He said: y :\'f~:. .:' '-l^-J "I i~'-;'~y~: y: . "The McKixley bill is a measure railroaded through congress for the in terests of the wealthy class and the im poverishment of the peoule. "The force bill is a measure taking from the people the control of their elections over officers and for the estab lishment of a -'"plutocracy of wealth against a government of manhood and conscience." And yet the five Minnesota congress men voted for both bills. That is what they have done. •--. -. '■'.:■- » HOLD THEM TO IT. As the members of congress from this state, who voted for the election or force bill as it passed the house, are to come before the electors and exploit their of ficial services upon the slump, it may be well to invite -them- to elucidate some what in detail the- features of the meas ure they . supported. Much has been said about it in a general way, but there Is a great lack of information as to the sinuosities of the machinery, involved and the real purport of the scheme. It is not altogether satisfying to the dis trustful to assert that it "seeks only to make pure elections." -An epistolary controversy has for some time been go ing on in lowa over the subject be tween Mr. Clauksox, the late postmas . ter general, and Leoxabd Bkown, of ■ that state, which is said to have excited intense interest in lowa. Mr. Clakk bos defends the bill, and pronounces it "the greatest question now "before the public." Mr. Bbowh seems to be a Republican who cannot go further with the party. He believes there are mill ions of other Republicans who will leave the party when they fully realize the iniquity of the project. In his view it is "the most revolutionary measure that ever passed the house of repre sentatives," and was rushed through with the most discreditable haste, in spite of the fact that its champions pro-, nounce it the greatest question before . congress or the country. He finds that it is a pamphlet of seventy-two : printed pages, introduced on the 14th of June iiyd but one copy for each member print ed, ''for the evident- purpose of Keep ing its contents away from the people." Jts consideration was commenced June 20 and liie bill forced to a vote by gag ging its opponents and the tyranny of the speaker on the PA of July. It is not surprising that Mr. J3rovot and all right-thinking citizens should be indig nant at such a record, even had the • bill been ; less- voluminous or important. He concludes that only the seven judges can fully fathom its intricacies, but that it virtually puts . the federal judges in absolute control of the elections to which the bill applies. His words are that "this bill destroys republican gov ernment, and makes the judges of the United States courts as absolute in their power over the people as a Roman pro consul in the days of the Caesars." He adds further: "Of the federal courts, twenty-five are Republican and two are Democrats. There can be noth ing but corruption under such a system of elections. The candidate will have to bribe the corrupt judge to place his name on the ticket. The judge be comes a dictator, for 'The decisions of feaid judge shall be final."* This is a measure for which all the Republican candidates for congress :in this state voted, and for which they fchould be held responsible, .V ■ ■ — — m ' ■ " • z" WILL COST MOKE. > The impression that the great advance of late in canned fruit' is due to the coming tariff on tin plate is not' quite* warranted. . '• hat tax is not yet in oper ation. There has been a general par tial failure of most of the "articles canned, aud in cases where there is the usual supply the advance is due to sym pathy and fashion. All feel the rise. There has been no failure of fruits on the Pacific coast, yet they have ad vanced in price from 40 to 50 per cent. Canned corn, tomatoes and all fruits largely put up in the East have jumped up long notches. Apples and peaches have more than doubled In price. It will cost most people considerably more to live this winter than it did last, even if a new and higher tariff were not to come in to add to the expenses of con sumers. FARMERS. THINK OP IT. It is hard to tell whether Uncle Jerry Rusk understands the tariff question too well, or doesn't know it well enough. He made a speech to the Ohio Alliance the other day, and if he understood the purport of his remarks, he managed to give an awfully black eye to the Mo Kixley bill. He told the Ohio agri culturists that the price of farm products was regulated by the portion exported; or, m other words, that all of the farm ers' sales are in a free trade market, but all his purchases in a home pro tected market. Accepting Uncle Jek r.Y's statement as correct, it oughtn't to have taken more than three grains of sense to the man for all of the Ohio farmers to see that they have no use for the Republican high tariff. The wonder is that Uncle Jerry, be ing a cabinet officer in the Harrison administration, should have stumbled onio such good, sound Democratic