Mr. Depew has learned the danger lying in letter writing from the experience of a Maine friend. m The Chicago Times evidently pos sesses a very clear understanding of the tariff situation in Minnesota. Witness the following: At the big Prohibition meeting in this city last Saturday night Walter Mills said tba"t the Minnesota Republicans are for low tariff, while all the Pennsylvania Republicans are for high tariff, and that, therefore, tariff is not an issue. This conclusion will hardly Stand the test of logical analysis. It is be cause the people who work aiid produce be lieve one thing while the capitalists and mid dlemen, who get the profit, believe another that ther. is an issue. It will not do to say the low tariff men of Minnesota are Repub. Leans simply because they once were such They will go with the party that gives the best promise of tariff reform, and that most certainly is not the Republican party. It may be added that they ' have dis covered the Democratic party to he the right party, and are coming over in very ■satisfactory numbers already. **» CHICAGO SIDE-TRACKED. In a careful review and discussion of the rate war being waged by one North western railroad the New York Times has come to the conclusion that the time has come In the history of transconti nental traffic when Chicago is to be side-tracked. The growing importance of the Twin Cities as a railway center, in connection with Duluth as their lake port, is what is cooking Chicago's coose, according to the Times' argument. The Times reasons in this way: "It is only a trine further from Duluth to where Lake Superior empties into Lake Huron than from Chicago to where Lake Michigan mingles its waters with Lake Superior's on their descent to saltwater. Fut in another *,way, after a cargo has traveled hundreds of miles from Chicago to the straits of Mackinaw, it is no fur ther toward Europe and foreign mar kets than as though it had traversed only a trifle longer distance from Duluth to the Sault Ste. Marie, and that is true although Duluth lies hundreds of miles west of Chicago and nearer the prairie farms. It costs as much to take a loaded boat northward as eastward, but the distance northward from Chicago is a loss of tinie»and cost of carriage, while the distance eastward from Duluth is so much to tin- good on the total journey. In brief, Duluth's strategical position makes it practically as near New York and Liverpool as Chicago." :. . " Thus completing the geography of the situation, the Times turns its attention to. a comparison of the railway routes centering at the Twin Cities with those centering at Chicago. The average rail haul to Lake Michigan by the Chi cago lines is 400 miles. The average rail haul to Lake Superior by the St. Paul lines is 150 miles, making the odds in favor of the Twin Cities and Lake Superior in the proportion of 400 to 150. The Times insists that Chicago and its great railways may as well face the truth first as last— that Chicago is handi capped by nature and cannot hope for. an even contest with the Twin Cities for the lake trade. THE OFFICEHOLDERS. The federal officeholders have it within their power to contribute ma terially to Democratic success this year. Not in the usual way, and as was the rule under Republican regime, by pull ing off their coats and working for the ticket during the entire campaign. Quite the reverse of that. It is by strictly attending to a performance of , the duties of their offices, just as if no election were on hand, that the office holders can contribute most to Demo cratic success this year. When the Cleveland administra tion came into power it was with the distinct promise that civil service re form should be a leading feature of the administration. And it has been. Mr. Cleveland's election was due to the independent voters who supported him because they preferred him to Blame, the spoilsman. It was understood in advance that Blame's election would result in the suppression of all effort in the direction of civil service reform. Mr. Cleveland's record as mayor of Buffalo and governor of New York seemed to be a guarantee that he would be an honest champion of reform in the civil service. The open and active hostility of the spoilsmen in his own party confirmed this opinion in the minds of the independent voters, and as a result they stuck to him and elected him. During the nearly four years of his administration the presi dent has exhibited so many evidences of his sincerity as a civil service re former that the independent voters again stand ready to support him, provided nothing occurs during the progress of the campaign to disturb their confidence in him. Thus it is, as above stated, the federal officeholders have it within their power to materially promote Democratic suc cess or to insure defeat, the result de pending largely upon their conduct dur ing the campaign. Being the appointees of the president, the officeholders are virtually a part of the administration, and their actions will be scrutinized as closely as the movements of the presi dent himself. It behooves each and every one of them to act discreetly, for a false step or unbecoming conduct on the part of one would be charged up against the whole administration. Tiie fact that a man is an officeholder does not deprive him of political privileges that