That the democrats should dislike the far
mers as class is not unnatural: for the
farmers, largely constituting the intelligence
and stability Of the country, are mostly re
publicans. and the substantial majorties
which they roll up are troublesome for
the democrats to overcome One in
dicaton of this democratic hatred of
the farmers of the North is to be found
in the manner in which the new tariff
bill discriminateS against his products and
in favor of the agricultural products of the
soldly democratic South, Another proof
Of this annnosity is to be found in the
startling proposition of the democratic adj
minstration to sweep away the agricultural
experiment stations which have been estab-
lished in various States and Territories, and
thus to destroy the system which has been
in process Of development for the past thirty
years
The policy of encouraging agricultural
and technical education rs well rs the cult
walton of military knowledge in the various
States had its origin IL the passage of the
now famous college land grant act Of which
our own Senator Morrill, was the father, and
by the terms Of which I $50, 900 acres of

A Reluctant Witness.

memory 1t denies that anybody cover

of the tariff, but the statement was so gen
orally made by democratic stump orators in
the last campaign in the larger cities that it
is entirely unnecessary to quote their words

ing to show that tho removal OF duties will

in which the Vermont farmer is Interested;
and we would like to inquire whether dur
ing the past year or even in the past few
weeks the esteemed contemporary has heard
or read the claim that the removal Of the
duty on coal would give New England
cheaper coal
The Rctormer also completely ignored the
chief point raised against its position, and
again we ask. ii the tariff duties on Vermont
farm products and coal do not affect the
prices of these products why are those duties

the Wilson tariff bill The Reformer should

Some of these senators, now that the
bill is made public, pointcdly state
that they will oppose it. II is de
cided moreover that when the bill
shall reach the Senate, it is to be treated as
an independent proposition and an inves
tigation is TO be made by the committee on
finance wholly regardless of the investiga-
ton which has been made already in the
House
1t is very likely, therefore, that this
committee will find many points in which
they will differ from the ways and means
committee of the House, and it is not inn
probable that when the present bill reaches
the president for his approval it will be a

A BOTTLE OF PORTER
Contained Poison for Mother and
Daughter.


BOsToN, Nov. 9.-The mystery sur
rounding the tragic deaths of Mrs.
Hannah Toole and her daughter Mar
garet, at their home in South Boston
last night, after partaking Of
bottle OF porter. has added hor-
ror tonight, Once more the silent
hand of death entered the home of
this once happy family of nine and
claimed the father at q O'Clock tonight.
There were four of the family present
at the bedside of the dying man.
These we're Joseph, John, Patrick
and Annie. Stephen, Michael and
Minnie were confined at station six,
charged with the murder of the mother
and Margaret, whose bodies lie at
the city hospital morgue. The
father passed away, never knowing that
his wife and daughter had gone before.
He had been confined to his bed at the
home for months suffering from an in
durable malady. Wednesday night he
had been watched by his wife and
daughter Margaret, and at9 o'clock he
fell off into a sound sleep and
bedside and went into another
room. In the room which they entered
was son, Michael. He was sent for
bottle Of porter, the drinking of which
caused the death of Mrs Tooie and
Margaret. The report of the medical
examiner shows that there was cyanide
of potash enough in the stomach OF the
two to kill forty men.

BRAVE MEN NEEDED.

God hates towards, and so do all
manly men. Of all species of coward
ice the most despicable, the most rep
rehensible, is that which fears to take
a decided position upon moral ques-
tions-QuestlonS that involve the well
fare Of the cOmmunity-that is ever
paltering, ever compromising, ever par
leying with wrong.
One of the chief sources Of weakness
in the Democratic party is the coward
ice of many of those who assume it's
leadership. In discussing a question
they seldom consider its moral bearings.
All they ask is: Will this or that course
be popular? Will it be polite? On
questions of finance and taxation there
is little difference of opinion on moral
grounds. All admit that the country
needs a sound currency, which shall
circulate in every part Of the civilized
world. But fear of giving offense to a
few mine owners and few spectators
and cranks long delayed the settlement
of the silver question, and brought much
suffering upon the country, besides
arousing in the minds of the people a
doubt of the honesty and patriotism of
their senators. Fear of offending
the manufacturers is apparently
impairing the sense of Justice
In the committee on ways and
means, which has been charged
with the revision of the tariff du.
ties. They fear to reduce the duties
on manufactured goods lest they ffend
those whose Golfers are filled by moneys
extorted from the consumers. They tear
to repeal the sugar bounty. lest the
planters of Louisiana and Alanama
shall be offended. They fear to replace
the tax on the necessaries of life by a
tax on the luXuries through fear of Of
Tending the rich who indulge in these
luxuries. There is great danger that
this cowardice will result in nothing
being done to lessen the burdens of the
community.
There is greater danger to be feared
from coWardice in this matter than
from too great zeal in reducing taxa.
ton. 1t goes without saying that 6
temporary injury will be wrought by
any change in our system of taxation.

THE STATE CAPITOL.

In few years the state will be split
in two, between the forty-fifth and
forty-sixth parallels, and the capital for
the southern half will be moved to
Nicollet county, when the city of st.
Paul can buy the new building and site
for an auditorium.-Mankato Weekly
Ledger.
The capitol commission is the recip-
lent of red-hoJ roaSts from papers
throughout the state for its action in
eXpending S275,000 of the peoples
money for new site for state house.

and say What are you going to do
ABOUT it?"-Granite Falls Tribune.
A site should have been donated by

and this evident attempt to make a fat
picking at the expense of the taxpayers
at large may prove the entering wedge
which will split up the whole transac-
tion.-Benson Times.
The location is doubtless as good as
could be selected within the city. The
area of the site is more than double that
of the present site and. the elevation is

WHEN WILL WRIGHT RESIGN?

st. Paul has at last caught a supposed
murderer. They are so elated over the
fact that they may turn him loose in
order to see him run. -Crookston Daily
Times.
The resident of the Twin cities who
hasn't been slugged. held up, or even
chased. by some industrious highway
man, feels hurt nowadays and goes
away by himself and sulks.-Le Sueur
News.
1t looks to man up the tree as if the
police force of both st. Paul and Min
neapolis are either incompetent, INSULT
cient in numbers, or else they are in
league with the thieves and thugs for
the purpose of bringing the administra-
ton into discredit.-Mcrrls Tribune.
Mayor Eustls, of Minneapolis, recon-
mends the use of bloodhounds for the
detection of criminals in that city. The
idea is really not bad one and we
would recommend its adoption to the
