MINNEAPOLIS.
THE AMERICAN FOURTH

When the sun rises this morning he
will probably feel a little laugh after
spending the Fourth of July in COM
pany with the inconStant moon drink
ing milky-way punches and nobulous
cocktails. There was no celebration in
Minneapolis of the anniversary of
American independence. These indie
pendence celebrations, anyhow, are
generally gotten up from political mo-
tives to boom officebolders and make
nationalities stand together at the polls.
Whoever heard of a man getting
political Office or an APP
pointment in Minnesota because
he is an American? What is the use,
then. of celebrating the American indie
pendence day by having public parades,
with prominent citizens in carriages
and on foot? Of speech making and ad
dresses by gentlemen who have gained
the distinction of being called "honOra-
BILE" because they have helped to
thwart the wishes of the people in the
legislature or in the halls of congress?
And so let the Fourth of July be OBJ
served as sort of midsummer thanks
giving day, when families hold re-
unions, when employees have day to
themselves and the juveniles are al
lowed to play with gunpowder. 1t is
well enough to remember. in cOnnec-
ton, perhaps, that we are great peo-
pie, and that we have much to be thank
full for, but more than that should not
be expected of US, especially i'll al off
year of politics.

FLOUR IS FIRM.

Most of the Wheat Now Ground
Coming From Local Elevators.
The Northwestern Miller, in its issue
of today, will say:
The mills ran little stronger last
week, and added somewhat to their
product. The average output was 49,
600 barreIs-averaging 19,l67 barrels
against 109,S0O barrels the previous
week, and $4,000 barrels for the CORE
spending time in 1883. Two less mills
are running to-day than week ago, but
those in the operative list are being
called on for all they can make, and the
output approximates $4,000 barrels daily.
The water in the canals is falling, yes
terday going down five feet, and some
of the mills have begun to feel the eff
feet of the decline. The wheat being
ground at present. 475,OOO to
100000 bushels per week, is
mostly coming from local elevators.
Prices of flour have been adj
vanced several times during the week,
to keep somewhere within range of
wheat, and while irregular, are Csc to
soc higher than week ago. JObberS
hold light stocks of -four, and are buy
ing fairly well for prompt shipment, but
the movement is checked a good deal by
the frequent raising of quotations. The
available wheat is pretty much in the
hands of few strong holders, and MILL
erS as a rule feel firm as to values OF
-four.

Is brim ehock full of three-piv joy;
The man who sold them to the kid
Is rather happier than the boy.
The only one who's sad tonight
And wishes he were dead,
Is the patriotic orator,
Thinking over what he said.
Duke evidently thought he was play

There may be hidden significance in
the fact that the Tribune's representa-
tive was badly distanced by two weekly
paper men in foot race at the labor
picnic yesterday.
Ii the presence of three Englishmen
at the West hotel gives rise to the rumor
that the mills are to be bought, what
would be the result with six French
men and couple of dozen Germans at
one of our popular appetite quellers.
This is the 9Th of July. Thanks.
Bob Kalkhoff went to the ball game
yesterday afternoon, but he will go to
the races on the next Fourth of July.
If John l.. Sullivan had been at the
races yesterday, he could have found
two or three individuals to accommo-
date him.

as well. Rev. l.. G. Powers,
well known in Minneapolis as
an ardent sympathizer with laboring
men. was the first speaker of the after
noon. His subject was the "History of
Reduction of Hours" On the past he
founded his prophecy for the future,
making strong argument in favor of
the eight-hour system, and showing that
eight hours a dav for labor would come
in the natural course Of events. He
opened by saying:
Cato, the censor, nearly 2.100 years
ago, gave his ideal of the management
of labor. For him true economy in the
use of labor was to be found in the
slaves. The capitalist should own the
toiler. The slave should not have one
minute of leisure. "He must work or
Sleep" 1.-THE pillow might rest in obedi-
ence to old religious precepts. The
slave on holidays must work" if the
slave was not working or sleeping he
would be planning or doing something
evil. Nineteen centuries from Cato sees
the practical consummation of great
social revolution. Slavery, such as Cato
commended, had, for the white races of
Europe and America, come to practi-
cal end. Labor was free to sell itself to
whomsoever it would for hire. And yet
the world of capital still chung to some
of Cato's old maxims. Laborers still
either slept or worked. The hours
of toll were fourteen and six
teen, and at their close men
slept until called to take up the burden
in the morning. Another century
passes and we see the beginning of a
second great social revolution in signif-
canoe inferior only to the revolution
that ended slavery. The hours of labor
began 70 decrease. A century of de-
crease has been witnessed. The hours
of labor have diminished from the old
rule of fourteen and sixteen, and we

