As Mr. Blame has made it possible to think of reciprocity with some of the countries on this side of the water without imputations of disloyalty to the republic, tiiere is a growing disposition to use larger telescopes in looking for opportunities for barter. The grower of food products in the West applauds when effort is made to induce the repub lics to the south to swap commodities with their brothers of the big nation to the north, lt is a promise of larger traffic. Still it is noted by the growers of wheat, cattle and other farm prod ucts, that some of the regions to the south are enormous growers of wheat, and the animals that have hides and wool are remarkably prolific down there. In fact, the goods they -are likely to take in exchange for their coffee, hides, wool and other productions, will be mainly the manufactures of the East. Reciprocity is all right, but it does not" seem to the reflecting farmer that Mr. Blame could have allowed the South American coun tries to entirely fill bis mind when he wrote about new markets for flour and pork, lf the object is to enlarge sales ofthe food elements, there will be a broader scope given the vision. If rec iprocity is a good thing, why not extend it to any part of the world where it can 'be made advantageous to the American producer? This is the query that nat urally follows the proposition of the sec retary of state. As in point, France sends many goods to this country and . has room for a considerable share of the surplus grain, corn and pork of the United States. It has taken a part, but * rather meager part, of these essentials for civilized exist ence not needed at home, lt could buy J vastly more by reciprocal relations in trade. Now it discriminates against ; products of this country, influenced by the tariff legislation that it regards as illiberal. On grain it imposes a duty of 33 cents a bushel when coming from the United States and 15 cents ; on that im ' ported from other European countries. The increase of duties proposed in the ' McKinley bill is distasteful to France and other foreign countries. They will naturally retaliate, and ; the farmer in this country is the sufferer. He finds -the market abroad being closed to him more and more and the home market , not materially enlarged. If reciprocity •is to do good, it will be insisted that it Shall have a broad field. WARRING BOSSES. j Matt Quay is a' boss who will not be bossed. He has come to the conclusion that Tom Reed is soaring too high in the realms of : bossism, so he is deter mined to clip Mr. Reed's wines. Ac cordingly Quay puts the force bill ■in ".its little J bed and tucks it away for a long winter's nap just to let the house autocrat know that he- can't [always be having his own way. Principle is never a guiding star with Quay. Everything he does is done.in the interest J of self. "He hasn't studied the force bill or the tariff bill, or any other pending; legisla tion, with reference to their effect on the • industrial interests of the country or their relations to '] the constitutional rights of the citizens of the republic. lt is merely a question with him of J how 'he is able to maintain his supremacy, as a party boss. The force bill was cutting some figure in - the ~\ Pennsylvania election, and was damag ing to Quay's ticket. matter if , Tom Reed aid desert his post in the house and ; go "over to the J senate with the de mand that the bill he had forced through the lower branch of congress should be concurred; in by the upper J branch. That -was an invasion of - Quay's do main, and the invader was promptly ejected from the sacred soil ;of senato rial bossism. The one encouraging fact in all this wrangle is that when the bosses fall out honest people stand a chance to get their dues. : FIGHTING FARMERS. The indications are that the Alliance movement is going to cut an important figure in national politics this year, and that it is going to make a serious break in both of the old parties. In ; the Southern states the Democrats will be the sufferers, •_ while in :'-. the Western states the: Republicans will have -to bear the brunt of the new departure. '. • Whether or not this is one of those spasmodic movements which the J farm ers and labor classes are accustomed to,' or whether it is a movement of perma nent growth and development remains to be seen. In some respects it is simi lar to the Grange movement of several years ago, which cut a wide swath : in the Western states for a season or two and then quietly dropped out of exist ence. Yet in other respects the new movement has an appearance of solidity and permanence which strikes terror to the souls of the old party hacks, and they are in a quandary as to what is to be the outcome of the Alliance move ment. J _96SS___3 The Ohio farmers declined to put a state ticket in the field at this time, pre ferring, as they expressed it, to make one more effort to swing the old parties into line with the Alliance. Taking the