 The postoffice department had the mat ter investigated resulting in the arrest of Black and his daughter and also San ders, charging them with conspiracy to defraud.
 A case also stands against Black for embezzlement in the commissioners court.

The people are nearly all of one way of thinking, and they are thinking of Bryan and Sewall and free silver and good times. They are shooting from O dead rest for more hog and hominy, and better clothes. and better victuals, and better cooking, and better horses, and better buggies, and better wagons and more spending money. They want to be mora liberal and reduce their indebtedness and pay the preacher better and have more Santa Claus this Christmas.

CORN AND COAL.

For the first time in their history, Min nesota and South Dakota will consume corn for fuel the coming winter. Far mers all through Iowa and states south of it will do the same, but the use of grain for fuel is not new to them. The high prices of coal, averaging at least $2 a ton more than a year ago, are respon- sible for this action A medium grade of soft coal now costs in the country towns anywhere from $4.75 to $5.25, while an- thracite is held at from $9.50 to S11. ac- cording to the freights and the distance of the buyer from competing coal deal CTS, the latter item being a very import ant one It Is claimed that corn, selling at not more than II cents bushel, is much cheaper than either variety of coal, besides being handler and eleaner.-Min- neapolis Journal
 The above from the Journal should be a satisfactory answer to the inquiry as to how the states mentioned in 1t are going on the Sd day of November.

JOHN G. CARLISLE

According to my view of the sub- ject, the conspiracy which seems to have been formed here and in Europe to destroy by legislation and other wise from three e-sevenths to one-half of the metallic money of the world. is the most gigantic crime of this or any other age. The consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilence and fam inc that ever occurred in the history of the world. The absolute and in- stantaneous destruction of half the movable property of the world. in- cluding horses, ships railroads and A II other appliances for carrying on com merce, while 1t would be felt more sensibly at the moment, would not produce anything like the prolonged distress and disorganization of socie- ty that must inevitably result from the permanent annihilation of one half of the metallic money of the world."- c.

ILNCOLN'S PROPHESY.

I see in the near future a crisis ap- preaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever be- fore, even in the midst of war. God grant my suspicious may prove grOundleSS.

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

'No people, in great emergency, ever found faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break, it has no friend it does not betray. Armies and na- Vies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, it becomes the agency and minister of ruin No na- tion ever fought great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary, in the crisis of the great peril 1t becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the field, but when the battle has been won and peace secured. gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory"

 Indianapolis, Oct. 9.-The middle of the road populist state ticket was filed with the governor yesterday.

It is believed that all probability of fusion is now ended, but there still re- mains until next Wednesday for some sort of fusion on the electoral ticket in- dependent of the state ticket The mid- dle of the road leaders hope, however, to have the straight-out set of electoral can- didates recognized as the genuine elect orS.
