WHOSE FUNERAL?

Chairman Pusey of the democratic
state committee of South Dakota has
called meeting of the committee over
which he has the embarrassment to pre-
side to convene at Sioux Falls on March
l2. The probable purpose of the meet
ing is to arrange for the obssquies OF
one or the other of the democratic or
populistic parties of that state Under
the provision of the ballot reform act
passed by South Dakota last year there
can be no duplication of names on the
same ballot. This precludes fusion of
any two parties by the duplication OF
names under separate headings. If
fusion is desired it must be made under
the name of one or the other of the
partisan organizations TO the pact. This
is the presumable cause for the con-
vention of Chairman Puseys commit
tee. It has become question of whose
funeral it shall be and which camp,
democratic or populist. shall furnish the
corpse. Whatever action may be taken
by the committee will scarcely affect
the result of this years election in
South Dakota. The republican vote is
certain to increase largely.

cRew1H OF LIVESTOCK BUSINESS.

The annual report of the Union
Stockyards Company, of Chicago,
which has just been published. shows
the receipts of livestock for the past
year to have exceeded those of any
nrevious wear by an astonishing plural
ity. Not only did TIE receipts aggre-
gate over 100000 head of cattle. hogs
and sheep more than ever before, but
the cash values broke previous records
by nearly s21,Ooo,ooo. The receipts
were more than half a. million head. or
thousands of carloads the greatest in
the history of the livestock business
in Chicago. Kansas City, Omaha and
other livestock markets also had a
prosperous year.
Most of this immense number lof
hogs, cattle and sheep came from that
norton of the middle west which our
fathers included in the great Ameri-
can desert 1t is we'll within the
memory of older citizens when the first
four cars of livestock were shipped to
eastern markets. Less than fifty years
ago a Buffalo, n. Y. newspaper. COM
menting upon this shipment, said: "A
consignment of four car loads of cattle
from the prairies of Illinois passed
thru Buffalo today" and in further
comment stated the possibility of con-
siderable growth in the business in
stitited by the four car load shipment.
All this was in the later fifties, be-
fore the lumber Cor Iowa, Dakota AMI
other western stockyards had done
growing in the forests; and now the
possibilities discovered by the Buffalo
newspaper have developed into vol

many times over the purchase price

could not be collected on goods COM
ing from the islands to this country.
The house bill enacted into law OF
congress the insular tariff framed by
the Philippine commission, and applle0
the full Dingley tariff to Philippine
goods coming to American ports. This
would give the specific authority OF
law for want of which the supreme
court held the collection of duties il
legal. The action of the house was not
in accordance with the recommends
tion of the Philippine commission,
which desired a reduction of 80 pei
cent on expectations from the islands
to the United States. The senate COM
mittee therefore framed bill making
u reduction of % per cent ana allow
ing a drawback equal to the export
duty collected in the islands on the
same product.
The history of this legislation is
little like that for Porto Rico last WIN
ter; only there was more popular In
terest in Porto Rico, and tariff legisla-
ton for it underwent more violent
changes. 1t will be remembered thai
the duty proposed to be collected on
imports from Porto Rico was gradu-
ally forced down TO Is per cent of the
Dingley tariff. 1t is estimated that the
actual duty collected on the main
Philippine products under the senate
bill, after the export duty has beer
returned, would be about two thirds OF
the Dingley tariff. This would give
some advantage to American trade
with the Philippines. and would slim
ulate the expectation to this country
of sugar and tobacco now largely kept
out by the tariff.
1t is understood that many cargoes
of both articles are now on the way.
in the hope to get into the country
before legislative barriers have been
set up. They are quite likely to sue
coed unless the house should accept
the senate bill pretty promptly. A
long fight like that over Porto Rico,
ending in compromise is conference
committee near the end of the session,
would give the country full taste OF
free trade with the islands. Possibly
this would arouse public interest one
way or the other and hasten legisla-
ton by popular mandate.

benignant character has created q

THE M,KlNLEY MEMORIAL.

The nation paused moment yester-
day amid the hurly-burly of princely
receptions and Tilmanite antagonisms
to pay tribute to the late President
Mckinley. It was like injecting sec
ton of the peaceful past into the fever
tsh present AS the vast crowd in the
national capitol listened to the glowing
encor,ium of Secretary Hay. the figure
of the lamented statesman and patriot
rose again In majestic form to reyivify
the lessons of his life and the tragedy of
his death.
It Is notable that Secretary Hay, who
learned to esteem him not only as
personal friend but as pilot and guide
of a great nation, classed him in a
group of three great Americans, OF
which washington and Lincoln formed
the other two As the martyred presi-
dent recedes from view he seems more

TARIFF WITH DEPENDENCIES.
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune.1

The senate has passed the Philippine
tariff bill, after a debate so tedious
and irrelevant that most persons have
forgotten what it is all about. This
is not a bin, as many may have sup
posed from the speeches made upon
it, to settle the question of American
ownership of the Philippines, or even
that of American political policy there.
1t has no relation to the instruction
or to military occupation. 1t is not
a bill to punish American soldiers for
cruelty or to give the islands indie
pendence It's text has no bearing on
the relative physical prowess of Sen
ators Tillman and McLauiin. All
these things got into the debate some
how. but the bill is plain measure
relating to the tariff on trade between
the Philippine islands and the United
States.
1t is the bill reported by Senator
Lodge from the Philippine committee
to take the place of the tariff bill hast
