ed the reporter, determined to keep on the
right side of the proprieties which seem to
govern this business of wheat speculations,
''What foundation he has for the faith that
ls in him in regard to this possible rise of
wheat?''
''As said before, Mr.. Keene keeps his
own counsel. In general may say it is
thought there will be considerable export
business, and the wheat will accordingly be
IN great demand
Further than that MIR. Fisher said not.
WHAT KEENE SAYS.
James r. Keene was seen personally later
in the day, and in reply to an inquiry dis
claimed all intention of running corner in
wheat. He has purchased about 1000, 900
bushels of the grain, paying cash therefor,
which would require about $3O0OoOO. He
has paid from so to IS cents per bushal, and
intends to store his grain and wait for better
times. Hestated to the reporter that he had
certain amount of money to invest, and
accordingly bought wheat, thinking that to
be better investment than the stock mar
ket. Mr.. Keene emphatically denied that he
was interested III any special movement in
wheat, and reiterated his former statement
that he had invested his money in wheat be
cause he thought it was safe, and int nded
to hold the grain until spring.

suppose that the brass kettle had been ac-
cused of being thing of life, which of its
own yolltion engaged in a swindle. These
tests are simply blinds to conceal the real
issue. That issue is whether the brass kettle
IS a device which can be dishonesty handled,
no matter how accurate it may be of itself.
Ihe most brazen member of the wheat ring
will not deny that the brass kettles can be
dishonesty manipulated, and with that adj
mission every opponent Of the saindling
brass kettle stands fully indicated.
We can assure the public that while the
GLOBE very properly used the swindling ket-
tie as factorin the late campaign, it did not
raise the cry as campaign dodge. And be-
cause the campaign is ended, the brass ket-
tie IS none the less Objectionable. 1t is q
swlndling device which is robbing the farm
ers daily, and it must either be absolutely
abolished and driven from the State,
or the manner of handling it
regulated by law in such manner as to pro-
tect the farmer from the wheat ring. The
wheat ring know that with the meeting of
the Legislature next month, the war on the
sWindling brass kettle will be renewed with
yigor, and they are simply hedging with
their tests.

IT seems to give Bill Kings paper terri
bic spasm to be obliged to mention the fact
that such place as st. Paul has an exist
ence upon the map Of Minnesota. In refer
ring, yesterday, to the effort of the ST. Paul
and Pacific and Northern Pacific to grasp
the trade of the Red River valley, it speaks
Of the legitimate market OF the products of
that section, "the cities of Minnesota and
again speaks Of the "cities'' that lie at the
terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad.
But one city, and that St. Paul, is connected
directly with the Red River region, and lies
at the terminus of the Northern Pacific rail
road, and the effort of Bill King to ignore
the fact and to make it appear that another
city has claims to that trade must be es-
pecially pleasing to business men of st.
Paul, who have fed the p. p. for years,
and raised it's proprietors from poverty to
afluencs.

GIANT sTHYDAy roe sT. psEL.


Never in the history of the State has there
been SO much accomplished for St. Paul in
the way of railroad development in a. single
year as the present one has afforded. The
development has been so immense that our
own people scarcely appreciate and grasp the
situation. During the current week the
British province OF Manitoba has been linked
by rail to st. Paul. Though the business of
that region is already large, the development
yet to come, is almost beyond computation.
The railroad will hasten that development
with immense rapidity. When we look back
to the era OF the Red river OK
carts visiting st. Paul once
a year to exchange furs and hides
for goods, the journey occupying several
weeks, and contrast it with the present era,
whereby St. Paul is brought within twenty
four hours Of that heretofore distant region,
We begin to form some idea of the transfer
nation. Il is almost like adding the trade
of another Minnesota to that which we al
ready possess.
Another great stride forward was the Sc
curing of the absolute and permanent ter
minus Of the Northern Pacific road at St.
Paul. This giant enterprise, which in few
years will span the continent, necessarily
terminates at a metropolis. II St. Paul was
but hamlet, the terminus of this road
would make it o city of great proportions
because so much would follow in it's train
Other roads must center and all kinds OF
business must be transacted at the terminus
Of such a line of road.
Thanks to the energy and capital of the
st. Paul & Pacific management, st. Paul is
not only the terminus of the Northern
Pacific, but it is the practical terminus of
the Canadian Pacific. Instead of building
the line through an almost impossible wilder
ness to connect Manitoba with Canada, the
present outlet Yi0 st. Paul will be used, and
the Canadian Pacific will be pushed on to
develop the fertile regions OF the British Pos
sessions, and two continental lines Will, here
at ST. Paul, meet the trade OF the world and
exchange commodities.
While the city handling this immense
trade need have no fears OF her future, there
is still much for st. Paul to do to add to her
greatness. She needs saw mills and more
Touring mills and more employment for
labor generally. Our commercial pre-
eminsnce is assured, but it can be greatly
strengthened by manufacturing enterprises,
and works of various kinds, which will give
occupation for labor the entire year. There
should be no divided counsels, but united
determination to make st. Paul
the giant city OF the new
Northwest. Her railroad advantages already
place her beyond competition, but that is not
enough. There are but four great central
cities i'll the West, and these are Cincinnati.
Chicago, st. Louis and St. Paul. All others
are mere tributaries to these four. The posi-
lion Of these four cities show much in COM
mon, and the city which is the terminal point
Of two Pacific railroads need not stand
fourth in the race, even with those great cen
ters of trade.