doc trine in his Ohio speech. That is why we suspect he didn't fully realize the force of his statements. They make ex cellent wine down in Ohio, and we have half a notion that Uncle Jerky, who is a man of social turn, had been around among the Buckeye farmers, sampling the product of their vineyards. There is au old Latin maxim, "When a man is in wine he is truthful." And so it must have come to pass that while Uncle Jebry was under the cheerful influence of Ohio grape juice he discarded his ad ministration training and for once spoke the honest sentiments of his heart. Whether so or not, tie spoke the truth, and spoke it weli. He spoke a truth that the farmers of Minnesota, as well as those in Ohio, can study with profit. The same truth was forcibly expressed in the platform adopted by the Fifth district Democrats, which says: "This system of high taxation has im poverished the agriculturist not only by adding to the cost of whatever he is forced to purchase, but also by causing foreign nations, in self-protection, to retaliate upon America, and seek else where their supply of food products. Hence it is that the exports of the United States in cattle, corn and wheat, and all other agricultural productions, have constantly diminished during the pact ten years, while new and extensive wheat fields have been placed under culture in Russia. Egypt and India. The best customers for the wheat of America are the nations whose products are barred out by our robber tariff. We exclude Uie manufactures which are of fered in exchange for the products of American agricultural labor, and then mutely wonder why wheat declines in price, why cattle are becoming less and less valuable, and why distress among all classes of laborers finds expression in strikes and lock-outs." HOW IS THIS ? How is it now, Mr. Window, about the foreign exporters having to pay the duties on imports? That is what you and your party have been saying they wouid have to do. If so, why did you dump that $50,000, --000 out of the treasury the other day to meet the duties on imports? The foreign exporters didn't furnish that $50,000,000. It came from the pockets of tlie farmers and the wage earners of these United States. It is a co'.idition of grave danger, any way, when the treasury department is so gorged with dead cash.that it can dump §50,000,000 into the'money market in the course of a fortnight in advances of interest and the payment of unma tured obligations. The Republican protective tariff is re sponsible for this danger. The constitution contemplates that the treasury shall simply be the ma chinery for the receipts and disburse ments of the government. Under Republican administration it has become a side table to the stu pendous gambling game going on in Wall street. PLEASE LET UP. Notwithstanding the insane efforts of the Pioneer Press to prove the contrary, St. Paul is a healthier city than Minne apolis. The latter's health record is excellent, the mortality beine as low, or lower, than any other city similarly sit uated. But St. Paul has some natural advantages, which are conducive to health, possessed by no other city in the world. Our natural drainage is one peculiar advantage, and the purity of our water supply is another. Yet in spite of these facts the Pioneer Press printed a column and a half of statistical matter in its editorial column yesterday which will carry to the outside world the impression that Minneapolis is the healthier of the two cities. The Minne apolis people have never made any such pretension, so we see no reason why a St. Paul paper should take a nonsen sical course, even though it be done under the pretense that it is exposing census crookedness. Tlie fact is, the Pioneer Press has gone daft on the census troubles. The whole thing is over now, and done with forever. Whether just or unjust the returns of the recouut will, forever lemain as a part of the census figures of 1890. We have reached a point where righteousness shall be righteousness still, and unrighteousness shall be unrighteousness still. Things will stay just as they are, whether they be good or whether they be bad. All persons who have their wits about them realize that there is no use in kickine against the pricks, and with the best possible grace are bowing to the inevitable. It is to be hoped that our Robert street neighbor will recover its reason sufficiently to make no more such breaks as it did in yesterday's issue. The welfare and future prosperity of St. Paul demand that somebody be muzzled before any more harm is done to the city. A NEW CENSUS. In view of the recognized incornpeten cy of the census bureau and of the numberless complaints that are coming up from all sections of the country re garding the census returns, the New York World demands that the whole census of 1893 shall be retaken. It is unnecessary to say that this demand meets with popular approval. It is a lamentable fact that the enor mous amount expended by the govern ment in