MILLING IN THE NORTHWEST,
\ Flour Output at Minneapolis Continues
LarEe-Prices Not the Best.

Flour Output at N MHneapOlis Continues
LarEe-Prices Not the Best.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-The flour
output at Minneapolis last week was
29S, $40 barrels, against 2S6, ,O4O the week
before and 2S6, $50 in 1894 At Superior
and Duluth 1O4, 665 barrels were ground
last week against 1l5,515 the week be-
fore and 9O,215 in 1894.
The Minneapolis output was about as
large as ever made. Last week, some
mills sold good deal more -four than
did others. Orders booked approximated
26O, 600 barrels. At Minneapolis, prices
are easier, but, with the prospect of soon
having to change from lake shipment
to across-lake and all-rail thereby add
ing to l0c per barrel, millers are not
disposed to lower eastern prices, as the
tendency ought to be the other way.
The Superior-Duluth production
promises to attain llO, 900 barrels this
week. The markets were improved and
fair prices were last week obtained,
both in the United States and abroad.
The cable inquiry for low grade, and
even feed, was good, and fair sales of
low grade made at better than home
prices. Quite number of millers
through the Dakotas and Minnesota
are storing their offal, rather than sell
at the low values which prevail.

Colonel Melino, Who Led the

TAMPA, Fla, Nov 22-Colonel Fer
nando Figuredo, the Cuban leader Of
this city, is in receipt of letter from
Havana, giving details of atrocities that
were committed by Spaniards in Matan-
zas province. Colonel Melno, who COM
mands Spanish regiment, recently en-
countered the advance guard Of Gomez
army in Matanzas and was defeated.
While soldiers under Melino were in
retreat, they met a group Of women
and children near little town called
Cayopino. AS the soldiers passed one
of the women made a sneering remark
about the Spaniards The remark was
overheard by the soldiers, and so en-.

ter says that the Spaniards, after shoot
ing down their victims, stabbed them
with bayonets, infiicting the most hor.
rible wounds. One baby was killed at
its mothers breast, and the bullet that
passed through the infant also passed
through the mother. Colonel Melinc
made no report Of the butchery, but il
happened that two Of the women mur.
dered were wives of Spaniards engaged
in the saw mill business in Matanzas.
When the husbands learned how thei,
loved ones had been slaughtered, they
wrote to Martinez de Campos, inform.

ished 1t is said that De Campos has
ordered that Melino be courtmartialed
and it is thought the butcher will be
condemned to death, as the massacre is
condemned as bitterly by Spaniards az
by Cubans.

VERY PRETTY. BUT CHEAP TALK.

The country is daily being assured of
late that turn has been taken by its
controlling economic conditions, and
that, perhaps the approaching revi-
val of business will be an unprece-
dented one, in which all the values
lately lost will be more than regained.
Everybody is to be prosperous and
happy.
Who is doing this fine talking? Does
it come from the late bankruptS. who
can be found in increasing numbers
| in every community from the Atlantic
to the Pacific? Is it the declaration
OF merchants and manufacturers who
have been facing failure for months
and months, or is it the coDcensus of
opinion coming up from the struggling
mechanics and idle wage workers of
the country?
No, the pretty talk comes from none
Of these sources. 1t is from the So
called men of affairs. members of the
late bond-purchasing syndicate, the
stock jobberS and money manipula-
tors of the great eastern centers, from
their brokers and agency publications.
If there are any such influences and
promises arising from new causes. they
are not understood by the country.
much less understood by its trade or
industries. The promised turn may
be taking place, and al these nice
assurances may materialize. but the
declarations would be more convincing
If from some other locality than Wall
street, from some other source than the
Pierpont MorganS and their coadju-
tors and satellites. In the face of 4
bastard tariff law that fails of either
protection, revenue or free trade; with
half of the metallic money of the coIn-

uonal issues of gold bonds 10 the tune

age. Ignoring the fact that it was
worth . per cent premium at the time
it was demonetized, and that there was
no cause under heaven for such an
act, except to enable the money kings
to corner gold, the only remaining re-
demption money, silver was surrepti
tiously legislated out of existence as a
legal standard. since which there has
been continuous cry TO depress it's
value as a commodity. 1t is beyond
question, part of the preconcerted
plan to keep it down as a money metal.
instructions have gone out from the
star-chamber councils, that the cry
must be kept up till by sheer force
of public opinion, gold will be recog
nized as the only suitable redemption
money of the world. The difference
between the opposing factions is, that
the monometallists have been engaged
for years, engaged In a relentless war
Oh silver, while the friends of silver
were even ignorant of the act of de-
moneiZation for years after it was
done. That they have succeeded in
swaying thousands from the rational
view Of It, it is not surprising. That
the price of silver bullion has gone
down under such increasing and merci-
less pounding, is but the natural oper-
alton of the law of cause and effect
The one fact to be emphasized now is
that there was nothing in the very In
ception Of this infamous demonetiza-
ton act but the Unsuitable greed of
the few who would control the real
money of the world When we con-
slider that the manipulation of this
diminutiye fraction OF the worlds cur
rency affects directly and infallibly,
the price of everything which the
world produces, then may we appre-
ciate the enormitiy of a law which
prohibits the use of silver. Then also
may we measure the avarice of those
who would bring millions to the verge
of starvation in order that they may
double and quadruple their colossal
fortunes.

