Popular Feeling and the Tariff Bunco
From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

sissippi valley. To elect republican
president against sound and SEN
sible democratic candidate standing
on platform of common sense, there
would not only have to be repub-
lican candidate and platform unequi-
vocally pledged to definite tariff
policy, but a complete change in the
feeling that now exists.
1t is probably not exaggerating to
say that millions of voters west of
Ohio are ready today to rebuke
congress for its evident intentions in
q way that will disturb the gall even
of that hoary old sinner, Aldrich.
For the rank and file of the republi-
can party is mad, and mad clean
through. They are not only exas-
perated at the gold brick which it is
the purpose of Aldrich and his fol-
lowers to hand them; they are still
more exasperated at the evident
assumption that they are pack of
dolts and blockheads who can be
bamboozied with impunity
is time for congress to wake up
to the facts. Either the consumers OF
this country are going to get what
they demand, genuine revision down
ward, with raw materials on the free
list, and without any administrative
'jokers' or any 20 per cent maximum
trickery, or there is going to be the
dickens to pay two years and four
years hence in the republican party
Failure to comply with the demands
of the rank and file will split the
party open.
These are not threats. They are q
plain statement Of popular feeling as
expressed in this state by individuals
and as revealed in the columns Of the
press Of the country from one end to
the other. =

ssThe most wholesome thing for
congress to do at this juncture would
be to adjourn for few weeks and
distribute itself among its constitu-
ents. It would learn something to its
ultimate advantage of the country. 1t
would get in touch with the practical
~ universal evaporation and disgust
of the voters with the Payne bill, the
Aldrich monstrosity, aud the cheap
skullduggery and chicane which have
characterized the framing of the house
and senate measures. But there is
not the slightest hope that congress
will consult its constituents. The tar
if trainers do not want to hear from
the country. The leaders want to put
their heads in the sand and imagine
that there is no trouble in store for
their blessed protected industries.
They can't and they won see that un-
less they grant the just and reasonable
demands of consumers for a more
moderate tariff on necessities, and
for free raw materials, particularly
for free lumber, free wood pulp, free
hides, free iron ore and free coal,
there will be storm that is not I'M
likely to put an end for good and all
to the republican party as at present
constituted, or at least to the domi-
nation of the standnatter and reac-
tionary, and to extreme protection
for any industry, whether it needs it
or not.
LET congress commit the crime it
threatens to commit, and by a little
judicious leadership on the part of the
democratic party, by sloughing off
free trade, free silver and other pop
ulistic excrescences, that party
would be likely to carry, four years
hence, almost every state in the Mis-

ENGLISH STATESMAN FEARS MAR
Former Premier Sees in Gernany's
Preparations an Actual Menace.

A real note of alarm for England,
one that has practically sent the entire
nation into Mysteries, has been sounded
in connection with the anti-German
antagonism by no less a parsonage
than Lord Rosebery, the former
premier.
I've can and will build dread
noughts so long as we have shilling
to spend, = he declared dramatically
the other evening, while big audience
Of representative Englishmen hung on
every word. s'But am not sure that
even that is enough. Responsibility
for our national defense rests on the
entire empire, especially on the
colonies, and all should at this time
feel their great responsibility.
& For England's own salvation she
must look to herself. She is alone.
II she cannot guard herself she must
look to her colonies and they have
never failed her YETI
The speech is most significant be-
cause of the position Lord Rosebery
occupies in British public life. He is
close to all the government leaders.
In many quarters it is believed his
speech was planned as direct reply
to the speech made at the German
naval league meeting at which it was
said Germany's naval policy must be
maintained until she wrests the power
of the seas from'England.
"Today there is such a hush en-
veloping all Europe Lord Rose
berry said, ''that it is almost possible
to hear leaf fall to the ground.
There is an absolute silence on the
question of war, but never in the
worlds history has there been present
such threatening aspects or such war;
like preparations.
Lord Rosebery pointsdly referred
to Germany's armament and passion
ately declared that he felt very uneasy
over the present state of aft airs, which
were tending to bring Europe back to
a state of barbarism.

