question of the comparative purity
and disinterestedness of these mo ives

content to let the people Of Mitchell
decide.
The REPUBLICAN will submit to that
sort of arbitration at any and all
times, and is perfectly willing to be
judged on its past, its present and its
future policy in the same court. 1t
will stand by the record from start To
finish, and will compare "motives and
inspirations" with any of its cotempo-
raries, be they wide-gauge or narrow
guage. falr-minded or csoss-eyed with
envy and jealousy. The REPUBLICAN
has stood up before the people of
Mitchell six days out Of the week for
five years, coming the Goth inst, and
up to date has no fault to find with
their expressions of confidence or their
judgment on its character and it's
course.
With this, we dismiss the contro-
Yersy with the Gazette, on its own sug-
gestlon and at its own terms.

n A curious state of affairs exists over
in Iowa where the republican party
has been more distinctively in favor
.of prohibition than anywhere else in
the Union. In the recent legislative
elections. if there was any one partic-
sular issue it was prohibition, and it
would seem as though the most rabid
advocate of the measure ought to
have been satisfied with straight re-
publican nominees. But, according
sto the Sioux City Journal, such was
rnot the case. In one djstric. the
lthird-party people put up ticket and
gave it $50 votes, and the democratic
anti-prohjbitionist was elected by less
than half that figure. In another dis
trict republican was defeated by one
vote, the returns showing number of
sthird-party ballots; and in still another
4 2 appointment prohibitionist, who Was
defeated for a legislative nomination,
bOited and defeated a republican pro-
htbitionist by q few votes. 1t is not
surprising, therefore. in view of these
facts that the Journal reaches the fol-
lowing conclusions:
IL the present prohibitory laws in
Iowa are repealed this winter, as it
seems practically certain they Will be,
the third-party prohibitionists have
themselves in a measure to thank for
lsit.

| Uprising in Brazil the Result of the De.
| testation in which Princess Isabelle Is
| Held.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-The news received
here of revolution in Rio De Janeiro as
the result of desire on the part of the
populace for the establishment Of re-
public on the ruins OF the empire created
feeling OF profound surprise, but caused
noeacitement. For many years the empire
OF Brazil has been regarded as existing
| under the most liberal of monarchial
governments of the earth, and, accord
ing to its subjects as great a degree of
liberty as is enjoyed by the citizens OF
any republic, with the possible exception
of the United States, and certainly more
than the citizens OF the nominal republic
of France ever dreamed of. Scarcely
more than a year ago the daughter OF
the Gen. Dom Pedro, emperor of Brazil,
acting as regent in the absence of her
father, who was at the time critically
ill in Europe, signed a decree emancipat-
ing the slaves throughout the empire in
advance Of the time when they would
become tree by the operation of law
fissing Tie time for their manumission.
This ACT while it was hailed with Joy by
the Masses was
Lxecra1etl by the Upper Glasses
as an attempt on the part of Princess
isabelle to win popular favor at their
expense and even at the expense of her
father, in whose ostensible interest she
WAS acting. The operation of the de-
cree failed to modify the detestation in
which the lleiress to the throne was held
oy the people, and it certainly did not
enhance the respect felt by the powerful
classes for Dom Pedro, since they openly
declared their belief that the emperor
should have remained at home and
guarded the interests OF his people in
stead OF going abEosili, even i'll quest of
improved health: and leaving them
..t the Mercy Of an Intriguing Woman
who had nothing to distinguish her but
plications growing out of the direct vio-
lation OF the governments faith with the
slave-holding class involved i'll the vol
untary emancipation of the slaves in ad-
vance Of the time fixed by law, We're ull-
dol:btedly the beginning which culmin-
ated in the present uprising, whatever
may be It's immediate cause, and The
I,read et the Succession of the Princess
Isabelle
to the throne. which fills the heart of the
lover classes, is not unlikely another inn
l,ortai,t factor in the popular endeavor
10 ats. one more TO the lis of South
American republics. No monarch was
ever lnpie beloved by his people than is
Dom = lro, but the very spirit of democ-
racy which he has evinced in his every
day life and contact with his subjects
has. uncuestionably, given them taste
for i.lore license and a closer participa-
tic, in public affairs than is contem-
l,lascd by OF is possible under any form
.li monarchy.

