Linton Rep) for congress on Nov..3..
Linton was the favorite son Of the A. p.
A. Most Of their organs actually trotted
him out for president, chiefly on the score
Of his attack on the Indian appropriation

Pere Marquette statue.
We'll. the Pere Marquette statue is still
in the capitol, but where, oh where. is
Linton?
I OF course, the party must do something
for Linton. We suggest to Maj. Mckinley
that Linton be sent as consul to Liberia.
Saginaw, Mich, does not seem to want him
any more, and we do not know OF any other
place for him. We Imagine he would not
be objected to by Liberia, as his record Is
not known there.

ENGLISH JUSTICE.

Commenting upon the cases of Ivory and
lyman, the United Ireland says:
The conduct Of the English government
toward Ivory, whom the criminals OF Scot
land Yard are trying to victimize. is cow
arlly and unjust in the extreme. From
the very first moment that English detec-
tives stirred up this dynamite scare for
their own purposes it was generally felt
that it was fake and that the presence
Of the parties arrested in Europe was by
no means a proof that they were the vii
famous conspirators English detectives
would make them out to be. Nothing has
so far been alleged against Ivory that
could not be alleged with ten-fold the ,ap-
pearanee OF guilt against lyman and the
others with whom he is supposed to have
associated.
& Yet they have been sent away to Amer
cha, no evidence that they. were dynamiters
being forthcoming Of q sufficient character
to punish them. And here is the English
government, which we are wont to hear
extolled for its justice, doing its level best
to bring home guilt to Ivory in order that
the dishonest bungling Of Scotland Yard
may not forever throw suspicion on the
doitgs Of that institution. .z-
It is right and Just to punish the dyna-
mitard, but that Is one thing, and arrest
Ing him on ground.essi suspic zion, and then
tarinp weeks upon weeks to prove him

when the great Achilles. set the example,
1t will be remembered that he did 1t be-
cause Of the death Of his friend. Patroclus.

Reed is different, for his friend, Major
Mckinley, is not only not worsted but

Guilty in discovering that Thomas B. Reed
Of Maine, has some show Of reason for his
gloomy spirits. He is too far sighted not
to see that this was the year par excel

aspirations, while next time the tide may
have turned, and it may, nay, It viii in
all human probability be too late. More
over, his successful contemporary is. actu-:

sum at Z percent is s2,940,0o0,oo The
average cotton crop Of the country is g.

crop is $415, $4,000. The oat crop
is valued at $165,259, 900. The an

crops is $1,540,2S6, 600. Now, if every

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

A new crusade OF eviction has been start
ed in Ireland. It has not been particularly
noticed by. the American press, perhaps for
the, reason that the exploitation OF the
grievances Of the poor anywhere might
have affected the political affairs Of this
nation. But the crusade Is on. The mill
tary and the constabulary and the infarn-
Gus cruwbar brigade are out in full force.
The poor people who are little in arrears
and who are unable to pay in full are
thrown out Of their homes and forced to
subsist upon the gaunt aims Of an impover-
ished neighborhood, says the Boston Re-
public.
The bailiff, with his warrant and his
posse Of policemen and red coats, has no
sentiment. He represents the majesty Of
the law and the gripping greed Of the. land
lord. He demands his pound of flesh. He
Wants the full measure Of the bond.
Neither the. restitution of the family nor
the violent raging of the storm stays his
hand; the warrant must be executed. Eng
lish and Irish papers recently to hand give
a terrible picture of the eviction scenes in
the Arran isles on and about Oct. Is. Here
is scene presented by one of the eye wit
neses: "a force Of police and emergency
men were drafted to the island that day
to put into operation the process which
the law DEGREES in depriving a tenant OF
his homestead It so happened the island
was visited on this occasion by terrific
storm; even this failed to stay the hand of
the evictor. A number of tenants, some
with aged parents, others with helpless and
sick children, were hustled out into the
binding and pelting rain; but the storm Is
less pitiless in fury than the evsctor at
work. Out the poor people had to 80, and
out they have had to remain"
England has taxed Ireland into bank
ruptcy. The commission that examined the
account books recently discovered that the
Irish people have been mulcted out of hum
d1eds Of millions Of dollars within the
last quarter OF century. They have paid
vastly more than their proportionate share
Of the imperial burdens. No attempt has
been made to right the wrong. The i'm
position continues, and when the people
find themselves unable to pay the
tribute assessed upon them they must
vacate their homes and 60 out into the
storm to die of hunger and cold in the
highways This is a sample of British JUS
tice' and of British civilization in the clos
ne years of the nineteenth century.

ADAM STANDS IN.

Everything comes to him to waits. J.
Adam Bede was ousted from the Office
OF United States marshal Of St. Paul be-
cause he went on the stump talking for
his friend Col. Baldwin. But Adam f.
nally took tumble to himself, as we say
in the classics, and began talking. up the
god standard, in his usual facetious way,
and Grover looked upon Adam as a man
after his own heart. and racked his brain
little to see If he could not find him
some kind of job. In due time the job
appeared in sight as the following dis
patch from Washington will show:
]. Adam Bede is very liable to receive
Justice at the hands Of President Cleve-
lands administration. It is understood
that as soon as Secretary Francis has
completed his annual report he will take
up the matter of successor to- the late
Register Dunlava, of the Crookston land
office. The position pays $4,000 per an
mum, and If MIR. Bede will accept the po-
sition be can undoubtedly receive the APP
pointment. Bede's participation in the
late campaign and his work against free
silver has placed him in excellent stand
ing with the administration.
II Bede is appointed it is believed he
would not. be disturbed by the Mckinley
administration. ' .&:
So Adam gave upa job paying him So
900 a year to finally accept one at hat
the money. But perhaps it is worth
s., 900 year to defy Grover and make
his imperial nihs come down eventually.
