7s a
publican party in Alabama has been
engaged for some years past in an at
tempt to obtain power by fusion with
the Populists. 1t has proposed to
and anything else that might be nee
essary to obtain the support Of the
voters who have been mustered I'M
der the lead of Capt. Kolb. 1t was to
the assistance of Kolb that Senator
Hoar called the Home Market club, of
Boston; and Kolb, with all his vagar-
les upon his head, has been an object
of affectionate solicitude to the very
same leaders who are now declaring
that Mr. Carter has forfeited his title
to Republicanism. Awhile they are
reading men out of the party out in
Montana, they are still at the brother
hood business down SIN Alabama
At meeting this week 100 leading Re-
publicans and Populists foregathered
together in order to see how they
might support a common ticket. This
hobnobbing resulted in a declaration
that the two parties should hold their
conventions on the same day and at
the same place,9so that the Populists
might declare for free coinage and the
Republicans against it, If the ext
gencles or the national situation
should seem to demand it, Then they
are to nominate fusion ticket (which
will not. in any instance, violate the
distinctive principles of either party"
This is the ingenious and beautiful
plan of Capt Kolb, who, we doubt
not, will have the support and sym
pathy of Senator Hoar and his fellow
Republicans i'll congress.
The object proposed is certainly ra-
tional in one respect It would
be impossible for any platform
or any nominee to violate the
distinctive principles" Of political
parties that entered into any
such compact. They would have no
principles distinctive or otherwise, to
violate. Their scheme is to divide the
offices, If possible, and any old thing
will do for platform. If the Repub-
licans should oppose free coinage and
the Kolbites support it, then the union
of their forces might gather in a lot
of voters from both sides Of the fence.
Of course, there is nothing to fear
from any such movement as this
There never is anything to fear where
principle is absent and only appetite
rules. But the interesting fact which
we commend to the consideration and
explanation Of our Republican friends
is that they are as thick as hops
with the free coinage fellows down in
Alabama, and willing to go hand and
glove with them, to win an election,
while they are reading men out of the
party in Montana and other states for
holding precisely; the, same views as
their selected partners in the South.
Consistency has never been a special
attribute of Republicans, but this vio-
lation of it is a little grosser than
common.

THEY CAN'T saUIRM OUT OF 1T.

The efforts of our Republican con-
Mckinley law did not do what was ex-
pressly declared in it's title to be its
purpose, and to show that the Cor
man act did exactly what it's title said
ing. 1t is a queer dilemma that they
find themselves in, this necessity to
discredit their own act and to con-
firm that Of the Democrats in order
that they may be able to find some
support for their assertion that there
Is deficiency of revenue on which
alone they base their proposition for
increasing the tax rates. They delve
among the statistics of the treasury
to get data for demonstration that
an act ''to reduce revenue" increased
revenue and that one "to reduce tax
alton" diminished revenue They thus
prove to their entire satisfaction that
the Mckinley act was a failure and the
German act a success.
To obtain the statistics on which to
base this contradictory demonstration
they make a careful selection Of peri
DDS, so as to present the most favor
able aspect for their case and the
most unfavorable one for the other
side. This is the practice of the petit
logger, not of the man DESTROYS to get
at the truth. The Pioneer Press de-
scends to these methods and blunders
even in the figures it presents in sup
port of It's proposition. 1t takes for
comparison the first ten and sixteen
months receipts from all sources of
the Mckinley law and the Wilson"
act, when it knows that the periods
under the Mckinley act were the 'last
hot quarter" Of an Industrial condi-
ton being driven under the spur of a
rotten monetary policy into the panic
of 1898. 1t knows that the periods as
signed to theWilson bill were times of
slow and difficult recuperation from the
Republican panic, when imports and
exports both fell off under the short
ened purchasing capacity of the peo-
pie.
But policies are to be judged by their
general trend and not by selected and
special periods of their operation. We
have heretofore shown by the statistics
Of the treasury that the Mckinley act
was true to its declared purpose "to
reduce revenue" We have given the
annual totals Of receipts under it. We
have shown by the same means the
assistance given Mckinley by the ap-
preparations committees in increasing
the annual expenditures. For the sake
of refreshing memories we repeat them
here, taking the fiscal years:

AFTER VILE PAPERS.
Rev. j. W.. COnIey Urges More
Active Crusade.

