DULUTH'S BAD W ATER

The water at present supplied to the city of Duluth is bad. Not as bad as before the water company put in its new intake well, but still eqftirely too bail for use as a beverage. So says the analysis just concluded by Prof. A. J. Woodman. The Professor has discovered in the samples submitted to him bacteria to the numbey of 10,000 to the cubic centimeter. This a vegetable growth and is •ignificant when present in such quantities, as indicating the presence of a large •.mount of organic matter in the water, 'from which these minute plants draw flheir nourishment. Normal Lake StlpeTior water contains about forty-four to the cubic centimeter. In addition there •re large numbers of animaiculae found. These are present in such numbers only when there is a large amount of organic matter for them to dispose us. They, are nature's scavengers. , . Dun's Weekly Review of Trade. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: ’ T , y “The wheat market advanced a little, while other speculative markets were stagnant or slightly' declined, but its email advance was mainly due to reports «f foreign crop reports and need. There - many who believe that the decrease In yield this year has been underestimated?’ •nd part of the dispatches gathered by Dun's Review last week tends to support 'that view, though practically all she returns from what are now those chief wheat growing States were cheering. Ijess favorable accounts appear this .week from Minnesota and Dakota. It is wise on both sides to remember that in spring wheat States, which have this year to make up for some loss elsewhere, the crop willnot be out of danger for sßme weekgwNational League.

The excursion train bearing the Union Pacific pioneers home from the picnic at Ixtgan collided with u freight just after it left the town. Never did a day of pleasure with more qwftii disaster. Twentyeight people were killed and .fifty-one injured, many, of whom will die. Twentyfour of the dead are identified and the others are so badly mutilated that identificution is'hardly possible. The freight engineer misunderstood his orders. Gen. Gomez has commissioned Gens. Golazzo and Soyas to cross the Troclia with 460 men to carry SO.OOtI rounds of afannunition to Maeeo.

Cooper, general manager of the Wells-Fargo’ Express Company, died at Oakland, Ctrl., Tuesday night. Cooper was one of the oldest express officers in'"' the country. The jury in the case against Romulus Cotell, charged at Akron, Ohio, with the .murder c« Alvin N. Stone, his wife and Ira F. B Sti]lson. March 29 last, returned a verdict of guilty of murder iu the first degree. The jury was out four hours, although only one ballot was taken. Miss Effie CClver, aged 15, the hcautiful daughter of Dr. D. 31. Culver of Indianapolis, and Callin J. Campbell, aged 34. a married man, who eloped from that city twelve days ago and have been living at St. Louis since, were arrested’ Sunday night. . A report Which had reached the St. Louis police to the effect that Campbell had embezzled funds of the {Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, for which he was a special agent, was denied by him. He consented to return to Indianapolis ami face the music without waiting for requisition papers. Miss Culver will return also. The couple first met at the Sixth Christian Church of Indian-, apolis, of which MisA Culver was organist and Campbell tenor.' A ,serious riot occurred Monday night in Connection with the six day woman’s bicycle race at the Twin City-cycle track in Minneapolis; About 5,000 people had gathered to see the finish of a close contest and they had paid 1 an extra admission fee. Dottie Farnsworth, one of the, contestants, was too ill to ride, and when, this announcement was made to the crowd the riot ensued. The crowd tore tip the track, broke the seats, smashed all the glass and threw stones at each other, as well as using clubs. Squads of policofrom qll over the city were called on, but they were powerless against the eq? raged crowd, and If was two hours before order wa’s restored, and then only by the combined efforts of the authorities. George Rimcll. who for years held the Championship of England as a crack.shot, and who was three years the champion of Europe, died at St. Louis Wednesday, aged 73 year::. He lost t.he fortune he acquired by snooting m a contest in the interest of the Tichborne claimant 1 . He then Camb to this country, where he was defeated by Eogardus. After which he went to St. Louis and began the manufacture of patent medicines, in which business he was tuecessful. Several weeks ago he had a quarrel with a tenant, a fortune teller named Mffie. Marie Erick, during which she struck him on the head with a shoe. She was arrested, and is serving a sentence of one’year in the workhouse. Rimell has not been well since, and dieu of nervous prostration. He was an intimate friend of Buffalo Bin. The St. Louis .police department is mystified over sensational murder that occurred Tuesday night. A phaeton containing three men and a woman drove up to a saloon, No. 2200 Washington avb: nue. One of the men and the- woman alighted and entered the saloon. Sitting down to a table they ordered refreshments, and while the waiter was gone to fill the order five shots fired in rapid succession were heard, and the strange man was seen rushing from the saloon. The woman, who was well-dressed,and goodlooking, was found lying beside the table, dead. Most of the bullets had taken effect and her death was almost instantaneous. Later in the evening William Jenkins, son of Benjamin Jenkins, a widely known river man, was arrested, for the murder. It was at first asserted that the woman killed was his wife. But, Jenkins insists that the latter is out of town.

