In Evansville, ind, on Puesday
night a preacher was attacked on the
street, beaten and pelted with rotten
eggs, by several young men because
he said in a sermon on Sunday night
that any young woman who danced
was of questionable character. The
young men did wrong in attacking the
minister. They and the whole COM
munity should have treated such a
slanderer with silent contempt. By
their action those young men were
playing into the hands OF tie man.
A man who will make such a remark
from his pulpit is out for sensation
and the greater the sensation the bet
ter pleased he is 1t would have Wor
ried him a great deal more if no no.
tlce had been taken Of his language.
The way to puninsh such a villifier OF
innocent women is to let him know in
what contempt you hold him and that
YOU believe him to be a liar when he
declares that he holds such opinion.

THAT TARIFF COMMISSION


In commenting on Senator Fever
idge's statement that the tariff sugh;
10 be revised. but that there should
first be appointed in commission to
look into the matter. The Grc"ar-
horo Telegram says, anything 1" get
out OF actually doing something To ths
tariff is the program OF the republican
party"
Most democrats and many repGS.Q
cans favor tariff revision. but We
rot suppose any OF its advocates wasS
hasIy legislation on the subject. The
tariff is such an intricate question and
CD. OF such vast Importance 30 Lhs
whole country that the present Law.
while needing many amendments.
should not be changed in its import
ant features without careful cUnsid-
ieration Hasiy action resulting IN
crude amendments would work more
harm than benefit 20 the business 0f
the country.
A commission 10 study the matter
and make report TO this congress at It's
next session. which will meet
about month after the presidential
election, or 10 the next congress 10
not such preposterous proposition.
in view OF the fact that II is well un-
derstood that the republicans ia con
troll OF party affairs are not going a.
allow any tampering with the present
tariff laws until after the presidential
election.
We believe the nearest approach
that can be made at this session or,
perhaps, during this congress 10
ir revision is for the appointment
such commission.
II the democrats should be 3ucces--
fu! in securing a majority OF the
house Of representatives in the sixty
first congress the senate will still he
against them. The democrats cannot
expect TO control both the legislative
and executive branchs OF the govern
Iient Immediately after March 4, 1899
even if they elect the president and
OF representatives in the next fall elee
ticns. Not by any possibility can the'
gain such power until the beginning
OF the Sixty second ongress in 1871.
Then why should they oppoSe the
IDEA OF the appointment or cOmmIs-
sion by this congress TO study tbe
question and report to the next one
That is surely one step toward Obtain
ing what the party platform demands
Ii the democrats oppose any revision
% the tariff BY a republican admin
istration they are simply aiding IN
s:andpatters in the republican party
in their efforts to indefinitely post
pone any action whatever on the qnes
ton.
Isn't it better 10 aid in getting what
relief they can at as early date -
pC ssibble than To refuse 10 cooper
with those Of the opposite party
wish a revision at some day IN ~
early future. thereby playing into tbF
hands OF the men who are OppOssd
10 any consideration of the question
for some years 10 come and TO mAhs
certain the postponement of such re-
lief TO that indefinite time in the fS-
ture when the democratic party shah
control the executive branch OF the
government and have a majority -
10th houses OF congress?

Why SpaIding Should Be
Defeated.

by filing petition for the democratic
nomination for Justice of the Supreme
Court, Judge Spaulding announces in adj
vance that he will not abide by the result
of the republican primaries. but if he is
defeated in his efforts to obtain the repub-
lican nomination he will run on the demo
cratic ticket. His course will not meet
the approval of either republicans or
democrats. 1t forfeits whatever claim he
may have to republican support.
Since he became member, on Febur-
airy z, 1907, Judge Spaulding has only done
about one-thirl of the work accomplished
by either of his associates, the present
figures showing 19 opinions written by
Spaulding, 81 by Fiske and about so by
Morgan during the same period.
Edward H. Wright, Judge Spaulding's
opponent for the republican nomination,
is conceded in every way fitted for the
office of Justice of the Supreme Court
He is lawyer and not politician. His
briefs are model His opinions on legal
questions are respected by judges and law
yers alike. He has had a wide experience
in the practice. During the campaign of
two years ago it was stated by the support
ers of Judge Fiske that that eminent jurist
had had twenty-six cases before the Su-
preme Court of the state before he went
| upon the bench. and the record was con
| sitlered unusual. MIR. Wright has pre-
pared, bricted and argued over fifty cases
before that court Fully three -fourhts OF
the lawyers of the state will vote for Mr.
Wright. All republicans should do like
wise and leave Judge Spanl'ling Sc, such
support as he can from the democrats
whose nomination he isnow seeking.

