The Beckerian funk is very popular
with Republicans,

At last the Thirteenth Is on:the briny
deep, en- routethome. A glad welcome
for our brave sons, and tears for those
who will not f6atsthe joyous greetings
the sadder that they have fallen in so
wicked and so needless war.
Elevator King Peavy, discrediting
Governor Limbs appointees on the new
boards of appeal, declares that he has
no knowledge of Greenleaf, the gov
ernor's Republican appointee on the
board, or of Ma1onqnist, another ap-
pointee. Well, alongside Of the ele-
vator king, can be found score who
can testifyto Mr.. Greenleaf's ability.
For over 20ayears he has been g. dealer
in wheat, close and shrewd observer
of happenings on change, at times a
practical miller, an elevator man, and
an all round, good Judge Of grain. In
the opinion of those competent to judge
he is regarded as ideally fitted for the
appeal board, as any man whom tho
governor could have named.
AS to Mr.. Malonquist, does Mr.. Peavy
recall the circumstance of opening an
elevator, some years ago, at Winthrop,
in competition with Mr.. Malonquist,
whose securing five bushels of grain
from farmers, to one by Peavy, soon
caused the latter to close up? Well,
this is the same gentleman, if we are
mot mistaken. To know him Mr.. Peavy
has but to connect him with the Win
'throp grain buyer of a few years ago.
Mr.. Peavy, as the only Minneapolis
grain, man to defend the Clausen ad-
ministration, will probably be very
grateful for assisting him to discover
that his acquaintance with Governor
Limbs board of appeals is not as blank
as he at first supposed.
Mayor Gray has tackled the coal
combine with the same courage that he
vetoed the fast train ordinance, and been
sustained by the Minneapolis city count
Gil. The coal barons tried on the mayor
the same old scheme with which John
Goodnow feathered his nest, be-
fore called higher in the Republican
service. If successful, the coal combine
would have divided nice sum, and
the success of their scheme would have
stimulated them to bigger raises on the
general public. Mayor Gray is contin
ually gaining in public confidence and
esteem.
While Mayor Gray wrestles in Min
reapolis, the Republican eontinuou'
performance goes right on in St. Pau
with ever increasing necessity fol-
cleaning out the gang next year.

The politicians have been offer
ing Admiral Dewey the presi-

very wisely declines the honor
and calls attention to the fact
that neither his training or his

sideration as a candidate.
Speaking of the admiral the

marks:
With all due respect to Ad-

his services to the nation, there
is no reason why the distin-
guished statesman who now oc-
cupies the Office of president
should not receive a second term.
President Mckinley is a patriot
and a statesman and at this time,
in the Republican party at least,
there should be no talk of any
other candidate.

..Our Infant Industries. :"

WASHINGTON, March 2-American
manufacturers seem likely to make
their greatest record in the fiscal year
which ends four months hence. The
reports Of the treasury bureau of
statistics covering seven months of the
fiscal year, show that the expectation
of domestic manufactures is $23 3,00O,-
600 greater than the highest record
ever before made in the corresponding
months of the fiscal year. During the
seven months ending Feb. l, 1899, the
exports of domestic manufactures
amounted to $182. 1886, SOB, or an aver
age of million dollarsssa day for
every business day of that period.
Not only are the manufacturers in
creasing their sales in foreign markets.
but they are evidently supplying, to q
greater extent than ever before, the
home market. The imports of manu-
features in the seven months under
consideration amount to only S147,-
2OO, ,972, or $50, 100000 less than the
manufactures exported. The exports
of manufactures during the past seven
months have been nearly 25 per cent.
greater than the imports of manu-
| factures.
Comparing conditions with those of
| q decade ago, the evidence of gain is
even more striking. In the seven
months ending Feb. l.. 1889, our ex-
ports of manufactures were $78, ,751,
933; in the seyen months ending Feb.
II. 1899, they were 1882, 1886, SOB, an
increase of 131 per cent. in the exports
of manufactures during the decade.
On the other hand imports of manu-
factures in the decade have fallen 32
per cent. despite the fact that the con-
suming population has meantime in
creased % per cent. the imports of
manufactures in the seven months
ending Feb. l, 1889, having been 1884,
996, ,77S, against $147, ,2OO,972 in the
corresponding seven months ending
ing Feb. /, 1899.
A decade age the imports of manu-
factures were more than double the ex-
ports of manufactures; now the ex-
ports of manufactures are 25 per cent.
greater than the imports of manu-
factures, despite the fact that the home
demand for manufactures Increased
25 per cent. through 25 per cent in
crease in population. In the seven
months ending Feb. 1, 1899, imports
of manufactures were 147 per cent.
greater than the exports of manu-
factures; in the seven months ending
ing Feb. /, 1899, they are 20 per cent.
below the exports of manufactures.
1 Comparing the seven months of the
fiscal year ending Feb. 1, 1899, with
the corresponding months OF 1889, it
is found that the exports of manu-
factures increased 131 per cent while
the total exports, including manu-
factures, increased only IS per cent.
and the exports of all manufactures
but 81 per cent. 1t is thus apparent
that despite the unusual foreign de-
mand for our agricultural products,
the manufacturers are making q more
rapid gain in their exports than are
| any other class of our producers.

The investigation committee
to examine into the impeachment
charges made against Judge
Glaspell, made their report to the
house of representatives last Fri
day, and, as was expected by the
friends of the Judge, a clear
vindlcation, and Mr.. Glaspell's
accusers have doubtless by this
time crawled into their holes and
pulled the holes in after them.
The Courier is pleased at the out
come. because it recognizes in
Mr.. Glaspell a fearless and con-
scientious official, who is doing
his duty regardless of the
opinion of the lawless element
that is continually barking
at his heels. The following re-
solution was passed by the
house:
This house concludes, first
that the special committee under
the authority given it has pro-
perly performed its duty.
Second That this body does
not consider impeachment pro-
ceedings on the evidence ad-
duced either wise or justifiable.
It does not believe that impeach-
ment proceedings should be
based upon mere newspaper
criticism of official acts and in
the absence Of regularly filed
charges as contemplated by the
constitution in impeachment pro-
ceedings, this house hereby dis
misses this matter and expresses
regret that the persistence of the
petitioner should have resulted
in any action whatever on the
part of this body"
The motion prevailed and the
resolution was adopted unani-
mously. The result is u victory
for Judge Glaspe!l. His &C.
cusers did not dare prosecute
investigation further. They did
not dare call witnesses in the
hope of discriminating the Judge
more than is done in the evidence.
Had it been possible for them to
arrive at testimony more in
eliminating than that submitted
to the house there is little doubt
Lit would have been called.
