FROM FALSE I'UKMISES. New York Sun takes issue with Glob c for the rebuke adminis ■: by it to the Chicago Tribune when i) said that "the gold Democrats still <1 = clare that they are for a tariff for revenue only, but do not moan it." - recent access of proclaimed üblicanism scare ly requires a fierc er espousal of tin 1 high tariff cause marked its past, when it assumed ak for Democracy. It dues not lay its usual acuteness in the pres instance, because the entire prem ises of its arguments do not fit the ease. It says: roghout the entire effort for the p on bill, christened "•Protectionist" by Mr. Wilson himself on the day ■ rat, or National I h m i crat, to be more accurate, ever said a word in dentil ialion of Its principle or demanded :iy. with the i xci | i lon . Henrj Watti rs >n, and hi.- yoice on stilled. More than that, the rei gnized spokesman of the National Democrats in the L'nitod ite, the Hon. D m Is in Caffi Louisiana, in th ession just closed, d<-< iared his platform I i be "a tariff on luxuries." Senat would juggle with The tariff for the proti 'tion of one lot of citi zens, the poor, at the expense of another lot, the rich. A tariff for revenue only knows neither rich nor There is not one word in this that applies to the question whether or not the National Democrats seriously favor a tariiV for revenue only. At the time of the occurrence to which the Sun re fi rs .is proof of the soundness of its position, the National Democracy had no existence; and, if you had called a man a 'gold Democrat," he would have asked you what in the dickens you meant. At that time every honest oerai admits that the opinion of his party was divided; that one portion Of it was sincere, and that there were distinct varieties of Democratic opinion on the tariff. The first was for outright free trade, or a tariff for revenue only; of this Mr. Henry Wat terson is a fair type. The second was practically identical with Republican ism on the tariff, only that it wanted tin favors of protection bestowed upon its friends instead of upon others; of this, Mr. Gorman at that time, and Mr. McEnery, of Louisiana, at the pres t-nt, are fair representatives. Between these two stood a third class that did not harbor any very positive tariff opinions, believing, in a general way, that :■. tariff for revenue only was the righi thing, but desiring- to reach it progressively through successive reduc lions of existing duties, rather than by a revolution of our revenue system. It was because of just such divisions etna such lack of strong conviction that dissensions and misfortunes came upon the party. Had it been true to its pledges of 1892, it would be in power to day. Bitterly as we regret that fail ure, however, it does not become the Sun to shy rocks at anybody. If the Ideas of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Cleveland, whom it hates, were not ideally right, they were, at any rate, a vast improve i I upon the ideas ot Mr. Gorman, v/ho is dear to its soul. Democrats of all shades of opinion have learned a g i deal since 1892. Views have crys tallized, lines have been drawn more sharply, a"nd those who have been call T O'i upon to make a formal protest at ..-, great .^sejiiire^have-'dgnAfcSo^.ljfcttttUiii* -their conviction's are" not now either" uncertain or subject to change. What Mr. Caffery said about the tariff some years ago is no more to the point than what the Sun would have said about Tom Platt in the days before it became his authorized mouthpiece. The National Democracy, which the Dfcicagro Tribune accused, dates no further back as an organization than Tne Indianapolis convention of Septem ber, 1896. Jt can be judged only by what Its representatives have said and done since that time. Any mistakes of oplni' i: or action justly laid to their charge In earlier years count no more thai; the earlier leanings toward what they vaguely designated as "bimetal lism" could be brought up against men whose intelligence was convinced by the last campaign of the necessity of maintaining the gold standard. To make a fair case against the National Democrats, it must be established by the Chicago Tribune and tho Xew York Sun, both of which hate them tor their earnestness and sincerity, that they have said or done something sinco tho Indianapolis convention to Inolloato that when they declare tor a tariff tor revenue only they do not moan 11. When these men went t«> [ndlanapolla they made a now departure, struck ->ut a new lino ,>f political action tor them selves and their associates) and wiped their records dean. Have they since that, any or. all of them, given ground for the charge that their