denominations for Mayor and Comp
trolZer.
meeting of the Minneapolis Workingmen's
Union was held night before last, at their hall
on lower Washington avenue. Tho attendance
was large, and previous to the secret executive
session the Union was addressed by J. P. Null
ford, Vice-President Of the st. Paul Union.
Eighty-one new applications were acted upon,
after which the Union went into secret
session with closed doors. Having
determined upon an independent political
movement, it was deemed advisable to make
nominations for the Offices of mayor and
comptroller, the intention having been pre-
viously announced among the members of the
union. After some discussion upon the general
features Of the coming campaign and the
course to be pursued, the name Of ex-Alderman
Glenn was proposed as the Workingmen's cam
dldate for mayor. The nomination was
received with but one dissenting voice and was
declared unanimous among the rousing cheers
OF those present. Several candidates were pro-
posed for the office of city comptroller, but the
nomination of Henry Druckhammer, by accla-
nation was made unanimous. The subject of
nominating school directors was discussed, as
was also the propriety of appointing commit
tees in eaoh ward to propose names for alder
men ut the next regular meeting. The general
feeling, however was that their ticket, by the
nominations made, had got good send-off,
and the union adjourned for further business
until the next regular meeting, to be held Mon-
day evening next.

ingmen throughout the country, for the pur-
pose of correcting evils growing out Of unjust
and false legislation, all good men will hail the
suspicious result. But the real working men,
combining their strength and might in these
unions, must exercise vigilant care that they
do not suffer themselves, in their organized
force, to be led to their own prejudice by design
ing and interruptions men, else the mischief
tney would 90 to their own true interests, will
come upon themselves with augmented force.
The intelligence and will of the great body Of
the people must be the controlling power ii
our political elements. The people themselves
must understand their wants; and contrive and
enforce the appropriate remedies. They NAV
choose servants or agents only to formulate
remedies in accordance with the popular will

authority, contemn their will and disregard
the high obligations of duty in official positions.
The Workingmen's union in this city, acted
upon this notion, in their recent condemnation
in terms, of the fragrant violation of the fun
damental principle of popular sovereignty bv
our representatives, in the late Legislature, in
their failure to submit to the people of this
city the important modification Of its charter
enacted during the late session.. Whether the
amendments were wise, in the opinion Of the
representatives, public interests are gravely In
volved, there can be no possible excuse for the
contemptuous insult to the voters and tax-pay-

ENGLISH GRAIN TRADE.
Business Dull and Prices Lower--The Black
q Sea Shipments Attracting Attention.

Business Dull and Prices Lower.-The Black
Sea Shipments Attracting Attention.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Mark Lane
Egpress review Of the British corn trade for
the week, says: English wheat has been
marketed in small quantities and in an nm
satisfactory condition. Both in Mark Lane
and in the provinces business was restricted,
as growers are not able to make up their
minds to accept the lower rate, at which
buyers expected to purchase. Sales, how
ever, have only been practicable at decline
Of shilling per quarter, although the re-
ducion principally affected badly conditioned
parcels Imports of foreign wheat into
London and Liverpool have been large, and
buyers were enabled to satisfy their wants
on rather easier terms. Trade has been
somewhat less repressed than of late, but
the demand nevertheless has been mainly
retail.
Considerable interest is conferred for the
moment upon the Black Sea ports and the
large shipments of grain taking place in
Odessa, but in what condition these supplies
will reach US after having been stored IN the
up country districts of southern Russia for
many months, is matter of conjecture.
There will be some delay in shipping wheat
from this source, the transport service being
very inefficient.
New American maize has come to hand
freely in good condition. Feeding stufs
ruled slow. New maize and barley has been
turn lower to sell, but oats, of which ar
rivals from abroad have been light. fully
maintained rates. Arrivals of wheat carRoes
at ports of: call have been moderate, but
trade ruled exceeding dull, and prices de-
clined two shillings per quarter. Maize and
barley we're also neglected, and values gave
way six pence to shilling per quarter, with
frmer feeling at the close.

A cloud burst struck the town of

ton of rain. Soon the slopes of the hills
were covered with torrents of water, which

mum of water, was vastly increased in
volume, SO as to overspread the flats on eth

about the houses in Chinatown began to
move. A bank Of murky water several feet
IN hight, bearing brush, fences, debris of all
kinds, cattle, horses and bigs, was hurled
forward with fearful momentum. AS iit

low, shabby tenements gave way with crash,
