on any political party which will not sub
init to it's dictates; and therefore, Resolved,
first, That we believe the time has come
when with the discipline OF the Methodist
Episcopal church we declare as our plat
form, total abstinence for the individual,
prohibition for the stat and uncompro-
missing hostility to any and all forms Of Ii
.cense. Second That We demand OF any
party seeking our ballots that it declare
itself in faver OF prohibition and pledge it
self to the submission and adoption OF a
constitutional amendment. Third, That
we will not cast our ballots for any party
which refuses thus to declare and pledge
itself. Fourth, That we heartily endorse
the work done and the position the
question OF total abstinence and prohibi-
ton by the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union. and that we unite with the
temperance people OF Minnesota in giving
them welcome to our state in their annual
convention. Fifth. That the assassina-
ton Of the Rev. George G. Haddock at
Sioux City, Iowa, reveals the true charac-
ter OF the rum traffic and calls upon every
true man and woman Of the whole nation
to arise, and with equal courage and
conservation, labor for the speedy, COM

Subsequently the following was adopted:
That in the action just taken, we do not

Timber Trespassers in Minnesota.

The Secretary OF the interior has trans.
mitted to the attorney general papers
of,the United States district attorney OF
Minnesota in relation to the suit pend
ing against the Gull River Lumber Com.
pany OF Minnesota for the cutting OF
lands OF Minnesota. The district
attorney says that the company offers to
compromise by paying 50 per 1000 feet
The secretary, in his letter to the attorney
general, says:
In view of all the facts in the case, as
some concession to the company's claim
that it did not intend to appropriate the
government timber. and to avoid de-
lay and litigation in the settlement
OF the case. this department will
consider favorably a proposition by the
payment OF IS per 81, 900 feet for the tim
Der, amounting to 1914. 900 feet. If this
sum is not paid, then the law had better
take it's course. If this case OF trespass
were the only one in which this company
were implicated, and the amount OF tim
Der were not SO large, moro favorable
terms might be considered; but the fact
shows q great and continued disregard for
the property rights OF the government.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The movement
of general merchandise throughout the
United States, as reported by wire To Brad
streets, shows decline as compared with
the preceding week. This is largely due
to the continuation of the strike on the
Southern railways and the unsettling of
confidence generally in industrial and trans
pOrtatiOn lines. Reports OH the number of
the striking operatives in the country shows
a total of 81, 800 against %, 100 on March Is.
The decline in the number striking is about
$500 within two weeks, but LOCO striking
dress and shirt makers in New York have
raised the aggregate. The Gould road
striking employees do not exceed 5000, with
4, $40 others thrown out of work. The de-
mand for money at the interior has fallen
of, but rates are upheld. Mercantile col
lections are generally backward. Country
roads throughout the West are generally

consequence. AT most points spring

though Pittsburg, Detroit and
Omaha report Improvements. In general

quite as active as last week, but prices are
