Claim OF A. p. As.

OMAHA, Aug. 18.-It now looks as If a
conflict is inevitable between the Omaha
police force and the A. p. A. faction,
which claims authority under recent
law to appoint new police force. Indica-
tions were that compromise was prob
able, but the efforts to persuade the
A. p. A. to submit the controversy to the
supreme court were Of no avail. The
A. p. AS are appointing their force, and
claim that they will take possession Of the
city property by force tomorrow.

LID Panama Oannl.

The fact that the French com pauy in
charge of the Panama canal enterprise
has now 1900 men at work and is ger-
ting 1000 more wcrkmen in the West
Indies, with the intention of increasing
it's working force ultimately to 6. 600,
must to some extent affect the minds of
intending investors in any competing
isthmain enterprise. Some publicists
estimate the total Of traffic likely to
raver the isthmus at under 500, 900
tons. which would hardly pay good
interest on an investment of Sl33 OO0,-
0q0, the latest estimate for one canal,
10 say nothing OF two canals. That g
serious effort ia being made to complete
the Panama canal hardly admits longer
of dispute.
The New York Evening Post has re-
ceived information which 1t "considers
t~rutworthy" that "she money to finish
the work Oh the present plan has all
been Pledged" and that the French
company's managers expectth the Panama
cansl to be completed some time in
1901. Tie work is being done quietly
on a strictly business basis, with tho
idea that the Panama route, being
much shorter than the Nicaragua route,
will inevitably get the bulk OF the
trans-isthmian traffic.

WHILE the new South Carolina con-
stitution may not be a perfect piece of
legislation in all respects, the section
providing that counties in which lynch
ings occur, and sheriffs who permit
them, are liable to, heavy damages to
the families of the men lynched, will DO
very much to suppress this terrible spe.
cies of lswlessness in that State. The
penalty for the crime of lynching, which
is nothing less than murder. is death on
conviction in almost every State Of the
Uuion; but conviction is we'll nigh i'm
possible in ninety-nine out of q hundred
cases, sni SO such a law is virtually OF
no effect in many communities. Where
the sheriffs ana tho communities are
held liable in heavy %pecuniary damages
there will be moro watchfulness on all
sides, with, OF course, o better chance
for the law against the prisoner to take

JAPANESE COMPOSITIONS.

The extraordinary development OF
manufacturing industry in Japan, and
of the export trade OF Japanese MANI
features is beginning. we are glad to
say, to attract the attention that it de
serves. The New YORK Economist, re-
ferring to the general subject, remarks
that the monaco from the East has
"awakened considerable alarm" Brit
ish spinnerB and cloth producers have
already severely felt the effect Of COM
petition of this kind, and thoughtful
observers in the United States have
commenced to view the situation with
considerable anxiety" The situa-
ton is alarming because $50 low
are wages in Oriental countries that it
would be entirely impossible for the
workers of our civilization to compete
with the worse than pauper labor of
Asia"
Yes; a good Japanese workman can
be hired for Is cents @ day to do and do
we'll the work for which on American
is psid So so o day in q Philadelphia
mill. When the Japanese produc.
comes into this market, as come 1t will
(some of 1t is here now, what will the
American do? Multiply the highest
duties in the Mckinley tariff by ten,
and still the cheap labor will override
the barrier. The Economist thinks it
perceives q CLEAN of hope in the con-
viction that Japanese wages will ad-
vance Ia not that rather q slender
bssis upon which to build expectation
that we shall be able successfully to
meet this competition?
There is one defense, and one only.
Why is japan making such marvellous
strides forward? Because the demone-
liz stion of silver and the consequent
appreciation OF gold has given enormou
stimulation to her industries. Remone-
tie silver, establish b%imetnllism, and
the advantages possessed by Japan will
instantly disappear. There is no other
defense for US. Neglect this one, and
we shall soon nave for our m~anufac-
turers competition from the East, COM

THERE Is A DIFFERENCE.

The city Of Blueheld has many adj
vautages ovar Roanoke in the way OF
fuel. For instance, a firm in that city
advertises Pocshontas nut coal st SO. S5
per ton, 'deliverd. Hero we are required
to pay 81 so for a ton of the same coal,
making q difference OF 81 G5. Why this
great difference should exist is hard to
conjecture. as it requires the same
amount of handling to deliver q ton in
Bluefeld as itdoss in Roanoke with the
bare exception of the wear and tear of
q gondols while %traversing the distance
between the two cities and the cost of
running the train.
BY figuring it will be found that a
train containing thirty-three cars OF
coal OF twenty tons each at Sl.65 per
ton will amount to 81, O95 more than the
price received for the same quantity of
coal in Blue6eld; or, in other words, if
this difference OF price Is brought about
by difference in freight rates between
he coal fields and Blue6eld and this
3ity, the Norfolk ind Western receives
l1,o95 more for running g trsin OF
ihirty-three cars to Roanoke than for
cunning it to Bluefeld.

REDWOOD IN 1868.

wood Falls in the spring OF
1868, the inhabitants of the
town numbered only about 80
families, besides the Indians of
whom there was aboutan equal
number. They spent the sum-
mer in rowing about, fishing
and hunting, and in winter
many of them put up their te-
pees in the vicinity of VIM.
Crouley's present dwelling.
There had been few months
of school during the winter of
81, but no more was held until
two years later when the first
school house was built and
school again began with an en-
rollment of about forty pupils.
The public buildings were
one hotel, a postofice and two
stores. The hotel was a ~
story building 16x24 with Jas.
Mcmillan as proprietor.
There were two small variety
stores-one a branch store of
Behnke Bros. of New Ulm; the
other consisted mostly of In
dian supplies. There was no
court house then. All that
marked our public square,
where the court house now
stands, was liberty pole. The
county officers had no offices,
excepting their private dwell
ings, the county treasurer US
ually making his collections at
one of the stores. Court was
held in any building that could
be conveniently secured.
A small saw mill stood at
the falls; most of the houses
built here at that time were
made from lumber rnanufac-
tured by that mill from the ma
tive hard wood. The black
smith shop, managed by John
Thomas, stood then about
where it does now.
T Our first Touring mill was
completed and began work in
the fall of 1868, managed and
owned by Wordel & Ruter.
A great many new families
arrived in the fall of 1868. The
Presbyterian was the only
church organization here at
that time. There was no
church building to worship in,
but meetings were held'in the
upper part of AN old. building
that stood where Thompson's
building now stands, on Sec
ond street. The pastor was
Rev. Mr.. Hall, who, with his
wife, lived in the lower part of
the same building.
At that time Redwood peo-
pie could not step aboard a
train at any time and travel
any distance desired, for there
was no railroad nearer than Lee
Sueur, a distance of 80 miles.
The only mode of transporta-
ton was the stage, there being
a line from Redwood to New
Ulm, which made two trips per
week, and which was conduct
ed by Thos. Mcmillan, the pres
ent Superintendent of the State
Soldiers Home.
DIR. Hitchcock, whose, family
reside here at the present time,
was the only doctor, while Col.
McPhail, who founded the town
was the only lawyer.
We heard RAILROAD" talked
of for a long time before it
came. It appeared on July 4,
1878, when the first train of
cars Numbered into Redwood!
Since that time our town has
very steadily been coming to
the front, and now, with our
fine brick buildings, including
the court house, school build
ing, Jail, brick blocks. and fine
dwelling houses, beautiful seem
cry and shade trees, and all the
improvements added since that
time, we have a thriving city of
nearly two thousand inhabi-
tants. AN OLD SETTLER.
