political revolution that has just swept
over the principal and leading states
of the Union. The people having borne
with patient endurance the crooked ac-
ton of INSCRIPTIONS party leaders
until forbearance was exhausted, and
hope of better things despaired of, have
arisen superior to every other considera-
ton than regard to the public welfare, and
honesty in public affairs, and swept from
place and power innumerable political
shysters, who have fattened on the spoils

rooted in her old ways and modes.
stalwart bossism bearing rule, apparent
ly unaffected by the spirit of reform, and
the sensitiveness to political corruption and
public wrong that has at last aroused the
people in other states to break away from
every tie that has hitherto bound them
to organized political rascality, and un-
scrupulos sslf-sseking.
There are many reasons
for this, peculiar to Minnesota
and not to other states. First, the opening
of the great Northwest to settlement on
cheap lands. has stimulated to marked
degree great influx of foreign emigration,
until no state in the Union is represented
by SO many foreign clannish nationalities,
as is this state. In great many places
these emigrants settle in clans, and the
single, sole impulse of clanship moves the
whole in any given direction.
those emigrants speedily acquire cit-
izenship, and are clothed with the prelog-
alive of electors. They sknow comp ar

The Philadelphia Press symphatising

Times suggests to the president that 'he

prompt return to the administrative
policy SO auspiciously inaugurated by

THE IRON TRADE.

Pittsburs Manufacturers Report Healthy
Condition of Business-The Game of the
Bessemer Rail Men. .
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 22.-The iron manu-
facturers of this city generally do not
agree with the Eastern manufacturers, who
generally indulge in gloomy forbodings in
regard to the future of the iron and steel
trade. A large number of the most prom
inent manufacturers were interviewed to
day, and none anticipated any serious
break. The mills here are all doing fair
business, and while none are rushed with
orders, every pound of iron now being
manufactured is being consumed. The
nail trade is generally dull at this period.
but on the contrary the nail factories are
very busy and plenty of orders coming in.
In regard to the Bessemer rails, a tromi-
nent manufacturer stated that there was a
good profit on Bessemer rails at $40 a
ton, crOakers to the con-
trary notwithstanding; that rails could
be made here for $32 dollars, leaving So
of a margin for profit. A. T. Heating, vice
president of the Iron association, speaking
on the same subject said the Bessemer
men made large profits, but now when over
production has come, they find their profits
lessened and their first object is to reduce
the price of labor. In order to do this
they are endeavoring to show that the en-
tire bottom has dropped out of the bust.
ness. Another point they have is to in
fiuence legislation and prevent any further
reduction of the rate on steel rails.
MANUFACTURING AT LOSS.
SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 22-Lackawanna
Iron and Coal company has accepted a
contract to deliver 10000 steel rails at the
works at $40 per ton. This price is equal
to $42 delivered at New York. The cost
of production is over $40. but the company
will continue in operation without profit,
rather than suspend. The prospect of
cutting wages creates much excitement
The men are determined to stand against
a reduction.

Death of Abne- c. McIlrath.

The Cleveland Leader of Nov. II con-
tains long account of the sickness and
death of Mr.. Abner c. McIlrath, of that
city, the father of Major McIlrath, for
merry chief af police in st. Paul. He died
at o'clock on the morning of the 10Th.
He was ill about year with the dropsy.

The deceased was in many respects an exc
traordinary man. He was giant
IN his build, being six feet
six and one half inches in
height, while his average weight was 264
pounds. He was very strong and power
full, and remarkably quick. The Leader
gives column and half to sketch of
his history and among the events men,
toned in his life are many which give in
dication of his strength and courage.
The following is the closing paragraph of
the Leaders account of the death of this
distinguished person:
ssAb.n McIlrath has left Us. We shall
never see his like again. His kindly and
genial presence will be sadly missed bv
many who have loved him as they
would brother. He was good
neighbor, just man, and an
estimable citizen. His funeral will take
place from his late residence next Sunday
at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon. His giant
form will be conveyed by his six sorrowing
stalwart sons, who will act as pail bearers,
The nights of whom are as follows: Four
sons six feet four inches and half, and
two six feet; and their combined weight is
l.3O5. Mr.. McIlrath leaves wife and ten
children"