are the legitimate right of all American citizens. But: it does disqualify him for active partisan work. The two main principles of civil service" reform are, first, that promotion should proceed upon the basis of merit and not as a reward for party service; and, secondly, that the sole duty of an office holder is to earn his salary by sticking strictly to the business ot his office. It makes no difference whether this theory is popular or not, or whether it com mends itself or does not commend itself to the judgment of the individual office holder. The fact remains that the Cleveland administration is pledged to it, and every member of that adminis tration is in honor bound to give it a strict enforcement. Mr. Cleveland was elected before because he was be lieved to be honestly in favor of civil service reform, and if he is elected again it will be for the same reason. ***** MR. SCHEFFER'S POSITION. Mr. Hodgson, who is a mogul in the Farmers' alliance, avails himself of the Globe's courtesy this morning to square his friend and candidate, Mr. Scheffer, on the tariff question. It has been Mr. Scheffer's misfortune, as it is the misfortune of all candidates, to be misunderstood in his remarks, and the idea has gone abroad that he is try ing to get away from the platform on which he was nominated. Mr. Schef fkb wants it understood that he is not a deserter, nor is he ashamed of his principles. He has nailed his colors to the mast, and intends to stand by them. While we admire Mr. Scheffeij's pluck, considering that he is a candi date for a Republican nomination, we do deplore his lack of discre tion. Albert Soiikkfkp. is a good man, an awfully good man— too good a man, we fear, ever to be nomi nated by a Republican convention— but unless, as Mr. Hodgson asserts, his Republican backing is nerved up to a fighting point, the railroads and wheat rings are going to be an over-match for him. The man whom the farmers want is not usually the man whom the ma chine bosses nominate. Still, if Mr. Scheffer's followers get fighting mad and maintain a solid column in the Re publican convention, it is possible they may win the day. THE SURPLUS AGAIN. As common-sense people, endowed with intelligence which enables them to discriminate between right and wrong more clearly than many of their fellows, the people of the Northwest should keep clearly in mind one issue, indeed, the predominating issue, involved in the campaign now upon us. They know that there are piled up in the national treasury ?125,000,000. They know that this vast accumulation is in . creasing at the rate of ?00,000,000 a year. They know that this is not only unbusi nesslike, but absolutely dangerous; that it is decreasing the money of the coun try to an alarming degree, and is put ting forward the temptation of reckless extravagance. They know that it ought to be stopped. They should remember that there is but one way that it can be stopped— through the Democratic party. The Republicans absolutely refuse to aid in any manner to stop the accumulation of this surplus. On the other hand, they want the accumulation, the result of unnecessary taxation, to go right on. The resulting surplus they propose to get rid of by various schemes of reck less and extravagant expenditure. The Democrats, however, believe that the national expenditures should be re duced wherever possible, and that the people should have the benefit of this economy by keeping the surplus in their pockets. !• This is the issue. Keep it clearly- in mind. As a fair-minded, intelligent person, not blinded by partisan preju dice, can you do otherwise than favor the Democratic policy? HURRY IT UP. The tariff debate in congress has dragged its weary length along to an ex ceedingly tiresome degree, and the end is not . yet. The speeches seem to be practically inexhaustible. It makes no difference that the champions on either side have had their say% have advanced all the arguments pro and con that can be found to pertain to the subject; every small - fry. congressman in : the j boose wants to put himself on record in the matter for self-laudatory purposes among his constituents. Notwithstanding the fact that the speeches are for the most part dull and uninteresting and advance nothing at all that is likely to influence the decis THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TUESDAY MOKNING, JUNE 12, 1888. ion of the question one way or another, the country must endure the affliction, and valuable time is expended to no purpose. Therefore the effort which certain Democrats are making to bring the debate to an end deserves to be crowned with speedy success. If - any member, does not possess a . clear com prehension of the tariff question and the relation to it of the Mills' bill by this time, he never will. Had congress exhibited even ordinary energy and dili gence, the Mills bill might have been brought to a definite conclusion long ago. As it is, the session is now near ing its end and but little has been ac complished. W=H There is certainly need of the pruning off of useless discussion during the re mainder of the session, and the sooner it is begun the better. ■ — - **— ■ THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. The chamber of commerce yesterday morning adopted the report of its com mittee to which the matter of a public