the Democrats, Globe and all. coming into

With them so well?
Because these low tariff Republicans
and the Globe do not agree with the
high tariff principles of the Republican

EVIDENCE OF GROWTH.
There could be no better evidence of
the wonderful development now going
00 in the Northwest in consequence of
the rapid immigration, than that fur
nished in the report made public yester
day by (he Northern Pacific railroad.
From this leport it appears that the
total freight and passenger business of
the road for the third week in February,
1887, amounted to $196,485, while for the
same time this year it was $254,319, an
increase of $117,834, or nearly 100 per
cent. A remarkable feature being that
the per cent increase was nearly the
same in both freight and passenger
business.
This is a phenomenal record in North
western railroading, and naturally re
flects great credit upon the manage
ment of the road, but it could not be
possible without indicating a corre
sponding increase in the settlement and
business of that vast empire lying to
the northwest of the Twin Cities. No
better index of the prosperity of a
section of country is possible than that j
Liven in the records of tho railroads
traversing it. They must prosper or de
cline together. And as' they prosper,
the great cities which are their points
of supply and distribution must at the
same time be benefited. ~
So that the exceptionally good show
ing made by the Northern Pacific must
necessarily be as gratifying to the Twin
Cities, and to the Northwest generally,
as it is to the officers and stockholders
of the. road.
THE COMING LEGISLATURE.
This fall Minnesota will elect mem
bers of the house of the legislature that
convenes in January, ISSO. The sena
tors hold over from 1887.
Hitherto in state campaigns the
Democracy has been content to figure
for the gubernatorial and congressional
offices, leaving the legislative ones to
the almost absolute control of the Re
publicans.
In consequence the laws of the state
and its financial policy have been dic
tated by the Republicans, with a silent
acqniesenee on the part of the Demo
crats, too hopelessly in the minority to
oppose.
Is it not worth white for the Demo
cratic leaders in the coming campaign
to direct a portion of their attacks
against the Republican majority in tho
legislature?
There is abundant evidence to be
found throughout the state that the
people are dissatisfied with the policy
of the Republican law makers.
There is a serious question in the in
quiry as to extravagance in the legisla
tive appropriations ami a wanton expen
diture of moneys on schemes not prima
rily designed to benefit the people.
The proposition is not advanced that
low license should be ret tuned to, but
the form of the present high license law
is very repugnant to a large portion of
the state. It is believed that just as ef
fective and yet more reasonable meas
ure could be framed and passed next
winter, if the Republicans were not de
termined to make political capital out
of the law as it is.
There is to be an important election to
the United States senate in the legisla
ture of Minnesota this winter. When
D wight Sabin was made a national sen
ator it was by an alliance with the Dem
ocrats. Had he not had Democratic
support, his success would have been
impossible.
The Democracy has certainly devel
oped sufficient strength in Minnesota to
cease making alliances with any other
party,
These three considerations —financial
legislation, temperance laws and the
electiou of a United States senator— all
call upon the Democrats to pay atten
tion to the legislative campaign.
At the present time the legislature of
Minnesota is the poeketbook of the Re
publican party.
The suggestion is made to the Demo- j
crats that they gain control of. it aud
make it a council of the people.
A Democratic majority in the house
of the legislature of 1880 would not
brighten the prospects of any Republi
can desiring to become a United States
senator.
The prize is worthy of a spirited con
test.
__»
CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.
As a result of some peculiar process
of reasoning "Joe" Manley, of Maine,
chairman of his state Republican
committee, but best known as Mr.
Blame's lieutenant, has concluded to
distribute 75,000 copies of the president's
message in that state as Republican
campaign literature. As the result of
very well understood reasoning, the
Democratic officials are distributing the
same number of copies of the same mes
sage in the same state, with the same
purpose.
The Republicans could not aid the
Democrats even in New England in a
more effective way. The Demo
crats should ably second their efforts,
and lend them all possible assistance.
The people of New England are intelli
gent enough to see that the president's
message was written by a man who has
the interests of the people solely at
heart. They have been thinking a good
deal lately on this question of high
tariff and the way it develops monopo
lies. They have dlscoyered, too, that
in no way is the fostering of monopolies
beneficial to them.
They are beginning to learn that, with
the removal of the high tariff, their
scanty earnings would go twice or
thrice as far. and they are beginning to
understand why i% is that the Republi
cans have persistently refused to per
mit them to take advantage of that fact.
The president's message will enable
them ;to see the matter even more
clearly. They will learn through it that
the Democratic party is in favor of a
tariff in the interests of the people in
stead of for the benefit of rich corpora
tions and millionaire monopolists.
In fine, they will learn the lesson
which Minnesotians, Democrats and Re
publicans alike, have long since learned.
Therefore the Democrats are under great
obligations to the Maine Republicans for
their valuable assistance. Let us hope
they will continue in the good work.

