H July board OF Trade journal,
printed at London for her majesty's
stationery office, says the Boston Ira
weller, contains something that will
not be very comforting to the opponents
of the Mckinley bill. It is the report
OF the British consul general at New
York, Mr.. W. L. Booker, which frankly
admits that, under the influence of the
new tariff, American manufacturing in
terests are greatly improving. "New
life" he says, "has been impaired to the
cotton, WOODEN, worsted and knit under
wear industries. Everywhere, especially
in the southern states, new textile mills
have been going up with surprising acti-
witty and all the old corporations have
been operated on full time. There have
been very few strikes among mill opera
tors during the year, with one or two OK
c%eptions, and those were not caused
by reduced rates of wages or hours of
labor, but merely through discipline of
the workers. AS a rule, all the cotton
mills have had a year Of unusual activ-
ity. The production, MI. Booker further
writes, has been OF a charger volume
than in any previous year, and the goods
have found a ready sale generally, but at
comparatively low prices, considering the
high prices which prevailed during the
first six months for cotton" Printed
cloths and c~alicoes are not dong so we'll;
"yet, as a WHOLE" the consul-general
says, "the outlook for the cotton indus
try is exceedingly favorable. There are
no large supplies of any make
OF goods in stock, and prices gen.
orally are established on a paying
basis" So much for cotton goods; but
what about worsted goods? "The wor-
sted goods industry" the report goes
on to say, 'has been marked by fresh
life since the new tariff has to a great
extent cut off the importation of the
lowest grades of such goods. All the
old factories have started up, and are
making goods on safe orders; and new
mills are being erected by European and
British capitalists with a view to manu-
featuring a finer class of dress goods,
etc., than ever before has been produced
in this country. The woollen goods in
dustry, apart from ladies' cloths, does
not show any perceptible signs of i'm
provement, but keeps on a slow, steady
gait, apart from carpetings and woollen
underwear. Both of the latter indus
tries have been unusually busy during
the last six months at fairly profitable
prices" Such, then, is the testimony of
the consul general as to the benifcent
operations of the Mckinley bill, and we
again remark that it is not very comfort
ing to the opponents of the new tariff.
Dealing as it does with solid facts, it
will be very difficult forIthem to counter
act the influence of it, and doubtless
some of them will wish that her majes-
TVS government could see it's way clear
to the recall of Mr.. Booker and the SUBJ
stitution of a gentleman in his place
who would not be quite so observant,
or at least not quite so provokinely
frank,

ness. If a paper takes a democratic view
of an issue, why not discuss it from a
democratic standpoint? 1t would create
a much more favorable impression among
its readers than to play the hypocrite
and stab in the dark. The tariff should
be argued on it's merits, not through
snap judgment and lying articles.

The question of allowing the Japanese
to worship idols at the Minneapolis ex-
position, is just now being discussed by
the management of that enterprise. The
objection is that the moral effect would
be bad and that it is not in accordance
with religious principles to c~ountenance
such exhibitions. Surely in this en-
lightened christian era, the sight of the
poor deluded Japs worshiping a craven
image can have no effect on a civilized
people except to awaken their sympa-
thies and enlist their efforts in behalf of
the idol worshipers.

HE crop bulletin issued from the
weather bureau at Washington gives
very encouraging results in most parts OF
the states. Through the western part OF
the middle states there has been a defic.
iency of warm rains which has damaged
small vegetation and corn slightly. The
Atlantic and southern regions have had
too many showers but crops promise
we'll. The Pacific coast was slightly
damaged by early frosts but the crop
will be up to the average. In Minnesota.
Iowa and Kansas the crops are some,
what late but the field will be good. For
the Oakotas it says: "Conditions are ia
vorable to harvesting of grain which is
practically completed in southeast coun-
ties and proportionately advanced north.
ward. The yield is abundant. Since
the issuing of this bulletin the condi-
tions have remained unchanged. The
principal corn and spring-wheat states
received less than the usual amount of
rain during the week, although well-dis-
tributed showers are reported from these
sections. These sections also received
less rain than usual during the month of
July, except in Kansas and western Ne
braska, where the rainfall for the month
was excessive. There was also more
than the usual amount of rain during the
month OF July over the greater portion
OF the southern and middle Atlantic
states, except in Louisiana, Florida, and
the greater portion of Texas, where the
monthly rainfall was deficient"

HE victory that made glad a nation;
set free the slaves and united this grand
body of states twenty-six years ago is &C.
cupylng the minds of those who fought
out it's achievement, and who are nov
gathered in n great body at Detroit,
Mich. They are glad and they are sad.
Both causes tears to flow as reflections
of other years in Dixie's land come back,
and bring to mind the comrades who
have served their enlistment and been
mustered out to a greater army and a
greater land. Lincoln, Grant, Garfield,
Sherman, all occupy their mind. They
obeyed their call and fought to their or
ders. They died as they lived-heroes.
But the survivors meet not to discuss the
situation of the day. They clasp the
hand of some one whose face is familiar,
SOM n who has climbed Missionary
Ridge or marched in the Wilderness, and
it is sad to note the strong will of those
men-men who could face death-melt
at the sight of some crippled comrade,
whose deeds are recalled. In an able ed
itorial the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"They are not thinking of self or selfish
interests. Their minds are dwelling on
the old times, on the incidents of an in
tenser life, IN the friendships then
formed, on the comrades they hope to
meet; they are thinking of the more
than Comrades gone, of the old com.
manders about whom they rallied in the
fierce heat of f~iercest battle, of the old
commanders who have fallen by the way.
With ch'reuniont the pathos of the sit
uation increases, because of the pitiful-
ness of men aging into decrepitude, the
tender sadness of hearts aching over
losses not like the loss of wife or chill
dren or friends, aching over the alb
sence Of those whose friendship
has been fragrant and precious for a
quarter of a. century, the loneliness of
men who miss at roll call three-fourths
of those who stood by them in great

THE PRISON PENALTY.

