THE VACANCIES.

There are eight congressional vacan-
cieS to be filled next Tuesday-an un.
usual number for a body that has not
yet convened. Most of them are due to
the death of those elected. Two in New
DIRK city are caused by resignation.
MIR. FLOWER resigned at once on being
nominated for governor Four OF the
vacancies are in New York. and one each
in Tennessee, Michigan. Virginia and
South Dakota. Five of the eight were
held by Democrats, and there will be
no change in the politics of at least four
Of the districts. The Fifth Michi-
gan is usually Republican, but sent
Democrat in the reform slide
last year. The Republicans are making
strong effort to recover it. and the
vote will be quite significant, as indi-
eating the direction of the popular mind
on national issues. The Democrats
have some hope of a gain in the TWEEN
ty-Second district of New York. They
are making good fight in South Da-
kota, and causing the Republicans
trouble, whether they are in danger of
being beaten or not 1t would be bet
ter that all the members of congress
were elected this year. instead Of tllr-
teen months before they first convene.
The popular disposition may materi-
ally change IN a year, and the con-
gress might be adjusted to phases that
have disappeared. A month is now
sufficient time between the election and
The sitting OF congress. Before the rail-
road and telegraph era it was different.

MANKATO IS CROWDED
With Delegates to the Christian
Endeayor Convention.

With Delegates to the Christian
Endeayor Convention.
MANKATo, Oct. 3O-Every train to-
day has brought in delegations from all
portions Of the state to attend the Chris
tian Endeavor convention, whiehopened
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon at the
opera house. Minneapolis and st. Paul
are especially well represented, while
scarcely town of Importance is unrep-
resented. The delegates are full of en-
thusiasm in the cause which their
Christian order champions. This
is only the third yearly meeting,
but the success of last years session
gave the association a great step for
ward, and the good seed then sown Is
now manifesting itself in the favorable
reports brought from every section.
The originator of the organization, DR..
Clark, is present at this meeting. The
presence of this benevolent man, whose
ripe years record life we'll spent in
the interest of unfortunate humanity,
lnStillS renewed energy and good reSo-
lutionS into the breasts of all the mem
bers, and the fact of his attendance has
doubtless increased the number of dele
gates present. The musical portion of
the programme has been well prepared,
and will not be the least interesting
part. One of the most attractive feat
ureS of this will be large local chorus.
The reception at the Saulpaugh this
evening was rendered the visitors by
the local union.

THE CONVENTION.

Omaha is not much in the contest for
the location Of the Republican national
convention beyond the point where the
pocket becomes d factor rather than the
mouth. 1t is an enterprising and am
bilious city, but lost something of its
earlier gait the past few years, and the
opportunity is favorable for picturing
its actual and possible naturalization
in an inexpensive and useful way. This
has been somewhat industriously i'm
proved. but no real expectation of OBJ
tanning the fancied prize has been had.
Its facilities for handling such gather
ing are so inadequate that it would be of
doubtful advantage to obtain it. Min
neapolis. or the Twin Cities, has the
only sufficient facilities for such an oc-
easion west of Chicago. Whatever the
event, there should be no remlSSness in
presenting the material facts. The ma
tioDal conventions have frequently been
held in localities that were much less
able 20 care for crowd. The data
should be made so complete and ex-
plicit that no objection as regards ac-
commodations and facilities should be
allowed to have any place. If the en-
joyment and comfort of those who attend
such gatherings were prevailing consid-
erationS, there could be no successful
competition to the future Twin City, for
st. Paul is doing good work in the
matter, to the surprise of the superb
cial observers abroad. There will be
no lack of applicants. although few of
them are doing much visible work. Po-
litieal considerations afford the weak
point for Minneapolis. This state has
been too reliably Republican in the ma
tional contests, and it is difficult for the
Republicans to 90 before the commit
tee and insist that it is now so doubtful
as to need the inspiration of the conveu-
ton. Chicago, Indianapolis and Gin
cinnati are in larger states, that are
conceded to be uncertain and which
the Republicans must carry. The fact
that there are so many doubtful states.
and the difficulty of selecting between
them, may help Minneapolis.

A TOWN KNOCKED OUT
Found to Be Within a Reserva-
ton After Having Been Settled.

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 30.-The peo-
pie OF Harrison, situated on the Cmur
d'Aiene lake, are in state of great ex-
element over the discovery that the
town of Harrison, which was thought to
have been located onthe recently opened
public lands there, is still on the Indian
reservation. Harrison was settled a
couple of years ago by spectators and
others. who thought the town would be
included in lands then about to be
opened. The town was built on
promontory jutting out into the lake,
and is a desirable place for summer
resort. Many valuable buildings have
been erected. A survey recently com.
pleted, however, excluded Harrison
from the public lands and placed it in
the reservation.
1t was at first thought that mistake
had been made in the survey, but a let
ter which was received to-day from
Thomas Carter, at Washington, states
that no error has been made in the sur
vey. and that the only remedy left the
citizens of Harrison is special enact
ment of congress. The Indians have
offered to cede the few miles of land on
which Harrison is located for cash
consideration. Many citizens favor ac-
cepting that proposition and buying the
land in preference to waiting for con-
gressional legislation.

