DOUBTFUL.
That is What the Democratic New York :
World Considers the Empire State.

That is What the Democratic New York
World Considers the Empire State.
New York is doubtful State at best.
More than 100000 votes for presi-
Dental electors will be cast in this
State on the Sth of November. Who
can foretell the result? Cleveland,s
plurality in 1884 was only 1,O47. Har-
rison's plurality in 1888 was only 1902.
The assumption that either can rely
safely upon plurality in 1892 is alb
surd. Conditions and mems minds
may change between now and Novem-
Der and give to the one or the other an
overwhelming majority. But this is
only a remote possibility. There is
every reason to believe that New York
will remain to the day of election d
doubtful State.
TO blind ourselves to this obvious
fact would serve only to cripple the
party in its struggle for supremacy.
To stake all upon New York would be
worse than folly because it is not neces-
sary.-Neao York World.

In it's issue of yesterday, the Journal
Press confirms the report of the sale of
that paper to Alvah Eastman, an
nounces that the transfer will be made

will be issued on or about that date.
A Journal Press Company is to be
organized, with capital stock of
$4,000, $4,000 of which has been
taken by leading Republicans.
The life of an editor, and especially
that OF a country editor" is a hard
and laborious one, Those who belong
not to the fraternity, appear to believe
that the editorial chair is like unto a
bed OF roses, upon which We editor re-

this were true; but, alas, it is not.
The Industrious, active, live, energetic
editor, as rule, is the hardest worked
man in the community. For twenty
eight years w. B. Mitchell has edited
and published the Journal Press. That
those have been years of unremnitting
toll, is we'll evidenced by the fact that
ne raised his paper from small begin
nlngs to the position of one of the
largest and ablest weekly journals in
the State. His paper has been credit
to himself, and an interchangeable cham
pion of St. Clouds interests. It may
be that at times he made mistakes.
Who has not? "To err is human-to
forgive is divine"
The Times has had newspaper differ
ences with Mr.. Mitchell, and on oc-
casions words have been printed by
both which it were better had never
been uttered by either. But, now that
he is about to retire from the journal
istic ranks, the Times gladly bears
testimony to the newspaper enterprise
OF himself and his able newspaper.
We congratulate him upon the rest
which is soon to be his and which he
has so well earned.
1t may surprise our readers that we
should thus speak kind words of one
with whom we have been 'sat war;

How the Dollar Grows.

The american Economist has collected
from the books of the retail stores of
the country the prices at which the
chief manufactured necessaries have
sold in various parts of : the coun-
try, and has averaged the results.
The outcome is the average purchase
price actually paid by the consumers
in the various periods named. The
three dates here represented are, 1857,
the ante-bellum low tariff period; Octo-
Der, 1889, exactly one year before the
passage of the Mckinley tariff, and be-
fore its discussion and the campaign of
1890 had affected prices; and July, 1892,
nearly two years after the bills pas
sage. The result shows a radical re-
duction on all the important manufac-
tured necessaries:

Blaine's Grand Measure.

Our reciprocity policy in Spanish
America has stirred up Europe to ac-
tivity in the same direction. The pol
icy was seen at once to be a good and
winning one. Europe saw in its effect
uation the extinction of its trade with
the Spanish Americans. Germany has
just succeeded in effecting reciprocity
treaty with the United States of Col
umbia, and congratulates herself. But
our own country cannot now be dis.
lodged from its vantage ground if our
manufacturers and merchants avail
themselves of their trade opportunities.
With proper effort on our part, Europe
will be driven out of Mexico, Central
and South America in less than 10
years. Minneapolis Journal.

placed on the Peoples Party ticket.
This same Mr.. Stivers has on every
occasion that offered expressed a loath-
ing contempt for Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly the chosen leader of the Peoples
Party in this State. Mr.. Stivers is a
smooth oily-tongued speaker of more
than ordinary ability, but his fertile re-
sources will be taxed to their utmost
limit in explaining his position to the
voters of the 46th legislative district
this fall. AS a member of the Demo-
cratic State Central committee he is in
honor bound to do his best towards So
curing the electoral vote of Minnesota
Tor Grover Cleveland, and he must use
all means at his command to defeat
Gen. Weaver. He is in honor bound
to secure every vote possible. for the
Democratic candidate for governor,
and his colleagues on the ticket, and
Leave no stone unturned to compass the
defeat of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly and
his associates. PROBABLY Mr.. Stivers
can accomplish the feat of riding two
horses going in opposite directions,
but we doubt it. He cannot serve God
and Mammon.
Henry Raiscot, the Morrison county
man, is a life long Democrat, and
withal pretty square sort of a fellow.
But what claim has he on the voters of
the Peoples Party? If elected he
would support Mike Doran, Pat
Kelly, Jim Hill or whoever the bosses
might designate for United States
senator. The ticket>nominated at Lit
tie Falls on the 10Th inst. is a ticket
that cannot commend itself to the Peo-
PIES Party voters. The Peoples
Party of the district had no voice in
it's selection and they are under no OBJ
legations whatever to support the
nominees of a Democratic convention.
No true friend of Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly will ever cast a vote for the
bastard miscegenation conceived at
Little Falls on the 10th inst.

On the leading articles the prices
have fallen since 1857 from one-half to
four-ffths in price. Granulated sugar
has declined from &c. to &C.; calico,
from 15c. to &C.; mowers, from $3.50 to
S46; gingham, from 26c. to &c.; wire
nails, from TIC. to 3.5c. Since October,
1889, retail prices of staple manufac-
tured necessaries have declined from
10 to 80 per cent, the Democratic
party to the contrary notwithstanding.
One OF the beauties of these statistics
is that they can be verified by the
shopping experiences Of every house

mechanic, of the manufacturer and re-
tail dealer agree in the story of declin-
ing prices and the increasing power OF

COnSCriDtion.

When the gain of what ia termed a whole
nation under arms is estimated, the exag-
geration OF the pompous phrase hides the
nakedness of the fact that large numbers OF
young men are lost to their country by the
means to which they resort to escape mill
tary service. In Italy and Germany these
may be counted by legions; in France men
are less numerous, because in France men
are more welded to the native soil, and
take to servics more gayly and more natu-
rally, but in Italy and Germany thousands
flock to emigrant ships. thus choosing

year, as the military and fiscal
burdens grow heavier. will lads go

and they can ''call their soul their own"
Patriotism is Il fine quality, no doubt. but
it does not accord with the chill and uper-
cilious apathy which characterized the gen.
eral teaching and temper of this age, and
a young man may be pardoned if he deem
that his country is less a mother worthy of
love than a cruel and unworthy stepmother,
when she demands three of the fairest
years of his life to be spent in a barrack

around the Office. No one replied at once
and he repeated the question. The mana
ger asked him what he could do for him,
and the future great electrician pro-
decided to strike him for a Job.
BUSINESS was rushing and the
office was two men short. so almost any
kind OF a lightning-slinger was welcome.
He was assigned to a desk and a fusilade OF

and the instrument on Edison's table
hummed like an old-style Singer sew

Jay to see what he was doing with that
