Law Still Enforced.

HAzLEToN, PA, April 12.--Mar-

thing is quiet. The Miners Associ-

Flood i'm Minnesota Wreck
and Ruin.

MINNEAPOLIS, April lO.--The
river here yesterday rose three feet
an hour. The steamer Minneapolis
was torn from her moorings and
totally wrecked by the flood. The
railroad bridge was torn away; the
tressel-work Of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis railroad bridge destroyed,
saw-mill submerged, piers ruined
and thousands of feet of logs lost.
The rivers and banks are full but
apparently falling.

Character i'm the Political
Market.

We believe it may be reokoned
amongst the good signs of the times
hat the people and the press are
more jealousy scrntinizing the char
acter of men spoken Of in connection
with responsible officers. In debating
the availability Of Hypothetical candi-
dates for the Presidency mere ability
or party services are not given undue
weight the character Of the men
named is brought under keen and
critical review. The idea has formed
a Judgment in the public mind that
too much indifference has hitherto
been shown in regard to the charac-
ter of persons chosen to fill places Of
honor and trust. In the years sue
ceeding the war, the man who was
most blatant about his loyalty got
pretty much all he asked for, besides
taking good deal without saying
ssBuy your leaven to anybody. There
was a pretty crop of impudence and
rascality as a result Of fit soil and
zealons culture. We have entered on
different times. The great body of
American citizens begins to think the
national good name Is Of some value,
and high handed sharp practice mall
sorts Of places, municipal, State and
National, has given the pocket nerve
a wholesome warning, and made it
more sensibly alert. Character be-
gins to court. 1t no longer sutfices to
say Of a man lie is q good Republi-
cam 'sHe is a staunch Democrat =
The people want to know what man
ner Of man he is. What's his record
for honesty, purity, consistent fair
dealing and liberal judgement. The
President Of the United
States soon discovered by the
tone Of the press when he was casting
about for a suitable person to fill a
vacancy in the Federal. Supreme
Court, that people were becoming
more exacting in regard to appoint
ments, The elections within the
past year emphasized that fact. The
estimates formed by the people Of
men now public, filling offices Cub
ernatorial, Congressional, Judicial,
take character into account and
are generally sound estimates.
We assert therefore, that ia
have q good character still carries
weight in this country. In the midst
Of tremendous political excitementsa
brazen demagogues may ride into
power on the swollen current, but Sc
lections for important positions are
being made with more care than they
were few years ago, and the party
caucus which thrusts bad men for
ward, invites and will probably incur
rebuke at the polls. The people are
| in no humor to be trifled with and
| politicians of "the baser Sort may
as well take back seats.

The wheat gamblers Of Chicago
have got up another corner, and the
price Of that grain has been advanc-
ed about ten cents per bushel. The
pork dealers of the same city have al
80 been seized by the speculative fe-
yer, and the tendancy of prices is up
ward. Concerning the advance in
wheat, it is claimed there are good
causes for it, chief among which is
the long and severe winterjust ended.
From every point reports are coming
in that the winter wheat has been
smothered. The sudden thaw and
rains in the latter part Of February,
followed immediately by heavy sleet
and intense cold, have been mainly
instrumental in killing or smother
ing'' as it is called, the great quanti-
ty of winter wheat planted all over
the Western country. In some parts
of the country the farmers are plow-
ing up the fields sowed with wheat
last fall. This is the uplands. In the
lowlands, where there is some mois-
ture, there is hope Of a partial crop,
but not one-third Of a crop exists In
the entire Northwest. SO runs the
story Of the grain operators, who pro-
pose to make a good thing out of the
present quickening in business cir
cles.

A sharp reply is made by the Ger
man Government to the petition of
the Bishops who uttered from the
Fulda Conference a protest against
withdrawal of the State grants to the
Church. The answer is Bismarkian
in its sententious sarcasm. In effect
it is that that the Catholic ecclesias-
tics in Germany have forfeited all
rights to support from the State,
which, indeed, would be justified in
treating them as positive enemies
rather than passive foes.
