and Extend the Club

Needed by the Demo
cratic President.
Washington, Feb. 27.— The follow
ing address was issued by the National
Association of Democratic clubs today:
The address of the National Associa
tion of Democratic clubs issued in April
last, outlined the issues upon which the
contest of 1892 must, it appears, inevi
tably be conducted. Wo were not mis
taken in the views pan expressed. The
great battle was pitched at every point
upon the lines indicated. The vital
principle of strict construction
was put at issue, and it was
deliberately approved by a great ma
jority of the votes cast. The tariff
question, resolved and settled by the
application of the rule embodied in the
tenth amendment, is a question no
longer, if the overwhelming judgment
of the people expressed at the polls is
to be respected and obeyed by their
representatives. The details of tariff
v reform— of a system of taxation looking
only to the largest returns of revenue
consistent with the widest liberty of
trade— remaiu to be adjusted by a Dem
ocratic congress with tne aid of an en
lightenec^executive chosen to serve alike
the interests of all classes of American
citizens. In the address above men
tioned we declaied:
A Power to Enslave
"Congress may, under the con
stitution, tax the people to sustain their
own government. It has, however, just
as much right to take their lives, or to
sell their children into bondage, as it
lias to take a dollar from them for any
other purpose. But the Federalist
party, purely to create monopolies upon
which it may rely for political support,
and to further enrich its wealthy favor
ites, boldly assumes the ungranted and
unforbidden power to lay taxes, with
no view whatever to public revenue,
but with a sole and avowed view to
transfer untold millions of "money
annually from the pockets of the many,
who have earned it, to the coffers of the
few, who are licensed to seize it in vir
tue of their unconstitutional monopolies.
If this can be done, there is an
end of liberty; our federal govern
ment is utterly perverted; it is not
merely a fraud, but a despotism; and
there is nothing left worth a struggle.
The power to take and appropriate to
others the proceeds of the people's
labor, is the power to enslave the
people. None such can be round in the
federal constitution. And the question
whether it shall be exercised, though
ungranted. and, therefore, forbidden, is
the question, as Mr. Jefferson stated it,
'between a limited and unlimited
government,' between self-government
and corrupt centralization, between
popular liberty and a grasping and
greedy tyranny, between the masses
and the classes, between the Federalist-
Republican and the Democratic parties.
With great deliberation and solemn
emphasis the Chicago convention took
the same position. It is unnecessary to
set out here that clear and definite
Provision of the Platform.
It was one which could neither be mis
understood nor misconstrued. It
planted the Democratic party audits
candidates of all grades, from the high
est to tiie lowest in that campaign, on
the original and impregnable Demo
cratic ground— upon the constitution
strictly construed— which forbids under
any pretense whatever every form of
taxation, except taxation for purely
public purposes. The people, plundered
by a gigantic combination of monopolies
under favor of government and actually
threatened with the subversion of free
institutions by force and corruption,
united for the aggrandizement of pri
vate interests at the general expense,
approved the Chicago platform by un
precedented majorities, so distributed
geographically as to demonstrate the
universality- of the sentiment and the
permanence of the results.
Rut, while power steals readily and
almost imperceptibly from the many to
the few, the process of reclamation is
ever painful and slow. The enormously
rich beneficiaries of the federalist
policy, taxing the many for the benefit
of the few, circumscribing the indus
tries of the mass to enlarge the license
of a class, are still "in power,-' as they
have been for more than a quarter of a
century. They are in full possossion of
the monopolies, which have enriched
them as no privileged class was ever
before enriched in the same length of
time, and enabled them to protect the
party protecting them. They will re
main "in power" until a just revision of
tax laws on the lines of the constitu
tion, as decreed by the people in the
lato election, shall lop off
Their Undue Protits
and restore to the common people that
proportion of their own earnings which
the federal government does not plainly
require for objects legitimate and speci
fied. They are banded still, as hereto
fore, in defense of their unconstitu
tional privileges. They will resist stub
bornly at every point and stage, and
tariff reform— tariff reform in its whole
wide beneficent scope —as contemplated
by the Democratic party and the major
ity of the people, will be accomplished
only alter a fierce and prolonged strug
gle. The people, it is true, have selected
their instruments, an executive and a
congress, to make this battle for them.
But the battle is to be made and is yet
to be won. Everything substantial re
mains to this hour with the enemy, in
eluding the vast wealth of the monopoly
combination, increased every day the
monopoly laws stand unrepealed.
The object of this address is to urge
the Democratic people and those who
united with them at the electiou in No
vember last, to maintain, perfect and
extend the system of affiliated Demo
cratic societies, whose recent service to
the great cause was so conspicuous as
to be known of all men, and which
must, until the fruits of the late victory
are gathered and garnered, be itquireil

