Ilavi tried to read Blame out of the party and failed, Boss Reed and his associates are now making an effort to hurl Quay over the battlements, to leave him to perish on tlie'outside. The Republican party could not pet along without Blame. He has too firm a hold on the masses to be forcibly ejected from leadership. And while the moral tone of Republicanism would be vastly improved by getting rid of Quay, still he is so much of a necessity to the party it would be suicide to dis place liim from the perch of bossism he now occupies. The one thing most needful for Republican supremacy is a good boodle distributor; and, as Quay is without a rival in that line, his serv ices are absolutely indispensable to his party. Mr. Quay has not been actuated by good motives, as all of us know, in thwarting Reed's schemes; but he has rendered such important service to the country in that respect, the people of the United States, are willing to con done many of his political sins. It takes a rogue to catch a rogue; hence it is fortunate for the public interests that Quay was in position to put the brakes on Reed's reckless legislation. It may have been a bit of vanity on the part of Quay to show that he is really a bigger boss than Tom Reed, or he may have had some particular ax to grind in side tracking the force bill; but, whatever his motives, he has done a good 'thing lor the country, and has . helped his party out of a mudhole. It is not likely, therefore, that the Reed gang will suc ceed in their scheme to excommunicato" Quay. It looks now as if Blame and Quay may yet pool . issues and form a . combination against the Reed-McKin __y crowd, who are supposed to be the special representatives of the. adminis tration. In that event the chances are that HABitisoNwill not be renominated, but that the Republican - forces in 1892 -will be called upon once ; more' to rally around the : white* plume of their favor- ite leader. . USEFUL CONSULS. Some do not quite understand the full scope of the activities of consuls; to un- . . important posts in . other, countries.: There may be some incidental little matters to look after in connection with fellow countrymen straggling, about, but of late years many, of the consuls have done excellent service in gathering information pertaining to the people,; productions and methods in vogue: in, the countries where they are located. These reports are published by the gov ernment often, perhaps generally, and many of them afford tlie most i reliable . and serviceable information "obtainable in regard to interests that are useful ; to. know. A recent report of this kind; from the consul at Mayence, in Ger many, treats of tbe use . of American pork in Germany. The: prohibition against its introduction into that country is only nominally based on sanitary grounds. Ample evidence has been ; furnished the authorities that the American hog is as free from dis ease as the European animal. Before the interdiction there was a large aud increasing consumption of American pork. There was some protest ou the part of local growers and dealers who were able to keep the home product at high prices on account of its insufficient amount; but the chief inducement to debarring the product of this country was to retaliate for the high duties upon German goods exported to the United States. The trichinae did duty as the pretense. But, as this consul re lates, the interdiction of the American article was but partially effect ed. Holland does not exclude it, and the meat from Holland .: is not suspected to be diseased. It is imported by the German butchers. American pork is shipped to Holland, and at once becomes a product of the country, aiid is sent to Germany as "Dutch bacon." It is soli at from 12 to 13 cents a pound,' while the German ar ticle is worth 17 to 18 cents. -The con sul says "the American meat is import ed in a salted state into Holland and smoked there, and at a cost of seven cents a pound for salted American pork certain Dutch dealers are afforded a handsome profit, while the business in the article is wade impossible to all parties concerned who do not partici pate 111 such transactions, and to-day no one is able to dispose of dear meat from German swine." PQHSp^I^SB This must necessarily result in pro tests on the part of the consumers, as they find that they have been . using American meat with no harm, and that there is no basis for the claim that it is not safe. They are forced to pay much higher prices than they would with "di rect importation. Still, in the face of McKinley bills, liberality towards American products cannot be looked 1 for. ■ _ «-». MOODY IS SCORED. Tho Louisville Courier-Journal is in discriminative in its treatment of the Black Hills senator, Mr. Moony, in re lation to his recent tariff deliveries. The impulsive Rerituckian would do well to remember that Moody* has a military title, just what is not recalled, derived from the war, when he : feels . impelled to designate him as a '.Tuna-,.' tic" and "the champion idiot of the sen-": atorial body." He adds further: "Moody could be acquitted of murder in any court in the country, if his speech were put in evidence as demonstrating that he was non compos mentis." g^_B The senator is, no doubt, too humane to take advantage ot such an opportu