senate and brag and sputter.
Mr.. Gallinger expressed sIrlgiSe
that senators should be accused of
speaking for the applause of the gals
leries. Mr.. Hale protested against this
reference to tilibusteriEg and declared
that there would be no unIt cessary
delay on the resolution. After a fair
discussion it would be voted on. He
was as anxious as anyone, he said. to
see the resolution out of the way. Mr..
Haley spoke briefly.
The conference report on the Indian
bill was presented and agreed to.
At cabinet meeting Tuesday the
president and his advisors expressed
mutual satisfaction over the prompt
response the senate had made to the
Cuban message. The method of the
distribution of food supplies and med
icines for the relief of suffering Amer
leans in Cuba was not discussed as
that it considered purely matter of
detail. 1t probably will be left to the
discretion of the secretary of state as
the distribution of relief to the Missis-
sipp flood sufferers was to the secre-
tary of war. 1t is stated on the author
ity of a cabinet officer that there is no
necessity for sending a warship with
supplies and that nothing of that sort
is contemplated.

in insolent triumph Then came the
assassination Of the president by Gull
teau, a half-crazed seeker after ap-
pointment, killing the president be-
cause he did not get the place he want
ed. The nation was brought with
shocking suddennness to the culmina-
ton Of the spoils; system, the incar-
nation in the assassin Of its spirit.
Universally the murder was charged
to that vicious system. Politicians af-
fected to pooh-peoh Ythe sentiment.
The senate refused Pendleton's motion
to consider his BILL s.
Then followed the congressional cleo
tons in 1882. The civil service reform
entered into the campaigns. The as
sassination Of Garfield was charged to
the spells system. The charge was
generally taken to be true. The Forty
seventh congress stood 146 Republicans
to 1873 Democrats, with ten independ-
ents. The Forty-eighth congress, chos-
en- in 1882 stood 1913 Democrats to 124
Republicans, and one Independent. The
verdict was accepted as a rebuke Of
the Republican majority for it's hos
tility to the reform Of the civil service.
The Republicans in the senate admit
ted this by Immediately hunting up
the Pendleton bill and passing 1t. The
Republican house also admitted the
meaning Of the elections and passed
it by the great majority noted. The
measure was more sweeping than the
Jenkes act. 1t gave the president pow
er to extend the lists by executive or
der. The reform was established; the
spoils system was discarded. The peo-
pie had decreed and congress submit
ted. VIII Republican congressman
now invite repetition Of the punish
ment inflicted upon their party fifteen
years ago?

The elevator company even owns 1000
cars engaged in transporting grain.
When the crush came the corn and
the oats that lay In the elevators in
the way Of the wheat were loaded into
beats, where they will lie all winter lln-
til the opening of navigation in the
spring, when they will be shipped
away.
These elevators were not constructed
for taking grain from boats, but for
elevating from cars and loading into
boats. For be it remembered that
heretofore Chicago has employed boats
to ship her grain East only This IS
the first instance in the history of the
city where wheat has been brought
here in bottoms. But expedients have
been put into operation and the grain Is
fast disappearing into the vast gra-
naries.
So here we see how the great house
or Armour has reached out its hands
over the entire middle West and North
west, massing fleets at Duluth and pre-
empting hundreds of trains of freight
cars that 1t may have the wherewith-
al to meet its obligations. It had the
granaries and it secured the wheat and
effected its transportation If 1t had
had the wheat but lacked the elevators
1t would have constructed the elevators
Had 1t lacked the ships possibly 1t
would have emulated the exploit Of
Commodore Perry and built its ships
for the occasion.
BY the way, the firm already owns
and operates line Of grain steamers.
Perhaps the "old man" has made a
million or so out Of the deal. Perhaps
he has dropped a million. In either
case the reader will never know. for the
"old man" will win silently or pay his
loss without wlncing.
But he has brought Goals to New
castle. He has accomplished a feat on
the commercial world as signal and as
brilliant in its way as Napoleon's pas
sage of the Alps and demonstrated
once again that tradition cannot
put limitation upon the originality Of
his actions.
No man will know until settling day
has come and gone whether the odd
man" has called the bluff Of the BOOM
ers hard enough to make them lay
down their hands.
Meanwhile the riverway is blocked
with great steamers and huge barges
and thei captains are fighting for
berths at the elevators.

SENSE AGAINST NONSENSE.

The Wadena Tribune says: eff the citi-
zens of Canada can get out the logs, saw

prices than we. can do the same. Canadian

dams can get the lumber prepared for mar

makes it possible for the sawmills to run in
Minnesota, employing thousands OF men and
paying living wages That is what the Re
publican tariff Is for, and the people Of the
Sixth district appreciate the benefits they get
from the increased rate.-Anoka Herald.
The Wadena Tribune speaks for the
men who buy lumber and use 1t in
house and barn and fence building.
The Anoka Herald speaks for the few
men who buy stumpage and make the
lumber. The Tribune speaks for a
million, where the Herald speaks for a
hundred. There is another difference.
The Tribune speaks the words Of truth
and common sense The Herald speaks
the language of untruth and nonsense.
The Canadians do not pay lower wages.
Labor moves unrestrictedly, and the
law Of demand and supply would draw
labor from the lower to the higher
wage region. The facts support the
theory. Two years ago woodmen went
from this state to Canada because the
wages there were higher. They will
come this way If the condition Is re-
versed
Carroll D. Wright, our labor COM
missioner, was asked by the senate
finance . committee to report on the
wage rate in the lumber industry in
Canada and this country. His report Is
on page 1908 of the Congressional Rec
ord for June, 1897. The editor of the
Herald should get and study 1t. He
would know more after 1t, perhaps.
Sufficient for this purpose Is Mr..
Wright's statement that the cost Of
labor in five mills in the United States
in 1000 feet of lumber was s1.46 cents;
in five mills In Canada s1.4164. No 81
tax or any tax whatever is needed to
make 1t possible for saw mills to run
in Minnesota" or anywhere else In
this country. 1t is only necessary in
order that the gang who own the
stumpage and run the mills can make
the men who use. the, lumber pay 50
more thousand for it than they would
but for the tax. That Is all there IS

DEFICITS ALL ALONG THE LINE.

Some years ago, when the customs
and internal revenues were SURPRISING
the expenditures, before Republican
congresses had discovered that the way
to reduce a surplus was to spend more
instead of reducing taxation, Col. Fred
Grant, a candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor Of New York, jauntily observed
in one of his speeches that ut is easier
to handle surplus than deficit"
Thereafter congress began to handle
the surplus easily, and the result has
been the disappearance of the surplus
and the appearance in it's stead Of
deficit now getting to be chronic. But
this Republican method Of getting rid
Of the excess of money in the public
fisc, by increasing the expenditure, in
itiated by the Fifty-irst congress, has
been adopted by that party wherever
it has obtained control of the public
purse. It's press occasionally points
