The 13.-T. rants and drivels through a half column over the fact that we remarked that “afreet is good’’ but says not a word about the reduction of tarifl’taxation referred to in the remainder ot the article.

The Republicans seem disposed to make ( t »ueen Lil and the Sandwich islands the sole issue of the local campaign in this State. We were in j hopes they would continue to air their enmity to the new tax law, the i ballot law, the school book law, etc.

The Republicans were smiling as if some unusual and unexpected good fortune had befallen them, on Tuesday morning. Inquiry brought out the fact that it was because they had carried Maine. Democrats never ■ dreamed or thought of any other re- ! suit, hut it appears that the Repuhlii cans were not confident, hence their 1 extraordinary joyousness in the mat- : ter.

The new tanll' law makes a reduction in taxation of 1(H) per cent, on fifteen articles in daily general use; a a reduction of over 75 per cent, on five articles in common use; a reduction of over 50 per cent, on one hundred and fourteen similar articles,a ml a reduction of over 25per cent on three hundred and seventy articles generally used by the people and a reduction of from 10 to 24 per cent, on 233 similar articles. These figures impress the fact that the new | law- is a tarifl’reform measure in fact as well as in words.

It is a confession that the RepubliCome out and hear the political is-1 cans know that they are wrong and lues fairly and ably discussed. ! they do not intend to give their fnlI lowers any opportunity to hear the The 13.-T. is occasionally aflicted ng^t; it is an admission that the Reirith mild foim of jim jams or accute publicans have no confidence in the mania—the attacks come on when it' righteousness of their cause, and vir- * forced to deal in billingsgate and tually admits that they havj the buncomb because it has nothing in ; W orst end of the argument on the

The: history of Putnam county furnishes no equal to the present year in the matter of a bountiful liarTest—the earth has yielded its inerease in a most remarkable manner; sn era of good times is just before us; everything points towards prosperity ■shove and beyond the expectations of ihe must sanguine man who looked into the future six months ago and made public his prophesy. As the good times come on, keep the dollars moving—don’t hoard them if you have deMs to pay or if you harp articles of necessity to purchase—a

political issues now before the country. If Overstreet and his co-workers believed they were right; if they believed that the people voted the Democratic ticket because they did not understand the questions at issue, these Republicans would have “jumped at the ihance'' to secure Democratic hearers for their candidate for Congress, to the end that they might have heard him and been converted. Overstreet s backdown is an acknowledgement of weakness ; it is an admission that he represents principles that are radically wrong; it is proof posikive that he has no faith in his ability to hold his own partisans in line, much less to make

What was I begun for.”

On divers occasions, when opportunity offers, the ministerial Ireak, who has so many wheels buzzing at a rapid rate in his head that if a linger is stuck in his ear it is invariably amputated, thrusts himself lorward and poses ns an ass. The opportunity offered during the sessions of the X. W. Indiana Conference at Lafayette, i and two of these freaks brayed and showed their ears, e’en though they were disguised by wearing the cloth and posing as followers of He who j gave his life that we might live eternally. They are the Revs. (?) Allen Lewis and R. D. Utter. la addressing the Conference Lewis sai\l that “the Democratic party should hi blown to hell with dynamite,” and Utter said that to vote for a Democrat | was “the worst political sin.” It is a j sad commentary on Christianity that such fanatical, bigoted, spiteful, ven onions fellows as these should hr countenanced ns preachers—in th‘ j very nature of things they cannot hi leaders to pilot their charges heaven ward ; they lack the leaven of right- ' eo’.isncvs else they would not judge \ and condemn without right or reason —the heathen could do naught worse ; it is sacrilege in the eyes of pious and | devout persons to permit such unforgiving and bloodthirsty cranks to minister at the altar and administei j the sacraments to the people; thex lack the first requisites of Christianity —a forgiving spirit and a meek and contrite heart, iiie ministry of the M. E. Church should purge itself ol such make-belief ministeis as these; | the good people of Rensselaer and ! Valparaiso, who have had Utter and Lewis billetted upon them, should notify them that no quarterage would he paid them, and that a pulpit without minister is moie powerful foi | good than one occupied by men of their ilk. Pious anarchists of tinLewis order, and self-righteous, Piiar 1 isaical cranks of the Utter type are X’ G., and they should not be countenanced in a respectable Christian community.

TOWNS IN DANGER. St. Pxn., Minn., Sept. 10.—Alarming rumors have been coming In here to the etTi-et that forest fires are sweeping several counties of northeastern Minnesota. The wires are already in a state of demoralization, and south-bound trains due here Sunday evening are delayed somewhere between Hinckley and Duluth. bulletins from St. Cloud and Brainenl say that the town of 1’rinceton, a village of 500 inhabitants in Mille L ics countj-, is in great danger and that Barnum, Carleton county, is surrounded by fire which is swept by such a terrific wind that the place has no chance Of escape. Mora, Mille Lucs county, was surrounded by fire during the afternoon and people ran for their lives. The wind changed suddenly, however, at nightfall and drove the flames in another direction. If the wind changes again nothing can save the piace. Soule's sawmill and lumber yard between Milica nnd Princeton were totally destroyed. The little station of Ground House, near Mora, is in great danger. The wind was blowing a gale at this point at sundown and the worst is feared. The Duluth fire department is fighting fires in the outskirts of that city. Hinckley also seems to be again in trouble. At Kerrick the inhabatants put in the afternoon fighting the fires, but thought in the evening tlie danger was over. At Kimberly, on the Northern Pacific, only a large gang of railway laborers saved the town. There was a stale of terror among the refugees at Pine City when the St. Paul & Duluth limited passed thrombi), for it was feared another cyclone iw fire was at hand. Eighty lloillcs Hurietl nt Sandstone. Hinckley, Minn., Sept. 10.—Coroner Cowan and party went to Sandstone Sunday, where they buried eighty bodies. There were no religious services here Sunday, no clergymen being present, and a number of the people went to Pine City to attend the memorial services in that city. Five bodies were found Saturday night in a cellar on a hill just north of the Kettle river, and were buried where found. It is believed here that the death list in Pine county will exceed .tOO as something like 100 are still unaccounted for, according to Coroner Cowan’s ollieial statement. HIh Life hi Danger. Ashland, Wis., Sept. 10.—Settlers around Marengo, which place was destroyed by the recent fires, have caused the arrest of Milce Ki>epler, charging him with having set the forest fire which swept over that region last Saturday, destroying Marengo and Agnew, with a loss of eight lives. The prisoner was hustled oiT to Ashland and has been placed in the county jail here for safe keeping, as the feeling against him among the homesteaders is very bitter. Hoepler came tip for preliminary hearing late Saturday afternoon and was bound over to the circuit court by Judge Foster. A»hltttul In Danger. Aahland, Wis., Sept. 11.—Strong winds have fanned up tho forest fires in this vicinity and they are burning fiercely in nearly every direction. They crossed what is known as tho Cemetery road south of Ashland Monday, and the Ashland Driving Park association, whose buildings are located 2 miles out from Ashland, are in danger of burning. The fire is also quite close to Mount Hope cemetery, with the strong wind constantly bringing it nearer. Washburn’has been enveloped in a cloud of smoke all day. BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