census taking this year is virtu ally thrown away. The evidence is now so strong as to the inaccuracy of this year's work that, if even its results were approximately correct, they would be valueless because they arc profound ly discredited. The work has been so blunderingly, and in many instances so unfairly done, as t© make the census statistics for this year worthless as a basis for future estimates. And when we remember that census statistics are the things ou which social science and THE SAINT PAUL PALLY" GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, JB»rj. ail systematic efforts in behalf of prog ;ress depend, we realize how important i :itis to have " something ; like accuracy, or at least something: that will not be ■ wholly discredited. Ifl^gjfcjg Hence, we add our opinion to that of the World * that the government would ; be justified in having the whole census taken over again. A census accurately made is amply worth the cost. Then it will assure to the several states a just representation iv congress , and in the electoral college. " Presidents can then be elected fairly, and there can be no ground for dissatisfaction with the po litical "complexion of congress. But with such a census as Mr. Portkb has taken for us nobody will be satisfied. It confuses vital statistics, sets all calcula tions wry, and -in a hundred ways its inaccuracy will be a fruitful source of evil. EBSlfßfiiftfflßß If we could have a new census taken under the direction of a superintendent r whose capacity and fairness are beyond d oubt, the country would not begrudge; the additional expense. We say very frankly, however, that we have no hope of getting another census. The present administration is too hide-bound in .; its ; partisanship to be willing to correct its own mi stakes," or to do anything that will reflect upon its own agents. It will go ahead and publish the "mass of : al ready discredited statistics that Porter has jumbled together, and the country will get a set-back from it which will not be overcome in;the ' next three dec ades. WHAT? What have they «Jone? TV refer to the live Minnesota con giessmen. What have they done for Minnesota? Nothing. Yes, they have. They have voted to increase taxes and oppress labor. They have helped to scatter the sur plus everywhere but in Minnesota. They have helped to create a treasury deficit without Minnesota being a dollar the better off for it. They voted to take the tax off whisky and tobacco. But they voted to increase it on woolen goods, which we need so much up here in Minnesota during the winter months. Under the plea of protecting home in dustries they voted to tax camel's hair as wool, although it is not grown on this continent outside of a strolling circus.- Mighty statesmen, these five con gressmen are. WBfjW What have they done? A DANGEROUS OPINION. I A railroad man who has been identi fied with railroads and ■ familiar with their interior economy for the past quar ter of a century recently made the state ment that it was his mature judgment that if railroads were managed on the same principles as private business, where there was capacity,' prudence, economy and only legitimate operations, they could carry passengers at 1 cent a mile and freight at 1 cent a ton per mile. If the name of the man were made public, it would ruin any chances he may have of being made a member of the board of railway commissioners under the present ; administration in this state. To verify his theory, it is appalling to think what a flood of water would first have to flow out of the stocks. It would sadly impair one of the greatest of industries, the produc tion of millionaires. ; The pastor of the orthodox church in the town of Wells, in Mr. Reed's dis trict in Maine, has been making trouble. A Mr. Maxwell, the richest arid most influential man in the church and town, sat in the voting hall on election, day with a pile of bills and note book, and -bought all the votes in the market openly. On 'the next Sunday this im pudent parson discoursed on the sub ject, narrating the facts and that he was himself a Republican. He , was not timid in his denunciations of the trans action as immoral and iniquitous, a crime asainst society and good govern ment, and the man a subject for disci pline by both church and civil law. He does not seem to have realized that such methods were needful for the suc cess of Reed and the progress of the party of reform and moral ideas. . : Captious Democrats insist that Ven able . should have been allowed to re tain his seat in the house simply because " he had 675 more undisbuted votes than the man given his place. The Mahone element had bolted and given about 3,700 votes to another man. Had they voted for Langston, he would have been elected; therefore, he should be seated. A stronger reason was that no colored man had been let in among the dozen or more contestants, and the colored brethren were getting off their political base. The voting done by the