nov. 3U.-The Times
prints complete outline of what it
purports to be the plan Mr. Gladstone
proposes to offer to the British house Of
commons as solution Of the problem of
Ireland's self elfgovernment, ,whichhas con-
fronted the English government for so
many years. The details as they are
presented, The Times says, may be ac-
cepted as authentic. They were pub
lished Monday in the Baltimore Sun as
the "views Of :, leading thinker" The
Times has received assurance that they
are Mr.. Gladstoue's ideas and that he
will submit them them in the home rule
bill which he is now framing. This as
surance comes through an autograph
letter written by gentleman who is
very close to the prime minister. The
plan is substantially as follows:
Let the measure make of Ireland a
dominion divided into four provinces,
viz: Ulster, Munster, Connaught and
Leinster. Let evSsv province have its
own house of representatives, elected by
manhood suffrage and equal electoral
districts, and let each house of repre-
sentatives elect number (proportioned
to the population of the province) of life
senators to meet in Dublin and there
constitute an Irish senate.
Let each province have governor ap-
pointed by the crown, and let the gov
ernor of Leinster be also the president
of the Irish senate.
Let all the acts of provincial parlia-
ment have the full power of the govern
ment of an American state, and let the
Irish senate have the full powers of the
United States federal government, with
the following limitations:
A.-No armed forces, fortresses,
arsenals to be created or maintained
other than such as may be appointed by
the imperial parliament of Great
Britain and Ireland.
B.-No relations with foreign powers
to be established except as arranged by
the imperial parliament.
C.-No taxes to be imposed upon COM
merce between Ireland and any otker
British country.
D.-No Legislation, be it either senate
or provincial parliament, to take place
in violation of personal liberty, or per
sonal freedom, or religious belief and
thought, or in confscation of private
property.
E.-The constitutionality or otherwise
of any legislation. whether by the Irish
senate or any provincial parliament, tc

| judicial committee of the priv council
F.-The sovereignty of the crown tc

crown in council to be enforced by war.

province.

each province.

congressman About Equally Divided as
to the Adyisabllity of Calling One.
WASHINGTON, Nov. .30.-Congressmen
are beginning to arrive in the city pre-
paratory to the meeting of congress.
All OF them have views on the question
OF calling an extra session of congress,
the opinion being about equally divided
on both sides of the question:.
Representative Holman, chairman of
the house appropriations committee,
said that so far as the tariff is concerned
he thought much more could be accom-
plished by doing that work in the ordi
nary manner and through the ordinary
channels than by calling an extra ses-
sion.
81 am not prepared" he continued,
ITO say there will be a deficit that will
demand an extra session of congress-. ]
see by the papers that there will be per.
haps $25,OOO,OOO in the treasury that
will be available outside Of the $lOU,.
O0O, 600 reserve. If this coming session
reduces expenditures by cutting all
along the line as it ought to do, and as ]
believe it will, that amount. togethe,
with the revenues, will run the govern
ment to the end of the financial year.
Representative Livingstone, of Geor
gia, Democratic, with Alliance leanings
declared positively that there was
neither reason nor excuse that could be
offered for not having an extra session
next spring. The people wanted te
know how long the robbery under ths
Mckinley act was going on. He did MOI
see how the extra session could bt
avoided.

In considering the relative merits OF
protection and free trade THE REpuB-
L1cAN has always been free to admit
that the latter would be the ideal con-
dition under which to exist were all
nations upon something like an equal
footing as to natural advantages. 1t is
gratifying, therefore, to be sustained in
this view by SO Independent and unbias-
ed thinker as Benz. r. Butler, who
says in his autobiography, when relat-
ing his early experiences in school:
Wayland's Political Economy taught
me to be free trader as do all such col
lege text books teach students. These
doctrinal teachings would be perfect

The esteemed editor OF the free trade

boasts of a college education. but wher
he has had the experience OF the vet,
eran Butler he will doubtless reach
something like the same conclusion.

