IXCOXSISTKNT ORGANS. Times go by turns, and the revolving | wheel cat-ts off many ludicrous Incon sistencies. This is particularly true with reference to the shifting positions necessitated by American politics. An amoving exemplification is furnished by the Republican newspapers of this state j in their discussions of lowa politics. A year ago, when the Prohibitionists were assailing the hi^h license la v of Minne- j sota, tin- Republican organs were loud i and bitter in their denunciation of all who maintained that prohibition was a mote successful temperance measure ! than the high license system. Now that i the lowa shoe happens to be on Hie i other foot and the Republicans of thai ! Ftaie occupy the ground that the Pro- ; hibitiouist-j occupied in this state one j year ago, the leading Republican i papers of Minnesota are vehement In their support of prohibition, anil ; profess to think that the Democratic ; proposition to substitute hUh license ; for prohibition in lowa is an outratrc ' against decency and morality. There i was a notable Illustration of this change of base in the Sunday's issue of the i Minneapolis Tribune, in which there ! was labored editorial effort to demon strate the wickedness of the lowa ]>;-m --ocrats for proposing to enact a hijrh. c use law in place of the prohibitory statutes now in force. If the Prohibi- i tion leaders want good campaign litera- t ture to be used against the Republicans i in this state in the next election, they I will cut this Tribune article, out and paste it in their hats. It is the most forcible exposure of the high license sham that we have y«t seen: but what i puzzles is to know why what is sauce j for the Minnesota goose should not also be sauce for the lowa gander. If high | license is the thing it is cracked up to j be by the Republicans of Minnesota, ' we wouid like to know why it wouldn't i be a good thins for the people of lowa. There is an apparent inconsistency about this tiling that we would like the I Tribune, and the. other leadinfcßepublt- [ can papers of the st:it^. to explain. ] HIGH-PBICKII PICOPERTT. Bailroad Magnate Hi ntingtox has the reputation of beinc a pood judge of investments; yet there is an apprehen sion among his countrymen that he is a reckless buyer when it comes to pro viding a husband for his daughter. Prince LLvtzfei.dt was put in the market at 52,000,006, and it is said that Mr. UcsTiNCToa lias concluded to buy him at that price. The young lady who is chiefly interested in this transaction first went over to Germany, and. after Inspecting the property, pronounced it a good investment But to make assur ance doubly sure, Mr. llitntixgtox ■went over himself, and, having sized iip the Uatzfeldt offer, is satisfied. Prince 11. \TZFELr>T is not a race horse with an Axtoll record, as many lano rantly suppose, but he is a man— or, at least, an apology ft r one; and yet Mr. fluxTixc; rox is going to buy him and make a .son-in-law of him. The terms of the sale are 1800,000 spot cash, or enough to clear up the young man's gambling debts, and the remainder of the $2,000,000 to be paid in solid Ameri can railroad securities. This is a mod deal biirsrer price than negro slave traders ever paid for colored rentle men in the Soutn in th«; old drys, but princes are scarce in An. erica, and con sequently come hiuh. Still, there are philanthropic people in the world who are lousing for the time when human beincs will cease to Dc regarded as chattel property, whether they be Ger man princes or Guinea peasantry. M :\V XEWBPAPBR BUILDINGS. Western enterprise is infectious. The East is catching it In fact, it has al ready spread from St. Paul to New York. Inspired by the Globe's ex ample in building the first decent news paper office in the country, two of New Fork's greatest newspapers, the Times and the World, have been encouraged to build mansions for themselves worthy of the inmates. The Times has just <».• cupied the magnificent new quarters which it literally built over its own head, while the World has just laid with imposing ceremonies the corner stone of an edifice that is to be the pride of the metropolis. Those superb pict ures of the Gi.obk building which hang in the editorial rooms of the Times and the World doubtlraa suggested to their proprietors the necessity for following the spirit of Western enterprise. We are also gratified that our missionary labors in newspaper building nave borne fruit right here at home. Our neighbor, the Pioneer Press, is hanging window curtains and mopping the floors of its splendid new building prepara tory to moving in. Tttus the good work goes, and we hope to see the day when every newspaper in the land will be v comfortably housed an ourselves. THIS SUBSIDY FKAIU. It was a terrible Wander In Cckxis to allow that man Wimas a cbancc to cut a word into the ear of the other America delegates at Niagara. The great object was to instill into the minds of the visitors the subsidy business as the only relief, and WniAK tells them that the idea of hiring men to bring in dear goods will