There is very industrious know
nothing element at work throughout
Wisconsin spreading the organization
known as the " A. p. A." which is os-
tensibly aimed against Catholics alone,
and the twin organization known as
the patriotic sons of America, which
goes step farther and proposes to put
the political stiletto of a secret ballot
into every candidate for office who is
not an American by birth. Voters of
intelligence need only to turn to the
knoW-nothing period in the forties
to find the models for this kind of
sneaking politics.-LaCrosse Chronicle.
The know-nothing spirit, in what
ever form it manifests itself, should be
discountenanced by all good citizens.
While it can never be popular in free
and enlightened America, it may SO
actuate few persons in each COM
munity as to cause a great deal of
mischief generally. The "a. p. A."
or American Protective Association
and the Patriotic Sons of America, SO
called are utterly antagonistic to the
true American spirit-the spirit that
has made the country great and glor-
ious. Their political mischief is to lie
all the more feared because it is done
In the dark.

The over-crowded condition of the
great business streets of Chicago is
becoming serious. The Herald OF
Tuesday says:
Some means will have to be found
for handling the constantly increasing
crowds in the downtown district. The
corners where the cable cars turn are
especially dangerous, and particularly
so to the visitors from out of town,
who are unaccustomed to lodging
street cars and cabs. The street rail
way companies have placed men at
the worst of these corners and the
police are doing all they can to keep
people out of danger, but their task is
growing heavier every day, and sooner
or later there will be wholesale kill
ing 1t is difficult to suggest remedy
for the present condition of things,
but as the crowds are likely to in
crease rather than to diminish it might
be we'll to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
erecting temporary viaducts over the
streets at the dangerous corners.
These structures need not be expen-
siye and could be removed after the
worlds fair rush is over. Certainly
something will have to be done to
lessen the danger to pedestrians, who
now risk sudden death every time
they cross the streets in the business
district.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, which is
strong republican newspaper, but
which does not allow its partisanship
to blind its vision as to the financial
condition, says:
The New York bank statement of
Saturday makes still another long
stride in the improvement of financial
conditions. A few weeks ago their
reserve was about $17,00O,0OO below
the legal requirement of Is per cent.
Now it is nearly $3,000,OOO above that
limit. These figures tell their own
story. They have only now to get rid
of their clearing house certificates to
be in condition to meet all demands
upon them for business accommodate
ions. AS these are only used to settle
bank balances they will disappear al
most as rapidly as they are issued.

The ways and means committee are
giving public hearings daily to repre-
sentative manufacturers and others
interested in the preparation of a new
tariff bill. The following is an ex-
preston from the Reform club in re-
gard to these hearings:
We think it was mistake to grant
public hearings, not only because they
will delay for some time the prepare
ton and perhaps also the passage Of a
tariff bill which should be put into oper-
alton at the earliest possible moment
both for the good of the country and of
the Democratic party-but also because
they are far more likely to mar rather
than add to the consistency and equality
of the bill. Past hearings have given the
committee ample data upon which to
base bill. The hearings are probably
not given that the committee may gain
new light, but that it may avoid the
charge of unfairness by not giving some
manufacturers and importers chance
to air their claims. For it is these and
only these intensely interested classes
that have heretofore appeared before the
committee to tell it what is best for
themselves and therefore for the country.
In past congresses it has been consist
ent to give these hearings because it was
intended to make a bill in favor of the
manufacturers. OF course, then the
manufacturers must be consulted. Now
the bill is to be made for revenue only
and i'll favor of the people. Why then
go through the farce of public hearings
at which it is almost certain no one will
appear who has not an ak to grind? 1t
will give the lobby an opportunity to
find out the weakness of the individual
members, and as in the past will enable
corruption funds to be placed where they
will secure special legislation and defeat
the good ends aimed at by the Demo-
Gratis.
Now, however, that it has been de-
cided to grant hearings, the committee
should make certain that it does not
waste precious time listening to long,
irrelevant and probably lying statements
from selfish interests. 1t should permit
no one to occupy its time who does not
first testify that he appears before the
committee, not in his own selfish in
terests mainly, but in the interests of the
masses of consumers and producers.
The wish of the people has been clearly
expressed, and it is against the fraud
protection. Why then give the protected
classes cause for expecting that they are
to continue to receive special considera-
ton at the hands of legislators? For once
let impartial and even handed justice be
done all classes.
If the bill proves to be a good one,
it will be all the stronger for having
been framed in spirit Of fairness to
all interests.

With the evident purpose OF
causing the Provisional govern
ment of Hawaii at least temporary
discomfort, Claus Spreckels has re-
auested the payment of loan of
S95. 900, made by him some time
ago. Much to the astonishment OF
the royalists the government was
not at all disturbed and the proba-
bilities are that by this date the
money has been returned. This
condition of affairs-most gratify-
ing TO those who favor the estab-
lishment of free and enlightened
power TO rule in the Hawaiian
islands-has been practically de-
MED by some Of the correspondents
who oppose annexation, and realiz-
ing that misleading statements
were probable, the Honolulu Con-
MERCIAL ADVERTISER makes en-
phatic denial without waiting for
the charges to appear. 1t says:
''We wish TO state distinctly that
the Provisional government
is perfectly solvent and self
sustaining. At no time since the
overthrow of the monarchy has
the government been better equip
ped with financial resources and
organized military and police aid
to preserve peace and quiet than it
is today and viii be tomorrow"
Then, touching upon the question
of the loan, it goes on to say that |
''the somewhat sudden demand |
made upon the government few
days ago by the Spreckels bank |
for the payment of notes of the
postal savings bank, amounting to
$95, 900 has not affected the fnan-
ciai standing of the government in
the least; on the contrary it has
proved the government has friends
and resources such as perhaps will
prove a disagreeable surprise to
Mr.. Spreckels and the royalists.
What is more, the earnest and lib
eral support thus far given the
Provisional government is being
daily increased, so that by far the
larger part of the foreign and ma
tive elements are now its cordial
supporters. s."-Washington Star.

SUICIDE OF THE AGGREssOE
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

PORTLAND, March 25.-Conrad J. Smith.
bookkeeper for Levy, Spirgl & Co., was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded about 80
o'clock tonight at the corner of Third and
Alder streets by c. A. Cove. real esta te
dealer. Cove then blew his own brains out.
The men were standing on the corner. in-
dulging in a heated conversation, when
suddenly Cove drew a revolver from his
pocket and began firing. When Smith saw
Cove reach for his weapon he started 20
run. Goye's aim, however, was accurate.
and he hit Smith in the back, the ball lodg-
ing in the abdomen. After firing two shots
at Smith he turned the weapon to his own
head and fired. He fell and died in a short
time.
The street was crowded at the time, and
the shooting drew an immense crowd TO the
scene. Smith was taken to the hospital aud
Gove's body to the morgue. The deed was
premeditated. as a large knife was found on
the body of the dead man. He left state
ment accusing Smith of assaulting his wife
several years ago. Mrs. Cove is "a we'll
known teacher in the public schools of this
city. and about ten years ago she was elected
County School Superintendent. The Su-
pTeme Court held that she was not eligible,
and her husband was appointed to the
position.
TIE shooting created a profound sensa-
tion, and was the principal topic of con-
versation on the streets.