A Debate at Montreal Listened to bv
Eight Thousand People.
MONTREAL, Nov. 3G.-Over eight thou
sand people gathered at Sohmer park,
the largest public place in the city, to
hear joint debate on the political
future of Canada. Four prominent
speakers were selected to take part in
the debate. Professor Archiblld Nc
Gonwn, of McGill university, and secre-
tary of the imperial federal chief legal.
advocated imperial federation. j.. T..
Cardinal, a prominent French Canadian
Conservative, spoke for the colonial
system. Rudolphe Lemeux, Mr.. Mer-
cier's law partner, advocated the inde-
pendence of Canada, and Mr.. Egin
Meyers, G. c., of Toronto, who was dis
missed from Office by Premier Mowat,
of Ontario, on account of his annexation
views, was, the speaker for political
union with she United States. The first
three speakers were given attentive
hearing. Professor McGouwn, who adj
vocated Canada remaining with the
empire, said that anybody who adyo-
Gated annexation was a traitor.

favor of political union with the United
States he was received with misses and
Interruptions from portion of the audi
ence.. By this time nearly all the people
in the building were on their feet and
the greatest excitement prevailed. 1t
looked very much as if a free fight
would ensue and this was probably only
prevented by a body of police being
called in and stationed in all the gal
leries where the noisy element had
assembled. When order was restored
Mr.. Meyers proceeded, but had not gons

Will Do Business at the Old Stand,

Spencer, Iowa, News: One of the
best officials which the young state of
South Dakota will lose on account of
the whirligig of politics, is Ralph w.
Wheelock, receiver of the Mitchell
land office. But the state will not be
deprived OF his services, for, as editor
of THE MITCHELL REPUBLICAN,, he
will continue to uphold the principles
which he considers right and to defend
the reputation of the state against the
slanderous onslaughts of its enemies.

j, The Talk of 6fseg...

OTsEao, Mimi, Nov. 30.-The mar.
riage of John w. Washburn, widower
aged s3, and Mrs. Mary Ingersoll, a
widow aged rs, is the talk of the town
at present. Washburn could not live
with any of his children, 80 he sold his
farm and proposed marriage to Mrs,
Ingersoll. Her farm is mortgaged, and
he agreed to pay off the mortgage, and,
to offset the objections of her children,
also agreed to make no claim to the
property if she dies first. Washburn is
very much afraid his children will get
some of his property.

The GOVERNORS Vote AT Home,

Huronite: In Day county the Inde-
pendent candidate for governor two
years ago had a plurality over Mellette
of about 500. This year VanOsdel gets
one of only II over Sheldon. 1t is re-
marked that Gov. Sheldon got only 81
votes in his own township OF these
votes all but five have heretofore been
cast as Independent or Democratic.
So the governor must have come out
about % votes ahead of his ticket.

Iroquois Chief: 1t is noticeable
fact that many OF the eastern manufac
turing states went Democratic while
the agricultural northwest cast its bal.
lot for protection.
Argus-Leader: Which means, if ii
means anything, that-those people who
had protection at home and knew all
about ltwere not deliriously joyful over
lis results, while the only ones who
voted to continue the policy were those
who lived far away and did not know
anything about it.
And yet here in South Dakota these
poor agricultural ignoramuses have had
the Argus-Leader to enlighten them
for some time-eyer since it was made
an "official organ" indeed.

The Webster Farmer and Reporte,

The Webster Farmer and Reporter
makes the following pertinent sugges-
tion to the incoming legislature:
We hope they will wipe out that part
OF the law on assessments and taxa
tion" passed by the populists of 1891,
giving the control of tax sales to money
corporations and syndicates of capital
Under the provisions of that law the
whole list was to be offered at once, and
not until the big fellows had whack at
it could the small fry buy single piece
offered for sale. And this was the kind
OF legislation 1.-THE virgin party of purity

lis called it, gave to the people. Laws

One of the most important facts
brought out thus far by the Homestead
investigation is that the reason the law
could not be enforced in Pennsylvania
lay in the political pressure bearing on
the local and state authorities. Chief
of Police McClaughrey of Chicago gave
it as his opinion that the only remedy
would be to divorce the police force Of
the states and cities from politics and
put them upon a civil service basis.
This might be all right up to a certain
point, but how would it be when the
situation ran up against time-serving
politician in the Governors chair-like
Pattison of Pennsylvania for instance:
