A Heavy Snow Storm.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. ~. -
Trere was a heavy snow storm in
northern Minnesota yesterday, and
the beautiful snow lies deeper in
that section than at any time be-

At Tower, the snow is thirteen in.

Eliot, it lies twelve inches on the
level. There was no wind, and
consequently no drifting. Some
snow fell IN central Minnesota and
northern Dakota Saturday, but it
melted almost as soon as it fell. II

IN FREE TRADE ENGLAND.
WHAT A NEW Jersey CLERGYMAN
SAW WHILE IN EUROPE.

In letter to the Trenton State
Gazette, the Rev. Thomas Hanion,
one of the leading Methodist di.
vines in New Jersey, says regard
ing his recent visit to Europe:
"At the docks in Glasgow, Scot
land, saw women with wheelbar-
rows heavily laden in line with
coarse and hard looking men,
wheeling to and from the steam
boats. In the fields, doing all
kinds of Geld work, including the
heavy work of getting hay and
grain, | saw as many women az
men hard at work, and working as
late as eight o'clock in the evening.
saw this 10 England, all the way
from Liverpool TO London. | saw
it in Belgium and Germany, even
to a greater extent than in Eng
land. In the cities OF Antwerp and
Brussels, in Belgium, and in Co
logne, Germany, l saw women
doing the work OF horses. They
we're hitched to carts which were
heavily laden. To one cart, with
nearly a two.hOrse load of truck
for the Cologne markets were
hitched, by ropes across the breast
and around the waist, q young man
and young woman-brother and
sister, evidently, for there was
strong family resemblance - and
the load was 80 heavy that the two
were compelled TO stop every TWEEN

start the load. 1 noticed the young
girl especially. She would pull
till every joint and muscle in her
body fairly trembled before the
load would start. For all this
hard toll and these long hours each
day, the wages paid were scarcely
half of what is paid to our laboring
classes. This is true of all kinds
of labor In Europe. ] do not won
der that every ship from those
lands is heavily freighted with
steerage passengers for these hos
pitable shores. 1t will indeed be a
sad day for the labOring man when,
by the vote of the American people,
the blessings of American protec-
ton to labor shall give place to the
pauperlzing competition OF tESe

THE RECEIvERsHIP.

No patron of the HERALD need
be frightened off by the announce
ment of a Receivership.
THIS was necessary in the opinion
of the court because Of personal
and other differences among the
owners and editors.
The Receiver Is to settle all the
business of the office till the court
shall make its decree in January,
but the political and editorial con-
troll OF the paper remains as 1t was.
The pecuniary status OF the
HERALD is made better by the
Receivership and the end must be
a conclusion of the Earring in the
Office. I.H
No patron need apprehend that
the HERALD will "stOp," or that it
will cease to be Republican under
the editorial management it has
had since it donnsd the Republican
garb.
We hope our patrons will aid
Mr.. w. T. Williams in his hard
task by making settlements as
speedily as possible.
The HERALD is one of the es-
tablished enterprises Of the county
and OF the county seat. No man
says it does not measure up to the
standard. All our citizens feel q
Just pride in it, and Mr.. Williams
will exert himself to adjust its
business, and steadfastly refrain
from any interference with the po-
litical management and control till
all is settled.
A story more comprehensive than
the ordinary love legend will be
told after the court has fixed upon
the time of disposition.

THE UNMISTAKABLE ISSUE.

There has never been a time,
since the President joined battle
with the protective system last
December, when the result was in
doubt. il the issue was clear. No
Democrat will pretend TO deny
that, freed of party prejudice and
side issues, a clear majority OF
American voters prefer the broad
outlines of the system under which
the land has grown great to free
trade or any approach to free trade
All know this. No one doubts it.
If it were not true President Cleve-
land would not have been at his
sOphistical pains to veil the real
effect of the changes be proposed,
changes which, if they were carried
into law, would sweep away three
tourths OF the protective duties now
levied. Were the Democratic party
as whole and in all It's parts
heartily and unanimously in favor
of heavily reducing the protective
tariff, a DemOc ratio House would
not have waited thirteen years be-
fore bringing a bill which reduces
the protection now enjoyed % per
cent. The action now taken and
on which the voters pass in Novem-
Der has been reached only under
pressure from the President, WELD
ing the entire power and patronage
of the federal Administration, and
under the headstrong leadership of
that "blatant free trader, Mills" as
the Philadelphia Times called him
less than a year ago.
In this situation the only hope
of Democratic success lay IN
befogging the issue. To-day the
tide sets toward Harrison, and the
course OF the campaign has all
been IN his favor, because the can
vass has made the issue unmistak-
able. All efforts to middle it
have failed. Day by day it grows
clearer that the voters In NOvem-
Der will vote less for parties or
candidates than for or against the
broad policy of the Republican
party in favor of protection and of
the Democratic party facing to-
wards free trade. Nearly a year
of discussion and agitation has re-
moved all disturbing side issues,
and men are voting with their eyes
wide open either for or against
protection. The voters of the land,
100000 strong, face no dodge or
deception, they are deciding the
case on no bubble or side issue
They are passing judgment on the
main issue: Shall the tariff con-
tinue TO be protective, or shall it
be altered IN the direction aud with
the intent OF bringing free trade
And on this great arbitrament the
verdict is certain. Protection will
prevail.
