SMELLING WORKS.
Vice President Cakes Arriya

L. F. Cakes, vice-president Northern
Pacific Railroad company, arrived in
st. Paul yesterday afternoon, and was
Immediately surrounded by friends
and business acquaintance. To Pr
oneer Press reporter he stated that the
company was never in better condi-
ton; that the bear raid in Wall street
had not disturbed the even tenor of
their way. The "Villard excursion"
is already bearing good fruit, and will
continue to do SO. Mr.. Cakes is in
favor of establishing a smelling works
in st. Paul to treat Montana ores. and
is satisfied that the friends of the
Northern Pacific in New York will
readily raise $250,000 for such purpose
if the right parties in st. Paul start
the enterprise. The probabilities are
that there will be very large foreign
immigration arriving in the North
west next year to settle in the country
contiguous to the Northern Pacific
road. Mr.. Cakes remains in St. Paul
week and goes hence to Oregon
Pioneer Press.
This is following our suggestion
made few days ago, with the excep-
ton of locating the smelling works at
st. Paul-we were in favor of having
them go to Duluth, where they would
be accessible to both boats and rail.
This movement of locating the works
at st. Paul will make it more expens-
i've to the mines along the north shore
of Lake Superior, and will have a
tendency to drive them further east
out of the state with their ores, be-
cause freights will be cheaper by lake
east than by boat to Duluth and rail
from there to st. Paul. Let the New
York parties raise their $3.50 900 and
go up on Lake Superior with it, at the
end of the Northern Pacific, and not
put an extra tax upon the industry, by
taking it to st. Paul, and if st. Paul
wishes to do the handsome thing and
make something out of the enterprise,
let her contribute a majority of the
capital, then it can see to it that the
machine is run in it's own interest, and
make as much profit out of it as if it is
located at st. Paul. There is another
reason for this, and that is, coal is quite
an item in running smelling works,
and this can be had at Lake Superior
cheaper than it can in st. Paul. Suit
able land to locate upon could not be
had in st. Paul for less than $4,000,
and there is no doubt but what it can
be had in Duluth for nothing and
large sum of money thrown in to Sc
cure it. Why don't Duluth wake up
and say something? 1t is hard work
to run that town and Morris too.

POOR IRISH FORCED TO CAN.
ADA.

Again the news reaches us that
England is going into the wholesale
shipment OF Irish people to Canada.
Why this kind of persecution should
be continued to poor, helpless and
starving people, is something which a
feeling of humanity cannot under
stand. The Irish poor are certainly
bad enough off where they are, with
out sending them moneyless into Cam
ada, where there are already more
working hands than the Industries of
the Dominion can provide for; where
the element now, there have more
English hatred than love for them,
and that too when it is known the
new Governor, and lis previous his
tory, is such that he cannot welcome
them with a warmth which could
justify the Irish in landing under his
protection. The proceeding Is an out
rage, and our nation in behalf of suf-
fering humanity should solemnly pro-
test against the barbarity of the act.
England must know in advance, that
she is iniicting wrong which sooner
or later will end in sending many OF
them to pauper's graves, We may al.
ready have ample of the working
class in this country, but we cannot

proved and vacant lands, be so crowd.

Much of this immigration might not
be admissible under the laws, but il
they go to Canada they will eventual
ly find their way into the United
states, and we may as well receive
them in the first instance, as after they
have become more destitute in wander.

A DIRTY GLOBE.

The Globe noted, a few days ago, the
fact that wheat at Hancock brought
ten cents per bushel more than at
Morris, the difference being due to
Morris being only Millers' associa-
ton market, while Hancock has an
Independent elevator.-St. Paul Globe.
Instead of noting fact as you say,
that wheat at Hancock brought ten
cents per bushel more than at Morris,
you noted base falsehood; the differ
ence being due to Morris being only a
Millers' Association market, is anoth-
er falsehood, and a SANDER. The
truth is, that wheat brings as much at
Morris as at Hancock; and what is
more, Morris has now, and has had all
the season, an Independent elevator,
besides another elevator that ships
wheat to Dulnth.

THE TIME AT HAND.

AS Mr.. Bierman's still-hunt after
has not resulted in the
capturing of any republican votes, we
may safely conclude that our state
ticket will receive its usual majority
of about $4,000. The revolutionary
charge made upon Gov. Hubbard by
the democracy, that all Scandinavians
should come to the political rescue of
the democratic candidate Bierman for
the same office, has disastrously re-
coiled upon its perpetrators, and they
have nothing now with which to cool
their fanatical ardor, except shame and
disgrace. Not only has the attempt
failed to seduce republicans into their
ranks upon the knownothing issue,
but the better class of democrats who
are still clinging to the true principles
of government, have come out and
publically denounced the conduct as
unbecoming party and men of pre-
tended responsibility. This course OF
unmanly procedure on the part Of Mr..
Bierman, will most certainly increase
the majorities among all classes for
our state ticket, and have tendency
in the rebound, to increased the vote
upon the several county tickets. 1t is
now almost impossible to find lead
ing democrat in this section, who will
L..
crowding this knownothlngism into
the campaign; and if we believe what
they say, it is Mr.. Bierman, and he
alone, who is responsible for it. We
think the democratic records will
show that Mr.. Bierman's nomination
was made, and he was instructed by
his party, to run upon this one issue
alone. AS this is the only ground up
on which it is sought to have Mr..
Bierman elected, republicans are
called upon to go into the smoke OF
battle like true hardy statesmen, and
throttle it at its birth. We are not
only seeking the election of our NOM
inees, but We are working as much to
put to death this issue, that we may
never again be forced to oppose any
thing so directly personal to so large
class of our people. Now is the time
for voters to arise above all personal
feelings, and assert the true principles
of their manhood. We ask it, and the
republican party demands it.