not work. The influence of the conference is wanted to enable steamship companies to obtain from congress subsidies for opening lines to the South American countries. This is the only way for Mr. Bi.a.ixe and the protectionists to effect anything with out endangering their Chinese wall. To concede freer commercial relations with South America would be an admission that the Democrats are right in ureing a euneral tariff reduction. This subsidy would be paying people to bring goods in the face of a tariff designed to keep them out. No very valuable extension at commerce could be had in this way. IHKIOWA vAMPUGV The j olitical situation in lowa is really becoming interesting. Hereto fore the cap. tire of Holland by the Dutch would have been as stale news as a Republican victory in lowa, and Democratic campaigns were inausa rated more for the purpose of preserv ing the form of parly organization than with the expectation of succe&s. Bat j the situation presents a different aspect ; this year. The Kepnblicau leaders no ; longer seek to disguise their appreben ; Eton that their state ticket will be ■ i eaten, and they have been compelled I to do what they have never felt the necessity of doing before— of calling on the administration and the national ' cummittee for help. The revolt in the i Republican ranks airainstniTCiiixsox, I the Republican candidate for governor, has grown to aluruiiiig proportions. I The fanners' Alliance, which is a .-trons: organization in lowa, has i not only formally derlared against HuTCHnrsoN, but has is.sueil a circular i in which his legislative record is pub ; lished. and which shows him to have I always been the active and consistent ; champion of the railroad interests in the many memorable battles between the farmers and the railroads in that state. The Republican state committee (Voided not to attempc a refutation of the charges against II in juxsox. be cause the legislative journal sustained them and a denial was useless. Where upon the Cedar Knpids Gazette, one of the most inlluential Republican papers in the state, immediately demanded the withdrawal of Hctchissoh from the tkset and the substitution of Lari:a bes or some other man who was known to be in sympathy with tlie farm ers. This demand for Bvtchix sox's withdrawal was joined in by influential Republicans from all parts of the state, but the sbite committee refuses to act in the matter, preferring to risk defeat with IlrTrii- Eicsoa than to assure victory for the party with any man who is opposed to the monopolies. The Democratic can didate for governor is an old-line Re publican who quit the party a few years ago because of its radical course on the liquor question. He is in accord with the fanners on the matter of railroad legislation, and being an able, honest man, it will not require a very great stretch of conscience or a strain on con victions for a Republican fanner to vote For him. That the Democratic state ticket will poll as unusually lartre vote this year is admitted by all. That it will be elected is confidently claimed by the Democrats and conceded by a num ber of the most, astute Republican poli ticians. The situation is so serious for the Republicans that Senator Allison has found it necessary to take personal .supervision of the canvass, and is said to be working night and main to save the legislature from the general wreck that is expected at the Kovemlier elec tion. It (seven being hinted by Uutch lkson's friends that Ai.i.isox is playing false to the state ticket In his anxiety to save tlit legislature. There are those who assert that it would t»e to Aijj s<>\"3 Interest to have lowa placed in the list of doubtful states, and that if be can secure hi* re-election to the sen ate., his ehaneea for the presidency will be promoted by allowing the Democrats to elect their state ticket. Alusoh's s?reat obstacle to the presidential nomination last year was the ar gument that a candidate must be taken from a doubtful state, and hence 11 a KuisoN was chosen, when Alusoh would have been preferred if he had only hailed from a state where the ma jority was not always on one side. If it is once understock! that lowa is de batable ground, the effect will be to boost Allison as a future presidential possibility. In view of all these facts, Democratic victory in the state of corn palaces comes within the range of prob abilities. I'nless tne revolting faction can be whipped back into line, wnich doesn't seem to be probable, the Demo crats have more to count on in lowa than in Ohio. THE OLD SIOIiY. One of the papers makes the recent death of a pnnninent citizen of Pennsyl vania the textjor a discourse upon the fact that gooa men are all dying off. The fact has been a current one tor a considerable time. Good men have been dying off ever since there were any to die. It is, tin the whole, best that some of them should drop out, as it is much easier to see their virtues after they have taken on spiritual wings. Then, if there were only good people in the world, it would make life terribly monot