library was referred. Although the ma jority in favor of the report was not so great as it should have been, it was large enough to show conclusively the sentiment of a representative body of St. Paul business men in a matter of ex ceeding public importance. The report adopted was, in brief, that the legislature empower the city to issue bonds to the extent of 8350,000, §ioo,ooo to be devoted to the purchase of a site, the rest for tlie building and equipping of the library. Though there is no doubt but that a very creditable library could be provided for a much smaller sum, yet judged by the liber ality of other cities in similar matters, the amount contemplated is not exorbi tant. Men should be sent to the next legislature from Ramsey county who are committed to the library project, and who can be relied upon to carry out the will of the people in the matter. For the public library belongs peculiarly to the people. It is their university. They have from time to time given evi dence of the favor with which they re gard the plan, and as they must pay the cost, that evidence should be conclusive. . Before another year rolls around St. Paul should have a public library which will be a credit to the city and which will adequately meet the wants of the city's people. — M**^»- SHE SMUGGLED THEM IN. A Fashionable Dressmaker in Gotham Gobbled by Magone. New York, June 11.— The customs agents and Collector Magone are exer cised over an alleged discovery of smug gling on an extensive scale by Mrs. Rose Ludvigh, a fashionable dress maker of Fourteenth street. She makes up gowns for actresses and many people of note, and her patrons fre quently have Paris-made costumes or dered through her. Last year her brother, Maurice Desseldorf, who is in business in Paris, visited her here, and the two returned to Europe in the fall— the dressmaker with large orders from customers for Worth costumes. While at the French capital she perfected a clever scheme for evad ing the customs duty on dresses, most of which were seized to-day by the col lector's agents. When the costumes were prepared Miss Ludvigh went to Miss Bessie Montour, of this city, who was studying elocution in London, and induced her to return home as an actress with the Worth costumes as her wardrobe, and acting herself as Miss Montour's maid, In that way the dresses were passed duty free on the usual declaration. Many of the gowns are now being worn their owners being innocent of the man ner of their importation and they have not and it is likely will not be seized. Miss Montour has returned to London to pursue her studies. The entire im portation was valued at $10,000. ■***» ' DESPERADOES RUN DOWN. The Tramps Who Attempted Train Robbery Are Now Surrounded by Police. Special to the Globe. Cincinnati, 0., June 11.— At mid night Chief Gill received a dispatch from Lieut. Schmidt, at Delhi, saying that the "Big Four" desperadoes had been located in an empty house on the Muddy creek, about a mile from the train robbery. Three men are in the house nursing the fourth one. the latter having been injured by being thrown from the train. A patrol wagon and twelve po licemen left immediately for the place, and under the direction of Chief Gill have surrounded the house and an attempt will be made to capture the desperadoes. It is more than probable that they will not be taken without a fight, as the robbers are heavily . armed. Two more arrests were made this evening in connection with the robbery. They were brought to this city and locked up. They registered as William Schmidt, of Columbus. 0., and William Coates, of Richmond, Ind. They did not give good accounts of themselves and are being held. ■ — «*** — - CARNEGIE WILL CUT LOOSE. After This Month His Bis Mills Will Be Run Independently of Labor Organizations. Pittsburg, June 11.— Amalga mated association convention will com plete the new scale of wages to-morrow, in order to present it to the manufact urers on Wednesday. This will give them time to consider it and be pre pared to talk intelligently on the sub ject at the conference, which will be held on Thursday afternoon. The plate and tank mill scale will be completed to-day, when the balance of the scale will be taken up, including the nailers' scale. This was left out by the nianu facturerer9 in their proposition to the workers. The Amalgamated association will insist on the. nailers scale being in serted, and will also place the roll turner's schedule of wages before the manufacturers once more. It is stated on reliable authority that Carnegie. Phipps & Co. have decided to cut loose from the Manufacturers' Protective association and Amalga mated association and run independent. The break will be made on July 1, when wage scales will be adopted for the Union Iron mills at Twenty-ninth street, the Thirty-third street mill and the large steel plant at Homestead. These works have heretofore been con trolled by the Amalgamated associa tion, and the wages based on the manu facturers' bar iron card. It is proposed, and the proposition will be carried out, to change the base of the scale from bar iron to the prices on structural material. If the Carnegie firm insists on the change of base, it may cause a rupture in the workers organization, but the re sult cannot be predicted at present. ■•*■_ SHERIDAN IS IMPROVING.

