With the Democrats.

One Grossly Misrepresent
Their Constituents.

Special to the Globe.
Washington, Moy 21.— The Demo
crats stood manfully by their guns to
day and voted solidly against the Mc-
Kinley tariff bill. They were beaten,
but they made a record on which they
can proudly go before the country. The
Republicans, with two exceptions—
Featherstone, of Arkansas, and Cole
man, of Louisiana— were whipped into
line, and voted for a measure which
they knew to be monstrous in its pur
pose. None knew this better than the
Minnesota members, but the names of
Lind, Comstock, Snider, Dunnell and
Hall are recorded for ' the bill.
For fully half an hour before noon
the house was in the great
est confusion, and when, one minute
before 12 o'clock, Mr. McKinley yielded
the remaining time to Mr. Frank, of
Missouri, the excitement became so
great that the noise was almost deafen
ing and Mr. Frank's voice could not be
heard six feet from where he stood.
Suddenly, out of the hubbub arose the
clear, loud voice of Mr. McKinley, call
ing: "Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman!"
Quiet reigned in a moment, and the Re
publican leader called the attention of
the chairman to the fact that 12 o'clock
The Hour Agreed Upon
for the first vote on the bill to be taken
had arrived. He moved that the com
mittee rise and report the bill to the
house. This ceremony having been
performed by the chairman of the
whole, Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, Speaker
Reed recognized Mr. McKinley, who. in
deliberate tones, demanded the previous
Question, and moved the third reading
and engrossment of the bill. Division
was demanded by Mr. Bland, of
Missouri, and the sneaker, after
counting, declared that 188 had voted
in the affirmative aud 128 in the nega
tive. Then the yeas and nays were de
manded by Mr. McKinley. The speaker
announced that the yeas were 161, the
nays 143. Mr. Coleman, of Louisiana,
and Mr. Featherstone, of Arkansas,
Republicans, voted with the Democrats
against the adoption of the motion. Mr.
Butterwortii, of Ohio, and Mr. Adams,
of Illinois, refrained from voting. When
the result of the ballot had been an
nounced, Mr. McKinley arose and asked
the gentleman of the minority to name
the amendments offered by the ways
and means committee as they were
read, on which ballots were desired.
Mr. Carlisle said that the minority de
sired votes only on those amendments
which made increases of duty. The
clerk then began to read amendments.
When he reached that iucreasing the
duty on
Tin Plate,
the Democrats called for a vote. Before
the result was declared by the speaker,
Mr. Kerr (Iowa) and Mr. Thomas (Wis
consin), Republicans, who had voted
with the Democrats against the in
crease, changen their votes. Mr. Lind
(Minnesota), another Republican, an
nounced that he had voted agaiust the
amendment under a misapprehension,
and therefore changed his vote. The
speaker then announced that the yeas
were 150, the nays 14!). Applause from
the Democrats greeted the announce
ment of this vote, which came so near
being a Democratic victory. Messrs.
Butterworth, Flick, Henderson of
lowa, Kelly, Mason, McComas, Mudd,
and Taylor, of Illinois, voted with
the Democrats. When the ways and
means amendment making yarn made
of jute dutiable at 35 instead of 30 per
cent, was read, Mr. Carlisle asked for a
vote, lt was explained that by a typo
graphical error jute yarn was made
dutiable in the bill at 30 per cent, when
the ways and means committee had in
tended that it should be dutiable at 35
per cent. The Democrats, however, de
cided to take advantage of the error
and called for a vote. Mr. McKinley
called for the yeas and nays and the
clerk started on the call. On this
amendment the yeas were 143, nays
144, the
First Democratic Victory.
Democratic applause greeted the an
nouncement of the vote. The Repub
licans who voted against the amend
ment were Anderson (Kansas), Feath
erstone. Kelly, Lind, Taylor (Illinois),
De Haven, Flick. Henderson (Iowa),
Lacy, Snider, Kerr and Dunnell. The
next amendment ou which the Demo
crats asked for a vote * provided that
manufacturers of camels' hair be taken
from the free list and made dutiable as
the third class wools. The amendment
was adopted— yeas 143, nays 13S.
Messrs. Henderson, of lowa, Struble, of
lowa, and Taylor, of Illinois, voted
with the Democrats. A vote was also
desired by the Democrats on an amend
to paragraph 390, which provided that
on woolen and worsted yarns made
wholly or iv part of wool, worsted, the
hair of the camel, goat, alpaca, or other
animals, valued at not more than 30
cent- per pound, the duty shall be twice
the duty imposed by the bill on a pound
of unwashed wool of the first class, and
in addition 35 per cent ad valorem.
The amendment provided that the duty
should be two and a half times as great.
A yea and nay vote was taken on an
amendment to the wool schedule to pro
vide that on woolen .or worsted clothes,
knit fabrics and manufactures made
wholly or in part of wool, the hair of
animals, etc., valued at not more than
thirty cents per yound, the duty per
pound shall be three times the duty im
posed by the bill on a pound of un
washed wool of the third class, and in
addition 40 per cent ad valorem. The
bill provided that twice the duty be im
posed. This resulted in
Another Victory
for the Democrats, who, with the votes
of several Republicans to aid them,
polled 146 votes In the negative against
143 in the affirmative. The Republic
ans who voted against the amendment
were Messrs. Anddrson (Kansas), Com
stock, Dol liver, Dunnell, Flick, Hen
derson (Iowa), Lacy, Lind, Owen (Ind.),
(Strubble, Taylor (111.), Waddill and
Wilson (Ky.). A number of Republic
ans sat in their seats and refused to
vote. An amendment, providing that
all manufactures of silk, of which wool
or the hair of the goat is a
component part, shall be classified as
manufactures of wqol was agreed to,

