AN EPIDEMIC OF CRANKs.

Since Mayor Carter Harrison was
ruthlessly murdered at his home in
Chicago on the night of the 28th of
October, by a poor imbecile who i'm
agined that he ought to be made city
attorney, cranks have broken lose at
many places. One was arrested at
Indianapolis, who said his mission was
to kill President Cleveland. Another
went into the office of Edwin Gould in
New York and demanded S., ZOO or his
life. Still another called on Inspector
Byrnes, New York, for money. Another
sent Gov. Flower, of New York, an
Internal machine sufficient to blow up
the whole State. A wild eyed man
went into a Brooklyn restaurant and
called for 80 and4 the best dinner that
could be served. He left without it,
but said he would blow up the whole
block. Another went into the Weather
Bureau at New York and told the
manager that he had discovered where
and what the sun was. He claimed
that it never went down" in New
Jersey, his home. He invited the
weather f~orecaster up on top IF the
building to prove his assertions. AS
the man was powerfully built and
carried a small package done up in
paper, the weather man agreed with
him in every particular The financial
state of the country has undermined
the reason of hundreds of people and
cranks, both Harmless and dangerous
are all over the country, liable to break
loose at anV moment.

The Durham San makes the not
very startling assertion that reform

require any password in going out of

"Third party fnanciering' has been
subject to much ridicule of late, but

BUSINESS IS IMPRovING0

The bright outlook for the repeal of
the Sherman law failed to stop the
business depression. We have not yet
met a man who is cranky enough to
say that the repeal itself, now a fact,
and signed by the President, has had
any beneficial effect upon business of
any kind. In fact, cotton fell in price
the very day afterSthe bill passed.
For the week ending October f28th,
Dunm's RevieaU reported 352 failures,
six more than for the preceding week,
the number for the corresponding week
last year being only 1877. The liabilities
for the first three weeks in October last
year being 81, OOO, 900, for the same
weeks this year $15, O72, 92O-more than
double. For the week ending Oct. %,
there were three failures with llabili-
ties of more than a million dollars each,
and IS with liabilities of more than
SIS, 900 each.
AS we have often stated, these alarm
ing facts are not paraded in our col
umns for any mercenary purpose, but
to show our readers just where u
politicians are carrying the country to.

"Waiting for the Verdict"

Is the title of a popular novel, and may
be interesting to read of, but very un-
pleasant in practice. The Judge and
court officers get weary waiting for
the jury to come in, but the strain
comes hardest on the prisoner at the
bar, on trial, it may be, for his life.
Whether he shall be free, suffer long
term in prison walls or take a leap into
the great unknown depends on the ver-
dict, and he waits for it in such alter
nate hope and fear as cannot be de-
scribed. The Burlington Route has
long since passed the point of waiting
for the verdict-that has been rendered
by the public, and is to the effect that
it has the smoothest track, the finest
equipment, makes the best time and of
right is the favorite route North.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Charley Sandstrom, laborer on
Townsend's building, was seriously if
not fatally injured last Thursday after
noon. He was handling a wheel-bar-
row, made misstep, fell through
the elevator hole from the first story
and struck a piece of iron that pro-
jected from the elevator. The iron
entered behind his left shoulder and
penetrated both lungs. He was
carried to the Pioneer Drug store and
examined by DR.. Tarbox who pro-
nounced the injuries very serious.
Later he was taken to the Commercial
Hotel, and on Monday was removed to
a Minneapolis hospital. The poor fell
lows chances of recovery are slim. p

The Minneapolis Lamb takes a
.pessimistic view of the situation. It
says: Comparatively few men will
have the hardwood to contract for a
stock of logs to be cut this winter for
their mills, and still fewer pine land
owners will risk going in debt for cut
ting and marketing their timber al
though labor and supplies can be Sc.
cured at reduced figures. The very
patent features of the situation may be
taken into account by some of those
who try to look ahead, and induce
them to risk the cutting Of a stock of
logs for the market on the theory that
scarcity will make high prices next
summer. They will be very much
more likely to see this than they will
the further fact that a large part Of
this years. logs and lumber will be
carried over and be sufficient to answer
the demands of a year which succeeds
such unprecedented depression as this
| The bad feature of the case under dis
cussion is the lack of employment for
! the thousands of men who have for
years found employment in the woods
during half the year. AS a rule they
are an improyident class living al
! most from hand to mouth-who can i'll
afford to lose a winters time in coun-
try where nearly all occupations are
suspended during the winter and all
the necessities of life held for cash
only. Such considerations as these
1 may induce some, who can, to send
crews into the woods at some sort OF
wages and take the chances of selling
! the logs in the spring to pay for the
cutting, but such cases, we think, will
be feW.''

can be made a success. The gate re-

learn how much money is on hand,
what sum can be raised to pay prem
iums, ETC.. Mile Laos county cannot
