PLLsBURY,s BEST.

A correspondent calls attention to the
fact that there is no surplus this year for
distribution among the employees Of the
MINNEAPOLIS Touring mills. OF course not.
how could there be. This is election year.
and there is campaign fund of 500, 600 to
be raised for the benefit Of the wheat spec
ulators, who have undertaken to elect a
CORDS of state officials who will sit down
squarely on the wheat producers. With
such an issue before them and such cry
ing demand for campaign funds ringing in
their ears it is not to be expected that the
millers are going to throw away their sur
plus shekels on the laboring men. The
millers are not fighting the laboring mans
battles this year. They have campaign
of their own to look after.

An Artful DOdger.
THE ONLOOKER.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The milling firm of G. a. Pillsbury & Co.
has just issued circular to their employees
explaining why they make no division of
profits this year among them. They give the
very singar reason that one OF Dickens
characters once gave, why. bless your soul,
there's no profits to divide!'' This astound-
ing declaration naturally causes some excite
ment in the milling world for it is generally
conceded that the present has been an unusu-
aly prosperous year for every mill at the
falls.
The Pillsburys are, of course under no OBJ
legations to divide up" with any body. A
firm that carefully maintains it's credit, pays
fair WAGES to its employees, and deals honestly
and fairly in all its transactions perhaps has
done its full duty, but when one of the mem
bers of the Pillsbury firm was governor and
looking towards the United States senate and
another was state senator and the leader of
the Republican forces on the floor, while still
another was mayor of the city of Mlnneapo-
lis, it was great card to play
to annually make a display of a
division of profits among the employees.
just now ii happens that all three of these
gentlemen by the action of the Republican
party with pressure from the Democratic
party are quietly shelved, and hence comes
the circular explaining why there is no divi-
sion of profits. Perhaps, in the language Of
Senator Hendricks it would be in order Ito
snow up the books" Where have the profits
gone to? Who got them? And why are
things so badly n the dumps? These are all
questions which we dare say will puzzle the
brains of the employees. We are aware that
''options" are dangerous edge tools. We
have often heard of men losing fortunes ION
the board" and we sincerely trust that the
loss of d division of profits is not to be traced
to any attempts Ito bull the market and
corner the wheat rings"
1t is well remembered that after the last
springs campaign, when DR.. Ames rode SO
triumphantly over the Pillsbury forces, the
declaration was then openly made by one of
the members Of the firm that this thing of
dividing up the profits was played out" This
is certainly the most charitable view to be
placed on this circular. but as matter of
course it must be taken as stated, and we
have here the Illuminating announcement of
the firm running the biggest mill in the world
that with all its msnipulations of the Millers'
association and the legerdemain of grades it
has not been able to make any profits. We
venture TO say no other mill at the falls is
ready to go on record in the same way. The
Pillsbury gang nave evidently stopped

A GAUZY FICTION.

There are a great many amusing things
in politics. and one of the funny things Is
the way the MCGILL people are pattng
Gov. DAVIS on the back just at this time
telling him to wade right into the senator
ial light. as they intend to see him through.
1t is possible that they do intend to see hun
through, but all the facts in the case war
rant the assertion that it Will be through the
little end of the horn. The Pioneer Press,
which is VIGOROUSLY the MCGILL organ, in
Yesterdays issue poked sucn an amount OF
tafy down the governors throat that ne
must unquestionably have sick stomach
bv this time from Surfeit OF sweetmeats.
There are lust a few things that will sug-
gesr 10 the public mind the gauZlness OF tn 5
Davis senatorial boom from the source
vhere If was least expected. In the fist
place it is d matter of public notoriety
that the MCGML organ has never been
suspected of too much partiality for Mi.
DAVIS. nor was it ever known to go out or
its way to aid him in his former political
aspirations. In the second place it IS also
a matter of public notoriety that the nomi-
nation Of Mr. MCGILL was made as part
of a combination whereby Hennepin county
was to reap the senatorial crop. Now, in
the face of these facts. there are only two
explanations of the boom that Gov. DAVIS
is receiving from the MCGILL folks. One
is that it is blind to decoy Gov. DAVIS
and his friends into an active support of
MI MCGILL's election. or else MCGILL' S
chances for election are so desperately thin
that he has been compelled to break COM
paet with the Hennepin county senatorial
aspirant in order to secure the support OF
the Davis faction, and relies on the inter
est the Hennepin county statesmen have in
the success Of the wheat ring to hold them
in line. In either event it is worth Gov.
DAVIS while to keep weather eye on the
political sea and ''Iook leetle out" If he
hasn't made a compact with the MCGILL
crowd he can rely upon it that their pre-
tended friendship is blind. If he has
struck bargain with them, it would still
be well to keep a sharp lookout. If they
broke faith with LANGDoN they are like
wise capable of breaking faith with him.