Canada's New Governor-General, i "Who Is Rather Democratic. j Astonishes the Natives. | Ottawa, June 11.— Lord Stanley, the governor-general, has already become th? subject of talk by his democratic actions. He was on Parliament hill this afternoon long before the guard of honor and employed his waiting time in walking up and down the boulevard chatting with Sir A. Caron, Sir Fred Middleton and his aide-de-camp. After the guard had arrived Lord Stan ley did something which no other governor . before him has ever done. He inspected the guard; He then entered the senate chamber, where the ceremony of swearing him in was gone through. Replying to the civic address. Lord Stanley expressed the thanks of himself and his family for the cordial welcome extended to him by the citizens of Ottawa. He was glad to see that citizens of Ottawa were animated with loyalty to her majesty, whom he characterized as becoming everyday more warmly enshrined in the hearts of the people after a reign of fifty years. He understood the difficulty he wouid have in filling the position which had been occupied by a long list of illustrious predecessors, none of whom was more distinguished than ex-Gov ernor-Geueral Lansdowne. Though only in the country a few hours, he felt at home, having already experienced the hospitality and cordiality which had made the name of Canadians proverbial. Continuing, the governor-general ex pressed the hope that his short ex perience while secretary of state for the colonies, giving him as it did a knowl edge of colonial affairs, would prove fruitful during his stay in the great do minion. AN UNPARDONABLE OFFENSE. The Sultan of Zanzibar Neglected to Reply to the Letter of Italy's King. Eome, June 11,— In the chamber of deputies to-day the government made a statement of the differences between Italy and Zanzibar. The late sultan, it appears, ceded territory to the Italian Commercial company, but the cession was subsequently partly revoked. The present sultan, on accession to the throne, wrote to King Humbert, who replied to the communication. The sul tan, upon receipt of King Humbert's re ply, neglected the customary forms, which was intolerable. The consul was compelled to haul down the flag and demand satisfaction. The consul recommends that the satisfaction take the form of a cession of territory to Italy. He adds that the presence in Zanzibar of representatives of powers friendly to Italy is a greater reason why she should obtain the satisfaction due her. After Italy shall have been satis fied, she will be able to examine other matters in dispute between the two countries.notably the question in regard to the territory which was ceded by the late sultan. ; 5 Steiner Has the Stuff. :< .

For Tampering With Virtue a Farm Hand Loses His Life. Indignant Hoosiers Take a Ravisher From Jail anil Hang Him. A Brutal Physician Beats His Wife Unmercifully and Attempts Murder. Pittsburg, Pa., June 11.— atro cious outrage is reported from Fair Chance, about miles from Unibntown. . Samuel Humbert, an old resident of Fair Chance, was assaulted by masked men at his residence at midnight Satur day and subjected to great tortures to make him disclose where his money was secreted. At that hour Humbert, who lives alone, was aroused by a knock at his door. In response to his inquiries as to who was there the men outside asked for a drink of water. When the old man opened the door to comply with their request he was seized and gagged. Two ruffians then searched the house, but failed to find anything of value, whereupon they commanded their cap tive to surrender his money and valua bles. He insisted that he had no money. The two fiends then built a fire in the grate, and, drawing the old man up ROASTED HIS FEET until they were blistered and shock ingly burned. Still the old man pro tested that he had no money and im plored them to release him. They threatened to set the house on fire if he did not confess. After turning every thing in the house upside down and rip ping up the carpets in their search for money, they bound the old man hand and foot and departed. Humbert, after a desperate struggle freed himself and gave the alarm. His neighbors quickly gathered and organized a search party to hunt the rascals down. The fugi tives were tracked a considerable dis tance, and have, it is said, been located. The community is greatiy excited over the outrage and if the perpetrators are found, the chances are that they will be treated to a dose of Western justice. MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD. A Notorious Sporting Man Kills His Farm Hand in Bed. Indianapolis, lnd., June 11.— A cold-blooded murder was committed last night at the little village of Worths ville, fifteen miles south of this city. Benjamin Law, Sr., a well-known and notorious sporting character, deliber ately shot and instantly killed his farm hand, Aaron H. Lamar, shooting him in the side with a shot gun while he lay on his cot. The murdered man was about 35 years of age, and came to Mr. Law last fall as a tramp, for whom he had been working constantly since. Law claims that Lamar was on intimate terms with his wife. Law surrendered to the authorities. SHOULD BE STRUNG UP. A Brutal Physician Beats His Wife and Then Attempts Her Life. Gainesville, Tex., June 11. At sun set, near here yesterday, Dr. Wiley, a prominent physician, stripped his wife of all her clothes and beat her unmer cifully. She escaped from him and ran through the streets in an entirely nude condition. The doctor pursued her, firing at her from his revolver, but failed to hit her. She sought refuge in a neighbor's house, where the doctor, on attempting to enter, was disarmed and handed over to officers. He was taken to Montague jail to prevent lynch ing by the infuriated citizens. Mrs. Wiley, who is a most estimable lady, will die from the effects of her beating and kicks. _^ Prompted by Jealousy. Portland, Ore., July 11.— A fearful double tragedy occurred here to-day. Peter Shannon, aged sixty, shot and in stantly killed his wife aged fifty-five, then shot and killed himself.

