At the Grave.

At st. Louis OH Saturday the day was
bright, but the streets were muddy. BusI-
ness in the city was suspended. 1t was esti-
mated that there were 100000 veterans in the
city. The funeral crossed the bridge at half
past eight in the morning.
The caisson which conveyed the remains
to the cemetery was drawn By six bay horses.

enth."
An open barouche was loaded with floral
tributes brought from New York and con-
tributed along the way.
While there was no disorder in the streets
the jam of people coming in from vario Us
intersecting streets with the procession was
something terrific. People were swept along
by this human tidal wave unil they were
brought to standstill by the crowds that
already had possession of each inch of stand
ing room.
The services at the grave were of military
character, tine only exception being the read
ing of few passages of scripture and the
making of prayer by Rev. Thomas Ewing
Sherman, son of the deceased general. A
military salute was fired at the grave, after
which the vast throng solemly dispersed.

Trade ROHleW.

NEW YORK. February A.-R. g. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The failure of the American Loan and
Trust company has caused some disturb
ance, but the event has no widespread infu-
ence. The tone of reports from other cities
is generally favorable.
Trade is of good volume in spite of bad
weather at st. Louis and fairly healthy at
Kansas City. st. Paul and Minneapolis
have active trade, though in -four output
there is the usual decrease for the season.
At Omaha trade is fair but collections rather
slow; at Milwaukee it is improving. Chi
cago notes large increase in wheat move
ment. but heavy decrease in dressed beef,
lard, hides and wool: sales considerably
above last years in dry goods, clothing and
boots and shoes and satisfactory collections.
The tributary region is cOsidered healthy,
confidence strong and money plenty among
dealers.
At Cleveland and Pittsburg some improve
ment in iron is noticed, the latter reporting
finished iron In good demand and blooms
stronger, the coke strike having some infiu-
ence.
Tie decline of silver below 81 per ounce.
at one time 9716 cents, discourages those
who were looking for a speculative boom IN
prices. Wheat is 1 cent lower, with sales of
100000 bushels, cotton a quarter lower,
with sales of 677. 600 bales, and oil 3$s cents
lower. Corn and oats have advanced u
cent each, and hogs shade. The exports of
cotton continue above last years as well as
the receipts, but wheat and flour exports fall
far behind and the movement in provisions
shows little increase. In January the ex-
ports of cotton, breadstuffs, provisions, cat
tie and oil were SOL ,549, 5S3 in value, against
$50, 375, 7A last year, which points to heavy
excess of exports over imports for that
month, but the later advance in sterling ex-
change and the moderate outgo of gold indi-
cate that the merchandise balance is out
weighed at present by the return of securi-
ties or the withdrawal of other capital previ-
ously invested here.
To this movement probably the laws passed
or pending in some western states contribute,
thus the Kansas house has passed bill to
tax all mortgages, notes and bonds, making
them not cOllectable unless stamped by as
SCISSORS. This and other measures cause
much calling Of loans and removal of capital.
e. There is a stronger tone in the iron mar
ket. The coal market is depressed by the
enormous output, thus far 984, 007 tons, or
nearly 30 per cent. greater than last years,
and tin and lead are both weaker.
During the past week the treasury has
taken in all together about $500, 600 more
than it has paid out. The outgo of currency
to the interior appears to have begun, how
ever, notwithstanding the fact that at almost
every other city the money market is easy or
growing easier, and scarcely one now reports
the market close.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der 295 as compared with total of 291 last
week. For the corresponding week last year
the figures were 81.

The Decision of Judges Phillips and Fos4
ter Set Aside.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, February 21.-Last
summer Judges Phillips and Foster, holding
the circuit court of the United States at
Topeka, Kan, enjoined tine state authorities
of Kansas from prosecuting criminally per-
sons charged with violations of the liquor
law of that state. The case afterwards came
before Judge Caldwell, in this city, on final
hearing and he has just filed an opinion sus-
tanning a demurrer to the bills and has dis
solved the injunction before granted In the
cases.
He holds that the circuit court of the United
States has no right to grant the injunction,
the following being his reasons for making
such rule: Because the plaintiffs have an in
adequate remedy at law; second, because a
court of equity has no jurisdiction to enioin
or otherwise Interfere with criminal prose-
cutions in courts of law; third, because an
act of congress expressly prohibits courts of
the United States from enjoIning proceed
ings in the state courts, except in cases OF
bankruDtcy

Floods in the Ohio Valley.

