The election of John Lind, the fusion
nominee for governor of Minnesota, is
not a surprise to those who are ac-
quainted with the politics of the state
The Republicans elected all seven of
the congressman and have a big major
ity in the Legislature, but their can
didate for governor, a good strong
man, was beaten by Lind. Lind was
formerly a Republican member of
Congress, but his silver views took
him out of the party. Two years ago
he was defeated by only $500, although
Mckinley carried the state by $4,000.
He is personally clean and able, is a
Scandinavian and was lieutenant in
the Minpesota volunteers who were in
camp at Chickamauga. These three
qualifications made him very strong in
that state. .t4t scr

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in Ali
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. 1.-Wall street was
prepared for an outburst of enthusiasm
over stocks on the part of the general
public after yesterdays enthusiasm on
the part of the Street itself The
Changers. the Northern Pacifics and
the leading Southern railways opened
higher. The public enthusiasm had APP
parently induced it to place large or
ders to buy stocks at the opening. The
foresight Of the large operators in max
ing the opening level high one was
thus justified and they fed the eager
demand of outsiders quite freely.
Prices, however, We're fairly well MAIN
tanned in the first hour. But in spite
of the violent activity of the market
it soon became evident that the supply
OF stocks was fully equal to the de-
mand.

Tho Riots in North Carolina.

The present conditions in North
Carolina bring blush to the cheek of
every true American. The whites
where are waging a relentless war upon
their fellow citizens whose only offense
is the possession of a darker skin.
Not content with keeping the negroes
away from the polls and carrying the
election by methods of fraud and in
timidation which recall the darkest
days of the Ku Klux horrors, the white
citizens are suppressing negro news
papers, driving the negroes from the
cities and shooting them on sight for
any offense, real or imaginary.
In the city of Wilmington, Thursday.
bloody riots occurred resulting in the
death of at least nine blacks The
They are forcing the race war, not 50
much for anything which the colored
people have done, as on the general
principle that the negro is an incum-
brance to the earth and has no right to
live anyway. 1t all parts of the state
there is terror, confusion and blood
shed. The whites are not only deter
mined that there shall be no negro SUI
premacy in politics, but that
there shall be no political ac-
tivity among the negroes. 1t is
the old. old story common in
nearly all the Southern states for over
generation. 1t is simply little more
rabid outbreak than has occurred of
late.
The race problem is an awful reality
in the South. The existing conditions
are shameful blot upon our civiliza-
ton. Is it liberty and equal rights that
innocent men shall be shot like dogs,
without redress? No wonder our
enemies abroad fling their scornful
slurs at our country. The end of the
troubles is not in sight. The conflict may
grow and spread to alarming proper
tons and real race war result; but
more likely matters will subside after
few score or hundred of the terrified
negroes are murdered, and we shall
hear no more of it until something
arouses the whites to another carnival
of bloodshed. What will be the end
Of it all?

handsomely, too by much bigger ma

year. That shows what the Presi-

his administration. They gave him
48,5O0 when he was elected. and now,
after trying him for year and a half,
they give him 10000 and when 1900
comes around they will be anxious to
make it close to 100000.

The Redemption Of the West.

There are many satisfactory features
in Tuesdays returns and not the least
Of these is the sweeping Republican
victory in the West. 1t means many
things. First, that the next House will
| be Republican in spite of the loss Of
Eastern seats that ought not to have
| majority in the Senate will be SUBJ
stantially increased. Second, that free
silver has lost it's dazzling glamour for
Western voters, and that the delusion.
so potent two years ago, is dying out in
way that indicates its total extinction
in the near future.
The vote in Oregon, last summer.
was the precursor of this weeks tri-
umph in the West. The Oregon Re-
publicans, fighting squarely on a sound
money platform, won an overwhelming
victory, and the story was repeated
with emphasis in almost every state
west of the Mississippi, last Tuesday.
The Republican party forget that ''oT
raised the issues of sound money and
the support of the national admins
tration, and it routed the enemy in
magnificent style all through the great
section recently swept by the free sill
yer craze. Not only. did it more than
hold it's own in Ohio, Iowa, Indiana
and Illinois which it carried, two years
ago, but the armies of free silver were
crushed when they had previously been
invincible. California, won by an Ill
most imperceptible majority two years
ago, now boasts of an overwhelming
Republican sweep. There follows her
Washington, two years ago utterly
abandoned to Populism; South Dakota,
which two years ago disappointed rea-
sonable expectations; Wyoming, nested
in a Granny of silverisms and other
isms; Kansas, where Populism was
most firmly rooted and which has suf-
fered fearfully from Populist misrule;
and, best of all, Nebraska home of the
gentleman of whose 100000 votes for
the Presidency we have heard so much
wearisome talk since he got them;
home also of the most vicious visionary
who ever entered the United States
Senate, and who will never enter it
again-William V. Allen. In other
states where Populism pulled through,
this syear, it was by greatly reduced
margins.
The Importance of this great triumph
in the West can scarcely be overesti-
mated. 1t leaves the Democratic party
more hopelessly at sea than ever.
With Organism so strongly rebuked in
it's old strongholds, what is there left
for the Eastern Democrats to cling to?
With free silver SO squarely downed in
this election, how much more certain it
is to be crushed in 1900, with East and
West solidIy Republican in opposition
to it. The Democracy must get a new
issue or else admit that it has no ex-
cuse for existence. The only part that
it seems capable of playing is opposi
ton for the mere sake of opposing, and
with no higher or broader object in
view.

MansIaushter by Christian Science.

A case has just arisen in England
which attracts much attention both on
account of it's own Importance and on
account of it's far reaching influences.
The fad of so-called "Christian
Science as a substitute for medical
aid has come in contact with the stern
course of the law, and it's practices are
to be given a wholesome airing in open
court. Murder is murder whether COM
mitted by a Christian Scientist or by a
thug with a bludgeon, and it is none
too soon that the law is recognizing
this fact.
The case in question is that concern
Harold Frederic, the well known
American novelist and journalist.
After a long and careful examination
of the case, in which much testimony
was heard, the coroner's jury has re-
turned verdict of manslaughter
against the Christian Science devotees,
both women, who had charge of his
case. The one of them is held re-
sponsible as the guardian of the sick
man who refused to afford him proper
medical aid. the other as the Christian
Scientist who undertook his treatment
commenting upon the circumstances
attending the death. He told the jury
that, whatever might be said for or
against Christian Science, no words OF
mis- would adequately convey to Mrs.
Mills his utter adherence of her So
called treatment, and it was difficult
to realize in these enlightened days of
| the nineteenth century that sensible
and intelligent people should lend
themselves to such an absurd course
| of procedure. But the fact remained
| that valuable intellectual life had
been thrown away merely for the want
of proper medical care"
The people who attended the hearing
broke out in cheers in the midst of the
|
delivering of this opinion. The YER
dict of manslaughter was promptly re-
turned by the jury, and the two wom-
en- against whom it was given were at
once put under bail to await trial in
the sum Of $500 each. The coroner
held them to be sincerely misled in
their course, but declared that they
could not be excused from responsible.

Is likely to attract much attention ir

In the eyes of the law the gambler
and the man who dabbles in lotteries
has few more rights than the common
thief. Now the highest court in
the land has decided that in the game
of chance nobody has any rights which
anybody is bound to respect. Seven
men bought a ticket in a lottery which
drew s2525. They intrusted the draft
sent in payment by the company to one
of their number for collection, and ne
hogged the whole pile. Efforts of the
six to secure their pro rata of the find
were unavailing in the state courts,
which said the whole business was
illegal. And now the United States
supreme court has thrown it out.
