DULUTH WANTS T1E-E1E EETzsEss.

Is there anything On the earth, in the
heavens above or the waters beneath,
that the people of Duluth does not or
would mot claim as their very own? y
few days ago the remains Of a drowned
man was found in the bay near Con-
nor's Point, our own Coroner viewed
the remains, fitted them for the grave,
furnished the coffin and attended to
the interment in our cemetery, and we
had every reason to believe that at
least this find might properly belong to
Superior, ard that our title to it would
never be questioned. But the next
day the Duluth Herald comes out and
with bold headlines claims the find"
as a purely Duluth affair, found at
Rice's. Point and taken to their NOR
que. Well, We suppose it is all right
and we shall have to give it up to
them, but if they get the body and the
glory, they ought to reimburse US for
our costs in the case.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

receipts 1900, 900 in single week. II had also
paid out more silver and silver certificates than 1t
had taken in by $4,000, OOO and more legal-ten-
dcrs and certificates by 100000. Thus it has
added TO the circulating medium 81 6OO,O 600 IN
week. besides the excess of coinage over exports
In October, thus far, it has added about s2S-
000 600 TO the circulation. The bank reserves
gained last week ss,44O 900, and since September

expansion of currency would not have been more
rapid.
All know that the effect has not exactly an

lation has been pushed far and so fast that re-
actions have come TO be in order. It carly

was 81 and is now about 81 cents; lard has fallen

Of stocks has dropped since September 90 81 81 per

hogs GO cents per 90 pounds sugar a sixteenth,

coffee and pork remaining unchanged, but the
general tendency Of prices has been downward in
spite of an expansion of over 100000 in cir
culation during single week
Events do not harmonic with the wishes OF
speculators As usual the railroads first
porting show large gains, forty reporting gain
of 444 per cent for the second week of October,
as forty-six reported gain of 42S per cent for
the first week But sevcnty-three for the first
week showed only LIZ per cent gain, and one
hundred and five for September showed loss
per mile operated of nearly six per cent, while
the net earnings of cighty-three roads for August
show loss of s72O,S76, or 4.46 per cent, al
though the gross earnings of the same roads
gained in that month more than per cent. The
statements of the Baltimore and Ohio and Mis-
souri, Pacific, the course of speculation in Atchi-
son stock at Boston, and the decline in the grain
exporting business have affected the market I'M
favorably.
As to wheat, the following statement of cx-
ports from Atlantic ports for several weeks, and

any real Importance to the New-England fish
ing fleet and it is only one of many CONNER
cial rights which have been withheld by the
Canadian authorities What Americans de-
mand is that complete maritime reciprocity
which is guaranteed by the public law Of both
countries. A single beggarly concession would
not be an adequate measure of reparation for
the campaign Of outrages on the Dominion sea-
board. Moreover, the President is not in a
position to profit materially by the carefully
calculated generosity of Sir John Macdonald
He negotiated disgraceful treaty, by which
transshipment Of cargoes was made subject Of
international barter, to be secured whenever
duties on Canadian fish were removed. If the
privilege be now conceded as an American
right the Administration will be convicted OF
having driven a foolish and dishonorable bar
gain in attempting to purchase it by modiica-
tions Of the customs laws.

HELP FROM CANADA.

Canadian journals are seriously discussing
the probability of a concession by their Gov
eminent of the transshipment privilege. The
President grounded his retaliation proposals
upon the action of the Dominion authorities in
refusing to allow American fishermen to land
cargoes for shipment in bond to New En- gland.
Sir John Macdonald is reported to be anxious
to concede the privilege in order to avert the
interruption of the transit trade. While these
rumors are not officially confirmed, it is sig
nifcant that leading Ministerial journals advo-
cate this policy
The only intelligent motive which can be
imputed for such concession on the part of
Sir John Macdonald is desire to aid the Presi-
dent in the approaching elections. Canada has
profted largely from Democratic methods of
administration. 1t has won important dplo-
matte victories. 1t has obtained at Washing
ton substantial gratuities for the Canadian Pa
cific Railway. 1t has the strongest reasons for
hoping that the President will be reelected.
So astute politician as Sir John Macdonald
does not need to be informed that the Admin
istration has been seriously discredited by the
reputation il has earned of promoting foreign
rather than National interests. He may desire
TO aid the President on the eve Of the election
by furnishing him with little political cap
ital. Let the transshipment concession be made
and there will be great flourish of trumpets
in the Democratic press. The President will
be credited with victory in forcing Canada
to withdraw from an untenable position. His
admirers will extol the frmness and American
feeling which in that event may have enabled
him to bully dependencies of the English
Crown by the bare threat of cutting off the
transit trade. Sir John Macdonald, intrenched
in power as he is, undoubtedly can afford to
arm the President with certificate that he is
not an English candidate. In the event of
Democratic success there would be ample COM
pensations for so trivial sacrifice.
So far as American opinion is concerned, the
game would hardly be worth the candle. The
transshipment Of cargocs is not privilege Of

THERE IS NO B1RGAINING THIS YEAR.

THERE rs NO B1RGAINING THIS YEAR.
Some disgruntled Republicans who were once
of the Machine" but are no longer trusted as
local leaders, talk of the Republican County
nominations as being made to trade on. Some
declare that they were made by concert with
Tammany Hall to secure the reappointment OF
Stephen b. French as Police Commissioner and
Scion B. Smith and Jacob Patterson as Police
Justices This is the sheerest nonsense; but
probably the best way to stamp out lie OF
this sort is to publish it, After its publication,
pending great election, Messrs. French, Smith
and Patterson can never afford to take their
reappontments from Democratic Mayor, and
will doubtless continue in the earnest work
we know them to be doing to secure honorable
reappointment from Mayor Erhardt.
This sort of talk is the only basis we have
been able to find for the doubt Of some Repub-
licans as to the genuneness of the Republican
County ticket 1t is absurd on its face. In
the first place Mr.. Erhardt could not be brought
to lend himself to such bargain; he Is TOO
experienced politician, too sagacious lawyer
and business man to permit himself to be thus
used; and, further, the reward is not sufficient
10 excuse tnc zeal OF Sdllsly lhc diiN 6Ou
But some argue that, Of course, the real pur-
nose is to get votes for Harrison and Miller by
throwing away the Mayoralty to Tammany
This is necessarily wrong again. for while will
ing to "knife" Cleveland perhaps and ready
TO do it without reward, the Tammany Demo-
Gratis are solid for Hill and will not carry out
any deal against him.
All talk about trading our local ticket this
wear may be set down as weak inventions of
the enemy. The situation, locally, in the state
and the Nation, renders bargaining unneces-
sary as well as impossible. The Democrats are
certain to do all the mischief to their own tick
cts necessary to our complete success-if Re-
publicans will recognize their plain duty. Abb
soclc unlcn and straight voting on all tickets
should prevail this year of all years among Re
publicans The best way to help Harrison and
Miller in this city in this election is to vote
straight for the Republican Mayor. And don't
forget that.
