Feeling in the Dark.

st. Clair McKelwey's double loaded
declaration in favor of the nomination Of
Grover Cleveland to the presidency next
year, recalls the fact that this same pre-
eminent democrat, not many moons since,

presidential timber. and available. The
transfer Of McKelway's favor to the vet
eran who put his legs under the White
House mahogany for two terms, can be
explained only by the probability that the
Brooklyn editor has heard something
drop. The recent discovery that. Parker
record shows that he has not been con-
sistent gold democrat may have weakened
MeKelway's faith in him. However that
may be, the Parker boom is evidently
waning, and the Cleveland following have
to reckon with the persistent declaration
and warning of Colonel Bryan that he will
excommunicate any member Of the demo-
cratic party who turns toward the Sage
Of Princeton.

FAITHFUL DAD
Stevens County Reveille

Stevens County Reveille.
We happened in a home the other night
and over the parlor door saw the legend
worked In letters OF red, What is home
without a mother?' Across the room was
another brief, "God bless our home.''
!. Now what's the matter with God bless
our dad?' He gets up early, lights the
fire, boils an egg, grabs his dinner pail
and wipes off the dew Of the dawn with
his boots while many a mother is sleeping.
He makes the weekly hand -out for the
butcher, the grocer, the milkman and bak-
er, and his little pile is badly worn before
he has been home an hour. He stands off
the bailiff and keeps the rent paid up.
If there lisa noise during the night dad
is kicked in the back and made to go down
stairs to find the burglar and kill him.
Mother darns the socks, but dad bought
the socks in the first place and the needles
and the yarn afterward. Mother does up
the fruit; well, dad bought it all, and jars
and sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday din
ner, carves them himself and draws the
neck from the ruins after every one else
is served. What is home without a
mother?" Yes, that is all right; but what
is home without a father? Ten. chances
to one 1t is boarding -fouse, father is
under q slab and the landlady is the
widow. Dad, here's to you; you've got
your faults-you may have lots of 'em-
but you're all right, and we will miss you
when you're gone.

The Ice Is Broken.

The New York special franchise taxa
ton decision has excited wider interest,
probably, than any other state court de-
cision in recent years. The explanation
is that it establishes the validity of "a
sort Of taxation that has been attempted
or looked forward to in most states. but
which has been blocked largely by allega-
tions of unconstitutionality. It has long
been apparent that corporations which
have special franchises owe the public a
revenue wholly apart from that derived
from the ordinary taxation Of their real
and personal property. This special fran
chise is often worth far more than COM
panys real and personal property.
BY special franchise Is meant q per-
mission to exercise certain privileges that
mere incorporation does not confer, such
as the use Of streets in more or less
monopolistic or specially privileged man
ner.
Corporations possessing such privileges
prefer of course to be taxed on their gross
earnings. because in that way they usu-
ally manage to pay less than the private
citizen or unprivileged corporation does.
These have to pay from 2 to per cent
on the valuation Of their property, while
the gross earnings tax is apt to be at
only the same rate on the privileged COM
pany's income. AS incomes are not sup
posed to be more than fraction Of the
valuation of the property from which
they are derived, the injustice of such tax
alton is obvious.
| The New York decision will doubtless
mark the beginning Of movement all
over the country to compel special fran
chise corporations to pay taxes on the
valuable property they have received from
the public.

A Victory for the People.

The lower house Of the Illinois legisla-
ture has passed the Mueller street railway
ownership bill. the senate was expected.
to pass it to-day. and Governor Yates.
Will not dare to veto it. This bill is
measure which will give Chicago the whip
hand in dealing with the street railway
franchise question. Franchises may be
granted for twenty years, or the munici-
.paiity may take over the lines and own
and operate them. 1t does not follow
from this that they are to have municipal
ownership in Chicago; 1t merely means
that the city will be in a commanding po-
s1tion IN negotiating with the companies.
II the latter are disposed to drive too
hard a bargain the city can resort to
municipal ownership. With, that POSSIBLE
ity in the background there is little
prospect that the city will be gouged. Il
is a great advance, too to have the life
OF franchise limited by law to twenty
years.

a Tribute to the Saloon.

