TIT EOR. TAT.

In the senate, on Wednesday, Mr..
Vest remarked caustically that he was
astonished to hear that mills were still
closed. although Mckinley had been
elected Mr.. Frye replied: 1--WE are
living under Democratic laws" While
We do not agree with Mr.. Vest in the
cause to which he assigns the still
cramped and unsatisfactory condition
Of our industries, we desire to point
out the shamelessness with which the
average Republican doubles on his
tracks and eats his own words the mo-
ment that it seems to his party's ad-
associates claimed that if "the advance
agent of prosperity" were elected, busi-
ness would boom right along and all
distress and depression 'lisappear.T
claimed too much, and they knew it,
It was done to catch the votes of the
ignorant, and now, when they are asked
why their foolishly extravagant proph-
ecies were not fulfilled, they answer:
1--WE are living under Democratic
laws" 1t will not be until the Republi-
cans have an opportunity to put their
policy in full operation, they say. that
good times are completely restored
It is necessary only to compare this
argument with that which has been
dinned into the ears Of all readers OF
Republican newspapers for four years
past to measure it's absurdity ard its
falsehood. 1t will be remembered that

Barackman is a graduate Of Princeton
and came to st. Paul from Clairmount,
Mimi, where his first pastorate was.
He preached his first sermon in West
minister church in September and has
since then occupied the pulpit several
times. He was called to fill the va
cancy made by the resignation last
June of Rev. NJ. L. P. Hill, D. D.. who
was present last evening and made
the charge to the new pastor. The
charge to the congregation was made
by Rev. G. W. Scovel The services
were presided over by Rev. r. H.
Myers, moderator of the st. Paul Pres
bytery, and pastor of the East Presby-
terian church. The sermon was given
by Rev. John Pringle, of the Goodrich
avenue church, who took for his text
the second chapter Of Acts, verses
A. to AZ, and spoke Of the early Chris
tians and their characters and of the
early church. Rev. Mr.. Barackman will
deliver his first sermon as the pastor Of
the church Sunday morning.

GO, TOLL THE BELLS.

The Dingley bill is dead Toll the
bells, silver bells, and let silver tongues
pronounce it's eulogy in sflvery tones.
Let Charity lay its finger on Truths
lips that nothing but good be spoken Of
1t, for no i'll should be said of the dead.
Let us who loved it not still our
scofHng and reverently doff our hats
while solemn senators read the burial
service over it amid the sobbing Of it's
bereaved kindred. We. too, have had
our kindred sorrow, and that is one of
natures touches that makes the whole
world kin and kind
Poor thing, $50 young and so fair"
How keen must be the pang Of grief as
the disconsolate ones recall the jaunty
step, the high courage, the confident air
with which the Dingley bill left the
house Of its birth and triumph and.
with a face beaming with a proud con-
sciousness Of it's mission Of restoring
prosperity tC a desolated land and fruc-
tifying revenues to a depleted treas
ury, entered that slaughter house Of
the innocents, the senate. ''Rashly
importunate," if not weary Of breath,
it coined the innumerable throng'
and went to it's death. Seeing it lie
there, cold, pallid, dead, involuntarily
there rises in ones memory the query
on the old tombstone:
''Since so quickly I was done for,
| wonder what | was begun for
Listen to the tolling of the bells.
How their tones fall into chord with the
occasion whose lament they carry.
How they change their usual dong
and pour forth t'cn the bosom of the
palpitatirg air. the words, ''Dingley,
Dingley." Even the iron and the steel,
the copper and the bronze in all these
bells know that they, too, have lost a
friend and protector in poor Dinghy
Bill, and make their tongues speak
softly each alternating syllable that
the unhappy father may know that
they, too, sympathize with him in the
untimely death of his precocious child.
SO let the somber procession move on
to the place of sepulture, while the
bells slowly chant "Dingley, Dingley.'

above this country, and the tempest
to beat upon its industries and its
financial institutions, in the last part
OF 1892, eliminating in the great storm
of the summer of 1893. This destruction
came, as we know, from the twin in
famies of Republican legislation, the
Mckinley act and the Sherman silver
purchase law. But we have never
heard any Republican admit it. They
said that it was due to Mr.. Cleveland's
election and the prospect of Demo-
cratic legislation on the tariff. If that
charge has been made once, it has been.
made a million times in the last four
years Confronted with the fact that
the treasury was empty, that business
was at standstill, and that Secretary
Foster had prepared the engraved
plates for a bond issue before Mr..
Harrison went out Of Office, and asked
how this could happen under Republi-
can rule, they told us that it was all
because the worst had happened. Mr..
Cleveland and a Democratic congress
were sure to come into power on the
4th of March following, and everybody
began to take in sail
Now, "tit for tat Is a very good rule,
as frequently people apply it" and we
desire to say that the diet which our
Republican brethren have been offer
ing to us for the last four years is
the food that must be forced down
their reluctant throats. If the election
Of 1892 determined the views and the
policy and the future of business in
this country between November of that
year and March of the year next fol-
lowing, then the election of 1896 must
prevailing between November of this
year and March, 1897 We were living
under Republican laws in the fall Of
1892, but the Republicans told us then
that these laws were impotent because
Democratic laws were going to be pass
ed in 1898. We are living under Demo-
cratic laws now, but Republican laws
are going to be passed IN 1897. If the
mere possibility of tariff reduction in
the closing days of 1892 was enough to
make panic, why does not the Ger
tainty, in 1896. that Republican tariff
laws will be enacted within six months,
if the party's programme can be car
ried out, stimulate and revive our fail
ing industries?
OF course, the whole argument is a
sham The election of 1892 had abso-
lutely nothing to do with the business
troubles of that year and the year
following, and the Republicans knew
it. The charge to the contrary effect,
with which they ply the ignorant, is
only another of those chickens that
their bed and they can lie in it. They
have taught the people to believe that
business prosperity and financial sta
bility depend upon the event of ma
tional election. Now, they must take
their medicine. By the 'ogic Of the
argument, which was almost their sole
plea for party restoration to power,
they are responsible for every :1lfavor-
able business condition that exists to-
day; and every discrepancy between
the prosperity that we had and the
prosperity that we want is due to the
| election of Mckinley and the certain
ty that the Republican party will try
to raise the tariff. That party is LATED
to its record and cannot escape it.