HONESTY VS. DISHONESTY.
Jay Gould is a millionaire, and so
was W. W. Cohcokax. If Jay* Gould
were to die to-night, not one tear would
be shed over his bier. When the news
wentout that the venerable Washing
ton banker was dying all the nation re
ceived the tidings with tearful eye, and
all the land joined in supplication that
the good man's life might be prolonged.
Why this difference in the public feeling
toward the two eminent financiers?
The answer lies in the fact that one
represents honest and the other dishon
est capital. Jay' Gould is the type of
the dishonest capitalist, while Mr. Cor
coran represents the class who have
obtained wealth honorably and who
know how to make good use of it.
Outside of the handful of anarchists
and socialistic agitators there is no
antagonism to capital in this country.
All the talk about the conflict between
capital and labor is the veriest non
sense. There is no conflict and no
antagonism, except as the honest senti
ment of the country stands arrayed
against the dishonest methods by
which organized capital increases in
dividual wealth. The popular feeling
toward Jay Gould and Mr. Corcoran
respectively is an illustration in point.
Mr. Corcoran accumulated his mill
ions by purely legitimate methods.
No one dared to accuse him of taking
one dollar wrongfully from his fellow
man. Not so with Jay Gould. His
accumulations represent so many op
pressions, so many treacherous deals,
so many betrayals of confidence, the
wrecking of so many business
enterprises, the destruction of so
many private fortunes; in fact,
there is nothing base or dishonorable in
business life that has not in some form
or other been associated with the
THE SAINT PATJL DAILY GLOBE: BATUHDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY _(5, 1888. -TWELVE PAGE&. *■
methods he Is supposed to have adopted
in acquiring his colossal fortune.
There is a popular prejudice against
Jay Gould and his business methods
that amounts to a downright hatred.
So intense is this feeling that perhaps
ninety-nine one-hundredths of the peo
ple in America to-day would rejoice at
the tidings of his downfall. At least
none would mourn over it.
But that doesn't argue that this feel
ing of bitterness conies of any condition
of antagonism between labor and capi
tal. On the contrary, the universal ex
pression of sorrow which follows the
news of "Mr. COBCOB ▲ K'S death is the
best evidence that a rich man can hold
a warm place in the hearts of the masses
when he merits it.
Just so the bitterness of feeling which
exists to-day against the "trust* com
binations, the coal barons and the rail
road syndicates does not come of any
antagonism to capital. It is merely the
result of popular hatred of dishonest
methods in business life. The aim of
these "trusts" ami combines is to crush
out honest and honorable competition
in business. Their aim is. contrary to
the genius of American institutions and
repulsive to the element of justice and
love of fair play which predominates in
American character. They are adopt
ing the Jay Gould methods, which are
despicable in the eyes of all honest men.
When an individual tells you that this
outcry against trusts and the wicked
combines is low demagogy and an
attempt to arouse public sentiment
against capital, you can spot him for a
rascal without missing the mark.
Honest capital has the respect of
every honest man, without regard to his
conditions. Dishonest capital merits
the enmity of every honest man, with
out regard to the position occupied by
the dishonest capitalists. That is all
there is of it. The popular enmity to dis
honest capital Is only the result of a pop
ular desire to restore honest methods in
business pursuits, and when this is done
there will not even be an appearance of
antagonism between labor and capital.

