THE DAVTDSON DEMOCRATS.

THE APPEAL would like to arrest the at
tention Of the Democrat OF Shelby county
for few moments from any consideration
Of yellow fever epideuics and invite them
to read what the Democrats OF Davidson
county did yesterday in convention.
They refused to instruct their nominees
for the Legislature for either OF the
candidates for the United States Senate
and RENTED the question Of preference to
the voters OF the party to be voted on by
them at primaries to be had at the general
election to be held on the 9Th OF Novem-
her next. This is exactly what TIE APP
PEAL contended for and the Shelby Conn
ty Convention paid no ttenton to. The
Davidson Convention has confidence in
the people, the Shelby County Convention
had not.

PARSONS PAPER.
1t Will Suspend for Want of FL.
nanCeS.

CHICAGO, April 27.-To-morrOw the
issue of the Alarm, the paper of which
A. r. Parsons, the anarchist.was editor,
will be suspended indefinitely. Difficult
ties partaking somewhat of financial
character, it is supposed, have caused
the stoppage. 1t is queer coincidence
that the day is exactly the second ami
versary of the last issue of the paper by
Parsons himself, the number just pre-
ceding the haymarket bomb throwing

marks that the Alarm ''re-eStabliShed
week before the judicial murder of our

has lasted barely six months. He adds:

STATE MEDICAL SCHOOL.

The trustees of the state university, in
deciding to establish medical school
in connection with the institution. have
gone about the completion of their plan
in precisely the way to attain the best
and most creditable results.
That a thorough medical school is
needed in the Northwest is obvious to
any one who is aware of the fact that
there are not dozen first-class medical
schools in this country of 60,000,000 peo-
pie, and that these are for the most part
ance at them by Northwestern youth
extremely inconvenient, and in the ma
jority of cases practically impossible.
1t is lamentable fact that most of the
medical schools in the country are un-
worthy the name. Their facilities are
small, their professors are inadequately
trained, and their teaching is confused
tumble, seemingly without system or
purpose.
Yet these institutions every year send
out hundreds of 'young doctors," con-
scientious perhaps, but imperfectly
educated. with full license to kill or
cure, as bad luck or good luck may have
it. The people are practically at their
mercy, at 1east until their experience
has been extended enough to teach
them 1.-The way where danger lies"
There are but half a dozen medical
schools in the country whose course of
instruction is severely graded and ex-
tended over period of what should be
the minimum time Of instruction, three
years.
Happily, in preparing their plan for a

STATE OF TRADE.
The Situation Confused But Some
what Better


New YORK, April 27.-R. G. Dun 81
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
say: "The situation is unusually con-
fused. Advancing markets for stocks
and for grain contradict each other.
The western reports as to probable
crops are more definitely unfavorable,
but the buying of stocks, no longer EN-
tirely by professionals, continues as if a
much larger traffic for the future were
assured. The western roads show
more peaceable disposition, and eX-
changes at western cities generally in
dicate a larger volume of business,
while Cincinnati, Cleveland. New Or
leans all report smaller cleaTanCes than
last year. Until within the past year OF
two it has always happened that shrink
age in transactions at the eastern CEN
ters was soon followed by decreasing
trade elsewhere. But there are many
who believe that new state of things
has come in that respect. The reports
of business transactions are by no
means uniformly favorable. At New
Orleans the movement is light. De-
troit and Milwaukee report quiet in
trade, but at most other western
points some improvement is noted.
Collections are better at st. Paul and
Kansas City, but slow OF unsatisfactory
at points in Ohio, Michigan and Wis
conSin. There is prospect that the out
put of iron will now improve, though
prices do not. The accounts of the boot
and shoe trade are alittle better, though
the demand of buyers for lower prices
appears to cause hesitation. There have
been considerable sales of leather at
some concessions, and hides are weak.
Wheat has advanced l cent, and corn
half cent, with hogs and pork products
weaker. Cotton and coffee are shade
stronger, and oil IL cents lower. The
general average of prices is now little
lower than it has been at any other time
since Jan.1 Notwithstanding an advance
of per cent on breadstuffS and 1.2 on
meats, for manufactured and imported
articles are generally about 4 per cent
lower than at the beginning of the year.
1t becomes more clear that the prevail
ing tendency of prices and of wages is
toward a lower level, though actual or
apprehended scarcity of farm products
affects prices in some speculative mar
kets. The business failures during the
last seven days number for the United
States, 1893: for Canada,3 80 a total of 223,
as compared with 195 last week and 191
for the corresponding week of last year.

