cause these qualities act as so many
stimulants TO the respective faculties in

that the Republican party had had the
nerve to 40 its duty and pass tariff
bill in the face of an election. 1t might
have shunted it Off until after election,
out 1t had the courage of its convictions,
and did not.
This ended the meeting, and Gov.
Merriam so announced, though it was
unnecessary, as the crowd was pouring
out by hundreds. But before it went
it again cheered Capt. Snider. and again
dark green chased itself over Gov.
Merriam's features.
The Newmarket meeting was made
up Of dense crowd which impatiently
listened to the ordinary speakers while
waiting for the cZar. When the latter
filed In ahead of Gov. Merriam and
Capt. Snide1 he was received with ap-
plauSe that seemed hollow mockery
after the former meeting. The speeches
were very short, doubtless having been
made so by the very apparent chilliness
Of the crowd.
The reception at the Ryan, in the aft

edvice of the Republican manager who,
in evening dress, with flashing dia-
mond on his shirt front, stood within
the door. "a mans got to have on a
%hite shirt to get in here" he added in
an undertone.
That was exactly the situation last
night. The Republican party managers
announced that when Mr.. Reed, of
Maine, came to st. Paul, the Grand
opera house would be thrown open and
would be free and equal to all. The
reverse was the case, and more fool
ishly and miserably managed affair
was never known in st. Paul
politics. Nothing but tickets went;
and those tickets were presented to the
kid glove element of the party. with
seat coupons attached. Other tickets
admitted to the stage through side
door, and were held by favored few
who wore diamonds and silk hats. and
were supposed to control few votes.
The crowd stormed the front door and
the side doors for hours, and many went
away hurling imprecationS on the heads
Of the Republican managers. AS
natural result, when Gov. Merriam
and Congressman Snider escorted
Hon. Tom Reed upon the stage, they
faced an almost empty house, being
slowly filled by tickethOlders. and could
hear the angry clamor of the crowd out
side. Gov. Merriam sized up the situa-
tion at once, and, rushing to the front
door, exclaimed:
Great God! What are you people
doing? This will cost US a thousand
VOteS!"
"Hl yes" exclaimed voice out
side, lit ought to cost you ten thous-
and"
This had the effect of letting in
hundred people at burst. but as soon
as Merriam's back was turned the old
tactics were renewed. At this rate it
was $50 O'Clock before the hall was
filed, and the rest of the crowd outside
was gruffly told it could go over to the
Newmarket and suck their thumbs
until the fat czar should come. The
stage at the Grand was typical aggre-
cation of Republicans, and diamonds
and silk hats met the eye everywhere.
When Gov. Merriam arose to open the
meeting he faced an audience in which
not a workingman was visible. This
was the idea of the managers, and was
exactly carried out.

PRIORITY OF INVENTION.
An Important Decision Affecting
Beer Filter.

WAsnINGToN.Oct. 2S.-Commissioner
Mitchell. of the bureau of patents, to.
day rendered an important decision In
the case OF zWietusch against Stock
helm, involving the right to certain
beer filter and filtering process for
purifying beer, now in very general use
in this country. it appears from the
record that Stockheim's applications
were first in the patent office. Zwei-
tusch, however, claims to be the first
inventor of the apparatus for practicing
the process as we'll as the process itself.
The only question involved, therefore,
is that of priority of invention. The
board of examiners in chief of the
patent Office found for Zweituseh. On
appeal to the commissioner, however,
their decision was reversed and priority
was awarded to Stockholm. This de-
cision follows that of Judge Gresham,
recently rendered in the suit brought
by Simon and Frederick Uhimann, as
assignee of the Stockholm patent,
against the Bartholomae 81 Leicht
Brewing company. Very large inter-
ests are involved in This decision, mas
much as the invention is said to be
valued at several million dollars.

