Suspended For Extreme Sanctification

LINCOLN, Neb., March 23-The trial oi
Pastor Mirehart of Grace NJ. E. Church
has been concluded, the committee decid-
ing that he should be suspended from the
ministry for one year. He asked to speak
when the verdict was given in, but the
presiding minister objected. There was a
large crowd present and they shouted for
Mirehart until the elder was obliged te
give way and allow him to speak. He was
greeted with an ovation and was the re-
cipient of cheers and beautiful cut flowers
in the shape of cross and crowns, etc. The
charge was Conduct such as was unbe-
coming a minister" There is no moral
scandal connected with the matter, but
Mirehart is probably an extremist on
sanctifcation and prohibition.

How to save Money

Not by bnying soap-though soap" is
good thing TO carry elections Not by
investing in infallible cures for consump-
ton, or champion catarrh remedies
they are like the Yankee peddler's raz-
ors, "made 10 SELL" The way to save
money is by the ability to know a good
thing when you see it. and take advau-
tage of it. You can save money at all
times by taking "the Burlington for
Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha,
Denver and all prominent points in the
West and Northwest. The speed of its
trains and the certainty ofits connections
will save time, and time is money. The
comfort and luxury Gifts equipment will
save worry, and the courteous manners
of its employees will save your temper.

ton respecting this line, call on any of
the local agents, or write to w. j. C.

THE MAYoRALTY QUESTION.

The promised convention of laboring
men was held last night and Mr.. H. p.
Jensen is crowned with the honor of
being selected as their candidate for
Mayor.
No one viii deny the right of the lab
oring men of the city to put ticket in
the field, and in the choice made for
their standard bearer they are to be
congratulated. Mr.. Jensen is a lahoring
man in every sense of the word, and by
industry, push and good business pru-
dence has built up an enviable business
interest in Mankato which has added
materially to manufacturing advance
ment of the city. Not only IS this true,
but it is equally fact that he is one of
the most public spirited gentlemen We
have and his time and well known
energies have always been at the dis
posal of the public whenever demand
ed. Knowing the needs of the city, and
being fully acquainted with the RESPONSE
bilities resting upon the man who shall
occupy the mayors chair, it goes with
out saying that, if elected, he will make
an admirable business executive. The
FREE Press has made no suggestions as
to the selection of any of the candidates
for office, and like all well wishers for
our city's future is only interested in
seeing the best and most available men
named. If, as seems most reasonable,
the Republican convention shall indorse
Mr.. Jensen's selection, he will be elect
ed beyond peradventure. There GER
tainly, can be no well-founded grounds
for opposing him. He has been life
long Republican, is as strong in his polit'
ical opinions to-day as ever, and the fact
that he has been named by mass con-
vention of honorable gentlemen repre-
senting the bone and sinew of the com
munity, without regard to party politics
should be in favor of an endorsement by
the Republicans rather than otherwise
1t is to be hoped that this matter may
receive the most careful consideration a
the hands of Republicans and that good
business prudence may guide them il
determining their choice for Mayor al
well as the remainder of the ticket TO bt
voted upon at the approaching election

THE appointment of a superintendent
of census for the enumeration of 1890, is
a duty devolving on President Harrison
which must soon be performed. Be-
sides superintendent there will be en-
ployed in the compilation of this enorm-
GUS work ten chiefs of division, dis
bursting clerk, two stenographers and l75
supervisors. A great army of enr:nerat-
ors will be employed, who will be paid
the same as in 1880, except for special
work. J.Ie compensation for each farm
will be Is cents and each productive in
dustry 20 cents, an increase Of five cents
each over 1880, when many enumerat-
ors resigned because the pay was too
small. 1t is thought there will be about
5000, 600 farms and 3 1000, 900 manufactur-
ing establishments, SO that something of
the probable cost of the census may be
urrived at from these items. The total
cost is limited to $4,000 600, but if the
work is dragged out as it was in 1880, it
will reach near Sl0,0OO,000. There are
numerous new features of statistic de-
manded by the bill providing for this
census, which will make good deal of
extra work, but the cost will be lessened
by the experience of 1880 and the more
oerfect organization for the work that is
now possible.

