EVENING EDITION.
Monday, Jan. 116, 6 P. M.
A CONSPIRACY ON FOOT.
We could stand Samuel J. Randall
if he was an open Republican instead
of a covert one wearing a mask. We
have no respect for any man who will
pretend to be a Democrat and yet in
sidiously and basely seek to betray
his party year after year. The Star
has been plain-spoken all along as to
his baseness and yet he is the favor
ite of Southern Democratic papers,
some of which do not support the
monster Blair bill.
We read in Northern public prints
that Randall is at his old game. One
of the Democratic papers of Phila
delphia, the Inquirer, tells of a nice
conspiracy that is being hatched to
defeat President Cleveland. The
Washington correspondent of the
Inquirer writes:
"The scheme is to force the National
Convention to nominate a protectionist and
Congressman Samuel J. Randall at the
head of the ticket. Those who are alleged
to bo concerned in the scheme are Mr.
Randall himself, Senator Mcpherson, of
New Jersey; 8enator Browu, of Georgia;
Congressman Foran, of Ohio, and possibly
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, with the
New York Sun as the mouthpiece of the
combination. These are the facts as given
by one of the most prominent Democrats in
Pennsylvania."
Whether there is any truth in it
we cannot determine, but it would be
quite in character with the masque
rading Protectionist from Philadel
phia to combine with the traitor
Dana and attempt to thwart the
Democratic party in the re-election
of Mr. Cleveland just as he has
thwarted the Democratic party in
two Congresses to bring about Tariff
reform and reduction. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Inquirer,
a paper published where Randall
lives, says:
"The -prominent friends of President
Cleveland in this city are now convinced
that Samuel J. Randall has burned his
bridges behind him and deserted the Ad
ministration for good and all. He has not
visited some of the departments in Wash
ington for three months. This is notably
the case in the Treasury Department, and
he is especially hostile to Secretary Fair
child. "Mr. Randall's now well-known antipa
thy to Secretary Fairchild is that the latter
is in thorough accord with the President's
tariff redaction views and theories, as ex
pressed in the message to Congress, and
Mr. Randall is naturally opposed to any
body who is not a protectionist. Mr. Ran
dall is not more in favor in the Postmaster
General's Department."
He says Mr. Carlisle had many in
terviews with Randall but failed to
secure any declaration of intention
as to what he would do when the
Tariff question came up. He says
'the wily Protectionist always man
aged to evade a declaration." He
says:
"Mr. Carlisle himself is authority for the
statement that Mr. Randall finally said:
'Perhaps the President and Secretary of
the Treasury will formulate a bill, and then
we will see.' Notwithstandidg his re
ticence, and perhaps because of it, the
Speaker again placed Mr. Randall at the
head of the important committee of which
he has been Chairman for a number of
years."
When Speaker Carlisle did that
he took upon himself a great respon
sibility, and he had no right to thus
imperil Tariff reform. It is no
wonder that the able and eloquent'
Frank Hurd, after reviewing the
situation, has given it as his opinion
that nothing Vill be done during
this session of the Congress, but the
Whole Tariff question will be ad
journed until after the Presidential
election. In the meantime the enor
mous surplus will continue to grow,
the people to be uselesely, needlessly
burdened by a heavy taxation, and
the Robber Tariff to have its own
sweet sway in making the toiling
millions pay from forty to one hun
dred per cent, for the common neces
saries of life.
The Inquirer's Washington dis
patch says:
"That Mr. Randall is not only hostile to
the renomination of President Cleveland,
but that he has himself the Presidential
bee buzzing in his bonnet is a fact well un
derstood by Pennsylvania politicians who
have watched his movements for some time
past."
An. earnest Tariff reformer and
surplus lifter even though a Dem
ocrat might prefer to vote for some
consistent, decent Republican like
Senator Allison, who favors Tariff
reform, than for such a treacherous
fellow as Randall, who while kissing
you on the cheek drives his poniard
under the fifth rib. Let a man be
something a Democrat or a Re
publican. The most dangerous poli
tician or editor is one who calls him
self one thing and teaches the prin
ciples and dogmas of the other party.