SeCtlerS In CnOrSanlZed Counties

SPECIAL to the Globe.
PIERRE, s. D., Oct. 2S.-The supreme
court of South Dakota to-day handed
down decision in the noted certioran
case instituted by Huron parties. The
court set aside the actions of the COM
missionerS of Hughes county in estab-
fishing voting precincts Oh the recently
added Sioux reservation. The commits
sioners proceeded under the advice of
the governor and attorney general.
This is an outgrowth of the capital con-
test, and the action of the court to-day
disfranchises large number of settlers
in unOrganiZed counties west of the
Missouri river.
An opinion was handed down by the
supreme court this afternoon in the
certiorari proceedings brought by the
attorney general for the state against
the board of county commissioners of,
Hughes county. The opinion was writ
ten by Judge Kellam. all the judges
concurring, and in substance is that the
action OF the commissioners of Hughes
county attaching the counties of NoWlin
and Sterling, being unorganized coun-
ties, TO Hughes county for election pur-
poses. was irregular, erroneous, void
and of no effect, and that election pre-
cinctS as established by them are in vio-
latlOn OF the election laws of the state,
and an unwari anteG and illegal assump-
tiOn of power and jurisdiction by said
board of county commissioners, and an
unlawful, unauthorized interference
with the electric franchise of the state
of South Dakota, and an iljury to the
rights and elective franchise of all citi-
zens of the state. The whole proceed
ing of the board of commissioners of
Hughes county was and is irregular,
erroneous, void and of no effect.'' The
decision settles the aggravated question
and will prevent fraud in unorganlzed
counties and on the Sioux reservation.
but no legal voter will be DISTINGUISHED.

Balfour Receives an Ovation on

the Island of AchiH.
DUBLIN, Oct. 2S.-Mr. Balfour re-
ceived an ovation on landing in AchiH.
He said he was glad to meet the people.
and expressed sorrow for the failure
of their potatoes. which he knew
would cause them much suffer-
ing. He was glad he had been
able to sanction the construc-
ion of railway within seven miles of
the island, which he said would give
them employment, and he hoped to be
able to extend the line to the island. A
number of peasants escorted Mr.. Bal
four to various fishing stations, and
after dark escorted him over the
mountains. Mr.. Balfour promised to
finish a bridge between two points
of the island and to defray the expenses
out of his own pocket. The peasants
cheered him and expressed their graft
tude. On the route back to Westport
a triumphal arch was erected at Null
sany, and Mr.. Balfour was cheered by
knots of people at various points. One
of the local priests at Newport said
that Mr.. Balfour was the greatest bene-
factor Ireland ever had.and they looked
to him to bring peace and prosperity to
the country. At WeStpOrt Mr.. Balfour
received deputation of citizens, headed
by priest, who drew his attention to
the coming period of distress. Mir. Bal
four conferred at length with them as
to the best method of providing relief,
which, he admitted, would be necessary.
The priest said that the system of af-
fording relief adopted on former similar
occasions had demoralizing tendency,
and suggested that the people be en-
plOyed in the construction of light
railways and other works, but not un-
less such works were likely to prove
greatly to the benefit of the district
MIR. Balfour expressed his concurrence
In this view. Afterward Mr.. Baifour

The Petering Out of Natural Gas
Staggers Them.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 2S.-The order
of the Philadelphia Natural Gas COM
pany withdrawing fuel from pudding
furnaces, which goes into effect to- NOR
row, is hard blow to the iron manu-
facturers. 1t is estimated that 500 fur
naceS will undergo enforced idleness by
the order until they can be prepared for
the use of coal. 1t Is rumored that the
gas supply may be again furnished, but
the opinion expressed by the manufact-
urers is that unless they can secure
their gas supply from other sources,
they must return to the use of coal per-
manently. Several manufacturers have
already commenced to arrange their
fuel furnaces for the use of coal. The
shortage of gas was general throughout
Pittsburg and Allegheny to-day.
A large proportion of the peo-
pie who use gas fires weres
compelled to burn wood or coal. In
some parts of the city there was no gas
supply. The mills and furnaces con-
sumo about two-fifths of the gas fur
nished. When this supply is cut off
from the mills the gas will be turned
Into the mains for domestic purposes,
and it is believed will furnish suffi-
cient supply for all requirement. The
coal operators are greatly pleased over
the prospect that the mill operators will
return to the use of coal. The demand
will he heavy. and revival of business
and increased prices are expected.