nity for revenge upon "the star-eyed goddess." The passage in the speech of the South Dakota senator that elicits tins attention is mainly comprised in this: ' " . z l' ~- ?t^ -:'""; "I am opposed," said he, "to a tariff for revenue. ' lam in favor ef a tax on any imported article that enters or may enter into competition with the products of America for the especial purpose of protecting and promoting that produc tion,' leaving the revenue to be derived therefrom as merely incidental. Igo so far," he said, "as to declare that I would absolutely exclude the foreign product when it could be successfully supplied by home labor." Senator Moody is undoubtedly for protection. He may carry it somewhat to an extreme for an agricultural state to be easy to stand before intelligent people, but he is in the direct line of the Republican platform. He would have the importation of tin entirely prohib ited to give a monopoly to the corpora tion for which he may be an attorney. The tariff bill is to impose a duty of 4 cents a pound, $90 a ton, on the ore. The people of the country are to be taxed $20,000,000 for the benefit of mines that Mr. Moody says are the "richest in the world," and can develop tin at half the. expense of the Cornwall mines. This may be rough on the people, but it is a fair sample of the entire,, vulpine ani mal of protection. The paper quoted looks at the matter in this light: 'Tf instead of these tin deposits, with iron aud coal alongside, the friends of Moody had found a ready-made deposit of tin cans tilled with fruit and vegetables, tons of cor rugated iron roofing, millions of household utensils ready for service, tin buckets for the : laborer, and some steel rails ready for new railroads, the consequences would have been "so disastrous that the only adequate relief would have been to declare a boycott against the world, to blockade our own ports, to fill our harbors with torpedoes, and double and quadruple the prico of all articles they found. Thus we see what a narrow escape we have had from utter financial ; ruin. As it is, if we discover another deposit of tin, or find a few -. more ore • beds, rich in metallic j iron, we will be utterly undone. ; Indeed, as a precaution against any further abundance of the good things ; of life, we ". might even now execute •• half a ' hundred explorers, and sentence all of our inventors to confinement in the penitentiary for life." . _ mmtmlm, GET IN PLACE. The Le Sueur News is more honest than most of the Republican journals in the state, in declaring that the Republi can party is committed to a protective tariff, and that the Pioneer • Press ; and its satellites are playing a game of deception in trying to persuade the voters into a contrary belief. . It is the grossest hypocrisy for Gov. Mekkiam and his organs to profess to be favorable to free trade, or even to tariff reform, and yet work in Republi can harness. The issue between the Democrats and the Republicans on the. : tariff question is too well understood for either Republicans or Democrats to sail .under false colors. It is a case where the leopard is known by his spots. ; Tariff reformers have no more: place in. the Republican rank's than, protection ■ ists have in the Democratic ranks. ; The man who professes to be a Demo crat arid a protectionist in the " same breath is a deep-dyed hypocrite. And it is the same case with ; a - : Republican who professes to be a r free-trader. Oil and water : will not mix. ').. : 'i '.. _..

THE KAISER'S BLUFF. / There will probably be some history ; made in ' Europe to-day, and • the old ; town of Narva in : the Russian empire ; will gain celebrity. It is there the - meeting of the autocrats will take place at high noou, when Kaiser William '. arid the Muscovite czar will shake hands with an outward show ; ; of friendliness, while rancor burns in each heart. 2lt will be enforced Russian hospitality that -;. will be extended to Germany's emperor. He is not a welcome guest,' I notwithstanding the : grandeur ;of the Russian empire will be on exhibition in honor of his coming. The Emperor William visits Russia ■on his own invitation. He intended to take the empress along with him, but ■ the czarina'; turned up her nose at the suggestion, and gave it out in cold Rus sian words' that' the German empress would not be entertained : by her at the royal palace in St. Petersburg. Conse quently William left his wife at home, : and has gone over by. himself to talk business with his brother autocrat. 7 It was a bold stroke of diplomacy in the young emperor to force himself upon the czar, but it is a bit of audacity' that may help to preserve the peace of Europe. The occasion of the visit is- to bring about an understanding between Germany and Russia relative to some matters that the czar has heretofore evaded a discussion of. It is important to German interests that this business should be closed at .once; : and .as the czar could not be induced to visit .Ger many, the emperor took the bull by the . horns by visiting Russia, and will de mand a full settlement of all differences between the two countries before he quits Russian soil. An evidence of the emperor's willful ness was manifested in his refusal to go straight to St. Petersburg, as the czar had requested but he will landatßeval