SENATOR VANCE has moved to place
needles on the free list on the ground
that the % per cent. duty is added to
the cost of that necessary instrument of
labor, and that the tax must be borne
by the underpaid and overworked sew
ing women of the country. And vet,
under the operation of this burdensome
''tax" the price has steadily declined
until they retail at five cents per pack
age of twenty-five needles, Under the
Pierce-Buchanan dispensation the price
was two or three times greater. This IL
Illustrates anew the need of studying
markets more than maxims.

IT is trife strange how the newspa-
per correspondents located at Washing
ton know so much about the visits which
the various statesmen make to Indianap-
oils. Each day we have from Washing
ton the news which would rightfully en-
enate from the Indiana capitol. For in
stance, here is the Minneapolis Tribune
Washington Office furnishing Information
regarding important matters. Itsays:
Senator Frank Hiscock, of New York,
left this afternoon for indianapolis to
visit President-elect Harrison and con-
suit with him about the policy and the
cabinet of the next administration. Gen.
Harrison invited Mr.. Hiscock to visit
him, and he has been expected at In
dianapolis for some time. Gen. HarrI-
son has made careful inquiry of the 9th
er Republican senators who have visited
him about the status of the fight for ia
vor supposed to be waging between Re-
publican leaders in New York State, and
it is surmised that he wishes to see Sen
ator Hiscock in the hope of restoring
harmony. Republican senators do not
think that Mr.. Hiscock wants or would
accept place in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Harrison, but think he is working
n the interest of Tom Platt.

The Lake Crystal Farmers Ware
house.

Lake Crystal Union: The Farmers
Warehouse IN this place is experiencing
some difficulty with an unpaid draft of
$500, issued in favor of the First Nation
al bank, Mankato, on McCord Il Co.,
Minneapolis. This firm would not hon
or the draft, but allowed it To 90 to pro-
test. The warehouse is doing business
with the above Minneapolis firm, and u
short time ago shipped to them seven
car loads of grain. This they sold To II
third party, and before the returns
reached McCord 4 CO., the draft was
presented, but was not honored. This
action compelled the First National bank
to secure itself by making legal claim on
the warehouse and contents. Mr.. Nc
Cord was here on Monday, and said he
would return "Wednesday and take up
the bank claim. The books of the ware
house have been examined, and We be-
lieve everything is all right, and had it
not been for the constant decline in the
price Of grain since the opening of the
market, the warehouse could have met
Its obligations without the slightest
trouble. Nearly all the stockholders in
the warehouse are well-to-dO farmers,
and are able TO continue the business so
long as the concern does not lose mon
ey, but at the time when wheat was
away up they bought quite heavily, and
soon after the price went down, conse-
quently they lost in the decline. 1t is
hoped all will be arranged, and the
warehouse opened in Il few days.

IRIS SETTLED.
Ring s. robin Accept $1,000 in
Settlement of the Court House
Contract.


While the county commissioners were
in session Tuesday Mr.. Tobin, of Min
neapolis, one ofthe court house contract
ors, appeared before the board and
stated that his firm had reconsidered
the county's offer of settlement and had
decided to come down in Its demand.
He offered to take 5000 in full settle
ment, which was 800 more than the
county's offer, but 81 800 less than his
previous one. This the commissioners
refused to do, when Mr.. Tobin finally
accepted the county's figures Of $1,000.
The board agreed 10 the settlement and
Mr.. Tobin signed receipt which was
satisfactory to the county attorney. This
settles this vexed question, which has
more than once threated to involve the
county in costly litigation. The contract
ors have no more claim on the county.
The board of commissioners will proceed
with the completion of the building,
which il is hoped will be accomplished
by next fall. The settlement gives gen.
eral satisfaction, and everyone seems to
be happy over it.
