Senator Fairbanks In Minnesota.

Minneapolis Times.
Senator Fairbanks's address at the ex-
position last evening was one of the most
comprehensive arguments for the continu-
ance of the Republican party In power thus
far put forth in the present campaign.
One by one all the political issues before
the people were examined. At the very
beginning of his speech Senator Fairbanks
paid a well deserved tribute to Mr.. Fletcher
as a representative tested in public sery-
ice leyel-headed, wise, able and untiring"
The prosperity with which the country
has been blessed in recent years was the
theme of large share of the senator's
address. and that carried with IL discus
sion of the financial issue Of 1896, the tariff
extension of trade and the problem of the
Philippines Referring to the tariff re-
vision sentiment, so pronounced even with
I'm the Republican party just now. Senator
Fairbanks said in effect that the Repub-
iican party does not hold either platforms
or tariffs sacred Schedules may need
modification from time to time. III they
iniure our commerce or Industries they
must be changed. but he protested against
their revision on free trade lines by the
Democracy. The Republican party. lie
contended has no friendship for conspir-
acies in restraint of trade, but free trade
would be no remedy, for trusts exist In
free trade countries. He stopped short
however of an admission that tariff
subsidy not needed for the fostering OF an
industry is controlled and operated In a
manner oppressive to American consumers
and in restraint OF American trade. The
and the tribute paid 10 the memory OF the
late President Mckinley Were among the
most highly appreciated portions Of the
senator's address,

Little Danger of Cholera.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The army med
ical officers say there is little danger of
the bringing of cholera to this country by
the army transports from Manila. The
Sherman, which arrived at San Francisco
last Thursday reported that she had
seven cases of cholera since leaving Manila.
This fact gave rise to an apprehension that
the disease might still have been active
aboard ship when the Sherman arrived at
San Francisco, but Surgeon General
O'Reilly, after carefully looking over the
dates, stated that the last case had &C.
CURED twenty-one days before the trans
port arrived at San Francisco. AS the Pc
riod of incubation Of cholera Is only five
days. the disease must have died out long
before the ship arrived in quarantine.

Several papers have declared in respect
to the anthracite coal-mine operators and
presidents of the coal-carrying railroads
that they are protected by Republican
laws" This is an error. No Federal law
protects the anthracite coal-mine operator.
for the reason that anthracite coal has
never been shipped to this country, so little
of 1t Is there abroad. The charters of the
coal-carrying railroads were. for the most
part. granted by Pennsylvania before the
Republican party had an existence. Those
charters, the officers of the companies al
lege. were granted before the present con-
stitutional provision was adopted which
forbids common carriers to engage in any
other business, which Is a measure adopted
in recent years when the Republicans were
in power. Years ago the mine owners could
