Tho Democrats in Ohio are going ahead making their nominations for congress nnder the apportionment of the late legislature. At one of these conventions, held at the home of Sena torßsiCE and presumed to be inspired by him, resolutions were adopted de nouncing the McComas bill, and mak ing up an issue, apparently, with the Republican party in congress. The contention is over the provision requir ing members of the next congress to bo chosen from the same districts that the present ones were, in order to undo the work of the Democrats in Ohio and Maryland that is about as partisan as the lay-out made by the Republicans in the prior legislatures. This defiant attitude of the Ohio Democrats is likely to stimulate the Republicans In congress -to push the bill through. It will make no difference practically that it is arbitrary and unprecedented, and a violation of wholesome principles' All branches of the government, includ ing the highest court, are in their hands, and they are not slow to utilize their advantages. Should congress pass the bill, the Ohio Democrats will only hurt their own heads In trying to butt their way through it. The situation then would be that in twenty of the twenty-one districts the new ones would differ from the old- The Demo crats would run candidates in the new and the Republicans in the old dis tricts. The Democrats would be elected in their districts and the Republicans in theirs, and either all the twenty Democrats or the twenty Republicans would be sealed. A Republican would make up the roll of the house, and the twenty Republicans would bo. put on. This would very likely control the con gress and make it Republican. All the Democrats could do would be. to growl and kick and go home. But it is proba bly a bit of bluffing on both sides. SOME OF THE BRIDGES. A new bridge or two across the Mis fsslppijdoesnot attract much attention in tiiis region. They are so numerous that one hardly notices additions. St. Louis opened up its second one the other day, and had the governors and notables of several states to participate in the festivities. It is not a structure re markable for length, being but 2,422 feet. It is barely high enough for steam boats to go under, and the three spans aro some 520 feet each. It cost but about half of the other bridge there, or from three to four million dollars. It is the second bridge over the Mississippi after its absorption of the Missouri. The first was opened sixteen years ago In July, and was a great: engineering triumph. . It fell into the hands of Jay 'Gould some years ago, and its exac tions were regarded as ■oppressive, so that the railroads and merchants com bined to build a new one. Some of the greatest exhibitions of en gineering science of the age are in bridges. The Brooklyn bridge is in height and length and conspicuity the most notable in the United States, al though not the longest or highest. That bne oyer the creek near Bradford, Pa., Is the highest, bong 801 feet above the water. A wooden bridge over the lake ;• near New Orleans is twenty-one miles in length. The greatest truss bridge is across the Ft if of 'fay, Scotland, 18,012 ft- 1 J'-i-'. China has a stone bridge si _, miles long, with 300 arches. The one to be built over the Hudson at New York makes one dizzy to think of. It will be the grandest structure of the kind in the world. Its length: is to be 6.500 feet and it will have one span 2.800 feet in the dear. Its floor will be 135 feet above high tide, and lis towers 69J above their bottom. Each of the an chorages will contain one-half more masonry than . the largest Egyptian pyramid. Its cables will bo four feet in diameter. But when a metal with the properties of aluminium is cheap enough for use, there will be achieve ments in bridges aud other structures not now dreamed of. THE HOME DEBATES. The Republicans would like to put a padlock on Mr. Cleveland's; mouth, fast to keep him from talking tariff re form; for every time ho speaks on that subject he adds fresh force and vigor to sentiments that have already found a permanent lodging place in the hearts of the American people. Ills latest ut terances, contained in his letter to the Farmers' alliance, are perhaps the most forcible of all. In his usually sententious way of stating unvarnished truths, Mr. Cleveland brings the question of tariff reform directly home to the farm ers. It is the plain talk of an honest man to a class who are seeking light ou a matter which has a vital bearing on all their peculiar industry, and it is a letter which should be placed in the hands of every farmer in the land. There is every indication that the great body of the people are doing more thinking for themselves ou the tariff question than formerly. An evidence of this is found in the little attention that is being paid to the debate now in progress in congress. Heretofore a tariff discussion never failed to fill the galleries with eager'listeners.who