The Clearing House returns for
first week in January were not satis
factory. The New York money mar
ket is easier, loans averaging not
more than 4 percent. Of 110 rail
roads reporting, all but 7 showed an
increase in earnings for December
1887. The gain was 43 millions. For
the first week in January the earn
ings on 43 roads show an increase of
16.75 per cent, over the correspond
ing week for 1887. New York dry
goods market more active. Prices
remain firm.
SHEBMAN Olf THE BLAIR BILL.
John Sherman, in the United States
Senate, said this in his discussion of
the Blair bill:
"If the United States have the right to
appropriate the money, they have the right
to say upon what conditions the money
shall be expended . If they say we will aid
the South, or the Southern States, to edu
cate their illiterate children, then the Uni
ted States have the power and right to set
out the principles and conditions or limita
tions of that grant. The greater includes
the less; and if the power is given to make
these appropriations at all, the power is
also given to say for whose benefit the money
shall be expended, how it shall be expended
where and w7ien, and how apportioned, and
for what purposes. This is as clear a pro
position as can be shown eucild or any
other mathematical work. "
The Ohio Senator is evidently
well satisfied with his own statement,
and it must be admitted that it
would be very difficult to Bhow ho
is illogical or to disprove his propo
sition. Surely if the Federal Gov
ernment can under any plea levy a
tax for the purpose of school teach
in the several, Southern States, it caa
also supervise, control and follow
into the States the fund thus applied.
Why cannot the Congress apply the
method if it can give the money ?
As Senator Coke says, "What does
all this mean but that the National
Government, if it has the power to
appropriate the money, has also the
power to control and regulate and
administer the schools as far as the
expenditure of this money is con
cerned ?" There is no denying this.
The men. who are inviting this inva
sion of the Federal power into the
States to intermeddle and control lo
cal schools are engaged in a work
that if designed to so result would
deserve to bring the severest con
demnation and reproach upon them.
A GROWING SENTIMENT.
As an example to show that among
the people there is a growing senti
ment in favor of reform in taxation
we may point to the opinion of Mr.
D. W. Minshall, one of the able and
rich men of Indiana. He has been
all along a Republican and still re
mains faithful, but he is clearly in
favor of a reduction of the Tariff
and the surplus. He says his party
denounced the Democrats for having
"failed completely to relieve the peo
ple of the burden of unnecessary
taxation by a wise redaction of the
surplus," and then the plank adds:
"The Republican party pledges it
self to correct- the irregularities of
the tariff and to reduce the surplus."
"Thus far," says Mr. Minshall, "we
were right, and now the question is:
Are we going to keep on in the right
or are we going to permit Mr.
Cleveland and his part of the Demo
cratic party to crowd us off our solid
platform of right, and, while they
ocoupy it, compel us to stand in the
quick sand of cheap expediency and
defend impalpable wrongs ?" Like
a level-headed and earnest advocate
of reform he doeB not favor the Re
publican scheme of repealing the to-
bacco tax (see Blaine's Pans bid for
the nomination) and calls it a "cheap
and easy expedient." He opposes
collecting any longer the $100,000,
000 a year that is so nnnecessanly"
forced fom the people. He says:
Let usay ihe tax shall be reduced to
the waDtrof ihe Government, and that the
tuxes on whiskey and tobacco shall be the
very Ustto be reduced one penny."
That is evidently the opinion of
an honest Republican. Would there
were more of that sort.
AN ABLE SPEECH.
We much doubt if there is an abler
man than Senator Coke, of Texas, in
the U. S. Senate. We have read
four or five speeches by him and they
are all very able. They are invari
ably distinguished for clearness,
force and directness. They show a
mastery of subjects treated and are
dignified, judioious and convincing.
He is very apt to be on the right side
of questions. The style of his
speeches is. excellent. It is plain,
simple, without embellishment the
very reflexion of the luminous and
logical thoughts of the calm and
forceful reasoner. The style is an
admirable vehicle to convey the
masterly argument to the minds of
hearer or reader.
We have read his recent speech in
opposition to the Blair bill as it ap
pears in the Congressional Record.
