ADMITTED AT LAST.

The facts of the current commercial
and financial situation are too much
for the most reckless craftsmanship Just
now. Even the Minneapolis Tribune,
which has been telling us for a long
time that all prosperity past and to
tariff, allows the truth to be extracted
from 1t without single Shrek Of pain.
The Tribune has an editorial which
explains truly and intelligently the
movement Of gold in this direction. It
notes that whereas the balance Of trade
in 1895 was $780, 600 against us, II is
already nearly $1Oe, 900 in our favor
in the first eight months of the year.
Why are these things thus? The
Tribune and it's kind have contended
for years past that the balance Of trade
depends entirely upon the percentage
Of tariff. With big duty on imports,
the balance of trade, they declared,
would be in our favor; and every re-
duction of that duty tended to turn 1t
against us. They have told us also
that the most disastrous consequence
of Democratic rule was what they
pleased to call Deliberate free trade"
Putting this and that together, namely,
that free trade makes hostile trade
balance, that Eve show have Demo
cratic free trade" and that we also
have trade balance changed marve-
lousy in our favor, we begin to OBJ
serve that there is something rotten in
Denmark. The explanation does not
fit the facts. In this dilemma the Tri
bune .disregards the preposterous pre-
lenses of partisanship, and states the
obvious, undeniable fact
There will never be a reliably healthy
condition Of affairs until we learn to live
more economically and that lesson is being
taught by dire adversely.
When 1t is sufficiently inculcated to keep
gold flowing from Europe to u.s. instead of
the reverse, and we have in addition
settled sound money policy we can hope
for greater prosperity than the country has
ever seen before"
That is the exact size of it. Econ

How 1t Is Preparing to Go Into the
Peoples Pocket.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Let me hit the head of the coal combination
a blow, as you properly suggest, that some
one should. 1t needs several blows, and If
lead possibly others will follow.
It was evident all through the summer that
there were plottings and caucuses among
the coal magnates to devise how much the
traffic could be made to yield this year, how
much the public would stand, how much coal
money the people had in their pockets, and
how the proceeds of the seasons coal crop
should be divided as between the mine own
ers, the transportation companies and the
local men. While the great body of the I'M
suspecting people of st. Paul mopped their
faces during the dog days, these magnates
met In their back Offices and figured Figured
on how hard a squeeze to put and won
dered how much the public would patiently
stand They finally settled on 1885 per ton.
Some wanted to make it $S.3715. but the for
mer figures won in the final wind-up.
Seriously now, what be done in such
case? The general principle of law Is that
the interests of the public are supreme over
those of the individual or corporation, and
that where they come in conflict the latter
must give way. 1t is this ground that the
right of eminent domain takes mans land
demand it. AS said, the right, or. apparent
right, Of the individual must give way to the
general welfare.
Now, let us apply that principle to the coal
question. that, as President Cleveland says,
"confronts" us.
Coal is almost as necessary to the people
of this climate as air and water. No man
nor combination OF men would be allowed to
choke off the people in the matter of air, nor
cause them to perish from thirst, and the
question arises as to whether the coal mag
mates ought to be allowed to freeze the peo-
pie to death.

no 'lawless" invasion by federal au-
thority Of the soil of any state The
troops of the United STAGES were sent
to Illinois by the president of the
United States in pursuance of law OF
the United States then and now on the
statute books. They went there to
protect the mails OF the United States
from obstruction and possible confisca-
ton by mob violence, against which
the governor of Illinois declined to take
measures Therefore, the arbitrary
interference" which the Chicago plat
form talks of is not an Interference
with any law or institution of state,
but is an interference with riot, arson
and murder by unlawful assemblages
of violent men, and it's denunciation
implies sympathy with their purposes
and their acts
Mr.. Bryan has never dared for one
moment confess the truth, or refer to
the actual meaning of this plank in
his platform. Now, at this late day,
he is shameless enough to come for
ward with a comparison which is more
contemplate than an open falsehood,
because it is intended to use the sem
blance of truth to receive the ignorant
and to win votes by the infamous COM
parison of Abraham Lincoln and his
position With Anarchist Altgeld and
his. Mr.. Bryan has reached the lowest
point of his decline and fall in this
shameful and impotent effort to de-
ceive the honest and law-abiding vot-
ers of this country.

chase the coal mines. These are ours. We
paid our money for them; we are. going to
fix the price Of the product to suit our own
pockets, and now what are you going to do
about it," II you press the question, they
repeat the remark of Vanderbilt about the
people.
Now, let us see about the law OF eminent
domain and the public welfare. IL the public
welfare will take a farmers house or barn
or orchard from him and give it to a railroad
corporation, could 1t not take a coal mine
from an unfeeling owner and place 1t In the
hands OF government agent for the benefit
OF suffering humanity? OF course, the farmer
is allowed reasonable compensation for bis
loss and SO should the coal mine owner be.

