Yesterday the Journal was in receipt
of a telegram from Congressman Lucas
stating that the house had passed on
the irrigation bill during the day. The
bill as passed was not as good as the
congressman had wished but it is much
better for the west than no bill at all
and it has started the work in the di-
rection of retaining the arid lands of

The much talked of excursion to
Wind Cave, gotten up for the benefit
of the M. e. church, started out this
morning, a party of about seventy-five,
and it is safe to say that it was as jolly
a party as ever went to that greatest of
natural wonders. The Mechanics band
accompanied the excursion, and the
melodious music from their instru-

subterranean caverns, making a wierd

a success so far as numbers are con-
cerned, and they will no doubt have a
delightful time.

CONGRESS WILL GO HONE.

At last the tariff bill is out of the
way, the house having given up the
struggle entirely, and passed the
measure as it came back to them from
the senate-a "robber tariff in every
sense that the Mckinley billwas. The
principal features of the new bill, which
have caused the strife between the
senate and house, provide for the fol-
lowing duties upon the staple articles:
All raw sugars, 40 per cent. adj va
loren; sugars above No. 16 (refined), n
per cent. additional; sugars produced
in bounty paying countries, ITO per
cent. additional to these rates. Ha-
waiian sugar is still free under the
reciprocity treaty.
Iron ore, 40 cents per ton; pigs, q
per ton; iron or steel rails, 100 of 1 per
cent. per pound. Lead ore and dress,
a of l per cent. per pound; silver lead
bearing ore, the same duty as on the
lead contained therein.
Tobacco for wrappers, 81. 50perpodnd
u~nstemmed, sg2. 1925 stcmmed; cigars and
cigarettes, 81 per pound and % per
cent. ad valorem.
Coal, bituminous and large slack. Is
cents per ton.
Precious stones, cut and unset, %
per cent. ad valorem: set, 30 per cent;
uncut. 10 per cent: GLACIERS andminers'
diamonds. free.
Logs and sawed lumber and timber
save tropical woods) and wool are free.
Tin plate, l 1-5 cents per pound after
October L.
Marble. rough, 30 cents; dressed, 50
cents per foot (cubic.)
White and red lead. 10 cents per
pound.
Under the internal revenue sections
of the bill. playing cards are taxed .
cents Il package.
An income tax of , per cent. OH in
comes above $4,000 is provided for:
also Il tax OH corporations of . per
cent.
Whisky is taxed si.1O per gallon and
the bonded period is fixed at eight
years.
Twenty-one democrats voted against
the bill, but it carried by IL vote of 1872
to 1O5.
After all the denunciation of the
senate measure by President Cleveland,
Chairman Wilson, of the house ways
and means committee. and other adj
ministration democrats. they now gulp
it all down as a blessing to the country.
Ii protection is robbery the demo-
Gratis by passing this bill have endorsed
robbery, for it is Il semi protective
measure, with free trade trimmings.
So that if the theory of protection is
wrong this abortive bill is wrong. 1t
gives us neither protection nor free
trade.
Yet the settlement of the long pending
question will meet with approval by
the country. 1t is Il relief to the
country to have congress do something
and get such questions that keep
matters in constant uncertainty out of
the way. Business can now begin to
seek it's equilibrium according to the
new tariff bill, and it will no doubt
somewhat improve from demonstrating
case of paralysis-it inactivity result
ing from uncertainty as to pending
legislation.
After President Cleveland's harsh
criticism of this bill it will be rather
humiliating for him to sign it, and it is
quite probable that he will permit it to
become II law 10y constitutional limi-
tation.

THE GREAT RALLY IN TOPEKA.

The great Populist rally IN Topeka
on July 12, surpassed any political
gathering that ever before assembled
in Shawnee county. The most con-
serVstiVe estimates do not place the
number of people present below TO-
600. No adequate estimate of the
number could be made. The people
were simply there by the acre, and
this multitude listened to the
speeches during the whole day and
evening with great interest and with
the closest attention. This was espe-
cially noticeable by everyone, and
republicans were heard to observe
that 'it is remarkable how Populist
speakers hold an audience"
Governor Waite of Colorado made
the principal speeches of the after
noon and evening. It is unnecessary
to say that republicans whose former
opinions Of the governor were based
upon the falsehoods concerning him
which have appeared in republican
papers were much disappointed. In
stead of an incendiary harangue,
which they expected to hear, the gov
ernor gave them a calm, logical and
eminently able address, showing how
the rights of the great common peo.
pie are ruthlessly trampled under
foot by government officials who are
no more or less than agents of the
capitalists and corporations of the
country; how arbitrary arrests are
made without warrant at the behest
Of organized capital and how men
thus illegally arrested are tried by
corporation judges without juries
and sentenced to Imprisonment, oil
in violation of the constitution of the
United States, and of the several
states where these outrages are per-
petrsted. He further showed how
United States marshsls and United
States troops are sent INTO the states
contrary to the especial interdictions
of law and in utter defiance of the
rights of the American people.
He pointed out the usurpations
of the courts and the dan
gers to liberty which such usur-
pations involved, and finally he
pointed to the ballot as the only
remedy by which these evils and
dangers can be removed. The ad-
dress was a powerful one, and it
had great effect. The converts to
Popullsm as a result of this meeting
will be numerous and important.
There will be numbered among them
several former recognized republican
leaders.
A further report of the meeting
and of other speakers will be found
in another place.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

ate time for the consideration OF q
subject which should deeply concern
every American citizen irrespective
Of the party with which he may be
identified. We refer to the usurps-
tions Of authority by the national
government and by the courts. Let
us look at this subject, not as parti-
sans, but as American citizens.
1t must have been observed with
what unanimity the republican and
democratic press, the leading politi-
ciahs Of both parties, and the money
changers, the corporations and cham
bers Of commerce of the country,
have expressed themselves in sp-
proVal of the course of the govern
ment and Of the courts during the
strike. We may for present pur-
poses divide the acts which are meet
ing such hearty Endorsement into
two clsssea, civil and military. The
statutes relating to the employment
of the United States army within
state jurisdictions contemplate the
employment of the state militia by
local state governments, when needed
for the suppression of violence, be.
fore the military power of the gsn-
eral government is invoked; and they
con template also that the United
States army shall not be ordered
into service in any state until the
governor of such state shall invoke
it's aid, and such military power,
whet her state or national, when en-
lployed, is always to be used subject to
civil authority and in support of civil
processes except in time Of actual
war. This provision of law has been
disreRarded. We do not propose,
however, to discuss the legal aspects
of the case.
The civil acts to which we refer
are in direct violation Of explicit pro-
visions of the constitution of the
United States. By that instrument
citizens Of the United States are
guaranteed against arrest except
upon warrant regularly issued by a
court, upon probable cause, sup.
ported by oath or affirmation" and
when 30 arrested they are gusrsn-
teed by the same instrument 'the
right to speedy and public trial,
by an impartial jury of the state and
district wherein the crime shall have
been committed" During the Coxey
movement and during the railroad
strike, it has been very common for
United States mArshsls and police
men to arrest men without warrant
and it has been common to try them
before police judges and before
United States judges without juries
and with little or no opportunity Of
defense. But we do not propose to
discuss these acts either, from legal
point Of view at tins time. The fact
that such things have been generally
