NO AGREEMENT YET.

Nothing yet has come from the at
tempt at arbitration in the difficulties
between the coal miners and the
operators. An attempt was made
at agreement until the matter could
be settled by arbitration, so that work
could be at once resumed. The oper-
ators offered to make the rate 81 &c per
ton while the differences were being
arbitrated, but the miners committee
demanded 69c and the conference
broke up without an agreement being
reached. The operators stated that
if the matter is not settled at once,
they will start the mines with new
men. If satisfactory arrangements
could be made as to arbitration, it
would seem that the miners COM
mittee had made mistake in not &C
cepting the offer of the operators to
return to work in the meantime at
Clio per ton, which was concession
of TIC, and so end the trouble, and in
the meantime strengthen themselves
with the public. 1t is said that many
of the operators are anxious to reopen
their mines, but such an attempt with
new men would doubtless lead to
trouble. The strike has proved an ex-
pensive one to the miners. They say
they have already lost about tic, 100000
IN wages. The company stores have
lost about S13, 100000 in trade. The
loss to the railroads in freights has
been about 81, 5000 and the opera
tors are said to have lost 81 100000 in
profits, So it will be seen from the
admissions of the strike leaders, that
the heavy end of the strike has fallen
upon the miners. Possibly every
means had been exhausted in an at
tempt to arrive at settlement before
the strike was ordered, but it has
proved expensive, as strikes always
do, and if they gain their end, it will
take long period to recover what has
been lost through the strike.

A DIFFERENCE IN TASTES.

The Benson Times says that the
creamery at that place has a contract
to put up considerable butter for the
English market, and that ''during the
past two weeks has been making a
part of the output to suit the trade.
The butter is packed in square boxes,
contains no artificial coloring and is
sailed much lighter. 1t not being
convenient to divide churning on
certain mornings the local dealer, Mr..
Cosgrove, is obliged to obtain his sup
ply from the lot that is being put
up for export, and some amusing in
cidents have occurred in consequence.
Several of his old patrons have re-
turned the butter sold them, and
blame him with an attempt to palm
off dairy butter as the gilt-edge pro-
duct of Benson's creamery. 1t seems
that what is regarded as choice but
ter in England is not held in much
favor here"

The St. Paul Dispatch makes a
labored effort to clear it's city of the
charge of having received almost ex-
elusive recognition in the way OF
federal appointments in Minnesota
by favor of the present administra-
ton, but it's effort is anything but in
genious or convincing. Mr.. Bixby, to
be sure, has some business interests at
Red Wing. Previous to ten or twelve
years ago he lived in Goodhue county,
but for the past decade he has lived
nowhere else than in St. Paul, and
has drawn his subsistence from labor
performed nowhere else. At the time
of his appointment to the "Big Injun"
commission he resided in st. Paul
with his family. The convenience of
shifting his residence to some other
town to relieve st. Paul Of the odium
of "hogging" all the appointments
thus far made, with others soon to

follow, may relieve the congested con-
dition of the Dispatch, but it will con-
vince no one else that Mr.. Bixby
should not be properly charged to St.
Paul.
The Dispatch ought to blush for it's
editorial utterance in trying to re-,
pudiate the real residence of one of it's
most prominent citizens and leading
political lights. Men have ''served
time" for less conspicuous proofs of
guilt, which, under the penal code,
might be properly classified as perjury. !
And then see how the Dispatch dis
poses of Col. Listoe, gentleman who.
has resided in St. Paul for quarter
of a century! 1t says that Col Listoe's.
appointment was no new honor to St.
Paul. 1t was only the "reinstate-
ment" of man to the consular service
who had been ousted by Cleveland be-
fore the expiration Of his commission.
Or course this is distinction in the,
ColonePs case, but where the differ
ence comes in the Dispatch does not
attempt to explain and the public
nina Is too dense to grasp. But the
appointment should not be charged
up to st. Paul, because it is an sold
honor" reprinted and otherwise i'm.
proved! Thus doth the apoIogist of
the Dispatch dispose of two of its
several federal appointees, but to stop
at this would still leave too many on
its hands to demand the .. S. marshal
| collector of internal revenue, u, s.
district attorney and other fat plums
yet TO fall from President McKinley,s
basket. So witness how it disposes of
Senator Ozmun, for years a leading
political light of St. Paul, and present.
senator from that awfully abused CITY.
Our apologist :says: "The appoint
menu OF Consul Ozmun can hardly be-
called st. Paul appointment, either.
senator Ozmun goes in as sort of ex-
ira recognition of the civil service
idea. The ordeal through which he
passed in preparing himself for "a
foreign mission should eliminate the
consideration of locality in his ap-
pointment, aud divide the honor
around through the state" This is
good! The idea of trying to spread
'a" man of Ozmun's size all over the
state for the sake of relieving DOOR
old st. Paul of the burden of it's load,
could not have originated in "a" mind
less fertile than that which presides
over the apologetic columns of the
Dispatch. Always klean kut and often
komikal it has been left to the over
generous treatment of St. Paul in
way of federal favors for the DISPATCH
to even out-do itself and shine forth
as a repudiationist of its own citizens.
But withal, our esteemed metropolitan
contemporary has left no impression
upon the rural districts of Minnesota,
save to further emphasize the oft re-
peated claim that st. Paul has already
been too generously served at the pie,
counter, and to the exclusion of the
sections looked to to supply Repub-
lean votes.

