R. G. Dun & Co.'S Review of
Trade for week ending January 10,
1889: "Mild weather still retards
business, while the agreement OF
bankers to discourage railroad build
ing is cause for anxiety among iron
manufacturers.
Low prices for boots and shoes are
explained by the fact that the manu-
facturers can supply 10O,000,000
people, and their output is only used
by 65,00O,OO0. * The
open winter affects marketing OF
goods by farmers, and retards col.
lections; but the money markets are
we'll supplied and easy, though al
some the demand is good. While
actual dulness of trade is complained
of occasionally, at most points bust.
ness is called quiet or fair for the
season."

SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOR'S.

1t requires no extravaganza exhibition
of candor to presume that the Repub-
Iicans will be able to elect the first two
senators from South Dakota. Any other
result would be surprise. The sena-
tors elected by the legislature that grew
out of the Sioux Falls constitution sent
Judge EDGERTON and Judge MOODY to
Washington to look for seats in the
senate. Now, that there are to be real
senators. it would seem that the Repub-
licans would recognize the claims of
these gentlemen. They went to Wash
ington and tried hard enough to secure
admission. 1t is evident, however, that
EDGERTON is to be thrown over for
FRANK PETTIGREW. The latter has
made half million dollars or more out
of his Dakota investments, and can well
afford to go to the senate. He is one of
the old-time. shrewd politicians that
were so notable in the early days. His
motto is that of JUD LA INQUIRE: "Get
there, Eli" He has placated the Yank-
ton heart, exasperated by threat to
make grass grow in its streets, and
wagers that he will take one of the
prizes are regarded as safe. MOODY
and PETTIGREw will average up well
among the plutocrats.

A DIPLOMATS ERROR.

Minister REID has reached Paris in
safety. and has had formal welcome.
He embraces his first leisure moments
to send back message to the journal
istic fraternity in this country that he
is none the less newspaper man be-
cause of his promotion to an important
diplomatic mission. We are not dis
posed to question Mr.. Reds sincerity,
or to doubt for moment the honesty of
his belief that he is still a good news
paper man. But he is laboring under a
horrible delusion. A good newspaper
man cannot be tied up by the obliga-
tons he places himself under when he
accepts political office. The sphere of
the true journalist is one of freedom
and independence. That of the politi-
clan is one of vassalage.
Moreover, Mr.. REID has accepted a
position which completely disqualifies
him for newspaper work, and he will
never again hold his old rank in the
profession. The duties of diplomat
require him to conceal the truth from
the public and to cultivate the quality
of secretiveness. That doesn't fit the
requirements of newspaper work,
where the truth is earnestly sought for
and publicity given to everything that
possesses the element of news. What
ever he may think now, Mr.. REID will
find out, before his term expires, that
his present station has nothing in har-
mony with the life of journalist.

ENGLISH TIpPLERS,

There is more difference between the
people of this country and England in
their drinks than in most other social
features. The late budget of the chan
cellOr affords some data on the subject.
That government derives more than
half of its revenue from the taxes on
the drinks of the people. These are
classed as the sober drinks and the
spirituous. The figures for several
years show that the people are not
drinking up to their capacity, the in
crease not keeping pace with the popu-
latiOn. The revenue last year was
S135, 100000 from intoxicants and $685.
100000 from temperance drinks. OF the
latter, tea is the great staple. They
use that greatly in excess of this cOun-
try, averaging five pounds per head to
less than one and half in the United
States. But they don't use coffee as
Americans do. The English use less
than pound while the United States
citizen consumes seven pounds. On
the strong drinks, the chief difference is
in the malt beverages. These are more
generally used in England than in this
country. Prohibition movements are
not making great progress anywhere
over the water.

rHEpHELps COMPROMISE.

We have the information from Berlin
that the British commissioners are dis
satisfied with Mr.. PHELPS compromise
for settlement of the Samoan diff
Guilty and which was recommended by
the subcommittee. The PHELPS plan
recommends that the municipal council
of Apia shall consist Of six members,
one to be chosen by each of the three
governments that are parties to the Ber-
lin conference, and the other three
members to be elected by the citizens
of Apia. There is nothing unfair about
this proposition. for in fact nothing fair
er could be suggested. But it is no sur
prise that the British commissioners eX-
press dissatisfaction, because, as we have
heretofore outlined in these columns. it
was clearly the policy of Lord SALISBURY
to utilize the position of the British gov
eminent, as arbiter between Germany
and the United States, to British advan-
tage. The British commissioners went
into the Berlin conference with the full
belief that the differences between this
country and Germany were irreconcil-
able, and to diplomat of SALISBURY
experience it must have seemed splen-
did opportunity for the British govern
ment to play the part of the monkey in
the fable who undertook to settle the
quarrel between the two cats over
slice of cheese. SALIsBURY's plan
was to make a show OF fairness
to the two disaffected powers by
breaking the cheese into two pieces,
and then keep nibbling at each
piece, with an apparent show of
giving an equal division, until the whole
was consumed. The PHELPS compro-
mise, however, blocks the game on the
British commissioners. With the Ger
man and American commissioners both
asserting to it. there is no place left for
an arbiter, and England will be forced
to take just what the others get; no
more, no less. 1t is gratifying to OBJ
serve that the Samoan trouble promises
such speedy and satisfactory termina-
ton, fact that is probably due to
BIsMARCK's discovery of SALIsBURY's
scheme

NOVEL BUT GOOD.

