How long would II law Curtailing free
speech, the keystone of freedoms arch,
stand, if it was enacted by the legisla-
ture of Minnesota Just long enough
for the United States supreme court to
decide that it was unconstitutional, as
it would do without dissenting voice.
MIR BLAINE'S intercontinental none
tary conference was a decided failure,
as far as results are concerned. All adj
mitted the Instability of IA coin that
would circulate in all America countries
at the same value, but it was shown that
the difficulties in providing such a coin
are at the present time insurmountable.
If the Irish national league of Ameri-
ca succeeds in its reported purpose to
harmonic the conflicting factions in
Ireland, it will have accomplished a
great work for that distressful country.
The rival leaders can hardly afford to
ignore the good offices of this league in
it's effort to restore harmony. Without
the funds which this organization sup
plies, the Irish leaders will be in a poor
condition to prosecute their campaigns
in the future. The friends of Ireland in
America have furnished the bulk of the
sinews of war hitherto, and they will
doubtless be called upon to continue
their bounty.
STRIKES are sometimes very costly
affairs. 1t is estimated that the strike
in the Pennsylvania coke district has
already cost S2.OOO,OOO not to mention
Il half dozen human lives. Should it
last six weeks longer the final cost is es-
timated at $4,000,O0O. The state of
Pennsylvania has been paying nearly
$4,000 day for the maintenance of two
regiments of militia at the scene of the
recent riot, and this is but a small item.
There will be still further expense when
the strike is ended even by reason of the
various criminal suits growing out of
the slaughter of rioters by the sheriff S
deputies.

New YORK, Sept. 4-R C. Dun & Co s
weekly review OF trade SAYS:
Business improves IN all sections at the
| South, partly because Of injury TO the cot
ton crop and the consequent advance IN the
price of wheat. The crop is out OF danger
and is enormous, undoubtedly the largest
ever grown and moving with unusual
rapidity. The corn crop has been saved
| and is very large in most of the surplus
producing states and even within the range
! OF recent frosts appears 10 have been, in
par, beyond injury.
The monetary situation is also decidedly
clearer ana more favorable. Foreign
notes appear urgent and the dan
ger Of successfully resistance to Ameri-
can demands Tor gold is diminished.
The removal Of the German prohibition Of
American pork imports promises a largely
increased demand Tor that important pro
duct and considerable addition TO the
merchandise exports for the year. Exports
from New York for the past i've weeks
exceed last years nearly 81 per cent, and
while imports are also increased largely,
the balance of trade turns decidedly IN
favor Of the United States
Reports from other cities express in
creased confidence and show an actual gain
in the volume of trade At all Southern
points the prices Oh higher cotton stimulate
trade and collections are somewhat better
easier AT the West no complaints of
stringency arc noted, though money is
frmer.
At Chicago operation in the speculative
markets have been more active, and wheat
has declined A. cents.
Exports for the current week have been
about ten times those of last year, though
the movement of -four does not correspond
ingly increase.
Corn declined 3 cents before the reports
OF frost.
Cotton has advanced notably more than
&c during the week on sales of 93O, 0JG bales
at New York, and the market is likely to
be uncertain for some time to come.
Coffee has fallen &c.
In stocks there has been a remarkable
advance, broken on Thursday by some re-
action on the report Of frOsts.
Great industries are doing well, though
strikes of Importance are threatened in the
cotton mills ut Fail River.
Trading in dry goods is particularly large
in all wool caShmeres and dress goods.
Business failures throughout the country

compared with 22G last week; for The CORE

WAsHINaToN, Sept web Flanagan
has had his question What are we here
for.'; answered TO his satisfaction. He is
now collector of customs at FL Paso, Tex,
by his appointment yesterday. Flanagan
has the reputation Of being d very active
politician of the sort who believe that there
would be no use for spOils if they We're not
for the victors, and that there would be
very little victory without the spoilS. His
appointment IS looked upon as u Shrewd
move by Harrison to secure Il firm hold on
Tie Texas delegation at the next Rcpub-
ican national convention.
Quincy the colOred leader. who Is collec-
tor At Galveston, was not d personal ap-
pointee Of the president He has always
been an admirer Of Blaine. and Flanagan is
said to De the only man in the state who can
dispute his control OF the Republican pOliti-
cal machine. While it is believed that
Quincy would be loyal 10 Harrison under or
binary circumstances it IS not thought that
anything would prevent his supporting
Blaine II he is in The field. Flanagan on
the other hand is not Blaine man. but has
been for Sherman and is now for Harrison.
Ii is believed by the friends of Harrison
that backed by the administration, he could
take the state convention away from Quincy
If the latter turned against the adninistIa-
ton, and II is said that this consideration
entered into his selection TO succeed COllec
tor Clark at FL PaSo Clark WAS turned out
on account of charges against his moral
character which his friends did not think
serious because not bad enough to offend the
Seusibilties Of FL 'aso people, but which
We're said 10 be regarded by Harrison as
quite shocking.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Sept 1.-THE history
Of the gallows tells no more hidcOuS story
than that Of the execution of Louis Buliing,
the St. Joseph wife murder, at Savannah
this afternoon. Just before the time fixed
for the execution the doomed man shot
himself in the vain effort to commit
suicide, and finally died on the gallows,
shrieking for mercy and cursing his eX-
ecutioners. Up 10 L few days ago Bulling
seemed cheerful and hopeful in the face Of
his approaching death He had twice
before cheated the gallows by Jail
chance still remained and
TO it might be added Communication or sui
eide. One Of these chances soon faded
away. The faithful parents went TO Jetfer
son City and haG several strong personal in
tervlewS with Governor Francis. but he was
firm in his decision not 10 interfere with
Bullings second chance for life. He
broke down completely when he received
from his parents the message that the gov
ernor was obdurate. He tainted and was
with difficulty revived. He was con-
firned opium eater, and during his last
night was given large doses ct
the drug. but it failed to
have the accustomed effect. Sheriff Barry
had set the hour for the execution at 10
O'Clock this morning. When hetwent TO the
cell to prepare the doomed man for the
scaffold, Bulling prayed so pitifully for
an extension. that the sheriff yielded
and gave him until > O'Clock 10
live. When O'Clock arrived he renewed
his application to the sheriff and pleaded
for one hour more. He'0
FELL on HIS KNEES
before the sheriff and begged piteously for
mercy. The sheriff granted his request,
and then Bulling asked for brandy and the
sheriff gave him a pint. Injections of NOR
phine were administered. but neither of the
drugs had much effect. The sheriff then
retired, leaving the murderer with Rev.
Lavakc, his spiritual adviser. The silence
of the Jail WAS broken only by the voice of
the priest, when suddenly two shots rang
out. The sheriff ran TO the cell. The
priest lay PROSTATE on the floor. At his
side lay Bulling weltering in his own blood
which flowed from wounds in his breast
He had shot himself twice with revolver.

Patrick E"an is still acting as minister of

is well defined feeling about town that he
