But soon her mother became the

even then there were worries and

Senator Hoar felt that he was JUS
tilted in this when Judge Christiancy
suddenly resigned his seat In the Sem
ate and accepted an appointment as
minister to Peru. In the executive
session of the Senate, which was held
to act upon his appointment, and
which unanimously confirmed IL, it
was stated that the establishment &C.
casioned by the fact that Judge
Christiancy was willing 10 resign a
seat in the Senate in order to ac-
cept appointment as minister to Peru
was intensified when It was learned
that President Hayes had at first
offered the mission to Germany TO
Judge Chrlstiancy, and after that
offer was declined had again offered
diplomatic post in the form Of the
mission to Japan. Chrlstiancy de-
clined both of these offers, but ac-
cepted the comparatively obscure dip
lomatic post of minister TO Peru.
In conversation with the late SEN
ator William p. Frye, of Maine, in
the fall of 1884, the name of Judge
Christiancy happened to come up.
Senator Frye said:
81 think Christiancy's record, at
least in public life. is about as unique
as any of which ] have knowledge.
Just think of It. lie was the iden-
teal man who in 1854 brought about
the fusion of what was left Of the
old Wing party with the Free-Soil
Democracy, out of which grew the
organization of the Republican party.
Now the way in which chrisrlancy
became d Senator, in view of his
carly experience and influence, is to
my thinking one OF the queer fea =
lures of what has been a very queer
political career.

Now in 1875. after President Grant

war. the Michigan Republicans
thought they would have no difficulty
in electing a stralght-out Republican
as Chambers successor. Twenty-one
years earlier Christiancy perfected a
Wing and Free-Soil fusion out of
which grew the Republican party, and
yet he could not be elected Senator
by the Republicans.
Now, in 1876, the Michigan politi-
clans seemed to have remembered
Christiancy's success as fusionist
For coalition or fusion was perfect

PRESIDENT TO NOTE
RESULTS OF TARIFF
Artificial Depression of Business
by Foes Of Law to Be
Punished.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-President
Wilson and Democratic leaders are
determined to take every step within
their power to prevent business de-
preston following the enactment of
the tariff law. 49,. 49,,
The president has recommended
that an appropriation Of 100000 be
made to pay the expenses Of investi-
eating any plant which reduces wages,
ostensibly because Of the new tariff
rates. i" The administration purposes
that the secretary of the treasury be
empowered to fix the value Of i'm
ports as basis for the advalorem
duties provided. .'* -. .,.
The Sherman antitrust law will be
invoked should information come to
the president that a group of manu-
facturers has agreed to cut wages,
shut down plants, or otherwise act
with the seeming purpose Of discred-
itine the Wilson Underwood law.
The pottery, plate glass and win
dow glass industries particularly
have made this. poverty complaint. In
case of the first named Wilson has
ordered the bureau Of foreign and do
nestle commerce to make a thorough
Inquiry. Its experts will enter the do
nestle plants and ascertain the facts
of production, cost, including wages
Other experts will be sent abroad 60

INCREASE GRANTED
ONE MONTH EARLIER
Sheet Metal Employers Increase
Wages Promptly On Request
of Workers Union.

Some time ago the local Sheet Me-
tai Workers. union made a demand
upon local employers for an increase
in its minimum wage scale from 471a
to SO cents per hour, to become ef-
fective June 1, 1913.
The union expected many confer
ences would be required and possibly
a strike threatened before the in
crease would be granted. However,
very much to the surprise of the men,
the employers announced they would
gladly acceed to the demand of the
union and the wage scale would be
raised from 4714 cents to SO cents
per hour, to BECOME effective May list
instead of June 1st
So now all sheet metal workers in
Duluth are receiving 81 per day one
month earlier than the yexpected, and
the best of feeling prevails between
employers and employees.

DECLARES IT'S REAL
ESTATE MEMS MOVE
Workingman Sees No Necessity
for Moving 0rdinances-Hits
At Chicken License.

II am somewhat Suspicious of the
proposed moving ordnance" said a
well-known member of organized la
Dor yesterday. will Chief Troyer
publicly declare that he cannot keep
tab on the persons of ill-repute who
| may move from one section of the city
to another?
1T may be a crude way Of puiting
it, but am firmly convinced that the
proposed moving ordinance is but a
scheme of the real estate men to help
them in the collection Of rent. The
real estate men are evidently taking
shelter behind the moral wave that is
sweeping over the country for the
suppression of vice.
They seem to see, in my opinion, an
opportunity to induce the city COM
mission to pass an ordinance that os-
tensibly gives the city check on per-
sons of ill-repute, but which in effect
will really help them to hound poor
people who may be little behind in
the payment Of rent.
What are we goin to do? Turn this
town completely over to the real es-
tate exchange and have it a govern
ment wholly Of license where We will
be compelled to get permit from the
police officials to make move in any
direction and for any purpose?
There IS danger in the city. COM
| mission becoming an autocracy. see
that DR.. Webster in his zeal to make
Duluth a healthier city advocates the
payment of license by all persons
who keep chickens. Why, If the city
did the proper thing, it would give d
bounty to every family that has a
demanding license fee for the privi-
lege of keeping chickens:
Under the present system of stor-
i! age fresh eggs are becoming a luxury
even unto the rich. The poor have "
opportunity to obtain them, except
when they have a place where they
can keep their own chickens. In the
middle of the winter, when sickness
is more prevalent and fresh eggs are
scarce, it is impossible for the poor
to obtain them, even for g. diet.
In my opinion, DR.. Webster is 60
Ing altogether too far. I cannot tor
the life of me see how the licensing
of chickens will contribute anything
to the promotion Of public health. OF
course, so cents looks small to some
people. but it is a considerable amount
! to many Of the poor and the commits
| sion ought to pause we'll before 1t
takes final action on DR.. Websters
| recommendation.
While talking about the city com
| mission, I note that Mayor Prince
shook his head and advised that the
! council go slow in spending the peo-
pies money by raising the wages OF
common laborers cents an hour, but
I failed to read any public statement
by him in which he expressed any fear
Of the extravagant use of the peoples
money when the commission raised
the salaries Of all the city officials
! many thousand dollars a year."
