FLOUR GOES UP
Under the Impetus of Better De-
mand and Stronger Power.


mand and Stronger Power.
From the rain and melting SHOWS the
water in the river has risen steadily,
and is at a good milling stage. The ice
has about disappeared, except that
which hangs about the falls, leaving the
mill pond clear, while the water has
risen to the level of the dam works at
the head Of the apron. The Northwest
ern Miller will say tomorrow:
The mills at last have all the water
power they can use, and the platform
presents the most active appearance
in a long time. There was no great
improvement in the water uutil Sun
day; but a majority of the mills
showed an increase in their product
last week, aud the flour output was
swelled to proportions not before
touched in five months. The total
amount of flour made for the week was
l31. 400 bble.-averaging 21,900 bbls.
daily-against 123,750 bbls. the week
before, and 155, 400 bbls. for the CORE
spending time in 1887. Since Sunday
there has been full head Of water,
and the mills have not been slow to use
it. There are to-day twenty mills in
operation, and at their fullest capacity.
Only three remain idle, one of these
having its power apparatus under re-
pair, and the other two being without
modern equipments. The number of
engines in use has been reduced from
eight to two, and these are kept con
nected only to be used in the posi-
BILE emergency OF the water being
drawn down. There is an evil
dent desire to run as strong as
possible, and everybody seems to be
bending his energies to that end:
The daily product for the week will
likely exceed $4,000 barrels. There has
been a moderate demand for flour dur
ing the past week, and some fair sales of
patents and bakers have been made for
export. The strength developed the
past two days in wheat has caused mill
ers to put up prices about loo per barrel,
and a good trade is expected to follow.
The direct exports of flour for the week
were $1,000 barrels, against 1890
barrels the preceding week.

A TEMPERANCE SERMON.
Patrick Kelly, a Drunk, Pleads
for Mercy and Gets Ten DAYS.

"Patrick Kelly" called Clerk Daley
in the municipal court yesterday morn
ing. A woful-looking man, with two
or three big cuts near his left eye, and
that useful organ closed, arose and
looked appealingly at Judge Mahoney.
"What do you plead to the charge of
drunkenness?" asked the clerk.
Kelly turned his sound eye toward
the judge. winked twice, and replied:
II know | was drunk, your honor, but
that is all that can be said against me.
Give me a chance to pull myself to-
gether. | cannot help drinking whisky,
and if you will let me go this time will
go away from here to place where |
cannot get the stuff. | have just spent
two months in the work house, and
don't want to spend the spring and
summer there, so don't send me up, but
give me chance. Only let me go this
one time and | will do better"
The appeal did not work, and Judge
Mahoney coldIy remarked Five dol
lars or ten days" AS the poor fellow
left the court room tear rolled from
his sound eye down his cheek, and
dropped with splash on the dirty floor.

THIS IS DIFFERENT.

The First Time An Officers Testi-
mony Did Not Outweigh Others.
Considerable complaint is being made
that Judge Mahoney, of the municipal
court, is dismissing altogether too many
cases, and cases, too, where the evil
dence is clearly against the prisoners.
The police are feeling somewhat ratified
over this order Of things, and some of
the force even express doubt as to
whether or not the honorable judge
would convict if every member of the
police was on hand to testify in case.
Said a well-known attorney yesterday,
after the men arrested while Sitting at a
gambling table, with cards in their
hands and money in front of them, were
discharged: sit strikes me that new
deal should be had, and that at once.
When police court judge takes the
word of a lot of men who live
without working in preference to
that Of four trusty policemen,
it is time we should have a
new Judge. 1t seems strange that Judge
MahOney should take the word of these
gamblers, that they we're not gambling,
when they were arrested in room no
torious for gambling, with cards and
money in their hands. Those things
cannot lie, yet the judge discharges the
prisoners, and virtually tells the four
officers who made the arrest that they
are liars, and that he would not believe
them under OATH"
This is not the first time Judge Ma
hony has discharged a prisoner when
there was plenty of evidence against
him, and the question naturally arises,
what is Judge Mahony fishing for? Is
it to establish areputation for leiniency
with the criminals and thus secure their
vote at the next election?" Judge
Bailey, who formerly attended to the
criminal business in the municipal
court, said yesterday that he could not
see how Judge MahOney could discharge
the men arrested for gambling with the
evidence against them.

An Act of Cruelty.

