Now watch the protected interests
swoop down on the senate to defeat the

multitude! The senate has an oppor-

take advantage of. to refute the charge
so often made that it is the representa-

The Pittsburg Post has the correct idea
of the feeling of the people toward tariff
reform. 1t says: Put the Wilson tariff
bill on the statute books and we chaI-
lenge with confidence the verdict of the
people as To whether il shall be replaced
by the Mckinley law. We are reason
ably sure of four years trial Of the Will
son law. should it go into effect in June.
Before that time elapses we believe the
people will be more apt to demand a
further extension of the reform prin-
ciple in tariff legislation, just as they
did in 1857, rather than a return to the
regime of trusts, monopolies, bounties
and subsidies, and the taxation of the
many for the benefit of the few, which
are the dominating ideas of the McI<in-
ley law. Time travels with the REFORM
ers. and revolutions don't go backward
Temporary reverses should nerve them
to greater determination in the good
cause That is just the way the pro-
tectionists feel They are frightened to
death at the prospect Of the people get
ting a taste of the ruin which they
predict that tariff reform will bring.

The project to hold festival week in

St. Louis, Cincinnati and Kansas City all

that place a much greater good than can
be measured by the sum of money ex-
pended by those visitors.

How the Prohlbltionists Will Make
Their Fight.

The Prohibitionists Of the State. who.
during the past week, issued their call
for a June convention, wish, so they
say, to place themselves exactly right
before the people. With this object in
view one of the members of the execu-
tive committee. which issued the call
yesterday, to a representative of The
State, made a statement for publica-
ton.
He said The idea has gone out,
and I wish to correct it at once, that
the Probibitionists ran here right upon
the heels Of the uprising against the
dispensary law and issued their call.
The fact is and all should know it, that
the call for our meeting vas issued
two weeks before the trouble began and
the meeting was called for the very pur-
pose of considering this matter of a con-
v%ention and a nomination Of the State
ticket. Some seem to think, too. that
we are going to make the fight, if we
deem it advisable. to put out a ticket at
the general election in November. |
wish to state emphatically that our fight
will be made. if the convention nomi-
mates it's ticket, within tie Democratic
ranks. and at the primary cleo
ton in August. We are fighting for
prohibition, and if We fail we will not 60
beyond the primary. We will know no
factions in this thing. Our fight will
be made, as say, inside the Demo
cratic party, and we expect to win With
Democratic votes. Let me state further
that this position is consistent with that
which we assumed from the very begin
ming Of this contest, and it is distinctly
set forth in the very beginning of our
call. We request all Democratic voters
10 the State who will support prohibit
ton to meet and send delegates to the
convention, and then again We say that
there is no intention on our part Of
going outside of the white people of the
State to settle it. We have left the
matter of nominating a ticket to the
convention which is to be held. 1t may
be possible that a ticket will not be nomi-
noted, for we cannot tell yet what
changes there will before the convention
meets Something may trauspire in
the political world to change our idea Of
nominating a ticket. Such is the situa-
tion."-State, April 9.

only adequate protection was to deny
the power Of the State Government to
tax the means and ins,rumentalities
employed by the United States Govern
mens to carry into operation the powers

power of the United States Govern
mens is denied to tax the means

its power. although both Of these
Governments we're established for the
protection aud preservation Of the

vision in either of the Constitutions of
those two Governments %forbidding the

ing the opinion Of the Court in the case
last cited, lit is admitted that there is
90 express provision in the Constitution
that prohibits the General Government
from taxing the means and instrumeo-
t%alities of the States, nor is there any
prohibiting the State from taxing the
means and instrumentalities of that Gov

rests upon necessary implication and is
upheld by the great law of self-preser-
vation."
1t is urged, however, that in the
past the State engaged in the b%usiness
of banking and in the establishment Of
a State college, and these furnish a
precedent for the State engaging in
any other business which may be
deemed by the legislative department
of the Government conducive to the
public welfare. In the first place these

The Minneapolis grand jury began Mon.
day the investigation of the Cling murder
case. The officials have practically given
up hope of wringing n confession from
Harry Hayward. and it seems certain
that the case will come to trial in due
time, in which event it is likely to become
q celebrated case in murder trial annals.
Harry Hayward is apparently deter
mined to fight the thing out to the bitter
end, and few more developments are cx-
pected before the case comes to trial.
Adry A. Hayward, brother of the ac-
cused, made n confession, in which he de-
clares that the fearful crime wns deliber-
ately planned by his brother, Harry, and
that the bloody deed was committed by
G. A. BliXt, the engineer of the Ozark
flats. The motive for the crime was the
securing of the insurance on the murdered
woman's life.
Adry's confession shows that prior to
the murder Harry had arranged nil the
details of the loans he had made her, the
evidence, the life insurance, ETC., in such
n manne that it would appear to the pub
lie afterwards that it was all open and
above board. Time ard time again Harry
made personal appeals to Adry. but the
latter always told him he could never