would hang on as long as the debate lasted. Now there is a marked difference. Newspaper correspondents writing from the national capital comment on the emptiness of the galleries, and on the listless air which prevails around the halls of congress during the present tariff debate. This is readily explained because ot the fact that the masses have takeu the tariff question into their homes, where the discussion is likely to be more effective, and where more satis factory results will be had than in the halls of congress. It is a significant fact that the Farm ers' alliance turned away from the tariff expositions now being given by the statesmen who occupy seats in congress to seek information from a private citi zen who is quietly attending to his law practice in New York. The farmers say in their letter to this private citizen that they rely upon the soundness of. his opinions because they have faith in his honesty and integrity of purpose, which were so heroically illustrated in the last presidential campaign, when he chose defeat rather than to surren der a principle. Thus it is Mr. Cleve land is again forced from his retire ment to become the principal spokes man in behalf of tariff reform. This time, however, he is not forced to for mulate his views iv the shape of state documents, but he is now down among the people, participating in . their fireside discussions and speaking words of wisdom and encourage ment that will bring better re sults than when he was pleading with congress to remove the burthen of taxation from an oppressed people. We do not underestimate the value of his services duriug his incumbency of tho presidential office, yet we do say that Citizen Cleveland is a mightier factor iii the progress of tariff reform than was President Cleveland. Inasmuch as the people are the source of -power, the home debates on the tariff are going to count for more than all the speeches made in congress; and it is in these home debates that Citizen Cleveland now takes the lead. THE CUT RATE WAR. Ofthe many senseless rate wars that have sprung up between the railroad!*, we fail to remember one that had less justification than the one now in prog ress between the Northwestern roads. So far as we arc able to see beneath the surface, the whole cause of the strife is that one line wishes to shorten its dis tance by compelling all competing lines to reduce their rate of speed. The traveling public who pay the bills seem to be left out of consideration alto gether. The old-time method of adjusting in equalities of this character was for the road that had the longest distance be tween two points to shorten its own line and then to equip its roal so as to enable it to make speed with the best of them. It seems to be a sort of a travesty on railway progress that we have reached a period of development where by inaugurating a cut rate war the long line can compel the short lines to dis regard public interests by lengthening the time of travel between terminal points. People who travel nowadays want to go fast. They want to get further and further away from the oxcart method of locomotion. Electrical development has suggested the wings of tho Lightning as about the proper thing for those who wish to go about from place to place ; and the nearer a railroad can fix its schedule to the lightning transit idea the nearer is it keeping pace with the progress of civilization. It is true that people like to travel cheap, but they prefer speed to cheapness, particularly when the cheap rates are to be of only temporary duration, and have been es tablished for a wrong purpose. It' is forward, not backward, wo want to go in our railroad development. PECULIAR PURIFICATION. A prominent Republican politician of this state is quoted by one of the Repub lican organs of this city as favoring an early convention on the ground that it would tend to purify the Republican party in the state. If that is to be the result, then let the convention be held to-morrow morning before breakfast. They can't begin an hour too soon, for if ever a party needed purifying it is the Republican party in Minnesota. But we are disposed to question the statement. A June convention would simply be a gathering together of boo dle beneficiaries, a convention packed with hirelings. And that very fact would necessitate the outpouring of an excessive amouut of boodle in order to elect the nominees of the packed con cern. The way to have pure politics is to have a fair and square deal all around, and to give every man a show for his white alley. HARD ON SOME. In a local discussion of pertinent pub lic topics Monday night, one of the speakers, who would have the i govern ment equalize and adjust things a. good deal better, stated that sewing machines i that are sold at §42 cost only $7, to man ufacture. If this is appioximately true,', it imposes a needless hardship upon the poor, women who earn a meager sub- ■ sistence with them. It