Would Paralyze the Tea Trade.

AS to tea, the minister says, the sud
den change of the policy of the United
States from free importation toa duty
of 80 to 100 per cent has awakened in
the japanese mind the gravest fear for
the stability of the tea industry, for
years in a depressed condition, although
furnishing two-thirds of the tea import
ed into the United States.
The minister says hat while the i'm
perial government does not share the
general belief that this legislation was
intended to discriminate against Jap
anese commerce, it is an unfortunate
coincidence that the imports from
Japan most %injuriously affected are
sp~ecialties of Japanese production.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1897-06-21

The articles Of Japanese production
that will be most seriously affected, says
the protest, are light weight silks, silk
handkerChiefs, mats, hemp ard lute,
rug, carpets and tea. In tl- case Of
silks, the minister says the proposed
duty will amount to an ad valorem rate
of between 81 and 100 per cent, and
upon haudkcrchiefs, the duty will be 10
per cent more. These rates, it is stated,
are practically prohihitory and bear
upon silks peculiar to Japan. 4 prosper
Gus trade has been built in Japanese,
mattings, now admitted free, and In
general use among the poorer classes
The proposed duty, says the minister,
will be 50 heavy that the trade cannot
survive in this article, not now AM
featured i'll the United States. The
duty on hemp, jute, rugs and carpets
will amount to nearly 50 per cent. and
be another severe blow to japanese
commerce.

MORE SCHOOL Room.

On SEVERAL occasion S the HERALD
has called attention to the fact, a fact
which is emphasizing itself more loud
ly every day, that TT lis city must pro-
coed at once to provide better and
more abundant far cilities for its pub
lie schools. Not only is every room
crowded, but even with all the pack
ing possible, tn ere is not sutficiency
of room. In the High School there
are about eighty scholars, and the en-
tire seating capacity is only sufficient
for seventy. The graduating class
numbers but eleven, where as the
eighth grade has over sixty students,
at least one half of whom will ask for
admission to the high school next year
what is to be done with this increase?
The graded rooms are all over crowd
ed; the leased room is inadequate.
The only remedy is to be found in at
once providing not less than three
large rooms. There may be difference
of opinion how best to do it, but none
at all as to the absolute necessity OF
doing it. Several plans are suggested,
none without favorable and objection
able features unfortunately the favor
able features have taken full posses
sian of the minds of some who have
who have given the matter conside-
ration, while others only see the OBJ
jectionable. Something must be done.
1t is not to early to seriously consider
what and how. The most sensible plan
would be for the school board to call
into session with itself a score or more
of representative men interested in the
movement for an informal discussion,
to agree upon plan, if possible, and
then call a mass meeting to openly dis
cuss the plan SO agreed upon, in all
its phases. Some action should be
taken without delay.

POOLED PIETY.

ST. Cloud proposes to attempt the
impossible. Despairing of securing a
protestant congregation in any one OF
her several churches, it is the purpose
to bunch the church goers all under
one roof, in one organization, and try
the experiment of getting a scriptural
congregation of 1.-TWO or three gath
cred together And these are the
churches that propose to go into the
pool: Baptist, Congregational, Pres
byterian, Methodist and Unitarian,
and committee. is now at work at
tempting to draw a creed which will
embrace close communion, liberality,
freewill agency, predestination, epis-
copacy, congregational government,
tritarianism, unitarianism, eternal
damnation, universal salvation, and,
perhaps, humiliation. Talk about
perpetual motian-it is an easy pro-
blem compared with the work of this
committee. Perpetual commotion will
about hit it. Some one facetiously
remarked of certain church that it
preached neither politics nor religion.
But the st. Cloud syndicate will deal
in all kinds of both commodities. The
platform, creed, confession of faith,
or whatever it may be called, is en-
bodied in the following propositions:
''We believe in the fatherhood of God,
and brotherhood of man, and in the
life, teachings and character of Jesus
Christ. ;" That is all right providing
a minister can be found to expound
this creed to the mutual satisfaction
of Methodist and Unitarian Perhaps
but the world awaits the result with
bated breath. The purpose is a laud-
able one, and accomplished, ST. Cloud
will be entitled to a triple halo about
It's sanity head.

ENTHUSIASTIC AS EVER.