INDIAN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.
Senator Dawes, who, representing
the New England element which views
the noble savage through the halo of ro
mance thrown around him by the
"Leather Stocking*' tales, has made
many absurdly impracticable sugges
tions regarding the civilization of the
Indians, seems to be on the right track
at last. He his introduced a bill in the
senate providing for the establishment
of an Indian industrial school on every
reservation inhabited by at least 500
Indians.
The only practical way to help the In
dians, as well as any other race of men,
is to teach them to help themselves.
The Indians are able-bodied and intelli
gent. They have an abundance of land
and a fixed food allowance from the gov
ernment. All that is necessary is to
give them the needed knowledge of the
handling of tools and then compel them
to exercise that knowledge. Left to
themselves, with their rations promptly
furnished them— with, in fact, no incen
tive whatever to exert themselves— it is
not at all surprising that the noble red
man should prefer a life or ease and in
dolence to one of hard labor. In that
respect he does not differ a particle from
any other man.
But if it were a choice between work
ing ami starving, and if he possessed
the knowledge which white men pos
sess the Indian would not be long in
making up his mind to till his virgin
fields and earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow. The government, by the
establishment of industrial schools, can
furnish him with this knowledge, and
while he is acquiring it should support
him; but when— the time would
not be long— should be able to do so, ■
it should tell him to shift for himself; !
standing ready, however, to come to Ins
assistance in case of emergency.
Senator Dawks' bill will provide the
necessary preliminaries for the success
ful operation of such a plan, and should
command the warm approval of the
Western congressmen especially.

JUBILANT CHICAGO.
Our dispatches this morning inform
us that the members of the Chicago
delegation were on their way home from
Washington last night in high jubila
tion over the selection of St. Louis as
the place for holding the national Dem
ocratic convention. It is something so
far out of the run of the natural order of
things for Chicago to rejoice over any
good luck to St. Louis, it is worth while
to slop a moment to inquire into the
cause of this unlooked-for jubilation on
the part of our Chicago friends.
Our dispatches say they were evi
dently filled with enthusiasm because
they regarded the selection of St. Louis
as an administration victory. This is
probably the truth, but it is such a won
derful exhibition of patriotism on the
part of Chicago people that the country
will be fairly paralyzed by the an
nouncement. When a Chicago man
smothers his local pride and voluntarily
surrenders any vantage ground his own
city may possess, it may be written
down that there are some extraordinary
forces at work. In this instance this
unexpected lack of selfishness and won
derful display of self-abnegation
on the part of the Chicago del
egation is an evidence of the strong
hold the Cleveland administration
lias upon the popular heart. Everybody
expected that the Chicago delegates
would have returned home mourning
most of all that the prize coveted by
their city had been bestowed upon Chi
cago's old time rival. But instead of
that they have taken their harps down
from the willows and are coming back
with song and laughter that their eyes
have witnessed so great a salvation. If
an administration victory can do such
things for a Chicago delegation, who
can limit its effect upon the country at
large?
-•*
NOT MUCH LEFT.
But comparatively few people realize
the fact that what has been known as
the public domain is almost a thing of
the past. While there are millions of
acres of government] amis yet unsettled,
there is comparatively a limited amount
remaining available for the purposes of
the agricultural settler. Nearly all of
this is in Northwestern Dakota, where
24,000.000 acres yet remain untaken.
But so great are the needs of the surg
ing tide of immigration, amounting on
a laud basis to 4,000,000 acres a year in
Dakota alone, that it is manifest it will
require but a few years to dispose of
what remains of the public domain.
The country has been too generous
with its public lands. Though a Demo
cratic administration has recovered
some of the lost ground, restored mill
ions of acres to the public, the reckless
extravagance of previous administra
tions has caused untotd millions to be
taken from their rightful owners, the
people, Railroads and speculators have
benefited at the expense of the settler.
Though a halt has been called at last, it
is well-nigh too late. The public do
main has almost become the land grant
railroad domain.
But something may yet be done in the
way of rigidly preserving the remaining
acres. The honest settlers should alone
i be considered, and to that end the
homestead law alone should be allowed
to remain as the means of securing
public land. It is the only one which
will secure absolute honesty in the dis
posal of lands. Let the speculator deal
with tho railroads, to. whom an over
generous government has given cm-,
pires greater - than those of many
European nations, but let the govern
ment itself deal only with deserving
settlers. J ; .vl
The present congress will be recreant
in its duty to the people unless it makes
some more effective provision for the
proper distribution of its remaining
lands. The day when Uncle Sam hail a
farm for every one who might choose
to apply has long since gone by. I

