BURNED.
Sam Browns House Utterly De-
stroyed.

A FIRE occurred yesterday afternoon at
the sorner of Dillon and Sixteenth street.
The house belonged to Sam Brown, one
of Bresuahen & Smiths butchers. and
was a complete loss. Very little furni
ture was saved as the smoke was SO dense
that the iremen could not work. The
fire probably started from the stove in
the kitchen. Mrs. Brown was preparing
supper and stepped out to a neiRhbor's
leaving a large fire in the stove. When
she returned the house was in flames.
The house and furniture was covered with
81, 800 insurance which will not meet the
loss.

1T HAS WORKED WE'LL.

In his letter to the Bankers Conyen
tion at New Orleans, Secretary Fos-
ter says that the new silver law is
working very satisfactorily. The de-
sign Of the law was to do away with
the compulsory coinage Of short dol
lars; to increase our circulation; to
furnish market for our silver pro-
duct and to hep toward the eventual
adoption OF the bimetalic system OF
coinage by all the world
The first objects have been accom-
plished, while time only can bring
about the last. 1t has put dollars
worth Of silver back Of every treasury
note issued, and put an end to the
disgrace Of coming 70 cent dollar.
Another matter has also been brought
to the attention Of the public, and
that is that last spring and the fore
part of cnA summer, when gold was
shipped out of the country, to the
extent of S70,000,0OO, the increase Of
our currency through the new silver
law prevented that scarcity of money
which might otherwise have cramped
the financial affairs of the country.
Taken as a whole the law has been
a success, proving a benefit to the
country whereas if the scheme of the
free coinage people had been carried
into effect, it would have flooded the
country with cheap money and ruin
ed our financial standing.

With the exceptionsef Brazil these
appr opriations are already made. The
Pres ident of Brazil has asked his Con-
gress for S550,000, and is certain to
receive it, while Brazilian States will
swell the aggregate to one million at
least, and may increase it.
Here are greater appropriations
from the countries named than have
yet been made by the several States
Of this country combined, and among
our States Minnesota ranks one Of the
least. Minnesota, with the exhibi-
tion at our very doors, is put to shame
by petty South American republics.
Our Legislature could appropriate
$3.50, ,00Q, for political experiment at
the Saltwater penitentiary and only
$4,000 for an exhibit which, if proper
ly supple with funds, would result
in adding millions to the material
wealth and taxable property of the
State.
The demagogues in the last Legisla-
ture who defeated proper appropria
tion must feel proud of their work in
view of the developments of the cur
rent year.-jSt. Paul Ne,cS

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

As the days go by and the first of
December draws nearer, the contest
among the leading Democrats of the
house. for the speakership grows
warmer. Among the leaders of that
party who would like the prize, are
Mills, of Texas, Crisp, of Georgia,
Hatch, of Missouri. McMillin Of Ten
nessee and Springer of Illinois. The
position which he has occupied as a
leader of his party in the house for
several years back, gives Mr.. Mills
the best claim to the position, and
were it to be decided simply on the
merits of the revenue question, he
would probably lead without any
trouble. But the silver question
seems to play an important figure in
the contest. After the election last
fall it was the general opinion that
Mr.. Mills would be the next speaker.
But the Texas statesman had pro-
nounced himself very forciblya as free
coinage man, and the eastern Demo
Gratis. who believe in sound money
system, did not take kindly to his
candidacy, Consequently during the
past few months he has been hedging
upon the silver question.
The latest rumor in regard to this
contest is, that some time ago Mr..
Cleveland, Mr.. Mills and the New
York Times entered into compact in
which Mr.. Mills, for the speakership,
promised to appoint committee on
coinage weights and measures, known
to be opposed to free and unlimited
coinage, and that the editor of the
Times named five men to be appointed
npon the committee, known to be op-
posed to free silver. That upon Mr..
Mills agreeing to this, the Times,
which had previously opposed him.
became warm supporter of his
claims. Whether there is any truth
in it or not, time will reveal.
OF course this runor has stirred up
the free silver men, and BODIES no good
to either Mills or Cleveland. It is ey-
ident that the free silver advocates
intend to force their views upon the
house at the coming session, and pass
a free coinage bill, but that is as far
as the matter will probably go, as it
is doubtful whether they will be able
to command majority in the senate
this year. But should they be able to
secure its passage.through both houses
it would meet with an obstacle at the
White House,
Ii the free coinage men are able to |
name the next speaker, and they
probably are, they will make their
hobby one CT the important questions
before the coming session of congress,
and dislike it as they may, it is diff |
cult to see how the Democratic lead |
ers can keep it from cutting an i'm
portant figure next year.

A CONTRAST.