If space was at our command we
would print the whole of it. It is his
third abl speech against the most
mischievous and dangerous bill of
our times. No man living can an
swer the arguments of the Senator
from Texan, although replies without
number may be assayed. We copy
a portion his speech of the 12tn of
January. It is good as far as it goes,
but if you would appreciate the
ability of the discussion you must
read all he has said upon the Federal
School Teaching bill.
SESA'IOR COKE.
From his speech on the Blair bill delivered
in Senate oc 12th January.
It is unnecessary to consume time
with other quotations to the same ef
fect from speeches of Republican
party leaders, for, with a possible
occasional exception, it is well known
that all of them entertain the views
quoted from Senators Sherman and
Anthony. The views of the Repub
lican supporters of this bill, and the
arguments they have made in advo
cacy of it, possess at least the merit
of consistency, and from their stand
point are logical. They believe in a
strong, paternal government. They
doubt the capacity of the people of
the States to manage their domestic
concern?, and especially their com
mon schools. They believe the peo
ple of the States are not willing to
tax themselves at home sufficiently to
maintain a good system of common
schools, and the Congress, knowing
so much better what is needed in the
States than the people and State Leg
islatures do,shou!d take the matter in
hand and regulate it. They see no con
stitutional objection to this course,
and besides being favorable to a high
protective tariff, which necessarily
piles up a vast surplus be
yond the needs of the Govern
ment in the Treasury, they find in
measures of this character the means
of expending it and perpetuating a
high tariff. Hence it is that we have
before us a bill embodying the Re
publican idea of unlimited power in
the National Government in the levy
and collection of taxes, and equally
unlimited power of appropriation a
bjll which utterly ignores the differ
ence between matters of State and
national jurisdiction, and boldly siezes
and proposes to control and adminis
ter a, great subject heretofore univer
sally conceded to be within the sole
and exclusive jurisdiction of the
States. It is true the bill provides
that no State shall receive its benefits,
unless by legislative bill or resolution
they are accepted with the attesding
conditions, the share of non-oonsent-ing
States in the appropriation to be
divided among those which shall ac
cept. Taxation under the Constitution
must be uniform. The people of all
the States must be taxed alike, and
bear tbe burden of raising the money
alike, whether tbe States of which
they are citizens oonsent to accept
the benefits of this bill or not. So
it is apparent that the States are not
free agents, and have not a free
choice in determining whether or not
they will accept the provisions of
the bill. If any State shall decline
to consent to an invasion of her
jurisdiction in the mode proposed by
this bill, a penalty amounting to the
full sum paid by her people in rais
ing the seventyNseven millions ap
propriated by the bill is laid upon
her for the oontumacy. The pro
visions of the bill are coercive upon
the States. They must accept or be
punished for refusal by a heavy fine
in the shape of taxation from whioh
they are to derive no benefit. The
freedom of choice, the unconstrained
exercise of volition and discretion
necessary to valid consent are ut
terly wanting. The pow
ers of Congress can not be
enlarged by the consent of the
States, nor can those of the States be
diminished by the action of Con
gress. An amendment to the Con
stitution alone can make these
changes. The States cannot consent
to a usurpation of their powers by
Congress any more than Congress
can rightfully go into the reserved
domain of the States. The, powers
granted to Congress and those re
served to tne States are absolutely
fixed by the.Constitution beyond the
reach or control of either, except oy
amendment of the Constitution in
tbe mode required in that instrument.
What the Constitution has ordained
shall be kept separate and apart and
distinct cannot be mixed and min
gled, even by the joint action and
oonsent of both Congress and the
States. To hold otherwise woold be
to confess that the Constitution my
be nullified by collusion between
Congress and the States, or- changed
without amendment in the mode pre
scribed by the Constitution. A Con
gressional majority through methods
of this character would be omnipo
tent and the Constitution become a
dead letter. If tbe common
sohools are under the pole and exclu
sive jurisdiction ot tbe States, as
they have universally heretofore
been held to be, and are generally
now admitted to be, I bold it to
be an indisputable proposition that
tbe National Gpvernment has no con
stitutional power to tax the people
for their support. In other words, I
maintain that the power does not ex
ist in Congress to levy and collect
taxes from the people for the purpose
of raising money to be expended on
objeots outside of the national juris
diction. Taxation and appropria
tion, to be legitimate and constitu
tional, must be for a public purpose,
a purpose which it is the right and
duty of the particular Government
which oolleots and expends the money
to effectuate.