CINCINNATI, February 25.-The outlook for
the OHIO river food grows worse. In addi-
ton to the rise at Pittsburg, the weather
map shows that there is an almost certainty
of additional rain in the Ohio valley.
Here the river continues to rise about an
inch an hour. At 10 O'Clock it stood IS feet
7inches. It is rising at Portsmouth at some
thing less than an inch an hour. There is
some hope in the fact that it is falling rapidly
at Wheeling and Parkersburg, and also that
the head waters of the Great Kanawha are
falling.

TOPEKA, Tfirty-fourth Day In Session
The senate judiciary committee has good
many
MORTGAGES BILLS
in hand. The committee has adopted as
basis Of their action the house judiciary
committees bill, which has passed the house,
receiving the vote of every member who
voted. It has no application to existing
mortgages, but the senate COMMITTEES has
amended It In such way as to make it apply
to present as we'll as future contracts
The bill proposes on the one hand to do
away, as a general thing, with the burden
some and useless trouble and expense of the
present method of foreclosing mortgages;
and, on the other hand, to secure the right
of redemption for the debtor. 1t authorizes
the making of a mortgage containing
power of salehuthorizing the sheriff to adver-
tise and sell the property without the neces-
sity of law suit. 1t contains full provisions
for the protection of the debtor against q
sale wrongfully made. 1t also contains am
pie provisions for junior creditors, if there
be any, and limits the cost of foreclosure
to $40
TEE LAWRENCE BONDS.
The attorney general submitted his opin-
ion to the house In the matter of the alleged
fraudulent transfer of the Lawrence school
fund bonds to the university fund. He says
that the legislature of 1876 was party to the
fraud, and that the deficiency in the school
fund must be made up by the state. The
bonds transferred amount to 500, 900, and
draw interest at the rate of per cent.
TEACHERS LIFE CERTIFICATES.
Lupfer's bill authorizing the issuing of
life certificates to teach in public schools by
institutions chartered by the state, was re-
ported favorably. The person receiving
such certificate must have completed q course
Of study of the state normal.
ASSESSMENT OF RAILROADS.
The bill to compel assessors to assess all
railroad property at its full value has been
favorably reported by the committee ON rail-
roads.
RAILROAD TAXES IN school. DISTRICTS.
A bill to distribute railroad taxes proper
tionately to all school districts of q county
where bonds have been voted by the county
for the construction of the road, has been
favorably reported by the committee on edu-
cation. But the judiciary report against the
same principle on the ground that court
decisions show it to be contrary to the con-
stitution to take of tax levied and collected
In one district and give it to another district.
THE JURY LAW.
House bill 294 provides for a majority yer.
dict by juries. The house judiciary COM
mittee thinks that the proposed amendment
to the law is a good one, but that it cannot
be made while the constitution reads as it
does now.
THE NEW NORMAL
The committee sent to Wichita to look after
the proposition there made to give Paramount
college to the state for a second normal
school, report the building good and a suit
able one, very favorably located.

JAMES e. CAMPBELL.

L If any one wants to witness noble
spectacle, let him fix his eye on Ohio.
" as there ever a grander battle than
the one which JAMES E. CAMPBELL is
waging? Two years ago he was elected
governor of that great commonwealth
because good men cried shame to the
campaign of villification which the
enemy conducted against him. To-day
he leads his party's ticket again because
his record in Office is clean and honor
able one. Scarce had the palm of leader
shin been thus awarded him when
sickness laid Its heavy hand upon his
frame. At the hour or greatest need,
while his friends and supporters waited
for his counsel and direction. he lay a
prisoner III his bed chamber, fast bound
by feyer's iron chains. Ere he had freed
his hands from the shackles OF disease
month of precious time was wasted
Since then he has ridden at the front
of the line, the fearless champion of the
highest cause. Twice day his voice
has been heard and is being heard, lifted
in words of clear and persuasive elo-
quence for the enlightenment of the
people. Fiery read his sentences as
they came over the wires, and boundess
is the enthusiasm OF his audiences, the
reports agree in saying. He talks of
tariff reform, and scourges with the lash
OF argument and invective the foes of
liberty who use the name of patriotism
as cloak for conspiring against the
happiness of the poor, and who under
the guise of protecting our native in
duStrieS are striving to enrich the few
at the expense of the many. AS the

a DAKOTA DANGER.