THE fight in the senate yesterday ON
the extension of the Duluth and Winni-
peg land grant was one of the most hotly
contested measures ever before the Min
nesolG solons. The good majority gwen
the extensiCD in the house a few days

the upper branch to i, x hopefully for a
like result when they Should arrive at
the final moment. From eleven o'clock
Yesterday morning until after supper
time eloquence and arguments pro and
con reigned supreme. The vote shows
how effectually the opponents had put
in their time, as they carried the propo-
sition for indefinite postponement by 20

freely INDUCED in by friends of the bill,
and an investigation may follow. 1t
does not seem that the Duluth and Win
nipeg folks have been used with that de-
gree of liberality which has character
lied previous action of our legislature

THERE is to be salt trust, if the pro-
iector's don't have to make other ar
rangements. 1t appears that +. B.
Thurber and Erastus Wiman, two big
New York grocers, are chief promoters
in this country of the project. Associa-
ted with them are a number of promi-
nent English capitalists controlling $685.
100000. Abortive efforts have frequent
ly been made to consolidate all the salt
interests in this country, but until now
nothing practical has been accomplished
in the matter. The obstacle in the way
was a Michigan organization which
was established for a similar purpose.
c. F. Burger, who is the agent of Mr..
Thurber and his associates, and by no
mea ms the representative of the East
ern manufacturers as he is said to be,
is at present in Michigan and with his
agents has succeeded in securing
enough options upon the salt interests
there to make it safe for the trust to
take the preliminary steps of organiza-
ton. Only week ago an influential
English banker came here to perfect his
arrangements with the capitalists who
are interested in the plan. 1t is the in
tention to introduce the use of the most
improved methods of making, and in
this way they claim they can materially
reduce the price of salt. A gentleman
who is prominently interested in this

which will unreasonably enhance pric-
es to consumers, but it is proposed to
bring the best brains in the salt business

MASS MEETING OF STRIKERS.

There is great variance in the statements
of the parties. The operators claim that the
weavers average $40 to sl2 per week, while
the spinners range from 81 to S13, but the
workers figure the average at little below
So 1t appears from the statements of both
sides that this is one of the few employments in
which women earn as much as men, The en-
ployes invite attention to the fact that cotton
is a cents lower than in 1884, and cloth lilo
cent higher per yard, SO that the total profits
of all the mills is about $4,000 per week.
The operators retort that both the prices quot.
ed are temporary, and that there is even now
q general distrust in the market. Patrick j.
Connolly, secretary of the Fall River Weav
ers' Protective association, presents very
plausible set of figures, and is confident the
mills must give in. The conduct of the
strikers is admirable, and except for the still
ness visitor would not know a strike was in
progress involving the work and wages o.
near 10000 people.

President had to display considerable
backbone to refuse to appoint Whitelaw
Reid to the English mission, as it is
claimed he wanted the place, and was
backed by Blaine. 1t seems likely, how
ever, If Mr.. Reid's statements are to be
believed, that he WIS not an applicant

he should scramble for one in any event.
Mr.. Harrison has offered him frst-class

TEN THOUSAND OUT.


Great Strike of Weavers ia the Cotton
Mills of Fall River.
Fall River, Mass, is the greatest cotton
manufacturing center in the United States,
and the fact that 5000 weavers there have
struck for an advance in wages is moment
Gus. One by one the other classes of work
ers, spinners, pickers, ropers, etc, have had
to quit; and at the present nearly 10000 men,
women and youths are idle 1t is question
of wages and dates back to 1884, when a gen.
eral reduction of 20 per cent. was made in all
the mills The spinners in ten mills struck
then, but yielded in few days Early in
1887 an advance of 10 per cent. was made,
and the companies now claim TINT by i'm
proved machinery and appliances the en-
ployes now earn a little more than they did
before the reduction of 1884
