GRAIN RATES REDUCED.

The Minnesota State Railway Commission
Decides the Steenerson Case.
ST. PAUL, Sept 12.-The state rail-
road and warehouse commission has
decided the famous Steenerson rate
case, an appeal to the commission to Or
der reduced freight rates on grain on
the Great Northern railway, on the
ground that the present charges are un.
reasonable. The commission finds that
the first three allegations of fact in the
plaintiffs complaints are true, and or
ders put into effect q distance tariff of
rates, which make material reductions
in the present charges.
Coal Rates Also Cut.
The decision Of the state railroad and
warehouse commission in the Steener.
son grain rate case was followed by
another important ruling in the case Of
the City of Moorhead against the North
ern Pacific Railroad company, reducing
the rate per ton on hard and soft coal
over that line, from Duluth to Moor
head from s. to 1926. The commission
finds that the Northern Pacific rate Of
s. ton is unreasonable, considering
the distance on that line between Du-
luth and Moorhead.

Monster Parade of Old Soldiers Viewed by
Half n Million People.

Monster Parade of Old Soldiers Viewed by
Half a Million People.
P1TTsBURG, Pa, Sept. 12.-Forty
thousand men who fought to save the
Union marched through the cities of
Pittsburg and Allegheny during the
day. The old familiar war tunes to
which they and their comrades rushed
to victory or to death, filed the air and
echoed back from the surrounding hills.
At 1890 o'clock the parade started
from the historic Monongahela House,
on the banks of the river from which it
takes its name. First came Company
A, Second battalion, Naval Reserves,
guard of honor to Commander.in-Ch Chief
Adams. Then followed the departments
Of the G. A. R.
A rough estimate is that between
500, 900 and 100000 people saw the
parade. OF this number 800, 900 to $780,
600 came over the railroads; 100, 900 ar.
rived this morning. The almost in
Vulnerable lines of electric roads run
ming to thickly settled suburbs within q
radius of Is miles brought as many

NOTHING BUT REPUBLICAN GAINS

The G. o. p. Greatly Pleased Over the Re-
suit in Maine.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. lathe Re-
publicans regard the result of Monday Is
election as the biggest victory ever
achieved in this state. The vote for
governor, which two years agowas $780,
600, is reduced $4,000 to 10000, but even
with this it is alleged that Cleaves re-
ceived 10000 votes. In every one of
the 16 counties of the state the Democ-
racy has been defeated.
Every city in the state has probably
gone Republican, which is something
phenomenal. The returns show nothing
but Republican gains. The returns so
far indicate chat Johnson, Democrat,
will not get over $4,000 to $1,000 cast
for him two years ago, and this may be
reduced to later returns.
All four of the Republican congress-
men are elected.

1 am continually receiving letters
asking, "What shall Christian young
people do against the saloon!" The
question is its own perfect answer, and
l can only give it back expanded, as
one may blow a rosebud into bloom.
First of all, I will be Christian.
Henceforth I'll stand upon the noun
tain top of Pauls great verse of which
the familiar version is: eff meat
makes my brother to offend | will not
eat meat enough to hurt myself though
the world perish" but which is writ
ten, 81 will eat no meat while the
world stands" And drinking wine
does cause my brother to offend.
From the first, the strong, clean, mod
crate drinker has been, and is to-day,
the weak mans school-master to lead
him to the gutter. Am 1 saying that
one who drinks is not a Christian7
No, but he is not such a Christian as
can help in this endeayor. A drink
ing church cannot rebuke the drinking
world. In the perplexing movements
of patriotic service I will keep faith
with Jesus Christ.
I will confess Him before people,
and on election day, which in this
land of equal rights is mans day,
I will show myself Christian voter
fit to represent unfranchised women
hood at the polls. I will go to Him,
hear His words, and whatsoever He
says unto me, l will do it. Upon that
rock I will build my politics and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against
It. I will be intelligent; I will be con-
sistent; I will let no man despise me:
1 will not despise myself; if I keep
political company where saloon-keep-
'ers feel at home, I will be man
enough not to pray, city kingdom
come on earth" I will be man toe
much a man to talk of taking the
world for Christ while am consenting
to farm out the highways of my own
country to saloons and live on the
rentals. l will hold no politician's
coat while he stones a prophet OF
denies full citizenship to a women

PITTsBURG, Sept. Is. Colonel Thomas
G. Lawler Of Rockford, his, has been
elected commander in-chief Of the g. A.
B. in the hottest contested fight for the
office in the history Of the organization.
His opponent was Colonel L. n. Walker

by scant II majority. Major A. p.

senior vice commander and Charles H.
Shute Of New Orleans Junior vice, both
by reclamation.

Tho Fight For Chief.
The feature of the encampment and
the hottest and closest contest ever
known in the Grand Army was the
fight for the position of commander-in-
chief. The contestants were Colonel
Thomas q. Lawler of Rockford, Ills,
and I. N. Walker of indianapolis,
Electioneering of a most vigorous char
acter has been going ON all week,
and the friends of both cam
didates claimed victory by a
good margin. The closeness of the
result was surprise to both victor and
defeated. It took As minutes to cast
and count the ballot of $40 delegates.
Then Commander Adams announced
that the vote stood: Lawler, $50;
Walker, 319, the Illinois man winning
by the narrow margin of IL votes. AS
soon as the election was announced
peals of applause rang through the
opera house. When some semblance Of
quiet was restored Colonel Walker
withdrew his name and the election of
Colonel Lawler was made unanimous.
Installation and Adjournment.
General Adams returned thanks for
all the honors bestowed upon him, and
Past Commander-in- Chief R. B. Beath
installed, with all the ceremony of the
ritual, the elected officers and all the
G. A. R. flags, records and effects were
turned over to the new officials. Com
mander- in Chief Lawler here grasped
the gavel, but soon the new chaplain
in-chief, Hagerly, came to the footlights
to pronounce the benediction, and the
18th encampment was finished. This is
the first time the encampment has con-
cluded its business and elected and in
stalled its officers in sitting of two
days.

Colonel Davidson moved to make the
selection of Louisville unanimous, at

st. Paul for 1896. This was received
with universal manifestations Of ap-

ment work for 1896, and have already
secured quarters for 1896 at Louisville.
