Tin: hard times are having one good
effect in all parts of the country. The

largely increased in all the principal

care to keep them at home, and ns a
consequence they will receive more
schooling than they would have had if

obtained.

Farther East the cashiers loot the banks
at their leisure, and take a leisurely
jaunt to foreign parts until the excite
ment blows over. The Colorado style
will be preferred by creditors of the

popular with the bank officials.

THE LOKDS.ARE MAT). -"
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad." There-was inspiration
in \ these words, tered by a heathen
philosopher more than two thousand
years ago. The rejection yesterday by
the British house of Jonjs of Mr. Glad
stone's bill providing home rule for
Ireland was an act of political suicide.
It is the beginning of the end— and the
end is not far distant— when the august
body of peers that now.forms a part of
the legislative power of Great .Britain
shall ue no more.
Seldom in late years have the peers",
attempted to thwart the purpdses of the
commons. Since the repeal of the corn
laws they have been in wholesome
dread of what by courtesy is called the
lower house of parliament. For a time
they opposed church disestablishment
in Ireland, but they were forced to suc
cumb to the same imperious will that
now dominates the nation's chosen rep
resentatives. On that momentous oc
casion Mr. Gladstone spoke iv no un
certain tones. lie told the heredi
tary house that the country had
decided upon a course and fieir
duty was plain— it was but to
obey. The present crisis is of far
more cousequence than any question of
paying tithes to an alien church, li
concerns the right to that degree of
self-government that is allowed to
Scotland, to Canada and to the Austra
lian colonies. Although Scotland has
no legislature of her own, her repre
sentatives in parliament submit the
wishes of their constituents to the par
liament, and those wishes are invari
ably respected. The colonies enjoy the
privilege of self-government without
representation in parliament. The bill
proposed for Ireland was a combination
of the two forms— that ot Scotland and
the colonies. It was reasonable; it was
just; it was politic. This has been de
nied to tue country by the lords. What
next? ': : :
There is little doubt as to what Mr.
Gladstoxk will attempt. If he were
younger by a score of years it would be
revolution -the annihilation of the
house of peers. And tie would succeed,
for the country is ripe for such a step.
His great ace will prevent his undertak
ing such a task, however, and he will,
perforce, be compelled to content him
self with an appeal to the country. Of
the result ot this appeal there is hap
pily no existing doubt. Gladstone
will be sustained, and then, if the lords
shall again thwart his will, revolution
will come.
The lords have gone mad. They must
be destroyed. _
THE PLifcJA OF PROTECTION.
"Leave the tariff alone" is the frantic
appeal of the Republican journals from
Maine to California. "Leave the tariff'
alone" was shouted by tne same gang
during the presidential campaign a year
ago. The people did not want to leave
ihe tariff unmolested, and so distinctly
announced at the ballot box. Men were
elected to office who were pledged to r
reform the tariff at the earliest possible'
moment, and to wipe from the statute
books every vestiKe Of McKinleyism.
"We denounce the McKinley tariff
law,*' said the Chicago convention, "as
the culminating atrocity of class legisla
tion; we indorse the efforts made by the
Democrats to modify its most oppressive
features in the directiou of free raw
.materials and cheaper manufactured
goods that enter into general consump
tion, and WE PROMISE its repeal as
one of tiie beneficent results that will
follow the action" of the people. in in
trusting power to the Democratic
party." .-- ; I ; ..
No section of the Democratic plat
form was more widely discussed during
the campaign than this. It was the
great issue of the hour— almost trie only
issue. The iniquities of the tariff formed
the theme of every Democratic orator;
a defense of the system called for the
most adroit apologies that the ingenuity
of the Republicans could devise. The
peoole listened to both the accusers and
defenders of the system, and they de
cided by a majority unprecedented in
our history that protection must cease;
that no class of our people should, have
an advantage over another; that the
labor of the mechanic, the fanner and
the artisan should not be dissipated in
order that the profits of the wealthy
manufacturer and importer might be in
creased.
The present congress has recognized
the necessity for tariff revision by ap
pointing special committees to investi
gate the operations of the McKinlky
act in all branches of industry. These
committees are now at work, and it is
probable that when congress shall as
semble in regular session sufficient in
formation will be at hand to permit of
such a revision of the tariff as shall bring
relief to the working millions of the na
tion, and thus redeem the pledges made
by the Democratic party to the people.
To "leave the tariff alone" would be dis
honest, a breach of faith, a shameless
and inexcusable disregard of the wishes
of the people as expressed at the ballot
box. Congress will not, it dare not
'•leave the tariff alone." McKinleyism
was doomed by the verdict of the people
last November; the sentence must be
executed by the representatives of the
people in congress, aud that with the
least possible delay.