onous. Then would be no vicious va riety. About half the people in the more minieious communities would have nothing todo. There would be no police, no pn-achers, no people eloping with wrong parties, no men trying to set their hands into wrong pockets, and small needs for congress or boodle poli ticians. It might be conceded also that people not good in any positive sense are dying off, too. _ AN EAACJGKKATIOX. The failure of crops In the county of Miner, in South Dakota, on account of which there have been solicitations for relief outside of the state, grows into a general fact as it spreads over the coun try: and as well informed a paper as the Philadelphia Inquirer, in an appeal for aid to l>e sent, expresses the general impression in this: "tjoutli Dakota already lias in pros pect a famine winter. The crops have f;tiled, and the farmers, many of whom have nothing else to depend on, aie lacinsr a long winter with little food and little fuel -tor in that country the crops that furnish food fun. ish fuel also. There is plenty in the land, but here and there a spot, like these Dakota prairies, is pinched with famine/ It \i believed that any serious short age in I'iops. such as to afford insufli cient subsistence, is found in but a -iugle rather small and purely agricult ural county in South Dakota. The crops in the main were fair, though perhaps not quite up to the best figures, as there was some lack of rain. An occa sional local condition in any part of the country produces a similar result, and I'xciles ny disparaging comment upon the locality. This does not seem to be the case in the more westerly regions. The limited loses its limitations. The misfortune of a neighborhood or county is taken as the prevalent fact in a state une-thiid largo than Illinois in area. Miner is a small county in area, with about .'.,lM' population, and two years ago raised f»82.000 bushels of wheat and about half as much each of coru and oats, besides 13.J.000 bushels of flax. It HJE SAINT PAJTL TaAJLY GLOPE: IT KJ3AY MOENING, OCTOBER S2, 1889. is a region of small farms, the average being less than seventy acres. Some of them may be owned by new settlers or those so accustomed to good crops that they made no provision for failure, and are now somewhat short of supplies. The state could better afford to furnish them relief than to have appeals go abroad, as the exaggerations do immense damage to the country without distinc tion of locality. Emigrants are. not likely to come to a state reported on the verge of famine. There should be, now that the state machine is inaugu rated, some channels of relief for all such oases, and not ailow them to be paraded abroad, to the detriment of the entire state. PULLKIi'S WISDOM. "I will not allow my name to be used in that connection," was the emphatic way in which Chief Justice PUIXKB spoke when he heard that some over zealous Chicago friends w r ere booming him for the presidency. That is ri»rht, Mr. Chief Justice; just stay there. Not that you are not qualified for the pres idency, or would not make an available candidate. Uut it would be the spoil ing of a mighty good judce if you should get the presidential bee in your bonnet. A man on the bench has no business hankering after the political offices. And then it is a greatei honor be a good chief justice than a bad pres ident, or even a tolerably good one. Washington- and Lixcolx may live longer in history than John MabshaUh but we doubt it: and it is absolutely certain that no other presidents ever built such enduring fame as the men who have adorned the place that Mr. Fn.i/Ki: now occupies. The chief jus tice has made a good beginning, and if he can keep his fool friends from mix ing his name up with partisan politics, his place in history is assured. FOR A BQI7ARK ISSUE. One of the most significantindications that the Democrats have got together everywhere is the fact that at the recent gathering of Democratic clubs iv Phila delphia the name of > r. Raitdaix was received with manifestations of dis favor, while Cleveland was warmly applauded. There was no personal feel ing in the matter. It was simply that they have ceased to follow the lead of a protectionist, and are squarely for tariff reduction. It.is not many years since they accepted Mr. RAITDAU. as their leader, and kept step with him in the support of high tariff policies. In 1884 they were strongly for their able, locil statesman for president. They were in fected with the Pennsylvania idea. But they have been learning from the object lessons of burdened and failing indus tries, and the scales have fallen from their eyes. The educational work is not stopping at party lines. A GOOD ÜBLBCTIOK. The Democrats of the Ninth New York district did i.ot have a man who c >uld till Suhskt Cox's place in con eress. But they did the next best thing by picking the choice of the material on hand and nominating Amos J. CUM xcras as Mr. Cox's successor. It is a district in which a Democratic nomina tion is equivalent to an election, so that Mr. Cvmmings will probably have a