ITALIANS RIOTING.
Trouble on the Erie Canal Work
Near Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. Dec. 17.-Riotine
by striking Italian laborers was in
progress today on the Erie canal i'm
provement work near this city. Armed
with pickaxes, the rioters went over
the sections contracted to Mcdonald &
Sayre, of New York, John Dunfee &
Co., and Belden & Seeley, compelling
the workmen to quit. Complaint was
made because the men were not paid
A deputy sheriff left the scene of the
strike this afternoon to come to SYRIA
cuse to swear in deputies to protect
the men on the work, and the property
Of the contractors.
Serious trouble occurred at Warmers
The strikers organized and several
fights took place, some Italians being
badly beaten. Shortly before o'clock
q large body of the strikers, armed
with clubs and stones and carrying
red flags, made an attack on one
boarding shanty belonging to the con-
tractors. The house was completely
demolished. The men say that early
tomorrow morning. they will leave in
a body. some four or five hundred
men, and proceeding to Jordan compel
the laborers there to quit work.

contracts, Jobs in supplies, jobs in any
thing and everything become the rule
under this system. The humiliation
which the people OF Minneapolis now
feel is not due to any lack. of high
moral standard in that city as compar-
system of government by council which
has only worked out in that city to
the same result as in others; just as
mathematical problem ends uniform
ly whether it be solved bysone method
or another. Where all are responsible,
nobody is responsible, is a rule as an
cient as human experience. What it
has wrought elsewhere it has wrought
in Minneapolis, and will work in ST.
Paul or Duluth or any other city where
you give it an opportunity and time
to bear fruit
The costly experience of our sister
city is at least lesson that we can
take to heart. 1t ought to be the end
of all propositions to introduce the
Minneapolis system of government into
any other city in Minnesta That is
as out Of date, as cumbrous, costly and
dangerous as the use Of any Of the old
machinery of industry that has been
displaced by modern invention. Con-
centration of power and responsibility
in single executive head is the first
hope of reform. Let US hear no more,
city government by common council
which Minneapolis has SO long upheld
and worshiped, and for which she is
now paying a price so heavy in cash
and in reputation.

THEY HAVE TO GO.

The G congratulates the peo-
pie of st. Paul who believe in the OBJ
servance Of law ami do not believe in
public gambling, petty or great, that
an order has been issued for the re
moval of the nickel in the slot ma
chimes which have been doing SO -four
isning a business since this admins
tration came in. There has been much
agitation since the exposure made by
the G o b of the return of these ma
chimes, with addresses where any one
could find them in full operation. It
was not easy to reply to this with the
customary remark Of the administra
ton organ, which is known as Mr.. Do
rams paperweight, that it was Dem
ocratic" fabrication. The public was
justly indignant and the city hall
crowd WINGED under deserved public
censure. Then, too, there was the ap-
preaching meeting of the grand jury to
be considered. It was all too proba-
BILE that this inquisitive body would
take up the nickel-in-the-slot machines
and find out who was behind them.
On both scores it was the part Of wis
dom and prudence to give the gambling
devices what is exprpssively known in
the vernacular as the marble heart.
1t is perfectly characteristic Of
cur tuppenny mayor that he could not
perform this simple duty without a
foolish attempt to turn it to party ad-
machines are largely an inheritance
from the preceding administration This
has the trifling disadvantage Of being
untrue, but of course that is not inn
portant in this funny fellows opinion
AS the G / o b showed, in its account
of these machines, many of them are
of patterns unknown before III this
city. But, suppose Mr.. Doran's state
to perceive that this makes the refiec-
ton upon him all the severer. If these
gambling devices were recent imports,
there would be some excuse for over

they have been running since the last
administration; that is to say, if he is
correct, that he and his precious po-
lice system have permitted the ordi-
nances of the city to be violated fla
grantly and generally for six months
without an effort to stop it. 1t re
minds one of the proud boast Of the
Pioneer Press that this years budget
is much less than one of two years ago,
under a Democratic administration;
forgetting to note that the only reduc-
ton made from those figures was that
of a year ago, also under a Democratic
administration. These antics Of peanut
politicians are sadly amusing to those
who are interested in good govern
ment and the preservation Of public Or
der, regardless of the party heads that
may be hit. We can forgive them,
however, if a reform is to be actually
accomplished, even under pressure.
The removal of the nickel-in-the-slot
machines is a gain to public morality.
Possibly the administration, again with
the grand jury in it's eye, may find
time next to consider the outrageous
character of a place Of public resort
whose horrible indecencies have been
exposed again and again in the public
prints; and which is now running, to
the shame and disgrace of this city,
without interference from the local ad-
ministration.