people cut no figure. . , • ->»_ : Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, is the author of •, the phrase, "The Decalogue has no place in modern politics." Prob ably he regards politics and business as so interwoven as to apply the principle to both. In the recent inquest over the defunct bank at Abilene, Kansas, the ; president testified tint it had done a thritty business for. Senator ingalls buy up . the - notes of '■ embarrassed farmers at 18 per cent discount. There is somewhere in the Decalogue an inti mation that acquirements made in this way have an immoral quality. ~ -«B»- — One of the Edison light expositors, who is indorsed as an authority on the subject, has been to . Philadelphia and proposed to stake his reputation as a scientist on his ability to construct an electric motor that will : take a train to New York in thirty-six . minutes, or at the rate of 160 miles an hour, and he be lieves that will be done in the next ten years. It requires a special road, nearly an air line, with : heavy rails and cars. But Philadelphia people are not inter ested in fast travel. They are conserva tive. ,_' \ Jerry Rusk seems to have lost faith in his scheme to irrigate dry lands by exploding bombs in the air. But* an other aspiring scientist -has secured an appropriation of $2,000 to try to bring down the waters by r sending" . dynamite up in balloons. If he makes a success of it, the process is likely to be too ex pensive for general use by farmers. . The tariff commission that in 1882 was in pursuit of information on protective principles was forced to conclude that in the decade ending fifteen years after the war, and with all the impulse of the war tariff "the growth of industries had not more than kept pace with the growth of population in the United States." - A New - York paper is dicovering that there is a spotty time in solar quar ters, with big storms raging, and that they augur . dryer and colder seasons for 1891 than the past year has afforded. It is quite as safe to guess that the New York guesser guesses guesses that may be euessed not good guesses.

A Joke on Ex-Gov. Samuel T. Hauser, of Montana, Hauser. received recently a mysterious package, which was the subject of much curious interest before it was opened. It was marked ali over "Handle carefully," and, at first, Mr. Hauser thought that some friends had been playing a prac tical joke on him. Then visions of dynamite passed through his brain, and lie thought of getting some one else to open it. Dismissing the latter thqorv as foolish, however, he proceeded to open it himself. "This surely is a joke," he said, as Ihe pulled off roll after roll of wrapper. "Handle carefully," was found in scribed on each sheet as it was unfolded. Persevering, Mr. Hauser finally dis closed a small piece of quartz and gold ore. It turned out to be some samples of a new mine recently discovered by one of his friends. The sender des cribed his mine as "the richest yet dis covered." "It is a peculiarity of all ne\ply discovered mines." said Gov. Hauser, laughing. "Each one is 'the richest yet discovered.'" Mr. Hauser said the package contained about one dollar's worth of gold ore. Effect of the Gov. Job E. Cooper, of Colorado, has been Silver Bill, in New York for a week." He is a stoutly built man of fifty, with a full face aiid plump cheeks, a large black mustache and the air of* a prosperous business man. He was a lawyer by profession, but droppea its practice for the banking business and was for years before his election as governor the cashier of a large bank in Denver. He is not a can didate for re-election, although he has had but one term. In chatting about Colorado affairs he said among other things: "The silver bill has been of great valae in stimulating affairs in our state. In the first place our silver product has been in creased in value by the rise of silver from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 per annum. New mining camps have been opened, and mines which were not being worked have been reopened. On the streugth of the silver bill alone the Rio Grande Southern railroad decided to extend its construction between Dallas and Dur ango, a distance of 160 miles, to open up new silver fields. With the passage of the McKinley bill, under which our lead, coal, iron, wool and copper are protected, Colorada will be on the very high road to prosperity. We ara pro tectionists out in the mountains, but we believe in the protection theory that would cover the entire country. We do not want one state protected at the expense of another " Chicago Fair So George Davis is to run the Chicago fair! Director. Did you ever run across him? To use a slang expression, he is the slickest citizen that Slickville ever produced. As couuty treasurer he handled the finances and the politics of the Windy City for years in a way that would have turned some of the Tammany manipulators green with envy. After getting a solid mort gage on the Republican