Mankato Free Press: This is a cruel world for the Popocrat. He said the price of wheat could not go up without an increase in our money volume. But the price of wheat has been advancing right along. The recent congress, devoted to agricultural interests held at In dianapolis last week,favored fe male sufferage,the extension of postal deliveries to agricultural districts,a bounty for beets grown for sugar and against undesirable imigration. The next congress meets at St. Paul. Among our exchanges we no tice postoffice candidates are being referred to and in some instances named,however we will not be per sonal but merely say,that from in formation received up to the. present time,for this office here, the race is between an editor and a railroad man, with the odds in favor of the latter. A general business activity is taking place all over the country, The mines of the west are being reopened with preparations for ex tensive output. Up to Nov. 12th over 300 mills of various kinds had resumed operations, many of them having been idle for some time. These mills alone gave em ployment to over 150,000 men This general resumption o£ busi ness takes place all within nine days after the election of McKin ley, wheat advances over seven cents,since election. All of this general revival in demand for lab-1 or and increased prices, is termed a "Republican conspiracy". Term it what you may,the Ameri can people are deriving thebenefit. The Clay«Co. Freeman of Ver million, S.D.siys that some of their: citizens were nicely caught by a Cedar Rapids, Iowa firm, who ad vertised great bargains in "bun dle" deals. A large order was made up by parties chippiDg in for different articles of clothing, when the big "bundle" of goods were received, they were found to be burnt, out of date and various other defects. The whole "bun dle" not being worth the freight charges. Serves them right.

Submarine cables axe usually im bedded iu the slimy bottom of the ocean, but "at certain points theyhang like wire bridges over deep submarine valleys, so that whales and other largo inhabitants of the deep may become dangerous to the cable. Once in awhil* it is the cable that becomes dangerous to the wliales, as recently shown in an accident to the western Brazilian cable. There was some trouble with the wire, and after many futile efforts the 6eat ct the trouble was discovered 70 miles north of Santa Catharina. The repair ship Viking was sent to repair the damage, and began to take up the cable near where the seat of trouble had been located. After tho cable proper had been grappled and was taken up on the large drums provided for the purpose it was found that it floated very much easier and was more buoyant than was ordinarily the case. The reason was discovered when in a loop of the cable the carcass of a whale of more than 60 feet, in length came up with it. It appears that the whale 'had become caught under the cable, and, not being able to lift it nor to go forward or back, it suffocated, since It could no more rise to the surface. By its last spasms or attempts to free it self the whale had damaged the- cable so that the insulation was rubbed off and the vrire became useless. This is the third case of the kind, since a sim ilar case once happened in the Persian gulf and another on the Peruvian coast. PEACEFUL BY NATURE. The Egyptian Abhors Warfare, Did HI) Fathers Before Him. The ordinary Egyptian is by instinct utterly .opposed to military life. The last thing he wants to do in the world is to fight. He hates the pomp and cir| cumstance of glorious war, and nothing iu his nature is appealed to by the idea iof strife and combat. He is a good-tempered, pleasure-lov ing man, and for 5,000 years his ances tors before him have loathed the clash of steel. Co back as far as you like in Egyptian history and you will never find a trace of the Viking spirit in the inhabitants of th® Nile valley. The suc cessful wars of the Pharaohs were waged by mercenaries, and the papyri show that the military calling was always described as pure evil. The reo ords show little delights in battle, but plenty of picturesque contrasts between the horrible miseries endured by the soldier in the field and the pleasant, snug life of the civilian tribe. The spirit of the old Dane who when he felt death approaching put on his armor, because he would not die like a cow in his house, has no echo in the past or in the present of the true Egyptian. REBUKES FROM THE BENCH. Lord Chief Jnatlco Krle Gently Blta Dm on th* Counsel. Lord Chief Justice Erle was prone to Interrupt counsel when it was found that the judges had already made up 'their minds against him. On one occa sion Mr. Bovill, Q. C., soon afterward made a judge, was stopped with: "Hera .we stand, four men, and we have all firmly (emphasizing the adverb) marto tip our poinds that there must be anew .trial but if you think it worth your while going on after that (playfully), why, of course, we'll keep on hfarlng you." Whereupon the Q. C. laughing ly sat down. On another occasion he Interrupted with: "I beg to inform the counsel 'there is a time in the mind of every man at which he lets down the floodgates of his understanding and al lows not one more drop to enter and that time in my mind has fully arrived." Th* Next French Census. The visitors who are lr^ng in hired villas on tho Riviera are* all to be in cluded in the next French, census. Among those who will fill out the 6en eus papers are the queen of England, the empress dowager of Bussia, the czarowitz and her two youngest chil dren, the grand duke and duchess of Hecklenburg-Schwerin, the duke and duchess of Parma, the duchess dowager of Coburg and Lord and Lady Salis bury. The king of the Belgians, the prinoe of Wales and other birds of pas sage in hotels or yachts will be ex empted. Bank Hotel Make Good Fuel. The novel spectacle of a steamer's furnaces being fed with bank notes was recently witnessed at a Mediterranean port. Forty sacks of the apparently Valuable paper were tossed into the fur nace under the longing eyes of tho stokers, who stood restively by with an evidently burning desire to possess themselves of At least a handful of that which they somewhat inelegantlystyled "rum fuel." TIhe notes were canceled notes of the bank of Algiers, whose manager superintended the operation of their absolute combustion. Sto Couldn't Walt. When Mme. Melba was in Washing ton recently ehe met Speaker Heed in the capitol. "Why don't you have a fight here?" she said to him, in laugh ing protest. "I would much rather see fight than hear'a speech." "Then, why didn't you let me know you were coming?" said Speaker Eeed, gallantly. "I would have had a fight for your spe cial delight, and if you will only wait will go on the floor and start a row this minute." But Mme. Melba couldn't wait, and the speaker's offer came to naught. Just for the Sight of Blood. Every bull killed in a Mexican bull, fight is allowed to gore two horses if he will. The Mexicans love the sight of blood and applaud frantically when the poor horses are torn open. The horses used for the purpose area most miser able lot. The owner gets three dollars in Mexican money for each horse sent into the ring and $12 additional if the snimal is killed. A Mexican dollar is worth about 55 cents in American money.