TREED A BIG PANTHER.
A Hunting Event in Oregon Con-
Quoted Under Difficulties.

G. I'll. Delany. a young farmer living
three miles northwest of Middleton,
had an exciting time with large PAN
ther the other night. but finally sue
ceeded in dispatcning it, says the Port
land Oregonian.
About II 80 O'Clock in the evening he
heard loud commotion in his back
yard, and going out he saw large pan-
ther trying to make square meal out
of one of his choicest hogs.
He very wisely did not press any too
close to observe whether the panther
had Gr8cO-Roman or catch-aS-catch-
can hold, although it undoubtedly had
the latter, preferring to let his two
small dogs do the soaring if any was to
be done.
When the dogs got out and began to
bark (alS0 at safe diStance), the panther
took to flight, and seemed to disappear
in a small patch of timber.
Mr.. Delany called the dogs back. and
was about to re-enter the house, when
he heard the panther on the other side
of the building. raising great conster-
nation among the chickens.
The dogs again started in pursuit and

cured lantern and was peeping into
the tree when he saw two fiery eyes
glaring at him from lower limb.
The panther was evidently just ready
to spring upon him. but his wife quickly
pulled him aside. 1t then jumped from
the tree, and after running short dis
lance again, took to tree.
This was repeated several times, the
dogs each time being so close to the
animal that it was compelled to seek
refuge in tree.
When the panther was freed for the
last time Mr.. Delany built a roaring fire
under the tree, and, leaving his wife in
charge, went after gun. Such fire
arm was not so easily procured, and
over mile and a half was walked be-
fore one was found.
Returning to his home, he re-
plenished the fire and proceeded to
mould bullets with which to dispatch
the formidable carnivora. The panther
all the time kept watching the process
of making the leaden balls that soon
were to be buried under its skin.
Six balls were put into the gun. and
when the charge was fired, something
came down with a reSOunding thud.
The panther ran about twenty yards
and then yielded up the ghost. 1t was
found that the entire charge had en-
tered the breast of the animal.
Being afterWard measured, it was
found to be six feet two and a half
inches in length, and fully three feet
high. 1t must have weighed at least
800 pounds.

Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER,, MIMI, July 4,-Not-
withstanding that it was the Four tn of
July the asylum commission has been in
session all day. The development of
the investigation in this city up to to-
night have been more favorable than
even the most sanguine friends of
Bowers expected. Louis Cole was the
first witness called. He said patients
were never put under restraint without
orders from doctors, and he never knew
OF any unnecessary force being INDUCED
in by attendants. Ben Vail and Frank
Witty. attendants, testified that they
were discharged from the hospital in
1883 for striking patients. They claimed
that the striking was in Self-defenSe,
but were fired for not reporting it to
the doctors. They spoke we'll of the
asylum management, and denied tine
charges made by Vandiver. Miss Eva
Downing, of st. Paul, sister of Lizzie
Downing, was called, and said that she
had no fault to find with the treatment
of her sister in the asylum. She stated
that her mother, who made the charges
at st. Paul. is in poor health
and not always responsible for
what she says. Her sister was home
for a few months last summer and
would if left to heaself remain ON her
knees praying until she fell to the
floor exhausted, and they were COM
PEELED to return her to the asylum.
Considerable damaging testimony was
put in this afternoon, but the pre-
ponderance of all evidence taken was in
favor of the management. DR.. Kelly,
whose testimony has been awaited with
great interest, was put ON the stand
this afternoon. 1t was very evident
that he had "bitten off more than he
could chew" for he flattened out badly

Indigestion

rs not only distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."
