CLEVELAND'S LATEST LETTER
The President Gives Mr.. Catchings Reason
For Not Signing the Tariff Bill.

The President Gives Mr.. Catchings Reasons
For Not Signing the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. = President
Cleveland has written letter to Rep
resentative Catchings of Mississippi, in
which he gives his reasons for withhold.
ing his signature from the bill. Mr..
Catchings has allowed it to be made
public on account of the public nature
of the matter discussed.
Mr.. Cleveland disapproves a large
portion Of the bill, but still considers it
better tan no legislation at all on the
tariff. In conclusion he says:
The millions of our countrymen who
have fought bravely and well for tariff
reform should be exhorted to continue
the struggle boldly, challenging to open
warfare and constantly guarding
against treachery and half-heartedness
in their camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled until
it is honestly and fairly settled in the
interest and to the benefit Of a patient
and long suffering people.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
atiyo; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
cning them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in so cent bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
CO. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Makes Bid For Grain Business In the
Northwest.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 23.-The Northern
Pacific general freight department. has
issued a circular addressed ''to agents,
grain dealers and others interested. 1t
evidently intends to do some wheat ele-
vator business itself, and not to allow
the Great Northern to scoop in all the
grain i'll sight. As will be seen by
perusal of the formal parts of the circu-
lar, the cut in elevator rates recently
made by its competitor are fully met.
The circular fairly bristles with the sig
natures of officials, and is as follows:
The elevator companies upon our line
and available terminal connections at
Duluth, Superior and West Superior
have recently reduced their handling
charges to the following basis: Receiv-
ing, elevating and discharging, includ-
ing 15 days free storage, a half cent per
bushel. Storage for each successive 80
days or part thereof, a half cent per
bushel. There will be no charge for
cleaning and blowing any kind of grain
except flax The elevator capacity
available to shippers via the Northern
Pacific railroad, at the above rates, is
upwards of 90, ,00O, 900 bushels.

THE LIMIT EXPIRES
AND THE TARIFF BILL BECOMES A
LAW WITHOUT APPROVAL.

So Ends One of the Longest and Most
History-CleveIand Writes to Catchings
and Recites His Reasons For withhold
ing His Approval = Congress Adjourns
Till December.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 29.-At midnight
the Mckinley tariff law, which had
been in operation since Oct. 80, 1890,
practically four years, died on the
statute books, and the new Democratic
tariff bill, passed by the Fifty-third
congress, became law without the sig-
nature of President Cleveland. The
constitutional period of 10 days allowed
the president to consider the bill OK
pired with the midnight hour, and,
according to the terms of the constitu-
tion. the president having failed to re-
turn the bill to congress with or with
out his approval, it became law. The
placing of the bill upon the statute
books ended one of the longest and
mOSG NemarkaDle SIruSSleS
in the parliamentary history of the gov
ernment. It was practically year ago
that the compilation of the new tariff
was commenced. The extraordinary
session of congress was called Aug. Z,
1898, for the purpose of repeating the
Sherman silver purchasing law. Two
weeks later the ways and means COM
mittee of the house, with Mr.. Wilson of
West Virginia as chairman, was ap-
pointed and almost Immediately the
work of framing the Democratic tariff
reform measure began. Months were
spent in its preparation and it was not
reported until after the holidays during
the regular session beginning in De-
cember. For three weeks it was
Debated in the House,
passing that body Jan. 20 by vote of
204 to 240. Seventeen house Democrats
voted against it. The bill went to the
senate, and after being considered until
March 20, was reported, greatly changed
from the house bill. The debate which
began i'll the senate April 2 lasted until
July 3 when the bill passed by vote of
80 to 81. The crisis occurred when the
bill reached conference. On Aug. 13
the house yielded and accepted the SEN
ate bill in toto. Two days afterward,
Wednesday, Aug. 10, it went to the
president and at the expiration of the

visitors, marched out of camp and gave
their quarters to the Michigan men.
Estimates of the number in camp are
about 10000, as each tent accommodates
five men. There are also many unat-
tached knights in town.

BOGUS BOIL ER INSPECTORS.
Arrested After Swindling South Dakota
People of $4,000.


BROWNS VALLEY, Mimi, Aug. ~. =
Two men, giving the names of ]. w.
Corey, alias John Hines, and William
Graham, were arrested in Harmon
township, charged by Charles Urich
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Corey pretended to be the state
boiler inspector of South Dakota and
Graham passed as his deputy. 1t hap
pens that that state does not require
the inspection of boilers, but these
swindlers have examined about 300
boilers and pocketed socalled fees
amounting to about $4,000. Their
mode of operation was to inspect the
boilers and give engineers licenses to
run threshing engines, charging in
most cases $5 each, but where there
was an opportunity they would accept
$40 to $15 as bribe to keep still if the
engine was little risky.

Mr.. Pullman said it was not good

not easily replaced and would not stand
