ANNEXATION FEELING.
The Toronto News Saws 1t Is More /.

The Toronto News Saws 1t Is More Gen.
eral Than Appears on the Surface.
ONTARIO, Nov. II. - The Toronto
News, Conservative paper, fears that
the feeling in favor of radical change
in the political statues on lines ad-
vanced by Colonel White, M, P, an
nexationist, is greater and more general
than appears upon the surface. In re-
fecting upon the position of Canada, it
says: ''If the Dominion will signify it's
readiness to accept commercial union,
we could have all the Americans have
to offer.i in many Of the markets. On the
other hand, we are in position to offer
the mother country absolutely free entry
for American manufactured goods in
return for discriminating tariff in
favor of Canadian products of field, for
est, mine and sea entering Great Brit
ain. One or the other course must be
taken. 1t is impossible that we can go
on as at present shut out, as we are,
from the markets Of this continent, and
not on equal terms by rivals in the
mother land"

A Marriage which E.cites Society.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 17.-Society circles
are much excited over the announce
ment that Miss Henrietta R. Crowell,
youngest daughter of the late Stephen
Crowell, former president of the Phoenix
Insurance company, married Nicoli
Niben, the man of all work employed
at DIR. Gates sanitarium, Lakewood, N.
j., with whom, it is said, she became
infatuated while sojourning at that
place. The lady was favorite with
her father. He left her half his fortune
and it is estimated at $2,O0O,O00. The
antecedents Of Niben could not be
learned,

St. Paul Globe: Mills and Springer,
who are candidates for speaker, differ a
little on the shape of the tariff legisla-
tion they would have this winter.
Mills would elaborate a complete reve-
nue. bill, with free raw materials for
New England, free wool and free sugar
without the bounty. Springers idea is
merely to extend the free list as no COM
plete tariff bill can pass the senate.
Both are Democratic, but Springer
would be likely to effect the most by
his method.
In other words, Mills wants his party
to be honest and brave enough to come
out boldly forfree trade, while Springer
prefers to juggle with the question just
enough to hold protection Democrats II
line and prevent fight next year or
the square issue. Meanwhile the busi
ness interests of the country in all lines
are feeling the benefcent effects of Re
publican legislation, and will be very
liable to sit down hard on the party tina
will not permit any economic policy t.
remain long settled.

The following sample walls from an
Independent organ go long ways to
sustain our ante-election opinion that
the Independent party was the only
one that had anything really at
stake in the result of November 8. The
organ says:
Five-sixths of the stay at home voters
of South Dakota were Independents. 1t
was principle not men that was the issue
with the Independents. yet they stayed
at home.
And again:
What shall we say then of the stay at
home Independents. who had every in
dncement to call them out to vote:
With platform of the grandest princi-
pies for which political party ever
fought; with divided and disorganized
opposition; with farmer and an old
soldier as our candidate: with splen
did party organization and loyal re
form press; with our army of speaker
holding meetings in every county in the
state, we have allowed the cities, towns
and. villages to out vote us and defea
our candidate.
There was indeed every inducemen
to call out the Independents to vote, TO
victory this year meant much in hold
ing the party together so that it nigh
cut some figure next year-if no NOR

The first years operations of the de-
linquent tax law have not proved it to
be brilliant success but on the con-
trary it has worked so far in exactly
the opposite direction from that which
was intended by it's trainers. A recent
Pierre dispatch says:
This new law does not seem to give
general satisfaction for the reason that
it shuts out all small bidders. In most
of the counties where the reports haye
been received from it appears that some
big syndicate controlling eastern
money has gone into the various coun-
ties and bid in all The farm lands at the
maximum rate of Is per cent. In a
great many of the counties lower rate
of interest would have been obtained if
the lands had been divided so as to
permit men of small means or the peo-
pie of our own state to bid.

G. T. Mccoy is said to hold Gov. Mel
lette's proxy as a member of the Nat.
ional Republican committee and is re-
ported to favor San Francisco as the
place of holding the convention. The
Yankton Press takes exception to his
alleged choice and says that Omaha is
the choice of three-fourths the people
of this state while the remainder favor
Minneapolis. Now. if we were to at
tempt to estimate the choice of South
Dakotans we would divide their sym.
pathies between Chicago and Minnea
polls. There is no particular reason
for favoring Omaha, which has never
lifted hand toward the development
of the state lying as it does largely il
her territory.

The Thunderer's Opinion.

LONDON, Nov. 17.-In an article pub
lished in The Times, comment is made
with regard to the activity Of the Chi
cago officials toward the anarchists. It
attributes this activity to the approach
ing of the time for the opening Of the
worlds fair, and predicts that any anar-
chist or lawless person who should be
guilty of murder within the next two
months will be summarily punished by

publican effort, for one more member of
congress in q hopeless minority would
count for little, even had not last years
margin Of 10000 plurality encouraged a
great many voters to believe that they
could remain at home without endang-
ering the ticket. And there was abso-
lutely nothing to spur the Democrats to
action, for theirs was forlorn hope at
best. When, therefore, we have the
evidence of the third party organs
themselves, after election as we'll as be-
fore, to corroborate the figures OF the
vote, we are amply justified in saying
that the mushroom party of pseudo
reform finds every reason for disagree
ment and little hope for the future in
the existing situation. And yeti can
not be wholly ignored during the cam
paign soon to begin. Its little handful
of so-called leaders will make last des
perate struggle to regain lost ground,
well-knowing that defeat next year
either in whole or in part will force
upon them all the necessity of earning a
livelihood instead of sponging it from
their long-sufering followers, who have
yet the first suggestion of real benefit
to discover out of all this agitation and
all this paying of dues.