THAT NICARAGUA SCHEME.
The bankruptcy of ~ the Nicaragua
Canal company, thus generally de
scribed, but legally known as the Mari
time Canal company, has called atten
tion of the press to it again, generally in
the line of comment on the hollowness
of the great shell which crushed under
the demand for payment of a debt
of only £4,000.
There is enough, however, of public
interest in the disclosures now made
relative to its condition and methods to
make the country extremely thankful
that congress did not listen to its re
quests with acquiescent ears, even after
John Secebman had suear-coated them
with his amendments purposing to give
the government a controrHng interest in
its management.* The usual jobbing
construction company now comes to the
surface, whose rights and claims would
have been superior to the company's, no
matter whether the government or in
dividuals controlled it. We escaped a
job which would have been as redolent
-of sharp practice as were the Pacific
railroads.
But. while there is no remote possi
bility of the scheme being revived with
any chance of success in this coirg'ress.
the question yet remains whether it is
not a national undertaking, with national
benefits whether, having aided iron
ways across the continent because of
the national good to come from them, it
is not just as defensible and necessary
that we have a waterway across the
continent.
However this may be. we are glad to
sec so unanimous an opinion in the
press of the country that whenever it is
undertaken the work should be done by
the government exclusively under con
cessions made to it, and be owned and
operated when completed by the gov