155 to 143. The Republicans voting;
against the amendment were Feather
stone. Henderson and Kerr, of lowa,
and Taylor, of Illinois. The vinegar
amendment adopted last night in com
mittee of whole was agreed to— yeas.
104; nay 8, 138. This was the last
amendment, and the engrossment and
third reading of the bill having been
ordered, Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
offered the following amendment:
Resolved. That the pending bill be recom
mitted to the committee on ways and means
with instructions to report the same back to
the house at the earliest possible day. so
amended, by substitute or otherwise, as to re
duce the revenues of the government by re
ducing the burdens of taxation on the people,
instead of reducing ibe duties by imposing
prohibitory rates of taxation upon imported
goods.
The resolution was defeated—
140, nays 104. The bill was then passed
—yeas 164, nays 142— amid applause on
both sides of the house, the Democratic
applause being derisive in its character.
The following is the detailed vote:

NOW TO THE SENATE.
The Bill to Reach \ the Upper
Branch at Once.
Washington, May 21.— The tariff
bill will probably reach the senate to
morrow or Friday. The greater part of
it has been through the engrossing
clerk's hands in anticipation of its pas
sage. In the senate it will be referred
to the financial committee. That com
mittee has not considered formally
how it will deal with the
tariff question, but informal, talks
among members develop the belief
that extended hearings will not be
given. A few of the representatives of
ifiore important industries may be heard
from time to time, but most of the argu
ments will be submitted in writing.
Senator Allison will have charge of the
bill. He will* be seconded by Senator
Aldrich. The general expectation is
that the bill will be reported to the sen
ate by the middle of certainly
before the end of July.
CARLISLE'S NEW SEAT.
Speculation as to His Committee
Place in the Senate.
Washington, May 21.— Senator-elect
Carlisle went to New York to-night, and
he will not take the oath of office to
morrow. He expects to return so as to
take his seal Friday. His resignation as
a member of tha house is in the hands
of the governor of Kentucky. There is
some speculation as to the possible por
tions of committees to be given
to Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Beck, his pre
decessor was a member of the com mit
tee on appropriations, the committee on
finance (among the most important com
mittees of the senate) and ' the select
committee on woman suffrage. It is
possible that, in view of his long service
on the committee an ways and means,
Mr. Carlisle will succeed to the place
now vacant on the finance committee.
If so, he will have an immediate oppor
tunity of going over the tariff question,
with which he is so familiar. The
other committee places which will be
awarded to him will be of minor im
portance. A Democratic caucus will bo
held in the near future to ledistnbute
the committee place s.