Alfred j. Tumble has begun an ac-
ton against Minnie NJ. TrumbIe, whom
he married in this city Oh the lst of
January, 1888. He says that some time
after said marriage he made the discOv
cry that prior to Jan. and before his
marriage, the defendant had cohabited
with certain persons, from whom she
had contracted a repulsive disease. He
claims that she never informed him of
this fact, but allowed him to suppose
that she was virgin, which was an act
of cruelty. He therefore asks for a di-
vorce on the ground of cruel and inhu-
man treatment

Canadn Wants War

The clustering talk Of Senator Sherman
and others about the purchase of Canada
has excited the bitterest resentment on the
other side of the St. Lawrence.
The Toronto Empire, the chief organ Of
the Canadian government, says that no
country ever took such liberty as the Uni
ted States is taking with Canada without
having first resolved upon war with the in
suited nation. The Empire reminds us
that the Canadians number five million
people, and although they have submitted
in the past to the offensive methods of this
country, the time has come when Canada S
dignity and honor call for more vigorous
policy.
The meaning of all this seems to be that
Canada is fighting mad because we love her
so we'll that we are willing to take her into
the sisterhood of states and pay her debts.
A war cannot very well grow out Of such a
matter, but it is possible that our neiehbors
wiz use the fisheries question as pretext
for opening hostilities.
OF course such war would mean fight
with England. At first it would go hard
with us. In the war of 1912 the British
swarmed over the Canadian border and
held Michigan a whole year. We met with
many disasters, and when peace was finally
secured We had gained nothing.
The situation now is far different. While
we are in no condition for either an offe II
sive or defensive war, 1t would not take
more than q year to get everything ready
for successful operations on land and sea.
AT the end Of the trouble it is not likely
that we would be satisfied with the running
of new boundary line or a few resolutions
on paper. Canada would be ours by con
quest, and our people would be in no mood
10 let the enemy 50 on easy terms,
The Canadians viii ind it to their inter
est TO keep in good humor with us. \
friendly proposition to cultivate closer rela-
tions with them does not justify letting slip
the dogs of war.

Is Crlme on the lncrense 2

Mr.. +. Ii. Wines, an authority on the
subject, recently read a paper before the
national prison congress, in which he took
tho position that crime is on the Increase.
This view of the situation has been elab-
orately eontroverted, and the optimists are
always ready with the declaration that we
hear of more crime now simply because our
news.g gathering facilities are better than
they were IN old times.
Mr.. Wines deals only wish recent figures.
lie boldly says that our prison population
has greatly increased since 1850, and this
increase is much greater among the native
citizens than among the foreign population.
In 1850 there were five times more foreign
ers than natives In prison, but in 1850 there
were not more than twice rs many foreign
ers compared with the natives.
According to statistics our native whites
are addicted to crimes Of interest, while the
foreigners generally yield to passion, with
the exception Of Eaglishmen, Canadians
and Scotchmen, who rarely commit crimes
of passion. The foreigners furnishing the
greatest percentage of crime are Italians,
Spanlards, Russians, Swiss, South Amcri-
cans, HoIlander5 and Irshmon. The Irish
furnish fewer criminals than any foreign
nation.
Among the native whites Is found the
smallest percentage OF disorder, and the
largest percentage Of immortality. The
most disorder and the least immortality, the
statistics say, are TO be found among the ne
groes. In n review of Mr.. Wlnes's article

They Should Go Home.

II Is time That congress should adjourn.
IT'S days of usefulness are over, at least for
the present session, the prolongation of
which can result in nothing but a steady
annoyance to the whole country
1t lei very difficult matter for either
branch to secure a quorum, and day after
day the unyarying spectacle is presented Of
handful of men in either house meeting
and adjourning without being able to &C
complish anything of any importance to the
country
Most Of the members have gone to their
homes, and viii return certainly not before
the presidential election, il congress is in
session at that time; and it now seems that
the session will be an indefinitely long one.
The present session is already the longest
one on record, and now that the members
have achieved this distinction, there is but
little necessity for them to tax the patience
of the people any longer. If there was any
good that could come Of it, or any real ne
cessity to continue the session, it would be
a different matter; but there is no earthly
excuse for congress to hold on in the man
ner in which it is now doing, with the
majority of its members away, and those
that are there doing nothing but killing
time.
Give us a rest, gentlemen, and come
back TO the bosom of your dear constituents,
for if You continue this foolishness much
longer, tho people will not be inclined to
give you such another opportunity.

struck eleven, twelve and one, bnt the
speaker kept right on.
How long would he speak? The mem
bers in a spirit of fun omitted to adjourn
for dinner, but DeCosmos spoke on without
break. At six o'clock he was still on the
floor. lie was forced by the speaker to
stick to the question, and was not allowed
to pause except to take drink of water.
The majority decided to continue the
session through the night, slipping out in
small parties to eat and sleep. Still, with
out faltering, the orator poured forth his
torrent of words. This was the situation
at midnight; and also when the morning
sun flooded the hall with the light Of day.
AS the hour hand of the clock pointed to
twelve, the limit prescribed by law for the
session had arrived and the legislature stood
adjourned sine die. At the last stroke of
twelve the brave DeCosmos stopped in the
middle Of sentence, and fell fainting in
his seat.
He had spoken, standing on his feet,
twenty-six hours. His eyes were bleared
and red, and his parched lips were cracked
and running blood. He was nearly dead,
but he had prevented the bill from becom-
ing a law, and had savad the settlers their
homes.
DeCosmos may never be heard Of again,
as an orator, but this single speech is
enough to make him famous.