A Perfect Organization
whose principles and purposes are be
yond any possible question. A miscar
riage in the elections of 1894, that is to
say. a failure to return another large
taaiff" reform majority, would be-
calamity of crushing magnitude.
Against it we can have no assurance
except in a system of Democratic clubs,
well organized, active and aggressive,
in every state and district wher^.a con
test is to be made, and their union in
state and national associations.
It is unnecessary to remind either
straight Democrats or conscientious re
formers of the imperative necessity for
this form of organization or of the im
portance and value of the work it is ap
propriately and perfectly designed to
accomplish. They have been too- re
cently demonstrated by events to re
quire further comment. From the good
hour in which the national convention
of Democratic clubs assembled at New
York in the first days of October last,
the election of Cleveland and Stevenson
were seen to be beyond a pet-adventure.
'Ihat magnificent assemblage of
active and patriotic men from all
parts of the country, associated under a
simple declaration of axiomatic Demo
cratic principles, was a spectacle so
striking and encouraging as to resolve
all doubts, and it is now very plain that,
to the thousand Democratic clubs rep
resented in that convention and in this
association, too large a share of credit
for the final result "cannot be accorded.
Let us be found even better prepared iv
1894 and 1896. Yours truly,
Ciiaunc'ky F. Black. President.

LOOKS LIKE HARRISON.
The Culmination of a Hot" Fight
Among Chicago Democrats.
Chicago, Feb. 27.— One of the bitter
est political lights Chicago has had in
recent years was on at the Democratic
primaries today. The struggle was
between Carter H. Harrison, .editor
of the Chicago Times, who has
three times been mayor of the city
and once member "of congress
and Washington Hessing, proprietor of
the Staats Zeitung, one of the most in
fluential German newspapers in the
West. Mr. llessing also claims to be
responsible for the Democratic victory
in Illinois last November. The plum so
eagerly sought by the rival editors is
the Democratic nomination for mayor
in to-morrow's convention.
An unofficial canvass of the delegates
gives Harrison 512 and Hessing 109
votes in to-morrow's convention.
POPULISTS GIVE IN.
Kansas Will Only Have One
House Alter Today.
Topeka, Kan., Feb. Kansas to
morrow will have but one house of rep
resentatives. The Populists were in
caucus all day today, considering what
action to take n view of- the
decision of the supreme court that the
Republican house was the legally or
ganized one. After much discussion it
was formally decided tonight that the
Populist members should join the Re
publican house tomorrow morning.
They will demand, however, that the
house pass an appropriation for the
payment of the salaries and per diem of
the officials and members of the Popu
list house to date. The Populists de
cided also that no bills should be passed
excepting those necessary to keep in
motion the machinery of the state, and
that adjournment should be reached as
soon as possible.
Davis Will Not Resign.
Nashville, Teno., Feb. 27.— Ralph
Davis, speaker of the Tennessee house
of representatives, who has been de
barred by the action of Judge Esten, of
the Shelby county circuit court, an
nounces that he will not resign his
position as speaker, but will tight the
case to the end. He has appealed the
case to the supreme court. The legis
lature meets again on March 8, and un
less Davis reconsiders his determination
not to resign, impeachment proceedings
will be commenced.

Democracy was in line yesterday in
St. Paul for the purpose of doing honor
to the new senator from North Dakota - '
Hon. W. N. Roach. Mr. Roach and his
party arrived iv the city yesterday en
route to Washington, and the greater
part of the day was spent at the Mer
chants' hotel. During the course of the
afternoon the visitors were given a
quiet dinner party in the rooms of the
Mm \