is stated that American sewing machines that are re tailed in this country. for $45 are shipped, to London and . sold for $32. . There is evidently a big profit . on the sales in- ' - . n ii in Tl mi mill iii ii I i il THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY 14, 1800. England. One of the leading American manufactories is even said to sell for export to South America ': for ;$5 a machine that the local dealer has to pay ¥•20 for. Nor is this sort of discrlmina- tion confined to sewing machines; It applies to large classes of manufactures, particularly the machinery. and y imple ments used by the farmer. For in stance, a shovel that the home dealer is ; charged; $9.20 per dozen for is sold to the foreign dealer for 57.5 G. This sys- ; tern of fostering special interests comes hard on those who have to pay the bills. -__» GOLD BEN BUTTERWOKTH. Mr. Butteis worth broke loose from the party fold long enough yesterday to stamp the feathers out of the McKinley bill. The courageous Cincinnati con gressman enjoys an enviable distinc tion; for, while there are doubtless many of his party associates who think just as he talked yesterday, they all lack the moral courage to give expres sion to their convictions. It would be a good thing for tho Republican . party if it had more Butter worths in its ranks; and it would be particularly fort unate for this state, just at this time, if Ben Butterwortii were represent ing a Minnesota district. In fact, we would be willing to trade him for our whole congressional outfit. He talked more in favor of Minnesota Interests yesterday than our delegation will say and do during their entire congressional term. Aud yet we dare say that Mr. Butterwobtu has forgotten more on the tariff question than "Dak" Hall ever knew, notwithstanding; the latter gentleman intends to vote for any sort of a tariff bill that the ways aud means committee will put up. RANDALL'S SUCCESSOR. The Democrats in Mr. Randall's old district respect his memory, but they do not carry their testimonial of respect so far as to wish to perpetuate the protection doctrines he used to preach. The nomination of ex-Mayor Vaux, to succeed Mr. Randall, on a free trade platform, is wonderfully in contrast with the way things used to run in Philadelphia when Mr. Randall was on deck. It was said that Mr. Randall was kept in congress by Re publican votes. We will now have an opportunity to know how many Repub lican votes Mr. Randall was in the habit of receiving. If the Democrats in the old Randall district win on their new platform, it will be a marvelous evidence of the growth of tariff reform ideas. But whether they win or lose, we admire their fidelity to Democratic principles. It is better to be on the side of right and be forever defeated than to gain one victory on the side of wrong. 491 One of the most unique and catchy exhibitions of business ultraism, if that will pass, is having present illustra tion in this city. A pretty, sparkling and handsomely dressed young lady goes about to the residences with the pathetic narration that sanitary investi gations have shown that the health of the people is being ruined by bad bak ing powders. An account is given of their deleterious qualities, and the im pression left that the danger is so im minent that humane people employ their agents to visit the housewives and spread the alarm. In pursuance of the example and precepts of the Savior, they go about doing good at the expense of the philanthropic. After the listen ers are duly impressed and thankful that such perils have not quite proved fatal, it is, in the exit, remembered ac cidentally that there is one variety that analysis shows to be absolutely pure, the name of which is given. If desired, a book will be sent the lady explaining the facts. Later in the day another beautiful philanthropist comes to pre sent the promised book. There is no mercenary feature to tiie transaction, the good angels of kindness have noth ing to sell, and know nothing about any dealers in the only safe infusion iv the bread manufacture. Cr.ABKSON says that he is out of pocket 82,000 in his fifteen months, having to pay ,2,000 out of his .5,000 salary for rent alone. Then the Republican press of tho country has nearly gone to the dogs since ho left it. In a few weeks he will return to recoup it. Nor has he added to his self-respect and honor. He affirms that he has put 30,000 Repub licans into postoflices. Would it not be a gracious and considerate recognition of his degrading work for each of these 30,000 to contribute .2 for a tribute to him? This would make a neat purse of £(30,000. If a reliable fiduciary agent is wanted, there will be no churlish dis position in this quarter. It is commented upon as a notable fact that a negro student has won one of the two prizes in a Harvard college declamatory competition. Some of those New England colleges have had negro students for a hundred years; and