this morning, where the emperor did not want him to stop on account of the strong German sentiment there. Will iam arranged his own " ; programme for : the visit, and the czar has to submit to it or be guilty of a breach of royal courtesy . and hospitality that would be sufficient provocation for war between the: two countries. Every movement of the German emperor indicates that he .is _ going to have his own way or a fight, ■and the bluff he is playing on Russia will probably. win his cause. But, whatever be the result of the con-" ference at Narva to-day, it will be an event in European politics. that will be come historic. Permanent peace or war roust follow, and notwithstanding the recent belligerant utterances of the Russian autocrat, the 'chances are that this day will date the beginning of a long peace for Europe. ' : mMtt. That county of Perry in the mount ains of Kentucky, where a venturesome judge is trying to hold the 'first term of court in two years, under the protection of two companies of state militia, has not a school house or church, and has not heard a sermon for years. It is cer tainly heathen enough to claim the at tention of missionary societies, ■'■■ If the element of peril is wanted to give zest to the missionary spirit, there is more of it than on the malarial coasts of Africa. The judge says there have been 300 murders in the few- years past, and no one punished. It is a staunch Repub lican county in politics— more than two thirds of the voters belong to the g. p. Probably the Democrats are being killed off. : j a—* ' There have been people overlooked by census takers in other years, but they have not been wanted so badly as this year. A Nashville paper says that at Memphis the names on the grave stones were copied, and still there was a shortage. It is a, year when every thing counts. It may be suggested that a census in this city is to be taken, in a few days. ', ■**-" — Mr. Clarkson's acceptance of the chairmanship of the Republican con gressional committee was understood to be conditional upon the passage of the election bill. But 'he is too good a Re publican to really refuse. Still, he will find it a bad year to elect Republicans by the votes of the people. Of course peaches will grow in Min nesota, just as bananas will in Dakota. A man at Warsaw, in this state, has a tree with nineteen peaches ou it. He keeps it in a tub, and carries it into the cellar when the weather is frosty. .If the winters keep growing warmer, he may leave it out doors. -. .-..«*■> . . — . Clarkson's paper says Supt. Porter will be able to finish the data in time for the new apportionment to bo made by this congress. Unless some scheme can be devised to make more Republi can members out of it than are now visible, there will be no attempt to force the new deal. A St. Paul chemist who knows the Chicago scientist who is said to have found a method of extracting aluminum at 15 cents a pound is confident there has been no such discovery. He says it would be the greatest mechanical dis covery of the age. Congress has entire control of the District of Columbia.

Republican Organs on All Sides of the Tariff Ques tion. Donnelly and Fish Gently Touched Up by the State Press. That the farmers of Minnesota cannot be fooled all the time by the leaders of the Republican party" is; strikingly, ex emplified by the manner in ; which- Chairman Joel ■P. Heatwole's little scheme of giving the' farmers all the nominations for the legislature through out the state, thinking that by so doing the Farmers' . Alliance can be weak ened, is received by the people \ gener ally. During the past week it has been discussed by the politicians, the farm-; ers . ; : arid . the , local papers, and all unite in declaring it /''an absurd proposition. The politicians of the party are against it because some of them want the legislative nom inations ' for themselves. The farmers denounce it because it looks as ; though it were a proposition to - buy > them off with office, and they are not in the field with that end in view.: The local papers are against the scheme for the '■■'■ simple reason that they fail to see any reasons why local tickets should be sacrificed or put up to carry ; through an unpopular nominee for governor. The Glencoe ■ Enterprise states the case very clearly in the following: V The chairman of the Republican state cen tral committee, Joel P. Heatwole, probably acting by dictation of Merriam. proposes that all Republicans shall • stand aside this year for Merriam's ">. sake, and that only farmers shall have the legislative offices. Republican politicians who have been :iu training for such positions : will scarcely take kindly to; Mr. Heatwole's idea, but if they do, it will be well for all good people to put on their cor onation robes and prepare for the end of the world.. When Republican politicians :sur render the - machine . . for Merriam's sweet sake, the indications ; are •; very strong that Gabriel is about to blow his horn. Mr. Heatwole evidently : entertains a very peculiar idea of the Minnesota ; farmer. His proposition would seem to prove that his theory of the farmers' movement is that they are only after the empty honor of < holding a few poony paid .offices. The truth is . that what the farmer wants and demands ,is not