Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 5, 1S91.-Rail.
roads in the west have been the most
potent factors in the recent state
elections. They claim they were
forced to this course to save their
lines from practical confscation. 1t
was a fight for existence and the
railroads won. 1t was the roads
rather than the democrats that
elected Boies governor OF Iowa and
changed the complexion OF the rail-
road commission. Even more was
their power felt in Kansas, where the
railroads succeeded in defeating nine
ont; of eleven alliance candidates for
circuit judgeships. Asaconsequence,
Without regard to party, Chicago
officials of Iowa and Kansas lines

elechons in those states.-N. I.

Renville Co. and the p. p.

The following special dispatches
appeared in the various dailies of
he TwinACities of the Goth inst. It
made the Pioneer Press put another
reef in it's jaw:
RENvILLE, Mimi, Dec. 19.-Hon.
lgnatius Donnelly spoke at Bird
.sland today to the largest and
most enthusiastic public gathering
,ver assembled in Renville county.
The hall was simply packed, and
standing room, was at premium.
It was estimated that. there were
500 people in the hall. The weather
vas cold and the roads simply horri-
Die, yet farmers came miles by team
TO hear Donnelly. At the close of
lis speech the Renville County ALI
ance held it's county convention by
,lecting one delegate at large and
one alternate to the State Alliance
convention. They were instructed to
vote for Donnelly for president first,
last and all the time. The Peoples
PARTY platform was endorsed. A
resolution favoring independent &C
zion was adopted, and also the fol-
owing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we are heartily in
sympathy with Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly in his fight with the Pioneer
Press, and we glory in his vindica-
ion as shown by the virdict in his
ate suit, and we heartily pledge our
moral support in his struggle against
Ill such Infamous schemes to dis
honor him.
Minneapolis now has a sensation
IN the introduction of secret trials in
public court rooms. Judge CAVITY
lad divorce suit on hand-John
md Ida Liebenow-and he put every
one out of the room except the two
parties, the two attorneys, a deputy
sheriff and himself, and locked the
loors. This was a gross violation Of
he spirit of the constitution both Of
he United States and the state of
Minnesota. 1t is even in violation of
he letter OF the law. This may be an
Insignificant affair to have lawyers,
-eporters, visitors and clerks hustled
out on Divorce case-but the right
do this once accorded, it will be
he precedent for star chamber trials
If secret tribunals where human
lights may be more weightily con-
aerned.

the supreme council, and it no longer
constitutes a standing committee of
that body. This is regarded as vir-
tual defeat for the national union
company, which came here with a
strong lobby prepared to obtain an in
dorsement from the council, and to
further it's, ends in establishing a
gigantic monopoly to control all the
farmer trade. The company drew a
large number of state agents within
it's fold-indeed, only three refused to
indorse it. The council evidently did
not accord with the views of the
agents, for by the statutory amend
ment they are set adrift, and are re-
sponsible only to their respective state
alliances. The action of the council is
to be appreciated, for it cannot afford
to lose its pure and blameless character
by any intimations of corruption.
The first boycott ever started by the
alliance was instituted by the council
against the Rochester Clothing Ex-
change, of New York. This concern
is immense, being a consolidation of
twenty three firms. When the COM
bine was formed last March over 49,
600 garmentmakers were thrown out of
employment. A boycott was instituted
by the K of L., and James Hughes, of
that organization, was arrested for
conspiracy against the laws of New
York. By packed jury Mr.. Hughes
was convicted, but the case was APP
pealed and he is now under s13 600
bail. The company succeeded in
breaking up the cooperative clothing
establishment started by the lockout
employees by compelling the clothing
factories to refuse to sell to it. Since
the lockout the business of the COM
bine has fallen off from SIG, 600, 600
to S1a, 600, 900. The resolution institute
ing the boycott was adopted unani-
mously as follows:
Whereas, The Clothing Exchange of Roch-
ester, n. z, has locked out their employees,
depriving them of their right to live; and
Whereas, The said combine has arrested
the officers of the Knights of Labor on
trumped up charges and before a packed
Jury convicted the master workman, one
James Hughes, for doing his duty to his
fellow men; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we denounce the actions

refinery sugar were dissolved in water and re-
duced to "a deg. Beaum6. The absorber was
started at 11:45 o'clock, and in twenty-five
minutes the liquid had become so solid or con-
crete that it would not run into a vessel held I'M

EVAPORATION VS.. ABSORPTION.