with the natural aptitude of the colored man for vocal fluency, it is not surprising that some fine doclaimers aro developed. In one instance, many years before slavery was abolished, the only black man in the class was elected president of the chief literary society in the insti tion. The republic of letters has been said to be the least concerned about race distinctions socially. Oklahoma Is one of the places where the state treasurer had the Quay the ory: but, unfortunately, did not have the full-handed friends to help him out. Consequently, ho was not promoted to the charge of a political committee that had big purses. X lie is now doing the state service as a convict, working in a coal mine. His fellow-workers, how ever, have elected him their treasurer and put in his hands their savings from over-work. It is not necessary to draw the moral. The colored people in tho South, more frequently than in the North, are be coming trained mechanics and artisans. Nearly all their prominent* schools now have departments of industrial train ing. This is a new feature, having grown up almost entirely in the last half-dozen years. If they do not ~ keep pace with the whites of the coming gen eration in ail the activities of life, it will not be from lack of opportunities. ■ - A Loxoox paper gives an account ol the great -ticcoss of a barber shop in that city which has only pretty giris for shavers. They are reported '_ as expert with the razor and strictly lady-like in all their actions. The men think they are more gentle, and like to feel their hands on their heads. If they can pull teeth and dress up pedal extremities for. men, no reason appears why they should not be barbers. Some New Mexico Republicans are so anxious for admission as a state that they hunted over the records and found that the. Republicans have controlled its legislature eighteen years, which is more than half the time. The chances for its admission are improving. The Republicans begin to think they may have been mistaken about the people there being ignorant and • unfit for citi zens. ___ ___J__B| O.m: of the recent decisions of the interstate y commerce commission i is likely to annoy and hamper preachers and : newspaper men.

"- Little Rock Gazette. if Mr. Clarkson can induce the Re publican journals to advocate the Dem ocratic doctrines he confesses are taking so strong a hold on the masses in - the North, the number ot their readers would largely increase. Empty prom ises, sustaining the moneyed monopo lies, and vigorously flapping the bloody shirty , twenty-five years after Appo mattox, may satisfy the politicians: but the people who do not live by politics have grown tired of that kind of pro vender, and are seeking food more suited to their tastes and wants. Know Their Time Has Come. Richmond Times. Owners of the Republican party, such as the saintly Wanamaker, with his un saintly colleagues, Quay and Dudley, are convinced that the natural time has arrived for that party to adjourn. They are positive that the fat-f rying-blocks-of five methods of two years cannot safely be repeated. And the great American people, united in the Democracy, will : shout the affirmative in such thunder tones that the plotters against liberty will skulk away to their dens without daring to utter the negative. Not Proud of Harrison. New Orleans Weekly States. The president never fails to put an Indiana man in office every chance he gets, much to the disgust of • his party, and they are now saying that he is the president of Indiana, while Quay is the president of the remainder of the coun try. If it is true that Ben is Lie presi dent for Indiana, that state does not seem proud of the honor, judging from the recent Democratic victories. Will Hesitate at Nothing. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nobody doubts that census figures will be made to lie, deliberately, and with malice aforethought, in whatever manner may be deemed best calculated to strengthen the Republican party. This is a grave offense against the sanc tity of United States statistics; but the Republicans are desperate, un scrupulous, and will hesitate at nothing which promises them advantage. .-, Reed's Brilliant Idea. Louisville Courier- Journal. ;.. "Let us do our own registration and our own counting," said Mr. Reed. That is certainly the true method of making sure of an electiou, and it would save many thousands of dollars of election expenses now borne by our infant in dustries. The man who says that Mr. Reed has not a great head is no reader of the news. ySHHfII The "Worst Yet to Come. Congressman Peters tells his Repub lican confreres that unless a halt is called in the matter of treasury raids the g. o. p. will find itself in the most embarrassing position it has ever ex perienced. The party has been in some pretty tight places, but Mr. Peters is correct in thinking that the worst is yet to come. r A Serious Situation. Mobile Register.

