GEAR AND COUNT.

The car has ordered Count Tolstoi
back to his estates. Not that he is not
doing splendid service for the famine
stricken people. but he has been writ
ing letters to London that are 'unpatri-
otto" Here's hoping that Tolstoi will
be "unpatriotic" enough to DEFY the
mandate of the despot.- Toledo Bee.
The car has ordered Count Tolstoi to
give up his charitable work among the
starving peasantry and to return to his
estate. The order is based on the
ground that Count Tolstoi wrote the
truth about the distress in Russia, and
the letter was published in London
newspaper and in the World. The czar
holds that the truth on this subject is
uupatriotic. New York World.
Count Tolstoi, who has been relieving
the distress in the famine stricken dis
tricts of Russia, has, it is said, been CT
dered by the government of that cOun-
try to return to his estate, on the ground
that letter on the famine published in
London was written by him, and that it
was unpatriotic. If the Russian gov
eminent should overcome its supersen-
sitiveness and set itself to the task
which has been taken up by outside
benevOlence, it would deserve better of
public opinion. In its present mental
condition it strains at gnats and swal-
lows camels. Record.

WINSTON FOR DELEGATE.
The Gallant Minneapolitan En-.

The Gallant Minneapolitau En-
titled to Recognition.
Among the distinguished Democrats
named from time to time as proper per-
sons Of whom to make delegates to the
Chicago convention, Mayor Winston, of
Minneapolis. is frequently mentioned.
He is generally recognized as one of
the ablest and most active leaders of the
party, and always one of the most use
full. In political campaigns, whether
city, county, congressional or state, he
is always an earnest WORKER and lib
eral contributor of his time and money.
In this emergency the Democracy of
Minnesota demand that its ablest, wisest
and most discreet men be selected to
compose the delegation to Chicago.
They must be men who have the wis
dom to understand the wishes of the
Democracy and the integrity to carry
out those wishes. In order to accom-
plish the best results the delegation
should act as unit. Should Mr.. CIeve-
lands name be presented to the conven-
ton, as it doubtless will be,
the delegation will be expected to
cast the solid vote of Minnesota for the
distinguished ex-president; and not only
to vote for his nomination, but to use
his nomination for the presidency. To
this end Mr.. Winston will loyalty work
and vote. In an interview }. Ii. Rolfe,a
member of the board of education of
Minneapolis, referring to Mr.. Winston's
candidacy. said:
MayorWinston will go to the Chicago
convention as a deiegate-at-large. That
is dead certainty. No power ill Min
neapolis can prevent that. And it will
be accomplished without any trouble.
The mayors friends will hook them
selves to him with hooks of STEEL They
appreciate that he is highly deserving
of this honor. He has always placed his
time and money at the disposal of the
Democracy. He has probably spent
more money for his party than all the
other Democrats in Minneapolis. He is
too high toned gentleman to come out
and make fight against any man in his
party. Then, if he did, he should have
a foeman worthy of his steel. Mr..
Foote, Mr.. Lawrence and those who
stand with him in this matter are enti-
tied to their opinions, but it is the plain
duty of every Democrat in Hennepin
county to rally to Mr.Winston's support
at this time. No Democratic city or
county official who opposes the mayors
going to Chicago will ever be elected to
any Office in this county again. This is
no fight against the bosses. Mayor
Winston and Mr.. Doran are very good
friends"

Minneapolis. AS HARRISON has allowed
the senators to turn down the represent

SON would retaliate by opposing him in
convention. Not so. He rises to the
ethical altitude that returns love for

tors, he will fail to reach the elevation,
but he is for HARRISON, as singular as it
may seem. There is a fellowship of
kindred spirits. But the men who stand
by JOHNSON are not of the same

ways insisted that the tickets should be

is poor way to encourage the patriotic

Yes, it will be graceful act to give
back TO Mexico the battle flags captured
in the war of so long ago. Uncle Sam
doesn't need them. His fame and the
durability of his house are built On
better things than trophies won in
bloody battles.-New York World.
The senate has passed the bill to re-
turn TO the republic of Mexico twenty
one battle flags now in the museum of
the United States military academy.
These flags were captured in the Mex
lean war. They are no longer service
able as votemakers.-PeOria Herald.
There was nothing in that war. except
the bravery of our troops, that an
American can recall without shame.
> The flags may we'll be returned. for they
are only mementoes of the most unjust
wars prosecuted by civilized nation
since the partition Of Poland.-Cleve-
land Leader.
Has Mr.. Foraker observed that the
United States senate has voted to return
to Mexico the twenty-one battle flags
which we captured from her in fair
fight, and which have since adorned our
national museum? If we can do these
things to stranger. then why not to
our own brothers ?-Cincinnati En-

Senator Sherman's resolution for the
return of the flags captured from
Mexico. and sent to West Point by
President Polk, will meet the approval
of every American; but it ought also to
include the Mexican flags at Annapolis.
Nor would it be ungraciouS to include

portion of the st. Louis platform is De-

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The heavy shipments of gold from
New York during the past week have
had but little, if any, effect on business
In the Northwest. Money is even easier
than it was a week ago, although the
country banks are calling for some of
the money for which they had no use
during the past few months. This is a
healthful and promising sign, as it be-
tokens increased business activity
throughout the state. Collections are
improving, and the wholesale merchants
are rushed with orders in nearly all
lines. There is an improvement in
boots and shoes and dry goods that is
especially gratifying.
The railroads of the Northwest report
heavy movements of freight, notwith-
standing the bad condition of the roads
in many localities. This movement will
continue through the spring and until
the shipment of the next crop COM
mences. The wheat crop is still far
from being shipped. One railroad line
has thus far carried to market 16, 500, 900
bushels of wheat, and, it is estimated,
has no less than 5,500,O00 bushels vet to
carry. Good reports come from the cat
slemen in the DakOtaS and Montana,
she winter having been very satisfactory
TO them. Cattle have done we'll on the
ranges, and it is expected that 10000
steers will be shipped from the South to
Montana this spring. In general the
condition OF trade is excellent in all
parts of the Northwest.
In the South the depression contin-
ueS, owing to the low price of cotton.
The cotton goods trade is improv-
Ing, and may be said to be
good, but with low prices. The
price of wool continues low, although
the wooden mills are rather more active,
with larger orders than usual. A marked
change for the better is reported in
Eastern trade circles, the South being
really the only section where things are
unsatisfactory. In some places on the
coast business is dull, owing to the fact
that these co mmunities are suffering
from the reaction incident to the boomS
with which they have been afflicted.
Wheat sagged two and a quarter
cents for February and two and an
eighth cents for May No. north ern
during the week, and the volume of
trading was not large. Higher prices
are predicted in the spring on the
strength of the foreign demand. Pro-
visions are firmer, and corn and rye are
being shipped across the water at
lively rate. The business failures dur
ing last week in the United States were
270. as compared with 299 the previous
week and 200 the corresponding week
eyear ago.