STRAY SUNBEAMS.
On his way to Florida President Cleve
land passed through Richmond. The train i
did not stop in the clty,but passed over to the
Manchester side, where a halt was made to'
change engines. During the wait, President)
Cleveland stepped to the rear platform of
the car and, looking across the James river to;
the city which lay against tier hills In beauti
ful relief, he stood for some time In a reverie.
When asked by his wife of what he was!
thinking, he replied that he was thinking of I
the place Richmond occupied in the country's
history, and was trying to recall the names
of the presidents who had preceded him ou a 1
visit to the city. .
* *
■»
The theme of the president's reverie was I
one that would naturally be suggested by the j
sight before him. Prom the spot where he
stood could he seen the old church in which ;
Patrick Henry's eloquent voice rang out
the sentence so familiar to every school boy,
"Give me liberty or give me death." There,
too, was the old capitol from whose portico
nearly half a century ago Daniel Webster
delivered one of his famous orations in the
hearing of 50,000 people, in which he en
deavored to square himself with the South
ern people on the slavery question by the
following forcible language: "I, Daniel
Webster, standing before a Virginia audi
ence in front of your beautiful capitol, with
the rays of an October sun falling upon me,
and the noble James rolling before me, do
most emphatically declare that congress has
not the right, either directly or indirectly, to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia."
* *
*
And then, as the president's mind reverted to
his own predecessors in ofliee, he had but to
cast his eye to Hollywood cemetery, on the
outskirts of Richmond, to look upon the
graves of two i residents— Monkoe and
Tyler. In the state of which Richmond is
the capital repose the ashes of three
others— Washington, Jefferson and Madi
son. Coming on down to more modern
times, in imagination he saw President Lin
coln, immediately after the evacuation,
walking the streets of Richmond, viewing
the smoking ruins of the late Confederate
capital and conferring with eminent
Unionists in relation to the re-establishment
of civil government in Virginia. Then, in
13G8, Gen. Grant visited the city and leis
urely walked about the streets, smoking a
cigar and recalling the events of the war of
which he had been the hero. Hates and
Artiivr had each visited the city during
their terms of ofliee. And, last of" all, Mr.
Cleveland stood and looked upon the his
toric spot. No wonder that memories of the
past rose up in quick succession or that he
was given to reverie.

* . .
W. W. Corcoran, the aged 'Washington
banker, who died yesterday, was as noted for
his philanthropy as for his wealth. Yet he
made it a rule never to allow any one to im
pose on him, not even to derraud'aig him out
of a nickel. Several years ago, under the ad
vice of his physician, he went to the White
Sulphur springs, in Virginia, to spend the
summer season. Having occasion one day
to hire a hack, the hotel proprietors charged
him $5 for the use of it. According to the
customary Washington prices for hack hire
the bill should only have been 83. Mr. Cor
coran refused to pay more thau what he
thought' was just, and. gathering up his fam
ily, ieft the place, in opposition to the advice
of his physician, saying that he would rather
die thau be made the victim of extortion. ':.'
■¥■ '
Among Mr. Corcoran's many charities,
one of the most beautiful is the "Louise
Home," at Washington, which was founded
for the benefit of aged ladies who had no
support. The institution is a home in fact
as well as in name. The old ladies who are
housed there are all of respectable antece
dents, and they are treated with all the con
sideration and attention that would be be
stowed upon them if they were the owners of
the establishment. They are provided with
servants and carriages, just as they were used ,
to in th ,'ir prosperous days. The "Louise
Home" was named for Mr. Corcoran's wife'
and daughter and was built as a memorial to
them.

Good Congressional Timber.

Thomas Bow en, editor of the Sleepy

congressional timber. He would be able
to drive a nail in the railroad corpora

give Kelly and Doran a punch in the
ribs to show them their insignificance,
and would lead the Democratic party
on to victory in the Second district. He
is a man with a good head on him.
These are the men we want in the com
ing election. We want a clean sweep,
and we'll have it.
Of Two Evils, Which?
Wiudom Republican.
Merriam and McGill seem to be the
leading candidates for governor. One
a banker, and he other a clerk around
the capitol for about twenty years.
One has made the state better for
leaving him a resident, and the
other a regular salary taker. One
has made investments in the fouthwest,
and done something for our develop
ment, and the other has ridden down
here a few times on free passes and
drawn his salary from the state regu
larly. Of two evils, which shall we
choose?