PURGING THE PENSION ROtili.
There has been much discussion over,
[ the action of Secretary Hoke Smith in
suspending the payment of pensions to
many survivors of the War of . the .Re
bellion whose right to such pensions
was not established by Drlma facie evi
dence; and the secretary and his subor
dinate. Pension Commissioner Locn
ifEN, have been subjected to much un
warranted condemnation. Perhaps the
action of the denartmeut, was too hasty.
If so, the fault lias been remedied by a
supplemental order restoring the pen
sioners whose claims are disputed -until
such time as their cases hav«* been in-'
vestigated and their. right to pensions
determined.
This act on the part of the secretary,
of the interior removes all Just cause for]
criticism. It is the desire of^very man, "
be he Democrat or Republican, Populist
or Prohibitionist, a veteran pensioner or
one who draws no pension, to make of
the pension, roll a roll of honor. Noth
ing will so soon bring the great body of
pensioners into disrepute as the indis
criminate granting of the government
largess to unworthy men. It is beyond
dispute that there are thousands of men
now drawiug pensions who never took"
part in the war in such a capacity as
would entitle them to bear the name of
soldiers. Still others are drawing pen
sions who are as sound bodily and
mentally as when they entered the
service, while another large body
are enjoying the bounty of the govern
ment because of disabilities not received
in the service, but which nave arisen
since the close ot hostilities, and which,
in many cases,are the result of their own
ignorance or vices. Such "pensioners'
bring disgrace upon the men who haz
arded their lives and lost limbs or health,
in defense of their country. They are
neither legally nor morally entitled to
receive pensions, yet they are among
the first to apply for them, and are the
loudest in their denunciation of all
measures adopted with a. view to mak
ing the pension roll a roll of honor.
It is not the purpose of the present
administration to deny to any worthy
soldier the benefits of the pension laws.
It is its purpose, however, to purge* the
lists of the names of^im worthy persons
who bring disgrace upon every honest
veteran in the land— th« camp follow
ers, who were like jackals during the
wai. aud since have lived upon ttie rep
utation that others hove won, and
falsely assumed to speak for nieii whose,
shoes' latchet they were unworthy to
unloose. No good citizen and no mem
ber of the present federal administra
tion has any desire to deny to any the
award of merit, but the dead beats who
falsely assume to represent the soldier
and the soldier's cause must bo com
pelled to take back seats.
WOOL AT SECOND HAM).
Wool has not been at so low an ebb at
any time within the memory of man.
Its price is only remunerative to the
owners of flocks on the Southern plains,
where the cost of keep is practically
nothing. Where shelter and reed dur
ing winter months is required there is
no profit in sheep except for their flesh.
The Ohio Wool Growers' association—
that is, the three shepherds, Dklaxo,
Lawrence and the other fellow whose
name escapes us— have called a national
assembly of shepherds to meet at Chi-:
catro on the 2Sth iust. Montana wool
growers have met, decided to take part
iv it, elected delegates and resolved.
Like all of their kind, they insist on
having the general government — that
is, All of Us— for special partners,
contibuting part of the capital, and
Bharius in none of the profits. In other
words, they protest against the removal
of the tax on foreign wools, and would
have the present one inane mom pro
tective. "-
Naturally these special partners have
tried to evade their unwelcome burden.
They and their active, managing part
ners have been pulling iv opposite di
rections; the former wauled cheap
woolens,, the latter wanted dear wool.
The wool growers sought to turn back
the tendency of our times, which sets
strongly in the direction of improving
the material condition of men by de
creasing the cost of those things essen
tial to their material comfort. They
have suffered the penalty which usually
falls on persons who persist In swim
ming against the current. The special
partners have had their way; the man-'
aging partners are looking receiverships
in the face. -'-\;*v •*•
Whennhe price of anything needed by
men is enhanced either by natural or
artificial causes, the ingenuity of men is
set to work to find something to take its
place which will answer as well, or
nearly as well, and cost less. The story
of manufactures in this country for the
last quarter of a century is replete with
illustrations of this. When the price ot
rags made paper dear, wood pulp came
to make it cheap. The increasing cost
of butter led to the manufacture of oleo
margarine. The increasing cost of
skilled labor brought forth machines'
which dispensed with it entirely, or
lessened the number required. Col
umns might be filled with instances of
which these are types.
■■ The wool growers were similarly de
feated. They have not only perma
nently injured themselves, but they have
contributed to the defrauding of the
wool users of the nation. As the tariff
they obtained made wool from the
sheeD's back dearer, the wit.of man be
gan to search for wool from other
sources. A prolific source was found
in the worn aud cast-off woolen clothing
of , the people. A new shepherd ap
peared, tending new flocks. The rag
man, with meager capital, gathered
wool from flocks that cost him nothing
for their keep. Shoddy mills grew up
beside the carding mills, and supplied
"wool" to the looms. Wool from, the
sheep began a series of cycles. Cloth,
clotbiug, rags, shoddy; clothing again,
rags, shoddy; again clothing, and so on
until destroyed. One shoddy maker
says that wool is capable of six trans
formations.
The wool growers are entitled to no
sympathy. Their greed simply over
reached itself. Like the, dog in the
fable, they dropped the substance to:
grasp the shadow. They have drowned
themselves in their own wool. They
have succeeded in making' one pound of
their wool the equivalent in its repro
ductions of four, five, possibly six
pounds of wool. They have thus enor
mously increased the supply and have
proportionately decreased the price. ;
They may never again recover their
former position, but any recovery can'
only come from free, un taxed wool. *.

