Two Brands of Reformers.

One brand of tariff reformers think
that protection is bad and that it
should be abolished. They think,
though, that as every change in the
tariff unsettles business it is best not
to shock trade by any great or sudden
change of rates. They prefer to re-
form gently and to scale down protect
i've duties at the rate of 2, 8, or 5 per
cent. year, reaching tariff for reve-
nue. basis in 1905 or 1910. Another
brand agrees that protection is curse
and that any change Of duties disturh5
industry. They think, however, the
quicker the tariff can be reformed and
protection abolished the quicker will
be the recovery from the shock. If a
tooth is bad they prefer to have it ex-
tracted at one sitting rather than at
dozen sittings, in which case the agony
might be prolonged for two or three
weeks. They say also that If protec-
tion is abolished piecemeal not only
will business be panicky for many
years but the protected manufacturers
will fight each step with all their
power, money, and influence. : =
Short, sharp action, which shall re-
move the poisonous fang of protection
from industry, is what Is needed. Bust
ness will then soon recover from the
shock and will thrive as never before.

Digging Political Graves Deeper.
Certain Republicans. not satisfied
with the depth of their graves, are
actively engaged in digging them
deeper. The New York Press was
among the first to agitate for deeper
graves by renewing the assaults upon
the intelligence of the American peo-
pie which caused the upheayals of 1890
and 1892. 1t will be recalled that Re-
publicans everywhere then asserted
that tariffs are not taxes; that they
lower prices; that the foreigner pays
tariff taxes; that we can tax ourselves
into prosperity with protective
tariff, and all such other nonsense. A
few weeks ago the New York Press
dug up the Republican corpse and be-
gan to kick it, and to shout in its ears
that the jig was not yet up If 1t would
only perambulate about the country
telling the people that. they were fools
frst'and towards last; that they were
now scared at their own tariff declara-
tions; that this fear Is the cause of the
present panic; that the Sherman silver
law really has nothing to do with it;
that it would exist without the Sher-
man law; and that blue ruin will stare
us in the face after the law is repealed
and until President Cleveland and the
leaders of the Democratic party re-
nounce all intention of disturbing the
Mckinley tariff act. The New York
Tribune and other leading Republican
papers had some doubts as to the
advisability of attempting to "fool all
of the people all of the time, but as it
was the last straw it reluctantly
clutched at 1t, and the most of the
other Republican papers and men-not
excepting ex-President Harrison-are
now soberly telling us that the country
Is afraid of the Democrats and of free
trade, and that this Is the cause of the
present financial stringency. Where
will these same journals and men be
when Congress has repealed the Sher-
and the business of the country has
returned to its usual prosperous condi-
tion? Will they have sufficient conf
dence in the credulity and stupidity of
the American people to imagine that
bn6y CAN az ain 10 u6CS1Ncu ny any IdISo
cry? Are not these Republicans burn
ing their bridges behind them when
they bet their last dollar that this is q
free trade panic? What if the panic
ceases the moment that the Sherman
law is abolished, as Depew-the one
rational Republican left-says it will?
How much deeper will the country then
find it necessary to bury the G., o. P.
corpse for hygienic reasons? And what
sorry condition this same corpse will
be in when the day of Judgment ar
rives, and it must tell of the misery
that was caused on earth by its shame.

HOW WE s
Tip OF the Tongue Cannot DIstinRuish
between FIayOrn.