walk-over, as Mi. Cox. was accustomed to do. Mr. CrwMixos is a very bright journalist, and the two years that he formerly served in congress demon strated bis capacity to deal with public affairs. The bloody old Ninth made a wise choice, and we predict that the Empire City will have no abler or more faithful representative in congress than AMO> Cl "MMIXf.S. Tun Pan-Americans, who are coming I this way, are probably not very familiar ] with Sunday law or legal prescriptions I restricted to water, but it must puzzle : them to be given Sunday banquets and general junketing in the capital of the j'uritans. and in the commercial me' ' tropolis of New Hampshire, where the ' !aw has for twenty-five years prohibited J the use of liquors, to ste the wine sraue- I Kled under the name of ginirer ale. At ' Portland, Me., however, there was no i disguise, and all beverases flowed | openly. At Chicago yesterday they perhaps found the first decorous Ame'r j ican Sunday. The question as to whether the win ter is to be a mild or a severe one is be coming sectional, international and an imalistic. The Connecticut wishbone makes the winter even warmer than the last, with scanty carnival weather, while the Canadian oflieials and scien tists assert that the infallible muskrat is preparing for one of the coldest winters on record. The muskrat has a better reputation as a weather prophet than any goose or part of a goose, or any other poultry. It will be the safest to goby the mu»krat in this climate. Germany has been introducing smokeless powder into ils armies, but an English invention proposes to not only do away with smoke, but all odor of the powder. This new explosive is called cordite. The experiments show that it is to be the explosive of the fut ure, both for small arms and artillery; provided, of course, that some Ameri can does not strike upon something still better. Pbeachkb Thomas in Chlcatro thinks the devil is a relic of a superstitious and unintelligent age, and the St. Paul pul pit where he discoursed when here as serted yesterday that no infidel would lie damned for his opinions, but his trouble, if any. would come from being a bad man. Is Bob bransoLL a good man, and will he find repose in Ar.K.v ham?s bosom? Tui: Hartford Times, the leading Democratic paper in Connecticut, op posed tne election reform bill now in operation in that state, but it says it is a complete success and not open to the objections it had urged. It does not impede voting, and gives every man a chance to vote to suit himself, and not some one else. It is evidently a retorra. A performing kkar drew all the crowd the other day from a Republican meeting in Virginia where Gen. Ma hone and Julius Burrows, the Mich igan spellbinder, were the speakers. The bear was no doubt a Democrat, and wanted to crush out free speech. A congressional committee should investi gate the outrage. Qlay is believed to be really working for Washington for the world's fair, while looking pleasantly at times toward Chicago. At the federal capital it would be lamely under Republican auspices, and some party dividends might be had. Chicago and New York are the leading Democratic cities. Home one lias invented an attach roent to the telephone called a tele srraphophonc for short, which keeps a record of telephone calls. It will en able a party called np, who loses the connection or is not in, to find out who wanted him. This will relieve him of a good deal of annoyance. As OYOTBB scare over the ravagC3 of the starfish is perhaps preliminary to a corner or advance in prices. A con gressional committee has been watching this enemy of the popular fish, but It is feared that an act of congress will not exterminate it. The papers comment upon it as some thing of a new departure in putting Skth Low, the young business man and ex-mayor of Brooklyn, in the presi dency of Columbia college. He is capa ble and scholarly, and a man of pro gressive ideas, as shown by being a tar iff reformer, and this is the most sig niiicant feature. The colleges and men of culture- seem to be gettinsr right on the commercial and industrial lines. Protectionists may draw upon their subsidized pockets to endow collegiate chairs to inculcate their narrow ideas in political economy, but the drift 1a past them into the more liberal and In viimg arenas. A clerical title is not es sential to the best management of a great literary institution. Tin: effort of those Republican manu facturers in New England to have iron ore, pig iron, coal and coke placed on the free list aggravates some of those who still stand on the Republican plat form. One of them indignantly ejacu lates: "If those New England iron and steel manufacturers are not out-ann-out free trade theorists in everything, they are more fools than hogs, if that is possible. They should be well aware that the break in protection they ask for will upset the whole protective sys tem." No doubt it would, and the com mercial and industrial interests would then have broader fields. It tjskd to worry some people who had peculiar notions