GIBBONS ON CHARITY
The Cardinal Addresses the
Conference of Charities
and Correction.
All Men Are Brothers When
It Comes to Aiding the
Poor.
Some Men Are Blessed With
Wealth That They May
Be Generous.
H. B. Hart, of St. Paul, Among
the Officers Named by the
Conference.
Baltimore, May 21.— The last day's
business of the seventeenth national
conference of charities and correction
was begun this morning at 9:30 o'clock.
The international conference to be held
in Chicago in connection with the
world's fair is looked forward to with
much interest, and the especial exhibit,
illustrative of the methods and results
of charitable and correctional work of
every description, in every country,
will be of great help, the delegates
hope, in aiding the general public to
understand the work for the advance
ment of which national conferences of
charities and correction are held.
Several papers were read this morning.
The following officers were elected:
President, Rev. Oscar McCulloch, Indian
apolis; vice presidents," John Glenn. Balti

rett, Philadelphia.
The closing session was held ln the
Academy of Music to-night. J. M.
Gushing, of Baltimore, presented
Cardinal Gibbons,
who spoke in part as follows: "As I
had not an opportunity of uniting with
my fellow citizens iv tendering you a
hearty welcome, I beg to unite with
them in wishing you all a safe and
happy return to your respective homes.
Whatever may be our differences in
point of faith, it is gratifying to re
flect that we stand to-night shoulder
to shoulder and hand to hand
on the common platform of chan
ty and benevolence. There is
enormous wealth in this country;
—there is great poverty, but there is
more charity where wealth and poverty
abound— thanks be to God, charity
superabounds. What better evidence
can we have of the spirit of benevo
lence that pervades the land than the
spectacle which presents itself before
us to-night. But it is only by contrast
ing our christian civilization with the
pagan civilization which preceded it
that we will fully appreciate the bless,
ings and sublime attitude of a meeting
like this. The vocabulary of Greece
and Rome did not contain a single word
to express a hospital or asylum. It
Remained for Christianity
To coin the word and create the institu
tion. No matter what efforts may be
made by philanthropists and social econ
omists for the removal of poverty, we
must make up. our mind that poverty,
in one shape or another, will always ex
ist among us. The words of Christ will
be ever verified— "The poor ye always
have with you." You might as well
try to legislate vice out of existence as
to legislate poverty and suffering out of
the world. In accordance with the
economy of divine providence, men exist
in unequal situations in society.
If all were equally rich, all would be
equally poor. Some are blessed with
the good things of this world, that they
might exercise towards their less fa
vored brothers the virtues of charity,
benevolence and generosity. Others are
poor, that they might practice the vir
tues of patience and gratitude to their
benefactors. And thus the stream of
social virtues is continually kept in mo
tion. The great question which con
fronts you, ladies and gentlemen, is
this: How are you to subserve the in
terests of the poor and suffering? There
are ___"_(__
Three Methods,
first, by promiscuous alms-giving; sec
ond, by relegating the poor and dis
tressed to state and national institu
tions, thus converting the state and na
tion into paternal governments; and
experience . has shown that paternal
governments are not the most desirable.
They hamper individual efforts. The
third method is when a number of men
and women, animated by a spirit of zeal
and charity for their fellow beings, vol
untarily band themselves together tor
the purpose of relieving the distress.
This is the best of all methods, and
it is yours. It combiness all that is
good in the other methods. Your
heart is in your work. You dili
gently search out the poor. You are
discriminating in your clusrity. You are
trying to remove the cause of the mis
ery, to reclaim the unfortunate, to put
them on their feet and to make them
useful and honorable members of so
ciety. You do not say with Cain of old:
"Am I my brothers keeper?" What
would become of you and me— what
would have become of society if Christ
the Lord had said "Am I my brother's
keeper?" Yes, we ars and ought to be
our brother's keeper. No matter how
limited our means and how circum
scribed our influence, every one of us
has a mission and can do good in our
day and generation. ."
Mr. Cushing then spoke Baltimore's
farewell. President Byers responded,
as did Rev. F. H. Wines, of Illinois,
after which the conference closed. ~
THEY NEED MONEY.
The Presbyterians Have a Heavy
Deficit.
Saratoga, N. V., May 21.— The time
of the Presbyterian assembly this morn-
Ing was occupied in hearing the report
and recommendations of the board of
foreign missions. Dr. David J. Burrell,
of Minneapolis, chairman of the stand
ing committee, read the report. The
total number of missionaries now
in the field is 576. The work
in China was especially encourag
ing, notwithstanding the relations
between this government and China.
The result in Corea'is almost marvel
ous. The treasurer's report was of a
less cheerful nature. The receipts of
the board from all sources during the
year were §794,066, a decrease of $58,749
over last year, and of $107,095 in 1887.
The deficit carried forward to the new
year is $60,275.93. The number of
churches contributing is 3,744, a fall
ing off of thirteen. The contri
butions ot the women's commifc