declaration tor a tariff tor revenue only was in sincere? If so, we shall stand corrected. If not, the Chicago Tribune was guilty of a mean falsehood, and the Sun is endeavoring to share the odium of it. THAT "MODERATE PROTECTION." Our commiseration flows out to those Democrats who were beguiled with the oily gammon of the last campaign, which gave them assurance that while, of course, the Republicans, if success ful, would revise the Qorman tariff, which no Democrat had accepted as Democratic, the revision would be on the lines of "moderate protection." Lured by that and the assurance that the "endless chain" would be cut and a sensible banking system devised to replace the crazy-quilt affair patched up in the various compromises made in the i>ast. a million or more Demo crats plumped their votes for McKinley and landed him in tho presidency. How completely they were buncoed the treasury expert, Mr.- Evans, now makes plain to them, an exposure to be sup plemented later by the utter failure of any financial measure, even the milk and-water scheme of a monetary com mission. Mr. Evans has made a computation of the rates of the Dingley act based upon the imports of last year, and compares them with the rates of the Gorman act. We learn that, instead of having to lay down $40.18 with ev ery hundred dollars' worth of goods brought in and paid for by our ex ports, there will have to be laid^ down $54.66. In other words, $14.4S will have to be kept out of each $100 worth of our goods sent out to pay the increas ed tax laid upon the articles exchanged for. Its exact equivalent in effect would be an increase in the freights on our exports of 14.48 per cent. But the amount is not so important, in the view presented, as it is in view of the prom ises of the confidence men of the last campaign. Is tris the "moderate pro tection" they promised? That there would be an increase in the Gorman rates was expected; that they would be less than the McKinley act of 1890 those Democrats had a right to expect. But the latter was moderation itself compareS with this latest embodiment of the greed of protectionism. What it would have attained had it lived longer must remain a mystery; it might have reached the estimate made of its descendant. It began with an average of 46.28 per cent in 1S91; reach ed 45.71 per cent in 1832; rose to 49.58 per cent in 1893, and got to 50.06 per cent in 1894. It was a lusty and grow ing infant, but its kinsman starts off with an average of 54.66 per cent, which is 4.6 per cent more than McKin leylsxn had attained at its highest. Be ing specific wherever possible, should prices continue to fall, the average equivalent ad valorem rate will rise still higher, and cheer our McKinley Democrats with a larger dose of Re publican "moderation." We hope they like it. Ol'R -KMIXEXT CITIZENS." The inability of communities of the Amer ican people to govern themselves after a century or more of experience is the moft strikinc; phenomenon of American life to day.—St. Paul Glob a. The ability of committees of eminent citi zens, huddled together in one hundreds, two hundreds, and two hundred ar.:l iifties. to teil American communities how they ought to he governed is the most remarkable phenome non of American life today. It seems clear that the people don't know how to govern themselves. They have to depend unon these ccrnmittees of leading amateurs.— Now York Sun. A fact cannot be thus easily disposed of with a sneer. If gibes had been mightier than facts, the venerable ed itor of the Sun, if existent at all, would be wearing breechclouts, for there has never been a proposition to get better government, better morals or better manners that there have not been plen ty to sneer at the reformer. In spite of this, largely because of it, it remains the fact that communities of Ameri cans are still unable to fitly govern themselves, and it is a fact that what ever progress they nave made, and they have made some, has been entirely due to "Reading amateurs," acting some times singly and sometimes in "com mittees of eminent citizens." A hun dred and mere years ago such a com mittee, protesting against bad govern ment, gave a famous tea party in Bos ton, and another committee of liberty boys set up and kept up their liberty pole not far from where the amiable olci gentleman of the Sun new sneers at the efforts of "eminent citizens" to better the government under which he lives. When one recalls the warm friend ship, the sweet unity, that existed be tween the Sun and one Mr. Tweed; how whatever Tweed and his adepts did the Sun heralded and praised, and how "committees of eminent citizens"— frjgM*"" <*o t?