"All history shows" said Samuel
j. Tilden, ''that reforms in govern
ment must not be expected from those
who sit serenely on the social noun
tain tops enjoying the benefits of the
existing order of things -
A very simple and elementary truth;
but the American people have not yet
:gripped it. They are ignorant enough
to think that the abuses of protection
will be remedied voluntarily by the
5Abeneficiaries of such abuses; that
privilege will be restricted by the
representatives of privilege; that
plutocracy will be pulled down by the
political allies of plutocracy.
Therefore perplexed public con-
z:tinues to watch the cost of living
mount skyward while congress
elected through the support of prive-
aeged interests revises a tariff for the
profit of those interests. There was
time when such performance would
have produced political revolution
an the United States. Now it is viewed
.as one of the commonplace of
government-the people stand serene
ly aside while the cards are stacked
against them, in the hope, as Bis
marck used to say, "that others would
do for us what we dared not do for
ourselves"
The American citizen is an OPTIC
anistic soul. He is profoundly con-
WINGED that it he will wait long enough
with proper patti ence, somebody,
somehow and in some fashion will
save him from the consequences of his
own neglect, in difference and folly.

Two Local Gases
 Before Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of Errors will come in Tuesday and try both New Haven and Fairfield county cases. There are fifteen from the former county, while Fairfield has seven, two of which are Bridgeport cases. The local cases are Margaret Gilsen against the Boston Realty Co. The plaintiff claims that she bought land from the company at Liberty Park and was later defraudedSeut of it. She will be represented by Phelan & Phelan, while C1itus King will appear for the de fendant.
 The other case is that of James R. Bergen against the Central Vermont Railway Co. Bergen was a conduc- tor in the employ of the> company. One day last July while stopping in a small Vermont town he decided not to wait for passenger car, and instead ''hopped" a freight. The freight was in collision with another train and he was injured. He brought suit against the company who in turn filed a non- suit which was allowed by Judge Ga ger. The appeal which was taken will be heard next week.

Last Monday as Spencer was driving into the Lynes farm, which is about mile southeast from the New Canaan sta tion, he was attacked by Lynes with a pitchfork. Lynes rained blow after blow on his victim's head, killing him almost instantly. When Lynes saw what he had done he immediately gave himself up to the authorities. The Grand Jury were going to hold him for first degree murder, but on the advice of Coroner Doten he is held for manslaughter.

Novel Department Store
 Opens This Afternoon

At two this afternoon the department store of the w. T. Grant Go. will throw open it's doors to the public. The com pany has secured the lease on the three stores immediately south of the Strat- field Hotel and. after weeks of effort in alte-ing the building and remodeling it. there has been added to the city's retail houses one which is credit.
 The store is unique and far different from the regular run of stores in the shopping district. In its departments which number two score. not a single article bears a price tag with over twenty-five cents marked upon it. The schenee has been tried out in several cities and found to work well. the arti- cles being sold at very small profits but in large quantities.
 The building is well lighted and the counters arranged in very convenient way. Everything has been arranged for the comfort of the purchaser In order to properly bring their eff fort before the public the Grant Co., is making an exceptionally low rate on articles to-day. A trip to the store will be interesting, instructive and profit able.

GREAT DANES CHEW LEG OF
 MYERHOLTZ
Animals Are the Same That Pursue Eliza Across the Ice in Uncle Toms
 Company.
Injured Man, His Wounds Cauterized, Promises to Bring Suit for Damages.

Charles Myerholtz, 33 years of age, 644 Broad street, was attacked by the Great Dane dogs who are a part Of Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin Company now playing at Smiths theatre, and bitten in the right wrist and in the right leg.
 Myerholtz tells of the affair as fol- lows. He was riding up Main street on his motor cycle, at 9:30. when he encountered four of the big Great Danes who follow Eliza across the riv- CT of canvas in the big show. The dogs were playing in the street, en- toying their release from confinement. They were in charge of two colored men connected with the show. Myer- holtz ran into one of the dogs on the street after an effort to avoid collis- ion. He was thrown violently to the street. The collision angered the big brute and he turned upon Myerholtz, who was prostrate on the ground Be fore Myerholtz could make any effort to defend himself or the keepers of the dogs could call them off two of them attacked Myerholtz.
 Myerholtz thought his time had come for the brutes attacked him savagely. The keepers reached Myerholtz as soon as possible and pulled off their charges.
 Myerholtz was taken to the emer- gency hospital where Dr. Krause eau terized deeply punctured wounds in MyerhOItZ leg ana WrlSI
 Immediately after the dogs were pulled off Myerholtz had presence of mind to suck the wounds.
 He has asked for a warrant for the arrest of the parties responsible for the violation of the city ordinance in allowing dogs to roam at large. He also promises to bring action against the show company for damages.
 At Smiths theatre it was said that the injuries to Myerholtz were trivial and that the dogs are perfectly harm less, except when injured.
 The dog would not have bitten Myer- holtz had he not been struck by the motor cycle and became entangled in the machinery, it was said.
 Manager Ulrich of the Stetson Un- clc Toms Cabin show, now playing at Smiths theatre, gave out the fol- lowing istatement: cone of the boys who were taking the dogs out re- ported that the youngest of them, a puppy, had been struck by motor cycle on Main street and ran over. The man was thrown from his ma chine an dtf1e dog scared out of his life attempted to run away" The manager denied that the dog had at tackled the man and said that the lat- ter was entirely to blame.
 Myerholtz has retained the law firm of Chamberlain & Hull to prosecute a damage suit of $500 against Leon 'Washburn, owner of the Stetson Un- cle Tom's Cabin show.