RUSSIAN BaRBARIsM.

ALI civilized lands have an interest in
the treatment of the suffering in Russia
not due to ordinary considerations of
humanity. Pestilence follows in the
wake of starvation. The Muscovite en-
pire is the nursery of the bacteria, ba-
cilli. and most other germs that. after
luxuriating on the elements there, go out
to ravage and carry disaster about the
more reputable lands. The grippe came
from Russia few years ago, and has
since been roaming about making trouble
for decent people. At present it affords
indications of starting on a fresh
tour. 1t is very virulent in Austrian
Poland, one city having over 1000 cases.
When and where it will cease its malig-
nant work, cannot be guessed. 1t is due
to the miserable tyranny of the govern
ment and semi-barbarous life of the
Russian masses. The failure of crops
and famine are attributable to the sti-
fling OF the tendencies toward improve
ment and progress by the retrogressive
rule. The agricultural methods are as
crude and haphaZard as ignorance and
stolidity can make them. In no other
land on earth claSsed as civilized is life
as short as in Russia. The lives of
the larger classes are hard, and so
poverty stricken that all kinds of dis
eases have easy and uninterrupted
work. If there are millions there now
who are likely to Starve or hover on the
verge of starvation. new pestilences will
be engendered, to devastate vast dis
tricts there and spread to other regions.
1t Will continue the breeding-ground for
epidemics until the people begin to rise
i'll the scale of refinement and ciyiliza-
ton by the existence of a government
that will afford them some chance to
live like human beings.

THE TARIFF AND PRICES.

One can never tell on what ground
the Republican press will defend pro-
iectionism. Sometimes it will claim
that it makes everything higher in price,
and SO increases the fund out of which
labor is paid and the dignity of Amer
lean labor. When it is proved that
labor itself is a commodity, and that
wages are regulated, not by the figure
at which other commodities are selling
i'll the market, but by the relation be-
tween the number of laborers seeking
work and the amount of work to be
done, then the enemy shifts its ground
and declares that the higher the tariff
on thing the lower its price. Some
times in the same column Our local ad-
vocates Of this great delusion will prove
to- their own satisfaction both Of these
propositions.
The GLOBES position is that tariff
Increases the price of commodities. In
some cases it does this in a Slight de-
gree, and in other cases in a greater
one. In either event'it adds to the bur-
den of the poor, whose compensation is
unaffected by the tax. Figures taken
from bankrupt sales often appear to be
at variance with this view; and even
those who suffer by the situation cease
to realize their condition because they
adapt their methods of living to new
charges, and by economies in one direc-
ton meet additional OUTLAWS in others.
But the truth is here none the less. This
question has been loudly debated in
Massachusetts, during the present cam
paign, and at recent speech at Law
renee Gov. RUSSELL read these facts
from statement prepared for him by
the proprietors of large retail store in
Boston:
Gloves cost at retail from 25 to 50 cents a
pair now more than they did before the Nc
kINLEY law was enacted.
Common lace curtains that cost 37l2 cents
pair now cost 45 cents. Those that cost g
now cost 81 10.
Plush garments that cost S2) now cost SIS
Pearl buttons have advanced from 50 to
S14 gross. Shirt buttons are S1I7 dozen
instead of rs cents.

RATE wAR IN THE AIR.
The 500 Likely to Make Competing
Roads Hustle


Roads Hustle.
General Passenger Agent Hubbard, Of
the $500" is expected to return from
Chicago tonight. Just what his plan
of action will be, in taking steps to pun
ish the offending lines, which, he claims,
have been paying large commissions to
several roads, running from ST. Paul.
on east-bound business, is, as yet, a
conjecture. He has not been able, SO
far, to prove the charges against the
other roads. There kas been some talkot
q repetition of the rate war of two wears
ago, when the Burlington Jumped OH
the 500 for daring to enjoy the differ
entail granted by the association. The
Burlington thought the 500 was not en-
titled to it, so war began. Other roads
became involved at first but laid down
at the quarter. Cutting continued at q
lively rate until the 500 dropped way
down to SIG. This staggered the Bur
HngtOn so much that Kenyon gasped
Sl9 and quit. Last year the 500 cut the
rate to $3.50, and the other lines quickly
discontinued at $50. This year the east
bound passenger business will not be so
feeble, as the traffic, it is expected. will
be very large. The 500 has the advan-
tage oyer other roads in rate-cutting
through the Canadian Pacific. The
roads east of Chicago do not take kindly
to this sort of thing, and positively re-
fused to aid the Burlington beyond a
certain figure two years ago,