^t&&oit^^&!&Jr YVt * t rf j£ j^jw with that "leading', amateur," '"&'&<&sP J. Tilden.at its head?— made such a dis turbance over the bad government Mr. Tweed gave New York city that that friend and patron of the Sun was pack ed off to die in jail like a common felon, then it is that one gets into the right kind of light to make perceptible the dislike of the Sun for all such "ama teurs." Those "leading amateurs," having done something for good government, turned to their vocations, and it was not long before things were almost as bad as under the Tweed ring. Not quite, for the robbery was more adroit ly done and the Sun looked on the THE SAINT PAU& UMiJJIS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1897. change and called it good and praised Kelly and Croker and the other adepts who had restored the conditions which the "leading amateurs" had over thrown. And then there came another lot of "eminent citizens," forming their committees and working for better gov ernment. They showed how the mill ions of the people's money had been taken and spent with nothing much to Show for it. They pointed to the filthy si roots and to the annual sums squan dered In keeping them dirty and want id to know if that was good govern ment. And the "eminent citizens" drew unto themselves and their cause a ma jority of the voters who wanted gmd government, but knew not how to get it, and there was another turn-over. And thereafter and until now the streets are clean, the police are effi cient, the pantata has disappeared, the boss is in retirement and an equiva lent is shown for every dollar of taxa tion laid. These are local illustrations both of the fact of bad government and of the fact that good government conies only through the efforts of "leading ama teurs" acting in "committees of emi nent citizens." It was thus only tl.at the polls were purified and made &o that now no one, unless very foolish, shouts fraud when his party in New York is defeated. It was thus only that the offices of our federal govern ment were taken away from the spoils men who used them as pay-checks for services, and sneered when it was inti mated that their henchmen should know how-to do the work of the places. And if we are to have better and ever better government in our cities, states and nation, it will come, not from the sneers of this modern Machiavelli of the press, but through the patient, in teMigent, persistent work of "leading amateurs" acting in committees com posed mainly of our "eminent citizens." UOX'T BE SILLY. The St. Paul Globe is still at it, contra dicting In its news columns the doleful prognostications of its editorial columns as to tho result of recent tariff legislation. In its Sunday edition it says: "Never in the. history of i?t. Paul have the business con ditions presented so bright a prospect as at present." And this only one week after the passage of the Dingley bill. If Republican tariff legislation has done so much good in one short week, what may it not be expretrd to accomplish in the long future?— Minnea polis Tribune. To be sure. Here you are, right on time with the preposterous claim that we shall hear ringing from every knuckling Republican organ in the country. Why of course the Dingley bill has been in force only a week. In that time the wheat crop over most of the world has shown signs of failure. American wheat, responding to the proud tax of the Republican party upon the pauper wheat of Europe, has responded in every stalk and root. Crops that were planted last Jtlarch or April and were going to be utterly worthless unless the tariff bill passed have picked up their bended heads and are booming right along for the har vest. It is a wonderful thing, this tar iff. It can make an excess of nearly $;J00,000,000 in exports over imports for the entire year prior to its passage. It has the past, as well as the present, securely in its gri;>. The conditions which make for pros perity in the United States today were j clearly set forth by the Globe and | are known to all men. They consist ! of four or five years of enforced saving among the people, owing to the preva lence of hard times and the consequent accumulation of capital; but. more than all, of a good crop in this country, coincident with a total crop failure in Australia, a famine, pestilence and revolution in India and a season that has changed the Argentine Republic from a seller to a buyer of wheat. Add to this the subsidence of the free silver agitation, owing to the rise in value of farm products, for the reasons that we have just set down, and you have ev ery element to produce good times. And jusi; think that we owe all of this to