WM. ROJKft s
Minnesota club by prominent Demo
crats of St. Paul. Ihose whose names
are among the best known in connection
with the work of the Democratic party
in the Northwest were present, and
various matters of interest were brought
up. During the course of the dinner
Mr. Roach was the recipient of some
very complimentary remarks, to which
he responded in an exceedingly feli
citous manner. The affair was quiet
and unassuming, but nothing was lack
ing to make it of a most pieasaut and
sociable character.
Shortly after arriving in the city the
party, consisting of Senator Roach, of
Larimore; Col. John D. Benton, of
Fargo; State Senator McCormick, of
Grand Forks; James E. Campbell, of
Mandan; W. P. Miller, of Fargo; Editor
Bierly, of the Grand Fork News, and
others, requested that a parlor be set
aside for their accommodation. They
then retired to it for the purpose of
linking Some Plans
in connection with the disposition of
the various positions at the disposal of
the new administration in North Dakota,
In consequence of the necessarily deli
cate nature of the matters under discus
sion the results of the meeting were not
made public. However, some of the
plums have been apportioned to the
wheelhorses of the party, and the bal
ance will be decided on at some later
time. There are several offices to be
disposed of: United States marshal,
attorney general, surveyor general, two
land office positions each in Bismarck.
Grand Forks, Fargo, Devil's Lake and
Minot.
James E. Campbell, of Mandan, is to
have the . registership of the Bismarck
office, Editor "Bierly will probably get
the corresponding position in the Grand
Forks office, and W.P. Miller, of Fargo,
will probably have the attorney gen
eralship. Mr. O'Brien, of Fargo, is also
a candidate for the latter position, but
it is thought that Miller will be given
the preference.
The new senator is a fine looking
man, and has a military carriage. He
is a modest dresser and is very unas
suming in his manners. He is a' ruddy
looking man and seems to carry with
him a goodly portion of North Dakota
ozone, which permeates the atmosphere
ot his personality. An iron gray mus
tache and small goatee add to his mar
tial appearance and strengthen the
noticably strong character of his feat-
The Senator Talks.
"There seems very little for me to
say," he said to the Globe man as he
leaned gracefully against the desk at
the Merchants'. "I have been inter
viewed a number of times, and I can
only say that I have never been able to
give out much information. I can tell
you all about the wheat business in
North Dakota, however. I have a sec
tion of land there, near Larimore, on
which I raise wheat. 1 have lived in
the state of North Dakota since the
year 1879. My family lives in the city
of Washington, and 1 am on my way
thereto join them.
"ln regard to the calling of an extra
session Jam of the impression that Mr.
Cleveland would have made some state
ment to that effect. Of course, Ido not
know anything about it. In regard to
the silver question 1 must state that 1
am with tho platform of the Democratic
party. It will be the proper thing, ac
cording to my idea, to lemovo the tax
on state bank issues. The platform was
accepted unanimously, and it will be
the proper thing to, act accordingly.
There could be no such a thing as wild
cat currency used in the Northwest. Of
course, the proper restrictions will nec
essarily be observed in all these things."
Mr. Roach is of the Impression that
the national platform, in regard to the
repealing of the MeKiniey la\v, will be
observed. He rhode'slly saicf that as he
was very new as a senator and would
not assume his duties as such for some
time to come, he did not like to say too
mucji, ...
~ "1 was very much surprised when I
found that I had been -' elected Of
course, I had an intimation of what the
result would be. But there was 'nothing
sure about it. The men wlio elected me
were among those who were voting tor
Mr. Miller. After they found out that
they couldn't elect their man they came'
over to our side. Ten Republicans
voted forme. We had an organization
never to be defeated. My flection to j
the senate lias made it a sure thins: that
the Democratic power. will prevail. 1
am a Democrat, and there is one thing,
about me that 1 will say. My politics
have never been questioned." • THJjV
Proud, of Roach.
Every one of the members of the
party spoke in the highest terms of the
new senator. They seemed to have the
greatest respect and admiration for him
and to place the greatest confidence in
him.
"He is as honest as the day is long,"
said Senator McCormack. "He is a
poor man and there was no money used
in electing him. lf those on the other
side used money they lost it, of course,
as they did not win their cause. He is
unquestionably the best man, and every
one is glad to see him elected. He will
bser ye the wishes of the people, and
will work for the interests of the state
of North Dakota- every time."
The party left for Washington last
evening, although they were in doubt
as to the advisability of starting on
such a stormy night. But the men of
North Dakota are not afraid of snow,
they are used to it, and they concluded
that if the train should become block
aded they would make the best of it.
The names of those present at the
luncheon in the Minnesota club rooms
are as follows: Senator Roach, Col.
John D. Bentou, Col. M.L. McCormacK,

A STRANGE, BATTLE.

Special to the Globe.
Bismarck, ,N. D., Feb. 27.— The
Standard Oil lobby having left the city
satisfied that no hostile legislation
could be passed at this session, a more
stringent bill than ever was introduced r
today and will be favorably reported
for passage tomorrow. A large anti
resubmission lobby arrived today from
East Grand Forks, just over the border
in Minnesota. They are wholesale and
retail liquor dealers who do not want
the prohibition law repealed in North
Dakota. Thus the strange analogy is pre
sented of liquor men and prohibitionists
working hand in hand for the welfare
of public morals. The legislature is
very close, and" it is '-believed tonight
that the liquor men have secured enough
votes to defeat resubmission. Among
the lobby is one who plays the frightful
example act. The senate passed a reso
lution for the woman's suffrage amend
ment, Hillier's bill declaring -all grist
mills custom mills,' and; a large number
of other bills. The house passed a large
number of bills. The only bill sent to
the governor was the bill repealing the
boiler inspection law. - r£^r*r x

