This is startling news that comes from

THIS is startling news that comes from
Minnesota. The republican clans in the
country are ready for revolt if a mid
summer state convention Is called. Yet
if the convention be deferred until the
fall, it is predicted that Governor Mer-
Ram will not be renominated, because
all the opposing forces will have full op-
p~ortunity to develop. On the whole the
outlook is dark for the Minnesota repub-
licans. McGibbs' supporters want re-
venge for his defeat by Merriam in the
1888 convention. The farmers are
breaking loose from party lines. They
are dissatisfied with the broken promises
of the republican party on tariff revision
and are In a mood to smash things gem
orally. The time is opportune for a com
b.nation of the democrats and the farm
ers' alliance on Il broad, liberal platform.

HENRY STANLEY has become a land
prospsotor on a large scale. He gave
Germany some advice which she has
turned to good account in obtaining a
footing In Africa. Now he has taken
England under his wing and is giving
some points as to where John Bull can
file homestead claims. He touched,
however, on dangerous ground when
commenting the energy and resolution
of the Germans, he sneered at quaker
ism, peace societies and namby-pamby
journalism" The humanitarian senti-
ment is strong in England and resents
such Sights. The New York reporter
has now attained a dizzy height. 1t will
soon be evident what his real aims and
plans are. England would do we'll to
employ him permanently, but her mill
tary aud official system repels men of the
Stanley type.

7,HE LEAD

THE Kansas smelters are working hard
against the proposed duty on lead ore.
A Washington telegram to the Salt Lake
Tribune says: "The fight on the lead ore
duty begun on Saturday in the house and
will be bitterly contested. The western
delegates and representatives are serious
ly alarmed Over the outlook. The smelt-
ing interests have II strong Kansas City
lobby here and the Farmers Alliance of
Kansas is claiming that 40 per cent of her
hog product is exchanged for Mexican
lead ores, and that the duly will destroy
her trade with Mexico. Senator Teller
and Representative Townsend of Colo
RADIO, Representative Carter and Delegate
Dubois are working like Trojans to stem
the tide which seems to be setting in.
The Kansas. influence Is likely to capture
Senators Plump and Ingalls, in the upper
house. No pains should be spared
by the mining interests to forward
statistics at once of the ability of
western mines to furnish tluying ores"
The statement that 40 per cent of the
"Kansas hog product is exchanged for
Mexican ores" is sheer nonsense. There
is a heavy duty en- pork, ham and other
hog products in Mexico where very little
American meat is consumed ut all. We
learn that American smelters W the
Sierra Mojada mlnes in Mexico aud are
thus concerned in freq lead ore. This,
not the "hog product" is what makes
them so active.
The cry that lead fluxing ores are
scarce is absurd as the "hog product
plea. Barker and Neihart in Montana
the Ceur d. Alene region in Idaho, and
the immense sllver.l lead deposits of Utah
are all prepared to supply all the lead
pres that are needed for smelling pur-
poses. The country got along very we'll
before any Mexican ores were imported
and Can do so still. 1t also managed to
sell all its "hog product" before the Kan,
sas smelters became so interested in its
sale.

The death of o. II. Rothaker closes
the career of II journalist, who began
work in Kentucky over 20 years ago and
had since made his mark at Denver,
Washington and Omaha, where he was
editor of the Republican. Like Prentice,
he was great as paragraph writer, but
like him he could rise to articles, de
scriptive or argumentative of a high
order. His eulogy on John A. Logan
was notably eloquent and pathetic.

Special Dispatch TO The Leader.
OMAHA, Dec. 30,-The first step toward
the Capitalization of authority in the
Union Pacific management was made to-
day in the appointment by General Man
ager Clark of +. L. Lomax as general
passenger and ticket agent of the entire
Union Pacific system.
Mr.. Lomax has had the title of general
passenger agent for a number of years,
but under the Adams administration really
had jurisdiction only over the Missouri
river division of the road, each Of the
other divisions of the system being sup
Piled with a separate general passenger
agent. The extension of Mr.. Lomax's
authority does away with the general pas
senger agents OF the various divisions of
the system.
The men who have held the positions aE-
fected are: T. w. Lee, general passen-
ger agent Pacific division, Portland; Geo.
Ady. general passenger agent Colorado
and Fort Worth divisions, Denver; II. j..
Lynd. general passenger agent of the St.
Joe Il Grand Island. St. Joseph. with
division and assistant general agents at
Ogden, Salt Lake, Fort Worth, Kansas
City, Pocatello and other division points.
Some of the general passenger agents will
be retained as division passenger men.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Gorman made
the point of no quorum when the senate

secured. The Journal ofyesterday was read.

