WHERE ARE WE!

Easily first among those amusing
journals which are free traders be-
tween campaigns and red-hot protec-
tionists when an election is pending is
the Chicago Tribune. 1t not only urged
the election of Mr.. Mckinley. but 1t was
full, during the campaign, of argu-
ments to show that what the country
needed was more projections; that high
tariff and prosperity are synonymous.
and that American industry, including
the tin plate business, was in a pre-
car'ous way unless duties on imports
could be immensely increased. Since
the election of it's candidate and the
exhibition by Mr.. Dingley and his as
tariff bill, the Tribune is back on its
old low tariff platform. 1t is urgent
against the restoration of the duty on
wool, showing that this is a clear bonus
to the manufacturer, and raises the
price of a common necessary of life to
the poorest people in the country for
the benefit of nobody on earth save a
small class Of protected capitalists.
But that is not the extent of it's sim
full opposition to the party programme.
In recent issues it is breaking out all
over in free trade spots. Here is a sim
gle edition, for example, in which it
takes UP tin plate and cheap sugar.
AS to the former. it says anent the
proposed increase of duty in the Ding
ley bill: cit is doubtful whether any
revenue worth speaking of will be coll
lected under the higher duty, while
the fact that more protection is given
than is needed may put it into the
heads Of the tin plate manufacturers
20 combine for the purpose of getting
higher prices than they are entitled
to-" This is the conclusion of an arti-
Gle which shows that American tin
plate is cheaper than the foreign prod
uct after it has paid the present rate
of duty, and that American manufact-

WELL KILLED.

The state senate did q good thing in
one, the bill to make the office of the
railroad commissioners in this state
elective There was no argument be-
hind this measure except the vague and
universal desire for some sort Of
change. There is nothing in the nature
of things or in our own experience
to lead us to think that a railroad
commission chosen at the polls would
be more satisfactory TO the public or
do it's work in better fashion than one
selected by the governor. On the con-
trary, Minnesota has had some expert
ence Of her own with elective railroad
commissioners, and it is of kind that
does not stimulate the desire for re-
petition. The great and probably de-
cisive argument against the bill, how
ever, was the fact that by throwing
all these offices into the political pool,
to be played for at the polls, it would
necessarily destroy the non-partisan
arrangement now in effect, and result
in the choice Of a board solidly Demo
cratic, Republican or Populist, accord
ing as the election happened to turn
We know enough of politics in. general
and of political conventions in partic-
ular to be able to form a very accu-
rate idea of what would happen in such
a case. We can guess the sort of men
who would receive nominations, and
the sort Of influences that would be
brought to bear upon them both prior
to their nomination and after their
election -.,e.s ..--s.
The railroad commission is, or ought
to be, distinctly a judicial body. It's
members ought to be as free as it is
possible to make them from political
prepossessions, and ought-,to owe no
political debts. Even the average pol
tt1cian can see that to make these Of
fees elective would be to take very
large chances Of deterioration in the
quality Of the men who I'LL, them. Ger
tainly there is no sense in taking any
such chances, be they great or small
when nothing could possibly be gained
by it, We consider the killing of this
bill one Of the best pieces Of work Of
the session.

REMOVES THE ASSIGNEE
Not, However, Simply Because She
Was q Woman

In the matter OF the assignment of Grin
D. Brown to Mary c. Shandrew, Judge Otis
filed an order yesterday removing the as
slgnee and appointing William P Westfau in
her stead. The First National bank, of De-
troit, Mimi, made the application. The
memorandum accompanying the order sets
forth the courts reasons for the removal, as
follows: -
While the alleged grounds for removal arc
Of the designated assignee Is more a matter
Of inference than otherwise, still 1t does an
pear that she Is woman, a friend and
neighbor Of the assignor, for whom said as
signor had acted as agent in some of her
business transactions, and that she is employ-
ing as her attorney In the assignment mat
ter the same person who has previously act
ed as attorney for the assignor.
The opposing affidavits fail to disclose what
her business is or has been, or whether she
has any place Of business, or that she has
any aptitude or fitness for the particular
duties imposed on her by the assignment
/ think 1t is fairly to be presumed, in the
absence Of any showing to the contrary, that
she is without any such qualifications and
cannot but infer that she was named such
assignee as a matter of convenience ard to
save expense and enable the assignor to
manage the assigned property as he should
desire for his own personal interests. The
nature Of the assigned property and certain
transactions admitted 10 have been made be-
tween the assignor and his relatives require
that an assignee should be named capable OF
giving personal attention to all business de-
tails, and acting upon his own judgment as
to whether steps are to be taken for the
benefit Of creditors. and one who Is readily
accessible and wholly untrammeled by pre-
yious business or friendly relations.