organization in Chicago, Davis blossomed out as a state boss, put Fifer into the field as the party's candidate for governor, and then quietly relegated Logan's veteran cam paigner "Long" Jones to the rear and assumed command himself. He is a man of tireless energy and endless resources, and a match for the heathen Chinee in ways that are dark. He will own the fait before it is well under way, and when opening tlay comes — if it ever does come — the country will be flocking to Chicago to see "George Davis' show," instead of the then forgotten world's fair,. Altogether, Chicago seems to be getting up the prize sham of the century. SOUTH DAKOTA POLITICS. If Senator Moody wants to make an ass bf himself before the august body of which he is, unfortunately for South Dakota, a member, he can do so. But it majr be stated with positiveness that the , owners and managers of the Yank ton Cement works have not asked for any. "protection" for their products, nor will they. All they will ask for will be freight rates that do not discriminate against them, and an open field and a fair fight. -Mr. Moody must fall back upon the "tin" of the English syndi cates. — Yankton Journal. « -* "What will the total vote be?" was asked of the "sure-enough" governor. "Less than last year. It was 7G,000 in all, I believe, iast year. I do not be lieve it will be over 70,000 this falk Of the 76,000 the Democrats had 25,000. They won't poll over 15,000 this fall. We will get 10,000 of this old 25,000. Of the 50,000 Republicans we will get over half, probably 30,000, giving us a ma jority of 5.000, or a plurality of 20,000 over the Republicans." With this last statement the reporter left Mr. Louck, thinking that he cer tainly was very confident, not to say misguided and misinformed, as to the final outcome of this fall's election.— Louck's interview in Sioux Falls Press. # * Why do the Republicans in congress, why do Pickler, Gifford, Pettigrew and Moody vote to put binding twine upon th*e free list?

The Republican bosses boasted before their county convention was held that no man with even a suspicion of prohi bition attached to his garments, should have a place on their ticket. They even said if prohibition was recognized by any nomination they would not support the ticket.

D., Independent - Reason, like time, makes its way, and political prejudice must stand aside. Human affairs have theirebbs and flows in contrary directions. The sun needs no inscription to. distinguish it from darkness. It is equally plain there is a turning of the tide against high protec tion,' on account of the monopolies which it fosters, which benumb the ■ whole some order of nature." Men begin to ask themselves why should we bow down in superstitious ignorance of it. sacrificing our mental manhood and. our financial interests, -imposing ..: upon ourselves by voting to sustain the cause of com plaint. Monopoly is foreign to govern ment, like ; monarchy and aristocracy are to a free people. . When taxes ;of any nature need an apology beyond, the necessity of government," the apology is their impeachment. The duty of the Republican party is to strike at the root of commercial injustice by proper legislation. Either that or our party is close to its Waterloo. We admonish'the party to rise to the occasion instead of increasing the tariff on manufactures, thus bowing to the beck of monopoly, so much so as to estrange prominent senators like Plumb, of Kansas, who bolted the increase proposed in the McKinley bill— a measure that he declares has the support of every trust and monopoly :in the country, and which increases rather than diminishes the burden of popular Complaint. As sure as "coming events cast their shadows before," the deser tion of the party ; by. good Republicans to join the Alliance, an s organization that demands a reduction of the tariff, furnishes "the handwriting on the wall." Properly interpreted and com plied with, the • Republican party may enjoy, the loaves and fishes— which too many. of its members care most about— for decades to come. Blame sees the danger ahead, and by reciprocity of trade with other nations seeks to avert it. This idea was attached to the Me-" Kinley bill as au amendment in the sen ate.

They represented ' the progressive ideas of their constituents, ignoring desires and commands of party bosses who work in harmony with the great trusts and . monopolies that op press the farmers and . the people gen erally—caring only to satisfy. their own greed in the way of extortion. As we have formerly remarked, the Republi can, party is divided on ; the tariff issue. This division is : not , confined to con gress; it is more widespread among the rank and file, and will be more manifest at the polls in November. The morning of political reason, which is the forerunner "of - politi cal revolutions among enlightened people, is . at \ hand. ,■ Light and reason cannot be kept from the people by party curtains, no more than thought can be: bridled.

