DRUhIMERs IN POLITICS.

"Whichever way the drummer talks
the election goes" has got to be politi-
cal proverb in this country. And there
is great deal of truth in it. These
angels of commerce who fit about over
the land in such goodly numbers usually
obtain pretty correct idea of popular
sentiment, and are never slow to pro-
claim it. During the presidential cam
paign of 1883 prominent New York
politician declared that the most dis
couraging sign for the Democracy was
that the drummerS were all talking for
HARRISON.
Accepting this as correct criterion
by which to determine public senti-
ment, the Democracy have great en-
enlargement this year. The CONNER
cial travellers are ali talking against the
tariff, and are predicting sweeping
Democratic victory. This is reasonable,
for the MCKINLEY bill is an awful stroke
on all commercial interests. There is
not a jobbing house i'll the whole coun-
try but is more OF less damaged by it,.
AS class the drummers who travel for
the jobbers are brainy set of fellows,
oA'Sut, iiltOiiiSSHt SouiiS iiiNi WIZ III .
capable of understanding the interests
of their peculiar line of business. They
know what hurts them and what bene-
fits them. They furthermore know what
is good for the country. They know
that the prosperity of the wholesale
houses depends on the prosperity of the
country merchants, and that the coun-
try merchants are dependent Oh the
prosperity of the farmers. When the
farmers suffer all classes of business
must languish. That is the history of
all trade and commerce in this country.
Hence the hurtful influences of the
mckinley bill are too apparent for the
drummer to keep his mouth shut. He
has to talk, and he must talk against
the Ubiquitous measure. His conscience
couldn't be reconciled unless he did.
And as these brainy fellows, with the
gift of speech. invade every community
and mingle with the people. they make
a campaign committee surprising in
power and influence those of the regu-
latiOn sort

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Editor SHEPHERD, of the New York
Mail and Express, who claims to oc-
cupy more confidential relations with
President HARRISON than almost any
one else, is authority for the statement
that the president intends to call an
extra session of congress to consider the
force bill. Mr.. SHEPHERDS story
doesn't bear credibility on the face of
it, and yet there is possibility of its
sTuthfulneSS. InaSmuch as congress
convenes in regular session early in De-
,ember, one can hardly see the neces-
sity for an extra session before that
lime, however urgent its business might
De. 1t would be almost like tempting
Providence for the Republicans to in
iect the force bill into their campaign,
and yet the audacity of this adminlstra-
ton is beyond all comprehension. Au-
daclty, extravaganza and corruption are
The ruling principles of the Fifty-first
congress, and it is not improbable that
The president has become infected.
There is an evident desire on the part
Of the Republican leaders to have some
thing to obscure the tariff question in
many sections of the country, and they
imagine if they can revive the force bill
and thus force sectional issues, they
may be able to divert the attention of
the Western farmer from the tariff. In
their desperate straits they are liable to
grab at straws, and as the federal cleo
ton bill is the only thing in sight that
gives hope, it is just possible that the

session. The extra session would not
convene until after the election, but the
fact that it had been called to consider
the force bill would give the Repub-
lican organs and orators something to
spread themselves on. 1t is anything
with them to dodge the tariff.

WILL HAVE THE MATER

If South Dakota is not going to toll
crate much of the sort of irrigation that
relates to the internal economy, it is
evidently going to find out what refresh
ment for its soil is to be had in the ele-
Walton of the vast undercnrrents. TIE
county of which Huron is the capital is
to have artesian wells at once to water
$4,000 acres, and in Brown vote is to
be had on the question of sinking 200
wells. There is to be general move
ment in the counties of the James river
valley, and it is believed that next years
crops in an area of LOCO square miles
will test the claims made for the system.
There is hardly question that the
water supply will be found ample and
permanent, and the tests had show that
it can be made to do the service desired.
Recent publications of geological au-
thorities are believed to be conclusive
as to the practicability of the scheme.

