Senator Teller of Colorado, con-
tinues to be thorn in the flesh to
the Republicans of the body to
which he belongs. He blurted out
in full Senate few weeks ago that
they secured the control of the COM
aittees of that body by a bargain
with the Populisss and the free-sil-
yer men. He has followed this up
the present week by sending another
shot into their ranks. In this last
he has told them that their professed
attempt ut tariff legislation Is only
buncombe, and given notice that
he, rs member of the party, cam
not be relied on to aid in carrying
it out. Senator Teller does not
mean to be party to devices to de-
ceive the people, and his frankness
on this point IS 70 his credit.-Eos-

NIX. LANE ON THE COTTON
CROP.

Before the convention recently
held in Memphis by the American
Cotton Growers Protective associa-
ton Mr.. Hector D. Lane, president
of that influential body, delivered a
very able annual address. He said
over-production of cotton would
surely result disastrously to the pso-
pie of the Southern States, whereas
4 decrease in the acreage of the
f1eezy staple with corresponding
increase in the production of other
crops, principally those consumed
at home, would make the cotton
producer prosperous. and the people
in general would be the beneficiaries.
Mr.. Lane said that this movement
to reduce the cotton acreage will
have to be accomplished as all other
great movements, through indie
pendent, individual action, stimu-
lated by intelligent argument. He
is of the opinion that if previous
conditions continue and the cotton
planters persist in producing a
3, 600, ooo-bale surplus, they will
make of themselves the willing VIC
Tins of the setricks and devices laid
by cunning and INSCRIPTIONS men. %
Mr.. Lane considers a surplus dan
gerous weapon placed in the hands
of the cotton tsbear." A small crop
puts in motion the laws of supplies
and demands, while over-produc-
ton fosters manipulation. 1t is es-
timated that the sum of $500, 900,
600 is annually spent for cotton
goods. According to Mr.. Lanes
idea consumers will pay that amount
for a $500, bale crop, but for a
10000, ooo-bale crop not cent more
will be expended. If the crop 1:
large the consumer makes the price
and if it is short the cotton-produce,
is the one to fix the price. This i:
undeniably true to a certain extent.
Mr.. Lane suggests that the only
safe and practical way is the judi
cious decrease of acreage, say of AZ
per cent, and an increase in foo6
crops. He cites the last season n
an object lesson to illustrate the re
suit Of decreased acreage. AS an
other lesson he mentions tn,
year I84s. The average pric'
Of that year was $50. Th'
production was decreased til,
following year by general con
sent about 9 per cent. and IL
consequence the price rose to 1877,
I Like all practical farmers Mr.
Lane believes that everything tina
can be made at home should not b,
bought. His doctrine is plant les

TT CANNOT WIN.

N. ~. states.
If we saw the least indication that
this combination would defeat Gov.
Foster and the Democratic party we
should feel indeed respondent over
the future of Louisiana. But the
combine, ludicrous in its aspirations
and repulsive in its associations,
cannot win. 1t was born with the
sardonic grin of death on Its pinched
and hideous visage. The incongru-
Gus elements cannot be held to-
gether. The negro has too fully cut
his eye-teeth to trust throng of
planters who have so often driven
him from the polls or forced him to
vote at their dictation or counted
out his votes. The negro, in our
opinion, is not fitted to exercise the
elective franchise; but he is not an
idiot, and he knows all about, and
appreciates, at its just value, the
sympathy the sugar planter has for
his Interest. The Pop is equally
distrustful of the wealthy planter
who wears ttbiled shirt" and store
clothes, and is seeking only boun-
ty, which the Pop must be bled to
help pay; and finally the planter dis
trusts both the niger and the Pop.
He knows that if the negroes are
permitted to exercise their own free
will, every one of them IN the State
would vote for social equality and
negro supremacy, and he knows that
ures which would destroy the
settled order of business and
property and bring ruin on
every interest and industry. But
elements could be held together
they cannot defeat the united Deu.-
ocratic party, and the Democratic
party is united as it has not before
been united in twenty years. Capt.
Pharr or Mr.. Pugh may head this
Heterogeneous mob of planters and
niggers and PoPulists; but his re-
ward, whichever he may be, will be
ignominious defeat and he will be
elected only to the post OF the
laughing stock of the State. Let
them review the history of the po.
litical campaigns in which it has
been sought to give respectabil,ty
to the niger and carpet-bag party,
and they will see their own fate pre-.
figured. Even with James G.
Blaine at the head of the Republi.
can party, the most brilliant, mag.
netic and popular of the Rcpubli.

