S.v.1. sroREs.-The market for spirits tur-

an Indifferent inquiry helped to weaken values
Until to-day, when sales were made at 34c for
recnlars The Intervention of two holidays in

strong and advancing. There was a good in

The shipping movement for the week was quite

CoTroN-The market was very firm during
the past week. 1t was quiet. however, so far as
the inquiry was concerned, while the Offering
stock was exceedingly small, and business as q
whole was very light. To-day the market
closed firm at an advance of &c all around.
The receipts at the ports continue
to fall off steadily. while the supply
in sight is very much reduced, which strength

total sales for the week were only 4S5 bales.

The Voters Of Minnesota Re-
pudiate Two Am endments
Submitted to Them.
Forty Thousand or More Will
Be the Majority Against
the One.
Republican Politicians Schem.
ing to Gain Control Of the
Next House,
But the Alliance and Democ-
racy Have the Thing in
Their Hands.

The people of Minnesota will no
longer vote for the adoption of any
amendment that may be submitted
without carefully considering both sides
of the matter. This was demonstrated
most conclusively at the election two
weeks ago. The legislature of 1889 sub
mitted two amendments to the people
to be voted on at the election Just past.
One provided for the repeal of the law
enacting the railroad gross earnings
taxation law. while the other sought to
amend article of the constitution by
providing that in civil actions five
SlXthS of jury could render verdict.
Below will be found the official re-
turns from thirty SIX counties. from
which it will be seen that the railroad
amendment is beaten by at least 10000.
or the thirty-siX counties above but
fifteen gave the required two-thirds ma
Jority for the jury amendment. the
other twenty-one being found on the
other side of the balance. There is no
doubt possibility that the jury amend
ment has carried, but the chances are
that it has not.
The fate of these amendments will
doubtless put a stop to practice
which has prevailed in times past in:
some bill providing for the submission
of an Objectionable and dangerous
amendment. In the old days tickets
were printed with Eyes" on them,
and the voter, without thinking, cast
cast his ballot for something he would
never have voted for lad be been
obliged to consider the matter. The
returns from about half the counties of
the state on these amendments follow:

HARRIsoN,s DILEMMA

The president is, no doubt. already
formulating the official delivery that is
to do duty as his annual state paper to
congress. There is no unseemly popu-
lar eagerness to know whether he will
urge any new tack by the party in view
of the late voting. Some of his party
organs are advising him that he has the
opportunity of his life. The party. is
dazed, and fancies that it can find lead
ership only with BLAINE. The theory
is that it is the special prerogative of
the president to blaze the way for the
party, and that it has never needed
bold and definite declarations of policy
from that quarter more than now. But
he is not JACKSON. or even a REED.
While he is timidly paltering and won
dering whether he had better surrender
to BLAINE and crawl in to the big hat,
or stand up by himself, the secretary
will weave his web about him and take
him in,

BEFORE AND AFTER.

Speaker REED joins Senator DoLPH
in complaining about the ingratitude of
the protected manufacturers He says,
-'They helped to set the people in a
panic about the MCKINLEY bill after
they had obtained just what they
wanted at the hands of the majority in
congress- The ingratitude of the
manufacturers consisted in raising the
prices of their goods in accordance with
the provisions of the new tariff law. 1t
will be remembered that in his st. Paul
speech Mr.. REED declared that the
prices had not been raised, and that the
rise existed only in the Imagination of
the Democratic editors. 1t will be fur
fhermore remembered that Mr.. REED
asserted the MCKINLEY bill was passed
after giving due consideration to all in
terests, those of consumers not ex-
cepted Hence his after-eiection talk is
not at all consistent with his ante-elec-
ton utteranceS. Itdoes man of REEDS
type good to get mad occasionally, in
that it enables him to tell the truth.
Before the next election comes around
Mr.. REED will take back all the truth
full statements he is now making. and
will resume his old business of lying
about the effects of high tariff.

VACANT HOUSES.