MAY TIE UP THE SYSTEM.
Northwestern Trainmen Insist
EnOn an Aduanna liz, XNnooS


Upon an Advance in Wages.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-To-day it looked as
If crisis had been reached in the con-
ference between the special committee
of the engineers and firemen of the
Northwestern system and the officials
of the road. An advance had been con-
ceded III the wages of engineers hand
ling mogul engines, but refusal met
the committee on their request for the
adjustment of the classification system
extending for period over one year.
In the morning President Marvin
Hughitt sent for the committee, and re-
queSted another conference in addition
to the long one brought to close last
evening. To-day's meeting lasted all
day, an adjournment being taken
for lunch. 1t was at this
stage that matters began assuming a
threatening aspect. Before the close of
ident Hughitt assured the men that to-
morrow morning settlement would be
reached that would undoubtedly prove
acceptable. The classification system to
which such strong objections have been
made, provides that a fireman, after
promotion to position as engineer,
after several years apprenticeship, shall
be classed as third rate engineer and
receive pay only about half that paid
other engineers. During dull seasons
the company, it is charged, takes
advantage of the system and
places second and third-class men
on its engines, thereby redue-
ing wages thousands of dollars annually.
1t was learned for the first time this
evening that the subcommittee, who
are holding the conference, is the SUI
preme committee of the fireInen and en-
giueers of the entire Northwestern sys-
tenn, its chairman, Herman Wits, of
Clinton, To-, being also chairman of the
general grievance committee. 1t has
the sole right to declare strike should
one be deemed necessary. Affiliated
with the engineers is the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, and the firemen are
members of the Federation of Railway
Employees, thus controlling the entire
train service.

TRUSTS ARE GERONIMO.

The st. Louis Republic complies from
its files list of the trusts reported in
the dispatches as formed since the in
auguratlon of HARRISON. 1t would be
an extreme statement that these are all
due to the success of the Republican
party, but it is undeniable that the high
tariff policy is promotive of trusts, and
the pledge of continuance or increase
of this sort of protection has contributed
to the formation of combinations and
trusts. New lots of them are being
formed under the protection of the Nc
kINLEY tariff. The list made I'D fills
several columns and comprises in the
main articles in common use. In each
case the amount of protection given the
trust by the tariff is specified,
For instance. window glass. 1t en-
braces all the producers of this
glass in the country, and the
MCKINLEY tariff extends its foster
ing arm about it with DUTY of $3.50 on
81 of value. This combination COM
pleted the full absorption of that pro-
duction last February, when prices were
advanced Is per cent, the third advance
since December last. The MCKINLEY
act will give still larger opportunities
for enriching their participants out of
the docile public. The methods of this
trust are the common and familiar ones.
A tariff is procured to shut out danger
GUS competition from abroad; then any
who refuse to come into the deal are
bought out or crushed. The home mar
ket is then at their mercy. To obviate 4
glut of goods many of the mills are kept
idle portions of the time aud the
workmen deprived of employment.
In the case of this glass trust
most of the mills stopped are in the
West. This is explained by the fact
that the main control of the trusts is in
the East. 1t is asserted that the coming

WHO HREw THE BRICK?
Strange Antics of Demented
Young Wanderer.

Nettie Breen is in trouble again.
Nettie IS nutty, without shadow of
doubt. A few weeks ago she was
brought into police headquarters, nav
ing been found wandering aimlessly
about the streets by an officer. She told
a strange story of having run away from
her sister who lives in Dakota. She
was sent out to the city hospital and
discharged the next morning. Last
night some one threw brick through
the window of clothing store on West
Third street. No one was in sight ex-
cept Nettie, and she was again
arrested. She denied having thrown
the brick, but was placed in a
cell pending the arrival of DIR.
Ancker, who had been summoned. In
her lucid intervals the woman stated
that she had been twice committed to
Rochester, once from Mankato and
again from this city. She has also been
an inmate of the Northern hospital for
insane at Oshkosh.
The authorities of the latter institu-
ton were telegraphed last night by Dr..
Ancker, and reply from them is
awaited ere Miss Breen's future destin-
alton is determined on. She claims to
have sister residing IN Fond du Lac.

and by the tremendous resources at
their command, control congress and

not specially profitable to hurl denunci-
alton at the men who compose these

themselves of the opportunities afforded
them by the Republican policy of cor
nering the market. The policy is iniq-
uitous, and should be overthrown. 1t

Browning Champion Batter.

Long Pete Browning, the cratic left
fielder of the Cleveland brotherhood
club, is unquestionably the champion
batter of 1890. 1t was thought towards
the end of the season that Orr, of Brook
Ign, and O'Rourke, of New York, were
i'll the lead, with Browning close third.
This impression seems to have been
wrong. The official figures will show
that not only Browning leads. but leads
away off, and that Orr and OROurke are
not even close to him. Orr will prob
ably finish second place, with O'Rourke
third.

The impression that about all the senators
are millionaires is not quite correct. This
is owing to the unequal distribution, as
twenty-six of them are credited with $751;
100000. This would make them all mill
ionaires if apportioned equally. 1t would
also enable any of them to pay the reputed
California price for seat, $500, GOO. with
out having to fall back upon the salary or