tees and Sunday schools save the
deficit from being even -larger.;.
Never but once before has the board
been so encompassed with trouble.
Something must be done to raise money, i
There can and will be no retrenchment.
Over 1,000,009 is needed for the coming
year. We are perplexed but not . in ;
despair: cast down, but not destroyed.'-
We petition the assembly to devise
some means of assistance. It was asked'
that a special collection be taken in all
the churches some Sabbath in June or
October. The moderator here re
quested Dr. Crosby to take the plat
form. The assembly rose and stood
while Dr. Crosby offered a prayer.
Dr. Burrell then made a stirring address
in support of the recommendations of
the report. He was frequently, inter
rupted by applause. Rev. Dr. Ellen
wood, one of the secretaries of the
board, followed Dr. Burrell. He thought
the Presbyterian church was trying to
do too many tilings with one collection!
Dr. Alexander, of the Presbytery of
New York, and Mr. Jessup, a mission
ary from Syria, also spoke. The report
was adopted. After a long debate the
reports on the board of publication
were referred to a committee of seven,
which will report to the next general
assembly. Hf^Bi
BAD BAPTISTS.
Southern Presbyterians Seeking
to Proselyte Them.
Asheville, N. C, May 21.— The gen
eral assembly to-day considered the re
port of the standing committee on home
missions. Total receipts for the year.
§70,242; disbursements about the same.
The report was adopted. The section
touching on colored evangelical work
was docketed until the special commit
tee appointed for that purpose should
report. Col. Perrin introduced a resolu
tion stating that the assembly reads
with regret the tendency of ministers to
leave the pulpit to accept professor
ships in different . schools and col
leges, and that the presbyteries should
discourage such tendency. At a meet
ing in the interest of home missions
Bey. H. K. Walter, of Georgia, said he
had become a convert to home missions.'
The speaker's work had been partly in
North Carolina, west of Asheville,
among •'hardshell Baptists, who,"' said
he, "make splendid Presbyterians. The
missionary Baptists make the best work
ing Presbyterians, and there are so
many of them that it is an inviting field.
It may seem strange to wish to prose
lyte them, but," said the speaker, "to
show the need of work there, the North
Georgia Baptist association passed i a
resolution advising the hanging of rev
enue officers wherever found among the
mountains in search of stills of moon
shine whisky." ;
SECURED A MANAGER.
W. E. Gooding to Take Charge of
the Minneapolis Athletic Club.
The board of trustees of the Minne
apolis Athletic club, which proposes to
establish an institut on similar to the
athletic clubs of California, held a meet
ing yesterday, and decided to engage
the services of W. E. Gooding as mana-
ger. Mr. Gooding is well known to the
citizens of Minneapolis as the ex-mana
ger of the base ball club, who has -a"
reoutation of possessing good business
and executive ability as well as being one
of the best posted sporting men, in the
proper sense ofthe word, in the country,
The selection will be warmly approved.
The club has also engaged the services
of John Donaldson as instructor for the
gymnasium, ana other arrangements
are progressing, so it looks as though
the club may be opened within thirty
days.

OF A BROKEN HEART.
Mrs. Florence B. Masterson
Dies at the Grand Union
Hotel, New York.
She Makes a Trip From Ari
zona to Meet Her Profli

His Refusal to Meet Her
Drives Her to Death "-
From Grief.
The Breaking of a California
Levee Causes Heavy
Damage.
New York, May 21.— Florence
R. Masterson, wife of ex-Judge Murat
Masterson, of Prescott, Ariz., the man
whose shooting affair in Alice Hopkin
son's.flat recently brought him into
notoriety, died to-day at the Grand
Union hotel, this city. She was thirty
eight years old, much younger than her
husband. There had been an estrange
ment between them for some months,
but when Mrs. Masterson heard of the
shooting affair she started East-in the
hope of effecting a reconciliation with
her husband and also for the pur
pose of seeing again her fourteen-year
old son, who was with his father. On
arrival, she wrote Mr. Masterson, re
questing an interview. There was no
response, and she wrote again, with the
same result. Though her health had
always been good, the excitement and
grief drove her into a condition of nerv
ous prostration. She called upon Dr.
Adams, an old friend, to-day and talked
with him of her troubles. The doctor
accompanied her back to her hotel,
and just as she was en
tering the elevator she placed
her hand over her heart and
fell dead. A telegram was sent to Mr.
Masterson, and he was soon at the hotel.
The body was removed to an under
taker's establishment, and when the
reporter called there this evening he
found Judge Masterson sitting with
bowed head beside the casket contain
ing the body. He seemed overcome by
his emotions, and would not utter a
word to any one. Coronor Jenkins will