PIERBE, S. D., Feb." 27.— The senate
passed twenty-five bills today, among
them being one to regulate building
and loan societies; also prohibiting in
dividuals from doing business under
the name of a banking company; regu
lating elevator companies; also for pay
ing $15,000 claims of militia for service
in the Sioux Indian trouble of two
years ago; also providing for state in
spection of private banks; also increas
ing liability of railroads for avoidable
killing of stock. The house in commit
tee of the whole agreed to pass a bill
making railway companies liable for
double the value of property destroyed
if they refuse to pay the damages within
sixty days; also agreed on the passage
of a bill for the inspection of steam
boilers. •
The house passed a general educa
tion law; the clause requiring the Bible
to be read in public schools was stricken
out. Consideration of the general ap
propriation bill was commenced today
in the house, and is a special order until
completed, which may be two days; the
resubmission question is at the front
again, but the Prohibitionists are de
termined to filibuster on the appropria
tion bill until it is too late to get the
passage of the resubmission bill, as the
legislature must adjourn on Friday of
this week. The resubmissionists got in
a notice for an amendment to the rules
so that a majority can suspend them,
and hope in this way to force a vote on
resubmission tomorrow, but this will be
bitterly contested. The general appro
priation bill carries about $000,000.

'.. Who said "Beautiful Snow?"
If the man who wrote the poem could have been in the city of St. Paul yester
day and waded through some of the drifts ne would have immediately been sorry
for encouraging such an industry as the making of snow.
Such a nasty, disagreeable day, with blizzards in embryo at every corner, such
drifts, such walking and such swearing. People bundled themselves up until
they could not see where they were going. They bumped against each other at
the corners, apologized, and repeated the whole performance at the. next
corner. •yt^pipryp™' .-■■ =..; AA > '•. .. ■;.■-.-• ; -..;_-...,,. ..... .,.- -,--.
It was not very cold, but the snow had such an unpleasant way of getting down
into shirt collars and working up around the tops of shoes. It clung to the cloth
ing, and would not be brushed off. It melted oil the brims of hats and trickled
down necks. Such a slipping, sliding crowd as the people were yesterday.
Vln the morning the air was filled with a slight suspicion of feathery flakes.
They drifted through the atmosphere in a most gentle and unassuming way, and
the wind tossed them about in a playful style. Then the clouds seemed to break
up into'solid banks of snow, which were tipped over in the air and fell to the
ground in blinding profusion. People wondered if St. Paul was to have a regular
New York storm. Tired horses, with their steaming flanks and snow-covered
backs, plodded through the streets with their heads held low. as though in
bumble protest at being compelled to be out in such weather. The gripmen on
the cable cars and the motoueers on the electric cars stood at their posts like
snow men, and seemed like representations ot Jack Frost. The snow tilled their
hair and whiskers, and their mustaches were masses of half-frozen ice.
The snow plows and salt cars toiled along the streets, and little clouds of snow
flew into the air as they struck the drifts.
There was little delay in the working of the cars. Three snow plows were kept
at work on the interurban line until midnight. Ten snow plows were used for
the purpose of cleaning away the snow from the tracks ot the other lines, ana 1.50
men, armed with shovels, were scattered along the various tracks. About 200
sack's of salt. each, weighing 200 pounds, were used during the day on the rails.
The Mississippi, Fort Snelling and Grand avenue extension lines were blockaded
for a short time, but the snow plows were run regularly and the way was kept
open. Mr. Hoskins, the St. Paul superintendent, said that the men and plows
would be kept at work all night for the purpose of keeping the way opeji. He
said that about ten inches of snow had fallen and it was oue of the most severe
storms he had ever seen.
At the weather bureau the clerk was bothered all day by people joking him
about the character of the weather which he was furnishing. He said tnat it was
one of the worst storms he had ever witnessed. The storm center was at Kansas
City yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. It then started east and north, striking St.
Paul at about "3 o'clock in the afternoon. After leaving all of the snow that could
be spared for the city of St. Paul the storm started north and west again and in
the evening it was at Duluth. The observer s-iid that it would go to Chicago by
way of the lakes and would arrive there after midnight. He said it would be most
severe over the lakes.
The most disastrous effects of the storm are felt by tha railroad companies. The
trains for Chicago were sent out as usual, but tile passengers were notified they
would be comoelled to take chances on arriving at their destinations in time. Re
ports received at the local offices state that the train service between St. Paul and
Chicago was completely demoralized and the trains were stalled in various places.
The trains on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific lines were taken off, as it
was absolutely impossible for them to make any progress against the drifting
snow. - The small snow plows which are attached to the greater number of the
engines had no effect. The soft, wet .vuality of the snow caused it to pack rapidly
of its own weight, and the strong wind caused it to drift as rapidly as it fell.
Business in the city was very much interfered with by the storm. People were
compelled to keep indoors, and the greater number of the stores had but few cus
tomers.
The Northwest is not the only portion of the country which suffers from. the
storm. It extended down into the extreme South, the storm taking the form of a
'rainfall. The precipitation has been very great, a third of an inch of water fall
ing in Tennessee. In the West the snow fall was not greater than three or four
inches, but that portion of the country between the Twin Cities and Chicago re
ceived the worst part of the storm. Over a foot has fallen in some places.
; : At a late hour last night the Interurban line between Midway and Minne
• apolis became blocked, and it was found necessary to take off the cars. The line
between St. Paul and Midway was given up almost entirely to the snow plows,
'although cars were run at long intervals. The strong wind which commenced
blowing at about 10 o'clock caused the snow to drift very badly, and there were
few cars running on any of the lines. Traffic was not very heavy, aud tho hour
was so late that the traveling miblif was not seriously discommoded.