I, ATE PENSION RULINGS.
Recent Decisions Not Inconsistent
With Republican Precedent.
New York Times.
We have referred heretofore to the
failure of the leading .Republican papers
to publish the explanations given to the
press by Commissioner Lochren, of the
pension bureau, and Judge Reynolds,
assistant secretary of the interior, con
cerning the recent decisions relating to
pensions granted under the law of 1S1X).
Our attention has been called to a spe
cial dispatch from Washington, pub
iishea in the Philadelphia Press of July
31, which did contain some of the im
portant facts that were emphasized in
the letters of Judge Lochren and Ju dg6
Reynolds.
Speaking of the ruling of May 27,
1893. by »vhich Ravin's"" illegal "Order
No. 104" was revoked and a foundation
laid for a correction of his unlawful
work, the Washington correspondent
ot the Press said.
"This same ruling was made by As
sistant Secretary Bnssey on Jan. 7, IS»3,
but Commissioner I Jan in kept on in the
old way and stirred up all the adjudi
cating "divisions of the pension office
to renewed activity in grinding out the
daily grist of admitted claims, in de
fiance of this decision. It may be truth
fully said that he did his best up to the
very day he was relieved."
If Rauiu's "best" was the granting of
pensions illegally with- the greatest
possible rapidity, in defiance of law and
of the decisions and instructions of his
superior officers, what would his worst
have been? We direct attention to the
positive assertion that the important
ruling of Judge Reynolds in the Ben
nett case, the ruliug which has been the
object of so loud and so persistent a
partisan outcry, was a repetition of a
ruling of Judge Reynolds' Republican
predecessor, made two months before
the close of President Harrison's term,
and insolently defied and violated by
the Republican commissioner, Raum. .
In the same dispatch th« Press' corre
spondent in Washington said: : . -
"In his decision in the Heike case,
rendered Jan. 7, 1893, Secretary Bussey:.
repudiated the whole business (the?
practice of Raum under his illegal?
'Order No. 164'), and laid down th» 1
very principle which is now being car
ried out by Assistant Secretary Rey
nolds." ■ ,
And in explanation of the course
taken by Commissioner Lochren under
the ruling of Judge Reynolds, which
was a repetition of the ruling of Bussey,^
the correspondent went on to say : ■. v
"The new pension policy now belnsg
enforced grew out of the very uecessi-*
ties of the case. Under 'Order No. 164, 4
more invalid pensioners were enrolled
in two years than bad been enrolled in.
the previous thirty years, and the an
nual expenditure was doubled with the
prospect of another duplication if the
same ratio of 'certificates issued' should
be kept up for two years longer." " .-;
We commend these facts, published
by so prominent a -Republican paper as
the Philadelphia Press, to . the attention
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, the Boston
Journal, the Indianapolis" Journal, the
New York Tribune, and ! other leading
papers of the party, which I appear to
have overlooked them, or to have under
taken to withhold them from their read
era. We- must add that the Press Itself
■ seems in these days to have foreottvn
that it published them only five weeks I

At thfTriver end of. Summit avenue
yesterday I"watched the workmen who
are constructing the Macalester park,
system of sewers— or, rather, the begin
ning of the system. A start on the
work has been ninde at the river end to
secure* an outlet/ because Contractor
Kirkland has encountered a great aval
or" water iii his ditches. In dry soil the
whole system could be put down in five
months; as it is, the better part of a
year will be consumed. Where the
sewer will empty into the river there
I will be a fall varying from 0 feet in 100
to almost the perpendicular, an irou
pipe connecting the heavy tile pipe of
the main line with the eighty feet, of
outlet on the river bank below. And,
by the way, the sewer pipe being laid is
.manufactured at Red Wing, and is pro
nounced superior to anything of the
kind that can be procured elsewhere.
It would make the eyes of a kid-gloved
aristocrat stick out to see the sewer
diggers m the lower trench working
like Trojans in muddy running water,
while the muck they throw to a staging
overhead drips down onto them and
cakes on their heads and backs. i3e as
careful as he may. the shoveler on the
staging cannot avoid the fall of more or
less in tKi to the trench from which it
was just thrown. Sewer building in
wet ground is an unenviable task at any
price.

Visitors to Groveland park have often

with the. good woman who runs it I
learned that her best patrons are the

There is a rule of the street car com

arms a chubby cherub of probably nine
or tea mouths, hardly able, to stand up
unless held. The mother stood the baby
on the seat to allow it to loos out of the
window, and the conductor at once told
her of the rule mentioned. The baby
"gave him the laugh" in killing fashion,
but the mother was so much surprised
seemed not to realize that she was
violating that awful rule. So the crow

A FISHERMAN'S BAD BREAK.
; Col. William Lee enjoys a good story,
and has recently read with peculiar en

will open the eyes of their friends as to
\tieir fish. stories. "When I was post-,
master," said Col. Lee. "McCarthy and
liardacre were eternally putting up
schemes. They were very thick then,
more so than they are since Capt. Hard
racre: played the joke on McCarthy
about the empty Mask that he 6 lied with
lake water. Well, 'they, were in the
habit of putting up big fish stories to
impose on their friends. They had an
agreement to go to Lindstroiu for a
day's fishiug. One day a tele
phone call from the Stillwater
po-stoffice came to my office
for Hardacre. I not having anything in
particular to do answered the 'phone
and found it was McCarthy, who was
then postmaster at Stillwater. and he
wanted to talk to Hardacre about the
engagement to go fishing the next day.
I pretended that I was Hardacre, and
when McCarthy asked if Hardacre was
in replied in the affirmative, and he
asked" if I was - going to keep the ap
pointment to go fishing at Lindstrom
the next day. I replied that I did not
know. 'But you must go,' replied Mc-
Carthy, 'for 1 have had two men up
there for t'jree days fishing . for us.' I
replied that the explanation was satis
factory, and afterwards told Hardacre
that McCarthy had sent word for him to
be sure to go to Lindstrom the next day
to fish. I awaited developments. The
two went fishing and came back with a
big string of fish and the usual stories
as to how hard they worked and the
great luck they had."

