THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMA-
TON.

President Cleveland has issued a
proclamation ordering the mobs in
Chicago to disperse before noon today
or be at the mercy of the military
Law abiding people everywhere viii
fervently thank God that Grover
Cleveland is endowed with the proper
amount of backbone for the occasion,
and that he occupies the White House.
and that a man of the stamp of An
archist Altgeld does not preside over
the deStinieS of the nation. For the
past two or three days anarchy melted
by Dictator DebS under the hypocrit-
ical statement that he was cOunseling
peace, has reigned almost supreme in
the City of Chicago. The only hope
for the future is that this lawless up
rising be stamped out at once, and 1T
is altogether probable that this pro-
clamation will mark the end of the
strike there. When those who COM
posed the frenzied mob stop to think
the matter over they will hesitate
long before they do anything which
will place them within range of the
guns of Uncle Sans boys. for they are
perfectly aware now what the cOnSe-
Quences will be.
The frothingS of Debs that the pro-
clamation was issued at the behest of
the railways; that it is move to
create sympathy, and for the purpose
of grinding labor down further, is SIM
ply the rant of demagogue. 1t was
the only rightful course left open to
the president, if he did his just duty.
1t was periodically inspired, and will
be sustained by the patriotic senti-
ment. 1t is not question of the
railroads and labor or Pullman and
his employees, but of law and order or
anarchy. When peace is restored,
when the lawlesS element find that
they must respect the rights of others
and that men must be granted the
full and free right to manage and con-
trOl tnelr own property and affairs,
then the rights of labor and capital
can be fully and freely discussed, and
wrongs one way or the other consider
ed, and the strong sympathy of the
public will always be found on the
side of those who are unjustly Cypress
ed. But the first and most important
thing, is the full and complete restor-
alton of law and order.

THE TARIFF BILL.

The course of the Democrats in the
house in not allowing the tariff bill as
it came from the senate to be con-
sidered, has caused considerable sur
prise, and called forth some very
caustic remarks from eX-Speaker Reed
last Saturday. In SO far as the ulti-
mate result will be, it is probably just
as well that the autocratic course was
taken, as it will save considerable
time that would be spent in useless
wrangling. But dropping this point
and looking at the consistency in
vOlved, the Democratic reformers do
not make very good showing for
their supposed principles. The bill
which has gone to the house from the
senate, is radically different in many
points from that which passed the
house. But the latest adyices from
Washington indicate that the senate
bill is likely to be accepted with but
few changes. The talk that the house
will stand out against it is vanishing
into the air. Outside of a few ultra
free traders, all appearances indicate
that the Democratic majority can be
easily whipped in to support the bill
as it seems from the hands of the con-
ference committee even though but
few changes should be made
Of the eight Democrats who are
members of the conference committee,
and who will control it, only one,
Senator Voorhees,, is from the north,
the rest are from southern states.
And Voorhees, sympathies, as re-
CARDS tariff matters, are with the
south. In the hands of these men
rests the fate of the great industries
OF the north, which have largely con-
tributed to the welfare and power of
the nation. From the final decision
of these men there will be no appeal.
The house and senate will be obliged
to accept or reject in full.
A Washington correspondent in
commenting upon the situation, says
that the expectation that the confer
ence committee will frame a new bill
is not likely to be realized. 1t is
rumored that President Cleveland
will use his influence to have coal and
iron ore put on the free list, and that
outside OF that he will advise very few
changes. The prevailing opinion
seems to be that the difficulty of get
ting the bill through the senate will
prevent any radical changes being
made

Punishment For Treason.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Any one who leyies war against the
United States, whether the disturb
ance be confined to one locality or ex-
tend over wide section, is guilty of
treason.
For such crime the, statutes (section
1882 provides the punishment:
Every person guilty of treason shall suffer
death or at the discretion of the court shall be
imprisoned at hard labor for not less than five
years and fined not less than $1,000, to be levied
on and collected out of any or all of his prop
erty, real and personal, of which he was the
owner at the time of committing such treason,
any sale or conveyance to the contrary notwith-
standing and every person convicted of treason
shall, moreover, be incapable of holding any
Office under the United States.
This is a serious business for those
who incite opposition to the govern
ment, who make war on the National
and State troops. and who cOnspire to
disturb the public peace.

PRESIDENT DEBs, of the A. r. e.,
together with Vice-President How
ard one of the directors, and the
party who threw the switch obstruct-
ing a mail train, have been indicted
and were arrested late yesterday after
noon, and released by Judge Grosscup
on $4,000 bail each. The charge is
conspiracy to commit an unlawful act
in blocking and obstructing the pro-
gress of the United States mails.
The prompt action Of the United
States court will be commended by
all good and patriotic citizens every
where. So terrible have been the re-
suits in violence and crime from the
strike, that it would seem as though
somebody ought to be held responsible
and stand punishment therefor, and
the officials being the conductors of
the strike, are naturally the response
BILE heads. Mr.. Debs says that he has
done nothing unlawful, and will be
able to prove it. If this is SO, then as
a matter of course, he will not be pun
ished. But the. law officers of the
government think differently, and
from the reports seem to be backed
up with vast amount Of testimony.
1t is to be hoped that the prompt
manner in finding the Indictment will
be speedily followed by trial, and if
the accused are found guilty, justice
to the full extent Of the law will be
melted out to them.