because Mr. GucVKLAJni would have wine on the table for guests who were always ac customed to it. It has not been noted that that they have indulged in dispar aging grimaces over the "gorgeous bowls of Dirndl" that were so conspic uous at the banquet at the White house to the Pan-American congress. It was rich and strong, and the president did not manifest any singularity in his treatment of the enlivening element. But probably a more exemplary regi men is exacted of Democrats. The Argentine Bepnblic has been se curing a good deal of Europeau emigra tion of late by its special inducements, but it has ono drawback— it has the largest debt, for its numbers, of any nation in the world. This is due to ex travagance and bad management. There has been an immense amount of specu lation and looseness in financial mat ters. Gold is about as much a stranger to the currency of the country as it was to the government issues in this coun try at a dismal period of the war. Tlie population is about as large as that of New York state. In the eleven months ending with September this country exported beef. bos and dairy products amounting to 191,214,000, an increase of 50.000.000 over the same time the year previous. The dairy products sent aiiroad the last five months were nearly ?8.(M)!i.OOO. The farmers evidently do have some interest in prices abroad. Thomas Reed, the Maine candidate for speaker of the house, figures up ninety-two votes in the caucus, a good majority of 168. McKtSLKT has about the same number, and the other two candidates and the dark horses expect a good many votes. The Ohio man is the favorite in the West. The English may not take much in terest in the American eagle, but they like the other United States bird that does duty at Thanksgiving, A recent steamer took out 700 eases of turkeys. But there will be enough lett for the November festival. A srEAKKK before one. of the national reformatory gatherings recently stated that there were ftn.ooo boy tramps iv tiie United States. That in iv be a compan ion piece to the chestnut about (jO.OOO drunkards dropping Into graves every year. Tin-; Black Hills interests will have a valuanle friend in congress in Amos 2. Chmmin'os, the successor of Mr. Cox. His recent visit to the Black Hills has made him an enthusiastic believer in their tin and other mineral resources. The advance movers in the American board of foreign missions were de feated at the meeting the past week. The old board was sustained, and the heathen must take the regimen pre scribed heretofore. The duty on "The Angelus" is $32,500. 50 per cent of its appraised value. In consequence of this it is bonded six month!) for exhibition, and will not re main in the country. This protects native art, of course. If the Farmers* alliance moves as a body in the direction indicated in lowa the Republicans may well apprehend danger for their state ticket. They are badly stirred over the situation. Takheb doesn't mean to lie still, if he, too, has been thrown over the breast works. He is kicking pretty lively for a man who has lost his feet. STATE SENTIMENT. All for the Old Editor. West Duluth Sun. Several of the editors in the state are in tavor of Maj. Newson for governor ou the Republican ticket. The very same editors, in fact, all of the editors in this state, signed a petition and sent it to Blame, Harrison & Co., requesting them to give the old editor a consular position. It was put in the waste paper basket, because Harrison had to find positions for all his relatives and Blame had to follow suit. Now Maj. Newson had earned recognition from the Repub lican party. Justice to McGill. Todd Argus. This question of justice to McGill Is quite an ancient chestnut. The party owes him nothing, and the people owe him nothing. He was chosen chief ex ecutive of the state, and served his time. If the party saw fit to choose another man after his term had expired there was no injustice done McGill in doing so. That he would accept the nomina tion if offered him is not to be doubted, but as to his getting the offer there is considerable doubt. Fishing for Indians. Red Lake Falls News. A new ami interesting feature in Min nesota and Dakota politics will be the Indian voters when they assume their rights of citizenship by accepting the allotments, and break op tribal rela tions. There are about 5,000 male adults iv South Dakota, and as many in this state who will soon be voters. Their vote will douotless be a unit; and in the gubernatorial contest may be the deciding factor. Now, who can say but that Ames wa9 fishine for this vote when he abused the Irish? A Question. Kanabec Times. Has anything been heard from Will iam Pitt Murray since Doc Ames' Irish brick hit him? AVrth a Great Head Oracevi'Je Transcript Andrew R. McGiUevidently Is watch ing the tide of events pretty closely, for when he saw that Ames made a bad break by jumpin? on to the Irish, he lost no time in squaring himself with them by saying a few words in their praise. There is a man with a great head. : ":.