The divorce business IN South Dakota
takes on large proportions, as seen by
distant eyes. A prominent Eastern
paper at hand speaks OF it as "a reign
of divorce such as, perhaps, the world
never saw before" Sioux Falls as the
center is reported as rapidly booming
ahead under the influence of the capital
brought thither by the divorce colony"
Lawyers and ministers are sharing the
boom, 1.-THE former in parting and the
latter i'll remarrying the divorced to
mates already On the ground" The
view taken is that this business orig
inally belonged to Newport, R. L.. but
was captured by Chicago just before the
war, and now has been taken in by the
thrifty Dakota metropolis. The an
cient Rhode Island town has re-
solved, as the East furnishes the
bulk of the business, to take
the prize from Sioux Falls. 1t is an
nounced that the divorce laws of that
state are really easier than those of Da-
kota, with the single exception of the
years residence. The legislature will
be asked to meet the Western situation
on that point. In Rhode Island 1t is in
vltingly said that enterprising ladies do
not consider themselves entitled to
social recognition if they have less than
three eX-husbands. Cases are cited of
recent occurrence where ladies have
been given the Rhode Island divorce
simply because nicer and handsomer
fellows were ready to marry them. The
past week as high as eight divorces in a
single day have been had at Newport.
The Dakota industry is evidently in

A LITTLE POLITICS.

morning paper yesterday referred to
Congressman j. n. Castle as being opposed
to Mr.. Mills for speaker of the next house.
A GLOBE reporter called on Mr.. Castle, who
said that he was very much surprised at the
article inasmuch as he did not remember of
ever being interviewed by any one in regard
to the speakership matter. Both Messrs.
Mills and Crisp are warm personal friends of
mine, said Mr.. Castle, land l believe either
one eminently qualified for the speakership.
do not remember, however, of saying that
| preferred Mr.. Crisp for speaker Mr.. Castle
said that he was not prepared TO state whom
he would vote for at present, but could not
say that he would not vote for Mr.. Mills.
There was a sprinkling OF Democratic
politicians around the Nicollet house yester
day. Among them were Joseph Roach, of
Northfeld; ii. c. Bull, OF Cokato; H. c.
Stivers of Brainerd, and Representative
Cantliff, of Dakota county. They had not
come down on anything but private business
They said that they had prepared TO come to
Minneapolis TO attend the meeting of the ex-
ecutive of the North Star club and when
that meeting was postponed they decided to
come on to the city anyhow to transact some
private matters. They were all enthusiastic
over the growing chances of the Democracy
of Minnesota. They reported that nothing
but Democracy could be heard in their re-
spective sections. All of them will be in
Minneapolis the 9th of this month, when
that executive committee viii meet. Then
the Democrats of Minneapolis viii have a
big meeting in Harmoma hall. Among the
speakers at that time will be o. NJ. Hall, j. n
Castle. j. n. Harries and, in all probability
Congressman Wilson. of West Virginia 1t IS
expected to make it one OF the biggest meet
ings ever seen in Minneapolis outside of a

A GOOD CANDIDATE.

The figures Of former elections in
South Dakota do not afford basis for en-
tire confidence in the success of the
Democrats in electing their candidate
for congress nominated the past week.
Last year the Democrats and Independ-
ents, had little less than 5000 more
votes than the Republicans, ard the
Democrats were the third party by some
1000 votes. The two minority parties
would have a pretty safe margin to-
gether. But separate they lose their
votes. Perhaps there is change for
the better, as the Sioux Falls Press, the
leading Republican organ, says its party
has no time to waste" if it is to sue
coed. The Democrats seem to have
been extremely fortunate in the selec-
ton of candidate, both in the man and
location. j. NJ. WoOD, of Rapid City, the
nominee, is one of the great stockmen
of the Black Hills, and is popular with
all parties in the Hills. He carried his
own city for mayor last year over sew
eral hundred Republican majority, and
may have the bulk Of the vote in the
Hills, as that section failed to get the
man in either of the other parties.
MOODY is understood to have manipu-
lated things to keep any Hills man from
the Republican nomination, to have
his way clear back to the SEN
ate. The voters in that section may
not care to be made his pup
pets, and show this in big vote for
WooD. The latter stated to one of the
conventions that he did not want to run
with three candidates in the field. AS
the choice of the Independents is unsat-
isfactory, it is possible that much of
that vote will go to WOOD.

A SAMPLE OF TT

The Brltton tin plate mills. at Cleve-
land, o., have been among the most
noisy and productive in the tintinnabu-
lation of the MCKINLEY press. The
hum of this great and swelling industry
has pervaded Ohio and gone over the
borders. Meeting the suggestive melo-
dies coming from multitude of similar
establishments, the political atmosphere
has been resonant with the reverbera-
tions, as itwere. No one of these indus
trial enterprises has turned out more
American tin than this Cleveland one.
As the local Republican paper neglect
ed to write it up. the Plain Dealer, in
the early October, sent its reporter, who
found only 10Xl2 hole in the ground
growing up oweeds. Ifthere had been
tin mill there, it had disappeared.
That is a sample of tine new industry
