Which he declared resumption an impo>sibilitv

resumption had been accomplished and the

volume OF paper money. was distributed over
the country. Senator Thurman went on the
stump i'll Ohio. where in his first speech he rid

STATE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.

An institute for the county of Blue
Earth, will be held at Mapleton during
the week commencing Monday, Oct. 15,
1888.
The State will provide efficient in
structors, who will be furnished with
such professional books, apparatus and
material as have been thoroughly tested
and found to be of special service to
teachers. They will make the Common
School Manual the basis of their work,
and considerable portion of the time
will be devoted to bringing out the best
manner of using the text books which
have been recently added to the State
Series. Great pains will be taken to
make the instruction pointed and in the
highest degree practical, including man.
agement of school, grading and method
of teaching the common school branches.
The evenings will be occupied by lee
lures, literary exercises and social enter
tainments, as in the past, and everything
possible will be done to make the week
pleasant and profitable one for all.
Teachers who take proper interest
in their calling, and who desire by self
improvement to advance to higher posi-
tons, will be present at the opening
Monday afternoon and remain till Fri
day evening.
All schools can be legally closed dur
ing institute week at the request of the
teachers or the County Superintendent.
The institute will be in charge of the
superintendent, who will make all re
quired arrangements for its success, as
well as for the accommodations of teach
ers, who are requested to give him early
notice of their intention to be present,
that he may provide board for all at the
lowest rates. ID. l.. KIEHL,

HOW IrLooks EAST.
Senator Sabin Gives His Views Up
on the Political Outlook.

Senator Sabin was in st. Paul Monday,
having left Washington tie middle OF
last week. He will be in the state from
now until after the election. The sena-
ator brings with him cheering political
news from the East regarding the con-
tsst in the pivotal states OF New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and. OHIO. To
reporter the senator said that the Re-
publicans were bound TO carry the state
of New York, especially the electoral
ticket. He is strong III the belief that
Gov. Hill and his followers will trade
ClevelandLin. thesword implies. at
is true" said the senator, "that Hill and
his friends may succeed in defeating
Warner Miller, the Republican candi-
date for governor, but while they are
doing this they will be just as much in
earnest IN defeating the Democratic
presidential ticket. While the Demo-
Gratis claim there is no fight between
Hill and Cleveland IN New York there
| is just the same, and the reason for at
tempting to suppress il is of such magni-
tude that it already threatens the defeat
of the entire party in the state. The di-
visions between Tammany Hall, Irving
Hall and County Democracy means the
| loss of thousands of votes for Cleveland
and Thurman. With Mayor Hewitt, the
candidate for reelection by County De-
mocracy, and Hugh j. Grant, the stand
ard bearer of Tammany, ii means bit
ter and fierce struggle. And it all is to
the injury of the Democrats, which nat
urally will serve to strengthen the Re-
publicans. Outside of the state of Indi-
ana the battle ground is in New York
city, and with the quarrels of the Dem
ocrats, while the Republicans are all
harmony, means, believe, victory for
the Republican ticket such as has no,
been seen IN that state for years. Elk,
Senator Warner Miller, however, is
making splendid campaign, and if he
is defeated at all it will be bv Gov
Hills friends knitting Cleveland, which
they will do sure. Harrison and Morton
are bound to be elected. Indiana, as
was told in Washington and at the head
quarters in New York, is absolutely
safe" As to the senate tariff bill Sen
ator Sabin is hardly of the impression
that the bill will pass the house, though
it will the senate. The result of thi.
will be that the Democrats Will stant
by the Mills bill, while the Republicans
will do the same with the measure from
, the senate. 1t will take, the senator
thinks, about three weeks for the senate
: to finish the discussion of the bill, ant
supposes recess will then be taken un
til after the election.

WANTS TO DEBATE.
Mort wilkinson Gives Mr.. Lind An
Invitation Which Will Doubt
less be Accepted.

1t is reported by to-day's Globe that
the following letter has been addressed
to Hon. A. Blanchard, chairman of the
Second district Republican congressional
committee:
am directed by the Democratic con.
greSsiOnal committee of this district to
invite, through you, Hon. John Lind
the Republican candidate for congress
to meet Hon. NJ. 5. Wilkinson, the
Democratic congressional candidate, in
a number of joint debates, 10 be held al
such points in the district as may be
hereafter determined upon by our re-
spective committees. Mr.. Wilkinson's
engagements extend to the 18th inst,
after which date be will be at liberty to
meet Mr.. Lind in friendly discussion
Of the tariff and other prominent issues
of the campaign. Should this invitation
meet with the favor of Mr.. Lind and his
friends the period intervening will be
required to make the necessary arrange
ments and give publicity thereto. The
dates, places and rules for the discussion
can be readily agreed upon and l eX-
press the hope that this invitation will
be received and accepted in the same
kindly spirit that it is rendered. Await
ing your early reply, lam yours respect
fully, ]. +. PORTER,
Chairman Second District Democratic
Congressional Committee.
We have no idea what Mr.. Lind's
views of Joint debate are, but from
what is generally known ofhis character
we judge that Mr.. Wilkinson will be
given the opportunity he desires OF
slaughterng (?) the New Ulm lawyer on
the tariff question. In conversation
with several Republicans we find them
anxious that the invitation of the Dem
ocrats be accepted, there being gen.
eral impression that Mr.. Lind would be
able to hold up his end of the argument
IN such a manner as would make the
free traders wish they hadn't suggested
the debate.

