hands in one of the lines and began a
fierce struggle with the powerful fish
securely hooked at the other end. The
man was sinewy and muscular, but the
fish was strong too. Back and forth
it dashed, now diving until the line
stretched straight down into the green
depths beneath the boat and then throw
ing its great, shining, beautiful body
half dozen feet into the air, lashing the
waters into silvery spray. But the fish
lacked the willy experience of tho fisher
man, and SO slowly, slowly, hand over
hand, the line was drawn in, until at last
the gasping head was lifted clear Of the
water beside the boat. Then another Of
the men lent a hand, and the fish was
aboard and lay sullen upon the deck.
He was inches over feet long, game
to the core and every inch gentle
man. And then came another and an
other and another in quick succession.
The wind was down the coast, and the
boat made a succession of sharp tacks,
lodging now far out into the sea and
then back again, while the water grew
rough under the touch Of the freshening
breeze, and it was with difficulty that
we could keep our feet.
Two hours more, and daylight began
to break, but still we fished on, and the
gasping mass in the bottom Of the boat
came half way to our boot tops. Then
as the dawn frightened we could begin
to see the fish when they rose from the
depths OF the green. waters to take the
hooks, sometimes dozen of them trail
ing along behind the tempting bait
doubtfully, until one or two would dart
forward and snap. Many times two or
three would be hooked at once, and
twice we were hauling in all four of the
lines at the same time.
Suddenly at 3 o'clock, when we were
10 miles up the coast and 6 miles from
land, the barracuda stopped biting, and
the Greeks hauled in the lines. 'tNo
more today" they said. Barracuda no
bite now till morning" and the boat was
put about and headed toward home.
We had done we'll enough. In the bot
tom OF the boat lay 81 silvery beauties,
some quite 8 feet long, others not over
10 inches, altogether more than quar-
ter OF ton of fish. We were content to
SIT quietly down and watch the dancing
waters until, with the sun falling low in
the west, we drifted calmly with the
late tide into the shelter of the bay,

There appears to be some foundation
for the reports of differences between
RICHARD CROKER and Senator DAVID
3. HILL. Mr.. CROKER refuses to either
deny or confirm the reports, but it is
we'll authenticated that he has eX-
pressed vigorous disapproyal of some of
Senator HILLS recent actions. Hay
ing sent Mir. HILL to Washington, Mr..
CROKER apparently considers that the
senator should stay there during the
session, and leave the manipulation of
the New York Democratic organization
to him. Mr.. HILL, however, has no no.
ton Of Indicating the power he welded
from Albany simply because his head
quarters are now at Washington. Prob
ably compromise will be effected which
will restore harmony between these
hitherto closely allied leaders; but if
conflict is inevitable it is better that it
should come now, when there is no bat
tie. either municipal, state or national,
to be fought with the common enemy.
A measuring OF strength between
HILL and CROKER would furnish one of
the most interesting episodes in the his
tory of American politics. Hull is far
the ADLER man of the two in all the
qualities that go to make the statesman.
He has been given the highest honors at
the disposal of the Empire state, and he
has led the Democracy of that state to
successive victories, each more brilliant
than those preceding. But it is doubt
full if Hills popularity could stand
against CRoKER's power RICHARD
CROKER is the Warwick of New York
politics. He cannot be king, but he is
kingmaker. He has displayed more
astuteness and sagacity in political ma
neuvering than JOIN KELLY ever DOS
sessed.and he has given Tammany Hall
an influence greater than it ever ex-
erted under the KELLY regime. 1t is
probable that DAVID B. HML's brill
liant abilities aud brilliant services

MOTIFS LITTLE BOY.

Senator Mott traded off the Alliance
party for 50 job for his little sixteen
year-old son. Better for him that the
boy, or the party, had never been born,
presumably the latter. Norwood
Times.
Senator Mott, whose son was very in
strumental in the organization OF the
senate by the Republicans, is one Of the
three Alliance members who went into
the Republican camp. He will certainly
have a Notified record when he finishes
his term of office.-Sauk Center Ava
lanche.
Senator Mott, of our neighboring
county of Lincoln, has earned for him
self an unenviable reputation. Elected
two years ago as an Alliance man, he
remained with that party as long as it
was popular. That party being showed
under, he invites the Republicans in
the senate to kill the fatted calf for
him. Necessity prompts them to accept
his invitation, and the fatted calf is
for Motifs boy. Verify, in his coat OF
many colors. the politician and office-
seeker is Jewel to be proud of.-Slay-
ton Gazette.