ss A st. Paul alderman named Van Slyke
has found out how to make ST. Paul boom.
This worthy has lived in St. Paul for
forty years and has observed that the sa-
loon Is always the advance guard OF bust
ness. Wherever a saloon locates, there is
later a business center. THE saloon
came" said this philosopher, "and other
industries-yes, even population and the
cfvilizing influences Of the law-followed.
You can't show me a business street Of
any Importance in st. Paul to-day that
was not made such by some saloonkeeper
taking the initiative In respect to loca-
tion.'
This profound argument was used by
Mr.. Van Slyke to Justify the rearrange-
ments OF st. Paul's very inconstant prohi-
bition district so as to permit saloon to
be opened at a certain place in Concord
street. It entirely overcame the effect OF
the objection of the residents of the neigh
borhood, supported bySa very strong petit
ton. These poor ignorant creatures are

Senator Hanna is about the queerest
Industrial cannibal we know Of Mr.. G.
Brkhofer of Minneapolis called him such
the other day, but gave no bill of particu-
lars. From what we learned about cam
nibals when we were interested in them,
we are of the opinion that the cannibal is
a man who devours other men. An indus
trial cannibal, we infer. is an Industrial
agency that devours others, for instance,
an employer who devours workmen in an
industrial sense. If Senator Hanna is an
Industrial cannibal he takes an amazing
method of satisfying his cannibalistic APP
petites. For several years now he has
devoted much of his time to tanning labor
upions and employers with cannibalistic
tendencies. Labor unions are intended
primarily to be means of resisting the
Industrial cannibalism of employers, Of

Is it permissible for a member Of a

the old stand with a bill Of $3.50 to pay.
Mr.. Ward alleges that Mr.. Fullerton sum

to assist in getting the legislature to pass
the game and fish commission bill. After
a conference, a banquet to the legislative
leaders was decided upon, Ward holding

Lyseun'-..' ennessee's Fardner."

Melodrama succeeds melodrama at the
Lyceum this week, where 'Tennessee's
Pardner" is the bill. The play is from
the pen of Scott Marble, its scenes To-
Gated In q Nevada mining town, and its
story familiar to Minneapolis theater-go
thru previous presentations. 1t is prob
able that when Mr.. Marble wrote the
piece he had in mind the great stage
vogue enjoyed by IN Liss, /" altho he has
made no attempt to infringe upon Bret
Harte's story. His character of .Tennes-
see Kent, however. must Of necessity re-
call that other child Of the west whose
exploits have delighted two generations.
The similarity between the two charac-
tiers is almost too strong-to be accepted
as the result Of accident.
But Miss Hayward, who plays Tennes-
see, has not seen fit to preserve this sim
tlarity in her acting. Her conception Of
the part is consistent turnout, but it is
not that Of the author. Tennessee was
a hoyden, even tomboy. as her as.
sumption of masculine garb proves, yet
Miss Hayward makes her a demure miss,
essentially feminine in everything she
does. and thus the character, in her
hands, becomes unconyincing.

handled and the play Guild be worth
while. II only for the excellent work of

An Interesting Contention.

That is a very interesting plea the Great
Northern management makes for its posi-
ton that 1t must in self -defense resist
the demand of employees for double pay
for trainmen On trains drawn BY two
engines. It is well known to be fact that
the Great Northern uses fewer double
headers than any other transcontinental
railway, and 1t is apparent that the money
expense of meeting the demand OF the
trainmen would be insignificant. It Is not
the expense, but the principle of employees
debating methods Of management. that
the Great Northern processes to object to-
z 1t Is asserted in behalf Of the company
that the double-header contention is only
the beginning of a campaign on the part
of the tratnmen to dictate the composition
of trains, and establish q standard train
for crew. If a standard train should be
prescribed for all the transcmtinental
roads the Great Northern would be de-
prived of the advantages it now enjoys
on account of it's remarkably low gradi-
ents, which do not exceed 1 per cent in
climbing to the top OF the Rocky noun
tains, westward bound. The Great North
ern has become the typical heavy-tr train
railroad Of the country, and has long been
noted for Its tireless efforts to Introduce
economies of power and labor. Some of
these have doubtless been Of the penny
wise pound foolish sort, but in a general
way all fa1r-minded persons will agree
that it is laudable for a railway system
to undertake to reduce to the minimum
the cost of moving trains. In the long run
the public will profit by these economies,
even If at first the stockholders are the
chief beneficiaries. It is useless to look
for cheap railway rates, unless there is
cheap transportation of freight