Senator Keller never takes hold of
any matter, either commercial or Leg
islative. that he does not enter into it
heartily, and usually effectively. He
has inaugurated movement looking
toward the production of beet sugar
on an extensive scale in Minnesota,
and he is going to the bottom of the
matter. Early in the session he moved
the appointment of a committee, and
he proposes that it shall do the work
entrusted to it. The legislative re-
cord of Tuesday says:
Senator Keller is about disguised
with the dilatory practices of the SEN
ate with his beet sugar industry
scheme. Mr.. Keller said yesterday
that if the senate did not give him per-
mission he would do his work single
handed and at his own expense. He
will visit Nebraska and other states
with or without the senator's consent
and he will make his own report.
why" said he, there is money ly-
ing around in this state waiting to be
picked up if we only have sense enough
to do it. have no doubt that we can
raise the best sugar in the world right
here in Minnesota and if can do any
thing to help this great industry get a
start in our stale will do it, senate
or no senate. Senator Keller is very
enthusiastic over his work and ex-
poets to meet with great success.

A Lesson Of labor.

A dispatch from California q short
time since reported that asbody of
workmen in that State had taken some
Japanese workmen and had strung
them up to trees, nearly strangling
them. When cut down, they were told
to ''get out" or worse would follow.
The reason for this was that the Japs
worked SO cheaply that the other work
men could not compete against them.
There is probably not a workman in
this country who does not consider it
a tremendous evil and direct injury
to him that foreign workmen come
here who are willing to work for star
walton wages and who, by SO doing,
are the means of cutting down wages.
The object of the Contract Labor law
was to lessen this evil, and it has les
sened it to certain extent. Immi-
grants coming here of their own ac-
cord and without special inducement
come for the purpose of lettering their
condition, of getting better wages, and
they are not willing to work for the
wages they got at home. There is not
workman in the country who would
fight the repeal of the contract labor
law; there is not a citizen who would
dare openly to urge it's repeal. And
yet thousands upon thousands of
workmen are willing that we should
hire these foreigners in their own
country at their pauper wages to do
our work. Their is no difference be-
tween bringing over foreign workmen
by contract to work in this country at
their home wages and contracting to
bring over and import free into this
country the goods produced at their
homes by those workman at their pau
per wages; except that in the former
case the little pittance which those
workmen earned would be spent in
this country while in the latter case
i. ee. under Free-Trade it would be
spent in their own countries. The in
telligent worlmen of the country are
fast coming to realize this vital truth.
The cause of Free-Trade is on the
down grade Economist.

MINNESOTA is anxious to stimulate
immigration, which is all we'll enough
providing sufficient discrimination is
shown both in quality and proper dis
tribution. The state wants only the
best foreign immigrants, and to such
it offers the best. 1t is not numbers
a mere desire to swell population that
is desired. This state is not anxious
to current itself into a penal col
ony a eelemosynary institution, a
kindergarten for advanced pupils or
a sanitarium for their crippled in mind
or body, neither has it any desire to
build up within her borders solid col
onies into which shall be transplanted
the language, customs and prejudicies
of continental Europe, impregnable
communities which will be sufficiency
into themselves, without incentive or
desire to accept the genius of citizen
ship. For the other classes there is
abundant opportunity and cordial
welcome.

ON THE BOARD.

Governor Clough has appointed G.
M. Sprague of this city member of
the State Board of Equalization, and
the HERALD believes that in doing so
he has, unconsciously, perhaps, in
PRODUCED little leaven into that i'm
portant body, which will leaven the
whole lump. 1t is needed. Mr.. Sprague
has given the subject of taxation, and
the relations to that subject of the or
gained machinery for practically as
sessing and levying taxes the closest
attention and much thought. He re-
cOgnizes the fact that there are, under
the laws as executed, determinations
and inequalities in taxation as be-
tween various classes of property
which need correction. He believes
that it is the function of equalizing
boards to equalize mot to re-assess.
He believes that local assessors and
boards have, in the nature of things,
more accurate knowledge of true and
relative values of individual pieces of
property which they are charged with
valueing, than a remote board or body
of men who have only theories of
what ought to be, to guide them in
their specific judgment.
In short, he will apply business
methods, business knowledge and bust
ness sense to the deliberations and
conclusions of a body which has to
deal with the aggregate business inter-
ests of the state. 1t may be a violent
departure from present methods. but
he will lead the way and be content
with nothing short of it's accomplish
ment. Governor Clough made wise
selection, and the state will have oc-
casion to approve it.

