Editor Collar Chronicle:
/ have been surprised that you
have not corrected the statement of
the Montgomery Mail, that Green
Taylor broke out of the new Jail,
with only a soft piece of wood to
work with. Also that you shoul |
pass in silence the charge that you
violated the law in paying Baden
$261 for work done on the Jail.
From a personal examination of
the Jail, and from the statement
of parties who know, l think there
is no doubt but that Taylor had
steel chisel or large fiat file to
work with. If prisoners are allow
ed to have tools to work with, there
is no jail on earth that will hold
them. The appliances in the new
Jail are good and substantial. With
anything like ordinary care no man
can break out of the steel cages in
the Jail, unless with outside help;
and, it is a comparatively easy mat
ter to see that assistance from the
outside is not afforded, especially
if some change on the inside of the
Jail is made, SO as to divide those
having the freedom of the Jail
from the prisoners confined i'll cells.
/ hope you will make it point to
contradict the ill-natured aud un-
founded animadversions of the
Mail, as some people may think
there is ground for complaint when
no corrections are made.
TAX PAYER.
If we go into the business of cor
recting the mistakes the youths of
the Mail may fall into, we fear we
shall be kept busy all summer, and
have no time to devote to anything
else. So far as any personal allu-
sions to our violating the law are
concerned, we do not think it worth
while to contradict such wild and
absurd charges. As an official our
acts are Legitimate subjects for crit
icism, and we do not claim to be
infallible in our acts or judgment.
If it affords the young men of the
Mail any qualification to inconsid-
erately condemn us for carrying
out the instructions of the police
jury, we have no objection to their
indulging the harmless pastime of
working off their gall. If the inn
plication was true, or had any basis
on which to rest the supposition, it
night be worth while to make de-
Tense or explain the situation. As
it is, the record speaks for itself,
and every man who keeps posted
on parish affairs knows there is
nothing calling for censure or
blame. People will differ as to pub
lie affairs as long as time shall last,
and our time and space are of more
use to us than to take it up in dis
pute and controversy over issues
that have been fully discussed and
passed upon.

Twenty-four employees of the
government were dashed to death
in Washington City OH the 9th inst,
while fifty-two others were more
or less injured, by the collapsing
of the iron girders and wooden
beams that supported the floors of
the old Ford Theatre building.
This building is now used by the
government for the records and
register of the pension bureau. 1t
is the famous theatre in which j.
Wilkes Booth slew President Lin
coin twenty-eight years ago. A
strange coincident of the awful ac-
cident, is that at the very hour of
the day that it occurred the body
of Edwin Booth, brother of the
Presidents slayer, was being taken
to its final resting place.

The subject of selling produce
by weight is developing more con-
troversy than was at first supposed
it would cause. The buyers and
shippers want to buy only by
weight, while receivers and some
producers contend for the old
method, which gives them a de-
cidedly unfair advantage. 1t is,
however, a settled fact that pur-
chasers are bound to have their
way (no pun intended) for the day
has come when every man wants
to know what he is buying.

The Ssosp@i Eri!Iii.

The following from the 81. Paul daily
News voices cur sentiments exactly,
and saves us the trouble of writing to
the same effect. The Lord knows we
have had chin music enough on this
silver question. What we want now
is action. The party in power has pro
claimed to the world that it is the sill
yer purchasing clause Of the so-called
Sherman law that has caused and is
causing all the financial distress of this
country. This declaration is either
true or false If false, then admit the
error of diScernment Ike men, and
seek elsewhere for the cause. Ii true,
then repeal that law at once and give
the country relief at once. UnneceS-
sary delay at this hour is criminal de
lay, and these who occasion it should
be held responsible for it. The News
says:
at is already evident that the de-
bate i'll the House on the financial queS-
ton will be perfunctOry. 1t Is not eX-
pected that any votes Will be changed
10y the fourteen days of talk; the main
object of the speakers is to place them
selves OH record for the benefit OF their
constituents, or rather for the benefit
Of themselves with their constituents.
The minds of most Of them are made
up, and if they are changed 1t Will be
by business or patronage consldera-
tons, OF the pressure Of public Sentl-
mcnt, and not by the elOquence OF
their colleagues. All this was eViden-
ced By the fact Of the slim attendance
III the House during the two days OF
speaking last week; it is said that on
Saturday not more than fifty were
present, although some OF the speakers
were men OF national reputation, and
this slim audience gave very little at
tentiOn to the orators.
The published reports Of the remarks
made develop nothing new. Every side
OF the question has been handled 50 eN
hauStiYely in the newspapers and mag
aZineS, and on the stump, that every
| body who cares ANYTHING about it has
read OF heard all there is to say. Tbs
congressman who are firing Off thrll
remarks TO empty benches need not
tia1tcr themselves that their speeches
Viii be read, even by their c5nStltU
entS. \ three minutes explanation OF
his position by every one, would serve
every purpose. Action and not words
is what the country wants now, and il
| is to lie hoped that the Senate VIII rot
! follow the example Ct the House an,
| intlict another fourteen days debate
upon the country, That body might
d al its talking by the 18th, and be
ready to vote as soon as the house la.
/ adopted some definite measure.

