A GREAT VICTORY.

ArtMr Blackburn, oneo of the Great
Norther strikers, was tried week ago
in the United States district court at
Minneapolis for obstructing the mail
at Willmar, and acquitted.
One thing in particular about the
case. and which the readers Of the
TRIBUNE are deeply interested in, is
that S. A. Flaheny, who was former
ly county attorney of Stevens county
but now Of the firm Of Spooner &
Flaherty, of Minneapolis, conducted,
the defense. This is quite a victory
for Mr.. FlahertY, as everybody
thought there was no avenue of es
cape for the defendant, and that he
would certainly meet the fate of his
companions, Carruthers and Bogart.
Mr.. Elaherty is making rapid progress
in the legal fraternity and we hope
to see him classed among the leading
civil and criminal lawyers of the
world IN the near future.

Mrs. Lora Perkins, over whom the
insurance companies raised such a
rumpus and accused of numbering
her companion and alleged sister,
Mrs. Hawkins, in Minneapolis short
while ago, was released from Jail last
Thursday, the grand jury reporting
no bill against her. Now that she is
a free woman the tables are somewhat
turned, and the rude comments of
the press and public are changed
from the accused to the accuser, but
the stain and heartaches brought by
them on defenseless and innocent
woman will cling TO her until her
mind. and body shall find peace and
rest in the grave. This is a fair ex-
ample OF what it is to have the slueth-
hounds of insurance companies on
your track. It shows what they will
resort to to avoid paying few paltry
dollars. We do not say that all of
the insurance companies are like that,
but we do say that majority of tho
old line companies will do all most
anything, no matter how mean, to

loss to know who they will run for
president next term. Pick up any
one, and if he should happen to be
elected he will certainly do as we'll as
the one they have at present, for it
would be impossible for him to be
any worse; but there is no danger Of
a Democrat being elected, SO it don't

huxley CHATS Tyndall.
County Auditor.

Tyndall was, I think, one of the ear
lest members of the Alpine club, but
he seeded after an unfortunate dispute,
which arose in connection with his own
successful attempts on the Matterhorn
and Mr.. Whymper's ascent of that peak,
and it was not till three or four years
before his death that he again attended
one of the annual dinners of the club,
where he and Professor Huxley were
among the guests of the evening.
Both Grated, but in the particular art
of after dinner speaking Tyndall Was
not the equal Of his brilliant rival, and
his labored and rather egotistical utter
ances contrasted unfavorably with the
DELICATE persifage of Huxley, who, by
the way, chaffed him numerically on
that occasion as being one OF the goats
and not one of the sheep-the goats who
climbed the arid rocks, while the sheep,
among whom Huxley reckoned himself,
browsed contentedly on the rich pas
lures below. --Blackwood's Magazine.

THE DEMooRATIC REoReANIzArIoN.

Every patriotic American VIII exult in
the Information that President Cleveland
has an ambition.
UisHke receHin the news that the golden
stairs are accessible. It arouses wonderful
thoughts OF clocks that sing the hours and
creates q desire to find out whether it is to
be a fishing or hunting trip. But it is to
DE neither.
Report has il that the President is am
bitious to reorganze the Democratic party.
He has been Belshazzar. He would DOW
like to be Cyrus.
President Cleveland can never reorganize
the Democratic party He lacks power to
control Lien except through patronage.
He can not subordinate self for the good OF
his party and above all he does not command
the respect Of the common people, where lies
the heart, the fountain head of Democracy.
His sympathies. association, and interests
are with the wealthier classes. He has no
liking for men who toll. and iz, therefore,
not Democrat, even in name if his past
record is accepted as a criterion.
IT is further reported that the contem-
plated reorganization is to be made on the
lines OF sound money, which, according
TO Pres dent Cleveland, means gold mono
metallism. Were such reorganization pos
sible, the Democratic party could never
win on such a platform. The free silver
element Of the Democracy has in past years
been too potent a factor in the success
Of the party 10 lie discarded without de
stroylng all hope OF victory.
President Cleveland has already estab-
Iished a party. 1t is neitheEnumerous nor
influential, but so long as there are bonds
TO sell or offices to distribute, it VIA be a
power n his administration. Its name
is Synonymous with its only policy, and
that is To cuckoo the platitudes Of its

wEkT UNCLE SAN WOULD DO.

II the emblematicaI Uncle Sam could
be endowed with life he would hold up
his hands in horror at the condition Of
affairs at the national capital, over which
his spirit is supposed to hover. He would
also denounce the heedlessness OF its citi-
zens and endeavor to arouse them to
united action against existing local evils.
About the first thing Uncle Sam would
urge would be a mass meeting to devise
means to exterminate Jackson City, the
outlaw track and it's gang OF thieves, con-
fidencs men and general utility toughs.
He would insist that Gov. O'Ferran com
pei the authorities of Alexandria county to
enforce the laws, and to remove every
officer who neglected or refused to do
his duty.
Uncle Sam would then take up the gas
question and fix modern rates for that
necessity. He would say to Congress: The
people Of my capital are being robbed
through high prices, ana If you VIII not
allow competition you must give them
dollar gas at least" He would also ar
range for cheaper electric Light and tele-
phone service.
The next burden Uncle sam would remove
would he our excessive water tax. a few
moments confidential chat with the Com
missioners would convince those gentle
men that il IS wrong 10 create a surplus
from water rents In quiet way he would
point out that water should be furnished
the poor at a minimum cost, and that
water rents should be reduced so as to
only pay the expense of maintaining our
water system and not g penny more.
Under Uncle SANS crusade for the peo-
pie site for the contagious hospital
would be selected without further delay.
Our street railway companies would be
compelled 60 arrange for a reciprocal trans
fer system. Peter facilities would be
provided for disposing OF the city garbage.
A watchful eye would be turned toward
the Division. Our worn out side,
walks would be rebuilt
After all this, and needed local work,
perhaps Uncle sam should go 70 the White
House and take hand in national affairs.

A BAD SHOWING.

The news columns tins morning announce
that Treasury receipts for the month OF
March VIII again fall below expectations.
and that by May / the deficit VIII amount
to SAP 600 .OOO. This comfortable little
sum, added 10 the bond sales, viii swell
the amount OF public money sunk in bad
management by the present administration
10 S2O6. 500 600, almost enough to build
n bridge TO the moon were such q project
possible.
But a return OF prosperity would change
the tide Of affairs and replenish our Treas
ury Imports duties would increase, and
instead OF this wearisome deficit balance
would show on the other side Of the public
ledger. When VIII this change take place? f
Candidate Mckinley says not until he
is elected President, and the trrst tariff
schedule is again enforced. Candidate
Coxcy insists it viii be when his non
interest bearing bonds are authorized by
Cong ress. Candidate sibley declares
that good times viii come with free silver
dollar. and Candidate Hill says not tin
there is q repeal of the income tax.
The truth is that politics will have
little effect on a return Of prosperity. 1t
is a business question, and one that needs
careful handling. There must be no
grecnback raids on our Treasury. The
money problem should be left severely
alone until confidence is restored and in
yestments can be made without fear Of loss
by depreciation. The tariff ought not
again TO De- meddled with for term OF
years, and the sugar trust and every other
industrial combine should be prosecuted
and driven out OF existence.
A complete rest from further legisla-
tive agitation will do much FOR this country.