*.f Can Give I- acts. Glcncoe Enterprise. A few of the Republican papers of this state cry "prove it" in regard to the cry of "boodle" against Merriam. If the facts are brought out, as they will before another campaign, they will be anything but pleasant for Merriam and his friends. . The fight is not our own, but yet we can give a few facts if they are called for. Keeps hem Busy. Montevideo Commercial. The time of the average Republican editor is pretty well taken up just now firing boodle charges at the governor and dusting off the little tin gods which were laid on tie shelf convention time a year ago. mounting them on wheels and rolling them into the arena again. This Is Major Newson. St. Peter Herald. [ No office in this state could lend ad ditional luster to his brilliant record, and his friends should allow him to live as he always has lived, a pure man with a name better than that of gov ernor. STOLEN BY A DKTEOTIVE. New Business tor One of the Xon- Sleepers. Peobia, 111., Oct. 21.— Three times during the past month Pennock & Put nam's notion house has been entered by burglars, and in all about £1,800 worth of goods stolen. The last visit was made Friday night, when SI.OOO worth of cutlery, silver plate, etc., was taken. L. F. Morse, a detective, was suspected, and yesterday Chief of Police Gorman and Capt. Mooney went to his house, and accused him of the thefts. After being closely questioned for a tew min utes, Morse admitted the crime, and promised to return the goods if he were, not prosecuted. _ The Winona & Southwestern. Special to the Glob». : Winona, Oct. 21.— The Winona & Southwestern Construction company held an important meeting with closed doors to-day to hear the report M. G. Norton and H. W. Lamberton, who re cently visited New York and held a con ference with Joseph Walker & Son, the financial agents of the company in New York. The directors decline to give up any news, but it is learned that the im portant point considered was whether to allow Walker & Co. an extension of time to secure the funds for completing the road to Omaha or raise the money else where. Tha last of the 1.100 tons of rail for the present extension were shipped from Scran ton, Perm., to-day. Senator Stewart Kissed. Virginia (Xev.) Chronicle. A prominent resident of the state cap ital was a passenger on the V. & T. ex press at the time of the visit of Senator Stewart to Carson after the mint ap pointment had been made, informs the Chronicle that on the arrival there of the train it was boarded by several prominent appointees, who threw their arms around the venerable senator's neck and kissed him to express their gratitude. One of the officials who attempted to slobber over the senator's patriarchal beard was repulsed with the remark that his breath was offensive. The senator is said to have avowed that he will have every male appointee removed who adopted the oscillatory method of ex pressing his gratitude. Can't Be. Overlooked! Harper's Bazar.

As the vespers have finished, kneels slowly to pray. The sons in my heart that with laughter was laden Dies out ere it got to my lips in a moan. And in place of some lines to a dreamy-eyed maiden. * I find T"ve been writing to as* for a loan. —Sam S. Stlnson. HILL IS A HUMMER, New York's Governor Talks About His Trip to the South, Pats the Southrons on the Back for Bravery and Hos pitality, Says Kind Words About the Probabilities of a Pros perous Future, And Will Expect All Their Votes in the Election of 1892. Albany. N. T., Oct. 21.— Gov. Hill was interviewed to-day upon the sub ject of his trip to Atlanta. Ga., and his impressions of the South. The governor said he had never been further South than North Carolina before, and al though he had heard and read much about the prosperity of the region, what ho saw was in the nature of a revelation to him. He was particularly struck with the widespread feeling of hopeful ness which he saw everywhere. "The people of the South," con tinued the governor, "not only the rising generation, but also these, the greater part of whose life was passed under the conditions existing before the war, seemed to be thoroughly recon ciled to the new conditions, and to be enteritis enthusiastically into business and manufacturing enterprises. If there is any longer any prejudice asainst the importation of Northern capital and brains, I did not observe it. There is naturally a feeline of aversion to those Northerners whose chief pur pose in the South is to stir race prejudices, by political man ipulation, but 1 am sure, from what I saw and heard, that all who take up residence in the South with the sincere motive of helping to develop its indus tries and sharing its prosperity will re ceive a hearty welcome. The resources of the South are certainly illimitable, and the be st feature is that the South is thoroughly conscious of them. The growth of cotton mills, the development of the iron mines and the increasing NETWORK OF RAILWAYS with which Mr. John 11. In man had so much to do. all surprised and interested me exceedingly. The race question is h serious