Tax laws will take up much time be-
fore the session ends. There will be
further attempts to revise the tax laws,
even though the senate did kill the
Green bill for revision of these laws.
Mineral taxing and express company
taxing are two of the important
branches of the subject, and bills for
both have already been brought in.
Senator Miller, author Of the law de-
claring express companies to be COM
mon carriers, which has been sustained
by the supreme court, brought in new
bill in the senate some time ago for an
excise tax, like that i'll Ohio, on express
companies, but soon realizing that such
bills must originate in the house, he
dropped his senate bill and got Mr..
Dyer to introduce the same bill in the
house day or two since. Taxes on
mining property have been under con-
sideration for some time in the house,
and the end on both these classes Of
property for taxation is nowhere near
being in sight. B. S. CowEN. !.

GALTEE-MORE.
Marcus Daily Offers Fancy Price for
the Thoroughbred.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Marcus DAILY,
the Montana copper king and turfman,
passed through Chicago to-day en-
route to Butte. Mr.. DAILY stopped
over in the city one hour between
trains, just long enough to make the
highest bid ever recorded for a thor
oughbred in America. The following
brief cable tells the story:
''To Mr.. Gubbins, Knocknany stud.
Knocknany, Ireland: Will give S125.-
600 cash and half his turf winning for
Galtee- More. Marcus Daily, Bitter
Creek stud farm, Montana
This done, Mr.. DAILY said in answer
to question put to MIN by report
er: Il want Galtee-More because |
think he is the greatest thoroughbred
of the age. l know the stock he comes
from, and his progeny should be as
valuable as his ancestry. For my
part, 1 would not care to race him
much. l would retire him to Bitter
Creek stud after season or two of
racing"
While higher prices have been Of
fered, it is doubtful if $125, 900 was
ever bid by an American for a runner.

WHERE Is THE SEA LARK2
There is f1uch Anxiety Over the Non.
Arrival of the Training Shin.

PORTSMOUTH, June 23-Consjdera-
BILE anxiety is felt at the on-arriyal
here, TO take part in the great naval re-
view, of the British training brig Sea
Lark.
She was due here last Thursday. but
has not been seen since she left Daven-
port. 1t is believed the brig experienced
the full force of the recent gales. and
being under sail and managed by forty
one officers and men and eighty boys,
some mishap is feared.
Two special service vessels which
were dispatched to search for the miss
ing brig between Portsmouth and Da-
venport have returned without finding
any trace of the Sea Lark.
The Sea Lark left Queens Ferry on
the 18th for Portsmouth. On the 18th
she reported herself off Grimsby as
somewhat disabled, and as having been
delayed by head winds.

manding that the basis should be on
the vote for Crane for Governor in
1890 instead of Weaver for Elector in
1896, because the latter did not repre-
sent the Populists, but the Democrats
also.
Pandemonium reigned for an hour
but his motion was declared laid on
the table. The usual committees were
appointed, and the one on fusion was
led by Weaver.
The majority is in favor of fusion
but Weeks declares he and his fol-
lowers will withdraw from the conven-
ton if fusion is agreed to. They num-
Der at least one-third of the conven-
ton, which is we'll attended.
The Free Silver Republicans had lit
tie trouble in agreeing. A resolution
was adopted agreeing to use the name
Democratic" for the fusion ticket this
year on account of the anti-fusion law.
The Conference Committee on Fusion
was headed by Judge D. Purrier, who
wants a Free Silver Republican for
Governor.
The convention adjourned early this
evening, having completed it's work.
The two allied conventions, the Silver
and the Populist Conven-
tions, completed their work slightly in
advance. The three factions were, af-
ter much controversy, able to agree on
one platform, with free silver as the
main idea, and one ticket, composed of
two Democrats, two Silver Republicans
and one Populist. The ticket will be
placed on the official ballot under the
name Democrat.
The ticket is composed as follows:
Governor, F. E. White. Democrat. Keo-
kuk, Iowa; Lieutenant Governor, B. A.
Plummer Silver Republican, Winneba-
go County; Judge of the Supreme Court,
L. G.. Kinne, Democrat, of Polk County;
Railroad Commissioner, S. B. Grain, Pop
ulist, Dallas County; Superintendent of
Instruction, G. F. Rhinehart, Silver Re-
publican.
DR.. White, the candidate for Govern
or. was formerly a member of Congress
from the Sixth District. He was de-
feated for reelection last year by John
F.. Lacey. He is an out-and-out free
silver man, and he has an established
reputation as a good campaigner. Mr..
Whites main competitor for the nomin-
alton of Governor was j. r. Burgess of
Ottumwa, a Cleveland Postmaster, who
supported Bryan. His candidacy was
pushed by the younger men. Half a
dozen other candidates were placed in
nomination, but Ex-Governor Boies'
name was hardly mentioned in the con-
vention. Judge Kline is Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court now. He sup
ported Bryan last year, but under some
protests. He is prominent Democrat.
