THE FLOUR OUTPUT
At Minneapolis - Receipts and
Shipments,

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, October 81
The Northwestern Miller says: Toward
the close of the week most of the
mills which were idle on account of
the switchmen's strike started up.
Eighteen recorded outputs, some not
at work before Friday or Saturday.
The total .producd was 90,500 bar
rels, averaging 5000 barrels daily,
against 125,265 barrels the preced-
ing week, aud 162,650 barrels
10: the corresponding time in
1885. The bad effects OF the
railroad blockade has almost dis
appeared. Nineteen mills, the usual
number, are running as strong as they
can. The water power averages good.
Though losing somewhat in volume it
is not meeting the fullest needs of q
few mills. The output is today at the
rate of about 25 1000 barrels daily.
Next week another mill will be start.
ed with capacity OF 1900
barrels. Mills having steam plants
are getting them in readiness
in case OF low water, but it is hardly
expected the power will be seriously
affected under month. Flour has
been active and prices higher. The
market is now firm and quiet. Direct
exports last week, $4,000 bbls. Re-
ceipts-Wheat, 100000 bu; ship.
mente, 1l7,700 bu; -four, 126, ,440 bbls;
1864 tone. In store here,
3,579,027 bu; at Duluth, 7,280,815 bu;
in st. Paul, 238,000.

IF every Democratic voter in Shelby
county will vote and work on election
day the whole Democratic ticket will
be elected. The Republican leaders
have been playing a quiet game, and
have organized withapurpose to carry
Shelby county. This they can only
do through the supinenets or indif-
ference OF Democrats. Every vote is
necessary to success; every voter
should, therefore, act as if convinced
that the result depended upon his
vote. The ticket State, Congress
sional and county-is good one, ard
invites the vots of every Democrat. 1t
ought to be elected, and by a rousing
majority.

WASHINGTON, O1tober ~. - @.
F. Mcdonald, Superintendent Of
the Money Order System, has made

the money order system Is not in force,
will speedily become law.

IT is a fine commentary on the
capacity for governmental control of
the leaders of the long suf-
fering and patient race that
occupies Mexico that a large
majority Of the newspapers represent
ing the public sentiment of that coun-
try have announced their readiness to
bid farewell to the Republic and de-
clare. Porfrio Disz Dictator, with all the
unchecked powers that title implies
This is plain declaration of the
most intelligent classes that the re-
publican form OF government is a
failure. But if so, it is a failure be-
cause OF the unsstisfied ambitions of
the leaders OF these classes who are
jealous and impatient OF the successes
each Of their political opponents
and are constant in their violations of
constitutions and law to obtain
Official power. Mexico, it is evident,
must wait for the advent of the An
glo-Saxon before peace and the pros
perity that comes of it is assured to it.

as she did when ths county ticket was
elected in August,h he will be elected by
a triumphant majority. That she will
there is no reason TO doubt. The
popular acclaim by which hs was
nominated is an assurance to that
effect. He has done nothing to forfeit,
but everything to strengthen the con-

speeches, his judicious, frank, candid
and manly canvass, have strength
ened him in the public esteem and
made for him character most envl-
able to one just entering upon public
life. A great crowd should assemble
to hear him tomorrow night and thus
give. him assurance that Shelby is
with him for all she has of voters.

BOB TAYLOR AT cambridge
Ii Interrupted In Hts speech by
Radicals.

DANDRIDGB, TENN, October 27.-
Five hundred Democrats on horseback
and several colored men, met Bob
three miles out in cold rain and es-
coIted him through town to the
courthouse. The Radicals, rampant
and fierce, interrupted the speaker,
who made powerful speech, kind
but scathing, impressiDg all present,
who were estimated at 5000.
Bob appealed to them today, and
50 did CApt. Rogers, a Republican, to
desist, but it did not avail much.
They treated an cd colored mao,
wearing the white rose and hallooing
for BIB, with great indignity and
wanted evidently to have mobbed
him if they could have got him out of
the crowd. Bob's speech today had
a telling effect, and the Republicans,
as soon as Bob ceased speaking, tried
to destroy, if possible, the effect of his
effort, but it seemed like a fellow
whistling to keep up courage while
passing the grave yard. Bob received
handsome flowers as usual aud
responded. He and ALI meet again
tomorrow at Greenville.

ThOebe Versus Carlisle.

