REED OUT DONE.

All through the weary months since
Ex-Speaker Reed and the Republican
Honse concluded to do business, in
stead of allowing the minority, the
Democrats have never wearied in al
luding to the Ex-Speaker as Scar. F"
But in his career as Speaker, Mr.. Reed
never went to the extremes reached
by Speaker Crisp last Monday in get
ting the silver resolution before the
House. He went ahead of anything
ever attempted by Mr.. Reed and his
associates. In arbitrarily postponing
the reading of the journal Of the
previous day, he became Gar in
deed. There have been occasions
when the House suspended its con-
sideration, but never before has the
presiding officer attempted such high
handed usurpation.
But this innovation did stop with
Speaker Crisp. The Democratic
House, which has exhausted its vo-
cabulary in denouncing Mr.. Reed be-
cause he would not allow them to do
as they pleased when in the minority,
sustained Speaker Crisp in his ruling.
The last vestige of an excuse for as
sailing Ex-Speaker Reed has disap-
peared though to keep their up rep
utation for in consistency they will
probably continue their attacks to a
certain extent.
The result of the vote upon the
silver resolution shows that the silver
ties had control of the House by an
over whelming majority, and that
there was no need of resorting to
such unusual proceedings, but they
were fearful of their ability to get the
question before the House at this
time.
The action Of Speaker Crisp in this
matter speaks more loudly than
words to the effect that those who
now control the fortunes of Democra-
cy, intend to follow the path of free
silver, hoping thereby TO win more in
the south and southwest than they
will lose in the east. Their actions
serve to illustrate the fact that
''whom the gods destroy they first
make mad"

Farmers Should Breed PercherOn

The census of 1890 gives the aggre-
gate number of horses in the United
States at about fifteen millions, esti-
mating that one-half of those in use
are required for rapid draft purposes"
The produce of the typical Percheron
horse is conceded, in every market Of
the world where they are in use, to
be the strongest, quickest, hardest,
freest from disease and longest-liyed
of any known breed of draft horses.
Mr.. |. H. Dahlman, of New York,
who handles more draft horses than
any other man in the United States,
and sells them on trial to give salts
faction or to be returned, says he will
buy none but Percheron horses, be-
cause no other draft breed will stand
the test with so few failures. The
ordinary farmer can do nothing that
will pay him better than to keep good
Percheron mares for farm work, and
raise pair or two of colts each year.
The Brilliant family is conceded to be
far superior to any other. No other
family has approached the prices paid
for members of the Brilliant family,
both in France and America. Farm

TISSUES Of THE PRESIDENTIAL
4-.s.s GAMPAI(GiN.s''--a = ',c..s-.ET


In the current North american Re
vie,c, under the caption of tissues OF
the Presidential Campaign" the stu
alton is discussed by several gentle
men prominent in political life, among
them being Gov. Merriam, of this
State. The Governor believes that
the two important questions in the
approaching campaign will be those
of the free coinage of silver and the
policy Of protection, and the financial
question will in his estimation as
sumo the more Importance of the two.
He does not think there is the slight
est question as to the position the
Republican party will take upon
these two issues. 1t has always stood
firm in the past for an honest curren-
CIV. and it has determined to oppose
the free coinage Of silver, unless the
nations of the earth agree upon some
basis upon which the two metals
can flow side by side, but is in favor
of whatever silver the nation can alb
serb without endangering its bust
ness affairs. The more the question
of free coinage is agitated and consid-
cred by the people and the baneful
results that would arise from the
adoption of such a policy understood,
the less danger there is in its adop-
tiOn.
On the other hand as he studies the
course the Democrats have pursued
during the past year, the Governor
believes that party will be fairly
committed to the policy of free com
age in the coming campaign, and to
sustain this view he refers to the po-
sition of the representatives OF De-
mocracy in the last congress: their
adoption of it as an issue in the Ohio
campaign last fall, and the position
of many leading members of the party
upon the subject.
This is the position in which he
finds the two great parties upon the
financial question. AS to the tarlff
question, he finds the attitude OF the
parties much the same as in the past.
The Republican party withstand by the
protective policy while the Democrats
will declare for tariff reform, which he
finds in Mr.. Mills definition about as
near free trade as it is possible to get.
The Democrats would levy the duty
upon articles not produced in this
country, while the Republicans would
raise the revenue that must be raised
to cover the necessary expenses OF
the government, by placing it upon
articles that would protect our labor.
This has been the idea of Republican
leaders of the past and still stands as
Republican doctrine, and upon these
two sound principles of honest money
and protection to American labor he
believes the party will continue to
stand, and surely more patriotic
course could not well be pointed out

