Now that the Sherman law is re-

the merry work of foreclosure goes on.
Northwest News.
Wheat is still sick. The Sherman re-

jamestown Alert.
1t was as certain as anything could be

One was as unreasonable as the other.

This is one of the odd features of the
gold bond basis. The fellows who hold

The foundation is now solid. and
whatever prosperity is built upon it will
be permanent. People who have little
money now need not be afraid to launch
out in any legitimate nterprise.-Fargo

The Alliance of two years ago was

Prohibition may prohibit, but its pro-
| hibitory nature is of such evanescent,
ethereal, imaginary character that its
substance fades into thin air. on ap-
proach. In theory prohibition waxeth
great, and is not cast down; in practice
it siumps like the wheat market after
siIuer repeal.-Jamestown Alert.
North Dakota has received twenty
two awards in the agricultural exhibits,
thirteen in the educational. eleven for
women's work and two in the forestry
exhibit, says the Forum. Ten of the
agricultural awards were for wheat,
| xxyI,i sd afh 1
The press Of the state generally assumes
that no awards were received for wheat
and ridicule the forestry awards. The
awards were not great in number for
wheat because the entries by individu-
ais were few, and the awards were for
collective EXHIBITS. Their value is in
the language of the dipioma-not in the
number of medals.

Row Over the Wine Awards.

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-The foreign COM
missloners have informed John Boyd
Thatcher, commissioner of awards. that
unless he at once allows the verdict
of the jury Judging wines TO stand.
they will at once withdraw all
their goods from competition. The jury
in its work denOminated many OF the
exhibits as fair" meaning that the
word should carry with it an award.
Mr.. Thatcher Informed the jury that he
would issue no award where the word
fair had been applied, no matter
what had been the original intention
of the jury. lie then appointed
committee of Chicago liquor dealers to
90 over the wine awards second time.
The foreign commissioners declare that
they will not submit to second Judg-
ment, and, unless awards are issued on
the verdict of the first jury, they want
no awards at all.

AN INCOME TAX.

OF course, an income tax is class leg
islation. 1t is difficult to collect and
easy to evade. 1t may be doubted
whether the country will approve of it.
Chicago Record.
Whether the income tax will be
adopted seems to depend, after the
president has spoken, on the relative
strength of the sections. The South
has the MISUNDERSTANDING Journal.
Without straining the arg ument. it
may easily be seen that there is much
room to doubt whether such tax as the
one proposed would yield enough to
make it fairly proftable.-NeW York
Tribune.
An income tax offers a compromise
and truce between tariff reform and Nc
KInleyism. Hence the eagerness with
which it is seized upon by the weak and
timid as a means of evadlng the pledges
of the election of 1892. -Philadelphia
Record.
aThe Evening News is by no means
disposed to admit the wisdom of impos-
ing an income tax under existing con-
ditionS, it is proper that the ground
shout be cleared of misconceptions at
the outset and the question met upon it's
real merits. Washington News.
1t is much to be questioned if this is a
good time for the adoption OF extraordi-
nary eXpedientS for raising the neceS-
sary revenues, least of all by methods
that would speedily become ten-fold
more odious than the borrowing of
money on gold bonds. - Washington
Post.
The tariff reformers will do we'll to
divorce the income tax measure from
the tariff measure; for the former, if
pressed to the front. is likely to smother
the question of the tariff nearly or quite
as effectually as it was smothered by
the silver question OF the last few
monthS.-Chicago Record.
The income tax proposition, which is
favored by many Democrats, will en-
counter powerful opposition if it is pre-
sented. Three-fourths of the Republi-
cans and more than third Of the DEM
ocrats are reasonably sure to oppose it,
and it is safe to say that the president
will be on their side. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Of course it will be unpopular on the
class on whom it is levied. No such
thing was ever invented as popular
tax unless 1t was a tax on somebody
else. Tariff taxes are popular with the
wealthy, because they compel the
poorer citizen to pay the wealthy mans
equitable share of taxation. The in
come tax abolishes that. = Pittsburg
Post.

To tIa Editor of the Globe

Bit of Wholesome Advice to a
Railroad Corporation.
To the Editor of the Globe.
A case occurred in the Minnesota
valley the other day that shocked the
chlvalrous instincts of every man that
witnessed it. A mother with sick
child in her arms, and the rest of her
brood of young ones hanging to her
skirts, was challenged by the railroad
brakeman to show her ticket before en-
tering the car. The child was bundled
close to the anxious mothers breast,
one shawl covering both. To comply
with the brutal demand she had to drop
a bundle, uncover and expose the child
to the chill north wind, while she, par
TALLY confused and wholly frightened,
fumbled around for her ticket. 1t was
All outrage, and the dozen or more pas
sengers who stood Shiveringly by await
ing their turn for exposure muttered
anything but complimentary remarks
about a corporation that could be so
wantonly and unnecessarily cruel. The
demand TO stand in the rain or the
storms of winter and inhibition your
wraps to crafty despotic caprice OF a
railroad corporation is as unlawful as it
is un-Amerlcan, and arOuseS the resent
ment of every manly man. Come, gentle
men of the railroad, be fair. Let up a
little. You have wives and children,
mothers and sisters. For their sake.
and for humanity's, don't be brutes.

