NOTES OF THE FAIR.

A number of the visitors to the fair call
at the prohibition headquarters, tent next
the institute hall. Comfortable chairs and
current literature on the tables make it
the auspices of the Prohibition state central
committee, and Chairman George w. Higgins
and Secretary George F: Wells are in charge.
An invitation is extended to all temperance
workers to meet there.
There is one noticeable feature about the
fair this year, and a very pleasant one too
the entire absence of begging. Heretofore 1t
has been cIassed a special privilege, but
this year, at the request of Relief Agent
Hutchins Superintendent of Privileges Mon
roe not only refused to sell privileges to
mendicants, but also ordered that they be
kept off the grounds Two persons who paid
their way into the fair yesterday were short
ly afterwards seen seeking contributions from
the charitably inclined, and were summary
elected from the grounds This departure
has found such favor this year that it will
be continued in future
One of the prestidigitators on Coney Island

nickels escaped his sleight of hand maneuv-
ers and lodged tightly in his throat The
side show stopped and the fakir sought
medical man. At the last report he was able
to resume business.
Thomas Irvine, of st. Paul, captured two
prizes in the sweepstakes yesterday after
noon and then gave up one. He was award
ed the first prize on the standard bred driv-
ers, and also the sweepstakes. Then later it
was found that his entry for the sweepstakes
had arrived too late, and he gave up that
ribbon.
Senator A. T. Stebbins, of Rochester came
out with a first and several second prizes
on his Jersey herd, and has to feel
proud of the showing he made, as his herd
had been sent to st. Paul just as the ami
mails came from the pasture. with no attempt
whatever to fit them especially for the show.
Complaint was made today that the shoot
ing in the ''Wild West Show in the Mid
way district, was becoming dangerous to Wis
itors at the stables in the west end of the
grounds.
The fair managers estimate that there were
from q, 600 to $4,000 people on the grounds
yesterday.

CONSPIRACY LAWS.
English Trades Unions Wish to Have
Them Amended.

BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Sept. 8.-The
trades union congress at its session
today adopted a resolution setting
forth that the conspiracy laws, as APP
piled to workers, were Indefinite, am
biguous and generally unsatisfac-
tory" and urged the parliamentary
committee to promote bill having for
its object the reform of the jury sys-
tenn, so as to make it possible for all
workers having no legal disabilities to
act as jurymen in all civil and criminal
cases. The congress also unanimous
ly adopted a resolution in favor of
paying members of parliament for
their services, and instructed the par
liamentary committee to do it's utmost
TO get the question again introduced
into parliament coupled with the pay
ment of returning officers charoes
from the local rates. 1t was also
unanimously resolved to instruct the
parliamentary committee to promote
a bill providing for reform in the tax
alton of ground value, providing for
their rating as other properties.
The Miners Federation of Great
Britain vehemently urged the follow
ing resolution: THAT this congress
instruct the parliamentary committee
to assist the miners at the opening of
congress next year in getting as many
members as possible to ballot for the
miners eight-hour BILL and that when
the bill shall be down for second read
ing the parliamentary committee as
sist the Miners Federation in whip
ping up members to attend the house
of commons in support of the bill.
The delegation from Northumber-
land mines opposed this resolution,
but it was eventually carried.

A GOLDEN FLOOD.

Better by far than the treasures of
the Klondike is the stream of golden
grain that is now pouring from the gap
ping threats of thousands of threshinS
machines throughout the Northwest,
and that other golden stream, the first
trickling rills of which are beginning
to flow back upon US, bringing prosper
ity and wealth. Minnesota and the two
Dakotas are just now the Gcene of an
activity that can be witnessed but
once during the year. These screening
days that are so oppressive to the city
dweller are ideal weather for gathering
in the wheat crop in prime condition.
Go where you will throughout the
Northwestern states today, and every
where the clatter of the reaper and
binder and the whir and hum of the
thresher fill the air. The crop is being
garnered, and it is answering fully all
moderate expectations. While it is not
one of the big record-breahing Yields,
neither is it a partial failure 1t is a
good average crop, or probably above
the average for the Northwest, and an
average crop with this years prices is
tens of millions of dollars better than
bumper crop selling on the farm for 40
cents bushel. 1t is the price which is
| making everybody happy this season.
Those farmers whom necessity or in
clination impels are marketing their
grain today at from so to 90 cents a
bushel, according to location. This is
a price which most of them had not
hoped to see again. and one that will
leave them a comfortable surplus in
the treasury to apply to the discharge
of old debts, or the contamination of
| needed improvements, or the addition
of comforts and luXuries to the home.
There appears to be a larger number
this year than usual who are not entic-
ed to rush their grain upon the mar
ket, even by the favorable prices now
prevailing. We are exceedingly glad to
see this disposition growing among the
farmers of the Northwest. 1t is follow
ing advice given to them many time
in the past 1t is the carrying out of
a policy which, as was explained by
Mr.. Hill to the Farmers congress last
week, and as the farmer may easily
see to be true, is vastly to his own in
| terest Let the whole wheat crop be
thrown upon the market within a few
months or even a few weeks of the
year, as has been the case in times
past, and what is the result? The
market is glutted, facilities fer hand
ling the crop are overwhelmed and the
farmer bears the whole burden Of dis
anpointment and loss Half the time
he cannot get his grain moved at all,
and wheat sacks are stacked noun
tain high about the overlooking eleva-
tors. Then there goes up a remon-
STRANGE because more cars cannot be
had. although probably at that mo-
ment every particle of rolling stock
owned by all carriers is in active SER
vice An opportunity is given to the
elevator men to take advantage of the
farmers necessities and to beat down
prices.
But by far the most serious effect is
upon the general market itself. No

