The DARKEST HOUR.

For q period of four years I've been VIC
tim of a very severe and agonizing case of
Salt Rheum, which affected my hands to
such an extent thst they almost become a
burden.
My hand become raw and horrifying
compelling me to keep it covered all the
time.
l spent hundreds of dollars for various
preparations, but lustesd OF beneftting my
condition, they all seemed to stimulate and
encourage the progress of the miserable dis
ease, until had about given up all hope
But thank heaven ''the darkest hour is
Just before day." and l am rejoiced to
know that positive cure has been found
which is known as B. B. B.-Botanic Blood
Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical oura-
| tive powers in giving me relief. My hand
has been cured and resembles burnt sur
face after being healed over, more than any,
thing else. 1t has also cured my two chill
dren of loathsome form of Itch which had
resisted all previous treatment. refer 70

THE MoNGoL1AN PLAGUE.

courier journal.
If the policy which BENJAMIN HAIR
SIsoN advocated when in the United
States senate less than five years ago
had been adopted, the badge of servi-
Eude and poverty would have been
fastened upon the laboring people of
America. The hordes of depraved, but
cunning and thrifty, Mongolians which
were settling in the direction of our
shores would have poured in upon the
cities of the United States, and from
there spread into the country, displac-
ing and Supplanting the native and nat
nraliZed workers in every department of
labor, and casting blight over the land
which can scarcely be exaggerated by the
most fertile Imagination. The compar-
atively small number of Chinese who
had reached the Pacific slope before the
congressional action which HARRISON
opposed, had produced at least check
in the movement, have already pro-
duced positive and widespread harm
and excited the strongest apprehensions
among the people of California. The
assertion that this subject is regarded
with indifference to-day in the Pacific
states is refuted by the emphatic testi-
mony of the press, the public speakers,
and the members of congress from that
section.

ILLINOIS ALL RIGHT.

There is substantial reason to believe
that the Democrats will carry Illinois
this year. In speech in the Market
hall convention, Tuesday, Col. Balm, the
Prohibition orator, stated that his party
would poll in the neighborhood of
10000 votes in Illinois this year. He
presented facts and figures to support
the statement which leave little room
to doubt its correctness. But if he was
only half right-if the Prohibition vote
only reaches One-half of BANS esti-
Gratis. Illinois has generally been sup
posed to be strong Republican state,
and yet an analysis of the vote for the
last eight years shows that it is really
one of the most doubtful states.
The Republicans have had good
pluralities, but very small majorlties,
and both pluralities and majOrities have
been diminishing each year. In 1880
GARFIELD's plurality in Illinois was
40,716; and in 1884 BLAINE, with all his
magnetism and LoGAN'S association on
the ticket, could only poll plurality
of 4,S27 over CLEVELAND. That year
the Prohibitionists polled 10000 votes,
and the BUTLER Labor party 10000. So
it is seen that out of 100000 votes cast
in Illinois in 1884 the Republicans only
had the small margin of 1000 majority
a very easy one to overcome with the
favoring conditions that exist this year.
Everything is favorable to the Illinois
Democracy this year. They start in
with strong state ticket against COM
paratively weak one on the Republican
side. Then the growth of tariff reform
sentiment has nowhere been more rapid
or more pronounced than in Illinois
The brutal manner in which HARRI-
SONS supporters treated GRESHAM has
had tendency to cool Republican ardor
in the state that put GRESHAM forward
as a candidate. The Chicago platform
has disgusted the more liberal Repub-
licans, who had grown restive under a
system which compels them to buy their
necessaries in the dearest market. and
to sell their products in the cheapest.
With the Prohibition vote growing
rapidly and the Labor vote coming back
into the Democratic party, there is no
reason why Illinois Democrats should
not take cheerful view of the situation
in their state.

IMPORTANT POINT DECIDED.
Ruling by the Interstate Commits
sion Concerning Classification.