the act passed only a week ago and signed, according to Mr. Clarkson, by the president with a "mother-of pearl pen." Probably we should add to this accounting the discoveries of gold in Alaska, which we cannot doubt are also due to the Dingley bill. This is the pretty song that the tariffltes are singing everywhere; and, if they get any enjoyment out of the exhibi tion of their own silliness, why should anybody interfere? !?.AXD HILL aiVEUB DITCH t'omuelM the Drainage Commission to Adjourn 11 Week. The state drainage commission was I in session yesterday at the office of I Gov. Clough. The commission had a i number of bills to approve, the ac- ' cumulation of three months, and these I were passed upon. When it came to the consideration of the work which confronts it, the commission found a hitch on the Sand Hill river ditch, and decided to ad journ for a week in order to secure full i advice as to whether or not it could i use the Sand Hill river and to what extent. Accordingly, the commission will meet next week. O'XKILL IS ARRESTED. Sai«l to Have Stolen Jewelry In the South. Al O'Neill, said to be wanted in Kansas and in Sioux City on a charge of stealing jewelry, was arrested in St. Paul last night by Detectives Marnane and Gruber at h.v.. West Third street. A quantity of jewelry was found on his person, which th? detec tives think was part of the missing prop erty. A telegram was received by O'Neill yesterday advising h:m to keep out of s'ght. This fell into the hands of the detectives, and aided in his arrest.

The Republican politicians are doing con siderable figuring even at this early stage of the game as to the make-up cf the spring ticket. A number of the machine leaders have arrived at the conclusion that the man ner in which the funds of th<> city were handled by the comptroller and city treas urer, especially as to the deposits in the suspended banks, would hurt the ticket if the present incumbents were renominaied. Several conferences have been hcid b/ one wing of the grand old party, and the fol lowing; head for the ticket has .been sug gested: !\iaycr — Frank B. Tnran. City Comptroller— Freddie N. Bryant- City Treasurer— Edward Feldhauser. * * * The surprise is that Comptroller MoCardy is to be turned down by the machine. It Is thought that it is going to take more than the decision of a tew of the slatemakers to keep the comptroller out of it. He warns a renomlnation, and if it is not allowed him he may allow the use of his name as a can didate for mayor. This has been suggested to Capt. MeCardy several timos recently, tut he has up to the present time told his friends that if there i=; any place for which he considers himself fitted it is the position he now holds. To be turned dawn in the midst of his usefulness will not go down. even to help out the aspirations of little Freddie Bryant. Some of the Republican politicians seem to think that Mayor Doran cannot secure a c .eeond nomination, but the mayor has cast a whole raft of anchors to windward, in fa^r that has seemingly been his iVrst thought in any appointment he has made since he has been in office. He has accordingly reduced the possibilities of defeat in the convention every t.me he has had a chance to give out a position. Now he has another one at his disposal or will have as soon as Mr. Sei.olle returns from the West. Whether he will solidify himself with the Volkszeitung by ap pointing Mr. Xeuhausen or not remains to be seen. It is understood that Mr. Neu hauren's friends have advised him not to make any effort at this time, but. rely on the .promise Mayor Doran made after appointing the two Zimmerrnans, that the next place wou^d go to Neuhausen. Other candida'es for the place have been to see the mayor and he Is again thinking. Tho man who see?, him last is the one who thinks he is going to be the lucky individual. • » * It seems to be taken for granted at this time that if Mayor Doran gets a renomiiu tion there will be two Republican tickets :n the field next spring. It is not believed that the morning Republican paper will again support Doras under any consideration. It will favor a Christian Citizenship league t'eket or nne that will receive the support of the Republicans who are opposed to Mayor Doran's way of doing business. They want somebody with amc stamina, a man wh.is, promise is worth more than the breath it tak^s to utter it. The evening paper will s'Vl>port the machine candidates even with Doran at the head of the ticket. It would prefer \V. R. Johnson cr Kdward Feldhauser or almost anybody in preference to Doran, but if the worst comes It will support the present mayor. Rrte*a of Hit' Courts.

