A Woman successfully Resists Two
COnstablcs.
Constables Weems and Rawlins will not
soon forget their experience In Baltimore
on Thursday while serving q writ of dis
traint on Mrs. J. i. Fink. The woman
was alone when they called and she re-
quested that they suspend operations .h,ti until
her husbands return. The constables,
however, did not care to waste any time,
NO they proceeded to haul out the
furniture. Then Mrs. Fink became yery
angry. She gave the men piece of her
mind. and when they laughed good hu-
moredly she became furious, and, push
out Constable Weenis, who was order
ing the colored teamster to clear the
room. The man did his best to
defend himself, but he was no match for
the woman. She pounded him until Con-
stable Rawlins, finding that his associate
was getting the worst Of l., came to his as
tactics and began firing bisque Dg-
ures, vases, &c, at the men, who
were kept busy dodging. Then
Rawlins caught Mrs. Fink by the
wrist, but she used her teeth
on the constable's hat and coat until her
husband came in. Mr.. Fink Indignantly
demanded the release Of his wife, and the
constable complied. As soon as she was
at liberty, Mrs. Fink fired piano stool at
the constables. II was a good shot, and
brought down both her husband and
Rawlins.
The constables and bailiffs did not wait
to explain matters, but fled from the scene
to the Northwestern police station, where
they swore out warrant for the
arrest of Mrs. Fink on charge
of assault and battery. Mrs. Fink sur
rendered to Capt. Droste, and swore out n
counter warrant charging the constables
with using too much force in the perform
ance of their duty. At the hearing Mrs.
Fink showed her wrists, which were badly
lacerated. All hands were released on bail

He Can Handle Electric Wires.

Jacob Pfetch, superintendent of the
Erie Motor Car company, gave an eShibi-
tion in Erie on Thursday of his invention
of q personal insulation which enables
him to handle live wires with impunity.
Pfetch took the "buzz rod" of the dyna-
mos which operate the entire Erie city
system of street cars and with bare
hands received the full charge Of almost
six hundred volts of electricity, and,
although his clothes were wet and he
stood on wet soil, he did not
ground the current. His invention will
prove savior to all men engaged in hand.
ling electric wires Pfetch was prompted
TO the necessity for such an invention by
the electrical fatalities so common. His
personal insulation can be worn by anyone
without either inconvenience or harm.

Fifty Men.

In our quotation OF the recent re-
mark OF Chauncy Depew, the N. Y.
Central plutocrat, at an after dinner
speech, we did not give the whole OF
1T. Here is the remark with the adj
dition in reference to the currency:
"Fifty men in this United States
have itin their power by reason of the
wealth which they control, to come
together within twenty-four hours
and arrive at an understanding by
which every wheel of trade and com
merce may be stopped from revolv-
ing, every avenue of trade blocked,
and every electric key struck dumb.
Those fifty men can paralyze the
whole country, for they can control
the circulation of the currency, and
create panic whenever they will"

However bitterly we may be op-
posed to a manor however much we
may despise his treason to noble
cause-we do not wish to stand in
the light of false accuser, even in a
trivial matter. The GREAT WEST,
in some small differences, in the
course OF a year of hard confict-has
doubtless made some errors. o. of
those we wish to correct now-before
the close OF the campaign consigns
that Campaign Committee to obliv-
ion. We stated that r. j. Hall was
the Hall who went east to purchase
the Irvine 1nachinery-we refer to the
second trip. AS it turns out that the
committee we're badly involved in a
charge of boodleism, it becomes ne
cessary to do justice even to a man
for whom we have no feeling of SYM
pathy or kindness. President Hall
was not on that committee. 1t was
another Hall. We wrote to one who
ought to know, whether it was ''R.
j. and the answer was that it was
the alliance Hail." But he was mis-
taken, and SO we're we. It was an
other Halo. NJ. Hall.

Albert Warren has stated at his
home that he did not contribute to
the watch fund. He did contribute
and he aided in raising the fund, and
was one of the "hilarious" fellows as
described in the St. Paul Daily News.
He also says that their rooms at the
Merchants Hotel costs him nothing.
Then we want to know who pays for
them! No money whatever is coming
into the hands of that Watch Com
mittee. This is admitted, and has
been admitted all the time. Then
who pays the enormous expense of
the campaign? Who paid the News
the $500 for the printing of one job?
Who pays the News for it's services ?
Who pays the average expenses OF
$500 a week? Where does all this
money come from? Has the Com
mercial National Bank" been repaid
its $500 contribution?