Ruling by the Interstate Commits
sion Concerning Classification.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The inter-
state commerce commission has decided
the cases of Frank l.. Hurlburt against
the Lake Shore 81 Michigan Southern
Railway company and the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. The opinion is by
Chairman Cooley, and decides an i'm
portant point. The complaint was that
hub blocks were put in the fifth class of
freight. They are blocks which are
roughly turned to take off the bark,
hole bored in them to prevent checking,
and the ends dipped in roSin, ,and sawed
off to about the length of a; hub. These,
the defendants claimed, should go into
the fifth class with "wagOn material,
unfinished" and with lumber" in the
sixth class. The railroads claimed that
a hub block is simply stick of small
elm timber, or the logs used in
making hubs, and that the article
furnished by the complainant was not
hub block, but to all intents hub. The
commission, however, did agree with
this contention, but decided that they
are unseas0ned raw material on the
way to the hands OF the manufacturer,
and must therefore be considered as
as they were classed by the roads.
In speaking of the classification in
use by the roads the commissioner says
that it is supposed to be expressed in
plain terms, so that the ordinary busi-
ness man can understand it,and, IN con-
nection with the rate sheets, can do
termine for himself what he can be
lawfully charged for transportation;
and that the company who prepare the
classification after they have given it to
the public have no more authority to
conStrue its meaning than anybody else,
but they must leave the document to
speak f0r itself.

Differences Between 1t and the
Measure Prepared in the House
by Mr.. Mills.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The senate
tariff bill, or substitute for the Mills
bill, it is estimated, reduces the surplus
S65, 100000 to SSO,0O0,OO0. The subcom-
mittee leave the wool tariff as it stands.
Very little change is made in manu-
features of wool beyond the equaliza-
ton of duties on woOlens and wOrStedS.
The duty on sugar is cut down so per
cent. So is the duty on rice. Very lit
tie, change is made from the present
rates ON cotton. The hemp schedule is
untouched, save to correct some minor
details. and flax, which Mr. Mills wants
to put on the free list, is very little
changed. Paper fares the same way.
There is a pretty general reduction in
the chemical schedule. There are a
number of changes suggested In the
glass schedule, more in the nature of
revision than reduction. On some
classes of ware the duties are reduced;
on others, which experience has shown
to be insufficiently protected. they are
increased. Chinaware, porcelainS, ETC.,
are cut down about per cent. Lead is
made dutiable at 21a per cent; pig iron
is unchanged, and steel rails are fixed
at S14 ton. The tobacco tax is wiped
out and alcohol used in the arts made
free. Republican senators say this bill
will probably not be reported from the
committee on finance until next week,
and that the debate upon it will not be-
gin until the week after. 1t is the gen.
eral estimate that congress will be in
session until the latter part of Septem-

RAMSEY COUNTY DEM MoCRArs

The Democratic primaries passed off
quietly last evening, and, while there
was active and earnest work in some of
the wards among the partisans of the
two tickets in the field. still harmony
with big Ii prevailed in every local
ity. and thoroughly representative set
of delegates elected to the county con-
Yention, which assemblies to-day. 1t is
now demonstrated beyond all question
that the Democrats of Ramsey county
are fully capable of conducting their
own affairs without outside interfer-
ence, and that they are determined to
stand together and to pull together in
the great effort that is to be made
this fall to redeem Minnesota from Re-
publican miSrule and to have the electo-
raj vote of this state cast for CLEyE-
LAND and THURMAN.
1t will devolye upon the convention
which assemblies to-day to select twenty
eight delegates to represent Ramsey
county in the next Democratic state
convention. The character of the gen.
tlemen elected as delegates to the
county convention is a sufficient guar
antee that the delegates to be chosen to
the state convention will be fit repre-
sentatives of the Democracy of this
county, and whatever interests Ramsey
county may have at stake in that con-
yention will be fully protected.
The fact should not be lost sight of
that the next Democratic state conven-
ton will be the most important ever
held in this state. Success is within