W ASHINGTOE, Aug. little pres
ent chances seem small for any Of the
Wisconsin democrats securing a place
on tie river and harbor committee.
There is a strong possibility that a
Wisconsin member VIII be on it, but
not democrat. If it is any one Mr..

has large lake interests III the Superior
end Of his district and moreover he is
backed for place by the Minnesota

listed on the two sides Of the bay. Tn

The situation is this: another re-
publican is to be added to the ways

The Northern Pacific insOfyeHt.

That the Northern Pacific railroad
has been in precariOuS financial con
ditiou for some time past has been
generally understood by the public,
and when the announcement was made
a few days ago that it had passed into
the hands of board of receivers 1t oc-
casioned no great surprise. Probably
no railroad III this country has been
operated with 50 little regard to bust
ness principles and for the interests OF
its stockholders as the Northern Pa
cific. 1t has always been run by salar-
led officials who held little or none OF
It's stock, and nearly all OF whom
thought only of featherlng his own
private nest at the expense or SAID
stockholders.
Take our own city as an instance.
The rroprietorS of this tOWnslte gave
to the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany nearly oue-third of the entire
townsite as a bonus to come here.
The road came here, but their vast
holdings have never been utilized
and the management of the road has
always been against the city, cOnSe-
quentIy against its own interests
Now it has been openly declared time
and again that had our tOWnslte pro
prietoIs given their property to the
officials of the road instead of the cor
pOration, all would have been well,
and Superior would have grown years
ago, because the officials would have
had an object in using the road to our
advancement and their own. But the
rord did all its business with DulutA
for years and it is said ii cost the com
pany SO per car more to get a loaded
car from Duluth to the \ Z. junction
than it would have cost to take 1t
from Superior. The road is notorious
for this system Of operating lis al
fairs and it is not to be wondered at
that it las for the second time gone
into bankruptcy.
The receivers are Thomas I. Cakes,
Henry c. Payne and Henry c. Rouse,
and it appears that tie roads deficit
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1888
is 1912 ,7t7, and that it VII! not be able
to pay its interest. the sinking fHnd
charges or other obligations. The in
evitable has come. Let us hope that
it may be recognized ana operated on
a different basis in the future.

The President, Message.
From American Economist.

1t was my purpose to summon Congress !
in special session early IN the coming sep
tember. that we might enter promptly upon
the work OF Tariff reform, which the true in
tercsts of the country clearly demand, which /
so large a majority Of the people as shown
by their Sufrra yes. desire and expect. and to
the accomplishment Of which every officer OF
the present Administration Is pledged. But
while Tariff reform has lost nothing Of its
Immediate and permanent Importance. and
must IN the near future engage the attention
Of Congress, it has seemed to me that the IL
nancial condition Of the country should at
once and before all other subjects be consid
cred by your honorable body"
''The foregoing is what President
Cleveland sail on the subject of Tariff
, reform III his message TO Congress.
The President holds that he and his
Cabinet are pledged to the Tariff plank
of the Democratic platform of 1892.
EX-Consul Benjamin Folsom, cousin
of the Democratic President, was right
in his congratulations to the English
manufacturers at Sheffield.
Before another twelve months has
rolled by Sheffield VIII not be subjected
to the OnerouS and oppressive Tariff
duties that have restricted her trade"
/ But before another twelve months
has rolled b." the condition Of Ameri-
can manufacturers and of American
laborers Will be far worse even than it
/ is to-day.
An exhibit published in the New
/ York Press, Just nine months after the
election of Grover Cleveland, shows a
shrinkage Of 1919, III in the values
Of stocks and bonds within that period
! and a depreciation OF *3G3, 5G0, go IL
/ the value Of wheat, corn, oats and cot
! ton, which represents that amount of
money directly lost to American farm
ers since November, 1852.
The bank bearings at 50 cities, as
especially reported to Rradstreet's for
| last month"; show 4 decrease OF $50
SCI 900 in the volume Of trade as com-
pared with the month Of July, 1882.
The President claims that this loss
of nearly @5J1, 1000 Of trade II q sin

billion dollars in the value Of stoci.s

Duluth Commonwealth: Some idea
OF what good could be accomplished by

point may be gathered from the fact
that the ferry Lindrup, which is oper-
ated by the street railway companies

in these dull times, 1900 passengers
per week. 1t is estimated that the
short lines the through trains and the
other ferry boats carry as many more.
DO a little figuring and You'll find that
more than million people would an
huaiiy cross bridge now. Allow
couple of years for the construction of

y man in Superior out of work, if
he has any gimp, may set himself to

Anywhere Oh the outskirts he may
have wood for the cutting. If he is
married he can burn that instead of

can sell 1t to others at a fair if not

Or he may buy three fish hooks for a
cent, a line for four cents, and 90 out

He may eat some of his catch and sell
the remainder.
Or he may gather bushels and bush