WHY BEACH BROKE WITH WHITEHEAD
Airship Inventor Was Con- siderate of Neighbor's
 Feelings.

The attaching of the airshfp on Lenox Heights near Orr's Castle by Sheriff Peter Doo1an as result of aA action brought by Stanley Yale Beach, son of Frederick c. Beach, editor of the Scientific American, against Gus fave Whitehead, inventor, resulted, it is alleged, from MT. Whitehead's firm refusal Sunday last to start the 50 horse power motor in the machine and thus disturb the whole neighborhood. :
 On Sunday, Beach with a party of friends drove up in his auto to the aerodrome on Lenox Heights and ask ed Whitehead to start the flying ma chine for them. Beach claiming to be Whitehead's packer and partner, believed that he had right to dis play the machine. Whitehead said that the noise of the engine would dis turb the people nearby and refused to start it: lest MT. Beach attempt 1t himself he removed the timer from the engine, making the latter useless. MT. Beach, he alleges, became excited and for fear Whitehead would use the machine himself, removed the pro peIlers and slowing them in his auto, started back for his home in Strat- ford. Monday he went to his counsel and had proceedings brought against Whitehead resulting in the novelty of attaching an afrShiD.

 BOY WILL DIE

The parents of Michael Kosa,10 years old, who has been slowly dying at St. Vincent's hospital for several days, are asking for the arrest of Henri Basil, an old merchant of 194 Hallet street, who they a1Iege, kicked the boy in the stom- ach several weeks ago. The boy is now barely alive. His injuries resulted in a rupture of his intestines. His food passes out through the aperture. A week ago the parents instituted civil suit against Basil for $2,000, alleging malicious injury. Basil has been the butt of the pranks of the boys of the neighborhood for a long time. He claims that the Kosa boy was thrown into his store by other boys month ago and injured in the struggle. The ante-mortem statement of the boy was taken, but no arrests have yet been made. His statement to Coroner Doten yesterday afternoon at five o'clock follows:
 My name is Michael Kosa. am ten years old. I live on Hallett Street. am badly hurt and feel pretty bad. was kicked in the stomach by the Jew that keeps the store in the same build ing where I live.

I was able to go to school for about two weeks and then I was in bed for four weeks. do not know if I'm going to die"

CRANE TELLS RIGHT AND WRONG WAY
 TO STEAL THINGS

(Specia1 from United Press.)
 New York. April 10.-The right and the wrong way to steal was clearly de- fined by Magistrate Crane in the Nor risanna court to-day when he released James Finley. aged IT, charged with stealing six cents worth of coal from the New York. New Haven & Hart ford Railway yards. in order that Fin 1ey's widowed mother might get sup- per for her five children.
 When you get to be a railroad pres ident. my son. Magistrate Crane said you can steal millions from the pub lie and everybody will look up to you and respect you and nobody will dare to prosecute you. But in the mean while you musn't steal in small amounts. Stealing in connection with railroad should always be done in large amounts. Then you won't be arrested.
 Tt was wrong for you to take this coal and the detective thought he was doing his duty in arresting you Doubtless he was right-the coal did not belong to you. But in view of the fact that you were trying to keep your mother and your little brothers and sisters warm. am going to consider it in the light of an unavoidable CIT cumstance and let you go with a warning"

 RELEASE OF THREE

Mothers. fathers. brothers and friends of Arthur Carey; John Condon and John Buckley all but mobbed po- lice headquarters this morning in their efforts to make some arrangement by which the young men might be spared the igno1niny of being turned over to Sergeants Dennehy and McAvoy of the New Haven police. Their efforts were useless The young men are three of five who were found in the West End Saturday, with caps in their posses sion which it is claimed were stolen from the Adams Express wagon in bonds of s25. But two, George Ma loney and Percy 'Strang, did not ap- pear. The charges against Carey, Condon and Buckley were nolled, so far the Bridgeport City court is con- cerned, before they were turned over to the New Haven police.
 Maloney and Strang were repre- scented by Attorney Geduldig who ask ed for a continuance in their cases. This was denied by Judge Foster and the bonds were called; but a motion to reopen will be considered. It is said that Maloney and Strang have left town.