IT WAS A DELUGE. The Rain Storm Swept Every thing Before It in Northern Michigan. Marquette, Mich., June 11.—Re ferring to the great rain storm of Satur day and Saturday night, reports come in from different parts of the peninsula, all giving accounts of the damage. The storm appears to have been heavier at or near Lake Linden than elsewhere, although all the country for a hundred miles each way was visited. The storm burst like a waterspout. At Calumet the Methodist church was struck by lightning and a large quan tity of water poured into a great Calu met & Hecla mine before the miners could be protected. At Portage Entry the quarries are stopped, being filled with water. Reports from Lake Linden estimate the damage at 550,000. Nearly every basement in this city is flooded and an immense amount of merchandise is damaged. No trains can enter the town on the Hancock & Calumet rail road on account of washouts. All along the line of the Duluth.South Shore & Atlantic there were heavy rains, and several washouts are re ported. At a point between Robinson and Houghton passengers and baggage were transferred by tug. While there are many breaks in the track and nearly every peninsula railroad is more or less damaged, there has been no accident of any kind, and the trains will be moving on time again in a day or two. While there is no means of approxi mating the damage, it will reach way up in the thousands. The people of Norway, Mich., have special reason to be thankful for the storm, however, as but for its visitation the fire of Satur day would not have left a building standing. As it was forty-seven build ings were destroyed. Aside from the loss by fire, thousands of dollars' worth of household goods, merchandise and the like were ruined by the storm. The people living in the track of the fire, seeing certain destruction before them, hastily threw their possessions out doors in places of safely, where they themselves were forced to remain during the night. It was sev eral hours before all could find shelter, and in some instances women and children were out in the pitiless storm a long time. There are but two stores left in the city, and the town is pro visioned for no time whatever. The people of Iron Mountain have sent sufficient food to sustain them for the present, however, and there is no serious sufferiug. -***•* THE COMPACT WITH CANADA. Senator Gray Advocates Ratifica tion of the Fisheries Treaty. Special to the Globe. WAsnixGTOX, June 11.— The greater part of the day was taken up in the sen ate to-day by the speech of Senator Gray in favor of the ratification of the fisheries treaty. Mr. Gray spoke in favor of its ratifi cation. The -~ j:".-: ,• HAPPIXESS AXD nOXOR of the country, he said, were involved in the discussion. It could not be made .to turn on the selfish wishes or pecu niary advantages of a small number of capitalists. Every treaty came before the Semite with an enormous weight of presumption in its favor, and it would be a dark day in the history of the country when senators could denounce a treaty as cowardly and lmmilitating. He said that all the rights of American fisher men in regard to Canadian fisheries de pended on the terms of the treaty of 1818. It might suit the pui pose of the senator from Maine to denounce now the negotiators of that treaty. He traced the history of the fishery ques tion at length, and stated that the pend ing treaty was a practical, sensible and statesmanlike way of dealing with the question. In concluding he said the secretary and the negotiators of the treaty were on the American side of the question. Those who defended it in the senate were on the American side. The president was on the American side. And the American people would recognize the courage and self sacrificing devotion to their high est interests with which that brave, honest, straightforward and sagacious man had sought to serve them. . If,in obedience to a party caucus which sat with closed doors and kept veiled in secrecy the real motives of op position, the treaty should be defeated by a bare majority, an appeal would be made to the sober judgment of 00,000,000 people; and the brave and honest fish ermen themselves, whose rights were secured by this treaty, would be ap pealed to. When Mr. Gray finished Mr. Hoar obtained the floor, but, on mo tion of Mr. Sherman, further considera tion of the treaty was postponed until Monday, June 25, and the senate at 5:25 p. m. adjourned. a . * . ;. *•*■*» ALL DID WELL.