The Omaha Bee understands that the
people of North Dakota contemplate
putting in their new constitution the
rather novel provision in the constitu-
ton of Nebraska, allowing the voters
at an election of the legislature
that has United States senator
to choose. to indicate their prefer
ence for senator on their ballots.
The impression Of the Omaha paper is
that the July convention will incorpor-
ate such provision in their work, and
provide for an expression at the October
voting as to who shall be sent to the
senate by the legislature to be chosen
at that time. This vote would not be
legally binding, but the legislature
would be slow to disregard clear pop
ular preference. AS there will be two
senators to elect, such an expression
would add much to the interest of the
election. 1t is not, however, popular
idea with the men who run the party
machines, OF are adopts i'll the arts that
controls legislatures. These classes
have antagonized the provision in Ne
braska. and prevented its having fair
test, in various ways. 1t is possible
that the people will have more influence
in affairs in North Dakota.

MINIsTER RICE's DEATH.

The announcement of THoRNDYKE
RICE's death was both pain and a
surprise. OF the many newspaper men
who have been signally honored by this
administration there was none more
popular than Mr.. RICE, and no one
whose appointment was more univer-
sally commended. He was quite a
young man to held such an important
place in our diplomatic service, and yet
no one questioned his ability to dis
charge the duties of first-class mis-
sion, and no one begrudged him his
distinction. During his editorial man.
agement of the North American Review
he revolutioniZed magazine literature.
by inaugurating the system of printing
only such magazine articles as treated
of current topics, and kept his periodical
up abreast of the times. 1t was more
as recognition of his literary ability
than OF any signal political service that
he was appointed minister to Russia.
A brilliant career was opening up be-
fore him, but his sun went down while
it was yet day.

GOV. aILL,s MISTAKE.

Gov. HILL is shrewd politician who
usually knows the winning cards in
New York politics. but if he has the
presidential ambition with which he is
accredited. he played a mighty poor
game in national politics when he We
toed the SAXON reform bill. 1t-was ex-
pected of him because most of the New
York politicians are imbued with the
idea that the whole nation is cOncen-
trated in New York, and it must be adj
mitted that the Democratic party, by
it's persistency in taking presidential
candidates from that state, has done a
good deal toward confirming that Opin-
ion. 1t is notable fact. however, that
the Republicans show Partially for
Western candidates. and the only
time they have lost national
years was when they failed to
follow their rule of taking Western
man. In investigating the causes for so
many Republican victories, the Demo-
cratic leaders are beginning to be i'm
pressed with the necessity for change
in the geographical favoritism of the
party, and as result New York will
not be the important factor in nominal
ing conventions hereafter that it has
been in the past. But if New York is
again to be looked to by the national
Democracy for presidential candidate.
it will be for the same reasons that led
to the nominations of SEYMOUR, TIL
DEN and CLEVELAND, to find man
without spot or blemish, and whose past
record would be an assurance that he
would he a genuine reformer.
Gov HILL has proved himself to be a
brilliant and dashlng leader in the
Empire State politics, and in few in
stances has shown himself capable of
resisting the pressure of the machine.
His bad political education had been
overlooked, and his apparent treachery
in the last election had been forgiven
and forgotten. Hopes were being en-
tertained that his second administra-
ton as governor of the great state
of New York would be signalized
by such evidences of reform spirit as
attracted the attention of the nation to
the gubernational administrations of
SAMUEL j. TILDEN and GROVER
CLEVELAND; and in that event the ma
tiOnal Democracy would not have been
compelled to spend time in hunting for
a candidate for the presidency in the
next race. His veto of the SAXON re-
form bill has dispelled those hopes.
However good politics the exercise of
the veto in this direction may have
been in New York state, where the
machine is power. it will have
damaging effect on Gov. HILLS pros
poets for the presidency. The national
Democracy cannot afford to put up
candidate who has made record in
opposition to a free vote and a fair
count, and if it commits such folly
it will merit the defeat that it will
invite

LONDON, May 16.-Last night at Shore
ditch John Morley, vino addressed
meeting of Liberals there, condemned
speech made recently by Gen. WoIseley
at Oxford, in which the latter said many
harsh things about the Liberals. Mr..
Morley said: 1T is bad sign for the
welfare of the country when an officer
OF her majesty's army stoops to do the
dirty work of the Primrose league. 1t is
indecent that servant of the crown
should impute bad motives to men who
have been and may again be his col
leagues and superiOrs." Mr.. Morley
also declared that the government must
be hard pressed when they were forced
to employ the army and governments
employees to defend their wavering
cause. 1t is again rumored that
the queen will visit Ireland and
remain there week, with the
hope of creating reaction in favor
of the government by her royal pres
ence. The same report says that she
Will hold drawing room at Dublin
castle and review the Irish troops at the
Curragh of Kildare. The Curragh Of
Kildare is tract of crown land where
reviews yearly take place, and where
races are run. The queens presence in
Ireland will undoubtedly give an In
petus to loyal tOryism there, but Irish
men are of the opinion that little
royal interest shown in the sufferings
of the Queens starving subjects would
effect more good than drawing room
at the castle, at which only the aris-
tocrats will be represented. Scientist
Jansen, of the MendOn observatory, has
recently been engaged in examining the
electric lights on the Eiffel tower in the
Paris exposition grounds with a spec
trOscOpe. He finds that at distance Of
eight miles oxygen is present in group
OF electric rays tested after the man
ner of solar spectrum. Prof. Jansen
therefore concludes that this effect is
due to oxygen in the atmosphere. There
is no oxygen evident in a solar spec
trum. The spectra of the sun are white.
Preparations are making to receive

Some very ominous mutterings are
heard in various localities of the state
against Gov. Merriam, which are not
altogether just or reasonable, but they
exist in such influential quarters that
his friends well may be alarmed. The

We can't understand why Senator
Ward, of Waseca, desires to be United
