Nicaragua Mission.

ST. PAUL, April 6.-Lewis Baker, the
newly appointed minister to Nicaragua,
San Salvador and Costa RIGA, has left
for Washington, where he goes to con-
fer with leading official of the gov
eminent. Asked by a reporter if he was
not going earlier than he had intended,
he admitted that he was, and said he
had been requested to come as soon as
possible. He did not admit, however,
the he was going down to the capital
city to receive his official instructions,
'for," he said, Il have not concluded to
accept the position. In fact, am de-
cidedly of the opinion that will not do
SO. But regard it as only proper that
I go to Washington and look the field
over from that standpoint. do not
expect to remain in Washington many
days, nor do expect to go to Central
America this summer. Minnesota is
good enough summer resort for me"

The British are trying to work a
little game in the Behring Sea arbi-
tration by working in some new evil
dence in the case, But they were met
with prompt objections from Hon. E.
j. Phelps, consul for the United
States who declared it was a gross in
justice to the United States because
it deprived this country the chance
to adduce rebutting testimony. This
is matter. however, that does not
concern England. She has no care
for the rights of others, but will play
any game for her own advantage, and
bulldcze it through unless closely
watched.

e. S. Warner is one of the incOr-
poratOrS of the st. Paul Auditorium
Co., which has a capital stock of S15,-
900.
We stated month or more ago
that Judge Porter is of the opinion
that his term Of Office does not ex-
pire for a year. Mr.. Shissler will
bring quo waranto proceed
ings to compel Judge Porter to sur
render the office, as both are anxious
to have Judge Severance decide the
question. The attorneys generally
believe that the point made by Judge
Porter is correct, in which case Mr.
Shissler will hold Office for three years,
commencing next year. The point
that Judge Porter has taken his
stand upon is that the act amending
the city charter did not comply with
the constitution and state in it's
title that it was also an act amending
the municipal court act. If Judge
Porter is wrong, then it is the duty of
the council to fix the salary, thing
which he has never asked them to do,
although he might have received a
greater salary. If he is wrong then
the charter also provides that any
citizen is eligible to hold the Office,
and does not require that he should
be man learned in the law.

THE REFORM CLUB AND THE
TARIFF.

alt is said that PresidentCleveland is
inclined to look with approval upon
the tariff measure which has been
prepared by the Reform Club of New
York. This bill proposes to place all
crude raw materials upon the
free list, and with here and
there an exception to adopt
ad yalo1em duties. The duties upon
manufactures are said to afford more
or less protection, though not to an
extent in many Instances to be of any
appreciate benefit to our industrial
system. The excuse given by the Club
for net strictly following the line of
the Chicago platform in this partic-
ular, is that where it has been APP
parent that the largest revenue for
the government would incidentally
result in some protection to the man
ufacturerS, it has not been thought
right to reduce the public revenue
merely for the sake of aboliShing pro-.
lection" But the Chicago platform
ction for it declared the federal
government had no power to impose
and collect tariff duties except for
revenue only" and if these duties
which have not been reduced below a
point where they may afford some lit
tie protection, because they will
yield more revenue than they would
at lower point, then they are serv-
ing another purpose than that of
merely the purpose of revenue only ,"
and according to the Democratic idea
as expressed at Chicago last Juue, en-
body an unconstitutional feature in
the bill.
1t is also said that another feature
of the bill running counter to current
Democrat tic notions is that the duty
upon many articles of luxury is less
than upon some Of the more neceSSar-
les of life. 1t remains to be seen how
Democracy, which has protested
against such a condition Of affairs in
the past, will will excuse this unpar-
dOna1le feature. 1t is also said that
they propose to retain the present
duty upon potatoes, against which the
free trade press launched terrific as
Sault during the past winter, because
of the burdens they Gained it imposed
upon the poor by increasing the price
of potatoes, The Club also proposes
to put specific duty Of 7-l6 of cent
per pound upon raw sugar although
their great cry is that the manufac-
turers here should have free raw ma
terialS.
This bill, or one similar to it enact
ed into law, would increase the i'm
pOrtation of manufactures into this
country by millions of dollars, and so
lessen the demand for home manufac-
lures, and consequently the demand
for labor here, or else it must result
in the placing our wage system upon
the basis of that of Europe, but this
does not worry theoretical gentlemen
who have drawn it up and are
advocating it's enactment. They
seem to labor under the idea that the
larger our importations are the great
er is our prosperity, and will doubt
less never be satisfied I'M til they bring
about such a condition of affairs.

The senate committee of the whole
have recommended the passage of the
new capitol bill by vote of 20 to 49,.
This undoubtedly insures it's passage
and puts Minnesota in the way of hav-
ing a capitol in keeping with it's
needs and at the same time not prove
a burden to the tax payers.

NEW YORK, Jan. Gothic stock mar
Inherent strength to- day and an almost
unbroken series of advances were made
in active stocks. The q market has
for some time responded quickly to in
dications of gold exports, but to. day, In
face of the fact that something over
four millions would go out tomorrow,
exceeding all previous estimates by
about one million dollars, it displayed
little hesitation and finally threw off
the dampening influence entirely and
developed decided strength.
The explanation of this lies only in
the assured ease in money, coupled with
the confidence OF American spectators
in domestic securities, and in spite of
the passive opposition of the foreign
element the upward movement has been
carried on without their help There
was no weakness in the market at any
time, although in the early dealings
there was some hesitation, and late in
the day realizations caused slight set.