While Minnesota is haggling in a
penny wise fashion over paltry $780,
900 appropriation for the Worlds fair
it is interesting to note what some of
the South American republics and
Mexico are doing. We are won't to
look upon those countries as far below
us in the standard of intelligence and
civilization, but when it comes to
Worlds fair matters they seem to
surpass US in both respects.
Here are the figures:

THE business report for last week
shows a greater volume OF trade in
many lines than ever before at this
season Of the year. Dull times were
not reported from any section of the
country. The wheat receipts have
been large, with an active foreign de-
mand, so that the market has remain
ed strong. All jobbing and manufac-
turing centers report a good trade.
In the southwest the grain and live
stock movements continue heavy,
while at Chicago the wheat receipts
were three times as large as for the
same period last year. The demand
for manufactured products has not
been in proportion to the large crops
and good prices, but r. G. Dunn &
Co. venture the opinion that this is
because large amount Of money re-
ceiyed for grain is being applied to
the payment of mortgages, and all
reports seem to bear out this opinion.

THE Hutchinson Leader says:

This great state of Minnesota can
well afford to give 500, 900 or more, if
needed, to secure a creditable repre-
sentation at the Worlds Fair. AS a
state it is almost glutted with wealth
and prosperity, yet when the nations
of the earth want to come together
and exhibit the marvellous arts and
advancement Of this glorious century
Minnesota stands back with her hands
in her pockets and gr6wls, ''we can't
afford it."

Virginia and tho Exposition.

The people Of Smyth county have held
o public meeting and passed resolutions
expressing their conviction that the State
of Virginia ought to be well represented at
Che Chicago FAIR. They, however, seem
30 entertain doubts whether the General
Assembly will make an appropriation for
chs purpose, and to provide against such
q contingency they have appointed seven
delegates TO attend convention to be
held at Pulaski on June 4th to take counsel
IN the premises.
The undertaking is not merely to collect
and forward TO Chicago an exhibit of the
products and resources of the southwest
ern counties, but is State affair. The
committee who have the matter in charge
say I'VE desire that any county in the
State, any land or improvement company,
or any individual, and especially the COM
missioners heretofore appointed by the
Governor, will cooperate with US. and we
request that the whole State in all of her
diversified interests will be represented at
Pulaski, if possible, on the 4th of june"
This is commendable move. Virginia
ought TO appear creditably at the Fair. The
best way to do it is for the General Assem-
bly, 10 make au appropriation for State
exhibit, which may be easily supplemented
by county, city, and individual exhibits.
The money will be voted if the farmers
ask it; otherwise not.
The Pulaski convention will no doubt
discuss and set forth al these points.
The Richmond Chamber of Commerce
should be represented at the convention.
She invitation of the committee includes
oil such bodies.

"a small DOMESTIC Tyrant.r

ANNA DIcKINsos's lecture at the Broad
way Theatre, New York, Sunday night,
was intended to prove to the world that

some truths about the Republican leaders.
II seems that they have not yet paid her

which the following was the conclusion:
"Much to my surprise and embarrassment the

On hand candidate or two for the Office
of President of the United States AT
present she can boast OF an unusually large
number Of aspirants--we do not say candi-
dates. Mr.. SHERMAN IS of course one OF
them, a. he has been for many years past.
Governor FoRAxER, the fussy" mischief
maker, considers himself a prominent as
pirant, bat we do not suppose that there
are many persons in Ohio or elsewhere
who are Of the same opinion. Then
come Mckinney and CAMPBELL,
live candidates or sspiraDts, repre-
senting both the great parties. These
two gentlemen will meet their fate at the
election of November next If MCKINLEY
then defeats CAMPBELL for Governor OF
Ohio. the former will at once become a
powerful opponent inside the Republican
party OF all the many gentlemen OF the
party who have their eyes upon the White
House. On the other hand, If CAMPBELL
shall defeat McKNLEY for Governor OF
Ohio next fall then CAMPBELL will loom up
ct once as presidential possibility. 1t is
In the cards for either Of them TO win the
game. They are, by the way, gentlemen OF
the highest tone.
1t is said that the Republican leaders
have among themselves so many good
party leaders that the presidency is likely
to fall into the hands Of their party. Mr..
CLARKsos is reputed 10 be one Of these
great organizers. The Democrats make
similar claim ON behalf of their party
leaders. But do not these boosters labor
under a mistaken notion as TO what will
constitute the real strength OF each OF the
great parties in the approaching presi-
dental campaign? Is there any man, for
instance. in the Democratic party so popu-
lar that he can be nominated and elected
President upon the strength Of the
Democratic organization. rather than
upon the strength of the Democratic
PLATFORM Can we afford TO risk oil our
eggs in one basket? Or, shall we not stand
by the principles of the Jefersonian De-
mocracy as these have come down to us
from the fathers of the republic? We
warn all good Democrats against the I'M
wisdom Of supposing that any Democrat,
however able or distinguished, is stronger
than his party in the presence OF such ls-
sues as will inevitably be presented next
gear for the voters of this country to
divide on and decide. And we will add,
sn order to prevent Misrepresentation, that
this warning applies to Hull, CLEVELAND,
CAMPBELL, and all the other men who are
supposed to be possible nominees of the
next Democratic National Convention.