A marked instance of the rani

A marked instance OF the rapid de-
velopment OF Dakota talent is the ap-
pointment of Miss Gwyneath King to
the position Of instructor in the Del
sarte system, or that branch of physic-
al culture, in connection with mental
and moral culture in the state unlyer-
sity at Nermillion. Miss King is the
daughter of Hon. John II. King of
Rapid City. She was student at
Yankton college for two years and has
been of late under instruction in emf
nent eastern colleges. She is lady of
rare mental attainments and an elo-
cutionist of ability. With these schol-
astic qualifications she combines a
purity of character and personal charm
which will impress themselves at once
upon her university associates. The
university is most fortunate in secur-
ing Miss King as the head of its Del
sarte department.

HERE'S ENCOURAGEMENT.
Business Is Better Than 1t Has Been for
NIany a Long Day.

NAally u Long LAY.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1G.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: Busi-
ness continues healthy, confident and
unprecedented in volume. Long ago it
was held that the years results would
turn upon the crops, and it is now GER
tain that the yield has been on the whole
about the largest ever known. The
question whether the wheat yield is 20,-
100000 or 30,000,000 bushels below the
maximum is not Important; the cotton
crop will much exceed any previous one,
if the latest official figures are correct,
the corn crop VIII exceed any preceding
by 100000, 600 to G0,000,000 bushels: the
oats crop is also The largest ever known,
and the shortage in potatoes and fruit is
immensely oversl..;dowed by the gain in
meats. The exports of provisions and
cattle in October We're S12.704, 1857 in
value, against 81, ,277 last year,
gain OF W 1-2 per cent, and while the
breadstutfs movement was S145, 900 short
OF last years, the increase in cotton has
been enormous. The bank clearings
show gain exaggerated because of the
presidential election last year and its in
terruption Of business, but the increase
at New York was 80 per cent for last
week; at Boston, Philadelphia and Chi
cago. II per cent, and at all other cities
IS per cent The capacity Of iron fur
naces in blast Nov. 1 was much the
Greatest Ever Recorded,
no less than 1861 tons weekly, against
151, ,O59 Oct. 1, gain of nearly 10 per
cent. for the month, and against 141 ,064
Nov. 1, 1888, a gain of 17.5 per cent. for
the year. 1t appears, too, that several
other furnaces Of large capacity are
about to begin work. The weekly
production is now greater than
that Of Great Britain. and close
to the greatest ever recorded
in that country, being at the rate of
about $780, ,00O tons yearly, after allow
ance for difference between capacity and
actual output. Yet no excess of produc-
ton has been perceived, and prices are
firm at the recent advance.
Speculation in Products
has been more active, with some advance
in prices. Foreign reports helped rise
OF cents in wheat, but it came out on
Thursday that heavy operators who
were buying at Chicago were selling
here, and the sales at New York that
day were over 10,0oo,O0o bushels. Corn
is but quarter stronger, pork un-
changed, with slight advance in lard,
petroleum only a shade higher and oats
1 cent higher Coffee has advanced
again 5-9 Of a cent.
The treasury has again avoided accum-
ulations Of money, having paid out dur
ing the week $3.50, GOO more than it has
taken in. If the national hopefulness
does not engender decisive production in
some branches, and mischievous re-
yvival of speculation, the prospect for
healthy business is excellent.
Business Failures.
The business failures during the week
number for the United States 2B5, and
for Canada 80, OF total of 265, as COM
pared with total of of 267 last week
and 26l the week previous to the last.
For the corresponding week of last year
the figures We're 2S7, representing 205
failures in the United States and 80 in
Canada.