KAN SANS ARE IN ARMS. A Railway Bond Election Promises to Develop Shooting to Kill. • Topeka, Kan., June 11.— telegram was received to-day by Gov. Martin from Brig. Gen. Murray informing him of the alarming state of affairs that ex ists in Stevens county, on the frontier, caused by a railway- bond election.

The tel egram gives details of a shooting which occurred in Hugoton. R. L. Jones, the deputy sheriff, who is a Woodsdale man, the constable of Woodsdale township, and another of ficer rode into Hugoton and attempted to assassinate Sam Robinson and J. B. Chamberlain, chairman of the boaidof county commissioners. They pretended to have warrants for the ar rest of the parties, but instead of serv ing the warrants by the usual process,' they drew their revol vers and opened fire upon the marshal and the chairman of the board. The fire was returned, aud the attacking party retreated. One man was seriously wounded. Both towns are now armed to the teeth, and blood shed may follow. •****. - Have They Pound Coal?

Managers Will Fight the lowa Commis sioners ' New Schedule of Rates. MR. MANVEL WILL RESIGN. Manitoba's Government Determined to Build the Link Line— Duluth & Iron Range Annual. Special to the Globe. Dcs Moines, 10., June Repre sentatives of some twenty railways do ing business in lowa will meet the board of state railway commissioners here to-morrow to protest against the final adoption of the tariff schedule pre- Eared under the new law. Judge Hub bard, solicitor of the Chicago & North western railway, stated to-night that the adoption of the schedule would drive all the lowa roads into bankruptcy within a year, except three or four trunk lines doing business in other states. The tariff, he said, is 50 per cent lower than the Illinois commissioners' tariff, and GO per cent below the Nebraska tariff. "I cannot imagine what the commissioners mean," he continued. -'We cannot peacefully submit to the confiscation of our property, and yet if we resist the provisions of the tariff the penalties in curred are simply enormous, but we will be forced to fight the matter in courts as our only protection even though we incur these penalties and the antagonism of the people." MAY GO TO THE "Q. M Rumor Says That Road Will Se cure Manager Allen Manvel. Dame Rumor is again busy with the name of Supt. Manvel, of the Manitoba road, and it is asserted that despite de nials the resignation of Mr. Manvel is in the hands of President Hill, who has de layed taking any action thus-far. When it was first given out that Mr. Manvel intended to sever his connec tion with the Manitoba, it was under stood that the position of vice president and general manager of the Union Pa cific road was held under advisement by him, and that he was certain to be the successor of Thomas Potter. Now, how ever, another Story is afloat to the effect that it is not the Union Pacific that is the goal of Mr. Manvel's ambition, but that he is to be made general manager of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, relieving Manager Stone. Stockholders of the latter road, it is said, have been making matters pretty warm for President Perkins on account of the losses sustained by the recent strike, and there is a disposition shown to shift the responsibility upon the shoulders of Mr. Stone, and it* is un derstood that the dispute will culminate in his withdrawal. One thing is certain, however, and that is that Manager Man vel's days with the Manitoba are num bered, and his resignation is entirely voluntary and with a view to improving his condition in a financial sense. The absence of President Hill has been the only obstacle in the way of an accept ance af Mr. Manvel's resignation, but probably in the course of a week or so the agony will be ended. As a manager Mr. Manvel has estab lished a deservedly high reputation, and not a detail escapes his watchful eye by which the comfort of the travelling pub lic can be enhanced, so that bis services are very much desired by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy people.