LIES AND DOODLE.

We have il from trustworthy sources
that the Democratic managers have de-
cided to trust for success in this cam
paign entirely upon the efficacy OF the
two articles named in the above caption.
Their efforts of the early days of the
canvass to convert the farmers and Ia
boring men of the state to the new doc
trine of ''tariff reform" has most signally
failed, and being at loss for any genu-
inc issue to raise against the Republl-
can candidates, they have determined
to fall back upon those methods in
whose use they are so familiar. During
the closing weeks of the campaign the
lies may be expected thick and fast. All
sorts of stories, supported or unsupport-
ed by forgeries and false atlidavits, will
be used in the hope that few weeks Of
wholesale SANDER and villification will
turn the drift toward them, when at the
last moment large amount of money
or DOODLE" viii be thrown into the
canvass and an attempt made to buy
those who cannot be deceived into yot
ing the Democratic ticket. That THU
latter method has been decided upon il
well proven bv the cry of doodle
which has been raised against the Re
publican candidate. 1t is an old tricl
with Democracy to accuse the opposi
ton with the corruption they are them
selves secretly engaged in, and ther'
can be no doubt that by raising lou'
howl against Mr.. Merriam it is hopet
to make noise enough to cover thei
own nefarious schemes.
1t Will be well for Republicans to b
on their guard. In all parts of the stat
preparations should be made to prompt
~ meet and counteract the unjust AM
unfounded attacks contemplated
Among we'll informed people these pre-
election roorbacks never have any effect
but there are classes of voters who wi
be deceived if prompt and efhcaclou
methods are not taken to remove tn
impressions made. 1t should be tn
bounden duty of every friend of Reput
lcanism and good government to Sc
that the effect of these Democratic lie!
which are surely coming, only reboun

TIE third-party Prohibitionists are
fighting the Republicans with most ma
lignant fury in the closely contested
states of New York, Indiana and New
Jersey. There is method in their mad
ness, though an utter lack of consist
sIstency. In the Empire state the Re-
publicans pronounced for the best of
practical temperance legislation, high
license Warner Miller is for that sys-
TEN, while Hill is for free whiskey and
openly supported by the saloon power.
Yet here is found the organ ofthe Pro-
hibitionists, the Voice, fiercely assall-
ing Miller, who is first-class upright
man in every particular, and substantial
ly supporting Hill. InlNew Jersey the
Republican Iegisture passed high IL
cense law in response to the temper
ance sentiment of the state, yet Gen.
Fisk is running as the candidate of the
party which hopes to defeat the Repub-
licans and assist the Democracy to
power. That they desire this is shown
from their active work in the doubtful
states. They may do their dirty work,
but it is not going to succeed this year.
Honest temperance people got enough
of that business four years ago, and the
st. John episode won't be repeated.

President CLEVELAND knew what he
was about when he appointed Melville
W. Fuller to be chief justice, and Il
would have been we'll if the Republican
Senators had looked into the record Of
Mr.. Fuller trifle closer before they el.
evated him to such prominent posi-.
ton. The New York World of May 3
1888, contained an interview with Fuller
who said:
I'm my judgment the demand for the
reduction Of taxation and the demand
for access TO foreign markets, already
urgent, are about to become so impeIa-
lively pressing that the campaign Of 'Si
will necessarily be fought out upon the
tariff question, as was that of forty years
before, and with like result.
eff there be any one principle TO
which the Democratic party is commit
ted, it is to tariff for revenue only" y
eve are living under a Wing Admin
Istration to-day. If that is what the
country demands so be it; but it is I'M
possible for the people to assume that by
electing a Democratic President they
can expect to prolonga protective tariff. I"
Mr.. Fuller is now in place where his
utterances amount to something, wheth-
er he does or not. The reasons why
Grover ignored so many other able men
and pulled Fuller out Of obscurity are
well shown in this extract. He is rank
free trader, and is put into position
where he may do deadly injury to the
policy of protection. Had be not been
of this mind it would have been cold
day before Cleveland would have put
him on the supreme bench. The hlg Oh
est tribunal of the country has been
prostjtuted TO the benefit of the free
traders.

STRUCK SALT WATER.

The latest development in the search
for natural gas is the striking of vein OF
salt water. The salt is plainly manifest,
even after the water has mixed with the
other two flowing streams that gush out
from the top, and the sediment is dis
tinctly seen. The well Is now down to
the depth of $50 feet. In the Eastern
gas regions the finding of a vein of salt
water, which is quite common, Is the
signal for the abandonment of well, as
experience has taught that gas is not to
be found there, or at least that it is not
of good quality. In some cases, how
ever, by means of plugs the flow of wa
ter has been shut off and drilling re-
sumed. A meeting of the stockholders
of the Coal, Gas, Oil and Mineral Co.,
was held Thursday night, when the
question of continuing the boring will be
decided.