office, but the establishment of a new system which shall be radically different than that created and controlled by Merriam and the millionaire monopolists. There is a princi ple at stake, about which Mr.Heatwole seems to know and care nothing ; so. forsooth, he ex pects to bribe the farmer, and to steal away the bribe again, a Utile later on. It is safe to say that Joel Heatwole's "idea"' was actuated by a desire to gratify, the overweening self coucjit of the man with whose name it is as-' sociated. He hopes to make himself talked about, and without observing the flimsy and shallow character of his plan, and being him self surprised that his mind had < conceived of anything novel, -he hastened to promul gate it. But the:"idea" is a monument of political asininity - and. not of political sagacity," as Heatwole supposed. . Editor Stacy, of the Howard Lake Herald, keeps pounding away at Gov. Merriam, whom he has denominated the millionaire vote broker. .From . the amount of space devoted to denouncing his course by his Merriam contempo raries, it is evident that the bosses are afraid that the people ; will prefer to follow the lead of this independent newspaper man rather than that of the machine. . The last issue of the Herald contained the . following rather caustic deliverance iri answer to the criticisms ■ of a contemporary : , : So far as we can recollect, there hasn't been a political nomination made .since Stacy took charge of tbe Herald which has gi\£u . him any degree of : satisfaction. We recom mend a change of Litchfield News- The one Republican candidate whom the Herald during its present administration has opposed is .Merriam, the millionaire vote-, broker. The News-Ledger possibly finds the political "diet'" at ■ the . Merriam "barrel", so good . that it recommends to its neighbors a similar feed. We are candid in saying that the Merriam "diet" does not agree witn our political digestion, nor do we believe it to be made of good, sound Republican No. 1 hard wheat.i"^^B_nHHHH_9Hl • Now that the brilliant (?) scheme of 1 making the campaign on "state issues" in Minnesota this year has fallen so flatly, the Republican newspaper organs ought "to get together," and that very; • quickly.; In many counties of the state Republican papers can be found on both sides of the fence on the tariff question. Out in McLeod; county, for instance, Editor Tallboys, - of the Glencoe-Regis ter, is -■ fighting : for the McKinley • bill and claiming that the tariff taxes are paid by the '< .- foreign - manu facturers and . not by the Ameri can consumers. A dozen miles northwest of Glencoe, in the beautiful little city of Hutchinson, there is pub-, lished a staunch Republican paper— the Leader— which declares that Blame is "all right," and that the McKinley bill ought to be laid on the shelf. Both are supporting Gov. Merriam. and the Glen-, coe Register is trying to climb upon the Hall band wagon. So it "is ,in every portion of the state. The ~ evasive plat form adopted by the late Republican convention has placed the party organs, in a bad place. They would : like to be in a position to support? their party's congressional candidates, but if they do - so they will be going back on Blame, and this is just what a great many are afraid to do.^SgßHtUJWQpigf iWVhggpß "But they havo got to /'get together," and how will they do it, is the auestion. Now that the "state issues" campaign: is to be given up, but one style of cam paign can be made, and it is one of mud slinging and abuse. On this - common ground Chairman Heatwole will gather the party organs. The tariff ; and silver questions will - be ; ignored entirely. Of course this sort of a campaign is a little out of : date, but .; so is the party wHbse five members of congress from this state voted to raise tariff duties formulated to meet the exigencies of war. V- Why have the - Republican managers dropped the cry of "make the campaign on state issues •'exclusively, and don't touch the tariff?" ; J P:. . For several reasons. Chiefly. because the people, ground down as they are at present under : oppressive " and . unjust tariff laws, will insist on "talking > tar iff." Secondly, because ; a campaign on state issues may become decidedly un pleasant. The , management of the Stillwater , prison, it is ; said, ; will not bear the light of day, and .there are a number of other state institutions an investigation into which will \ place the ! present "business ! administration" in : a ; very bad place. A Just to start : this ; ball a-rolling the present "business adminis tration" is requested to answer the , fol : lowing questions 5 relative to . affairs as they exist s at the Stillwater state's prison : „nH|B)ffBNO_HP-HBMn First— Why is it that all the ; old and competent guards have been discharged and their places filled by new . and "in competent men? ;: : ..' Second— lf this has been done on the score of economy, whyis it that there are ; at present five more guards on duty than 1 ever before,* when, as a matter, of f fact, ; there are 100. less prisoners confined in the prison?/ ..>^3BP9Bh_GHB_PW4 * Third— ls it a fact - that the convicts tell their; guards -, what . they will - and ; what they will not do?.'