TAECOMlNG MESSAGE
Recommends Unconditional
Repeal Sherman Act.
TARIFF PLEDGES TO BE KEPT.

H. NEW YORK. Aug. THE Worlds
Washington special says: Following is
an authoritative statement regarding
the message which President Cleveland
will send to the two houses of congress
| tomorrow:
He dweIls most particularly upon the
| deplorable condition of the country as
it affects the masses. The banker
and broker and capitalists, he reas-
onS, can take care of themselves,
but the Xorkingmen are practically
helpless when such condition of affairs
as now prevails exists. 70 substantiate
language the actual effect of the
law known as the Sherman act.
now i'll force. lie calls attention
TO the dearth of confidence arising
therefrom. He deals not in theories.
but in facts, to demonstrate the truth or
his assertion that the burden inflicted
upon the country 10y this unwise law
falls most heavily upon the working
man.
1t is for this reason lie believes that
the demand of the country for repeal
is the plain duty of all patri-
otto citizens intrusted with the RESPONSE
bility of government to heed such
demand. Therefore he recommends
unconditional repeal, without hint of
compromise or substitute OF any kind.
There he stops. Whatever might be
his views regarding the future use of
silver as national currency, to be
fixed possibly by we'll considered iegiS-
lation after suitable time shall have
elapsed, he makes no suggestion and
outlines no plan which might meet
with his approval. He confines his rec
Ommendation and directs the attention
of congress solely to the pressing need
of the hour-prompt repeal. He notes
the fact that people in the last elections
made an emphatic demand for revision
and reform in tariff legislation. The
pledges then made must be kept. Bat
since that time an unforeseen eXigency
has arisen, and it must be met and mas
tered.
1t is the plain duty of congress, there
fore, to afford relief to tho country by
placing repeal of the financial statute
ahead of ali other contemplated tegiSla-
ton relating to the tariff or any other
subject.
That is the substance of the message
tits pronounced by members of his cabi-
net, who alone have read it, the ablest
state paper Mr.. Cleveland has ever pro-
dHced. Not the least of its merits is its
breVity. Published in full, as il will be,
OF course, tomorrow, it will fill not more
than two columns.

CAPITOL SITE.

The real estate sharks" of ST. Paul
are Scheming to make fortune out of the
site tor the new capitol. but it won't
work. The Midway district is the
proper place for it.-Sibley County In
dependent.
The state capitol commissioners have
rejected ali bids for a site for the new
capitol building as too high. 1t is prob
able that the whole matter will go over
to the next legislature, when. unless the
present temper of the state changes,
something will be heard to dr0p.-Ap-
pletOn Press.
Since we have ten years and more in
which to build the capitol, we ought to
have at least few months in which to
make proper beginning. Even within
the three-quarters of mile limit i'm
posed by the legislature, if proper time
Is taken, mistakes which may prove
very serious can be avoided. Let US
begin we'll, proceed well, and we shall
end well.-Midway News.
The state capitol commission has been
unable so far to purchase q capitol site,
as the modest ST. Paul land Spectator
insists Oh converting % per cent of the
two million appropriation into his pocket
before parting with title to a suitable
location within the three quarter of a
mile limit. The legislature should never
have handicapped the commission by
such a foolish restriction as the three
quarter of mile limit noDsense.-St.
James Journal.
The ST. PAUL GLOBE very properly
remarks that it Will be time enough TO
criticise the capitol commission for ex-
trayagance in buying a site after they
have bought and paid an unre asonable
price therefor At the same time the
comment of the country press. while
they may be regarded as premature,
have simply indicated the fact that the
people are not i'll a temper to stand

SOCIALISTS FIGHT.
Excitement in the international.
Congress at Zurich.

Excitement in the International
Congress at Zurich.
ZURICH, Aug. 7.-Today's session of
the International Socialists congress
was marked by great deal of excite
ent. First there was heated debate
on the question whether anarchistic and
Independent socialists duly certified
as delegates should be permitted
to attend the congress. Mr.. Ca
han. of the United States, advocated
the exclusion of the French and Dutch
delegates. Finally resolution was car
ried to admit delegates only from soci-
cites recognizing the necessity of the
organization OF labor concurrently with
political action. The adoption of this
resolution, which was tantamount to the
exclusion of the anarchists, led to a
great uproar. The avowed anarchist
delegates positively refused to
withdraw, and several of them
had to be elected by force.
In the midst of the excitement Herr
Landauer, Berlin anarchist, used
stick and precipitated hand-to-hand
fight, in which he was at length over
powered by the Dy-standers. When Or
der had been somewhat restored, the
congress proceeded to the discussion
of the agricultural and other items Oh
the programme. Committees were ap-
pointed, consisting of three representa-
tiveS of each nation, to systematic each
days Agenda. Herr Singer, of Berlin,
was elected chairman of the congress.