COMMISSION IN KANSAS CITY.
Continuation OF the Investigation
Begun at Chicago.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept 24-The
Interstate Commerce commission con-
vened here today and continued it's
Investigation into the reconsignment
of Atlantic seaboard shipments now In
vogue in Kansas City, with a view OF
determining whether it is legal and
carried on in good faith by the rail-
roads. ~
The whole trouble local grain men
assert is simply the outgrowth Of an
eninity of Omaha against Kansas City,
engendered by the fact that the latter
city Is an open market, while Omaha
Is not. ]. A. Monroe, freight traffic
manager Of the Union Pacific, explained
the reconsignment method and emphati-
cally denied any discrimination in the
matter of rates or preferences to any
consigner or consignee. He denied that
his road had anything to do with Omaha
being an open market.

"YIA MANITnWaC.y

On several occasions since the pro-
posed construction of a branch line of
the Wisconsin Central to the lake at
value to the Northwest and especially
to the Twin Cities 1t is now complet-
ed, and the car ferry system of trans
porting loaded trains over Lake Michi-
gan, to connect at Ludington with the
Flint & Pere Marquette line for the
East, is in operation. This shortens
materially the haul, and is the nearest
possible approach to an air line be-
tween these cities and the Atlantic sea-
board. 1t brings into play as a COM
petitive force the navigation of the
lake, always a governor Of freights
where it's effects can be felt, and
helps to relieve our jobbing trade
as we'll as our millers from their
that center in Chicago. 1t is ex-
empt from the effects of winter on lake
navigation over the Superior route, for
the ferries will make their trips all
Of the lake.
The effect of this new outlet is al
ready felt and was described In the
Gil o b e of Wednesday. The new tariff
ondwestbound freights was announced
to the trade and shows a cut Of IA
cents a hundred on first, and a proper
Tomato reduction ON otner classes of
freight coming from New York, Phila-
delphia or Baltimore. Our reporter
found the jobbers in state of "unlin-
tied joy" over the new arrangement,
an exuberance of statement, doubtless,
but that they felt a deep satisfaction
would be statement safely within
limits. What reduction of Ia cents on
hundred pounds means, when the
freightage Of years trade is aggre-
gated, is not to be sensed from the
bald statement One must know the
millions of TONS of merchandise that
annually come to the Twin Cities for
distribution, in order to be able to
grasp the full significance. One can
then understand the reason Of the
unlimited joy of the men who pay
these freights in the first instance
So far the reduction is on westbound
freights, but 1t must extend to those
bound east. The same force that
caused this cut, the desire to get bust
ness, will operate to win the carriage
of our produce east by the same
means, for it is true of produce in tran
sit, as it is of motion, that it runs on
the lines of least resistance, and re-
sistance with it is cost Of carriage. A
year ago our correspondent, writing
from Manitowoc and noting the I'M
familiarity Of ourt business men then
with the name, predicted that 1t would
not be long before they would be or
dering their purchases shipped west
"via Manitowoc," and we now predict
that it will not belong before our ship
pers of produce east will be marking
their freight bills the same. The re-
ception of the event by our Jobbers
shows that we did not underestimate
the value to this Northwest of the new
opening.

IVORY ARRAIGNED.
Case Adjourned Before Decision
Was Reached.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-E,dward j. ivory
alias Edward Bell the New York sa-
loonkeeper, who was recently arrested
at Glasgow. charged with being con-
nected with the alleged dynamite con-
spiracy of which p. j. p. lyman is
said to be the moving spirit was: ar
raigned at Bow street police court to-
day. G. F. Gill, who appeared for the
treasury department, said that the
prisoners real name was Ivory and
charged him with conspiring with Ty-
nan, Kearney and Haines, to cause
dynamite explosions in the United
Kingdom, and also with aiding and
abetting dynamite offenses.
Mr. Gill claimed that the four men
mentioned left New York in August,
and said that it was quite clear that
they were supplied with money sent to
this country by a Fenian organization
in New York for the purpose Of going
to Antwerp, preparing bombs and
dynamite and then securing men in
London or Glasgow, to explode them.
| Continuing Mr. Gill said that the date
| OF September Is had been fixed upon
as the time when they contemplated
! that the last step of the conspiracy
| would be contaminated. Ivory, Mr..
| Gill added, left New York on August
| 10. reached Southampton on August 20.
! and proceeded to London, his special
| duty being to interview persons con-
| sidered likely to be willing to engage
| in the crimes proposed. The prosecutor
! gave the dates of the different NOV
! ments of the men in Great Britain, and
| on the Continent, saying that they en-
| ployed cipher code in communicating
with each other. Later Mr.. Gill read
letters sent by lyman to Ivory and
| those sent by Ivory to lyman
Mr.. Gill further said that on Septem-
| Der IL, Kearney and HaineS, who were
| at Antwerp, concluded they were being
| Swallowed and telegraphed Ivory to
come right away, as the business was
! stopped Ivory objected and pointed
out how he would disappoint his friends
| if he returned to America without con-
| Guiding the business. "A long letter to
lyman was also read, in which Ivory
charged lyman with hugging the shores
! of France too much, and not forward
/ ing the cause enough.
The prosecution then gave the details
| Of the arrest Of Ivory, who he added,
claimed he was an American journalist.
| Mr.. Gill stated that Internal machines
| of a new pattern were found in the pos
session Of Kearney and Haines when
/ they were arrested. The formal evil
! dence of the arrest of Ivory was then
presented After evidence had been
furnished of meetings between Ivory
| and his alleged fellow conspirators at
Antwerp the case was adjourned until
| tomorrow.