nicely in our state senate. True, Motifs

That the CARNEGIES get all the bene-
fit there is in the tariff, which projects

pig-and their rails. The price of the
pig has fallen from an average Of SIS

the December price being $3.50, while
the price of rails has remained station
airy at $50 per ton for twentythree

wages. SO per cent increase in hours of

CLINGs TO PROTECTION.
Mckinley Still Cherishes His
False God.e

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 13.-Gov. Nc
Kinley, in an address before the Ohio
State Wool Growers association last
night, made his first public utterance
on the results of the election and the
policy of the Republican party in the
future. Among other things he said:
Il do not know what will happen to
the wool growers under the legislation
that will come in with the new admins
tratlon. i do not, however, believe in
giving up the fight after one engage
ment and one defeat. The wool grow
ers have had it their own way every
time since 1867, and more than once
have demonstrated their power in Ohio.
l do not believe in free raw material. l
do not believe in having commodities
free at one end of the factory and tar
iffed at the other end. You are en-
titled to the highest protection and you
should express that conviction in every
possible way. l am here to say that in
my opinion the great policy of protec-
ton is the true policy, and L believe
that it is just as dear to the American
people as it was ever before. l am
rather inclined to think that the Demo-
cratic members of congress are commit
ted to free wool, but Ohio is not COM
mitted to free wool. You are In the
most critical period Of this great indus
try. don't know how you feel about
it, but have not lost any of my cOur-
age"

STATE PRESS TIPS.

G. K. Davis has received the caucus
nomination, ana will undoubtedly be-
sent back to the United States senate by
the Republicans of the present legiS-
lature Too bad to have a state that
elected low tariff governor represented
in congress by high tariff senator. Yet
such is the case, and the party lash will
not allow any of the lawmaking body to
escape the terrible ordeal.-NorWood
Times.
But little folly now and then is rel
ished by the WiSeSt men, and the notion
of publishing state legislative record
in imitation of the Congressional Rec
ord. contains sufficient folly to season
several sessions of wiser men than ever
met at st. Paul. The committee that are
considering that notion should hold
their session after adjournment the day
before the last Of the session. Red

pin delegation for speaker of the house

Now if Donnelly will only liven up

Senator Hompe proposes in bill that
the state shall go into the elevator bust
ness, by investing 100000 in elevators
at Duluth, to be operated by state en-

state elevators prove a cure? 1t were
better to pass stringent and effective
laws for the control of those now in eX
istence.- st. Cloud Times.
The next great move of the Farmers
Alliance will be flop into the ranks of
the Republican party. The annual con-
yention held in Minneapolis last week
reelected Ignatius Donnel!y president
and then struck out from the conStitu-
ton the clause which favored reduc-
ton of the tariff to a business basis.
The Alliance has stricken out the best
feature of its constitution. Alliance
stump speeches will now be confined to
2 per cent money and lots of it.-Scott

ADAMNABLE DISGRACE.

This is about what the Pioneer Press,
the organ of the party of Self-claimed
high morality and virtue, pronounee5
the Republican Steerers on the senate
rial imbroglio of Republican members
of this Republican Legislature to be.
That paper, which claims to be we'll in
formed on the subject, declares there is
conspiracy within the Republican ranks,
formed for the purpose of defeating by
unlawful means, by corruption, by brl-
berry, by purchase with bankers cash,
the votes of Republican members of the
legislature for the defeat of the Repub-
lican nominee for the United States
senate. 1t holds up to public scorn
those who are engaged in this conspir-
acy to br:be and corrupt, and 1T warns
Republican members who may accept
the wages of their debasement that
they cannot afford to- so act as
to deserve to be branded for
ever with the damning infamy" of
their acts. This is not all; but so Sc
riouS has the case become, SO imminent
is the danger that corruption shall sap
the very foundations of the Republican
edifice, and destroy all Republican dis
cipline in this legislature, that it feels
it necessary ito warn the mon who have
consented to play the despicable part of
the tools Of these conSpiratOrs that they
are well known and Watched" and 1t
commends to them the perusal of the
following extract from section 80 of the