Grover Cleveland's Inaugural
Address to Contain About
1,700 Words,
And Will Be Mora General
Than Specific in Char
acter.
His Utterances Upon Admin*
istrative Policies Will Ba
Plain.
Kind and Hospitable Spirit
Shown by the Retiring
President.
New York, Feb. 27.— St. Clair Mc"
Eel way, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle,
who lias been for several days at Lake
wood, N. J., and during that time has
had conferences with President-elect
Cleveland, writes his paper as follows:
"Grover Cleveland's inaugural ad
dress as president of the United
States for four years, from March -i
next, will contain about 1,700 words
and will be more general than specific
in character. Mr. Cleveland has care
fully written out what he desiros
to say, -but will speak at the
inauguration without manuscript,
only referring to topical notes to
refresh his memory. The address will
express Mr. Cleveland's profound grati
tude to the people for the honor thus
a second time conferred upon him as a
mark of confidence in him and belief in
the principles upon which he was
elected. His utterances upon the finan
cial policy, tariff and economy of ad- •
ministration will be
Decisive and Frank.
•'Confidence in Democratic principles
as able to deal with the problems of
labor and capital, sectional divisions
and political unrest will be expressed.
The abolition of federal interference
with elections in the states will, it is
said, ba treated as a recognized de
cision of the people. The pension
department, the new navy, a rigorous
quarantine and the regulation of immi
gration will probably receive attention.
The president may not refer openly to
the question of annexation of Hawaii,
but will take a conservative stand on
the subject and not act hastily.
•'Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland will go ar
once to the executive mansion after th«
inauguration, and not to any private
residence, as has been reported. Pre*
ident Harrison has had the White housj
put in admirable condition. He has
been in correspondence with Mr. Cleve-
I land, and the latter greatly appreciate!
the kind, provident and hospitable spirit
which the retiring president has shown
for the comfort of the family of the in
coming executive. . . -r. .
"Mr. Cleveland and President Harri
son will ride to and from the inaugural
ceremonies together. Mr. Cleveland's
First Veto
was sent in against the arrangements
that he should be driven from the capi
tol to the White House behind four black
horses in white harness, with an out
rider on each. This did not accord with
Mr. Cleveland's Jeffersonian ideas, and
the veto of it was quick and decisive.
Lieut. Gov. sheehan has been at Lake
wood several days, but did not call on
Mr. Cleveland.'' /
Mr. McKel way adds the following
notes of interest:
"The death-bed. or . elcventh-hout
loyalty of the Brooklyn machine to
Cleveland, is appreciated at its commer
cial value, and whether the home ma
chine will have the courage to keep out
of caucus at Albany or not is watched
for here with interest. The pol
icy of going into caucus with the
purpose to back out or to try to back
out of caucus if anything unpleasant is
sprung on the caucus, is regarded here
as an endeavor to ride two horses going
in opposite directions at the same time.
Open opponents within the party will
be* treated with no preference to nerve
less ;ml inveterate self-styled friends.
Ami snipper Democracy ranks high in
the quotation of political values here
and ai> Washington now."

Undoubtedly Insane.
Atlanta, Ca., Feb. 27.— Miss Julia
Force, the murderess, is now a pris
oner. She has surrendered to the chief