.. *** More in Detail.
Dr. C. E. Adams, of No. 131 "East
Thirtieth street, is a nephew of Mrs.
Masterson. Upon her arrival here she
paid a visit to. Dr. Adams and had been
in consultation with him in reference to
her husband, yesterday morning Mrs.
Masterson sent again to her husband's
office in Wall street, begging him to
come and see her. He did hot put in
an appearance, although Mrs. Mast
erson waited in her room at the
hotel all day. About 6 o'clock
his evening Mrs. Masterson went to her
nephew's house and told Dr. Adams
that her husband had. not come to see
her. She was very much grieved at his
non-action in the matter and gave way
to her feelings. Dr. Adams did all he
could to console her. About 7:30 o'clock
Mrs. Masterson expressed a desire
to go back to the hotel. Dr. Adams
accompanied her. They rode up on the
elevator to the second story,
where Mrs. Masterson's room was
located. Dr. Adams stepped out first
and assisted his aunt out. Just as she
stepped into the hallway she gave a
shriek, reeled and fell into the arms of
her nephew. One glance was sufficient
to tell Dr. Adams that she was dead.
Death had occurred instantly. The
body was carried into the room which
Mrs. Masterson had occupied. Dr.
Adams then started out to find ex-
Judge Masterson. He was not at his
home, No. 32 West -second street.
It was said there that he was at his of
fice in Wall street. Dr. Adams found
Masterson there and informed him of
his wife's death. Masterson was much
affected by the news, and went at once .
to the Grand Union hotel. It the mean
time a deputy coroner gave a permit to
have the body removed to the under
taking shop. At the hotel it is said that
Dr. Adams had left word that
the cause of Mrs. Masterson's
death was heart disease. Dr.
Adams could not be found. Ex-Judge
Masterson was also not to be seen
Masterson is worth, he says, $2,000,000,
and owns mines at Mexico and in Chi
huahua. He is forty-seven years old
and gray-haired. Mrs. Alice L. Hop
kinson, with whom Masterson had the
trouble, is a well-known frequenter at
the race tracks. Her parents live in

TURNER'S TRICKERY.
A Fugitive Larcenist From Seat
tle Bagged.
New York, May 21.— George S. Tur
ner was arrested in this city last night
upon a telegram from the chief of police
of Seattle, Wash., charging him with
the larceny of $15,000. lt seems that
when Seattle was nearly wiped out by
fire about a year ago a cry for aid
brought thousands of dollars from all
parts of the country, whtch money was
placed in the hands of a disbursing
committee. One of the members of the
committee was George McCourt, who
had been known as a reputable busi
ness man. McCourt met Turner,
who had started a store, and It is
alleged that that the couple uuited in
terests and all the supplies for Mc-
Court's districts were sold through
Turner's store. For every $5 worth
sold a bill for $105 worth was sent to the
disbursing committee. These bills
were certified by McCourt and the two
divided the profits. The total amount
thus abstracted is over $15,000. In
vestigations caused the Indictment of
the two men. McCourt was arrested
and held for trial in Seattle. 7 Turner
fled to New York. In Jefferson Market
court this morning Turner refused to
make any reply to the charges . and he
was remanded to await the arrival of
requisition papers. -'.