COTTON SEED OIL TRUST.
Some Seventy or Eighty Companies in
the Trust.
ARMOUR'S HAND TO BE SEEN.
How the Trusts Are Manipulated by the
Bosses— A Syndicate to Fight
the Sugar Trusts.
-
. New York, Feb. 24.— The senate in
vestigating committee took up the cot
tonseed oil trust to-day. This trust
made no effort to conceal its real status.
Before the examination of witnesses
was begun, Lawyer Elihu Root, on be
half of the trust, objected to the in
vestigation on these grounds: "The
trust has only to do with cottonseed oil;
no cottonseed is grown or the oil pro
duced in this state; the corporation was
not formed in this state, but in Ark
ansas; only three of the nine trustees
live in this state; no combination or
agreement lias been made in this state:
and it is not within the scope of the
committee to investigate the trust; the
committee has no more to do with tho
trust than it would have with a Con
necticut woolen mill or a Western rail
road." The committee overruled the
objections, and called John Scott, one
of the trustees, to the witness stand.
He said: "There are
SEVENTY OR EIGHTY COMPANIES
in the trust. Last year's crop was 700,
--000, of which the company controlled
530,000 tons, 27} i per cent of the oil was
exported. The balance was used for
soap, safety lamps for miners and as a
lubricator. The several firms make
monthly reports, which are investigated
by employes of the trust. The capital
stock of the trust is fixed at 1541,700,000
nominally. A dividend of 4 percent
has been declared. As the stock sold
for 85 per cent, the dividend
was actually about 12 per
cent. The combined stock of the
companies entering the combine was
loss than half of the stock of the trust.
Witness thought that since the forma
tion of the trust in 1885 the price of cot
ton seed had risen. At that time the
mills ere on the verge of bankruptcy,
and some of them had shut down. Col.
Bliss asked witness if he had heard that
Armour & Co., of Chicago, had at one
time threatened to establish a cotton
seed oil trust in opposition to the one
now existing.
Answer— lie had. *
Question— lt was not. established, was
it?
A.— sir.
Q.— Was not that because of an un
derstanding, or in fact, an agreement of
some kind between Armour & Co. and
the cotton seed oil trust or some of its
stockholders?
At this point the witness became con
fused, and declined to state. The com
mittee, however, directed him to an
swer, and after consulting with his
counsel, he said there was an agree
ment between Armour & Co. and the
cotton seed oil trust, which stipulated
the price at which the former could
purchase cotton seed oil. Gen. Pryor
demanded that the witness be
directed to state in detail, as
near as he could recollect, the
provisions of the agreement. Witness
could not remember. He stated, how
ever, what he knew regarding his own
side, but appeared delicate about say
ing anything regarding the affairs of
Armour & Co. in connection with the
trust. L. A. Newcomb, a subpoena
server for the committee, testified that
he had endeavored to serve subpoena?
on John H. Rockefeller, William Rocke
feller and J. D. Archibald, of the Stand
ard Oil company, without success. He
had reason to believe that the statement
that the former was out of town was un
true. The second person was reported
as being in Florida, and the latter has
thus car evaded the serving of the sub
pa'na . -
SET THE WEDDING DATE.
St. Paul Is Anxious Enough.
St. Cloud Journal-Press.
It is not very difficult to predict that
St. Raul and Minneapolis will not be
united— not right away, anyhow. From
this distance it looks as though St. Paul
is more anxious than Minneapolis is
willing.
A Mighty City.
Herman Enterprise.
It is now agreed that St. Paul and
Minneapolis shall enjoy reciprocal rela
tions for the present as cities having
one common interest, looking to a final
municipal consolidation. This virtually
makes one city of about 400,000 souls.
Why Those Bow-Legs.
Glencoe Enterprise.
The Journal's cartoonist represents