High License in Minnesota
Has Not Done All That It
Was Claimed It Would.
Beer and Whisky Not Suffer-
ing, and Saloons Recover
ing from the Shock.
Fading Majorities Of Repub-
on licans, and a Solid Vote
No Longer Sure.
Blaine Men in Minnesota Ju-
bilant Over His Endorse
ment in the East.

The advocates of high license in Min
nesota are making such extravagant
claims as to the benefits of the new law
and the wonders that it is working, that
an innocent stranger might suppose the
panacea for all the evils of drink had
been discovered. 1t is well to under
stand that large amount of the yocifer-
alton of the high license people is done
for political effect. The Republicans
made the law and now must whoop for
it, whether it is all-powerful or not.
The wisest leaders of the Republican
party in Minnesota recognize that un-
less they boom high license and secure
majority vote for its Endorsement, pro-,
bibitiOnists are going to beat the party.
The new high license law was framed
and passed in the last legislature, on
the claims of its advocates that it was
wise moral, financial and police meas
ure. The law was so cunningly framed
that towns were given large revenue
from the liquor traffic, and thus sop
thrown out to communities to defend
the law from monetary considerations.
Morally, it was hoped that it would stop
drinking and gambling in saloons. AS
a police measure it was to reduce
saloons, place all saloonkeepers under
bonds, and keep out of the business men
guilty OF violating any OF its provisions.
There is as yet no universal dissatiSfac-
ton with the law, but, except in the in
crease of revenues to towns, there is
good ground for believing that it has
fallen short of expectations, and that
in numerous instances it has
worked commercial harm to COM
munities, law-abiding, and yet which
largely derived its maintenance from
the brewing and sale of beer. Yet the
production of beer in the state has
fallen off comparatively little si:ioc the
law went into effect. Only two brew
cries in the state have closed, and where
the others have cut down their produc-
ton, the reason may he found generally
in the heavy competition of Milwaukee
beer, which has an enormous sale in the
state, and is constantly establishing
new agencies. The large brewers in the
cities, and the country, too, for that
matter, find the Milwaukee competition
SO strong that in many instances in
order to get their own product into the
market they are forced to establish sa-
looms of their own. Very little of the
diminished production of beer in the
state, competent Judges say, can be
traced to the effect of the high license
law. The following table shows the
beer production in barrels for March,
1886, 1887 and 1888 of twenty-five OF Min
nesota's breWerieS. AS this represents
nearly one-fourth of the total number in
the state, the table is a fair index to the
production of them all:

MISTAKEN OPINION.

From time to time the GLOBE has
called attention to the frequency with
which the state game laws have been
violated, and has urged upon the
proper officials the strictest vigilance
conducive to more rigid observance of
the law. Recently its remarks upon the
subject bore fruit in the arrest in an in
terror town of man charged with
violating the laws by killing ducks out
of season. The jury failed to convict
the alleged offender, and the rema,ka-
able observation was made by the cor
respondent who reported the affair that,
even where the proof of guilt was con-
elusive, conviction in that particular
section could not be secured, because
the impression had gone abroad that the
game laws were passed in the interest
of the city hunters.
This is, of course. entirely wrong.
The city hunters benefit by the rigid OBJ
servance of the laws to no greater eX-
tent than the country hunters. In fact,
the law which compels them to refrain
from hunting except within stated
periods is more in the interests of other
hunters; so in the degree that it pre-
vents the free-for-all slaughtering of
game, competition in which the city
hunters would easily outnumber their
country brethren.
In aiding the natural increase of game
by preventing its destruction during the
Matching, spawning and breeding sea-
son, the law benefits all NimrodS alike,
and it is difficult to see how any other
opinion can be entertained. If the laws
are to be openly violated, then Mime
sota's pre-eminence as state where ex-
cellent hunting and fishing grounds
abound will soon be thing of the past.
If they are observed, it's prestige may be
maintained indefinitely.
If laws are obnoxious to the majority,
the recourse is open of attempting to
have them repealed, but so long as they
exist, it is the duty of every good citizen
to aid in their enforcement.