Upon Yachting Trim.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The presi-
dent left here at II o'clock this morning
by the Pennsylvania railroad for New
York. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom and Col. La
mont. The greatest secrecy is observed
about the presidents plans. The EN-
plOyeS of the White house are under
special instructions to say nothing what
ever OH the subject. From other sources.
however, it is learned that the presi-
dent and the postmaster general will
take a short yachting trip from New
York in company with few friends,
who will join them at New York. The
trip will last two or three days. The
president said before leaving that he
would be at the White house again
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Cleveland and
Mrs. Folsom will leave the party at
New York and continue on to Marion,
Mass, where thoy will remain several
days, probably as the guests of Mr..
Glider, editor of the Century magazine.
Secretary Whitney was to have accom-
panied the president, but gave up the
trip at the last moment.
STAPLEToN, S. l., July 26.-Joseph f.
Stickney's steam yacht Susquehanna
left here this morning for Adams Ex-
press cOmpany'S pier, Jersey City,
where the president and Mrs. Cleveland,
who are expected to arrive at O'clock,
will board the yacht for a four days
cruise as the guests of Mr.. Stickney.
The trim yacht was covered with bunt-
ing from stem to stern.
NEW YORK, July 26.-PresidentC Cleve-
land is now aboard the steam yacht Sus-

chant and owner of the yacht. In the

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Officials of
the Indian Office express no surprise at
the reports which come from the Sioux
reservation concerning the attitude of
the Indians toward the opening of the
reservation. The general impression is
that the Indians are playing in the
hands of the squaw men and half-breeds
interested in maintaining the reservation,
but great confidence is expressed in the
ability of the commission to obviate this
difficulty. 1t is also said that the cupid
ity OF the Indians prompted to the delay
and they exhibit hostility to the matter
merely in the hopes of gaining addi-
tional offers and greater inducements
for opening the reservation. When they
find nothing will be accomplished other
than what the commissioners are au-
thorized to present the Indians will re-
cede from their opposition and agreS to
the propositions. The commissioner of
Indian affairs believes Sitting Bulls
disaffectiOn in the matter of Gall as
principal spokesman will tend to bring
that savage into agreement as one Of
the first SignerS in due season.

LEADS THE WORLD,
Summary of the Mineral Products
of the United States for 1887

WASHINGTON, July 26.-David T.
Day, chief of the division of mining
statistics, has submitted summary of
the mineral products of the United
States in 1887 in advance of the official
report. The total value is S53S, ,O56, ,345.
1t shows wonderful gain over 1856,
and is S100, 900 greater than the out
put of 1885. The United States leads
the world in the production of minerals.
The principal gains in 1887 were In the
production of metallic ores and the
fuels necessary for melting them.
The production of pig iron alone
increased more than S26, 100000. The
high price of copper caused notable ex-
pansiOn in that industry. The product
of coal is the largest ever recorded.
Taken as whole the report shows as
great prosperity for the mining indus
try. For the grand total value of more
than $500, 100000, the report says, re-
suited not only from an increase in the
quantity of minerals mined, but also
from general advance in the prices of
metals. 1t may be several years before
this total is exceeded, and the year 1888
will fall considerably below it. Among
many reasons for the decrease, this
year, is the decline in railroad building.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