- ;.;.;.:/ •: Why.is it that wounded and disabled soldiers have been I dismissed to ; make way for political heelers at the ; prison? Hflf the present business administration will answer these questions/ the G_ob_ will propound ia j : few more pertinent : queries in regard to one or two - more of the state institutions." The \ Mankato - Register,- dyed-in-the- wool Republican journal, though it is,; i sees clearly through;. the } schemes of Donnelly and Fish, and makes the: fol lowing remarks about; these gentlemen and their peculiar manner of "support ing the Alliance ticket:" ;-- Donnelly > : ana ? Fish are after Secretary , Lathrop/ of the State Alliance, and the next .issue of the Great West promises to be a i scorcher. ;If - Donnelly had « been elected ' president of the Alliance, and Fish secretary, l 'and Donnelly had been nominated for gov i ernor, and Fish had carried out his campaign ; boodle-fund scheme, all of which these twain , endeavored to accomplish, but were thwarted •by i the \ bona-ride * farmers, the ; Great West would how be : singing low-scented ]■ duties, Donnelly would have been cracking jokes ; instead of frowning frowns, and every Al liance man would have been, classed among the angels. As it is, it is otherwise. . ".."•'.-.■'. -.*." The Preston Times, edited by an offi cial of the Minnesota state's prison, fol lows the lead of ; the Minkato Register and "roasts'' the sage very severely. It asks: "Why doesn't the Farmers' Alli ance take a tumble r and everlastingly bounce or ignore the » old ;■ sorehead and , chronic dissension propagator, Ignatius Donnelly?,. The Alliance has no use for men whose sole ambition and delight, when things don't seem to be coming; just exactly their way, is to ; bust every thing;; to smithereens, or at least to attempt to. Donnelly's oral expositions," gibberish is the proper ' caper, at the re cent meeting of the Alliance executive committee in - St. Paul, wherein ■ Secret tary Jehu Lathrop was his anterior mark, to create distrust and dissension; in the ranks of tne Alliance his ulterior aim, was impudence 'pure and simple, and leaves it very plain upon the face of it that the old sage of Nininger is run ning away, very fast with the idea that what he doesn't know isn't worth know ing, and that what; he discountenances and disapproves must go to irremediable smash." The Glenwood Herald, although very friendly to the Alliance: movement, has no time for : Fish and Donnelly. Last week, after quoting an article from the Willmar Argus to the effect that Don nelly would probably get enough signa tures to secure him a place on the state ticket as a candidate for governor, the Herald comments on Fish and Donnelly after the following fashion: "These two • rogues are loud in their cries for ; purity . in politics, but aoout the best way for these cusses ;• to purify politics ;is to get down and : out. They are both rascals— separately and collectively— and '_ hardly worthy the name 'men;' but custom . makes " it necessary for be ings who wear . pants and coats to be called by that name. Their motto is rule or ruin— particularly the latter." ; Col. C. H. Graves, the speaker of the last house of .: representatives, is out of politics temporarily, at least, and _ will not be a candidate for the state senate . this year. The colonel wanted to be a candidate for lieutenant governor, it is said, and failing to receive the nomina tion for that office he prefers to remain under cover during the coming''cam paign.; His letter declining to be a can didate for the legislature is as follows:; . "I feel obliged to say at once that the en-' grossing nature of my business affairs this year makes it impossible for me to spare any time for - legislative or political duties. It happens that - I can probably do more for Duluth : by intending to the grain business this next year than in any other way, and . others can fight for her in the legislature just -as well. 1 trust they will send, men of abil ity and honesty whose influence will be felt there." ■■01 THE CLEARANCES.

"One of the funniest things I have seen for some' time in the line of mar ried life occurred the other night," said a ; prominent officeholder to a re porter. "Five of us were ; standing in front of a .saloon endeavoring to per : suade one of our number that it would be a pretty good idea to make a night of it. The man who wanted to go home is a regular down-towner.ibut on this occasion he really wanted to go ; home. The most eloquent of the four persuad ers was frequently found down town every night; but he ' mar ried and— well, let us draw the curtain over that sad fact. But this night he was down town, and when the 'regular' wanted to ; go ? home this elo quent persuader began telling him how unmanly it was. to leave his friends just because his wife told him to be home early that night; that he ought to oe more of a man than that. * . He got this and a good bit more off, and had about succeeded in t carrying his point with our friend with the good intentions when he suddenly, concluded . that he would go home himself. The change in our eloquent persuader's intentions was radical and ; complete. ; It was caused \ by a dynamite bomb In the shape of a little woman who sudden !y let us -now,. : that she was in ddSfi ? proximity to , the . gaug. .It ' was '. the ' wile of : the ■ elo- ; , quent persuader.