Tip Of the Tongue Cannot Dlstingulsh
between Flavor.
Strictly speaking. with the tip Of the
tongue n cannot really taste ct all.
1t YOU put a drop of oil of bitter al
lnonds on that part of the mouth you
will find tina. it produces no effect of
any sort. You only taste+ it when it
begins slowly to diffute. Itself. and
reaches the true testing region in the
middle distance.
But it you put a little mustard or
cayenne on the same part you will find
that it bites you ilnmcdiately-the ex-
pertinent should be tried sparingly-
while, if you put it lower down in the
mouth you will swallow it almoss
without noticing the pungen v of the
stimulant.
The reason is that the tip Of tho
tongue is supplied only with the
nerves of touch, not nerves of
taste proper. They belong to a to-
tally different main branch and thew
go to a different center in the brain,
together with the very similar threads
which supply the nerves of smell for
mustard or pepper.
That is why the smell and taste of
these pungcnt substances are so much
alike, as everybody must have noticed,
a good sniff at a mustard pot produc-
ing almost the same irritating effects
US an incautious dose.

North Dakotu Capital 3 The supreme

matter of the attempt of the governor to
GUST The old board or trustrees of the
Fargo Agricultural College. The decision
af6rms the decision of tho lower court
that the governor had nc power under the
statute to remove tho old board.
Hon. Seth Newman, of Fargo, member
of the last legislature and one of the

the Argus ~ follows in relation to the de-

places the state institutions in a position
practically independent OF the executive,
and amenable only to the courts, and IN
cures a better, more competent and indie
pendent management than would be pos
sible were removals permitted for political
purposes. I nave not seen the opinion,
but understand it holds that the governor
has no power of removal, and that such
power can only be exercised by the courts.
On a careful examination OF the questions
involved it was dilncult TO see how a differ
ent conclusion could be reached. The
case, Us presented to the supreme court.
involved only the question whether the
power of removal could be exercised Ivy
tho governor. OF course, if any good
cause exists for the removal of the col
lege board or any other officers, the courts
are always open and have full authority
to act. Tho decision is far reaching IN
its effect, and in'so, far as it places public
II :srs beyond the danger of removal for
political reasons, must inure to the best
Interests of The State.

She told how she had received the

rouR O Z MISSES.

Back in Allegheny, Pa, a morbid mania
of self destruction has taken possession
Of u number of young girls Just budding
into womanhood. Ida Lewis, . l6-year-
girl, following the example of Mabel Hip
pie and Lizzie Mcdonald, who ended t leir
young lives this week, attempted suicide
the other night by drinking the contents
of an ounce vial containing n mixture of
laudanam and earbolic acid. There is a
strong coincidence in the cases from the
fact that Ida's companion of the same
age, Laura Gray attempted to commit
suicide but her courage failed her and she
did not. Miss Gray wa with Miss Lewis
when she took the poison. Physicians
were at once summoned md after a half
hours work succeeded in saving Miss
Lewis life. 1t seems that the girls were
inpeIled to their actions by reading of
num(,erless trashy novels. Ida and Mabel
and Lizzie and Laura occupied the great
or part of their time in following the
fortunes of mythical heroes on cheap pa
per and between yellow covers. And it was
too much for them. The sudden transition
srom the Apollos on paper with high,
white ~foreheads, acquiline noses, patrician
bearings and the numerous other impos.
siblo attributes with which the writers
of trash arc wont to adorn and To licked
the male creation, to the commonplace
chaeacters of reality, proved too great a
shock for the mental %eqn,libriums Of TIE
four foolish misses. Their impossibility
to discover in reality the ideals, OF whom
hoy read by day and dreamed by night,
made them sad and di~sconsolate, and they
finally resolved to die by their own hands,
rather than live in a world whose people
we're 40 fur below the standard which
their perusal had led them to expect.
Now the Tribune does not mean to
argue from this that Ida and the other
girls should have confined their reading
those wholesome pro AUCTIONS "Pilgrim's
Progress" Smiles "Happv Homes" and
the like, Nor was it necessary that they
soar into tho whichness of the whence or
the ~utterableness of the infinite with
Browning or Ibsen. But there is a world
of good. wholesome reading matter. in
which the ohaEacters are somewhat as they
appear in everyday life, and which are in
teresting enough to hold tho attention of
the average healthy inesllect. And 1t is
pretty nearly safe to ssy that a moderate
