WHY THEY WEAKENED.
Silver Democrats Were Afraid OF
Splitting the Party.

Silver Democrats Were Afraid of
Splitting the Party.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The story of
the way the Democratic silver senators
came to give up the fight so suddenly is
told by amember of the house who went
over to inquire about it just after the
collapse came. The men who were 80
earnest for the fight Sunday night met
with their Democratic colleagues Mon
day morning and announced their in
tention Of assisting the silver men with
the fight, as promised. It was here
that the persuasions of the repealers
were used with such good effect. Sen
ator German did not take so much
part in the advice that was given,
but his ideas were expressed by men
like Vest, Cockrell, Faulkner and
others. They urged upon Senators
Harris and Pugh. who were the reputed
leaders Of the Democrats fighting for
silver, that up to the present time the
Democrats
BY No Act or Deed
had given any countenance to the fill
clustering movement. They had not
even gone to the length of making
speeches without they really desired to
have them delivered, and not single
speech from the Democratic side could
be charged up to the attempt to con-
sumo time. The Democrats, both re-
pealers and anti-repealers, had come to
the front, and helped to make quorums
during the long night sessions. They
had not joined in any effort to flibus-
ter by any means whatever, even
those who were most radically opposed
to the bill. 1t was urged that with this
record they could not afford to begin a
fight which would resolve itself into
tilibuster pure and simple. It was
pointed out by the more conservative
Democrats that such course would
only result in giving the party a
Very Black Eye,
as it would be claimed that the silver
Republicans confined their opposition
to legitimate debate, and only delayed
action by long speeches, but that, so
far, they had not resorted to any such
methods as the anti-repeal Democrats
were now proposing, and this
for the sole purpose of defeating
a :measuse endorsed by the Demo-
aratic administration passed in
Democratic house. The more
vigorous silver men were in
formed that they would not have cor
poraPs guard with them if they per-
sisted in such attempt, and that the
Democratic party as a party could not
be held responsible for any such dis
grace as it would bring upon the SEN
ate. This sort of reasoning
Had the Desired Effect.
Mr.. Harris, who is ever punctillious
when the rules and traditions of the
senate are concerned, was placed in a
position that he could not we'll occupy,
and when he found that his leadership
would be made ridiculous he informed
Senator Dubois that the understanding
which they had reached about continu-
ing the fight under Democratic leader
ship supported by the Republican sill.
yer men had come to an end, and the
Democratic silver men would engage
in no 6libustering movement

THE Minneapolis Journal says that
a party of Polish capitalists will visit
that city in August and will then de-
eide upon the question of erecting a
beet sugar refinery at that point,
which will cost at least 81 900, 900. The
members Of the party are represen-
tatives of the Polish nobility, and
have been engaged in the beet sugar
business in their native country for
years. They are backed with unlim-
tied capital and have been contem-
plating for some time the erection of
a refinery in this country, and for
that purpose have been studying the
situation here. They are pleased with
the Minnesota report, it being the
best from any point they have receiv-
ed. An establishment of that kind
and on the scale reported, wouldbe of
great Importance to the state of Min
nesota, and it is to be hoped that
Minneapolis will succeed in convinc-
ing the Polish gentlemen that this
is the one state where they ought to
locate.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS,

r. G.. Dunn & Co. in their weekly
report state that there is some
what better tone in business because
money markets are little less strin-
gent: but it cannot be said as yet that
there is any distinct improvement. In
every direction unusual conservatism
prevails, orders are relatively small,
the volume of business is restricted,
and waiting policy rules" Better
reports come from Boston and other
points in the east, while from Chicago
while the bankers are cautious the
worst is believed to be over. and con-
fidence is again asserting itself. At
Minneapolis confidence is strengthen
ing and trade is fair, though collec-
tions are slow.
Regarding wheat, Bradstreet says:
Exports of wheat from the United
States and Canada continue to fur
nish heavy totals each week, increases
of late being from one-half to two
thirds the totals for like weeks in
four preceding years. The total
this week is 4, 1874, 900 bushels or 1,5OO,-
900 bushels more than in the week
year ago. and still heavier increase
az compared with preceding years.
An Unexpectedly heavy increase in
stocks of wheat in Europe and afioat
for Europe last week has not entirely
Offset the relatively small decrease in
the United States and Canada, even
with the 100, 900 bushels IN Australia
included.

THE ReUieoU says that MinnesOta's
exhibit at the worlds fair represents
her sin her wild and primitive state,"
that sits great agricultural, indus
trial and mining interests, its
churches, schools and educational in
situations are not represented, but to
be presumed" In making this kind
of statement the editor of that
sheet is simply talking through his
hat. If he would take the trouble to
go down to Chicago and look it oyer
he would find that for the amount of
money which Minnesota appropriated
she has one of the finest exhibits in
every respect on the ground. Not
onlp is Minnesota represented in her
wild and primitive state, but also in
her highest elements of civilization,
and the stranger in looking 1T over
can at once form good idea of the
progress of the state from wild nature
to it's present high grade of civiliza-
ton, and also note the vast resources
now at her command. NOtwithStand-
ing that the ReUieaU says our indus
tries, agricultural and mining inter-
ests and educational institutions are
not represented, each and every one
of these interests are represented by
fine exhibit, and these exhibits are
attracting widespread attention
from visitors on the fair grounds. But
the writer Of the ReDieoU criticism is
ignorant of all this, and seems to be far
easier to accept the untruths of the
Donnellys, Bakers and other kickers,
than it is to take the trouble to get
the facts Of the matter. The fact of
the matter is that when the amount
of money which the Minnesota COM
miSsionerS had at their disposal is
taken into consideration, there is no
state or interest on the grounds
which can make finer showing, and
many states which appropriated
larger sums do not excel it. However,
those who made up their minds in the
beginning to kick and grumble about
the Minnesota exhibit, no matter
how complete and elegant, and repre-
sentative of the state it may be, will
undoubtedly continue to do so in spite
Of facts. They wouldn't be happy if
they didn't. 1t is somewhat strange,
however, that for the sake of venting
their personal spite, they will con-
tinue to libel their state. In the
meantime the Minnesota exhibit is
winning the state fresh laurels from
the outside world.

THE Representative, Donnelly's new
paper. says that the Mankato Board
of Trade has been in existence for
twenty-five years and was never
known to be in session until few
weeks ago when it passed resolutions
asking for the repeal of the Sherman
law. That is about as close as Don
nelly can get at the truth when he at
tempts to discuss financial or political
matters. His assertion that the reso-
buttons were passed at the command
of the gold bugs, is another freak of
his diseased imagination, and was
probably revealed to him by a CIPHER.

THE officials of the cold storage
building which burned at the Worlds

they informed the firemen of the dan
ger Of going up on the dome, and
warned them that the fire had broken
out below. They state that had their
warning been needed, all loss of life
among the firemen would have been
prevented. Marshal Murphy, they
claim, treated their warnings with
contempt, and drove his men to GER
tain death. The matter is now being
Investigated. If the marshal is as
black as painted by the cold storage
officials the full extent of the law
ought to he given him.