THE ROBBER TARIFF.

The revision is nothing more than
step in the direction of even-handed
Justice, and a more equal distribution
OF the burdens of taxation Toledo
Bee.
We condemn free trade as an imprac-
ticable theory, which has never been IN
dorsed by tie Democratic party. and we
propose to stand OH the principles of
historic Demoeracy.-CIe veland Plain
Dealer.
The Democratic members of the ways
and means committee have the honor
to invite the Republican members to a
private view OF the new tariff bill. 1t
may be Interesting to them as connois-
seurs.-Chicago Evening Post.
IL is virtually important that the Dem
ocracy lose no time in dealing with the
tariff. To avoid this error, they must
first act upon principle, and not be
sweryed from that line by local clamor.
And then they must act promptly
Boston Herald.
The tariff thinkers are worried by the
Alabama Democrats. who demand pro-
lection for their iron ore; by the Louisi-
ana b emocrats, who wish sugar pro-
tected, and by West Virginia Demo-
Gratis, who clamOr for protection of their
soft coal.-New York Recorder.
The announcement that the tariff bill
is now practically completed, and that
it will be given to the public in a few
days. is good news. Industry wants to
know just what SORT of an assault is
going to be made on it by the Demo-
cratic party, and it wants to know this
Just as soon as possible.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
1t is to be hoped that the committee
on ways and means will stand firm
against the opportunities and threats of
monopolles, and special and local inter
ests, which are now pleading for a
continuation of special protection, and
for the perpetuation of the Mckinley
idea of taxation of the people for the
privilege and benent Of classes Kansas
City Times.
We believe that when the Southern
manufacturers fully present their case.
it will be found that all they ask for is
fair treatment. They want fair chance
in fair field, with no exceptional
duties or Juggling free list that will
have the effect of the OLD class legisla-
| ton which, under the Mckinley system,
has helped few favored monopolies at
| the expense OF others.-Atlanta ConSti-
| tuition.

THE IOWA LYNCHING.

Tuesdays lynching at Ottumwa, To-,
was, in strictly legal and moral sense,
iudefensiDle. And yet the citizens who
participated in it will have many de-
Tenders and apologists, and the act
itself Will be approved by many good
citizens who recognize the inadequacy
of the law IN dealing with such offend.
ers, and the inefficiency of the courts to
punish crime according to its deserts.
The otfense for which Fred Gustave-
sen suffered death at the hands of
mob was the most horrible known to the
law. A child-almost an infant-was
brutally outraged and mutilated, and
left to die by the inhuman brute. His
punishment was swift, terrible and de-
served. Yet it was an outrage upon the
law, and those who participated in the
execution rendered themselves liable to
prosecution and punishment for muir
der.
The law provides no punishment
adequate for such crimes. At most, the
perpetrator can be confined in the peni-
Tertiary for brief term of years. In a
majority Of cases the youth of the victim

precludes her from giving testimony
against her assailant, and. as conse-
queuce, he escapes punishment alto
gether. No direct testimony Of COM
petent witnesses can be procured
against him. and though there may be a
moral certainty of his guilt in the minds
of the judge, the jury. and the COM
munity, he cannot be convicted, and
even if convicted cannot receive the
punishment he deserves. 1t is defect
in the law that seems to be incurable.
The crime can only be reached and
punished by resort to mob violence,
which is itself grave violation of the
law.
The lynchlng. occurring in a Repub-
lican city in Republican state i'll the
North, will probably excite no political
animosities. If it had taken place across
the line in the Democratic state of Mis-
souri,, or still further South, it would
have been seized upon as another evil
dence of the lawlessness existing at the
South. Another circumstance which
prevents the political use of the lynch
ing is that the victim of the mob and the
mob itself were all good Republicans
men who never scratch ticket, and
who doubtless voted as unit for the
disbarred pension attorney for governor
of the state. The victim of the mob's
fury was not member OF the de-
spised negro race, as such mis-
creants are likely to be farther
South, but member of the race DOM
inant in the politics of the Northwest.
These facts rob the event of all political
significance. They do not prove. how
ever, that lynclings are without justif
cation in the South or in the North, but