Last Tuesday morning DR.. Jas. A. Morrell,
we'll known to our readers as the inventor of
the Cyclone Evaporation, invited a represent
tative of The PLANTER to witness an expert
ment to be conducted by him at the Orleans
Planning Mill Company's yard, in the line of
reducing liquids by blowing hot air through
them, and thus absorbing the contained mois-
ture.
The absorber is a two-cylinder, about
twelve inches diameter. and five feet long,
into the bottom of which hot air is blown
through a Tee. with the escape holes turned
down SO that the air may spread in ascend

The eleventh birthday of the girl Queen of
Holla an d was celebrated by our neighbours in
.Suri 2 am on Monday last with an unusual de-
greeot loyalty. The whole colony was en- t6te
and much gin was drunk to the health Of Her
Majesty Wilhelm ma and the "Oranje-H uis."
The SURNAME publis he'd a special number in
her. honour on tinted paper, and devoted the
whole of the first page to a birthday ode, print
ed in beautiful type set round with an artistic
border. In the previous number of his paper
the editor had dedicated a birthday ode to Gov
ernor vonAsch van Wyck, highly ~eulogistic of
his merits, and abiding in very fowery language
to the light his arrival spread over the darkness
which was being felt in Surinam during the
reign of his predecessor. We learn from a
gentleman who arrived from Paramaribo on
Thursday that the editor Of that obnoxious
newspaper, Volks6ode, and some of its contri-
butors have been imprisoned for their libellous
howlings which, it is said, helped to provoke
the riots in April and that they will have to
remain in gaol for a couple of months until
the Supreme Court re-opens, no bail being
allowed. The Office, with it's type, presses,
books and papers, is now in possession of the

A SINGULAR DISEASE.
Young People Made to Look Old and
Senile-Its Symptoms.

Young People Made to Look Old and
Senile-Its Symptoms.
A new disease, called germosphism;
has been described by Drs. Charcot and
Souques. The word means age-lilse,
and the disease produces an appearance
of senility. The case reported was that
of a woman whose age was twenty-onc,
but whose physiognomy was that of
sixty to seventy years.
Her apparent senility, says the Med
ical Journal, was SO striking that her
father, aged fifty-two, had occasionally
been asked If she were not his mother.
The pathology of the case is limited to
the skin, especially on the surface, and
is a 'decrepitude of the cutaneous sys-
tcm." Otherwise the girl had nothing
old appearing about her. Her hair was
blonde and of average length.
Her intelligence was good, her mem
ory precise, and her Judgment reason
able, but she was readily frightened
when in crowd or by raiload and its
noises; her emotional nature was fairly
we'll balanced, but she was despondent
-on account of her appearance of age,
which she had become to believe was
incurable, and the slightest indisposi-
tion begot a fear of death. Her cuta-
neous sensibility was normal. The
special senses of smell, taste and hear
ing were normal. There was a slight
impairment of vision, without contrac-
tion of the visual field or color blind
ness; there was no arcus senilis. The
hepatic, renal and uterine functions ap-
peared to be normally performed.
The wrinklings had begun about ten
years before, ut which time she received
great fright. She was then a bright,
joyous child, very pretty and refined in
her appearance, and always in the lead
of her classes dt school. When the
change in the skin began there was
for short time the formation of pim-
pies, which persisted few days and
then disappeared without liberation or
mark of any kind.
There was no oedema of the cutaneous
surface. The wrinlSling changes took
place so rapidly that, it is stated. her
friends were unable to recognize her if
they had not seen her within the period
Of a fortnight; the skin at that time is
described. as resembling the ''scales of
fish," No form of treatment, wheth-
er by electricity, hydropathy or tonics,
has been competent to improve her con-
1ition.