Bad Faith of the Republican End of the Citizens' Com mittee. Alliance Movement Fright ens the Republican Mana gers Into a Meeting. Political Happening's of a Day Chronicled for Globe Readers. Where is the citizens' committee and what does it propose to do in ihis cam paign? These are questions which at least one of its nominees and his friends have a right to ask and demand an answer. As is well known, the senatorial nomi nees of this committee were indorsed by the Democracy of Ramsey county in the expectation and with the distinct un derstanding that the Republican county convention would do likewise. But with the Republican organization of this city bad faith and crooked political work seems to have full sway, aud, after indorsing Messrs. San born and Dean, the Republican nominees on the citi zens' ticket, H. F. Stevens was named for the senate in the Twenty-eighth district, and a diligent effort was made to find a man to oppose Hon. Charles H. Lienau in his district. This fell through, and now Hon. C. H. Benedict is the only one of the nominees of the citizens' committee who must fight for his election. This he has decided to do, although on llis return from a foreign trip he found that Mr. Stevens had diligently im proved every hour of his time since the Republican convention, and now has every ward heeler in the district in his employ. Ihe least this so-called citizens' com mittee can do is to set out and help Mr. Benedict in this fight. A failure to do this will prove what has all along been asserted— that Gen. San born and sev eral others of this committee were sat isfied to sit down when their demands for offices for themselves or friends had been granted. Mr. Benedict is just a trifle warm over the way the citizens' committee has acted, and yesterday issued the follow ing circular letter to the voters of his district: To the voters of the Twenty-eighth sena orial district: Kamsey comity will this year elect four state senators. Measures of the greatest importance to our city must be passed upon by the legislature about to oe chosen. Realizing such fact, miiny of our leading business and professional men formed an organization, known as the citi zens' committee, for the avowed purpose of securing the nomination of men who should properly protect the interests of this com munity. Many names were suggested and canvassed, and the committee finally named as our four senators Hon. John B. JSanborn Hou. \V. B. Dean, Hon. C.H. Lienau and my self. When the Democratic convention met it indorsed all of said nominations, presum ing that the Republican convention would take like action. lufluenees were brought to bear, however, on said convention, which led it to indorse only the two gentlemen first named, who are Republican in politics, and to place candidates in the field against Mr. Lienau and me. who are both Democrats. Mr. Lienau'ti opponent refused to run, and, as the result of all the aforesaid facts, lam (he only senatoriHl nominee of the citizens' committee of tne Djmocratic party who has to make a contest. Inasmuch as all of the steps taken thus far were taken durip.g my absence from the state, my first impulse was to decline a contest which, by peculiar man agement, had been arranged not wholly to my advautiige. but after mature deliberation I have decided to accent the challenge from the persons responsible for it, whoever they may be. and to rely upon the honest voters of this district to see that justice and fair play are accorded me. I represent no corporation or ring, and shall give no pledge other than that, if elected, I will do everything in my power to advance the interests of my constit uents, and loyally defend my adopted city against all comers. A residence of nearly eight years in this district and of many years in this state have made me sufficiently well known to you, and I know tnat my friends and neighbors of the Midway district aDd country wnich is my home will be willing to Touch for me. It is with confidence thai I asK your cordial support. Very respectfully, C. H. Benedict. Sept. 23, 1800. The excutive end of the Republican state central committee held a meeting at the headquarters iv the Endicott yesterday afternoon and spent the day in looking over the lists of those who need to be '"seen" because they are "a little out of line." Those present were Chairman Heatwole, Secretary! Bixby, Senator C. B. Buckman, John Goodnow, D. M. Clousrh, F. E. Kynaston, J. A. Tawney, A. J. Greer and" W. W. Rich. The evening Merriam organ an nonnces that Capt. Joubert learned long ago to undergo "long and weary marches." This is fortunate for the captain. It is very likely, however, that he will find out before long that as a candidate for county commissioner on the Republican ticket he has under taken the longest and most wearisome march of his life. The Jefferson Club of Minneapolis is enterprising as well as thoroughly Dem ocratic. Last evening a committee of this club, consisting of Dr. Ames, Col. M. W. Glenn and D. B. Johnson went to La Crosse