The Illinois legislature, among its
final acts, aimed its artillery at the trust
business. The measure adopted is a
good deal more pungent and compre-
henSiYe than the law some may remem-
Der Senator SHERMAN had adopted in
congress. The latter presented small
annoyance to the operations of the
trusts. The Illinois act renders void all
contracts in violation of it, and the vio-
lators of its provisions cannot collect any
debts incurred in such violation. The
penalties are from $500 to $4,000 for the
first offense, and afterwards rising to
$4,000. 1t is expected that this law will
be vigorously enforced, and considera-
bic results are claimed for it. In one
point, however, it is weak. No impris-
onment is provided. The magnates
that fill their pockets by the trust
methods have small concern about
fines. These are, probably, but a
small per cent of the gains by
violation of the law. But they will
not take apartments in jails or prison
cells without desperate attempts to shun
them. The obese fellows who move in
high business circles and handle big
things have horror of the quletude
and shame OF prison walls. They may
laugh at fines, but there is no merri-
ment for them in Sojourn in a penal
castle. 1t is true they usually avoid
the vulgar association of cheap Grim
inals, and have peculiar privileges and
Injuries; but the restraints are irk-
some, and society kicks the man who IS
down. There are other lines of immoral
and illegal activity that would have
less indulgence if there were more peni-
Tertiary and fewer fines. An English
man who has been doing business IN
this country number of years remarked
yesterday that the efforts to prevent
the adulteration of articles of food
and drink in this country were less
effective than in England, by reason of
the leniency of the penal enactments in
this respect. In the old country there
is no fine for such offenseS. but relent-
less imprisonment, regardless of social
or business distinctions. lie recalled,
in Illustration, the case of the great
brewer and member of parliament who,
few years ago, had the prison doors
opened to him on account of the blunder
of subordinate in taking hogshead
of sugar to the brewery, the law pro-
hibiting the presence of sugar. glucose,
or any aduIterants on the premises. The
matter was brought up in parliament,
and only the establishment of the fact
of the blunder kept him out of Jail.
That penalty is probably more needed
in this country, even if it should IN
volve the erection of more jails and
penitentiarieS.

MACS LATEST.

Last evening two well known Minneapolis
gentlemen were riding to the Mill City on
one of the interurban cars Near the state
house, a Frenchman. slightly inebriated
boarded the motor car. The evening was
warm and after riding q short distance the
prespirIng Frenchman concluded he would
prefer to ride in the trailer, which was an
open car. lie walked from the motor into
the open car, but he had scarcely taken q
seat before the conductor demanded fare
The passenger explained that he had paid
one fare, and emphatically declined paying
another
Then you viii get off," threatened the
conductor
"Nevairer exclaimed the jrate passenger.
The conductor pulled the bell and the car
stopped. The conductor, somewhat dimin-
utive in stature. looked over the obdurate
Frenchman, who was much the larger man,
and, evidently. the more he gazed the more
herculean looked the passenger. A police
man stood near, and the conductor called
him over. and asked him to remove the man.
The Frenchman protested that he had paid
fare to the conductor of the first car. and the
policeman only said:
IF he has paid fare he is entitled to a
ride"
1t was great victory for the Freuchman,
ana he proceeded to celebrate the event by
curing volume of profane epithets at the
little conductor, who was now very demure
and painfully helpless. The two Minneapo-
lis men listened to the stream of profanity
for while, but it became distressing. FL
nally one of them, who happened to be Hon.

cut, reached over and tapped the obstreper-
Gus man on the shoulder.

The Frenchman stared in bewildered way
for moment, and then his face broadened
into hearty smile as the joke dawned upon
him. But the lesson had good effect, for
he swore no more.

that state, and nominated Gov. BoIEs
by reclamation for reelection. on a
sterling and popular platform. He was
elected two years ago, while the rest Of
the ticket was defeated. He has made
an able and strong administration and
given the party increased strength. His
election is almost assured. All the
conditions are favorable for a sweeping
Democratic victory, which will put the
state safely in the Democratic column
for next year. The Republicans will
make desperate effort to recover the
state, but will not succeed.

THE EXPERTS DIFFER.
Peculiar Case of Condemned
Georgia Murderer.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 24.-Will o.
burn hang Friday? That is the ques-
ton which all Atlanta is discussing.
Ozburn is we'll connected young man,
who, in discussion over so cents worth
of potatoes, brutally murdered j. NJ.
Bradley, a grocery man. Ozburn was
then in the brokerage business. He
was tried, convicted and sentenced to
hang. The case was appealed, but the
supreme court refused to interfere, and
on Friday next the hanging is to take
place.
Ozburn's physical condition is terri
bic. He has wasted away to almost
nothing, and the county physician is so
certain that his mental strength is gone
that he has made affidavit to that effect,
and an official examination will be
made. Last ev ening he was visited by
many medical experts. There is with
them a diversity of opinion as to the
mans sanity. He is certainly, however,
a physical wreck, and strong efforts are
being made to induce Gov. Thorn to
delay the execution and prevent the
spectacle of hanging a man who has to
be held up by main force while the
moose is being adjusted. The whole city
is discussing the case.
