CH1CAGo's BIG sToCKYARDs
Britons Offer to Buy Them at
Fancy Figure.

Boston. June 5.-President Nathaniel
Thayer, of the Union Stockyards and
Transit Company of Chicago has pre-
pared circular to stockholders, urging
their acceptance of the offer of the
City Of London Contract company for
the purchase of their stock. 1t states
that the purchase price is $3.50 per share,
payable 500 in cash and $50 in per
cent twenty-five year gold bonds, the
issue of said bonds not to exceed S10,-
100000. By the agreement which ac-
companies the circular, the bonds are
to be secured either by mortgage to the
Central Trust company, of New York,
or by deposit with it under a deed
of trust of at least 80 per cent
of all the capital stock. The agree
ment is not to be binding unless 80 per
cent. of the capital stock assents on or
before July 1, 1890. nor unless the pur-
chaser deposits 1925 per share as secur-
ity for the first installment. Some
sixty per cent. of the stock has already
assented to the trade and it is expected
to go through. The company is earn
ing about seven per cent. on $3.50 per
share. Messrs. Nathaniel Thayer and
Richard Olney are given full powers to
carry out the trade.

DAKOTA IRRIGATIoN.

The persistent and soaking rains that
have come to the wheat growers in the
Dakotas Of late, have greatly modified
concern as to the operations looking to
irrigation from artesian wells. The I'M
preston that the apparently growing
ariditY of the past few years was to
keep on till disaster ensued is giving
place to the theory that nature was en-
barraSSed by the excessive draughts
upon her resources i'll the remarkable
development of the country, and re-
quireS little time to adjust things to
the new conditions or the cycles of
aridity that come to all countries in
more or less extensive eras, had recent
service. 1t is much easier now to be-
lieve that the theory of the streams
drying up and surface water be-
coming scanty is to be submerged
in returning waters. 1t may be
conceded that most Of the Dakota
regions east of the Missouri will prove
to be about as reliable in the aqueous
essential of crop growing as most por-
tions of the neighboring states, but
there are few agricultural regions any
where that could not at times be greatly
benefited by the US e of water supplies
available at will. If the lands are uni
formIy productive, they can be made
vastly more so by the use of water at
special periods. Irrigation by artesian
wells is no new or modern scheme. 1t
is in use in India, China, Persia and
Central Asia. More than 100,000,000
people in those regions are mainly de-
pendent upon this agency in their pro-
ductions. With such abundance of
underground streams as are easily util-
lied over vast areas in the Dakotas, it
would be a reflection upon their pur.
poses not to allow them to Subserve
beneficent mission.

Property in Spokane Falls.

Exchange.
A friend of mine was telling about
how he lost trade in Spokane Falls.
He had the refusal for week of a
twenty-four-foot business lot ''at $500"
He thought and worried and prayed
over it and wrote home about it, and
finally decided to take it. On the last
day of grace he counted up his money,
and finding that he had just the amount
he went over to the agents office with
it to close the trade.
"Have you the currency with you to
make the trade all caSh?' asked the
agent.
"Yes, sir, l have the whole $500 in
currency" said my friend, drawing
himself up to his full height and put
ting his cigar back little farther i'll
his cheek.
"Five hundred dollarsr' exclaimed
the agent with a low, gurgling laugh;
''the lot is $500 per front foot. L didn't
suppose you was fan-American ass
enough to think you could get bust
ness lot in Spokane for $500. You can't
get load of sand for your children to
play in at that rate"

AN oPPoRTUNIrY MISSED.

In the view of the QUAY-CLARKsoN
committee most of the leading Republi-
can papers blundered in looking down
to Richmond the other day without the
eXhilarated vision of quarter of a cen
tury ago, or little more, when there were
no national flags in sight. The decor
alton of a monument to the general
who led the Confederates was chance
for the spellbinders to fire the heart,
and put out of the way the tariff bur-
den in the campaign. The men who
followed LEE in some cases put on their
old war clothes, and brought out some
OF the faded bunting that served them
in the field. Those old flags are as in
nocent of public peril now as the Con-
federate or continental currency are of
purchasing power. These Republican

HOW 1T Is SOLVED.