The prospects of the Republican

mocracy of this State was about to
slip. But 10 /! the Democratic vic.
tory was complete. The Republi.
cans were whipped out horse, foo,
and dragons. And that is what j.
going to happen in this election.
We shall take infinite pleasure in
writing the political downfall of thi.
ridiculous combine and the political
obituary of its leader whether he BIZ

THAT ExRcUxAR..

aa z1zAx O8A( OzAt9l9ess
We have been shown ! circular'
which is being distributed among
she voters TO show the position
taken by Mr.. Julian Mouton On the
suffrage question when q member
of the House Of Representatives.
The circular shows, as stated In the
Elan letter, that Mr.. Mouton voted
With - other members of the House
TO submit the question to the people
and that 9 members voted against
submission. This shows exactly
what Mr.. Mouton has said:
That he believed it was question
to be decided by the people alone;
That they should be consulted
about a law that concerned them 30
much;
That they had a right to express
their opinion in the matter;
That they had right to be heard
and say il they did not want qaali-
fication of the suffrage.
Mr.. Mouton did not vote for the
amendment, but, despite all that
has been said, he voted to sx6ssI the
qxesfios to tie pe1pk.
We do not think that anything
could have been done by the friends
Of Mr.. Mouton to strengthen that
gentleman with the people. for in a
republic it has never been consider
ed crime to submit any question
to the people for solution. We be-
lieve that Jefferson, the father OF
American Democracy, had unlim-
tied confidence in the virtue and in
telligence of the voters and Jackson
always trusted the masses. but ac-
cording to. the s:latter day saints
in Lafayette parish the sage of Mon
ticello and Old Hickory were
wrong, for owing to the political
bible of our Googoo friends, our
representative, Mr.. Mouton, COM
mitted a serious crime because he
voted to submit the question of suf-
frage to the people.
It may not be out Of order to
state, however, that Mr.. Mouton
succeeded in killing the Benoit cleo
ton bill by which it was intended
to impose an educational qualifica-
ton on the voter. If that bill had
passed the General Assembly man
who cannot read or write would not
have been able to vote in April. II
seems to US that our representative
should not be blamed for having
killed a bill which would have dis
our people.

DEAR SIR:-As it is now settled be-
yOnd all question that Mai. Mckinley
has been elected by very handsome
plurality, congratulations are in order
and we send greetings to yourself and
the friends who have assisted in bring.
ing such gratifying results about.
Already is business showing the in
huence OF the return of confidence:
more orders for goods yesterday and
today than for any two days for long
time, and large portion of them
mail orders.
Let US be thankful that we have
gotten out from under the cloud of
doubt and hesitation that has hung
over US for months like great pail or
a glantic nightmare, paralyizing and
almost destroying the business OF the
country, and now that confidence is
once more being restored, let us oush
forward to, as far as possible during
the few weeks that remain To MS of
this year, redeem our business show
ing for 1896.
knowing you will do your best to
accomplish this, and with best wishes
for your success, / am

THE SNOW STORM.
EFFECTS ON THE RAILROADS
ENTERING rlANKATO.
The Fall of the Beautiful Is General
Over the NorthweSt-Twof feet deep
i'm South Dakota-Trains not yet
Seriously Delayed.

Up to Tuesday, about an inch
of light snow had fallen. Beginning
at daylight, the snow began to fall
steadily, in large, damp flakes, and
has continued without intermission
all day. At two o'clock this afternoon
eight inches had fallen in this city
since morning. No wind has blown to
drift the snow, and it is so damp that
the sleighing will be excellent, the
frozen ground forming good founda-
tion. All kinds of vehicles came out
on runners during the forenoon, and
for the first time in sixteen years the
best of sleighing is enjoyed by Nov.
10th.
During the winter of 1880 81, snow
fell Oct. 10th and never passed OF I'M
til spring. Old residents will always
remember how deep the snow be-
came that winter, and what high
water followed in the rivers in April.
The storm has been general
over the Northwest, according to re-
ports at the depots. There has been
no drifting, and the running of trains
has not been materially interfered
with.
The 1:22 p. m. train on the Omaha
road was an hour late, and the freight
trains were a little delayed. The
snow is general over the system, and
everywhere about the same as here.
The Milwaukee main line trains are
not delayed much. B tween Bryan
and Bristol, S. D., two feet of snow
has fallen. Between Wells, Mimi,
and Madison, Wis, from six to ten
inches has fallen.
Trains on the Chicago & North
western road are only few moments
late.
On the Minneapolis & St. Louis
road, heavier fall of snow is reported
east of here. Trains are not delayed.
The telegraph and telephone wires
are heavily coated, and if the weather
turns colder and wind springs up,
much damage may result to wires and
poles.
AS soon as the snow ceases to fall,
all citizens should get out with their
shovels and clean their walks, both in
front Of stores and residences. There
are many strangers in the city who
will be impressed by our tidiness.
Good Sleighing with the advancing
prices, and wheat at Y cents, will
make business boom in Mankato this
fall and winter

HAS OUR SYMPATHY.

Mr.. Robert Roberts has received
the following letter from Mr.. J. A

of this city:
FRIEND ROBERTS:-ln sack cloth

That we have been great sinners ]
will not at this time deny. But that
our punishment should be a Populist
governor four years to come and a
legislature for two is, 1 protest, too
much for even so vile sinners as us.
Especially does this seem so, when
nearly all our old friends are rejoicing
over their glorious victory.
In short, this state has gone fusion,
elected full state ticket, including
the two congressman, and the next
legislature will elect a Pop. u. S.
senator. 1t is of little consolation to
live in precinct that gave Mckinley
3 to l, or a ward that gave him 2 to l,
when the city gave majority for
Bryan-let that majority be ever so
small. You see, times have been hard