AS to the question Of a sugar tariff
and sugar bounty, over which the aY-
erage Republican has gone daft just
now the Tribune says: Chairman
Dingley never has explained, nor have
anySof his predecessors done so, why
the United States should object If Ger
many, Austria Hungary, etc, choose
to tax themselves in order to
furnish the rest Of the world with
cheap sugar" This question is the gist
of an article following the lines on
which the G o b e has always pro-
ceeded, to argue why on earth the
millions Of sugar consumers in this
country should be taxed to make O.
necessary Of life which the foolish pa
ternalist governments of Europe are
anxious to supply to us at less than it
actually costs them to produce it. There.
are other things which the people of
the United States can do besides grow
ing sugar cane or sugar beets. They
have got along reasonably we'll In
the past with these industries limited
to the field that nature and the deveI-
opment of commerce assigned to them.
IL now, France and Germany and the
rest of Europe has got itself into a
hole by offering bounties for all sugar
production until it dare not withdraw,
and so sugar must be exported and
sold to US for less than cost to afford
market for product whose surplus
is a consequence Of the bounty policy,
why on earth should we shut it out,
forbid Europe to feed US at it's own
expense and insist that we must grow
our own sugar at our own expense?
The utterances Of the Tribune show
that, in the intervals between cam
paigns, the common sense and the ra-
tional self-interest of men can be de-
pended upon to keep their judgments
in order. The whole scheme of the

LICENSE ON PEDDLERS.
Bill Passes the House Committee of
the Whole.

The first Of the regular night sessions
under the new house rule was held last
evening, with Representative Law
pourn, the energetic member from Du-
luth In the chair. and quite a quantity
of business was transacted in the two
hours and a half
The Feig measure, to authorize tom
ships to license peddlers and huck-
Sters, stirred up quite a debate. The
lawyers on the judiciary committee.
1t was declared, had said the bill would
be unconstitutional if passed. Mr. Foss.
himself lawyer, said he thought the
bill would be all right if section 5,
which in effect sets forth that the pro
visions shall not apply to travelling
men, retail merchants. train boys, etc,
be excluded. The opposition to the bill
came from some of the city mem
berS and the farmers stood together for
fight. They explained that sharp fell
lows came to the country with seeders,
ranges and other articles which they
sold to guileless former folk at ex-
orbitant prices. Mr.. jacobson tacitIy
admitted that Mr.. Goes statement
that the $50 license fixed by the bill
was designed to bar these fellows. Mr.
Dahl sought to amend the $50 annual
license fee by substituting a tax of IS
a month. Messrs. Sloan and Abbott
thought the bill constitutional and
necessary. Mr.. Mcdonald quoted
authorities 20 the effect that legislation
such as that proposed was unconstitu-
tional. He saw through the bill, which
was an effort to keep city peddlers
from entering into and competing with
the country towns.
Mr.. Feig-Is it not true that there
are 300 peddlers in this city?
Mr.. McDonald-Yes. sIr-4O0.
Mr.. Barta-Just the number Of Mr..
McDonald's majority last fall. I would
suggest that further discussion on this
matter be deferred until the arrival
Of my Ramsey colleague, Mr.. Scott,
who represents the other 400.
The discussion went on, however; the
Dahl amendment failed, and, after
some heated argument, interspersed
with considerable humor. the farmers
prevailed and the bill was recommend
ed for passage.
Mr.. Jacobson feared the governor
might attach his veto to this bill as he
did in the case of the Anderson bill,
but said he ment to vote for it and take
the chance.
Mr.. Won Lehe urged that farmers
held the remedy in their own hands
and might not be forced to buy any
wares unless they wished.
When the Vail measure, increasing
the appellate jurisdiction of district
courts by adding appeals from munich
pal courts, was called the author sent
up an amendment making it apply
only to cities Of $4,000 or less. Mr.. Johns
opposed the amendment but preferred
the bill should pass, as changed, rather
than not at all. The committee felt so
disposed and after a brief debate rec
commended the bill to pass
The committee Of the whole, with
Representative Laybourn in the chair,
took action on the following bills as
indicated:
fl. F. 100 (Schmidt)-To establish the office
Of state fire marshal. Indefinitely postponed.
Fl. F. 742 Substitute for II. F. SOL Appro-
pItations coTamittee)-To appropriate ~. COO Tor

grounds. Amended to provide that the bcard

who now rule the legislature Of this
country.
So the Dingley bill Is through the
house. 1t represents all that patriots
ought to loathe and abhor. It rep
resents a. complete breach Of faith with
those Democrats who unwisely sur
rendered their convictions last fall and
supported Mr.. Mckinley on the suppo-
sition that only moderate tariff bill
would be exacted.1 1t gives the lie to
every profession that was made at that
time in the hope Of securing Demo
cratic support. 1t carries to the ex-
tremest length ever heard or dreamed
of the principle of taxing the many
for the benefit of the few. It is the
most tyrannical, oppressive and in
iquitous measure that an American
congress has sanctioned The only ex-
cuse that can be offered for it's authors
and supporters is that they are not free
agents, but are bound to do the will
Of their masters, the big manufacturers
of the country. Such an act calls for
the union of all Democrats to fight
to the end its iniquities and the prin-
ciple which it represents. Now as
never before there is need of united
Democracy to restore free govern
ment to this country. and to take the
hands of monopoly from the throat Of
industry. Better, a thousand times
better, a worse depression than We
have felt for years past than the state
of abject servitude to our task mas
tiers, which the Dingley bill makes our
model
There are hundreds of thousands Of
Republicans in this country today who
feel almost as intensely as Democrats
do upon this subject. There are men
enough to turn the scale in nine-t enths
Of the states Of the Union, who voted
for Mckinley last fall, and who will
tell you today that they regard the
Dingley bill as an outrage and a vio-
lation of good faith. They will tell
you that they are ready to support any
Democratic ticket on the basis of OPP
position to a law that -McKinleys