There is no special end to be gained
in watching the elimination of Demo-
Gratis from the South from congress. 1t
was understood that the number would
be determined by the apparent needs of
the party in control, OF perhaps the COM
plexion Of the applicant. The last one
voted out, day or two ago, was TUR-
PIN, of the Fourth Alabama district. 1t
was one of the most difficult cases to
work out upon any theories that re-
garded votes as necessary to an cleo
ton. The Democrat had in the election
1S,77S votes and the Republican 5,625,
showing a majority of Is, 15S for the
Democrat. To some this would seem to
involve very grave difficulty. The
solution is easy. If it is found that in
the census of 1880 there was majority
of colored population in the district,
that is conclusive. The Tenth, or Mem
phis district, is less difficult, as the
Democrat had but S.419 mojority. 1t is
only necessary to assume that the col
ored voters still have the majority and
all are Republicans.

THE ILLINOIS CONTEST.

The Illinois Democratic state conven-
ton Wednesday gave every indication
of confidence in their success in the
election this year. The state ticket is
unimportant, only minor offices 10 be
filled. The enthusing and significant
feature of the occasion was the display
of popular furor over the Endorsement
of Gen. PALMER for the senate. This
recalled the old-time unanimity and
earnestness of the days when the par
ties in that state rallied about leaders
like DOUGLAS, LINCOLN and YATES.
The people are evidently in the mood
there now to follow bold and saga
cious leadership, and this the selection
of PALMER, in the spirit manifested,
meets. 1t is expected that he will re-
peat the. great canvass of the state he
made two years ago under the banner
of tariff reform, and his success is
hardly doubted.

THE RIFF BATTLE.
Minnesota Democrats Must Fight
for Reform.

for reform.
To the Editor of the Globe.
When the political parties cast aside
all of the dead issues by which they
are surrounded and come down to the
living questions of the day it is seen
that the difference between them is the
difference between high protective
tariff and low tariff for revenue and
incidental protection. In other words,
the Republican party strongly favorS
high tariff, while the Democratic. party
faVors, not free trade, but a low tariff
sufficient to raise enough revenue to
defray governmental expenses, which
aggregate between three hundred and
four hundred millions of dollars an
Dually.
This enormous amount must be raised
by levying duties upon foreign pro-
ducts, and it is clearly seen that it can
be so adjusted as to furnish ample pro-
lection for our home industries. Let
the farmers of this state bear in mind
that the manufacturing interests of this
country employ about S,500,0O0 opera
tives, while 33,000,0Q0 of our people are
engaged in agricultural and pastoral
pursuits. That is, the farmers out
number the manufacturers about four
to one, and yet the output of the latter.
in dollars and cents, exceeds that of the
former five to one.
Notwithstanding this great profit the
protective leech is never full, but cries
for more blood from the veins of the
hard working, overtaXed tiIlers of the
soil. If these facts are fully set forth
before the intelligent farmers of Min
nesota they will see that they have the
remedy in their own hands, and they
will apply it IL our election next fall.
| do hope that when the convention
meets 1t will not waste its time in "af
firming the time-honored principles of
the Democratic party" but proceed at
once to wrestle with the only living
question before the American people to-
day. Let the people understand that
the success of the Republican party
means heavier duties and more burden
some taxation, while the success of the
Democratic party means low tariff,
less taxes and consequently greater
prosperity among the masses of the
people.
Let every voter who favors reduc-
ton in the tariff arise to the Importance
of the occasion, and forgetting the
things which are behind and reaching
forth unto those things that are before,
let them go forward Loyalty supporting
the men placed in nomination. and this
state can be carried this fall and will be
in line for the great campaign OF 1892.
To do this requires the cheerful CO.
operation of all low tariff men. and har
mony must prevail in our own ranks.
If we enter the campaign this fall with
internal dissensionS our banner will
again be trailed in the dust as it has
been on so many occasions heretofore.