platform of principles adopted by ■ the Buckeye farmers as a guide, it will be impossible for the Republicans of Ohio, under the leadership of men like Xc- Kinley and Fobakeb, to affiliate with the farmers, or even to encourage theni in their present position. It was un questionably the farmer vote that elect ed Campbell in the last state election, and the chances are that the farmer vote will contribute very largely to sending a Democratic delegation from Ohio .to the next congress. In;': South Carolina the Alliance men captured the Demo cratic state convention, and by an over whelming majority forced the Demo crats to take a stand on the Alliance platform. Practically the same course is being pursued in Texas and in Georgia. ateftJßßH Here in the Northwest, however, the farmers have decided upon a more in dependent course of action. In Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, they have broken away from the old parties and are sailing nnder. their own colors. They have had more experience here in dickering with the old parties than their Southern brethren . have, and after the same experience the latter will prob ably do just as the Northwestern' farmers are doing. Bfißfl ; Taking Minnesota as an example, the fanners of this state have for the last ten years held to the Republican party in the hope that something would be done for their relief. Successive Repub lican platforms promised all that the farmers demanded, yet in no single in stance were those pledges fulfilled. The X farmers voted the Republican ticket on the strength of the platform, and yet, at the end of ten years, 1 they find themselves more completely at the mercy of the rings and the corporations than they were in the beginning. It is no wonder they have ] become suspicious of the sincerity of Republican ; prom ises, and it is an evidence of their in telligence and T independence that they refuse to be deluded any longer/..' The farmers of Kansas arid Nebraska have had the same experience that their Minnesota brethren have, and now they are breaking away from the dominant party. In both of those states Alliance tickets have been placed in the field. There, as here, the state conventions were composed of representative farm ers who refused. to be led by the profes sional politicians. ; They struck out for themselves, and they are going to fight the ' battle on their own line of cam paigning. "'■ The surface indications ] are that the Alliance movement has staying quali ties, and is destined to become an im portant factor in national politics. At all events, it is disturbing the dreams of the politicians so far as this year's out look is concerned. There is many a con gressman now trembling in his seat for fear that the place which now knows him will know him no more forever. THE BOODIiERS' HOODOO. "The wicked flee when no man pur sueth." The proverb writer intended this to fit the Pioneer Press yesterday when it opened a vigorous assault upon Hon. Thomas Wilson, and apparently under the impression that Mr. Wilson was already the • Democratic nominee for governor, and was coming down the home stretch a dozen lengths ahead of all . competitors. It may be that way, for all we know, but the Democratic convention has not been held yet. Mr. Wilson has not been nominated, nor is there any authority for saying that he is an aspirant for the nomination. Still, a few more editorial utterances, such as the Pioneer Press gave expression to yesterday, may convince the people of this state that Mr. Wilson is the man of whom the boodle combine are most afraid. : There is only one thing that we do know, and that is, when the Democratic convention is held a ticket will be nom inated of which the. party will not be ashamed, and it will be done, too, with- . out the j expenditure of boodle. Both the ticket and the platform will be per pendicular and upright, and it will re quire no sacrifice of conscience for the voters of the state to indorse both. REED'S RULINGS. To the Editor of the Glodc Alazeppa, Minn., Aug. 13. 890.— Please answer this question, namely: Does Speaker Reed's rule makea quorum present sufficient to pass a bill or resolution if a majority is not recorded as voting in the affirmative? Please answer in your columns and save a friendly iangle. " P.D. M. Everything goes with Speaker Reed. He is a law unto himself, and when he * waves his black sash over his partisan followers they bow to . the earth and shout, "Great is Allah!" 'yyX.xXr There is no telling what he is going to rule. But as ] far as he has ruled a majority of those voting is held to be sufficient to pass a bill or resolution,, whether there is a quorum or not. He] does not rule that it is necessary to have a majority of those in] their] seats, but a majority only of those who vote 1 on any given proposition. As for the quorum, he manufactures that to . suit the occasion. _ >•- CENSUS* SURPRISES. The tips given as to the showing of . the census indicate that .