REVOLUTIONISTS UNMASKED.
Capitalists Conspire to Capture
Lower California.
San Fbancisco, May 21.— The Chron
icle this morning devotes four colums to
giving complete details of an alleged
conspiracy to capture lower California
and to found an independent republic
to be followed by annexation to the
United States. The revelations claim
to involve a number of proraineut capi
talists interested in lower California
lands and mines, and well known citi
zens of Los Angeles and San Diego,
which latter city appears to have been
the '.headquarters • of the fili
busters. The general outline
of the plant, it is claimed,, was
for the Mexican Land and Colonization
company, composed of wealthy English
men owning concessions on the penin
sula, to place in the hands of a well
known .San Diego capitalist $100,000, to
be used in advancing the interests of
the filibusters. . The large warehouse of
an English company at Euseneda was
to be filled with arms, ammunition and
provisions for the use of the revolution
ists. The officers of the English cor
poration claim that the policy of the
Mexican officials in Lower California
has been ruinous to the land interests
of the county, which has been obliged
to expend thousands of dollars iv pro
tecting its interests, and the salvation
of the company, they assert, finally
depends upon the annexation of
Lower California to the United
states. A lobby has been working at
Washington in the company's interest,
but as the prospects of congressional
ac.i.in were unfavorable a filibustering
expedition was fixed upon. Two propo
sitions were discussed. One was to
c lpiure Ensenada; the other was to in
truduce a large number of Americans
0.1 the peninsula, ostensibly as railroad
laborers, to capture the Mexican man
of- war Democavita and at the same time
give a picnic in honor of the Mexican
officials, and in the midst of the festivi
ties capture the garrison and seize the
roads and telegraph lines. Simulta
neous risings" at the Alamo
and Tia Juana were . to take
place. Several meetings in
March and April were held by the pro
jectors of the expeditiou, and at one of
these the facts became known to a news
paper representative. When the penin
sula had been seized a provisional gov
ernment was to be declared on or about
Aug. 1, and martial law was to be en
forced. The land of the peninsula was
to be nationalized, and, after a peaceful
order of things had been secured, nego
tian for annexation to the United States
would follow. The names of the pro
jectors are given, and the treasurer of
the company, a wealthy resident of
Minneapolis, is said to be interested.
San Diego, Cal., May . 21.— United
• States Marshall Card and Collector of
Customs Berry to-day expressed them
selves as being satisfied that a well-or
ganized scheme has been maturing, in
pursuance of which the Mexican offi
cials of Lower California were to have
been seized. This action, it was be
lieved, would cause an uprising of the
dissatisfied residents of Lower Califor
nia. Among the statements published
in connection with the affair, is one of
the effect that the International com
pany was to further the project, and
$100,000 was to be expended for arms
and ammunition by an agent who is in
New York for that purpose.
K IDLED WIFE AND PARAMOUR
A Florida Boniface Wipes Out Dis-
- honor With Bullets.
Jessup, Ga., May 21.— A frightful
double tragedy occurred here early this
morn ing. It appears that J. M. MeCall,
county surveyor of Ware county, came
to Jessup from Brunswick, about 10
o'clock last night and stopped at the
Littlefield house. He retired to his
room and after staying in bed two hours
went down stairs in his night clothe-* 1
and asked for Mr. Littlefield, but could
not find him. He then went to Mrs.
Littlefield's room and knocked. She
admitted him. Mr. Littlefield was
on 7 the front porch watching
him and finding them in a
compromising position, he rushed
through the window into the room and
shot his wife just over the left eye,
killing her instantly. He then shot Mr.
MeCall four times. One ball struck bim
in the lip, just under thenose,one in his
right side, one in the left shoulder and
one in the small of his back. MeCall
ran into an adjoining room and fell.
Medical aid was summoned at once, but
he died at 2:20 a. m. Mr. MeCall was
about fifty years old, with a large fam
ily, having grown children, and the
family stands very high in the estima
tion of the community. Mr. Littlefield
is about the same age. His wife was
about forty-five years of age. They came
from Massachusetts, and have been liv
ing in Jessup for twenty years.