1t is no doubt true that Mr.. John Ct. Car
Isle and the intimate political friends of that
gentleman regard it as a great piece of impu-
dence on the part of the workingmen in his
district to nominate candidate for congress-
against him. Still more shocking to the
feelings of these autocratic persons, of course,
is the fact that if the candidate thus nomi-
mated was not elected, he has come SO near
to that result that Mr.. Carlisle will take his
seat in the house of representatives under
circumstances that are extremely humiiating
to him.
Az matter of fact, Mr.. Thoebe claims
that he fairly and soundly whipped Mr.. Car
Isle in the congressional contest, and that he
will contest his right to the seat in congress
that will be given to his opponent on the
face of the returns. The Tribune expressed
the opinion, on the Friday morning follow
ing the election, that the operations of the
democratic managers in Mr.. Carise's district
or rather in Mr.. Thoebe's-bore an exceed
ingly suspicious look, and that the counting
in process seemed about to be employed to
do what the people had neglected to do at
the polls. Later Developments have con-
WINGED the workingmen of that district they
have been cheated out of the actual and legiti-
mate results of the election, and they have col
the returns from the back counties have been
UNANIMOUSLY "doctored" in the interest of Mr..
Carlisle. The Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette says that there are some strange varia-
tons between the first returns sent in from
the country voting places and the official
figures, the latter being uniformly larger, and
that il is thought that legal evidence to this
effect can be arrayed that will make very
strong case.
Another feature of this contest that will be
of peculiar interest to workingmen Is the
insolent and unlawful treatment received by
Mr. Thoebe's friends at the hands of the
democratic election officers, upon every occa-
sion when they attempted TO find out what
the vote as actually cast was. This was
carried to a degree calculated To create the
impression that the democrats In at least one
section of Kentucky regard 1t as an abomin-
able crime for plain American citizen to be
a candidate for official station against the
"great and only" Carlisle.
Mr.. Carlisle is a very able man, and to q
great many Kentucky democrats, no doubt,
he stands i'll their estimation as "a little tin
god on wheels" But he has no better right
to be candidate for any public Office what
soever than the humblest and poorest of his
fellow citizens, and if any such citizen has
been elected over him, he must not be
cheated of the verdict of the people. If MIR.
Carlisle has been honestly and actually
elected, not even the most earnest partisan
ship of any honorable variety could possibly
find qualification in the seating of his oppo-
nent. But if Mr. Thoebe received plurality
of the votes actually cast, as he claims he
did, then every fair-minded citizen will hope
that that can be established beyond doubt,
and that he will be given the seat in congress
to which those votes would entitle hum

Before and AFTER.

A Washington reporter revealed in post
norton examination of Don Nj. Dickinson's
political remains Wednesday and the result
was decidedly funny. Mr.. Dickinson's spirit
broke out i'll its Jeffersonisn simplicity while
the examination was in progress and told the
reporter that 1t was no republican victory at
all IN Michigan, that the republicans barely
pulled through by the skin of their teeth and
they had to have outside help to do even
that. Don's spirit went on in this way for
some time and the reporter after satisfying
himself as to the cause of bis demise. backed
quietly out of the morgue and felt better.
When Don Dickinson was in the political
field-this was before election-he talked
very differently. He frequently visited
Washington and New York and never failed
to- rope in an interview or two every trip.
Some folks used to think he stood in with
the bunco steerers who would go out and run
reporters into Don's private room at the
hotel, but we never believed it. But as we
were about to say, when Don was on earth
this was before election-be was frequently
interviewed in New York and Washington,
and by turning back to the files of the Free
Press you will find where more than once he
told the reporters most enchanting tales
about Michigan politics. and how males

THE Detroit Free Press has sued the
EreHjag NecS, laying its damages at
$4,000, for an alleged libelous article pub
lished in the Neus stating that the Free
Press was financially embarrassed, unable to
meet its Obligations or words to that effect.
The Ne,cs seems to have penchant for libel
suits, at least, it is frequently afilIcted-or
blessed-with them. 1t ought to learn wis
dom from experience. Should the Free
Press press the Neus as vigorously as did

the NeUs. OF course il is wrong and wicked
for one newspaper TO SANDER another, but it
is seldom that they go to law with one anoth

Since the above was in type the Egehing
Necs has followed the time honored practice
and kicked back" in kind. On Saturday
last, JAMES L. SCRIPTS, proprietor of that
sheet commenced libel suit against the
Free Press laying his damages at the sum
of $50 600 The suit is based on a certain
article published in the Free Press during
the campaign, in which it charges that Mr..
SCRIPTS had offended against decency, that
he had vilified the judge of the court, that
he had scoffed against morals and religion
and had DETAINED its gentle founder, that he

TIM recent great express robbery was a
peculiar affair While the story of FoTHER-
INGHAM the express messenger, that he was
gagged and bound. and that the robber made
his escape from the train with the booty he
had captured, seems TO be substantially true;
it also appears that he-FoTHER1NGHAM-
was willing victim, in short that he assisted
the robber into the express car and that the
binding and gagging was a put mp job be-

indicted for the robbery and will have to
stand trial on charge of being himself
guilty of the crime.