The Alliance Advocate, which is printed
at Montezuma, and which appears to be the
liveliest and most useful Of the alliance Or
gans, warns the members of the organiza-
ton That any haste in establishing state
exchange in Georgia may result in such n
failure as the experiment has met with in
Texas.
The Advocate gives this advice In view of
the fact that the trustees of the state ex-
change are to meet in Atlanta on the 9th
of this month for the purpose of orgariza-
ton.
The losses of the Texas exchange are
probably the result of enthusiasm and mex
perience. In business transactions neither
enthusiasm nor inexperence has place, in
fact business is such proYokingly cold
blooded affair that great many worthy
people refuse to have anything to do with
it, and go into politics instead, where senti-
ment and humbug are allowed full play.
II appears from the statement made in the
Advocate that the Texas exchange has be-
come terribly involved by reason of bad
management. Ithas lost $40, 900 in lump,
and this loss comes out of the pockets of
the farmers who compose the alliance.
1t is to be hoped that the experiment in
Georgia will have no such disastrous result.

Old ,Cumn in His Dotage.

That ancient but enthusiastic incendiary,
General w. T. Sherman, has broken out
again in a bitter and ungenerous TRADE
against the people of the south.
The North American Review contains his
last charge against the people Of the south,
in which the following appears:
The northern people will not long permit the
negro vote TO be suppressed and yet be counted
in the political game against them. The negroi ,tst
be allowed to vote, and his vote must be counted,
otherwise, so sure as there is God in heaven, you
will have another war, more cruel than the last,
when the torch and dagger will take the place of
the muskets Of welIordered battalions. Should
the negro strike that blow in seeming justice, there
will be millions to assist them.
The negroes and the white people of the
south have lived together too many years to
have their relations changed, from the pres
ent basis of peace and mutual assistance, to
one of enmity and antagonism by any such
efforts as the above. No doubt General
Sherman and few of his kind, who have
never learned the lessons of peace, prefer
to look on the people of the south as enc
mics rather than as friends and brothers,
and would be glad to see just such a state
of affairs as he pictures existing in the
south; but it will never be. There will be
no other war more cruel than the last, and
if there is, it will be consolation to know
that there cannot be any other general more
cruel than General Sherman.

Brother BIaine's Trusts.

Brother Blaine is the heartiest cam
paigper that the republican party can boast
Of. He is loud talker and an excellent actor.
but recently he has been OVERRIDING his part.
In his Portland speech, delivered shortly
after his arrival in this country from Europe,
he remarked that the trusts "are largely
private affairs, with which neither President
Cleveland nor any private citizen has any
particular right to interfere"
These remarks, widely copied and COM
mentcd on, carried CONSERVATION into the
republican campaign headquarters 1t was
a bold and uncompromising announcement.
and 1t was calculated to commit the repub-
lican party to 4 species of combination more
obnoxious than any which the monopolists
have invented.
Fifteen days afterward Brother Blaine,
warned by letters and telegrams from the
republican managers, made this statement
at Foxcroft in Maine: 81 said in my speech
at Portland that l should not discuss the ad-
yantages or disadvantages of trusts, what
ever they might be, nor shall now. They

cold Hutch's' wheat corner in Chicago
comes under the head of the "private afs'
fairs recently defended by Mr.. Blaine.
The New York Herald calls attention to
the fact that this little private affairs raised
the price of flour So a barrel, and made
bread worth from one and half to two
cents loaf more than it was six weeks
ago. SIT eats into the wages of a poor man
like rat into cheese" Our contemporary
says:
Well the winter is coming on, and shortly we
shall have the mercury down to zero. The three
things the poor most need are slowly climbing out
of reach The coal combine will look after the
matter of fuel and the laborer have the pleas
ure OF freezing to death. The republicans will take
charge of the wooden products and see that the
price Of undershirts is kept at q ruinous figures
The wife and little ones must shiver in calico or
if they don't like that, they catch the pneus
monia and go to q better world. The speeulatorA
in wheat will see the poor man has no bread and
pocket big profits while their victims starve
This private affair business is clean played out;
The government policy that doesn't have an eye to
the laboring classes is already dead and should
have speedy burial, and the political party whicb
ignores their interests should nominate Iscarot fog
president and nail the black flag to the masthead
That would lie simply honest, but perhaps honesty
is too much to expect.
These are strong words but not too strong.
Speculation for the sake of specula}
ton alone should confne itself to luxu+

bread there is danger ahead. When specus
lators combine to starve the poor, the suf{
ferers will not be hampered by any very
nice scruples when they get ready to take
their revenge.