AT the First Baptist church vester-
day morning, Rev. j. w. Conley
selected the raising of Lazarus as an
incident from which he drew lessons
bearing upon the revival meetings,
which the church iss about to hold.
There were certain elements in the hui
man side Of the narrative, which sug-
gested important truths in relation to
Christian work.
The people brought Jesus to where
the man lay. There-were people to-
day, he said, whom we could not in
duce to come to Jesus. We must take
Him to them, by living out His Cos
pei in business and social life and in
our homes. X ~
If we live near Christ he said, those
who will not come to 2Him9will recognize Him
when He is brought to them in the lives Of
devoted, godly, conscientious men and wom-
en-; their prejudices will be broken down,
receive the truth. After they reached the
tomb Jesus commanded them to roll away
the stone. Unquestionably He could have re-
moved it with less exercise of divine power
dead man, but it was something the people
could perform, and so He called on them
to do it. So there are things that we can
do to prepare the way for the coming of
Christ into the hearts of men. There are
stones of misconception, In reference to re-
igion. Many people refuse to have anything
because of their misconceptions regarding it.
They do not understand the wonderful force
of Gods compassion in Jesus Christ. Then
there are good many Instructions in the way
which we have placed there. 1t is a poor
excuse for persons to urge against receiving
the Lord Jesus that some of those who pro-
fess to be Christians are inconsistent, but
1t is fact that such things do keep many
away. 1t may be some miserable sin, some
wretched habit, some small, mean thing in
business, some irregular social custom; with
some 1t is thing, with some another,
and when these stones are removed there will
be a mighty resurrection of the dead in sin.
There are many stones in the shape Of insti-
tutions of death that ought to be taken out
of the way / think one of the greatest Is
the saloon. and one of the next is the Sun
day theater, or the week day theater, for
that matter. Another institution of death is
the vile periodical, reekipg with filth, ex-
posed on every hand standing in the way of
souls that ought to be saved. 1t is time
for the people of God to insist that some of
these things shall bee shipped; to say that
we are going to have some kind of respect
for law and decency, and to give the gospel.

THE DELAWARE VACANCY.

The decision of the senate in the
case Of Dupont, claiming a seat as
senator from Delaware, would have
an interest in Minnesota, apart from
it's aspects in the senate, because of
the fact that the validity of Dupont's
election hinges on the question wheth-
er a senator, becoming governor by
the death of the incumbent, thereby
loses his function of senator. 1t would
have a greater interest were the de-
cisions of that body strictly judicial
and impartial instead of partisan, and
had the senate shown itself entitled
to general respect and confidence. In
this state the Office of governor be-
came vacant by the election of Gov.
Nelson to the senate. 1t was filled, as
provided by the constitution, by the
succession of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
If vacancy occur in the latter office,
the constitution provides that the pres
ident pro tempore of the senate shall
be acknowledgements. That officer
is merely ex off1cio the presiding off,
Ger and has no vote Senator Day,
having been chosen president pro tenn
pore, became ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. He
insisted on retaining his duties as SEN
ator, and on one occasion his vote
as senator determined the enactment
Of a law.
This gives additional interest here to
4I4 MI
governor died. Watson had been elect
ed speaker Of the senate Under the
constitution he exercised the office Of
governor. He took the oath of office
of governor, but retained his seat and
speakership of the senate. When the
election Of a senator came on he pre-
sided, without objection, over the joint
session Of the legislature Thirty votes
fifteen. Sixteen were necessary for a
choice. Watson voted for one of the
other candidates. If he was ineligible,
there were but twenty nine votes cast,
and Dupont was elected by a majority
of one If he was eligible, then there
there was no election. The majority
of the senate committee on elections
report in favor Of seating Dupont on
the ground that Watson, becoming
governor, ceased to be senator.
This decision ignores the precedents
established in the senate in former
cases. It assumes right to inquire
into the eligibility Of legislators,
power denied in 1873 in the case of
Spencer VS.. Sykes. 1t also reverses the
ground taken when the first Montana
senators were admitted, over the OBJ
lection that there were frauds and
irregularities in the legislature that
chose them, the senate holding that
it could not Ego behind the returns"
and investigate the legislature. Those
decisions rested on sound grounds. If
a senate can decide the eligibility of
legislatures, 1t puts 1t in the power OF
any party having majority in the
senate TO retain power by instigating
legislative contests and deciding the
case in favor Of itself 1t is the mar
row margin in the senate now that
makes the temptation to gain control
by seating Dupont and inspires this
action.

statistician, show the momentum Of
the two policies, the steady tendency
of the Mckinley policy to decrease rev.
enue under increased taxation, accom-
panied with the increase of expendi-
lures shown by the jump from $1S,6OO,-
900 before to $31, 300, 900 in the following
three months. They show the steady
effect of the German act to increase
the revenue with q reduction In ex-
penditures made less than it might
have been but for the permanent appro-
priations fastened on the treasury by
the Mckinley congress.

Mankato Editor Thinks Nelson's

J. G. Wise Jr editor Of the Mankato
Review, was at the Windsor yesterday
According to Mr. Wise, the politi-
clans in Blue Earth county have not
yet warmed up sufficiently to give any
thing like correct idea of the probable
candidates who are to come up for po-
litical honors during the next cam
paign. However, hard fight Is being
made for delegates to the national con-
vention, to be held in st. Louis next
June. There are several candidates in
the field who are anxious to go down,
but there are no sure things.

A more accurate and convincing
demonstration of the tendencies Of
these two measures and the policies
they embodied, is their average month
1y effects, not for selected periods, but
for the whole time of their operation.
The Mckinley act went into operation
Oct 6, 1890, and continued unchanged
until Aug. 2S, 1894, when the Cor
man act superseded it. The one was
"to reduce revenue" the other to "re-
duce taxation and provide revenue"