KUKLUx CONVICTED.

We have no disposition to hang out
the bloody shirt, but the fact that the
Southern Democracy have always
proved by the Northern Democracy,
that it was a false yell of the Republi-
can party, in saying, there was band
of Kuklux in the south committing all
sorts of depredations upon the colored
people and republicans from the north,
and to which we have only to answer
with the following:
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 27.-In the
Banks county kuklux case eight per-
sons were found guilty on every charge
in the Indictment. They will be sem
fenced on Monday. Judge Mccoy in
his condemnation of the so-called ku-
kluX crimes. He said:
at is strange that men should SO
far forget their manhood, and so far
forget their God and the laws of their
country as to permit themselves to do
such things on the poor helpless negro.
1t is disgrace to humanity and to So
ciety, and / say, as citizen of the
United States and as an observer, that
nothing has tended so much to bring
this Southern country into disgrace
nothing has tended so much to put the
balance of the United States against
us as this kind of outrage. They are
mean, they are disgraceful, they are
horrible, they are things which people
out of this country cannot compre-
hend."
The conviction created sensation.
The ringleaders are men of consider
able property and members of large
family, in Banks county, named Var
borough. Four of the family, Jasper,
James, Ditmus and Neal, were tried
aud all convicted. Lovick Streetman,
E. H. Green, Bold Emery and Stancy
Landerman are the others, Jasper
Marlborough was the leader of the
gang. The charge against them was
that they committed outrages against
negroes because negroes voted for Hon.
Emory Speer for congress. Speer was
defeated, and appointed United States
district attorney, so it fell to his lot to
prosecute the kukluX. The charge of
Judge Mccoy was so liberal for the
defense that acquital was considered
certain. When the verdict was rend-
cred, convicting the entire gang, sew
eral broke down and sohhed audibly.
The prisoners, handeuffed, were taken
to Jail. Their counsel will use every
effort to secure a new trial. The pen
atty is from one to six year,. This is
the first conviction of kukluX in GeOr-

The peoples Railway Company OF
America, organized at Indianapolis a
few months ago, has an authorized
capital of SIZE, 100000. 1t is supposed
that 1t will construct road from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and may run a
branch to Lake Superior, to have a
cool place to resort to in the heat OF
summer. We have no desire to speak
lightly of this road, and do not think
it safe to do so, for the reason it has
brought suit against the Chicago Tri-
bune, for intimauing it was fraud,
and claims damages to the extent of
100000. We think it nice concern,
and would do nothing to aggregate it
to come after the TRIBUNE for any
such an amount.

We learn from the Aitken Age, that
a Republican Convention was held in
that place last week, and that its editor
took part in it's proceedings; but we
do not see that anything was done in
the convention to show why that pa
per supports democrat for Lieut..
Governor, and excludes the name of
G. A. Gilman from the ticket at its
head. If the editor of that paper is
republican enough to go into a repub-
l1can convention, he should support

The st. Paul. Globe has large num-
Der of letters from different parts OF
the state, purporting to have been
written by Republicans, which say
that they will vote for Bierman, but
as no name is attached to them, we
can safely conclude they were written
in the Globe office in st. Paul, for they
are evidently all written by the same
master hand, and all say the same
thing

Building Railroads is the order of

from east Dubuque, and going north

with the Gulf of Mexico. The Illinois
Central now has connection with the

she gave me the most beautiful little
toy. Let me show YOU"
She hastened to her little safe. her
face all alight with satisfaction at her
own cunning plot to win Harry Arling-
ton for her own, never dreaming how
prone she was to overdo the matter;
while Arlington, with whitening face
and aching heart, took in the sickening
news-this welcome to his home, to
which he had come with hope and cour-
age, and faith that he would find her
true.
1t seemed as though despair had set
tied eternally on him as Mrs. White
mans soft dark hand laid Winnie cor
al locket in his owu-the very gift he
had given her at their parting hour!
His lips grew hot and parched in that
second of mortal anguish, his brain
whirled, his heart seemed pulsing with
fire
''She said it was present, but of no
value longer. Isn't it fortunate our in
itials are the same?'
He touched it in u dazed sort of way,
as if to assure himself it were not all a
hideous nightmare.

door, and, unannounced, Winnie War

wearing its story on its pure features,
to Mrs. Whiteman's blushing, confused,

loud. commanding:
Il think I understand it all, mad
anne, to his hostess. "Good-morning
and goodbye. Miss Winnie, l will go
with you-may II"
Quiet words, but the way in which
they were said, the look that accompa-
MED them, were all-sutficient Winnie
knew her very worst troubles were COM
pensated when, at last, she crept to his
eager arms, and felt his kisses, like
blessings on her mouth.