Mr.. Cleveland and His Family in

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Jan. 13.-PreSi-
dent-eIect Cleyeland arrived this even
ing. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Cleveland. Baby Ruth and the latter's
nurse They were driven at once to
the Little White House." as their cot
tage is now called. With the possible
exception of a few days i'll New York
city the party will remain here until
they start for Washington. Mr.. Cleve-
land, it is said, will not receive political
callers here. but attend to them at his
New York office.
Quite number of the cottagers and
hotel guests had assembled at the sta
ton to greet the family. After speak
ing to some close acquaintance MIR.
Cleveland, in company with Park Com
missioner Nathan Strauss, started in
private carriage that awaited them.
Alongside of the carriage stood sleigh.
"It you prefer taking a ride in the
Sleigh said Mr.. Freeman, 81 will be
pleased to send you over" MIR. Cleveland
looked around to Mrs. Cleveland. Be-
fore he could ask what she preferred
she had replied to Mr.. Freeman's invi-
tation by saying that sleigh riding in
Lakewood was not to be had every day,
and that the best thing to be done was
to take advantage of it while it lasted.
That's a good idea," replied MI
Cleveland. The nurse and baby were
put into the carriage and Mrs. CleVe-
land into the sleigh.
The Cleveland family, in leaving New
York, endeavored to attract as little at
tention as possible, and for that reason
each Of the three members OF the family
left by ditferent ferry. The first to
make the trip across the river was the
nurse and Miss Ruth. Mrs. Cleveland
followed OH the next boat. Mr. CleVe-
land, in company with Mr.. Freeman.
came across last on the $40 boat. The
party had seats in the regular parlor car,
although a private one was offered
them. Fronr-the railroad station the
family were taken to the Lake
wood hotel cottaee, where every
thing was III readiness for them,
the servants having preceded
the family by several hours. Mr.. Cleve-
land said that he had to come to Lake
wood for quiet and rest. and that he
would not be bothered with politicians.
All mail sent him, he said, would be re-
addressed to his New York office, which
he would visit about two or three times
a week. Up to O'clock the only caller
at the cottage was Mr.. Strauss, who
called to see if everything was comfort
able. The cottage is but a stones throw
from the Lakewood hotel. which, in all
probability, will be the headquarters
for all politicians that persist in intrud-
ing upon the family while here.

PATERNAL SENATOR HoMPE.

It is evident that when Senator
HOMPE moved out Of the Republican
party he took with him the paternaliStic
conception of government which is that
party's prime motor. 1t is apparent
that his dissatisfaction with his party
was only because it was not disposed to
extend Its paternal interference i'll the
business of the people to the farmers.
but drew the line at the manufacturers.
The senator typifies that element of the
deserving Republicans In these new Or
carnations which the GLOBE recently
described as advanced Republicans
men who admit that it is the proper
function of the government to build up
interests, but dissent from the Repub-
licans as to where the building up shall
stop.
There is another element In the
movement which went into the revolt
because they had learned at last that
class legislation is always vicious. its
benefits limited to a few, its injury
covering the many. AS farmers they
left their party because it was commit
ted to class legislation. This class sees
that, to Justify its course. to preserve
its standing for honesty of purpose, 1t
must resist class legislation, even when
it is III its own interests. If it repudi-
ates the right of the state to aid the
ironmakerS, it must also deny its right
to aid the wheat and wool growers. Ii
it objects to being taxed to build up or
better the conditions of the cotton
weavers, it must not ask that others be
taxed to help it.
The senator from Otter Tail is plainly
not of this latter class. His quarrel
with the party he recently abjured
plainly is that 1t refused to exercise its
paternallSm in behalf of the farmers,
maintaining that they should be con-
tent with the incidental benefit OF the
home market He proposes now that
the state shall embark in the warehouse
ing business, constructing elevators,
maintaining sample rooms, soliciting
sales of wheat. He proposes that the cost
of this shall be borne by the taxpayers Of
the state, without regard to whether
they are engaged in farming or not. He
starts with one elevator at Duluth, in
which he would invest $50, 900, but this
is clearly insufficient. To make the
scheme successful there must be ele-
vator capacity to store many million
bushels. But it is not the details OF his
scheme against which the GLOBE pro-
tests as a representative of Democracy.
1t is to the vicious. paternalistic princi-
pie OH which this and all other such
plans rest. Instead of continuing or
augmenting present false conditions,
the right way is to clear them away and
then let things alone.

SOARING AT SHADOWS.

The Pioneer Press is disturbed be-
cause the legislative Democratic caucus
adjourned last night to meet at the call
of the chairman. 1t thinks this action
has an evil portent for the Republican
nominee for the senate. Possibly. If
any large number of Republican men,
bers of the legislature are, as that paper
strongly believes, corrupt enough to
sell their votes to another Republican,
Notwithstanding their personal and
party pledges Of support to their nom
inee, it is possible that the Democrats
may need to come together again for
consultation. That paper must not eX-
pect the Democrats to be idle. and unin-
terested spectators of this beautiful,
even if disgusting and corrupting, Re-
publican quarrel. Is the Pioneer scar ed
at a shadow?