Tramps and Trainmen Fieht.

DANv1LLE, Ind, Nov. 1e.-At a small
station west of here on the Big -Four
road, five fierce looking tramps got on a
train and took possession of the ladies'
coach for a short time. The passengers
were thoroughly frightened by the
tramps, who demanded money from
them. A stubborn fight ensued be-
tween the trainmen and the tramps,
who were finally fired off the train,

A Boston Meeting.

Boston, Nov. ia memorial meet
ing was held Sunday in Paine Memorial
hall, in honor of the anarchists execu-
tion in Chicago for participation in the
Haymarket riot. There was good at
tendance. All those present wore red
ribbons. Life sized portraits of the

form, which was also embellished by a
large red flag. The meeting was quietly
conducted, although some of the speak
ers were rather emphatic in their re-
marks.

Great Britain Not Anxiou. to Conclud.

Great Britain Not Anxious to Conclude
the Behrinc Sea Dispute.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-The Post say
that it has had official authority for the
statement that in the inner circles the
prevails that there will not
be speedy settlement of the Behring
sea controversy, and for these reasons:
Broadly stated it is not believed that
Great Britain desires so speedily to
reach a settlement. Great Britain be-
lieves that any fair Interpretation Of the
points in dispute will be favorable to
the United States. While to the greas
mass of Englishmen such conclusion
would be received with passive indiffer-
ence, directly contrary effect would
follow in the Dominion of Canada and
especially in British Columbia. With a
brutal disregard of all interests except
their own the Canadians insist upon
their right to poach in the
waters of Behring sea, and
do net think it crime to
raid the islands themselves in search of
plunder. Under these circumstances
any agreement that would shut the
poachers out would be followed by a
howl of indignation in the Dominion. II
the question be not settled by spring a
new modus vivendi will then be agreed
to. The past season has demonstrated
the impossibility of etfectually policing
the sea, inasmuch as the poachers are
said to have captured upwards of 10000
seals during the months of June, July
and August. 1t is true that this nun.
ber is smaller than formerly, but it i:
still considerable. If the poachers car
do as well next year, and they may d.
better, the opportunity is not to b.
despised. It would keep the Canadian
in good humor for another year, and il
diplomacy gain of one years time il
an advantage of no little moment.

LANSING, Mich, Nov. 14.-The su-
preme court has declared the interme-
date sentence law, fathered by the
state board of corrections and charities
modelled from like law in other states
and passed by the Michigan legislature
of 1889, to be unconstitutional. The act
permits the courts to sentence a crimi-
nal in a general way, leaving it to the
board of control of the prison to which
he is sent as to the amount of time to be

Two Nebraska Banks suspend.

OMAHA, Nov. 16.-A special from
Broken Bow says: The bank of Kloman
& Arnold has suspended business. They
gave mortgage to the Bank of Omaha
on all their real estate holdings. The
county and city officials, particular the
treasurer, are caught in the failure, as
that bank was used as depository. A
bank at Anselmo, owned by the same
parties, has also suspended, and several
of the Touring mills owned by them
have been attached.

The Last of a Fortune.

Fort WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 17.-During
the afternoon there was deposited in the
Hamilton National bank a S. gold GER
tificate on which had heen written the
following inscriptions: ''The last of a

The bill was received from large de-
positor among many others, and who
thus sorrowfully parted with his last
dollar will probably never be known.

Iowa Miners Victorious.

FORT DODGE, Ia, Nov. 1e.-The
strike among the coal miners on the Le-
high, inaugurated last spring, is ended.
The Carey Coal company has finally
conceded every point demanded by the
strikers, and the men have returned to
work, signing contract by which they
will receive 81 per ton for mining all
the year round. The fact that a coal
famine was in prospect here, is prob
ably responsible for the company's con-

controversy with Italy, growing out of
the Malta troubles in New Orleans. It
is more than probable that Italy has
taken advantage Of the trouble between
the United States and Chill to make
demand for an apology and a money in
demnity for the killing of two of her
subjects in New Orleans. Minister Por-
ter refused to give any reason for his
hasty and secret trip to Washington.

Removal of the Mile Laos.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-It is expected
that the Indian Office will recommend to
congress some definite legislation COM
pelling the removal of the Mile Lac In
dians to White Earth or some other
Chippewa lands. The efforts of Com
missioner Hall, while believed by In
dian officials to be all that any man
could do, have not been successful be-
cause parties interested have induced
the Indians to stay. If the Indian bu-
reau urges the matter upon congress
some action may be taken. This will