BURNED BY FLYING OIL.
Thirteen Men Injured and a Tank
Steamer Ruined.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 5.-About
4 O'Clock this afternoon an explosion
occurred in the tank steamer Hans and
Kurt, lying at the Atlantic Oil Refining
company'S dock at Point Breeze. The
vessel was ruined and 100000 gallons of
oil, together with considerable wharf
property, including brick storage
building, were destroyed by the fire
which resulted from the explosion.
There had been no fire aboard the YES
sci, and no cause for the explosion
is known unless it be spontaneous COM
bustion. Joseph H. Quinn, aged thirty
six, shipping clerk, was covered with
jured that he died soon afterward. Har-
ris Schonhaltz, aged thirty-seven. a hose
man of Engine No. 4, was overcome by
heat and the inhalation of smoke, and
is believed to be dying. John Karl
Wuent. aged forty-two, the steamers
carpenter, was badly burned and had his
arm dislocated. His condition is seri-
Gus. Henry Campen, aged forty, was
badly burned. He is in a serious
condition. John Estoney, William Quinn
and Henry Spoud, employed about
the works, were more or less seriously
burned by the flying oil: Robert Poe
teet, cook of the steamer, had both feet
burned; Samuel Lynn, engineer of No.
] company, was scalded about the body;
James Devine. engineer of No. II COM

scalded about the legs; an unknown
man, burned by oil, making in all thir-

died. One other is dying, and the in
juries of Campen an dStoney may prove
fatal. All of those seriously injured in
hailed smoke and the fumes of burning
oil. as did some of the less seriously in
jured men. The burning steamer was
towed away from the wharf and down
the river as soon as possible and run
aground. Tugs continued to pour
water into her Tor several hours. She
is warped out of shape and will have to
be rebuilt. The damage is about $780,

NATIONAL POLITICS.

The Representative Republican.

q. The Republican party's hostility to
the people and TO their rights and in
terests; its willingness to trample down
all the safeguards of popular govern
ment to satisfy its lust of power and
office. and its utter seryility to the great
trade monopolies whose corrupted and
corrupting creature it has become, are
all ably incarnated in the ample person
OF the rotund and reckless Reed. His
nomination would make Republican
platform at once superfiuous and use
less. The issue and the candidate
would be one and indivisible. And,
that being the case, the Democratic
party cannot do better than give the
Reed presidential movement every pos
Sibe encouragement.

THEIR OBJECTIONS.

The farmers movements are very
strong in the Southern states, particu-
larly the cotton regions, where vicious
system of allowing a few men at the
county seat to swallow the profits and
keep the producers in debt to them has
long been in vogue. The immediate
purposes sought differ in method very
much from those in the North. The
scheme for government Storehouses
over the country has support with them
more than the farmers Of any other sec
ton. The alliance men in the South
are nearly all Democrats, and,a rule.
seek to enforce their views through that
organization by controlling the prima-
ries and conventions. Were their mem
bers looking chiefly to their own polit-
ical interests they would seem to be ia
vorable to these aims of the local organ
iZations. Instead of this, it is noted that
several of the leading Democrats from
the South have made strong speeches in
opposition to the project, regardless of
the effect upon their personal fortunes.
1t is understood that the ways and
means committee of the house have
agreed to an unanimous report adverse
to the bill. Not considering what
merits the measure may have, these
members deserve credit for their indie
pendence and courage in following their
convictions. Among those who have
discussed the subject most pointedly
are Mr.. MILLS, of Texas; Mr.. CRISP, of
Georgia, and Mr.. CARLISLE, now Sena-
tor. Some of the points they make
are worth noting. The limitations
of the bill they urge would con-
fine its operation to less than
a thousand of the nearly three
thousand counties in the country. Not
more than third of the counties pro-
duce and sell a half million dollars
worth of agricultural products, conse-
quently the two-thirds would not be
benefited, although they would help
meet the cost Of the warehouses. In
this view those most in need would, as
a rule, be taxed for the advantage of
the more fortunate. That is the way
Senator CARLISLE looks at it. He also
believes that it will offer to Spectulators
chances to take advantage of the farm
erS, and still more of the needs of the
consumers, by controlling the prices of
food. The government is to issue GER
tlfcates for so per cent of the value of
the goods deposited. The farmers would
be eunable, in the greater number oficases,
to redeem their products, spectators
would gather in the certificates at
merely nominal figure, obtain posses
sion of the provisions deposited, and do
a big speculative business. The oppor-
tunities it presents in the annual ex-
panson and contraction of the currency
seem to Mr.. CARLISLE most objection
able. He says: mo such facilities as
this project will afford for controlling
the markets for purely speculative pur-
poses have ever existed in this or any
other country, and no more perfect
system for the oppression of the poor
could be devised"
1t involves such radical innovations
upon settled methods of traffic that it
would receive no considerable attention
did it not have the countenance of many
intelligent people, generally impelled
by the prevalent feeling of unrest to
turn to any promising eXpedients.
