The Ernmons County Record seems
to let the cat out Of the bag as to the
why's and whereforcs OF the rcpubli.
cans for bouncing Jud LaMourc. In
ending quite an editorial, not very
complimentary to the aforementioned
gentleman, the Record says that Ger.
tain papers "expouse" Whatever
that may ncam "his cause for the
reason that they believe, from his
past record, that they can always de.
pend upon him to turn traitor SUI

missed an opportunity Of DESERVING

Well. well. So to vote against resub.

counts for the difference in the treat.

TARIFF LEGISLATION

At present writing it certainly does
not look as If it were possible for the
democrats to pass a new tariff bill for
an indefinite period. Hill, Of New
York, one or two of the populist sen.
ators, and the louisiana sugar scna.
tors. are now all opposing the pres.
cnt form of the bill. A large MAORI.
ty Of the democratic press are also
opposing it in one way or another.
The fact is the party have, between
their promise of free trade, and the
actual necessity of providing for the
government. placed themselves be.
tween the devil and the deep sea.
Some things are now becoming an.
parent even to the democratic mind,
Revenue OF some kind is a necessity,
II it must he paid, the common peo.
pie prefer to pay on manufactured
articles that compete with our own
products, rather than on foreign pro.
ducts which We must have but which
we cannot produce at home. To
change the burden Of taxation from
imports to internal revenue don't
make the load any lighter, but really
makes it harder to bear.

COMMUNICATION.
Editors Of the PIONEER Exprr,,

We notice In the controversy bc.
tween the PIONEER ExvREss and St.
Thomas Times that Mr.. IIagcr is re.
fercd to as the leader of the republi.
can party in the End district, but the
majority of the republicans around
st. Thomas do not seem to know or
look upon him as such. In the first
place, a man to be leader in politics
or anything else, must have some fol.
lowing, and il Mr.. Hager has any fol-
lowing, we Of the city OF St. Thomas
and the immediate vinicity do not
know anything about it. This 1 think
was fully demonstrated when he made
his run for county commissioner
against Mr.. Manse!l and was shown in
his own town. Very likely his being
defeated by Mr.. Manseli was owing to
his being SO reticcnt In his way, but
VIC are happy to inform the public
that Mr.. Hhgcr has at present very
favorable indications OF overcoming
the great difficulty with which he has
teen so seriously handicapped during
his young days Of political life. It
was thought at one time by the peo.
pie of St. Thomas that he would al
ways remain a featherhcad, but We
inclined to believe this was mistake.
However, since he has undertaken to
down your Uncle Judson he will have
sample room to display some of his
talent. We are ut the present time
inclined TO belive he would have dis.
played more horse sense II he had un.
dcrtook something o little less diff.
ficult as starter We do not under.
stand why Mr.. LaMourc should be
sidc.tracked for srch man us Mr..

Hon. Roger Allin, Of Walsh county

Hon. Roger Allin, Of Walsh county,
Is spoken Of as nominee for govern.
or by the republican convention.
Mr.. Allin is an excellent man, per.
sonally popular, and in some ways an
available candidate. II Mr.. Allin's
Walsh county friends had at the last
election accepted the situation and
done their best for Governor Burke,
no matter what the result OF the cleo.
tion, VIC believe Mr.. Allin would
have been the nominee this year
with practically no opposition. But
it wihbc very hard for Mr.. Burke's
friends to forget the vote of Walsh
county when they come to nominate,
and it would he still harder to hold
all Of Governor Burke's friends In
line when it came to voting on cleo.
tion day. The political knife is a
two-edged affair and cuts both ways.

Coxeyism is playing out. The rea-
son Of it is simple. While there is no
difficulty in obtaining meals as they
come to different towns, these towns
refuse to allow them to remain and
order them to move on; and, since
the authorities have stopped the
stealing of trains, the COxcyites have
to walk and walking is hard work.
The simplest and least troublesome
method Of curing Coxeylsm is the
order to "movc on" The lest way
to make Coxeyites is to elevate them
to the dignity of martyrs; the best
way to stop them, is to treat them as
tramps and keep them tramping.
