Pillsbury who said
When | first came to Minneapolis two teams

make 10000 barrels of flour per day and ten
acres of wheat are consumed daily. 1t would
take railroad train of three miles in length to
transport It, Fifteen years ago Minnesota
flour was so bad that no one wanted it. Now
our flour commands the highest market price
of any in the world, and we hope, gentlemen

Perhaps some time George f. Edmunds and
Roscoe ConkIing will tell the reasons why they
thought james &. Blaine au unfit man to be
President of the United States. Washington
Cor. of Boston Record
Perhaps not; but the reasons are very eyi-
dent. Conkling has never forgotten the time
when Mr.. Blaine gave him richly merited
dressing down, and like most conceited and
egotisticaI persons he is very vindictive. As for
Mr.. Edmunds he wanted the presidential nom
ination himself, and sulked because he did not
get It, As st. John is out of the way now Mr..
Edmunds might get the Prohibition nomination
next time.

Austria has been very amiable in this matter,

Among our tifty-fve millions we can surely
find man who will do US honor as our repre-

BALTIMORE MOURNs,

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 23d. Though the ex-
pected intelligence of the death of Gen. Grant
was received in Baltimore with profound re-
gret, comparatively few people knew of it
until the tolling of the bells announced the sad
event. On all the public buildings, and on many
and a gloom pervades the whole population.
The overcast sky lends soemnity to the sad
ness which is everywhere apparent and only
the calamity which has befaen the people Is
spoken Of. There is no political feeling and
those who wore the gray in the time of the
national trouble, as sincerely mourn the death
of General Grant, the warrior, as do those who
followed the victorious cheftain. In no COM
munity is there more sincere mourning than in
Baltimore.

WASHINGTON, July 22d. Shortly after eight
O'Clock, Thursday morning, President Cleve-
land was informed of the death of Gen. Grant
lie Immediately ordered the flag on the White
House to be placed at half mast. The lowering
of the flag was the first 1ntimation that the cit-
zens Of Washington had of the death of the dis
tingulshed man. although they had been antc-
pating it throughout the evening. A few min
utes after the White House flag was placed at
half mast, the flags on the public buildings and
on many private ones were placed in Il like
position.
The bells of the city were tolled and the citi-
zens who heard them recognized their meaning.
Business men Immediately began draping their
houses with mourning and their residences in q
similar manner.
While the bells tolIed, President Cleveland
sent the following dispatch to Mrs. Grant at
Mt. McGregor
accept this expression of my heartfelt
sympathy in this hour of your great atflction.
The people of the nation mourn with you, and
would reach, if they could with kindly COM
fort, the depths of sorrow which is yours alone
and which only the pity of God can hea.''
The Thursday meeting of the Cabinet was
called for II A. NJ, instead of u NJ, the usual
hour, to take action on the death of the eX-
President.

clire ed q e~nomination. He ives made
Treasurer of the Indianapolis Rolling Mill