Minneapolis as a fat and plump miss,
while St. Paul is represented as an ugly,
bow-legged little kus. As an uninter
ested, impartial outsider, we arise to in
quire, why those bow-legs?
Have Practically Grown Together.
Omaha Republican.
Committees of the chambers of com
merce of St. Paul and Minneapolis have
been appointed to consider the question
of union under one charter. The two
cities have practically grown together,
and there are those who can see no rea
son why they should not be united.
Hard to Tell.
Albert Lea Enterprise.
To a disinterested party the scheme
for the union of St. Paul and Minne
apolis seems to be about the greatest
job ever undertaken in the state unless
it be the one to get Hon. Knute Nelson
to run for governor on the Democratic
ticket. It is quite probable both will
never be realized.
Getting Quite Sisterly.
St. Peter Herald.
St. Paul and Minneapolis are getting
quite sisterly, and there is strong talk
in both cities of uniting under one mu
nicipal government. Should they do so,
and continue to grow for twenty years
as they have grown during the last ten,
Faulopolis would lead as the second
city in the world.
We Have That Many People.
Butte Miner.
The formal "betrothal" of the Twin
Cities of the Northwest took place last
Friday at the chamber of commerce in
St. Paul, when a number of the repre
sentative men of both cities met to
gether and conferred on the propriety of
a corporate union of St. Paul and Min
neapolis. There seems to be consider
able jealousy of Chicago and Duluth at
the bottom of the move, and the desire
to be able to speak of ."our 400,000 popu
lation" has a good deal to do with it.
CURIOUS SUPERSTITIONS.
Drink-Mixers Who Think There
are Some Things Unlucky.
Omaha Republican.
"Superstition among drink-mixers,"
said the bartender, "well, I should say
so. Every man I know has got some
sort of an idea that certain things are
unlucky in his business. Can't account
for their opinions, only they are there
and firmly fixed. An ancient sign of
bad luck is to hoist an umbrella in a
saloon. Perfectly senseless? Of course
it is, but there you are, I can show yo u
half a dozen men in ten minutes who are
sound, sensible men in every way,
but they would consider it a deuced un
lucky thing for a man to open out an
umbrella in their saloon. It used to fill
old John Stanton with terror. Ho
wouldn't stay in the place, but he would
offer up a few remarks in behalf of the
man who did the trick and then he
would travel for the door. Never could
get out of him why it was unlucky—
wouldn't give it away; just said nobody
but a translated son of a gun would do
it, and that it was a terrible hoodo to
wort on a man's Place, Yes sir, and
you let a barkeeper break a glass the
first move he makes on his watch and he
will take and smash two more. Knows
there's three bound to be broken so he
caves them in and has it over with. Some
don't break the other two and then they
are miserable all day, because some
thing is going to happen. I have seen
a dealer turn his box upside down be
cause a woman came into the faro
room when the game was on, and noth
ing would induce him to deal again
that day. It was dead unlucky. In
our business some days are unlucky for
opening out a new house, and some are
not. 1 wouldn't open on a Friday, not
for diamonds, nor Saturday either, -and
I ain't particularly stuck on Monday.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are
solid lucky days for opening a new
place. Well, of course, there's non
sense in the whole scheme, but you will
find plenty of the boys who have set
tled down on some peculiar crank or
other.
m
PLAYING BILLIARDS.
Bird's Acquaintance With the
First Masse Shot Billiardist.
Christian Bird, the veteran billiard
player of Philadelphia, talking with
"Gossip," of the Philadelphia News
about the changes in billiard playing
since 1830, indulges in the following
reminiscence:
"The masse shot and the change in
the size of the tables came simultane
ously with the beginning of the war.