WHAT is known as the Catch Coun-
ty Option bill, which has passed the
senate of the Iowa legislature, does
not disturb the present prohibition
law in any county unless the people
first vote to do so. Of the 80 counties
in Iowa, it is claimed that 90 are
thoroughly under the control of pro-
hibition. The Catch bill will give
the remaining counties chance to
regulate the traffic by high license.
1t provides that before license can
be issued, the county supervisors shall
submit the question to popular vote
upon petition of two-fifths of the
qualified electors of the county APP
plication for permits are to be made
to the district court, and must be en-
dorsed by majority of property own
ers and residents in the street where
the business is to be located, for 200
feet in each direction. Outside of
corporate limits 30 freeholders must
endorse the, application. Three Re
publicans voted for the measure in

COMMISSIONER MOORE.

Duluth Ne,os: The governor of the
state did not need much petitioning
to decide upon the appointment of a
Duluth man as national fair commits
sioner to succeed the late NJ. B. Har-
rison. He recognized the claims of
this city for the place and, as the
news which reached here yesterday
showed, did not long delay in making
his selection. His choice was Hon.
III. B. Moore, who was appointed yes
terday afternoon. This is an appoint
ment the people of Duluth and the
state will readily acquiesce in. Mr..
Moore is well fitted for the position
and will take pride in the work of the
office Above all things he will bend
his efforts towards securing an ex-
hibit that will do justice to our city
and this section of the state. He has
acceptablY occupied the offices of
mayor of Duluth and collector of Gus
toms of this district and is thorough
ly acquainted with all our resources.
Besides all this, he is an accomplish
ed, affable and accommodating gen.
tleman, well calculated to maintain
the dignity of the position as well as
to do its work. There were other gen.
tlemen mentioned for the place who
were eminently qualified for the Of
flee, but even their best friends will
recognize that no mistake has been
made in Mr.. Moores selection.

The blizzard that visited this section
Wednesday, departed during the night,
but it left a record that will be talk
ed of for years to come.
The temperature was at no time
during the storm, below zero, but the
wind made up for everything the
thermometer failed TO look after. As
the wind whistled through the air, it
reminded us of what Hewitt, the
English poet wrote. He said:
1.-The wind one morning,
Sprang up from sleep,
Saying, 'Now for frolic!
Now for leapl
Now for mad cap galloplng chase!
I'll make a commotion
In every place"
The wise ones who predicted yester-
day morning that the storm would
abate by noon, hung their heads at
the hour of shutdown and admitted
that for once they were mistaken. At
six o'clock last night the wind was
blowing a furious gale and there was
no likelihood of it's ceasing for several
hours. The trains on the various
roads arrived and departed, but all
were late. BY the aid of the electric
lights in the stores, belated travellers
managed to get along at slow pace.
1t will be several days before the
whole story Of the sad havoc will be
known as farmers throughout the
county will not be able to reach town.
The wrecks are numerous, and when
the reports are all in, the amount OF
damages will show up in large figures.
Besides the mishaps collected yester-
day and presented in last nights is
sue of the FREE PRESS, we have gath.
cred the following:
Two smokestacks on the Creamery
Package Company blown off; nobody

THE free traders are always assert
ing that the tariff adds to the cost OF
the article upon which it is levied.
They also give as reason for remov-
ing the duty on wool, that it is cheap
er under a high tariff than it is with
a low tariff. Here is strange incon'
sistency. However, the free traders
life is made up of inconsistencies.