one, but I am inclined to think it is working itself well. With the growth of industries there is an increas ing demand for labor. The white pop ulation thus far has furnished most of the employes in the mills and factories, but this is limited in number, and with the spread of manufactories, negro la bor will be in demand. It is not to be expected, in the present condition of things, that the two races will work side by side with entire absence of fric tion, but there are many influences at work to diminish the danger of clashing between the black and white. I saw the black men and white men laying bricks and doing carpentry side by side, and working together on plantations, and I shall not be surprised to see them in a few years employed together upon work which requires more skill and intelligence. The Southern peo ple are even more hospitable than 1 thought they were. Nothing could | have exceeded the cordiality and warmth of our reception in everyplace where we stopped. Somehow the people practice the art of entertaining in a neater de cree than the people of the North*. There is no coldness or stiffness about their manner, and they have a delight ful faculty of making a stranger feel perfectly at home, and they are a race of orators. I have not listened to so much eloquence in a long time as I heard in our few days' experience down there." "What are your im pressions, governor, as to the loyalty of the South?" "There is no doubt of" THE SOOTH'S LOYALTY to the Union. The people would not restore slavery if they could. All ref erences to the IT. lion were loudly ap pbtnrted, and the American flag wa-i un furled everywhere. I saw no evidences of attachment for the old order of things, and I did notice, what to me was both welcome and significant, a general effort to avoid the expression ot any sentiments which might give offense to Northerners. With such a spirit taking possession of both the North and South, it cannot be long before every vestige of sectional feeling is erased. In all our receptions, the only thing I saw which, even by a stretch of imagination could be considered as suggesting the Con federacy, was the six grey horses which carried us to the exposition grounds at Atlanta, and I am surprised that some of our Northern newspapers which seem to have forgotten that the war is over did not profess to see in this a sure sign that the South still has designs upon the Union. What I gathered from talking with Southerners I met was that the Soata wants to be let alone. She wants encouragement and assistance from lx>th the capital and the business ability of the North, but she does not want to be treated as a political dependency, and she does want to be allowed to man age her local affairs according to her own ideas. Her people are brave, gen erous and ambitions, and I believe a great and prosperous future is before them." SHOT BY A BLUECOAT. Unprovoked Assault by a Xew New York, Oct. 21.— tor the second time within a week a police officer is charged with shooting a citizen, and is held to answer. Shortly before 11 o'clock to-night, Officer Patrick J. Morris, who was on post, entered the saloon at the corner of West and Al bany streets, owned by John Campbell. Officer Moody accompanied him. William Campbell, the owner's brother, was in the saloon, and had his overcoat on pre paratory to closing:. In his overcoat pocket he had a thirty-eight caliber re volver. Morris struck his hand against Campbell's side pocket, remarking as he did so: "You had better put that pistol behind the bar." "Why," said Campell, "should I leave my revolver here when I have a permit" to carry one?" Then to justify his action he showed a bag of money which he bad just taken from behind the bar, and was carrying to his home. Officer Morris reiterated his advice, when Campbell passed behind the bar and placed the revolver on a shelf. He was immediately followed by Morris, who, calling his brother officer to the end of the bar, put Camp bell nominally under arrest, on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. He then walked to the other end of the bar and taking the revolver from the re ceptacle where it had been placed, returned remarking: "1 will bill you dead." Repeat ing his declaration he placed the revolver to Campbell's right shoulder and fir*-d, the ball entering just above the collar bone and inflicting a serious, if not an absolutely dangerous wound. The officer claims the shooting wa3 done in self-defence, but if the testi mony of the ten or twelve persons who were in the bar room is to be taken, there was not the slightest justification for his assertion, Morris returned to the station house and was held by his superior officers to await the result of the investigation into the shooting. Wants His $2,000,000. New York. Oct. 21.— A writ of habeas corpus was obtained in the su preme court to-day by Aaron Ku tin to nave Amos Cross produced in court.

