Mr.. BlA|NE'S PLANS
He Listens to Friends
but Says Nothing.
HE Is LIKELY TO ACCEPT.
His Wife Said to Have Changed Her
Views on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, May 2i.-Rumors have
been f..ing about the capital to the effect
that Secretary Blaine had positively de-
cided to accept the nomination at Mime.
apolis. il offered him, and that an under
standing had been reached between the
president asd himself indicating that
there wonld be no antagonism between
them. The hrst of these rumors has some
foundation For the latter there is no
foundation whatever There hss been
during the past few days tremendous
pressure brought to bear on the secretary
to induce him 10 accept the nomination.
lie has been visited by a number of In
innate friends, some OF them from his own
state, among these Representatives Milli-
ken and Boutslle, who had very plain talk
with him concerning the political situa-
tion. They conveyed TO the secretary the
fact that there existed determination on
the part OF the people throughout the
country that he should be nominated;
that nine-tenths of the delegates to Mime
apolis were
Favorable to His Candidacy.
believing that he is the only person who
can rally the enthusiasm and strength of
the party and carry it to victory. The
secretary listened very attentivcly to all
they had to say, but still maintained his
non-committal attitude.
Representatives Milliken and Boutelle,
however, are fully satisfied thst IL nomi-
mated he will accept They do not ask
that he shall make public announcement
or write letter, but simply preserve his
reticence, and when nominated make
prompt acceptance. One Of the most sig
nificant facts these gentlemen regard in
connection with this matter is the will
ingness of Mrs. Blaine to have her hus-
band accept. Hitherto she has strenuously
opposed any suggestions of his acceptance.
But one of the main reasons which actu-
ated her change of views has been the in
cessant revamping of the stories about
her husband being mental and physical
wreck. She alleges that she knows the
origin OF these stories, aud that the best
way TO rcfute them will be for Blaine
To Accept the Nominatisn.
The effect Of these utterances by Milli-
ken and Boutelle. and the additional in
formation which comes from equally
creditable authority concerning the atti-
tude of the secretary. has created much
comment and discussion in all political
circles. The Democrats are also discuss
ing the subject, which has caused consid-
erable commotion among the leaders.
They have been basing their hopes upon
the Idea that Blaine was not among the
possibilities

CONCERNING A THIRD TERM.
Interesting Letter from General Gran

Interesting Letter from General Grant
to senator CoakItng Made Pebble.
COLUMBUS, o., May 21.-The Evening
Dispatch publishes letter written by
General Grant TO Senator Conkling in
May, 1880, protesting against the third
term. In his letter General Grant says:
The tribute you pay my services TO the coun-
try appreciate, but fear you over estimate
my services and under estimate the indul-
gence or our country. There have been
exigencies that warranted second term,
but do not believe that the best interests or
the country's good ever demand a third term
or ever will.
In conclusion he appeals to Mr. Conkling
to endeavor to effect an amieable adjust
mcnt of the differences existing between
the latter and Mr.. Blaine, claiming that
it was not only necessary for the good of
each, but for the good of the party and for
the good of the country.

Several Strange Dreams.

A farmers wife dreamed that she was
walking near the house Of rejected
lover-One Observation-Disclosures by a
beautiful hound, of which she was fond,
when raven dashed at him, killed him,
and tearing out his heart flew away
with it. She next imagined that she
was running home, and met a funeral,
and from the coffin blood flowed upon
the ground. The bearers placed it at
her feet opened the lid and exhibited
her husband, murdered and his heart
torn ont. She awOke, as might be ex-
pected, in great terror. But here fol-
lows the most incomprehensible part of
the narrative. Her husband entertained
an idiot cousin in the house, and he in
doggeral rhyme repeated the very same
dream to "A gossip to whom the farm
er's wife had related hers.
That very night the farmer was muir
dered, and the next morning the poor
idiot, to the horror Of all, exclaimed, as
ne rose from his bed: "Ulick"-Ulick

spot indicated by the dream, and the
body was found with the skull nearly
cleft in two. In the meantime O'Flan-
agan absconded and enlisted, but was
subsequently arrested, confessed his
crime and was executed.-Pall Mall

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PROBLEM

The Council should act cautiously,
and at the same time wisely, with the
proposition before it by the proposed
Redwood Falls Electric Light Co. All
encouragement necessary should be
given to the promoters of the scheme,
but the city's interests should not be
lost sight of. Aside from the right to
purchase the plant at the end Of five
years, and compelling the company to
pay a reasonable compensation for the
use of the power house, the company
should be asked to furnish certain
number of lamps to the city free of
charge during the existence of the
franchise. Exclusive franchises to
corporations are dangerous, when not
properly guarded, and our excellent
Mayor and Council will no doubt see
that the city's interests in this matter
are we'll taken care of.

