VICE OF ENGLISH ARIsroCRAc,

VICE OF ENGLISH ARISTOCRACY.
In the face Of the efforts being made by the
London authorities to suppress the street
sales of the Pail Mall Gazette, Mr.. SPUR
GEoN makes bold stand in defense of that
journal and the war it is waging against the
vices of English aristocracy. 1t required
an immense amount of moral courage on
the part of the Pail Mall Gazette to make
the exposures, knowing that it would raise
a whirlwind and bring down upon the head
of the courageous journal the indignant
wrath Of aristocratic circles, which are the
powers that be in England. But still
more sublime exhibition of moral courage is
displayed by Mr.. STURGEON, who promptly
steps to the front and throws himself in the
breach TO protect the paper. Mr.. SPUR
GEoN's name is tower of strength to any
cause, and the weight of his personal infiu-
ence with the people of London will
offset the fierce power of the in
dignant aristocracy. If the statements
made by the Pail Mall Gazette are correct.
and there is no reason to doubt their verify.
they show a most debaSed condition of
morals among the English nobility, hardly
SqudICu dhu Certainly lOb SACtlleu Dy the
most licentious periods of English history.
1t is no wonder that the virtuous classes. as
Mr.. STURGEON says, are bowed down with
indignation. The fact that the editor of the
Pail Mall Gazette is an American explains
the temerity of that paper in attempting to
lift the veil from the putrid moral status of
English high-life. The courageous editor of
the Gazette will doubtless be made the victim
of endless persecution, but he has lighted
fire in England that will not be extingushed
until the moral atmosphere of English aris-
tocracy has been purified. With such lead
ers as STURGEON, the commons of England
will assert the purity of the English people,
the prosecutions of the aristocracy to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

To divert from the Chicago lines to st. Paul

Ihe route from Milwaukee 10 Duluth is
nearly, II not equally, as short as the route

the completion of its line to Ashland, did
not receive any of Duluth's business to
chicago, rs its route was from Duluth and
superior 30 Brainerd and from thence to
81 Paul, where it would be taken by one
Oh the east-bOund roads. The Northern

the shorter lines of the St. Paul

eontented with east-bOund shipments to
tile dual Lake Superior cities. Now it
can compete on more even terms. Tn

FORMER cities TO St. Paul. while the haul To
ashland Is less than half the distance. The
Northern Pacific by this route is able to
carry business TO Milwaukee with dispatch

A CHoLERA- sTRTCKEN TOWN.

The Madrid correspondent of the New
York Herald, who has just returned from
cholera-stricken Murcia, gives mournful
account of the distressed condition of the
city. Out of a population of 1000 about
10000 have fed from the place since the
epidemic broke out. Its streets are deserted
and there is hardly house in which the in
habitants have remained in which case of
cholera has not occurred. The first
case occurred on the 5th of June
and in twenty-four days 1915 per-
SONS had been attacked and 1850 bodies
had been buried. Among the heroes
of the plague are mentioned the Count DE
VALE, one Of the richest landowners of
the province, and Bishop BRYAN, brave
man who is always found where
the cholera is worst. Count DE
VALE goes among the sick fearlessly.
By common report he has already
given away all his ready cash and has be-
gun to mortgage his real estate to raise
more funds to relieve the sufferers. In re-
lating his own observations while visiting
the sick Bishop BRYAN said ''People live in
the utmost misery and filth. In one place

tice it must be said that they seldom are.
The Cleveland Leader, however. confesses
that it is ashamed of its Mississippi Repub-
lican ally, JAMER II. CHAMBERS, whom
1t calls the 'unhung fiend who massacred
Union prisoners But when it saws that
he cannot and would not be received into
our party and that he failed in his
effort to get back into congress by
way of the Republican party after
the Democrats had dropped him, it
shows the grossest ignorance of recent
political history. In 1880 CHALMERS ran
as the Democratic candidate for congress
in his district against LYNCH, the colored
Republican, and was elected. In 1882 the
Democrats refused to renominate him, and
he promptly made terms with the Republi-
can administration at Washington for its
support as the opposition candidate, and
with Its help he was elected. If the Leader
will turn to page $50 of the latest Hand
book of Politics, compiled by that
eminent Republican statistician, Ed
WARD MCPHERSON, it will find
the name of CHALMERS recorded
among the Republican members of the Forty
eighth congress; and if it will refer to page
2S2 of the American Almanac for 1885 it
will see that CHALMERS was again the Re
publican candidate for congress last fall, re-
ceiving almost all the opposition votes,
though fortunately not enough to elect him
this time. Indeed, if any man in Missis-
sippi to-day is entitled to be considered a
Republican in good and regular standing,
it is the hero of the Fort Pillow massa-
cre.'"

Prospects for Se11Iemen1 FnrornbIe.

PHILADELPHIA, July S.-The mfOrma-
ton was given here yesterday upon good
authority that negotiations between the
Pennsylvania and New York Central rail-
road companies with view TO a settlement
of the trunk line difficulties are progressing
satisfactorily. For the first time since
these negotiations were begun il is stated
that they are in a position where they can
be concluded within twenty-fOuT hours,
but whether il will be done so speedily as
that even those who are parties
10 the matter cannot say. The
most serious obstacle toward a
settlement of the trunk line difficulties has
been the jealouSies and antagOniSmS exist
ing between the Pennsylvania and New
York Central companies and these have
been occasiOned by the invasion by each
upon the others territory. An officer Of the
Pennsylvania states that these jealOusies
and antagOnisms cannot be appeaSed except
by withdrawal of each from the others
territory and this means the Vanderbilt in
terests must abandon their Pennsylvania
enterprises and that in return for this the
PENNSYLVANIA will exert its influence TO sub
ordinate the West Shore 10 the Vanderbilt
control, while the Pennsylvania will not be
so aggressive in its New England business
as heretofore

Discussing the Order.

