IT is to be hoped before the Mitchell
gang of sluggers from England get
through their tour of this country some
small city will have courage to send them
all for months term in the work
house. The following from Cleveland,
Ohio, shows that there is something OF
the kind needed:
Charlie Mitchell, the pugilIst, was as
saulted by Hugh Burns, local gambler
and tough, in the Kennard House bar
room at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. The quarrel was personal, arising
from derogatory statements made TO
Burns relatives in England by Mitchell
The pugilist was hit once or twice and
retreated through an aquarium full OF
water in the bar room. Finally he
turned on Burns and hit him terrible
blow, disfiguring his face and knocking
him down. Mitchell then ran up stairs.
A number of local sports and pugllists
were present and row ensued, which
was quoted by the calling OF a patrol
wagon. The Mitchell party was hooted
and egged by Sullivan sympathizers
while giving their exhibition in the
evening,

HARPER's Weekly is getting down pref
ty low when it publishes on its editorial
columns three column letter from a
man named "Williams," who holds that
there is Southern situation" whichis
that the negroes are not allowed to vote
In the Southern States and never will be
allowed to if thew persist in voting the
Republican ticket or any other that
promises them any ruling power. This
civilians" says:
"The whites, owners of the soil and
property, descendants OF generations OF
freedom and civilization, again rule, and
the negroes, newly freed slaves, repre-
senting only muscular labor, and de-
scendants of generations OF barbarism
and slavery, are again ruled"
The gentleman does not go into de-
tails far enough to say that it was by the
means of shot gun policy, ballot box
stuffing and violation of the rights OF
their fellow-citizens that the whites,
owners of the soil, descendants of free
dom,"(D at last triumphed over the ig-
nomlnious negro. But now that they
have them under control again they do
not propose, intimates civilians" to
let the tariff issue or any other distract
their attention from the main business
of keeping the negro where he belongs
under the foot and below the notice OF
Southern gentlemen. Mr.. Williams
had better go and get little informa-
ton and patriotism. His talk sounds a
trifie ancient. The men who want to
keep the negro a serf must shut up the
schools. The colored men of the South
have learned that they have a right tc
life and liberty, and they have now
courage to maintain them. The advance
of intelligence and equal rights is South
ward and the Williamses with their bru
ltal preiudices must clear:the track. The
negro has conquered his rights in the
| Northern tier of Southern states, ant
will conquer it in the Gulf states within
Twenty years. Meanwhile there neet
be no fear of instructions" or a gen
eral war of races. But through mucl
suffering and blood the negro will come

tizen.

AN enthusiastic Minneapolis man,

AN enthusiastic Minneapolis man,
Hon Tim Byrnes is quoted as follows:
"That man." said Mr.. Byrnes, referr-
ing to Sabin, sis better friend TO me
than is Washburn. He would doubtless
do more for me any day. But i favor
Washburn's election because he is fitted
for the place, and further. because he is
the candidate now recognized by Mime
apolis and has the unqualified support
of Minneapolis Republicans.
AS Minneapolltan, our friend Byrnes
doubtless should stick by the candidate
so closely identified to Minneapolis. And
from just the same course of reasoning
the people outside the precincts of Min
neapoiis should support some other cam
didate-one who is able to spread him
self out oyer trifie more territory than
is confined by the city limits OF Mime
apolis.

THAT fruitful source of unreliable
statements, the Pioneer Press points
POLITICAL column, to-day, says on the
authority of one of Washburn's
friends" that recently 800 postal cards
were sent out to prominent men of the
blue Earth) county for senatorial pre-
ferences. About 700 answers were re-
ceived, and of these but about forty
were for Sabin, while the large majority
of the balance were for Washburn."
We were aware that these cards were
sent out from the Register Office, and
while on their face it was a fair enough
deal, the fact is that the manipulators
of the scheme sent men through the
county to influence the sentiments of
those to whom cards were sent, and
have them returned for Washburn, In
this we understand the enterprise
failed to bring large returns for large
number of the blank cards will be found
peacefully slumbering in the pockets of
the prominent men," No official re-
turns have been given out, and there
fore we are not disposed to take the
gossip of the Merchants hotel lobby as
very reliable.

Mr.. earle, of the Pioneer Press, is
still gossiping and specializing over the
subject of an extra session. If there
was anything new to tell on the subject
or anything old that was interesting,
there would be some reason for the re-
iteration, but the only excuse there APP
pears to be is that couple of columns
of space has to be filled every day.

MAJOR E. p. EVANS, of Garden City,
has interested himself in movement to
secure some reeompense from the state
for those who lost property and depen-
dent relations, or served in the militia
called out by the Indian raids into some
parts of this county during the years
1862 to 1865. None of these losses have
ever been paid, nor have any ofthe men
serving in the various organizations for
the protection of the frontier ever re-
ceived any pay. Though twenty-five
years have elapsed the major thinks the
state can afford TO do the square thing,
especially as it hasnow plenty of money.
He will be at the meeting of the Legis-
lature this winter to aid the cause. and
requests any who are Interested in the
same to make out sworn statement of
their connection, service or losses, and
send to him at Garden City, that the
matter may be pr -. n shape.

If there were any virtue IN claims the
Washburn men surely would win the
senatorial fight. At latest reports they
were claiming pretty much all the votes,
but a few allowed to Donnelly. They
will doubtless have those before elec-

won't have so many.