AN ANoKA correspondent demurs at
the statement of the GLOBE to the effect
that the United States minis gold dol
lars. This is mere bubble and a play
on tense and syntaX. For more than
hundred years the United States minted
the coin known as a gold dollar. Re-
cent popular demand induced congress
to enact statute prohibiting the mint
ing of so inconvenient and so unpo pular
coin as a gold dollar. But so long as
the United States minis turn out 81. $40
and $40 gold pieces they mint dollars.
and the proportion of grains of gold in
each piece is the same as in the mintage
of the single gold dollar. Yes. the
United States minis gold dollars, and it
minis millions of them.

THE HOME RULE BILL.
IT'S RUSHED RAPIDLY ALONG m The

"A General Stampede Among Con-
seryatiyes During the Consid-
Grafton Of the BilI-Opportuni-
ties for Moving Amendments
We're LOsc-Absent Members
HurriedIy Summoned.
LONDON, Aug. There was consid-
cradle excitement among the Consarya-
tive members who were present at the
opening OF today's session of the house
OF commons. The report stage of the
nome rule bill was reached at an earlier
hour than was expected, and Mr.. Bal
tour, the Conservative leader, who had
an important amendment to offer
10 the bill, was not present to
submit the amendment. Mr. Balfour's
proposed amendment is intended to
prevent the Irish members who shall be
retained IN the imperial parliament from
Young on any questions except motions
tnat are offered to amend the home rule
OIL after the bill shall have become A
law. Inc Conservatives were exceed
lngly DESTROYS OF having the amendment
submitted. George BARLEY, who rep
resents the northern division of Isling-
ton in the Conservative interest. re-
quested to be permitted to act as his
substitute in Offering the amendment.
Speaker Peel ruled that at this stage
substitutes could not be allowed. A
number OF Conservatives, who had
expected that there would be pro-
longed debate on Mr. Baltour's pro-
posed clause, had taken advantage of
their expectations to absent themselves,
intending to be present when notified
that a vote was about to be
taken upon Mr. Balfour's proposal. By
their absence they also lost their chance
OF moving amendments to the bill.
Among those who had important amend
mentS to offer, but who were absent,
were Sir Julian Goldschild, Viscount
Wolmer, Edward Heneage, and Mai,
Gen. GOldSworthy.
Search was made for them. INT thew
could not be found. A number of
clauses were then proposed by other
members of the opposition, but the
speaker ruled them out on the ground
that the notice had not been given OF
their submission, or that the proposals
did not comply with the rules of the
house.
The Unionists stood aghastl as they
saw the report sweeping through with
lightning speed. Their fright was
allayed. however, when James Parker
Smith liberal UnionisU. member for
the Patrick division of Laharkshire.
after having eight new clauses proposed
by him ruled out, obtained the speakers
sanction to move that the boundary
commission under the bill be instructed
to inquire as to the better division Of
the Irish electoral districts.
The debate on this motion was taken
up, and this gave the opposition time to
breathe. The Conservative and Lib
al-UniOnist whips we're at once dis
patched i'll search of the absentees to
summon them to immediate attendance
at the house.
Messrs. Balfour and Heneage and
other members of the opposition ap-
peared i'll the house in time to take part
IN the debate on MIR. Smiths motion.
Eventually the motion was defeated by
a vote of 1876 to 152.
Barker Smith moved two further
clauses, dealing with elections in Ire
land. After some debate each clause
was rejected. one by majority of ~,
the other by majority of 40.

FALSE FIGURES.

There must be something radically
wrong in commercial agencies which
purvey financial news to the country
when they give out false figures, or esti-
mates of bank clearances to the detri-
ment of certain cities. A correspondent
of the GLOBE inquiries pertinentIy as
follows:
EDITOR GLOBE: Is there not some
thing wrong in the estimate "S0.1 de-
crease" in st. Paul bank clearings, as
just published? Ali papers seem to
have these reports alike. but SOL addi-
tlonal, or rather. an amount from which
SOL deducted would equal S3.G47, 400, is
more, l think, than St. Paul has shown.
offer this for what it may be worth.
There is something radically wrong
III the above statement, and the fact
that it appears simultaneously in all the
papers, removes all blame from the
proofreader of any one paper. The av-
erage bank clearances of st. Paul
banks for 1892 were 50, ASS, 1926. The
average for the past seven months has
been, despite the monetary stringe+lcy
and consequent loss OF business. s., 047,-
5000, or approximately what is stated
by the GLOBE correspondent. 1t Will
be readily seen that decrease of so per
cent would bring the average bank
clearances of st. Paul down to 81, ia
172.66, whereas, a simple mathematical
process will show that the actual de-
crease will not vary far from ~ per
cent.
Why the various commercial agencies
should thus, apparently, conspire to
saddle st. Paul, which today stands
pre-eminent among the cities of the
Union as sound. solid and substantial,
financially, with almost an increase of
30 per cent over its actual decrease of
bank clearances, passes the under
standing of tair-minded business men.
Let the commercial agencies which
purVey news to the people tell the
truth.