A Mammoth Boycott,

The most tremendous "boycott''
ever attempted in the commercial
history OF the world is that now be-
ing INDUCED in by the Railroad
Freight Association. The time to ar
rest laboring organizers for working
boycotts on dealers is over with now,
for the railway plutocrats, being de-
termined to crush competition, have
entered into a conspiracy more po-
tent, more injurious and more william
GUS, than was ever dreamed of be-
fore.
Every Association road in this
country is now called upon by the
association under President Faith
orn, to boycott the Union Pacific
Railway! The Northwestern system
stands somewhat aloof-but only ap-
parently.
"The programme was finally ar
ranged today All lines in interest
have Missouri river and St. Paul ter
minals or connections. To Denver
and Colorado all traffic will be turned
over to the Rock Island or Burling-
ton. To Helena and Montana points
the traffic will be taken to st. Paul
and given to the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern and the North
western Pacific will get it all. To
California and southern points the
traffic will be diverted to the Atchi-
son, Missouri Pacific and Southern
Pacific. The boycott originated from
an attempt of the Union Pacific to
compel the payment OF higher pro-
portions from it's connecting lines.
The competing through lines took
advantage OF the situation and the
result has shown how perfectly sur
rounded the Uuion Pacific is The
feeling is SO intense that it is al
together likely that passenger bust
ness will be likewise diverted"

We have often been told that we
did not give enough consideration to
the Single Tax doctrine. Mrs. Fran
ces Russell, an editor of the Woman's
Review, of St. Paul, handed us an ad-
dress by Thos. &. Shearman, one OF
the greatest economic students OF
the age. 1t is the best exposition we
havee ever seen of the relations of cap
ital to production, and we publish
the entire address. To say that it is
a grand document is to only half de-
scribe it. Our readers will find it
wonderfully interesting and instruc-
tive.

Total cost per mile. .

Total cost per mile......... $7,262
This road was bonded for SIG, 900
to the mile-all it would bear. Be-
sides the $16, 900 per mile it received
bonus gifts and gifts of the right of
way. Besides that the charge of
$500 in above schedule for right OF
way is enormously bloated, as is the
steel rail account unless it has un-
usually heavy rails. And yet it costs
but s., 1862 per mile, and Crookston
voted to build seven miles of it free!
Then look at the sidetracks-
$4,000 worth every eight miles Ia
most extraordinary cost, and one
which is not within the bounds of rea-
son.
Oh, the times will yet open up a

Well, What is tho Outlook!

The independent vote has greatly
increased in the past fortnight. 1t
indeed looks as though we might sue
coed even this year!
And if not?
Well, of course then it lies between
Merriam and Wilson. Between the
two we will express no choice. Let
the ballots reveal the story. In the
matter of "chances," if the indie
pendent ticket polls $4,000 votes
there is little question but that the
railway attorney will get there. If
we poll $4,000 or less Merriam will
get there. As we poll the state here,
any alliance vote under $4,000 and
over 10000 will give the state to
Wilson. Of course the turning of the
state over to Kelley and Doran
would be an affection. If Buck or
Pope had been nominated the demo-
cratic party would have shown some
desire for great reforms.
1t is more and more evident that
our friends should enter the field at
once aud work among the democrats
to urge them into the alliance fold.

member that the bargains" have all

Some disguised puppy, too con-
temptible to sign his name-too des-
picable to wear q doorplate-writes
a letter to the Globe stating that
Tom Wilson would make a better
leader for the alliance than the
GREAT WEST. Evidently many think
so because the Alliance permits Tom
Wilson's Alliance State Committee to
run them. In the meantime, however,
this scullion might count up the 700
alliances organized directly through

The Duluth, Crookston and North

The editor OF the Progressive Age
gets off some wierd English at times
and lacks not for cuteness of ex-
preston. The G. w. struck out pref
ty hard on Prof. Dobbyns recently,
and the Prof. turns the tables in
forcible style-thus:
"The GREAT WEST is now one year
old. One doctor was present at it's
birth; two now watch over the
growth and general development of
the belligerent youngster. No lad OF
it's age ever was kicked and cuffed SO
much out side of the family, and yet
the young rascal will get out of bed,
forget it's breakfast, to go out to
fight. 1t kicks high and it kicks low,
and strikes all around. 1t splts,
Kisses, scratches and screams, makes
faces and sticks out it's tongue. 1t
fights when mad, and it is mad all
the time. It's cry, is ayell OF defiance;
when it weeps, it is for blood and
battle. The child, this somewhat
wondrous child, lives to curse and
kill what ever fights with it. 1t has
it's heaven when in the hell of those it
hates, and yet, withal, this hurley,
boisterous boy fights well for some,
if i'll for some, and lives for some
good purposes as our fathers used
to say"

meal on the mouth OF the youDgster.