Test Case on the New
School Law.
Special to the Globe.
Watertown. S. D., May 21.— The
political campaign in South Dakota this
year commences early, and gives prom
ise of being lively from this time hence
forth. The action of the Democrats in
calling theis state convention early is a
commendable one, and shows upon its
face that the party of tariff and ballot
reform in this state means to make a
vigorous campaign; also that it is will
ing and anxious to get its platform
formulated and placed before the
masses of the people, so that all may
learn the policy that is to be pursued in
asking for the suffrage of the voters.
It is given out at this date that the tar
iff, which is of paramount importance
to the farmers of the Northwest, will
be the main issue. There is a current
ot anxiety in Republican ranks, com
mingling with fear, connected with this
issue, and many Republican farmers all
over the state have spoken in uo un
certain manner on this subject, which
so largely interests' them. They have
went to the polls year after year and
voted their straight party ticket
under the false promises that their
party leaders have made, and, after
seeing and assisting the high tariff
advocates retained in power, they have
been compelled to swallow the bitter
ness of broken pledges until it has be
come unbearable. Ballot reform, too,
will be a watchword for the Democrats
of South Dakota this year. In nearly
every county, township and city in the
state reform clubs are being organized,
and these two reforms— tariff and the
ballot— are being discussed and studied,
and many who have heretofore given
these imoortant questions little or
no thought, are fast learning their im
portance. The question of the resub
mission of prohibition to the people of
the state will also receive its share of
consideration. The recent decision of
the United States supreme court rela
tive to the sale of Intoxicating liquors
in the original package has given pro
hibition a. black eye..-: It is reported
that wholesale houses will soon be es
tablished in all the -larger cities, and
that liquor will be sold as per this de
cision. Many who voted for prohibition
last fall did not look into this matter as
it now confronts them, and without
further trial they are ready to return
to - a system of revenue for the
sale of liquors. The Democrats
have certainly made no mistake in call
ing their state convention early in the
season. It will be at a time when the
farmer representation will be larger
than if it were called after harvest, aud
it is confidently expected that the tillers
of the soil will turn out in large num
bers. The work of the last session of
the legislature has caused 'uneasi
ness in the Republican ranks, and just
how they are going to face the voters
this fall is a matter of conjecture. Their
broken pledges are squarely before
them aud as yet have gone unanswered.
The Democratic platform will be so
constructed that the old ringsters of the
Republicans, through their state central
committee, will be compelled to spring
something delusive to the voters as a
last resort, hence the lateness of their
convention. But the people will not be
deceived so easily this time. They have
drank of the cup of bitterness so long
without complaining that the virtue of
such a proceeding has given away to a
more candid thought of the real issue
and the medium through which reforms
so long demanded may be attained.

whom an injunction has been applied
for to restrain him from conducting re
ligious exercises in schools, has filed a
rejoinder. He denies the constitution
ality of the new public school act, and,
after reciting the principles and claims
of the Catholic church regarding edu
cation of Catholic -children, says the
church regards lhe schools provided by
the public schools act unfit for the pur
pose of educating their children, and
the children of Catholic parents will not
attend such schools. Roman Catholics
will revert to the system in vogue pre
vious to the Manitoba act, and will
establish, support and maintain schools
in accordauce with their principles and
faith. The whole case has been brought
up by Catholics to test the constitution
ality of the act, it being the only means
available to get the matter before the
courts.

Chamberlain, S. D., May 21.— A set»
tier just in from the Cheyenne rive*
gives an interesting account of camp
life of the government troops now sta
tioned on the Cheyenne to guard set
tlers against any feared or fancied out*
bread of Indians on the Sioux reserva
tion. There are now about 350 soldiers
in camp on the reservation. The usual
routine of their life is made less monoO
onous by daily visits from about 400 In
dians who are encamped in the vicinityii
The redskins get around at reveille and
keep the soldiers busy watching them
to see that they 'do not steal a tent*
horse, cooking stove, one of the officers,
or some other little thing, until retreat
is sounded at night. In spite of all vig
ilance, however, a great many articles
of more or less value disappears every,
day. The Indians appear friendly, and
fear of an outbreak has subsided. When
the troops first arrived on the ground
there was much reason for apprehen
sion; and, indeed, one officer,
asking for two companies of in
fantry, intimated he would at
once march on an Indian village.destroy
it and open the ball. At this time the
young bucks were eager for battle, an'{|,
had it not been for the wiser counsel of
older warriors, would doubtless havo
precipitated one. An old fellow, how*
ever, when the war council was hob},
built two hills of sand. One was snutfJ,
the other several times as large. Pol_tw
in*. to the little one the old warrior sals,
"like Injun;" to the big one, "like white
man; Injun got no show against white
man." This seemed to settle it. The
ardor of the young bloods, eager for
scalps was dampened, peace was de
termined upon, and the council broke
up. At the present time 200 Indians
are camped on the Belle Fourche river.
They are on the reservation, and ap
parently mean no mischief. When they
first struck camp, however, they visited
the various settlers and offered to trade
any and everything they had. even to
squaws and papooses, for saddle horses.
The settlers Wisely refused to trade.and
therefore have not suffered from a raid,
for one was doubtless intended, and
would have been attempted If the red
skins had succeeded in getting ponies.'