LAST year there was 1888 deaths
among those receiving pensions.
Every year from now on this number
is likely to increase. Those who have
been making so much fuss over the
enormous pension" list ought to pos
sess themselves of little patience.
Commissioner of Pensions Evans
gives it as his opinion that the list.
will grow less with each passing year.
The country as whole has no COM
plant to make Of its pension list, and
honors the brave boys who freely gave
their lives in it's defense.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY in an inter
view yesterday in speaking Of the
general improvement in business,
said that while in the west it was
probably due to the large crops and
the high prices consequent to the
crop failure, stated that there was
no mistaking the fact that in the
east the improvement was due to the
restoration of the protective policy.
The improvement, he said, is not
spasmodic, but gives every evidence
that it will continue to increase and
mot only the manufacturers, but
people generally will soon realize
that it is only with protective tariff
and sound financial principles that
the country will and remain in that
condition"

MRS. CHARLOTTE SMITH, of New
York, President Of the Woman's
Rescue League, favors boycott
against bachelors. She says that if
they were compelled to marry it would
have much to do with settling the
labor question. She claims that the
great competition of women in the
field of labor, is because 60 per cent
of the men refuse to marry. Mrs.
Smith will no doubt make an inter-
esting campaign, but whether she
will carry her point or not is another
question.

The old stone structure, referred to
as the Higgins building" was a large
three story, badly constructed edifice
built in 1861. The Good Templars
hall was small room in one corner of
the second story. Mankato Lodge No.

until about Jan. LIST, 1868, when it re-
moved into new hall in the third
story of building which had just been
completed by Lewis, Shaubut & Co.,
located at what is now 3O4 South Front
street. The building is still standing.
The ground floor is occupied by the
American Express Co. The old hall is
vacant.
The old Higgins hall was removed in
1892 giving place to fine commodious
brick structure.

KNOCKED A LADY DOWN.
In This Way Two Negro Pupils Ex-
press Their Arrogance.

Bertha Thompson and Flora Jackson,
two negro girls of Jackson Ward. were
before Justice Crutchfeld yesterday
morning, charged with knocking down
Mrs. V. b. jerks in the street. The
Justice fined them g each and costs.
They are pupils 1T the Normal School
and from the evidence the Justice was
led TO believe that they ran against Mrs.
jerks deliberately and out of pure mean
ness. Mrs. jerks said while in the wit
ness chair that when she had fallen TO
the ground they derided and jeered her.
and said that Joe Fife was not yet
dead" When the girls had gone on.
a soon as Mrs jerks could rise, she had
the presence of mind 10 follow the negroes
TO the school, and there learned their
names. These pets of Jackson Ward had
the pleasure and the privilege, to WHICH
no doubt. they point with pride. of riding
in the patrol, and paying 90 cents there
for. In Justification of their assault, the
girls gave an excuse which Justice
Crutchfield at least thought utterly film
sy and lame.
In the case Of J. i. Miller (colored),
charged with striking Ellen Anthony, the
accused was required to pay costs
George Williams (colored) was charged
with stealing an umbrella from }. +.
Clarke. and security in 500 for thirty
days was required.
The continued case Of Joe Johnson
alias Willie Johnson, charged with steal
ing a bicycle from Willie Orme, was called
and Johnson sent on to the grand jury.