The Cleveland Herald has the state
ment that some of the members of the
real estate and stock exchanges of Kan
sas City have sought to dlssipate certain
unfayorable impressions by compare
son of the number of vacant houses in
that city and the Twins. 1t is alleged
that they had count made in the three
cities, and found in Kansas City 1, 1893
st. Paul 1,S76, and Minneapolis 2,194.
The figures may be correct for the Mis-
souri, town, but are absurdly large for
the Twins. 1t would be a novel freak
for the parties to make such a count,
and if attempted they have been i'm
posed upon by their authorities. A great
number of dwellings have been erected
in st. Paul this year, but there lis nc
special surplus. The stiffness of rentals
affords evidence of this. Kansas City
polled about 1900 votes on the 4th, and
st. Paul nearly $4,000, although the cen
sus puts them near together. This may
only show that this city is badly under
counted

be very nice arrangement for DAVIS
if MERRIAM could be put into training
for the vice presidency, and thus leave
him clearer field in the senatorial
race.
The GLOBE is not so partisan rs to
throw cold water on the MERRIAM
boom. If the governor wants the nomi-
nation for vice president, we have state
pride enough TO wish him success.
1t would be an honor to Minnesota
to have Il candidate on the national
ticket, and we know of no Min
nesota Republican better entitled to the
honor than the present governor.
And then, too, we admit to selfish
reason for Wishing the governor to get
the nomination. BLAINE and MER-
RAM would make good ticket to beat.
We would mop the earth with them
when election day came around. 1t
would be so thoroughly representative
OF PROTECTION aud PLUToCRACY that
the American people would stamp the
feathers out of it.
The fact iS.we have faith in the ability
OF the Democracy to crush any ticket
that the Republicans may put up in
1892. But there would be a degree of
pride in licking the BLAINE and MER-
RAM ticket, because we would have
overcome foemen worthy of our steel.

BLAINE AND MERRIAM.

Now that the election is over, the poll
ticians are settling down to the work of
president making for 1892. The two
conspicuous figures on the Democratic
side are HILL and CLEVELAND. while
BLAINE seems to have a clear field on
the Republican side. Hence the main
work at present is to figure out proper
candidates for second place on the
ticket. Among those prominently men
toned for the Vice-preSideucy on the
Democratic ticket are Senator CAR
Isle, Gov. CAMPBELL, Gov. GRAY and
Gen. PALMER. The Republicans have
had very little to say so far about the
second place. They are in so much of
a quandary as to whether it is safe to
risk BLAINE again at the head of the
ticket, they have had neither the time
nor the inclination to discuss candidates
for the ice-presidency.
The first movement in the latter
direction is suggestion made by the
Eye local journal, more devoted to
society matters than to politics, which
gives double-leaded boom to Gov.
MERRIAM, of this state, for the vice
presidential nomination, and couples
his name with that of BLAINE. While
it may occur to the average reader that
this suggestion of Gov MERRIAM's
name is merely intended as innocent
fiattery, there is probably more in it
than is popularity supposed. Gov. MER-
RAM has the Ciesarian quality of amDf-
ton; and, being young and rich, there is
no reason why he should not be dis
posed to improve his opportunities. His
success in the late election, when
his party went to wreck so universally,
naturally opens the door for promotion
in the party organization. The man who
could hold his end up during such a
landslide as occurred on last election
day will naturally attract attention
throughout the country. Hence it is
not among the impossible things. or
even the improbable, that Coy. MER-
RAMS name should be canyassed in
Republican circles as an available
candidate for the second place on the
ticket in 1892.
There is another consideration in
Gov. MERRIAM's favor in case he should
have the presidential bee in his
bonnet. Senator DAVIS friends realize
that some disposition must be made of
MERRIAM if their champion is to get
another term in the senate. 1t would

AN AUTUMN PICTURE.

Now round red roofs stand russell stacks
arrow;
Hemeward from cleaning in the stubbly
wheat
High overhead the harsh rock saileth slow.
And eupless acorns crackle meath your
feet
No breeze, no breath, veereth the oasthouse
hoods.
Whence the faint smoke floats fragrantly
away;
And, in the distance, the half hazy woods
Glow with the barren glory of decay.
Fafnly the bramble strives TO drape the
hedge,
Whose leafiess gaps show many an empty
nest;
The chill pool stagnates round the seeded
sedge
And as the sunset saddens in the West,
Funeral mist comes creeping down the dale,
And widowed Autumn weeps behind her
veil. ALFRED Austin

Senator SPooNER is the only Republi-

as entirely satisfied with the president,

Gen. SPooNER aspires to be a Judge of
the supreme court, and that HARRISON
holds the appointing power, il is reason
ably clear why SrooNER IS courageous