Tonight will see one OF the great
gatherings of the campaign, in the
sound money rally that will be held at
the auditorium. The veterans who are
TO speak there include both Democrats
and Republicans. They have spoken
in many cities of the country, and last
night at Duluth a great audience lis
tened to them with marked approval
and ready enthusiasm. While we may
not agree with all that these gentle
men have to offer to the voter as ad-
vice, we are at least heartily in sym
pathy with the cause of sound money,
which is first and foremost in their
campaign. There will doubtless be, as
there ought to be, a big turnout at
the auditorium to listen to arguments
in the cause that has so far sunk party
differences on both sides this year. and
that overshadows all others in it's pres
ent importance

A POPULAR MOVEMENT.

Deep Interest IN the South In the Chicago
and Southern States Icxposition--Feso
luton Adopted by the Augusta (Ga.)
Provisional Committee.
AUGUSTA, Ca, Feb. 10.-The Augusta
provisional committee OF the Chicago
and Southern States exposition has
adopted the following:
Resolved, That In addition TO the delegates
provided for In the southern cities, as sug-
gested and agreed upon by the mayor and
council OF Chicago, the governors OF the south
ern states be authorized ana requested to ap-
point three, delegates-at- from each state.
to represent the agricultural, manufacturing,
mining, commercial and railroad interests OF
the south In the convention called to meet al
Chicago on the 18th inst, and that the gov
ernor be requested GO accompany his delega-
tion.
There will be avery large attend
ance of manufacturers and citizens
generally from this section Of Georgia
and South Carolina at the meeting in
Chicago on the 10Th. The Augusta
committee is receiving assurances every
day of very general and very deep in
terest on the part of the south in it's
exposition.
One of the popular features of the
opening will be three-days encamp-

GOLD DEPOSITS.

How the Story of the Rejection of Gold
by Treasury Oficials Came About.
New YORK, Feb. 10. The deposits of
gold in the subtreasury yesterday in
payment for bonds, were So, 740, ,524 Is.
In addition considerable gold was de-
posted for examination. The report
that the subtreasury had rejected gold
arose in this way: For some time past
a bullion dealer on Wall street has
been turning in legal tenders for
gold and selling the gold at a
premium. Yesterday he presented
$sOO,Oo0 legal tenders and with
drew the same amount of gold. Five
hundred thousand dollars in gold was
Immediately turned into the bond de-
partment. On the second transaction
of $500, 900 he secured the gold in bags
and gave it to the clerks of the firms
who had subscribed for the new four
per cent. bonds and who had accom-
panied him to the subtreasury. 1t was
then that Assistant Treasurer Jordan
objected to having the subtreasury
used as an annex to a bullion brokers'
Office. The dealers in question made
charges of favoritism against Mr.. Jor-
dan, but the pith of his argument lies
IN the fact that he did not care TO cart
the gold from the subtreasury and
then bring it back. Probably such a
course would reduce the insignificant
profit he secures by selling government
gol1 withdrawn through the agency
of legal tenders.

The Vessel Doomed, and Little Chance for
any OF Her Crew.
NEwBURYPoRT, Mass, Feb. 10.-The
three e-masted schooner Florida, of New
York, went ashore yesterday afternoon
on Salisbury beach. When first OBJ
served by two Seabrook fishermen,
seven men were seen on the schooner.
They attempted to launch boat, but
II was smashed to pieces in the terrific
seas. The men then took to the rig
ging and lashed themselves to the main
and mizzen masts.
There is no life-saving station at
Salisbury beach, the nearest one being
at Plum island; but the Merrimac river
separates them and there Is no means
OF communication except via Newbury-
port.
The telephone station is three miles
distant, and to this point one of the
fishermen hastened. He communi-
Gated with this city and the station at
Plum island was notified.
Shortly after eight o'clock tho life
savers started TO throw life line to
the Inflated vessel, but owing TO dark
ness and the heavy wind no definite
aim could be taken.
About nine o'clock one body was
washed ashore and shortly afterwards
second body was observed in the
surf. At 10 o'clock the life-savers were
endeavoring to get line over TO the
vessel and they will continue their Of
forts through the night in the hope Of
rescuing the five men who are sup
posed to be ON the schooner. 1t ia
highly probable, however, that al
have perished.