BURGLARS AT ROSE CREEK,

Chas. R. Varco and his son, Ed
ward, had nocturnal visitor early
Thursday morning. They slept in
their store at Rose Creek Wednesday
night and about o'clock they heard
a noise at the front door. They saw
a man outside watching at the door
and kept watch of him until the mar
shall discovered him when Mr.. Varcc
opened the door and ordered his ar
rest. 1t transpired that the man out
side was patiently waiting for his
pard whom he had boosted into the
store through the transom over the
doors. AS soon as Mr.. Varco made
a stir the man inside hid to await
developments. AS Ed was going to
the rear Of the store to get a lantern
to assist the marshal he stumbled
over the hiding burglar and caught
him. Both burglars were taken be-
fore Justice Rettrath and bound
over to the grand jury They were
lodged in the county Jail. 1t seems
that before visiting Varco's they had
been in Schartz's saloon where they
took both cigars and liquor. They
were recognized by the Austin police
as part of the bunch of hoboes who
were in trouble in Austin Wednes-
day morning. One of them halls. from

SAM LANGUM WAS DESPERATE.

There may have been a good deal
CT sameness in the deadly stuff which
TaWney's cuckoos were paid to cir
culate in the First district. Indeed,
something might very we'll be said
ABOUT the reproach brought upon
Minnesota journalism by the readi-
ness OF newspapers heretofore con-
sidered independent when properly
approached to join the cuckoo chorus.
But about the work of one newsDaper
man at least there was nothing half
hearted. Sam Langum was desper-
ately in earnest. In every pose he
assumed it was transparent that his
heart was in the cause. Whether as
Chanticleer he greeted Tawney's rise
as heraldlng the dawn of the First
dlstrlct millennium; whether going
trantlcally up and down Fillmore
county pleading with tears streaming:
down his face that his patron be re-
tanned, or whether from the exalted
position he has attained he pointed
the finger of .scorn at lesser journal
lstlc lights, Sam always gave uncon-
troVertable evidence that in choos-
ing him to lead the cuckoo chorus
TaWney had made no mistake, So
long as that postofice job was in
sight Sam would move heaven and
earth: to keep hold of it. Tawnev's
defeat meant his, dismissal, and
thrifty Sam knew it. No labor was
too great If by any means the latter
catastrophe could be prevented -

One of the Sewer Diggers Killed.

Last Saturday just before noon,
Aaron Fox, aged about rs, was
killed in the big sewer trench run
ming south on West street past the
fair grounds. He was at the bottom
of the trench digging under the
ends of the planks as they were
driven down when, without warning,
the sand on one side caved in and the
other side also gave way so that Fox
was caught in the plank and the life
was crushed out of him.. He was
buried in the sand nearly up to his
shoulders Workmen got to- work
quickly to get the lifeless BODY out.
Coroner Lewis was called and viewed
the scene of the accident and the
body was taken to Donovan & Cos
lees undertaking rooms. 1t was
shipped in the evening to Fox's home
at West Salem, Wis. The ditch was
about twelve feet deep where the ac-
cident occurred. The planks were
driven down each side of the trench
and are held by heavy plank running
horizontally kept apart with Jack
screws. Fox was in the employ of
Thill & Lapitz of La Crosse, contract
ors, who are putting in a 24-inch
sewer for surface drainage from the
vicinity of the S. M. Normal college
west and south to Turtle creek.