A RED-NOSED SCAPEGOAT

Growing out Of the fact Of their
from any peculiar characteristics or
moral obliquity of their inhabitants,
respectively, two or three cities Of
Kansas have become the prohibition
scapegoats of the state. What at one
time was accepted by the general pub
lie as natural probability has become
a fixed conviction, riveted and clinched
by the unending punS and pokeS of the
newspapers. The idea prevails with
the people Of Kansas, generally speak
ing, that the prohibitory law without
an ''if'' nor "and'' is enforced in 70
peka and not in Wichita; that joints
abound i'll Leavenworth but not in
Kansas City; that drinks of all kinds
are openly procurable in Atchison but
not in Fort Scott; that nipS and bottles
are obtainable in Lawrence but not in
Emporia. And so, also, as TO the
other more prominent cities and towns
including Salina and Hutchinson, Ar
kansas City and Newton, Wellington.
and Winfield and the list all the way
down. It is all a seeming, kind of
prima facia case of angels here and
devils there case, when In fact they
are simply all Kansas people, of q
like human nature all around. AS to
the sale and drinking of liquors, only
in which is found the violation of the
prOhibitory law, one Kansas City is in
this respect little or no better than
another, the principal, if not the only
difference, being in the revenue or
nOn-revenue manner Of the traffic,
whether sold as Il medicine or as q
beverage, back of prescription cases
as i'll Topeka, or in fined-saloons as in
Leayenworth, or behind the blind of
a cigar joint as in Wichita The
crosS-road and village saloon no longer
exist in Kansas, and revenue from its
sale in Il majority of the states munich
palities is no longer collected, but
there is not Il dozen towns of 200 in
habitants and upwards in the state
where the prohibition law is enforced
in its true spirit, nor but few towns.
however small, in which the law is not
persistently violated. Ell Dorado, a
place Of 5000 people, the county-seat
of Butler, is Il temperance town of
consistency, its people having
bolted a Republican state ticket on
that account even before the days of
prohibition, yet it would be foolish
TO assert that the law is not violated
secretly if not frequently in FL Dor
ado. Nevertheless, so far as the state
of Kansas is concerned. its newspapers
and politicians. Wichita is the red |
nosed scapegoat preeminent for the |
solemn expiation of the whole blear- |
eyed, pot-bellied army of bum-masquer-
aders, fitted only to be loaded wit |
imprecations, dishorned ana mutiiated |
and sent shorn and disgraced into the |
wilds Of some wilder wilderness.

JUDGE HORIZONS RESIGNATION

Kansas has met with few greater
political surprises than the resigna-
ton Of Chief Justice Horton. 1t was
a wholly unexpected event and one
that was heard with almost universal
regret In his eighteen years on the
supreme bench he has established n
widespread reputation as being one of
the sOundest jurists of the west, a
number of his opinions having been
reviewed and commended by law
writers for their comprehensive grasp,
legal clearnesS and unquestionable GER
titude. OF course Judge Horton is not
going to retire from the active duties
Of his profession. The chances are
that he quit the bench not from any
dislike Of the duties and response
bilities Of the position but because of
the inadequate salary for a man of his
attachments. So far as dollars and
cents are concerned he can command
five times the pay he has been re-
ceiving. However the good wishes
and esteem Of the people of Kansas go
with him into whatever may be his
new field

German professor, Nordau, is having
a boom. In it he sets out TO establish
the observation that the tastes of civil
iZation are constantly being lowered.
as Il fact
He accuses the artists. the musicians
and the writers of the present time
Of the single ignoble purpose OF no.
toriety. He points out the trend of
contradiction of nature and natural
expectations. and the rebellion against
simplicity. Wagner. he says. does
nothing more than lead the auditor
along gently in a number of sequential
chords, and then contradicts his ex-
pectations and anticipation by some
unusual and unexpected discord. The
popular writers in their books depart

causes in effects for the single pur-
pose of thwarting any imaginative So
luton of the story. and waylaying and
sagging al anticipations OF the de-
movement OF the plot The stage. Of