most rapid development OF her great 70
sources, to levy duties upon articles in tho
production Of which other countries have
permanent natural advantages. Such arti-
cles should be admitted free
From this point of view much valuable
time has been wasted in the collection and
discussion Of statistics in regard to so called
total labor cost of production. Most of
these statistics leave out. of the computa-
ton sums paid for clerical service, for SUI
perintendence, for taxes and insurance, for
labor in repairs and materials and all the
great mass OF incidental expenses which go
to make up the cost of doing business and
the ultimate cost OF production. These all
represent labor or services. The sums col.
lected for taxes, for instance, go to pay
school teachers, firemen, policemen, tax
assessors, collectors and various other en-
ployees in the public service. All the es-
sential elements in the cost of production
can be reduced to an expenditure for labor
or services in some form, and labor cost Of
production and total cost Of product are
equal terms.
Among the many remarkable statements
made by the senator from Missouri in his
speech of June %, find the following:
Il am prepared to show by irrefutable
testimony that never in the history of this
country has there been such disturbance
of labor, never such hostile and ininaical
relations between. employer and employee.
never such prostration of agricultural in
terests, never such a limiting and narrow
ing Of foreign markets, never such disaster
brought about in SO short time as by this
infamous legislation"
ITO support this he presents list of al
legged strikes, lockouts and wage reductions
compiled by Hon. John De Witt for the
New York World, covering the time from
Dec. 4, 1890, to June Is, 1892 He says
seventy-seven strikes occurred in that time.

CLEVELAND AND THE SOLDIERS.
The Union soldiers of the civil war
cannot vote for Grover Cleveland for
| President of the United States without
feeling certain that he is casting vote
for one of the bitterest foes of their
cause-not even excepting confed-
crate officer-under the sun. The Tn
ion soldiers sympathized with each
other and periodically stood around
the administration of Lincoln during
the dark days of the war. Grover
Cleveland and his copper-head run
ming mate, Adlai Stevenson, sent sub
stitutes, and publicly denounced every
action of President Lincoln. They
exerted every power to clog the wheels
of the administration that carried on
the mightiest war of modern times,
and that brought it to successful
end. Stevenson declared the war
failure. President Cleveland vetoed
the dependent pension bill, which is
in effect the same as the disability act
drafted and introduced by Senator
Davis, Of Minnesota, passed by Re
publican congress and signed by
Republican President, Benjamin Har-
rison. He issued the rebel flag order,
at the express request of rebel officers,
and acknowledged his error by count
ermanding that order after an indig-
nant populace branded him as trait
or. He raised L. @. G. Lamar, the
noted Mississippi rebel, to the SUI
preme Bench, a life position, and a
position all powerful, and dangerously
powerful when questions pertaining
to the constitution, are to be consid-
cred. His every action on special pen
sion legislation was veto, and showed
his deep and bitter animus towards
the men, by whose bravery the Union
over which he has presided, was saved.
Buchanan cannot be compared with
him, for Buchanan was weakminded
and influenced by Southerners, while
Cleveland, with bulldog tenacity, has
gloriously championed his errors.
President Harrison ,on the other hand,
has signed every pension bill passed
by congress-was a soldier, is sol
der, was and has shown himself to be
a friend of the soldiers. Soldiers, and
sons Of soldiers, you should not hest
tate in casting your vote. Vote for
, your tried friends, that Union" gener-
al, Benjamin Harrison, and Major

It will be noticed that the Farr Alpaca
company, of Holyoke, Mass, quote double
and single warp coat Innings at lower
rate in July, 1892, than in either of the
previous years. The other quotations sub
mitted by me are the prices at which the
goods manufactured by the five leading
American producers of wOmen's and chill
dren's dress goods sold their product at
the respective dates named. These Quota
tions show decline in price in every case.
These quotations refer only to domestic
goods; but very large proportion of the
goods of this class consumed in the United
States is produced by the domestic manu-
facturers, who have practically the con-
troll of the American market.
1t can, however, be conclusively estab
lished that the cost to import the great
mass of women's and childrens dress
goods is less today than it was before the
passage of the act of 1890, and it is GER
tainly true that both foreign and domestic
goods of this character are sold at retail at
lower prices now than they were prior to
October, 1890. / have been furnished by
Messrs. William H. Burgess & Co., Of
Paris and New York, with statement
lay down in New York, duty paid, Of all
wool cashmeres, standard quality, 12 to Is
twill. Other descriptions of all wool dress
goods vary in price with these at fixed
ratio. This statement shows that the cost
to import the goods in question, duty and
other charges paid, in 1887, was 442 cents;
in 1888, 42.S cents; in 1889, Ala cents, and
in 1892, 40 cents per yard. This would
seem to clearly establish the fact that for
the great mass of women's and childrens
dress goods used in the United States the
cost laid down in New York to the import
er is less today than it was prior to tariff
changes.
In regard to the price of astrakhans there
is very little to be said. The demand for
this fabric is extremely limited. and fluc-
tuations in The price are of very little i'm
portance to the people of the country. I
have, however, been furnished with sam
Piles and price list of astrakhans of do
nestle manufacture by the Goodall Wor-
sted company, of Sanford, Me. This list
shows that the company referred to sells
54-inch astrakhans, so ounces in weight, at
$3.63 per yard net to their customers, or at
81 cents per yard less than the cost of i'm
porting similar goods, as reported by Mr..
McKeever.