Pboctob Knott's visit to Duluth yesterday was an event of historical in-; J terest. It] was Gov. Knott's first sight of the city to which he «is | indebted for his r fame, "and it must have been some thing of a surprise to ] him to J see how. grandly his humorous vision has been realized. ;.; - . X. h .•;. J Honors are about easy between Knott and Duluth. Each gave the : other an advertisement that proved to be of sub stantial value, and their names J. will go down : into history ' inseparably linked together. *JflHHH___l ; ; Mr. Knott has more reason to com plain 'than Duluth on account Jof that famous speech. It brought him to the front: rank as a humorist, which is the • most unenviable position a man can oc cupy in public life." When a public man once gets a reputation as a wag he is expected to play the clown] all his life. Gov. Knott has spent the best part of his life trying to live down the effect of that Duluth speech, and has just barely recovered from it now:: This is the first" time in his distinguished career that he has felt free to veuture on a visit to the city with which his fame is associated. "He has no reason to be ashamed of his protege; neither has ; Duluth any cause to be ashamed of her distinguished visitor. There is no brainier man on this continent than Proctob Knott, , and but few in public possessed of such sterling qualities of character. ■'■ ~» PAR-FETCHED. - There is no profounder ass in the sen ate than Don Cameron. When asked the other day during the j tariff discus-, sion to. explain the rapid depreciation^ of farming lands in Pennsylvania, be said it was all owing to the deraonetiza- tion of silver in 1873. If he had been asked to explain the cause ,-and the course of the equinoctial winds, he would probably have given the same answer. For silver demonetization in 1873 bears ; about the same relation to one as it does to the other. . y X---..-.XX y ■. ;If Senator Camehon knows anything about political economy, of which we have serious doubts, he knows that the depreciation in the; value of farming lands in all the states of the Union is directly traceable to the high tariff and the war taxes. He knows, if he knows anything, that the McKinley ... bill, which he is anxious to have passed for his personal benefit, proposes the most outrageous robbery which has yet been perpetrated by the pap-fed monopolists. It requires a good deal of lying as well as jobbery to uphold the '* McKin ley bill, yet * the champions of - that measure ought to employ a more scien tific liar than Don: Camebon to. talk for them; THE COLOR LIVE. - It looks funny to see the color line drawn in the Grand Army of the Re public, yet the only row they, have had in the Boston encampment was over the admission of negro delegates 011 an equality with the white veterans. The wise counsel of Commander Alger and other influential leaders prevailed, and the disturbance was quieted; yet the feeling which prompted it still remains, and will probably, break out afresh at any Grand Army meeting.; .". * J It only illustrates the truthfulness of the old proverb that "blood is thicker than water." Race prejudice; is some thing that cannot be eliminated until human nature has been repealed. Race equality is a very pretty thing to talk about at a distance. But as an every day practical proposition it will not stand, the test. Whether at a Southern election or in a Grand Army encamp ment, the white man is going to assert his superiority. _ . . RANK INJUSTICE. Some fish speculators are trying to kick up a row with the honest Indians up in the neighborhood of the Lake of the Woods, because the Indians are try ing to make the fishermen comply with the law which prohibits the catching of fish with nets. And with its usual promptness for hitting an Indian when he is doing right, the United States government has started out a marshal and his posse on a hunt for the Indians, armed with warrants for their arrest. There ought to] be a stop put to this kind of proceeding on the part of the government The Indians rely on the fish in the lakes; as one of their chief sources for] subsistencp. When a gang of white men go up there in violation of law and drag the fish out of the lakes by the ton, the Indians have a right to make a kick, and the government ought to uphold them in it. , It is not the Indian, but the white man, who ought to be arrested. •■ ';-._;" ''~J'"^' '""' ; ' ;/.

