CORNER IN BARBED WIRE.
Manufacturers Form a Gigantic
Trust.

Trust.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-The Herald says
that although nothing has been made
public concerning it, a meeting Of
the barbed wire manufacturers is
said to have been in ses-
sion in this city for several
days, and one of the most gigantic
trusts ever organized IN this country is
about to be formed, If, indeed, its or
ganizatiOn is not already complete.
Eleven of the fOrty-twO mills en-
gagged in barking wire, the Herald says,
have entered into combine and have
agreed to sell no wire. or wire goods to
the thirty-one mills not admitted, and
Washburn, OF the WaShburn IL Moen
company, of Worcester, Mass. who
own all the barbed wire patents that
are of any practical value, has pledged
himself not to issue to any one OUT
side of the combine any license for the
use of his patents. For this pledge the
trust has agreed to bear all the expense
of defending Washburn's patents
in any suits that may be brought
TO contest his right to them. The
business of the trust has been di-
vided so as to secure the greatest posi-
BILE production. There are in the
United States but five mills that manu-
facture the rods from which all kinds of
wire are drawn. With these five mills
Washburn has gone into combination,
and has taken into the pool besides
all the pullerS and drawers of
wire and wire-nail manufacturers. Until
other bar mills are built, and it requires
a vast amount of capital and consider
able time to complete one, the mills out
tinue business. The Herald states that
its informStion comes from one of the
oldest wire manufacturers who was not
let into the combination.

THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.

One of the independent publications
complies the electoral vote as the dispo-
SitiOn of the states now seems. and
reaches the conclusion that the chances
of the Democrats for electing the presi-
dent in 1892 have been materially re-
duced by the addition of the four new
states. 1t comedies Montana and New
York to the Democrats. and otherwise,
on the basis of the vote Of 1888, fOots up
207 votes for each party, but presumes
that the reappOrtiOnment will give the
Republicans advantage enough to make
up majority. This computation as
signs Indiana to the Republicans, which
is concession only allowable in purely
partisan calculations. 1t is naturally
Democratic state, and was only carried
by about 1000 last year, with all the
prestige of home candidate and the
lavish QUAY and DUDLEY methods.
The recent voting at the home of
the president indicates that he will not
be an element of strength should he be
the nominee again. Indiana may be
counted for the Democrats in the next
campaign quite as certainly as New
York and Connecticut, and perhaps
West Virginia. The Democrats may
win without capturing any pronounced
Republican state, but they are quite apt
to take in Illinois, and possibly one or
two other states. Any predictions as
to the result in the next campaign made
now must be based upon problematical
conditions. They may exist or may
not. The only present point of note is
that these new states, or the reappor-
tiOnment, will not materially affect the
chances of either pal ty. The events of
the two years may have good deal to
do in shaping issues for the campaign.

mense prairie fire many miles in extent

idly carrying the fire to Bismarck,
and tonight the city is enveloped
in smoke and flying cinders. Prepare
tons are made tonight for a night
watch around the outskirts of the town.
The residents apprehend great danger.
The people of Menokin have teIe-
graphed for aid, which will be sent i'm