As Others See Him. Philadelphia Record. Mayor Grant had better have stuck to teaching his godchild the Ton Com mandments. NORTH DAKOTA TALK. Not on Sugar and Tin. Eds-erley Mail. Eastern papers represent the Dakotas as demauding protection for beet sugar and tin. This is a false representation. If placed to a vote of the people they would declare for absolute free trade in these commoaities ten to one. The action of our legislature in propos ing a bounty on beet sugar does not in dicate its desire for national protection, but rather pro-supposes its withdrawal. Not That Grace. Iliflsboro Banner.

VEKXOX,FIa., May 13.— Two Mormon elders have been tramping through Washington and Holmes counties, dis tributing their religious tracts. They went by the names of Elders James and Maxwell, of Utah. They had proselyted .to "a considerable extent, and especially among young unmarried females. A party of eight women were secured to go West last week. Abram King, living six miles from here, had two daughters in the party. King and his son, with his neighbors, one of whose wife was with the converts.pursued the Mormons, and on capturing them tie! them to trees and after snipping them and flogging them unmercifully, they then loosened them and began firing on them. The Mormons ran into the swamps, and have not been seen since. The young women were returned home, and every one of thorn was well switched, their parents making each one Whip the other. The neighborhood has been intensely ex cited over the event, as there is no doubt but what the elders perished in the swamp. PARADISIC INUNDATED. Heavy Rain** Flood a Suburb of Pittsburg. Gkeexsbckg, Pa., May 13.— One of the heaviest rain storms that has visited this sectiou for many years passed over here • this afternoon about 2 o'clock.

The Kelly & Jones works were flooded and work entirely sus pended. Farther south the damage was greater. REDS WANT THEIR LIBERTY. Attempt to Secure the Release of the Anarchists. Chicago. May 13.— Preparations have "been made to attempt to secure the re lease from the penitentiary of Anarch ists Fielden. Schwab and Noetic by a method heretofore not hinted at in the case. In a short time an application will be made to Judge Gresham for a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that the. prisoners 'are detained with out process of law. No less an authority than Gen. Benjamin F. Butler says that the effort, will, almost beyond doubt, be successful, the opinion being based on the expressions of the - United States supreme court in the proceedings here tofore brought before that body. "Ben jamin Butler is a regularly retained associate counsellor in the case. The anarchists' lawyers say the writ of habeas corpus will be asked for on the ground that, after the sentence of death i was passed upon the condemned anarch- ' , ists and Neebe was doomed to spend ; fifteen years in the penitentiary, the case was appealed to the supremo court, where the finding of the lower court with the sentence of death for Spies, Parsons, Lingg. Fischer, Engel, Schwab and Fielden was affirmed. Tho prison ers were not taken before the supreme court to hear this affirmation of their . sentences, and their lawyers were not even notified to be present. The claim was made that tins was a breach of their constitutional rights, and that the con stitution even went so far as to say that a sentence of death rendered in the absence of the prisoners was not due process of law. Gen. Butler writes under date of May 10: "After giv ing sufficient examination to the record in the case of Fielden, I have come fully to the conclusion that such action is erroneous, ia that it was an attempt to take his life without process of law. I therefore advise very strongly your taking a writ of error to have such pro cedure corrected by the judgment of the supreme court of the United States, If any technical objections are made to the circuit court for a writ of habeas corpus for Fielden because under that writ the facts, as well as the law, can be discussed, and forms are of no con sequence.when they stand in the way of due course of justice. Of course the decision of the questions relieves any of his fellows who are suffering from the same errors, if decided as I believe they must be,' save the men whose lives have beeu taken without due process of law."