The House Discusses the Okla
homa Bill-Arguments Pro and
Con.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-Discussion
OF the Oklahoma bill occupied most of
the time of the house to-day, but with
out action the bill went over until to-
morrow. The house during the morn
ing hour discussed the bill to provide
for postoffice buildings throughout the
country, according to plans recon-
mended by the pOStoffice committee.
The morning hour expired without
action on the bill, and the house went
into committee of the whole on the
Oklahoma bill. Mr.. Hoover, of Missis-
sippi, opposed the bill and protested
against the government taking the
lands which had been given to the Indi-
ans and converting it into white mans
territory under the form of legalized
robbery. Mr.. Stockdale, of Mississippi,
favored the bill, and denied that there
was any scheme of robbery in it.
Mr.. Perkins, of Kansas, favored the
bill. Oklahoma, he said, was a great
asylum to which desperadoeS looked for
protection. He intended that the bill
would not take an acre of land from
the Indians in violation of treaty stipu-
lations.
Mr.. Simms, of Colorado, remarked
that the bill provided for
commission to treat with
the Indians for their lands in the usual
way.
Mr.. Cobb, of Alabama. said the usual
way" to treat the Indians, and to which
he objected was with rifle in one hand
and an AK in the other. He thought it
time the ''usual way" should cease.
Mr.. Cannon, in supporting the bill,
said there would have been no trouble
about this whole matter were it not that
an individual white man was put off the
Cherokee strip at the point of the bay
Onet, while cattle syndicatos fenced in
100000 or 100000 acres of land and
kept possession Of it Notwithstanding
the opinion of the attorney general that
they had no right to do so. Pending
vote on an amendment to the bill the
committee rose. The fortification bill
was reported from the appropriations
committee. and at 5 O'Clock the house
took recess till s p. M, the night Ses-
sion to be devoted to bills reported
from the cmmittee on the Judiciary.

Jennison Approves.

Red Wing Republican.
1t is not difficult to understand how Knute
Nelson may have felt it his duty to vote for
the Mills bill. He wanted, as his constitu-
ents did ana do want, revision of the tariff
and reduction of tariff taxation. He told
congress and the country what his idea was
of tariff reduction and how he stood on the
repeal of internal revenue taxes. The Re-
publicans of his district and of the state ap-
proved of his views in the main upon both
kinds of taxation. The Mills bill, with much
that was Objectionable, contained some of
the reductions which he favored. On the
other hand his own party had just taken a
position at Chicago which notified him that
he could not hope to obtain them through its
initiation.

Live Stock Rates From Kansas
City and Western Points Greatly
Muddled.
CHICAGO, June 26.-Live stock rates
from Kansas City and other Western
points to Chicago are seriously demoral-
lied. The regular rate from Kansas
City to Chicago Is $50 per car, but the
Milwaukee & st. Paul and other roads
are accused of taking the business at
S45, a cut of s15. On cattle direct from
Texas points all the roads accept pro-
portion of $33.75, in view of which it is
not strange that rate of $50 locally
from Kansas City to Chicago cannot be
maintained. At a meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the various roads inter-
ested in the cattle traffic from points
west of the Missouri river an agreement
regarding the maintenance of uniform
rates could not be effected, but it was
decided to again make thirty-foOt cars
the standard for carload instead of
thirty-foaI-fOot cars, as has been the
practice for the last few months. In
spite of this some of the roads continue
to allow cars of larger dimensions than
thirty feet to be shipped at carload
rates.

IF.

If, when her eyes meet mine my eyes are
sealed
BY the last twilight that shall ever fall,
With life and hope forever past recall,
And all their longing by deaths love kiss
healed,
Perhaps forgiveness, like some lily fair,
May bloom for him who sleeps so soundly
there.
If, under shadows that could never cease,
| was at rest, forevermore at rest
4 simple wildwood flower on my breast,
If placed there by her hand might send me
peace
violet cluster taking from the skies
The summer depths of her sad, violet eyes.
If in the silence of that last long sleep,
She could but read the mystery and see
That she alone was all life held for me.
Mayhap across her heart one, pang would
sweep.
To think that even death could make no less
The souls dim sense of utter loneliness.
And if at last we wandering shall meet
In heavenly fields of asphodel above.
Will the remembrance of our buried love
Make the white paths of paradise less
sweet
If in the byways of that far-of land
Our journeys cross by some lone stream,
and we together stand!