The Issuance of the order by the secretary
or the treasury, making all merchandise
dutiable passing from one American point
10 another through Canada, was the subject
Of general discussion in railroad circles yes
terday. As will be readily seen, of the
roads IN the Northwest the most affected Is
the St Paul u Duluth, as all the shipments
OF flour from Minneapolis to the East by
the St Paul x Duluth, the Northwestern
transportation company and the Grand
Trunk railroad will be stopped. Yesterday
the latter company gave notice to the ST.
Paul Il Duluth that il would not make any
further contracts for business TO points in
the East over its line. The fact is the
Grand Trunk has now an immense amount
of flour and wheat at Duluth, which it had
some time ago contracted to carry, and
whether it will carry out its agreement and
pay duty remains 10 be seen. IL is alto
gether probable that, should the parties
whom the Grand Trunk contracted with
compel the company 10 carry out its agree
ments, the railroad company would make
a contract with some American company
10 have the business deliyerd at destination,
and thus escape the duty it would be COM
PEELED TO pay should il convey the consign-
ments itself. The Northwestern Transport
tation company and the Collingwood line,
both Canadian lines, have been carving all
this interchange of business between the st.
Paul & Duluth and the Grand Trunk roads.
They will now either have To tie up their
boats or find new waters TO operate on.
Local railroad men do not yet thoroughly
understand that it will affect business pass
ing from one point in Canada to another
through the United States. They claim
that the goods consigned that way are as
much imports as the other way. The cir
cular has been interpreted in several diff
ferent ways, each interpreter claiming his
way to be the only correct one.

TIE Detroit Free Press saysg Fifty years
ago 1t cost cents TO send a single-sheet let
ter any distance less than 80 miles. Be
tween 30 and so miles the rate was 10 cents;
between so and $50, 1879 cents; between $50
ana 400, 1s1S cents, and over 400, % cents.
For two sheets double price was charged. In
ls45 the unit of weight was fixed at half an
ounce and the rate for any distance under
800 miles was fixed at cents. Above that
distance the rate was 10 cents. Six years
later the rate was reduced 10 3 cents, for
which letters could be sent anywhere under
5000 miles. In 1868 cents was made the
uniform rate throughout the Union, and in
1883 the rate was reduced to 2 cents. Every
one of these reductions has been productive
of an increase in revenue, and it Is not likely
that the reduction just effected win prove
any exception TO the rule

YESTERDAY AT MIDWAY.

What feeling of justifiable pride every
citizen of our state must have experienced
while witnessing the trial of speed at Mid
way Park yesterday in the reflection that
Minnesota is assuming position in the front
rank as a hOrse-breeding state. What
marvellous improvement there has been
within recent years in the speed of horses.
There are those living to-day who remem-
Der that when the record was lowered to
$50 it was thought to be almost incredible.
When Flora Temple at Kalamazoo in 1859
brought it down to 2:193l, it was thought
that the minimum had been reached. And
when Dexter, at Buffalo in 1867, scored
2:171@, all the world rang with laudatiOns
of the splendid animal which occupied
a prouder station as king of the
turf than did the car as monarch
of the Russias. And yet of the
eight heats at Midway yesterday five Of
them lowered the record of DEXTER, and
in two of the others the horses were driven
double. 1t is true they were not all trot-
ting matches, but the record of the trotting
half-mile heat by REVENUE and Won
ARNIM was lower than DEXTER's best,
while in the pacing matches GEM, NIKE
WILKES and the peerless JOHNSTON
eclipSed his record. Yesterdays exhibition
at Midway is not only matter of congratu-
alton to Minnesotians, but should likewise
be encouraging to those of our citizens who
are giving attention to the breeding of
blooded horses to go ahead, feeling assured
that their efforts are to be crowned with
success. Minnesota should not only take
rank among the foremost states in horse
breeding, but should rank as first. And
so it will with little more effort in that
direction.

IOWA POLITICS.

The Greenbackers of Iowa showed their
good sense by agreeing to fusion with the
Democrats of that state. There is only one
anti-monopoly party in this country, and
that is the Democratic party. For three
quarters of century the Democratic party
has stood as bulwark against the encroach-
ments of monopolistie power, and with a
courage and pertinacity never equaled in
the history of political parties, has fought
the battles of the people. Now that the
currency question has been settled, there
is no reason why the Greenbackers should
not join hands with the Democracy in a
common fight against monopoly and corpor-
ate power. Gen. WEAVER, the emf
nent Greenback leader, shows that
he realizes the fact and is
not slow to proclaim it. The practical
unanimity with which the Greenbackers
Endorsed the fusion plan, Notwithstanding
the active opposition of WELLER and a
few leaders who had axes to sharpen on the
Republican grindstone, indicates that there
is going to be a long pull, a strong pull, and
pull altogether to redeem Iowa from Re-
publican rule. Iowa is naturally Demo-
cratic state and has only been held in the
Republican column by artificial processes.
The principles of Democracy are exactly
suitable to requirements of Iowa's agricul-
tural interests. The principles of the Re-
publican party are entirely antagonistic
to them, and how Iowa has been held so
long as a Republican state is a mystery.
We feel confident that the time has come
when Iowa will swing into its proper place
and we expect good round Democratic
majority at the next election.
