Palmyra, Wis. Jan. 27.-Application
has been made to Governor Peck for
the pardon of Henry Rohrmeister and
Mrs. Steinhauser, who were sentenced
to Waupun for life for the murder of
the woman's husband.
Steinhauser was a farmer who en-
ployed Rohrmeister. One morning in
the winter of 1888 Steinhauser was
found in bed with fatal bullet wound
in his head. Before he died he de-
clared that he had been shot by his
wife while Rohrmeister was standing
by.
During the trial Mrs. Steinhauser
testified that two burglars entered her
room on the night Of the tragedy and
when she called to her husband, who
was asleep at her side, one Of the men
fired the fatal shot. ROhrmedster also
strongly declares his innocence

he is sure to give a good account of
himself. Today he is bigger and

his life. He says he is far better than
he was when he met Sullivan.

FAILURE OF SATOLII.
Rumor in German Circles at Rome
that He Is to Be Recalled.

Rome, Jan. pa report is in circu-
lation in the German diplomatic circle
here that Mgr. Satolli, the apostolic
delegate to the United States, is to be
recalled owing to the failure of his
mission and TO his having incurred
the hatred of both Catholics and Pro
testantS.
In vatican circles the circulation of
this report is taken rs an indication
of desire to combat the papal policy
and TO cause confusion. The reported
entente between the vatican and the
quirinal on the question of the patri-
arch of Venice is not decided. There
is little present hope that the italian
government will grant an exequatur
to the patriarch.

The worst enemy of Mr.. Cleveland
could not wish him to occupy a more
humiliating position than he does now.
He has been defeated in the fight with
the Gorman-Br ice combination which
he himself invited, and he has now to
choose between signing, vetoing or al
lowing to become a law without his
signature, the Senate tariff bill, which
he characterized in his letter to Mr..
Wilson as 'undemocratic, p%erfdious
and dishonorable." If he followed his
personal inclinations he would veto the
bill and try to keep Congress in session
until he could force a bill through that
was nearer free trade. But there are
weighty reasons why he is not likely to
follow his personal inclinations, the
first of which is the universal demand
from the business men of all sections
and all parties, that the bill be allowed
to become a law, bad as it is, in order
that they may have a chance to do
business, ever if it be poor business.
The second, and probably the most
weighty reason with Mr.. Cleveland, is
the knowledge that the Senate would
refuse to pass any bill that he has
known to wish passed.

REPUBLICANS consider the work of
the session done, and so many of them
have gone home that the Senate is al.
ready without a quorum and likely to
remain so. 1t is probably because of
the knowledge that nothing can be
done that certain Democratic Senators
have become so very solicitous that
some bill should be passed that will
take away the profits that they have
deliberately voted to give the Sugar
Trust. There is Democratic hypocrisy
on every hand. The Senators are mere
ly trying to keep up with the record
made by the House Democrats when
they passed a tariff bill with a duty on
iron, sugar, coal and barbed wire, and
Immediately afterwards passed separ-
ate bills putting those articles on the
free list. The voters of the country
will in November express their opinion
of this sort of business.

THE pop gun tariff bills for free iron,
coal, sugar and barbed wire, which
the House passed and sent to the Sem
ate, are thin excuses to aid free trade
Democratic members of the House to
square themselves with their free trade
constituents. The only one of them
that could possibly get through the
Senate is that providing for free sugar,
and that one the administration joins
the Sugar Trust in opposing. Secretary
Carlisle and the agent Of the Sugar
Trust are both working in concert TO
prevent the passage OF the free sugar
bill, the latter trying to brighten those
Democratic Senators whose votes are
not controlled by the Sugar Trust, by
representing that the money to be col.
lected through the tariff on sugar Ia
absolutely necessary to save the ad-
ministration from another issue of
bonds. This argument docs not speak
well for Mr.. Carlisle's opinion of the
intelligence of the Democratic Sena-
tors, as every intelligent reader Of the

UNJUST

The basis upon which the different
States have their representation in Con-
gress is population, and it would be fair
and just if all were allowed to vote as
they desire. But it is very unfair and
unjust as the matter now stands. Take
as an illustration the following: Ac-
cording to the Congressional Directory,
at the last election for Congressman in
the States of Mississippi and South
Carolina, which together have one
more vote than Indiana has, the total
vote in the first two States was 119, 6O4,
against $40, 716 in the latter State. Is
this equal representation? Not at all.
Base the representation upon the vote
cast, and a more equitable condition
of things will result.
