Only a Sham Battle.

Moorhead News,
The gray hairs which come of long and
honorable service, in the party ranks, at it's
fore front in many cases and in the serted
ranks of civil wars battalions, should o. be
despised or sighted and let the ''kids'' who
now chirp so boldly be told that the people
of Minnesota will not sanction such a course
They rather enjoyed the victory the kids
won last summer for the spice and variety of
the thing, but it was only in fun-a sham
battle. The contest now preparing to be de-
cided in the legislature next month, is
more serious one, and the kids will assume
their proper place in it.

How the Trusts View 1t.

I
The value of Trusts certificates has in
creased all along the line since the election
and the demand of the railroads for the
repeal of the Interstate Commerce law or a
modification of it's provisions against pools
and combines has assumed more confident
tone. The Trusts may be fooling themselves.
but they certainly act as if they interpreted
a Republican victory as their opportunity,
and within a month after the election Mr.
Jay Gould has sprung his gigantic Western
Railroad Trust on the country.

noon part of the southern wall of the

ing after the recent fire, fell in on

Holman had probably received fatal
injuries. the legs of both being broken,

internally. The third man, John Pack
ham, received severe injuries about the

New YORK, Dec. 4.-The Injunction
suit of the Oregon Transcontinental
company against the Oregon Naviga-
ton company was decled to-day in favor
of the plaintiff. By this decision the
latter company is prohibited from build

the money in the hands of the trust
company or the proceeds of the Oregon

the branches in question. 1t is now re-

The IranSCOntInental ASSOCIATION
Reaches an Agreement.
CHICAGO, Dec. AFTER a session
lasting twenty-five days. the Transcon-
tinental association has finished its
labors and adjourned. A system OF
graded rates was agreed upon on traffic
going to the Pacific coast. The highest
class differential rate in favor of Chi
cago will be cents less than from New
York, while the lowest class will be 10
cents less. st. Louis rates will be Sc
per cent of the Chicago rate, and Mis-
souri, river rates will be 80 per cent of
the Chicago rate. Buffalo and PittSburg
are 20 cents less than New York on first
class, and 5 cents less on the lowest
class. Cincinnati, Toledo and Detroit
are made 25 cents less than New York
on the highest class, and cents less on
the lowest class. On some of the arti-
cles manufactured both at Chicago and
the Missouri river points, such as pack
ing house products, the above arrange
ment would have been detrimental to
at this point the rates on such articles
were made the same from Chicago, st.

Emperor William Takes His First
Outing in Ten Days.

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-The emperor drove
out at noon to-day, his first outing in
ten days. If the tattle in Paris and vi

be serious enough to alarm Germany.
French papers insist that his ear malady
has reached critical phase, causing I'M
ceaSing puetulent discharge, and that
Doctors Bergmann, Bardeleben and
others hold daily consultations. The
truth is that the emperor has seen
neither of the physicians. Their names
are invoked for the purpose of
raising alarm. His illness is associated
with a disease requiring treatment
by specialists. These false reports
have ELECTED statement from the court
circular that the health of the emperor
is thoroughly satisfactory. His drive
out at the time when business activity
was greatest set all rumors at rest. Be-
fore leaving the SchlosS he held con-
ference with DR.. LucanuS, chief of the
civil cabinet. He also saw Count Won
Scheltendorf for the purpose, it is sup
posed, of consulting on the progress of
the army estimates In the reichstag,
where a debate is expected on the in
crease for the artillery. Among the
latest orders issued by the emperor is
one prohibiting officers in Berlin and
other great garrison towns, under pen
atty of five days arrest, from using
civilian dress when off duty. The Gus
tom has been growing among officers to
throw aside their military garb upon
every possible occasion. This does not
meet Emperor Williams aim, his object
being to glOrify military functions.

POSTAL. CURRENCY.

It is not remembered that the bill for
fractional or postal currency was in the
Republican platform, but there is a
considerable movement in Iowa and
elsewhere for its passage. In March
last it passed the house, and since has
slept in the Republican committee of
the senate. There is some expectation
that it will become law at this ses-
sion. The leading reason urged for it
is the need of something of the sort to
send IN the mails. During the wal,
when there was no specie in circulation,
the postal currency was necessity and
did good service, but the public got
very tired of it finally. Perhaps the
fact that miserable paper was used had
something to do with its unpopularity.