WHAT KILLED sToRRs 2

It is very startling story which the
GLOBES Chicago correspondent furnishes
this morning as the result of long and
patient investigation into the mysterious
circumstances surrounding the death of the
late EMERY SToRRs. 1t is all the more
startling from the fact that there is every
reason to believe, on reasons which the
GLOBE does not deem it advisable to pub
lish just at present. that each statement
rests upon substantial basis of fact. Even
if proofs were not in existence the conclu-
sion that the great lawyer was assassinated
would be almost Inevitable simply through
deductive reasoning from circumstantial
evidence. There was every reason why the
''gang" which had for so long controlled
Chicago politics with a corruptness never
equalsd in the most fourishing days of
New York's TWEED regime should wish
him out of the way. He had. in under
taking MACKIN's defense, become possessed
of their most damaging secrets. There was
every probability that he would succeed in
clearing his client The gang" sud
denly concluded they did not want
to fulfill the promises made to
MACKIN. 1t was necessary therefore that
he should be convicted, and the possibility
of Mr.. SToRRs' telling what he knew
should be overcome. The opportune death
of the latter solved the problem in the only
way it was capable of solution. To say
the least, it was an astounding coincidence.
The ''gang" was saved, and though the
manner in which the death of SToRRs
benefited them might be remarked upon,
no one was prepared to make a direct
accusation. That his death was of their
procurement seems very rational explana-
of his sudden taking off. He was in the
prime of manhood and in the enjoyment of
of Ene physical vigor. In hissudden death
we've exhibited all the symptoms of digi-
tails poisoning, the most subtle and deadly
drug in existence. The most careless
reader can put the two facts together. 1t
is not the first time the Chicago gang"
has resorted to such desperate measures,
but it will probably be the last. Through the
tireless efforts of such incorruptible Demo-
cratic officials asState's Attorney GRINNELL
and City Attorney MAsHBURNE the power
of the gang" has been broken, its men,
bers scattered and their nefariouS influence
gone. A better era seems to be dawnin9
in the city by the lake, and when MACK
MS five years at Joliet are up, and he
again breathes the air of libsrty, he will
have to hunt long and earnestly for those
who in former times were his fellow cor
runtionists and no-workerS."

HAMILTON, Mo-, Oct. Lone Of the
most disastrous fires that ever visited this
city occurred at $50 o'clock yesterday
morning, and in short time $50, 900 worth
of property was in ashes. The fire orig
mated in L. L. Grigsby's hardware store, a
frame structure, occupying the central por-
ton of block and fronting ON Main street
In very few minutes tie roof was mass
of flames, which were rapidly conveyed to
the adjoining buildings. which we're frame
structures. The wind was blowing per-
feet gale from the north, and portions of
burning shingles were carried several blocks
away. The Hamilton fire company and
hook and ladder company were Oh hand
promptly. but all their efforts to save the
burning buildings were futile. The Cam
eron fire company was telegraphed fo1. but
arrived too late to help save the buildings.
Ten buildings, mostly frame, were de-
stroyed The total losses amount to $780,

"Well, / did not know it." replied the
other, 'but 1 suppose he has followed the
example of Henry Irving in that particular
And q mighty good example it is, too. The
finished performances of Henry Irving

~
''That is just where you are wrong. Henry
Irving had nothing to do with it. 1t was
some poor actor who was taking the part OF
one of the players in Hamlet" Mr. Booth,
after hearing this stick attempt to speak the
lines that fell to his part, sent for him and
had him repeat the lines. He did it just as
mechanically as in the performance.
? Mr. Booth repeated the words as they
should be given, and, turning to the poor
actor, sad There, why don't you speak In

The poor actor looked dazed for moment
and replied: Mr.. Booth. if could say them
like that, do you suppose | would be playing

''Mr. Booth was thoughtful, and soon after
this incident he took charge of the rehearsais