QLQUtbT PARTICULARS DAfJZ GAIJIS 30,000 GREAT NORTHERN'S NOMINEE LEADS THE RACE BY A LARGE MAROSX. GIRLS' RACE GROWS WARMER. MISS GOULD PUSHES MISS FLIX.\ HARD FOR THE LEAD NOW. THEIR FRIENDS DO XOT REST In Their Endeavorx to IJiinu Their Fiivurites* Out at the llcuil of the List. In spite of the fact that the coupons in the Globe this week are worth but two votes each, the votes cast yester day aggregated in all nearly 70,000, and they worked a number of important changes in the list. Especially was this true in the case of the men, George J. Danz, of the Great Northern, having received a solid block of over 30,000 votes yesterday, which gives him a gram! total up to date of 108,774/ or about two-fifths of the total vote cast in the men's con test. It is evident that Mr. Danz's friends rallied to the rescue when they saw his laurels threatened by Louis Newman. Mannheimer's hard fighter. Over 5,000 votes were cast yesterday for Mr. Newman, and had George Danz made but ordinary gains, he would not have been leading the list this morning. Mr. Newman's block of five however, pales into insignificance be fore the bunch of thirty which were cast for his leading rival. Henry \ Ekman, the Northern Pacific's favorite who is holding third place, received a nice addition of over 1,700 yesterday and Ned Cummings, of the Milton dairy, who is fourth, fattened slightly John T. Kelly, of Michaud's, who is fifth', pulled up materially, while Sam Brant, of Terxa's, who was seventh is now sixth, his gain of 365 votes y s . terday having put him ahead of Oscat Johnson, employed by H. C. Burbank. The contest among the girls was not characterized by any such large b] of votes, but it is none the less inter esting. Jt is getting closer and closer as the days go by. Yesterday morning Miss Harriet Flinn, of Schunemann i- Evans, led the Omaha's favorite, Mi.-^ Maud Gould, by 3,307 votes. Miss Flinn's friends cast over 5,000 votes terday, and yet Miss Gculd gained over 2,000, the champions of the latter throwing over 7,000 votes into the bal lot boxes in her favor. Habighorst's representative, Miss Theresa Guthunz, maintains a good third, the vote for her yesterday falling but nine short of a cool 3,000. She still has 5,000 over her nearest competitor, the Golden Rule contestant. Miss Birdie Benner, whose hold on fourth or better seema assured. NORTH DAKOTA CROPS Promise to De More Hountifnl Than Ever Thi.s Year. A gentleman, who has just returned from an extended tour throughout the wheat fields of North Dakota, having driven through the interior of the coun try, says: "Speaking generally of the state, the crops this year are exe^l lmt, and a bountiful harvest may be expected, if hail does not injure them in the shcrt space of time left 1> harvest, which will begin in ab<>u. days. There is quite a little yellow mustard, for acres and acres between Larimore and Grand Forks, and hail has done a little damage in the north eastern part of the state, but that was so slight it was hardly given passing notice by the farmers. There is also a little rust on the wheat in some places, but it is safe to say thai North Dakota has never had a better crop than will be harvested this year, if no further damage is experienced. CROPS ALOMi THE 900. General Superintendent Pennin^ior. U«'l»«>rl< <>r:iiti I ooUinu l-'ine. General Superintendent Pennington, of the So-o line, has just returned iron; a trip over the line, during which hi visited many of the principal points between here and Minot. such ns Val ley City, Carringt.in, Oaks and Hankii, s;-n. He reports that tlii croj prospects are especially bright, and the wheat is coming along in excellent shape. The farmers will, in a few days more, begin their harvest, and later the small grains, which have had a good sea son, will be taken in. The damage from hail and other causes has been comparatively slight, and the agriculturalists are sharing with the road the not! >n that the . will be a bumper one. Even the porn, which, it was thought earlier in tfci season had been affected by the cold weather, has taken great strides an«l will be a big yield. Cycle Path Ucitelit.