WITH THE TRAVELERS.
Hon. M. O. Hall, of Duluth, arrived
in St. Paul from Europe yesterday; on
his way home, and stopped a few hours
at the Merchants', lie was seven weeks
in the old country, spending most of his
time In England. Scotland, I and, the
Scandinavian: countries and Germany.
He said: . ;. >-• ; >
"While I have a great personal ad
miration for Gladstone, I must say that
I found ; the feeling . with .reference to
the home rule bill, even in Ireland, very
different from : what "I -expected. N 1
talked with a.number, of the leading
.manufacturers of ; Ireland, who are all
lull-blooded Irishmen, and was told by
one and all of them that the passage of
the biil would be a very disastrous
thing for the Emerald isle. They,
said that if the bill became a law
they would simply remove their in
dustries to England. There has sprung
up considerable feeling between theProt
estauts and Catholics within the past
year. The Protestants assert that the
Catholics are largely in the majority in
Ireland, and that if the country has
home rule the politics will be wholly in
the hands of the Catholics, and will be
run to suit the interests of the church.
Of course, 1 do not know anything of
the merits of the position, and only give
you the talk I heard for what it is worth.
At the same time 1 became convinced
that if a good many Americans and
Irish-Americans should visit that coun
try they would find occasion to alter
liiejr opinions somewhat.
"The financial stringency in America
Is keenly fell in European countries,
where laree orders from this country
have been canceled. The countries I
visited will not be affected by- an un
conditional repeal of the Sherman sil
ver-purchasing law. But the repeal
would have nearly as serious an effect
in Fiance and the other silver countries
of Europe as in our silver-producing
states. Last Saturday in New York
and yesterday in Chicago 1 found the
financial condition greatly improved.
It tnose cities they are gradually in
creasing . their reserves, and they say
that times have materially changed for
the better during the past ten days.
They assert the belief that the crisis is
practically over."

ac0ut 225.000.000 feet arc still on hand.
"We could have disposed of all our

JUDGE LOCHREN.
Anione the last of the glorious sur
vivers of the "crack" regiment of the
army of the Potomac, the gallant First
Minnesota, stands the present commis
sioner of pensions, Judge Lochren.
From the first battle or Bull Hun to the
Gettysburg: charge, where the most of
the regiment died that the Union might
live. Judge Lochren followed the Hag,
and since then as a private citizen, as a
lawyer and a jurist has stood pre-em
inent in the state of Minnetota and the
' Northwest. Witn that clearness of
judgment and knowledge of mankind
so characteristic of Cleveland, he select
ed him for the position he now holds,
aud well and worthy has he proved of
the confidence reposed in him.— Grafton
News-Times.
Pension Commissioner Lochren, w l
started out to go as far in the direction
of unfairness to the old soldier as I>is
predecessor, Corporal Tanner, went in
the direction of undue liberality, has
been called down by Secretary Hoke
Smith, and hereafter the veteran draw
ing a pension will be given the same
show that an ordinary accused felon
has. He will no longer be considered
guilty until he proves hisowninno
ceuce. — Mitchell Republican.
Judge Lqchren is severely criticised
by a certain element whose only pur
pose seems to be to stir up a bitter feel
ing against him. Judge Lochren has a
record as a soldier that is good. He
was on the field of Gettysburg, not as a
spectator, but a soldier fighting for a.
Union one and inseparable. He went
in to the army as one of the gallant
Minnesota First, and with them he
shared all their glory, and helped them
to win it. We care nothing about his
politics. We didn't ask him about them
in the terrible battle of Gettysburg, and
are Dot going to do so now. All honor
to whom honor is due. All honor to the
faithful old soldier. Increase his pen
sion to meet the requirements of his de
clining years. Away with the per
jurer -that has no record but what his
own lying tongue has made for him..
Honor" to the man that has the courage
of convictions to execute the law hon
estly and fearlessly.— Wabasha Herald.