ate the credentials of Frederick =. Dubois
as senator from Idaho for the term be.
ginning March 1, 1891. Referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.
Reagan gave notice OF two amendments
to Aldnck's closure resolution.
The morning hour having expired, the
senate resumed consideration of the
elections bill, and Hoar continued his
speech, commenced Yesterday, in its ad-
vocacy.
At the conclusion oil Hoar's speech,
Wolcott spoke against the bill. He said
the time consumed in the consideration of
this bill would be better employed in the
consideration of other n more important
measures before the senate. He dis
approved of the provisions Of the bill. At
the close of his speech the elections bill
was laid aside and the bill reported from
the finance committee was taken up.
Stewart attacked the bill and spoke 10
favor of free coinage.
Reagan followed, speaking in favor Of
free silver.
The senate then resumed consideration
OF the elections bill. In a speech in op-
position TO it Teller intimated that the
closure rule would be called up next
Tuesday.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30. -President Miller
of the st. Paul road. commenting on the
statement made by President Dillon of
the Union Pacific, said this evening that
he was glad to hsar that the tripartite
agreement was still in force. as nearly
everybody else had thought it was dead.
If it is still in force he is at a loss to
know how the traffic agreement between
the Union Pacific and the Northwestern
roads can stand. By the terms of one the
other cannot exist. The st Paul road,
he said. will endeavor through legal pro-
ceedinRs to enforce the contract Tor the
use OF the bridge terminals.
President Gable Of the Rock Island ex-
pressed similar sentiments. Neither he
nor Mr.. Miller would express an opinion
as to whether their contracts with the
Union Pacific were in violation OF the
regulations of that road to the govern
ment. What steps they have tiken re-
garding legal proceedings were also kept
quiet Both will attend the presidents
meeting in New York, and it is thought
they are reserving what they may have
TO say until then. The general impression
seems to be that Gouli will gain his
point in keeping the Rock Island and st.
Paul out Of Omaha II he does, it is
not at all certain that they will carry out
the original project OF uiliing an Inde-
pendent bridge.

When anything stands the test of fity
years among a discriminating people like
the Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. The value
of a medicine is best proved by it's con
nnued use. from year to year by the same
persons and families, as well as by a
steady increasing sale. Few, if any,
medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked the
Introduction and progress of B~randreth's
Pills, which, after a trial of over fifty
years, are conceded to be the eaiest and
most effectual p~urgative introduced to the
public.
That this is the result o fmerit. and
that Brandreth's Pills actually perform all
that is claimed for them, is concluslvely
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

BIG FIRE IN LONDON.
That City Visited by the Worst
Fire in Many Years.
Four Large Blocks of Build
ings Destroyed.
The Loss Estimated at About
100000.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-A terrific confia-
grafton is now( e p. m. raging in this city.
The scene of the fire is at Queen Victoria
and Thames streets near Blackfriars
bridge. Numerous warehouses are blaz-
ing. London seems destined TO suffer one
of the largest and most destructive fires in
its history of recent years.
Fourteen fire engines we're soon upon
the spot. The fremen did their utmost.
but with little success, TO check the course
OF the flames. A high wind blowing ma
terially added to the fury of the flames
while hinderlng the firemen In their eli
forts TO save property. Terrible sheets OF
fame and clouds OF hot smoke frequently
whirled dangerously near them. The
large wholesale fur msnufactory of Revil-
lon Freeres, l27 to l4l Queen Victoria
street, was doomed shortly after the fire
gained a strong headway. Following
this n large copper warehouse
aud a number of fancy goods
stores and the Gulcher Electric Light and
Power company's building also fell q prey
to the flames. The fire spread rapidly on
all sides as if there were no firemen or
fire engines present. Immense crowds of
people gathered on the bridges over the
Thames aud IN the streets running down
to the river where a good view of the
confiagrstion could be hhd. Many ex-
pressed a hope that this disaster would at
last bring about a reform in the London
fire brigade.
As the fire progressed it spread to the
headquarters Of the Salvation Army.
The Salvationists worked like beavers in
their efforts to place the records and other
property of the arm 10 a place of safety.
At 4 D. m. the FIRE rapidly spread in all
directions. All the buildings from the
corner of Bennet's hill TO No. 1873 Queen
Victoria street were either blazing fercely
or else were sm~ouldering ruins.
The fire originated in the building of
G. Davidson & Sons, paper manufacturers
and bag makers. at l19 Queen Victoria
street. This building was a large stone
structure aud was completely Quilted, as
was also that Of Adolph Fiankan & Co..
manufacturers OF pipes aud importers Of
tobacco. The old Bennett church on
Upper Thames street aud the famous
Welsh church also caught FIRE. At 4.30
D. m. what would be termed In New York
four large blocks Of buildings were in
flames and burning steadily.
At 5 o'clock St. Benefits church was
completely destroyed. The fremen man