A Frenchman named Berger arrived
at New Orleans just before it broke
out. and brought with him what was
then a very small table, four and a
half by nine feet. When the war be
gan he came North, and I was intro
duced to him in New York
by Phelan, who suggested that
he would be a good card in
this city. He was willing to come,
and in 18G2 Berger gave a two weeks',
exhibition at my rooms, in the third
story of the building, 600 Chestnut |
street. He would use his own table and
played the three-ball game, the balls
measuring two inches instead of our
two and three-eighths inch ones. He
was the first man seen to make the
masse shot in America and his skill
was wonderful. The players in this
country had no conception of the
wonderful plays it allowed, and the
town fairly went wild over him. Berger
was not a tall man, but he was enor
mously stout, weighing nearly 300
pounds, and the masse was exactly
suited to his build. His influence soon
made itself felt, and masse shots and
smaller tables quickly became univer
sally known. The masse is very diffi
cult, only a good player should at
tempt it. Edward McLaughlin can
make many of the plays which Berger
made, but I have never seen the French
man equaled. He would chalk a line
on the table and would send the ball up
to it, then it would stop, reverse its
movement and come all the way back
to him, as children throw a hoop "before
them and make it return. Ah, he was
a great player."
*•*
THEY DO RESENT IT.
The New York Times Voices the
Appeal of the Northwest.
Referring to the editorial from the
Svenska Folkets Tidning, of Minne
apolis, asking for a general reduction of
duties and the placing of staples upon
the free list, the New York Times com
ments:
"This is a temperate and sober ap
peal, but it is a very earnest one, and
the Republican party cannot afford to
ignore it. Nor can the sentiment be
dallied with by means of any of the ab
surd devices that alone have so far been
suggested by Republican leaders. No
lopping off of the internal revenue, no
squandering of the surplus, not even
the reduction or repeal of the sugar
duties alone, would satisfy the de
mand. It is inspired by "that most
enduring and effective of po
litical motives, a sense of injustice
in the law affecting directly personal
and class interests. The appeal for
tariff reform in Minnesota touches the
chord that sounded in the corn-law agi
tation in England. Never before in the
"United States has this feeling been so
strongly aroused on the subject of the
tariff. It has been plain for a long time
to careful observers that when this feel
ing should be awakened it would be
the beginning of the end of the mon
strous injustice of the so-called protect
ive tariff. Such a feeling cannot be
stilled by sneers at college professors
or by insinuations as to British gold, or
even by arguments as to protection to
American labor. The farmers of the
Northwest do not yet see that the tariff
affords no such protection. They still
believe that it does not and they resent
it. They object to being taxed as con
sumers for that purpose, and ask that
other workingmen shall not be "pro
tected" at their expense. This is the
dangerous clement in the situation.
What can the Republican party do to
avoid it?
A elf-Made Man.
Ilelena Independent.
Mr. Northrop, the St. Paul orator and
boomer, has come and gone, and the
places here which have known him will
know him no more until next summer,
when he will show up in Helena to
spend the season. His departure has
cast a gloom over the community. He
is one of the kind of men seldom met
with. He twines one's heart about
him at long range, and tells stories
that have given him the honorable
sobriquet of "The Modern Mun
chausen." He began life in Milwaukee
as newspaper reporter and is now classed
as a real estate baron. He has valuable
tips on some rich prospects, and gives
it out, on the quiet, that he will get to
the front next summer in a way that
will astonish the old-time Montanians.