EVERY representatlve-elect from Blue
Earth county was pledged against him
before election, and it was the condition
upon which they were elected. A vote
now for Sabin from this county simply
means "boodle" and will bear no other
interpretation.-Repiea0.
Wise, in the above virtually charges
the epresentatives-elect with being
open to money influences, for not one of
them has announced himself anti-Sabin.
1t seems the game is TO try to whip the
members into following the dictates of
this Democratic falsifer. Therefore,
they are to be charged in advance of be-
ing bribed if they assert their independ-
ence by voting for Mr.. Sabin. There
can be no other explanation of this in
sulting reference to "boodle"-unless,
indeed, Wise is measuring the members
elect by his own standard of principle.
This sort of warfare certainly can only
aid the cause of Mr.. Sabin. While the
FREE PRESS fails to see where the repre-
sentatives can find reasons for joining
the Washburn movement, certainly If
any of them should vote for that gentle
man, we shall not accuse them of being
boodleized, but accept their votes as
their Interpretation of public sentiment
or the decision of their own good and
honest judgment. In this connection 1t
may be well to state that there is no
well-defined Washburn sentiment, while
it is fact that at least two out of three
Republican voters in the county would
support Senator Sabin for reelection in
preference to Mr.. Washburn. Whatev-
err little Washburn sentiment there ex-
lists in Blue Earth county has been built
up through the eagerness of few indI-
viduals in Mankato to "down Sabin,"
and number of very good and consci-
entious gentlemen have been unwilling
ly drawn into endorsing Washburn's
candidacy through lack of in
formation on their part, and
Misrepresentation on the part
of those who have been actively en-
gagged during the past week in canvass
ing the county in the interest of the
president of the 500 railroad. During
the past week three or four men have
been travelling the county over sol citing
endorsements for Mr.. Washburn, and
good deal of care has been exercised to
approach only those known to be un-
friendly to Mr.. Sabin, hence the result
of the ENJOYS sent out by the Demo-
cratic RecieU under the guise of the
sheriff-elect and editor of the Register, is
in no wise the sentiment of the Repub-
licans of the county, as those best IN
formed well know.

THE st. Paul Dispatch is the latest to
ring in the chestnut, "Blue Earth eoun-
ty Is for Sabin, and always has been."
Why, then, are men sent out all over the
county to work up sentiments for him
Why hasn't there been something more
tangible in the way of Washburn senti-
ment than the oft-repeated boast of some
"Drominent citiZen?'

THE Herman Enterprise, one of the
papers classed by the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, Mankato Register and others, to
swell up the Overwhelming Washburn
sentiment" has this to say this week
A great objection to Mr.. Washburn
for the position of United States sena-
tor is that he is largely interested in
railroads. The RESULTS that when leg
islation comes up affecting the interests
of railroad companies, Mr.. Washburn
will naturally work and vote In their
behalf. 1t is a fundamental principal
of our laws that no man shall be Q Judge
in his own cause, and applying. this to
the matter under consideration Mr..
Washburn ought not to be elected to
the senate of the United States.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1889-01-04

THIs from the Herman Enterprise is
the first echo from the alleged poll of
editorial preferences that we have seen.
1t will illustrate what is back of the
claims of the Washburn men:
The Minneapolis Tribune in its Christ
mas number, prints an alleged canvass
of the newspapers of the state on the
senatorial question from which it fig
ures out to its own apparent satisfaction
the election of Hon. w. d. Washburn.
The Enterprise is put in the Washburn
column. If there is a paper in the
state that has been and is more out
spokenly opposed to Mr.. Washburn's
election than the Enterprise, we have
yet to see 1t. The correctness of the
Iribane's result may be judged from this
circumstance.

MOVING SOUTH.

A day or two ago the statement
was made that one of the largest
cotton manufacturing companies OIL
New England was moving its plant
| to Texas. The reasons given for do
ing so were that cotton could be OBJ
tanned tor Sc bale less in the south
| than in New England, and that a
cotton factory could be operated
more cheaply in the south than in
north. tt Hs
Southern newspapers have fol
years been pointing out the adyan'
tages Of the south for the manufac.
ture Of cotton goods, and have pre-
dicted that before many years more
cotton would be consumed in south
ern than northern cotton mills. 1t
begins 20 look as if this prediction
would pc proved to be true sooner
than was expected. The number Of
cotton mills in the south is increas-
ing very rapidly. The building Of
a mill in any locality is certain TO be
followed by others. All the south
ern mills which are properly man
aged pay large dividends-larg
than the northern mills-and this
fac: is directing attention to cotton
manufacturing in the south.
Comparatively few people know
that vast amounts of southern pig
iron find market in Pennsylvania
In fact, they do not know anything
about the extent of the manufac
ture Of iron in the south. They will
be surprised, therefore, when the.
begin to hear of Pennsylvania irol
manufacturers moving their plant
| to Tennessee and Alabama Their,

now invested in iron mining ant

South, but the amount is small com
pared to what it will be within {
very few years. Eventually thu
south will manufacture the greater
part of the iron and cotton good
necessary to supply the demands o
this country. The iron and cottor
manufacturers of the north see this
and hence they are beginning tt
move their plants to the south.