to try and persuade Congressman Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, to deliver a speech in Minne apolis next Monday evening. Mr. Mill s spoke at La Crosse last evening, and is booked tor several more speeches in Wisconsin. He opened the campaign at Racine several days ago, addressing an audience of over 5.000. In case the efforts of the .Jefferson club are attended with success the Monday evening rally will be one of tlie greatest meetings of the campaign. Tlie Alliance campaign committee has made the following appointments for Rev. George M tiller: Austin, Oct. 4; Lyle, Oct. 6; Le Roy. Oct. 7; Grand Meadow, Oct. 8, andVVaseca. Oct. 9. Hon. W. W. Erwin has also been given another appointment, Preston, Oct. 11, The meeting of the Afro-American Independent club, at Masonic hall, 371 Jackson street, promises to be inspirit ing. It has been stated that there are a number jof colored people who will or ganize opposition to the re-election of M. J. Bell as register of deeds. Attor ney AlcGhee and some other colored people have decided to take a hand in the matter, and will ?ttend the meeting to-night for the purpose of opposing such a movement. Mr. McGnee said yesterday: "1 think the result will be that the meeting will organize into a Republican club." The fact that Reg ister Bell discharged a colored employe of his office is set up as the cause for the colored disaffection. The bad, bad Democrats is tho sub ject of a campaign document now in process of incubation at the headquar ters of the Republican state committee. Thi3 circular was decided upou at the meeting of the executive committee yes terday, and is aimed to meet and defeat the Farmers' Alliance movement by asserting that it is simply a Democratic side issue. Further on the assertion will be made that the Alliance is com posed of two classes. First— The rascally leaders, all of whom are Democrats. Second— The innocent and well-mean ing dupes, all of whom are Republi cans. In view of these two points all the Republican farmers will be asked to fall in line again for the grand old party. Just how much this will bolster up the cause of the Republican party is hard to see, for when the farmers receive this document they will think they must be getting pretty strong when they are able to turn the fieht of the Republican leaders entirely upon the Alliance movement. There is, of course, just one thing that the Re publican managers would like todo, and that is to turn and twisi this fight into a straight contest between the two old parties. If this could be done then they feel assured that prejudice would do the rest. But circularize and denounce as they will, and are doing, Messrs. Heatwole, Uixby, Buakman and the rest cannot .cet away from the fact that this is ;i three-cornered contest, and will be to the end. The Ninth Ward, Democratic club held a large and enthusiastic meeting at the cornet or Fourteenth and Jackson streets last evening. Alderman Gelian presided and the entire I>emocratic ticket was heartily indorsed. The club has secured five halls and will hold meetings in each of them, thus making a .circuit. David Fitzgerald, H. C. Ehrmantraut, A. N. Nelson, B. A. Walsh, and several other well known Democrats made stirring speeches. The Ninth ward campaign may be regarded as opened. IN SOCIETY'S REALM.

How He Explained fcho Way He Came in Possession of a Sheep. Courier-Journal. Near Fayetvifle, Term., shortly after the recent cyclone which did so much damage in that state and Kentucky, old Jed Tompkins, colored, was hauled up before 'Squire Nason for stealing one of Col. Ballentyne's sheep. Before the trial the 'squire, the col onel, Jed and several others were loung ing in front of the 'squire's dingy littie office, all hands, with the exception of Jed, relating incidents of the terrible storm; the 'squire winding up with a tree on his farm from which the wind had stripped the bark, and the colonel "seeing" this with a brick wall on his place through which the tornado had driven a wheat straw. On the trial the evidence was all against Jed, the colonel identifying the sheep, which had been found hanging up on Jed's back porch. "I'll have to hold you. old man. un less you can explain how that sheep came there," said the magistrate. "Cain't 'splain, 'Square," Jed an swered. "Wen I got up in de mawnin' dat sheep was jes' layin? dar." "And you don't know who brought it there?" "No, suh— 'lesan de cyclone blowed it dar." "Aha ! 'Lesan de cyclone blowed it dar, eh? And did you ever see a cy clone that could skin a sheep?'' "No, suh, I cain't say as 1 has 'lesan 'twar dat same cyclone what peeled 'Square Nason's tree and driv the straw throo Col. Ballyntyne's wall." The 'squire pulled up his specs and took a long look at Jed, and the colonel arose and stated that he would not prosecute the case further, as this was the first cyclone that had ever blown any of his property into Jed's posses- PIANOS^ S8 PEOPLE We make a specialty of a reliable and excellent line of Pianos at MEDIUM PRICES.