Washington, Oct. 21. — An interest ing case was before the treasury depart ment Saturday. It related to a draft recently submitted as a voucher for its payment. Several months ago the uen siou agent at San Francisco issued a check in favor of a pensioner, but ne glected to fill in the amount. The not over scrupulous recipient, however, did it for him, but instead of putting in the proper amount, (about S18) filled it out for something over 91,300. Jle presented it at a bank in Nevada, properly en dorsed and as there was apparently nothing: wrong ab^tut it, received payment to its face value. In the regular course of busi ness, the bank transmitted the check to Wells, Fareo <& Co., its San Francisco correspondents, for collec tion. It was then presented to the as sistant treasurer and that officer paid it on the strength of the indorsement of Wells, Fargo & Co. The fraudulent character of the cheek was discovered soon after aiul the assistant treasurer made demand upon Wells, f'argo & Co., for repayment of the money in axcess of the real value ot the cheek. They de nied all responsibility in the tranaction, and refused to comply with the de mand. Subsequently a treasury draft in favor of \Vell9, Fargo ft Co., for an amount mucli greater than was involved in the other transaction came into the assistant treasurer's possession and in making payment upon it, he deducted the amount of overpayment on the pen sion check. Wells, Fargo <fc Co. natur ally objected to this, and having unsuc cessfully tried all other means of com pelling the assistant treasurer to deliver to them the full amount of the draft, at last instituted suit for its recovery. Tliis suit is now pending, and applica tion was made to the treasury depart ment for the original draft for use as evidence on the trial. After some de liberation, the department concluded to grant the application, and yesterday the u raft was mailed to the assistant treas urer, with instructions to insure its safe return to the department opon the con clusion ot the trial. Nothing is known as to the whereabouts of the dishonest pensioner. _ AFRICANS AROUSED. They May Some Time Get Angry to a. Decree. Washington. Oct. 21.— Rev. W. B. Johnson, colored, of the Second Baptist church, preached a sermon here yester day in which he likened the negro to Samson, and told the members of his race to secure homes in the South and West and prepare to stay in them, even if every inch of land must be defended with Winchester rifles. The neirro was learning the lesson of organization from the socialist and the irishman, and twenty years from now would not be the docile being of to-day. "The negro," he concluded, "has been building for the whites long enough. It is time to build for himself. He cannot be exter minated or intimidated. He is the blood and bones of the nation, and it undisturbed will do no harm, but if stirred may grasp the pillars of our civ ilization, ami. like Samson of old, in his death null down the temple of liberty." Jlev. George W. Lee, also colored, of the Fifth Baptist church, preached on "Southern Outrages,'' and ail vised the negroes to strike back when they were assaulted, or their wives and daughters wronged and insulted. The civil rights bill, he said, iiad always proved a fail ure, and the only thing the negro got from either party was promises at elec tion lime. It was useless to seek re dress from congress, for two-thirds of tliLin were sinners, ana the other third drunkards. DUIjUTH'S TBMPIiS OPERA Opened With an Attendance of Over 1,200. K:ial to tlio OloDe. ui.lth, Minn., Oct. 21.— That the great new dramatic temple is Dulnth's pride, found sufficient assurance in the throng that gathered this evening to participate in it's great "first night." The scenes on the- oc casion were impressive enough, and if additional evidence were needed that the temple is a success and really a Kit amusement palace the occasion ai ul y supplied it. From the avenue massive pile, illuminated by nearly thousand incandescent lights, lented a picture few are per mitted to see. But inside the beau tiful temple, its gorgeous colors and brilliant lights; its beautiful scenery; the sweet strains of orchestral music; Miss Coghlan playimr as though in spired, and her support following nobly her brilliant lead. Indeed, it was an event in the dramatic history of the Northwest which will not soon bo for gotten. The walls, the ceilings, the draperies, the golden pillars, the rich, warm coloring of the whole interior are suggestive of comfort. The harmonious shades rest the eye and please the senses. Whether you sit in the Darquette circle, or in the very top most row of the second gallery, the effect is one which delights. In every respect the house is a success. The opening night was eminently a success, j and the Temple opera, with all its excellence of arrangement and beauty of form and decoration, | has with It the good will of the public. The attendance was 1.200. ] Judge Steams made a short speech in troducing Architect Oscar Cobb, who made a happy address. Miss Coghian, Cr repeated e»lla before the curtain, made a graceful little speech. INDBAGGEII AND KOBBED. »erience of a Lumberman in Minneapolis.
