TARIFF COMMENT.

Whatever may be said about the.
senators of the United States, they
certainly seem to be trustworthy
Minneapolis Times.
1t is impossible to exaggerate in
speaking of the worthlessness of the
legislation now arrived at, or of the
contrast between it and what the
democratic party promised to the
people. It is am
azing how any member of the house
dare face his own reflection in a
mirror, to say nothing of an outraged
public, after this performance
Pioneer Press.
It is a pitiful outcome of all the
democratic promises of tariff reform.
The leaders of the party feel bad
enough over it, and nothing that re-
publicans can say will add much to
their chagrin. It is when they hear
from the people in the coming cleo
tons that they will fell the worst
Minneapolis Tribune.
No democrat can, and no citizen
| who loves his country should, read
the check which the cause of liberty
met with in Washington Monday,
without a blush of shame mantling
the cheek of the democrat and a
graver looking finding expression in
face of the other.-St. Paul Globe.
Thus ends the great campaign of
the free traders against the American
policy of protection. Broken into a
thousand pieces is their plank of a
tariff for revenue and free raw
materials. Buried out of sight are
their ante-election profession and
pledges. If we accept President
Cleveland's Wilson letter, the party
is eternally branded with "perfdy
and dishonor. ST. Paul Dispatch. !.

Incendiary fires have been so nu-
merous and SO frequent of late as to
cause serious alarm. The train wreck.
or has also been busy and the destruc-
ton of property has not only been
enormous, but worst of all, many in
nocent lives have been sacrificed. It
would seem as if that particular sec
ton of hell, in whose hottest confines
the incendiary and train wrecker are
gathered, had broke loose from its
mornings, come to earth's surface, and
with it legion of these tends, who,
having burst their confines, have scat
tered far and wide, wantonly destroy
ing not only property, but life. Plum
der and revenge are the malign infu-
ences that incites these fends to COM
NIT their cowardly, murderous deeds,
and every effort should be made and
no expense spared to bring these
dastards to summary justice. Citizen
organization may be necessary to sup
press these devils, and when the in
cendiary is used for fuel. and the train
Wrecker as an obstruction to the first
passing train, then will they have their
just deserts and the community be rid
OF their murderpus and destructive
presence.

State Auditor Bierman, in q sensa-
tional letter, recently published in the
st. Paul Globe, makes serious charges
against officials of the Great Northern,
Boss Doran and several others, alleg-
ing that improper influence was
brought to bear upon him in the mat
ter Of the selection of swamp lands.
1t is not probable that the manifesto
will attract serious attention, for the
pine land deals put Bierman on the
shelf politically. He is naturally in
a vindictive mood, having lost the ex-
pected populist nomination, and not
being likely to receive democratic rec
ognition, seeks sensational revenge.

A Test of Civilization.

One of the principal tests by which
we may estimate the degree of civil
ization to which nation has attained,
il its treatement of woman. When
man was savage, woman was no
moro than a companion animal
When he attained to the stage of a
barbarian, and had enough in
telligence to abandon caves and build
for himself dwelling, woman be-
came the household drudge, doing
the heavy labor of the field also, and
being chattel, disposable at the
pleasure of her lord and master.
Among the Greeks, the Romans and
the Jews, her condition was some
what improved, but polygamy was
lawful. The Teutonic nations of the
nineteenth century have placed her
on higher plane, and she is accorded
a respect and Difference that excites
the establishment OF Orientals, among
many of whom woman is treated as q
being without mind to be cultivated
or soil to be saved. 1t is. however,
in our country that woman has at
tanned the position of the beloved and
honored queen. In truth, it may be
said that among the better classes, all
things exist for woman. The railroads,
especially, take every means to provide
for her safety and her comfort, and
If she is travelling alone, great pains
are taken to insure her pleasant
journey. To this respect, "The Bur-
lington" takes the lead, and the Bur-
lington Route is widely known for
the courtesy of officials and employees
to lady patrons. Tickets via this
line can be had from any agent OF
this or connecting railroads, or by adj
dressing w. j. G. Kenyon, Gen, Pass.

Dosr;+o tho fact that rlotfor

Despite the fact that platform
pledges have been ignored, that party
promises have been broken and that
every honorable principle has been
betrayed by the act, yet, the house
has agreed to the senate tariff bill
without change or amendment.
There is nothing to rejoice over, ex-
cept tho fact that the agitation is
ended and business will no longer
suffer by the suspense and procrasti-
nation. There is something to be
ashamed of, however, and that is, the
humiliating and pitiful spectacle of
the loss of honor among politicians,
and the dangerous influence and
power of the trusts to control legis-
lation.

1t is very evident, from the strife in
Congress over the tariff measure, that
there is more of politics than business
in the squabble. That political dem
agogue occupies the place of the
patriotic statesman is only too evident,
and hence it is useless to expect party
pledges, platform promises, or prin-
ciple to cut any figure in results.

Save the Babies.

Infant mortality Is something frightful. We
can hardly realize that of all the children born
in civilized countries, twenty-five per cent, or
nearly one quarter, die before they reach one
year; thirty-seven per cent, or more than one
third, before they are i've. and one-han before
they are fifteen.
We do not hesitate to say that timely use Of
Castoria would save q majority of these
precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say
that many of these infantile deaths are occa-
stoned by the use of narcotic preparations. ALI
the drops, tinctures and syrups sold for chill
drens's complaints are composed principally of
opium or morphine. They are, In considerable
quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity.
they stupefy, retard circulation, and lead to
congestions, sickness and death,
Castoria operates exactly the reverse. 1t
causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fevers. Then the
child sleeps. He gets well. This is the way
Castoria acts. .
"Castoria is the best medicine for children. I
recommend it."