He eulogized the faithful ness of the volunteer soldier and closed an eloquent address with another trib ute to the ' hospitality ;of - Boston and Massachusetts. At 12:30 the assembly broke up with the singing of Aiid Lang Syne. Aside from the sessions of the i National encampment and the women's; relief corps the JJ greater part ;of the G. A.

"This law," say 3 the report, "while not in :. the ; precise form ;':-. of • the bill presented by the committee, preserved the most important, features thereof, and while-- not just what we asked, is the most liberal pension meas ure ever passed by any legislative body in the world and will place upon the rolls all of J the survivors of tne war whose conditions of health are not practically perfect."

JOINED THE ENEMY. Gen. Vallavicencia and 600 Salvadorian Troops Go Over to Gautamala. The Allied Armies Scattered to the Four Winds by Gen. Ezeta. A Bloody Battle at Blue Rock, * Close to the Fron tier. South Sea Islanders Sold Into Slavery Under the Eyes of Britons. JuTiAPA.Guateraala, July Thirty, miles from here and ninety miles from Guatemala City are stationed twenty four pieces of artillery and 8,000 Guate malan troops. The government's troops are divided into three . divisions. First, an advance guard upon the frontier of 11,000 men; second,' a reserve guard of 4,000 at Jutiapa; third, a force of 5,000 men in Guatemala City. Hondu ras has upon her frontier a force of 15, --000 men. San Salvador has a frontier guard of 5,000 men. Her reserve force is not known. At 10 o'clock! this morn ing Gen.* Vallavicencia, of the Liberal party of San Salvador, with four pieces of artillery and 600 men, crossed the river at Blue: Rock and joined Gen. Galan, of the Guatemalan army, whose force consists of 3,000 ; men and four pieces of artillery. After crossing the river, the San Salvador troops fired upon their countryman upon the other side and a few shots were exchanged. The Guatemalan troops did not fire a shot. : ROUTED BY EZETA'S ARMIES. Traitorous Salvadorans and Gua temalan Allies Scattered. CmNGO, * Guatemala, Aug. 14.— fight at Blue Rock proves to have been more serious than was at first reported. It seems that some 2,000 Guatemalan troops came to the assistance of the lib eral force of Salvador troops, and the regular troops of Gen. Ezeta drove them back and scattered them, capturing eight pieces of artillery. The defeated troops retired to Jutiapa, their ammu nition being exhausted. The pickets of the Guatemalan troops were tired upon at Contepeque, about six miles from here, this morning. Although war has not yet been' declared, a big fight is ex pected daily, as this is the only point where Ezeta and his array can enter Guatemala: There are 5,500 troops here. 1,140 more at Contepeque, and 3,000 scattered along the frontier east from here. The force here is under com mand of Gen. Guyetano and Capt. B. Emile, a French J artillery engineer, is second in coinniany. There are twenty four pieces of artillery here, which were brought over 130 miles of mountain road by Capt. Emile. He had .to use 460 mules, besides oxen, to get the guns over one hill. The troops are in good condition and are well armed. Work on the trenches is being pushed rap idly. TRAFFIC IN HUMAN FLESH. Horrors . of the Slave Trade in Southern Seas. London, Aug. 14.— Horrible accounts are received of the slave labor traffic by British planters in the South seas. The Presbyterian mission synod in the new Hebrides has passed a resolution to the effect that "The Kanaka labor traffic had to a large extent depopulated the New Hebrides and adjoining . islauds, upset family relations among ; the na tives, and has been, and is, the cause of much sorrow, suffering aud bloodshed." A missionary named Paton reports that he had himself seen white men in' their boats taking Kanakas to a labor vessel —as the slave ships are called— forcibly lifting them on board, and when they \ tried to swim ashore they were knocked down again . and , again, until they lay stupefied on deck, and were thus carried out to sea. Those thought likely to escape are fastened with chains on board. A chief was shot dead by the crew or one of these vessels J while at tempting to protect his daughter, and a native Christian teacher was . also shot dead. J This ; slave trade Jis carried on under the protection of the British flag ■ for the benefit of planters in Queens land and the Fiji Islands. INDIA IN GOOD SHAPE. The Budget Shows a Largely In- creased Surplus. London, Aug. 14.— Sir John Gorst, nnder-secretary for India, presented the Indian budget statement in the house of commons this evening. The statement, he said, showed continually increasing prosperity. There was 'a surplus of 2,677,000 rupees, against 1,809,000 rupees last year. He proposed to devote the surplus "to the fund for the restriction of famine rather than to the abolition of the salt tax. although the latter, he said, ought to and would be abolished directly the state of the finances warranted. Stanley Tatties the French. Paris, Aug. 14.— Henry M. Stanley started for Lucerne to-day. Stanley has surprised Frenchmen by expressing the opinion that M.

As prominent Republican in Still water told us, before the convention, Washington county Republicans were not "tumoling over themselves to help elect Merriam," and "a large majority of the Republicans of Stillwater are opposed to him." The only real strength Merriam has in Washington county is what Charley Holcombe can bring to him, and Charley will have his hands full if the Democrats make a judicious nomination for governor. The Grade the Best. Polk Journal. The Pioneer Press just now is cryinu down the grade of wheat, trying to make out that there will be no No. 1 hard wheat to speak of in the Red river valley. The only effect this can have will oe to depress the price of wheat. The facts are that while the yield will not be large, the grade will be of the very best, as a rule. We have exam ined hundreds of samples, and have yet to see the first sample of off grade wheat that the Pioneer Press tells about. Queer Things. Good Templars' Paper. * Queer tilings happen nowadays. The moral reform party ot Minnesota, the great Republican party, declares for high license, a system under which liquor consumption increases more rap idly than ever before in Minnesota, as well as everywhere else it is tried.

The Democratic party can win at the coming election, but it can only be done by an honest declaration of principles. a candid announcement of its intentions and a clear business-like campaign. AU other roads lead only to defeat. NATIONAL POLITICS. A Just. Conclusion. Savannah News. . The Republican leaders are continu ally talking of the necessity for the force bill to Insure purer elections in the South, and yet it seems that they sanction an indirect use of the public money to assist one of their number in keeping his seat in congress. It cannot be said that there is any immediate ne cessity for doing the work in the Kittery navy yard that the secretary of the treasury has determined to have done. The opening of the navy yard, there fore, just about a month before the Maine congressional elections, justifies the conclusion that the yard is to bo opened for no other reason than to as sist Mr. Reed in getting a re-election. In Whom He Trusts. Louisville Courier Journal. A Republican journal says the Demo crats will find it useless to put money Into Tom Reed's district. Thomas doubtless relies upon the patriots from the navy yard, who are paid by the gov ernment for their votes. They Will Be Fully Tested. New Orleans Picayune.

The trouble probably is that Mr. Wanamaker has not put up enough money- to help the cause, tin Was placed in the cabinet because he had proved himself a liberal campaign contributor. It will not do for him to go back on his record, especially when by doing so he would incur the dis pleasure of the great boss of the lie publican party. None, If Boston Can Help It. Lowell Courier.