If Congress can raise by taxation
money to be expended on objects
outside of the national jurisdiction,
then the power of Congress to tax
the people and appropriate money is
as boundless as the world. There is
no limit to it. If a due execution of tbe
proper powers and an enforcement of
the jurisdiction of the Government
does not fix and prescribe the limits
of the taxing power, nothing
else does, and the power is with
out limit as long as a dollar is
left in the 'pockets of the people.
If Congress possesses this all absorb
ing, unlimited, and universal) taxing
and appropriating power in order to
provide for the "common defense
and general welfare," as claimed by
the advocates of this bill, why did
the framers of the Constitution in
Article I, section 8 of that instru
ment, enumerate and define tbe 'spe
cific purposes for which Congress
should lay and collect taxes. It was
utterly superfluous to do this under
that construction of the "general
welfare" clause. Mr. Madison, in an
extract from one of his speeches read
by me in a former debate on this
bill, in a few words expressed the
absurdity of the construction con
tended for. He said:
There are consequences still more
extensive, which, as they follow
clearly from the doctrine combined,
must either be admitted or the doc
trine must be given up. If Congress
can employ money indefinitely to
the general welfare, and are the sole
and supreme judges of the general
welfare, they may take the care of
religion into their own bands; they
may appoint teachers in every State,
county, and parish, and pay them
out of their public treasury;
they may take into their own hands
the education of children, establish
ing in like manner schools through
out the Union; they may assume the
provision for the poor, they may un
dertake the regulation of all roads
other than pOBtroads; in short,
everything, from the highest object
of State legislation down to the most
minute objects of police, would be
thrown under tbe power of Congress;
for every object I have mentioned
would admit of the application of
money, and might be called, if Cons
gress pleased, provisions for the gen
eral welfare.

-. tsr Telegraph to the Horsing: Star.)
St. Paul, Jan. 16r Tbe terrible storm
which . has swept over the"! Northwest,
blockading the railroads in five States, is
now over and tbe victims of its fury are
being counted. . Tbe pitiful list is growing
almost every hour. It is not improbable,
when the record Is complete, that it will
show one hundred lives sacrificed to tbe
awful fury of the blizzard. Next to this
tbe worst blizzard that the Northwest has
ever experienced occurred January 7, 8
and 9, 1873. In that storm seventy people
were frozen to death and thousands of dol
lars worth of property was destroyed The
present storm promises to be even more
terrible in its results. It came without
warning. At sunrise Wednesday morning,
Dakota never had more lovely winter
weather. The air was clear as crystal, and
every object about the horizon was dis
tinctly visible. The wind was from the
south, warm and balmy, and before the sun
was high fn the sky a decided thaw had sit
iu. Farmers took advantage of the beauti -ful
weather to go to town to draw wood,
hay. etc. About noon a cloud was seen
along tbe northwestern horizon, Ijine close
to tbo ground, but stretching from Lorth
to west in a dark semi-circle. Little atten
tion was paid to it, but in an hour tbe
clouds had swept over tbe country, the sun
was obscured, snow was falling fast, and a
gale was sweeping from tbe north wc&t
wiib terrible fury. The blizzard had begun,
the mercury fell rapidly, and by 5 o'clock
it was 15 degrees below zero end mxi
morning it registered 30 degrees below.
All tbe while the wind increased ia fury,
the snow fell thicker, and the large amount
of soow that was already on tbe ground
was blown into powder and hurled along
by the wipd. On tbe prairie an object
forty fett distant could not be seen, and a
man's voice could not be heard six feet dis
taot. The air was full of snow as fine as
flour, and the roaring of the wind and the
darkoets caused by so mueh snow in the
air made the ecene the most dismal, drear
and foreaken that man ever looked upon.
Every railroad in Dakota and Minnesota,
and many in Iowa, Nebraska and Wiscon
sin were blocked. Telegraph wires every
where were down, and il was not until
Saturday that the full extent and awful
results of the storm became apparent.