It Draws Attention.
Pittsburg Post.
A big paper trust is in course of for
mation. The Northwestern Paper Man
ufacturers' association considered a
plan to sell the entire product turned
out by their mills to an association of
Eastern paper dealers and capitalists.
There are seventy-two paper mills
in the Northwest, of which forty
two are members of the asso
ciation and produce upwards of
two-thirds of the annual output. The
value last year was about $3,000,000. It
was determined to accept the proposal,
and the matter was referred to a com
mittee to draw up the papers. The sug
gestion of a trust draws attention to the
tariff duties on the trust's products.
The duty on paper ranges from 25 to 30
per cent and the imports are light.
The Trust Must Go.
Millions can be lopped off from our
menacing surplus, millions saved to the
farmer, laborer and the middle class,
many a trust can be made impossible
by reducing the tariff in selected cases,
nearly or quite to the point of inducing
foreign competition, without touching
the protective system, without impairing
vested rights, or as the Pennsylvanians
say, "running the country." The pro
tective system does not yet need de
fense; the trust is squarely on the de
fensive and so far as tariff reduction
can do it, the trust must go. The
legal means for abolishing the trusts
which exist, without reference to the
tariff are not yet apparent, but as
justice endures they will be found.

At present in Philadelphia the oil

being followed in their routes by Stand

HAVING A PLEASANT TIME.
The Presidential Party Is Having Plenty
of Pleasure.
THEY ARE STILL IN FLORIDA.
People Come Hundreds of Miles to Sef
the Pleasure Seekers—Per
sonal Mention.
Pai.atka, Fla., Feb. 24.— When the
president and party arrived at Palatini
from St. Augustine last night they
crossed the St. Johns river, which
twinkled with the floating lights and
looked enchanting in the moonlight,
and lauded amid shrieking .steam
whistles and cheers from a great crowd
of people. After the informal recep
tion, which was held on the
Steps of the special train,
and several hundred persons hail
•shaken hands with the president and
Mrs. Cleveland, the party started for
Titusville, on the Jacksonville, Tampa
& Key West railroad. The run was
made slowly to enable the party to rest.
The weather this morning was beauti
ful as the party took the steamer at
Titusville for a sail on the Indian river
to Rockledge, where they will make a
brief stay and then start on their return
trip, reaching Sanford this afternoon
and Jacksonville to-night.
AT EOCKLEDGE.
Special to the Globe.
Roc___D__, Fla., Feb. 21.— The
president and party arrived here by
special steamer at 11 o'clock this morn
ing. After partaking of lunch Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland walked half a mile
among the beautiful palms and groves,
and on returning was photographed on
the front steps of the hotel "Indian
River." The building was beautifully
decorated with a large variety of tropical
plants, fruits and flowers artistically ar
ranged. At Ip. m. a magnificent lunch
was spread under the giant live oaks
on the banks of the broad river. After
a formal reception had been tendered
the party, the guests were introduced
by J. M. Lee, of the hotel. A large
number of people living on the river,
came hundreds of miles to see the pres
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, and the latter
was greatly amused at some of the
strange craft that landed at the dock.
A huge channel bass was presented to
the president, and he made the donor
happy by saying:
"I don't believe I could pull in that
fellow, myself."
The party, who are all in the most
genial spirits, and speak highly of their
delightful trip so far, left here at 2:45
p. m. for Sanford.

the people are decorating their houses
lavishly.
Visited the Exposition.
Jacksonville, Fla.. Feb. 24.—
presidential *" party spent two hour- at
Sanford in visiting the South Florida
expositiou, the magnificent spectacle of
sub-tropical fruits. About 5 o'clock the
party went by rail to the winter park,
where supper was served and thence
their faces were turned north on
their home ward trip. They are expected
to reach Jacksonville about midnight,
where they will stop only long enough
to change engines. People assembled
in crowds everywhere along the route
of travel to-day, and manifested great
enthusiasm. The senatorial party, which
lett Washington a few minutes ahead
of the president, spent the day sight
seeing in St. Augustine, and were en
tertained at dinner at the Ponce de
Leon hotel by a reception committee of
citizens. They will return to Jackson
ville on the early morning train, and
leave at once for Washington.
m
ORIGIN* OF A NAME.
Why a "Well-Known. Mineral Water
is Called Appolliuaris..
Of the many thousands who daily
drink the sparkling Appolliuaris water,
I wonder how many stop to think of the
origin of its name and the place from
which it is exported, writes Lizzie
Bloomstein in the Nashville American.
It bubbles forth from a spring near the
little village of Remagan, not far from
Bonn, on a bank of the river Rhine.
That beautiful river, flowing through
the western part of Germany, like a
broad band of liquid turquoise, flanked
on either side by lofty cliffs and hills,
contains scarcely a spot that is not
dedicated to some romantic legend, and
in one of these lies the origin ot the
name.
Just below Remagen ascends ab
ruptly the ApoUinaris-berg, a rock of
gray slate. Its summit is crowned by
an elegant ("othic, four-towered church
(the ApoUinaris-kirche>. designed by
Zevirner, the architect of the magnifi
cent, world-renowned cathedral at Co
logne, and erected at the expense of
Count Fuerstenberg Stammheim in
1888. It was formerly occupied by an
ancient and much-frequented pilgrim
age shrine. In 1104 Frederick Barba
rossa, emperor of Germany; who was to
accompany Richard; the L'ionhearted.ou
his crusade, but was drowned before
he reached his destination, is said
to have presented the bead of
the highly-revered St. Appolinaris,
bishop of Ravenna; to the archbishop
of Cologne. The latter was in the act
of carrying it thither, together with
the relics of the Magi, when, by sonic
miraculous power, the vessel stopped in
the middle of the river and refused to
go any further until the head of tho
holy father was deposited in the chapel
just erected there. It now lies in the
crypt of the new cathedral, and is visi
ble from the boats as they pass up and
down the river. From the proximity of
the spring to the church with its holy
relics the waters were called Appolin
aris.
The spring belongs to the Kreutzbprg
family, and is rented by an English
company, who has made its name fa
mous throughout the world. Fifty
thousand bottles are filled daily, and
700,000 are sent to America * every
month.