Multiplying the Edmunds Law.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 22.-The grand
jury of the third district, just discharged,
found three indictments under the Ed
munds law out of twenty cases presented.
There were two Mormons whom the dis
trict attorney could not get rid of in i'm
paneling the grand jury, and they are
supposed to have given warning, as wit
nesses we're run of. When caught they
knew nothing, or refused to answer, or an
swered falsely. President j. F. Smith is
supposed to have gone from the grand
jury room and warned one who was in
dicted. and he has absconded. The grand
jury of the second district is in session.
The district attorney says he can't reach
polygamy by prosecution, and it must be
done, if at all, by some other method.

A Pc Iitical Sensation Spoiled.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. Congressman
Blackburn says, in reference to the alleged
plotagainst Speaker Keifer: I have not
seen copy of the Enquirer, to which you
refer, but have heard of it. There is not
enough color of truth in the report to form
the foundation. There was an idea sug-
gested of offering resolution to impeach
Keifer for his partisan rulings, but such a
thing as use of force was certainly not
mentioned in any Democratic canvass or
meeting, if it was thought of, and do not
believe the latter ever entered the head of
any Democratic member of congress.

II is an insult to our native poprl ation
thus to bring in foreign element, TO over
ride our country's nationality. 1t If; enough
fer the foreign emigrant to enjoY the rights
and privileges which our government gen.
erously grants them, equally with native
citizens, without essaying s.toau overrlae
them.
This spirit of caste and class is per-
nicious. The negro clanships of South
Carolina and other states, in election con-
tests. is no more to be deprecated than is
the foreign clanship of Minnesota and 9TH
er portions of the great Northwest. a.
Another reason for Minnesota's present
position is. that her people are not yet ed
ucated up to the gross rascality of boss
ism as in the older states. Here the
parties prefer to run on in the old ruts of
POLITICAL corruption. In the older states,
Republicans and Democrats struck hands
In uprooting the gigantic corrup-
ton of political, stalward bossism. Here
the old traditions of party were held too
sacred to be disregarded, to overthrow
fatally growing evil, and to secure to the
country once more the purity and honesty
of elections.
The Democrats of Minnesota at the late
election lost great opportunity. If, like
the Republicans kof New York, Pennsyl-
vania. and Massachusetts, and other states,
they had risen superior to mere
party mach1nery,!ss smagnanimously
invited an independent peoples movement,
three at least, of the five congressional dis.
tricts of this state could have been carried
against the corrupt boss machine Republi-
can candidates, in spite of foreign clan
ships. But blinded by narrow, bigoted,
partisan views, certain leading Democrats,
in certain Democratic newspapers bounded
their Partisans on, to strict party
action, to gain only barrenness
and loss. There are times and crises in
the history of every party, when it is no
disloyalty to pretermit, for the nonce par
ty machinery, and strike outside of party
lines, for great political good, not other
| wise attainable. Shut in by purblind
party prejudices, certain Democratic jour-
nails and leaders, denounced the suggestions
of the more sagacious, and did Just what
pleased the dominant stalwart bosses, put
distinctive tickets in the field, producing
| the inevitable result of sending an I'm.
broken stalwart delegation to congress, and
in insuring the election of stalwart boss
| to the senate.
If there had been manly Independence
and political sagacity equal to the
demands of the occasion, the result would
have been far different, and Minnesota
| would have stood in the column of states
redeemed and renovated by a healthful
political revolution. =
| AS it is she stands helplessly
bound in the chains of stalwart
bossism, the serf of a lordly
purse-proud ring, whose power for perpet-
| uating its rule has been strengthened BY
the lack of sagacity on the part of their op-
ponents to seize the staff of accomplish
msnt when the opportunity presented, and
who by their misdirected zeal have only
plucksd the apples of Sodom.