TIE KILLERS HARMED.

The Millers are evidently alarmed at the
expose which has been made.o the swind-
ling brass kettle, and are preparing to make
an effort to prevent it's abolition by the leg
islaturo. The latest movement in behalf of
the swindling kettles was at Mortified,
where the proprietors OF the Ames' mill in
stituted comparison between the kettle
and the standard half bushel. A number of
citizens were called together to witness the
test, and the brass kettle was found to be
capable of doing honest work.
The Mortified Nail, with flaming head
lines, announces triumph for the swindling
brass kettle, but it is interesting to notice
how its own report demonstrates the swindle.
After showing that when the kettle is filled
lightly the wheat weighs less than when
filed as a bucket would ordinarily be filled,
the Mail says:
Of course, like figures, when manipulated by
dishonest hands, this standard measurement
is correct enough in itself we do not think any
one will deny who has given it Il fair and
thorough trial.
1t does not speak very well for the intelli-
gence of either the millers or the IfuSJ if
they do not know that the brief sentence we
have quoted admits all that was ever charged
against the swindling brass KETTLE The
matter was made an issue in the campaign
in this district because MIR. Washburn was
one of the ring which was engaged in swim
ding the farmers by the use of the kettle.
A for
swindle, and the intelligent farmers under
stood it and voted accordingly. AS the re-
suit he was beaten fearfulIy in the rural dis
tricts, and relied for his votes upon voters
in the towns who did not have wheat to soil
We ahude to this because there is
persistent effort to make it appear that all
the hue and cry about the brass kettle was a
campaign dodge. There never was q more
honest effort made in behalf the people than
in the lato campaign, and We point to the
admission made by our Mortified cotempo-
rary as evidence of the fact.
No one has ever assumed that the brass
kettle could not be used honestly. The OBJ
lection to it is that it is a device which en-
ables dishonest men to ssindle farmers in
grading grain. That is the whole
case in O nut shell, and the farm
ers OF Minnesota are every day
being swindled, to a greater or less extent,
wherever the swindling brass kettle is in use.
The miliers' ring get up test, and by filling
the kettle fairly and solidly, show that it will
weigh fairly, and point with triumph to the
result. They go into eestacies over its hon
esty, and to hear their comments one would

There is about 100000 bushels of No. 2
spring in the elevator here, and 1,5Oo, 900
bushels in Milwaukee. The receipts are
about 100000 bushels per day. If Mr..
keene and his friends contemplate running
corner, they would be obliged to purchase
all the cash wheat that will arrive in this CITY
during the next two months, and then 90
long on Decem Der options to the extent of
twenty or twenty-five millions. Such a
combination is not possible. The impression
generally prevailed, and it is doubtless the
true one, that Mr.. Keene and his friends re-
gard wheat at the present price as the cheap
est property in the market, and that the in
yestment will be productive of large profit
at the opening of navigation next spring.
This view is strengthened by the fact that
the combination borrowed in New York So
100000 for seven months at the rate of 5
per cent. Wheat was three-fourths and one
cent higher, but the volume of business was
comparatively light.
The nearest thing to an interview with
Mr. Keene, who has a profound dislike for
reporters and all their work, was a talk with
MIR. j. K. FISHER,
ono of tho brokers, after several Intellectual
attempts to get the ear of the principal.
Mr.. Fisher was at his Office, ard the re-
porter applied to him for intelligence as to
where and when, if such a thing were in the
range of possibilities, Mr.. Keene might be
seen for brief chat.
"That will be impossible, I can assure
you,' was the reply. s:Mr. Keens has said
he will not be interviewed by any of the re-
porters, and it will be perfectly useless to at
temnt to see him -
"Can you tell me, Mr. Fisher, anything in
reference to his visit here at this time, his re-
ported heavy purchases, and whether the
scheme is one in the interest of an alleged
corner, or simply a cool, legitimate, long
headed speculation, born Of faith in the
belief that wheat must go up?"
q can tell you that it is no corner, or any,
thing of the sort, as Mr.. Keene told the New
York reporters before he came away. He
has simply bought large quantity OF wheat
through his brokers, because he believes that
wheat is going up, and that it will pay

Paul from their titles. If they only knew