where. 1t is drawn from the action of
our local board of equalization, and of
others, in assessing property for taxa
ton. In the contemplation of the law,
all property shall be taxed equally as
nearly as may be, and it is so provid-
ed in our constitution. But when we
leave theory and look at facts, we dis
Germ singular state of things. We
find that i'm all the large cities, includ-
ing our principal competitors, the as
sessment of the jebbing- business is
made, properly enough, upon pfinei-
pie different from that applied to other
forms of personal property. Were the
goods actually in the possession. OF the
wholesaler for the time being to be
taxed at their actual value in one
city, the inevitable result would be to
drive out that interest. It simply could
not pay such taxes and live, Compel
ing at the same time with an interest
elsewhere that was taxed on differ
ent basis and a smaller amount. The
board of equalization in every city rec
ognizes this fact and acts accordingly.
The law, strictly construed, says one
thing. But as long as that strict
construction, applied at one point and
not at the others, would absolutely de-
stroy an important element of its bust
ness, the rule of common justice and
common sense is followed instead.
Now this is exactly analogous to the
situation in freight rates. If the rule
against any variation from published
schedules were universally enforced.
and if all the roads centering in Chi
cago were compelled to abide by it.
and also to abstain from making
agreements to force rates up, the con-
temptation of the interstate law would
be realized. If, on the contrary, the
making of favorable rates to merchant
shippers is common custom, if it con-
duces to the good of all parties and in
jures none, and if competitive business
has been built up upon it as the prac-
tice, then to cut it off and to punish
those who have resorted to it in sin
gle instance or in a single commune
ty is the grossest form of injustice, far
more heinous than any violation OF
the law itself. For above every law in
majesty and dignity stands its equal
and impartial enforcement against all.
We say, therefore, that the question
is properly one of preservation.
Just as the interests of the whole peo-
pie have been struck by a section in
troduced surreptitiously into the new
tariff law to limit freedom Of traffic,
so is it now sought not to enforce
the interstate law with strictness and
justice, but to use it as a club 10 beat
out the life of one community in order
that another may profit by it. 1t is not
discrimination, but the trade of ST.
Paul and Minneapolis that is attacked
1t is not care for the law that inspires
the movement, but a desire to break
down these centers and destroy their
business and make the whole North
west tributary to Chicago's greed, from
which it has so long struggled to be
free There can be but one opinion
among those loyal to our city and
hopeful of it's future as to how this
assault upon our interests for selfish
purposes should be met
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-09-09

matter what the demand may be, the
rush of millions of bushels per week
toward the central markets and the
Eastern seaboard must break prices.
The exporters and the great wheat
buyers know this, and are ready to de-
press prices if possible 1t has happen
ed regularly in years past that, what
ever might be the prevailing quotation
for wheat a month or two before har-
vest began, it was sure to break just
after the new crop began to come in,
and the hopes that the farmer had.
cherished were rudely disappointed.
1t became standing grievance with
him that the traders forced down
prices just when he was ready to sell,
without regarding the fact that he
himself gave them their excuse and
their opportunity by flooding the mar
ket with the entire crop of quarter
Of the continent inside of a few weeks.
At last farmers are learning the les
son that the maintenance Of fair and
steady price depends largely upon
them, and that to secure it they must
hold a portion of the crop back and
deal out only SO much each month as
will supply the market without glut-
ting it, and will fill the foreign demand
without showing an available supply
SO enormous that prices go down in
sympathy. From all these causes COM
biped-the fair quality Of the crop, the
excellence of the market prices and the
probability that this will be maintain
ed for the best part of the coming year
we rejoice in the golden stream that
is to bring comfort and happiness to
thousands of homes throughout the
Northwest, where they have been for
too long strangers.

Gahagan refused to talk about the case.
He did not remember whether he was at the

of truthfulness., She is II years old, and for
the past year has been employed in cigar
mandatory on Jackson street.. Sunday af
ternoon, accompanied by Mary Stachowik, Of
902 Jessamine street, she went to the Chicago
Garden. Near the garden they met Dougherty
and Gahagan, and, at the invitation of the
men, went some distance from the place to
gather water lilies. Dougherty, the girl says,
coaxed her to leave Gahagan and her friend
and, after walking some distance, assaulted
her. She struggled desperately, and her
girl friend ran away. When she recovered
from fainting spell Dougherty had gone and
Gahagan was there.
The case will come up in the police court