In reviewing the condition of the
wheat market, the Minneapolis Tribune
says: Business generally has been
greatly depressed because of the strike.
That matters in all the markets of the
United States are not even worse than
they are is due, largely to the faith
that the final outcome cannot be far
off, and that the end as heretofore will
be on the side of law and order. No
wonder we have to record dull, in
active and weak wheat market for the
week Just ended. There has been no
natural action in the local market for
the week, trading being entirely con-
fined to few scalping transactions
and evening up of trades among those
who are fearful as to the immediate
future. Fear OF possible increased
trouble has been the controlling in
fiuence. While Minneapolis has been
shut off from regular receipts, instead
of an advance we have a decline both
for speculation wheat and CASH stuff.
The torch has paralyZed the wheat
trade, in fact, all trades, and our
market acts in sympathy. Our mills
are nearly all shut down, there being
but two that can be served by the

Talking of Senator Davis.

Duluth News-Tribune:
Senator Davis is now having presi-
Dental boom. His manly and cour-
ageOus act in defense of the laws and
the constitution has attracted attic n
tiOn everywhere.
And yet Senator Davis is one of the
poor men of the senate, man of the
people, and man whose sympathies
are with labor in all it's forms and on
every occasion, and who will be the
first in upholding it's rights.
He recognizes that the rights of
labor are only to be protected by qthe
upholding of the laws of the nation.
and that no labor nor any other move
ment can succeed which would do so
in defiance of national authority.

THE SITUATION.

Everything points to the fact that
the great railroad strike is practically
broken. Everywhere the situation is
growing brighter. Passenger trains
are running on time and even cOnSid-
cradle freight is being moved out of
Chicago as well as elsewhere. Every
where the strikers are weakening and
are going back to their old places by
the hundreds and thousands. 1t
should be said in justice to the
strikers that thousands of them went
out against their will. They felt it
was ill-advised, but were forced out
by small majority whose heads were
turned by the glittering promises of
Debs, which were beyond the power
of man to fulfil. Nothing could bet
ter illustrate the failure of the strike
than the desperation to which Debs is
driven, and his frantic appeals to
workingmen everywhere to make the
ruin already wrought complete, by
going out and tying up everything.
But happily the workingmen of this
country have more sense than Mr..
Debs has given them credit for, and
his waning power marks the contempt
in which he is held by the cooler
judgment of the labOring classes.
Debs' great blunder has cost not only
capital, but labor as well, millions of
dollars, but if the true lesson of this
strike is profited by, it will not all
have been lost in vain

AS A result of the great railwey
strike, the city of Chicago will have
thousands of dollars in bills to foot
for damages done by the mob in the
destruction of property. This will
come out of the taxpayers of that city,
and all of them whether large or
small will have to contribute their
share. Mr.. Debs is not resident of
that city, but he stands mainly re-
sponsible for helping to pile up this
increased burden upon the taxpayers
Of Chicago.

st. Paul Globe:
That Pullman was despot all men
have long known: that he is coward
as well is proved by his avoidance of
the scenes of carnage he has created.
While men struggle desperately in the
streets an byways Of Chicago, Pullman
is enjoying the delights of the sea
breezeS at his seaside palace, refusing
even to listen to the stories of distress
that come from Chicago, and hooking
all appeals for assistance in settling
the dispute. Pullman could have
given Nero pointers on the fiddling
business.

DIR. b. j. Davis moved that the con-
vention proceed to the. nominatihn of
congressman, and this was carried
Gilbert Gutterson took the stage,
and spoke of the unparalleled pros
perity on all sides when two years ago
MI. McCleary was placed in nominal
tion in this hall. There were some in
the party who were anxious for
change. The Democratic party at
Chicago adopted a platform full of
glittering promises of better things if
the Democratic party was put in DOW
er. We know that a change has oc-
CURED. We can see it when we look
at our neighbors' Sunday clothes. we
can hear it when we pass the factories.
we can feel it when we put our hands
in our pockets. The time has come to
again place the government in the
hands of the Republican party. Mr..
McCleary is man who has been an
honor in congress and has been true
to the interests of his constituents.
The speaker had placed him in nOmi-
nation two years ago and took pleasure
in moving that the denomination of
Hon. James T. McCleary be made by
acclamation
j. r. Lankard seconded the motion,
referring to the admiration for Mr..
McCleary which has spread through
out the district. Two years ago he
had favored a Redwood Falls man.
1t was not merely the school friends
of Mr.. McCleary who favored him.
The motion was carried unanimously
and the vote was received with ap-
plause.
The following telegram from Mr..
McCleary was received and read:
"WAsHINGTON, d. c., July 10TH
Chairman Congressional Convention:
Best wishes to convention. Demo-
cratic party tried and found wanting.
Republican policies expressing patriot
ism, intelligence and honesty of the
people will achieve glorious victory.

This created applause.

was unanimously carried. The fol-
lowing committee was selected:
