THE indications are that the end of
the long lane has been reached at
last and that from now on business
will continue to improve. The past
fifteen months or SO have been the
most trying ones, but with the vast
resources at it's command this coun-
try can not be kept down, unless the
legislation relative to it's economic
system is of a species which the most
ultra of free traders would force upon
it. The tariff agitation in congress
is not likely to continue but little Ion
ger, and then it must either result in
the passing of a bill something Of the
nature of the senate bill or else the
matter will doubtless fall to the
ground. If the obstacles in the way
of the resumption of business can
soon be removed, the chances of a
general recovery before winter sets in
will be fair.

Mr.. DONNELLY is of the opinion
that should the Populists control the
next legislature he would not secure
the senatorship, but that it would be
given to "some respectable non-entity
among the Populists," and man with
"thimble full of brains" would sleep
in the senate for six years. The Pops
have already sent enough of such men
to the senate, and the people OF Min
nesota have no desire to be so disgraced
or misrepresented. The election of a
Republican legislature will insure the
continuance of the high standard OF
influence which Minnesota now holds
in the legislative circles at Washing
ton.

THERE are evidences that the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin are getting down to
business again politically. For the
past four years they have endured a
Democratic administration, the
methods of which have been SO scan
dalous as to completely disgust the
most conservative Now finding that
the reform of Democracy is simply
a scheme to get votes by which to
climb into power, the people look
longingly again to the party which
governed them so long and SO well.
The Republican state convention
there a few days put up a most adj
mirable state ticket, strong in every
particular, and it is regarded on all
sides as a winner. Wisconsin has suf-
fered immensely at the hands of the
local and national Democratic policy
and there is every indication that it
will repudiate that party next No
vember by an overwhelming majority.

In the controversy between Sena-
tor German and Mr.. Cleveland, the
senator seems to have a little the best
end or it, and puts Grover in tight
position when he quotes from his let
ter written during the campaign in
which he declares that in revising the
tariff care must be taken not to en-
danger the welfare of the industrial
institutions Of this country. The
Wilson bill would seriously disturb
many of them. But the whole fight
which is being made by the two fac
tions of Democracy is simply one of
selfish self-interests. The welfare of
some section or combination is being
looked after, rather than the good of
the entire people.

AS A matter of course, President

AS A matter of course, President
Debs, of the A. r. u, violently as
sails his prosecution for contempt OF
court, and declares it to be an infring-
ment upon free speech, as a matter OF
fact, Mr.. Debs does not seem to know
what free speech is. His right Of free
speech as guaranteed by the constitu-
tion, has not in the least been in
fringed upon. When he fully under
stands the full meaning of freedom of
speech, he will find that it does not
convey the right to incite' men to
deeds of violence, or to stir up insur-
rectiOn or rebellion. There has been
altogether too wide a latitude given
and taken in the matter Of freedom of
speech in this country, and smuch of
the trouble which is now being visited
upon US as people, springs from
that source. There are none who
have so much to say about the free
dom Of speech, and SO fearful that the
right of it will be infringed upon by
the legal authorities of the nation, as
those who abuse this right the most.
People who have true Americanism
at heart, who do not attack the in
stitutions of this country in language
that would befit one with reasonable
designs, who do not take occasion to
excite the baser elements of society to
mob violence, who always respect the
sacred rights of their fellow men,
have never been heard yet to COM
plain that their right to free speech
was ever curtailed.

THE END NEAR.

The tariff situation at Washington
is yet somewhat mixed as to what will
be the final outcome. 1t is pretty GER
tain, however, that the senate will
not back down, and that it will be the
senate bill with few minor changes
or nothing. There are indications
that the house is making preparations
to back down and swallow the senate
amendments. One rumor is to the
effect that the one-eighth of one cent
per pound duty on refined sugar will
be dropped, and that coal will be adj
mitted free on reciprocity basis,
from those nations which will give the
United States similar privileges. 1t
is possible that this rumor is true so
far as coal is concerned, as arrange
ments could be made with Novia
Scotia, where Mr.. Cleveland's friends
are interested, and let coal in free
from there, but it is very doubtful
whether the one-eighth duty on sugar
will be dropped. This point has been
one over which the tiercest fight in
the senate was made, and those
senators who demanded it, do not
seem disposed to let it go, and as they
have it in their power to defeat the
measure, it is very probable nothing
will be done without their consent.
1t is said that President Cleveland
has expressed a willingness to sign the
senate bill with such changes as above
referred to. OF course this leaves him
in somewhat embarrassing position
after his recent letter, but he lets
himself out of it on the ground that as
between the senate bill and nothing,
he prefers the senate bill to letting
the Mckinley law stand. 1t is claimed
that some agreement of this kind will
be reached this week, and that con-
gress will adjourn by August Sth.
And with it will end the great tariff
reform farce.

SPEAKING of the work of the LeXOw
committee in New York city, Mr..
John Brooks Leavitt, in the August
Forum, says that this inquiry has dis
closed the terrible fact that the quail
ity of our American citizenship is be-
ing destroyed in the race for wealth.
After surveying the manner in which
the creatures Of Tammany took to Sc
cure it and the degrading state into
which affairs have fallen in New
York, it is not strange that Mr.. Lea
witt should take such a view of Amer
lean citizenship. And it must be &C
knOWledged that the same condition
of affairs on a much smaller scale I'M
doubtedly exist in many other portions
of the country. And here lies the DO
tent cause for much of the trouble
which at present infiicts the country.
Washington GLADDEN. says it is because
Christian ethics are not carried into
business life; that he who gets the
most, who can get the better of his
fellowman with the greatest ease, is
the shrewdest fellow. And yet there
is a vast amount of sentiment in this
country against just such practices as
have been revealed by the LeXow
committee, and it is capable of being
crystallized into power which will
produce a more healthy public and
business life.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The favorable decision rendered by
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission as to rates on coal between
Duluth and this city, which was pub
lished in last evenings FREE PRESS,
will be of great advantage to our citi-
zens and greatly appreciated by them.
The result shows the value of a
business organization in our midst, as
the matter of cheaper rates was pro-
secuted under the auspices of the
board of trade. But it is due to the
personal services of Gen. e. M. Pope,
and the tenacity with which he has
hung to the matter, that the favor
able outcome of the endeayor for low
er rates is largely or entirely due.
From the first Mr.. Pope has contend
ed that the rate from Duluth to this
CITY on coal was excessive and ought
to be reduced: that, the roads were
simply discriminating against us, and
this view has been sustained by the
commission The principal point of
the whole matter is contained in the
paragraph of the decision of the COM
mission that any rate from Duluth to
Mankato that is in excess of sixty per
cent. Of the present rate from Duluth
to Minneapolis is excessive and I'M
reasonable and in violation of law. A
reduction on this score will place
Mankato on an equal footing with
outside towns, and has settled prin-
ciple which will be valuable prece-
dent for the future. 1t has taken
great deal of hard work to push the
matter to successful conclusion, for
which Gen. Pope is entitled to the
full credit, and well merits the thanks
of our citizens. The result of the de-
cision ought to have material bear
ing on next seasons price of coal.

THE pride of France has been
touched. 1t greatly astonished
Frenchmen and considerably cha
grined them when they visited the
worlds fair last year to find, in what
they thought might border upon a
western wilderness, the magniticence
of their own Paris had been out
done, and that the Columbian eXposi-
tion outrivaled anything of the kind
ever attempted. France is cOntem-
plating a worlds fair for the year
1900, and wants to eclipse anything of
the kind that has as yet been put in
shape by human hands. 1t hurts
them to think that the new world has
distanced them in the beauty of its
grounds in this matter, point in the
matter of worlds fairs which they
had not hitherto taken into considera-
tion, but which they will now closely
study. They have big job on their
hands, and more than this they have
not as fine a location, when the lake
is taken into consideration. But
there is no doubt but that the Paris
exposition of 1900 will be a gem of art,
and well worth visit across the big
pond.