Coion. Colombia, dispatch:' The sudden mobilizatiop of troops on the isthmus causes consternation and alarm. The newspapers believe that trouble is expected. A Bluefield correspondent says that, owing to oppression, tire Indians are with difficulty kept from the warpath. The Nicaraguan Government has reason to fear art outbreak soon. Chief Clarence's former supporter has accepted a government, position, thus reducing Clarence’s chances of restoration. The question of the cession or sale bf the Danish Antilles Islands engrosses public attention. The Daqish government would be delighted to dispose of them to the American government, since they cost about $200,000 yearly and yield no commercial advantage. Nevertheless, the Copenhagen ; Cabinet' ’has no intention Of taking the initiative in the matter of propositions, but expects America Id' do this, and there is no doubt such suggestion will meet a good reception. The Italian brig Diadem, Swedish bark Sven, and Norwegian bark Johan Lndvig were blown ashore in Pensacola Bay, off Mobile, Ala., during a severe sfbrm Wednesday. The wind blew from the northeast at seventy-two miles an hour and their changed to the northwest, and blew 100 milt's an hour, Pensacola being the eenter of the storm. The Merchants’ Hotel, on Palafox street, the Methodist Church, and nearly every.,business'hpuse were unroofed. The streets wore made impassable by the fallen trees. No street cars are running. All wires are down, the nearest telegraph station working being at Flomaton. The Pensacola and Atlantic division of the Louisville and ~Nashvilie is washed out in places. The damage is fully $250,000. Sir John Pender, the cable magnate, head., of the Eastern',- the Eastern Extension, .the Cape, the Anglo-American, and other cable companies, who had been ill for some time past, died at London Tuesday Afternoon. John Pender was a highly educated Scotchman, born in Dumbartoimhire in 1816. When the project of an Atlantic cable was first broaclit-d in England he became at once an 1 enthusiastic advocate of the scheme. He was one ot the 345 persons who contributed $5,000 apiece to experiment in laying an ocean cable. John Pender occupied- in England the same position as. his illustrious colleague, Cyrus IV. Field, did in the United States, and both men won and held the esteem and gratitude of their fellow-eountryinen. When the American Submarine Telegraphic system was esttrtrtislied Pender set' inbout introducing the same plan, of sea cable in ofher. directions, ,ind was chiefly instrumeptal in bringing about tjie Mediterranean,:., India, China, Australiah, South Afric;u),iaind direct African cables.

Rates on gra'fi and its products from. Missouri River points to Chicago took a tumble Thursday. The Chicago Great Western Road a few days ago put the rate ongrair down to 15 cents froth' ifissouri Rivei to Chicago. The executive officers discovered that the Alton had issued a new tariff fjtr below those of the .Chicago Great Western, and consequently nothing else could be dope but to authorize all the reads to meet the Alton‘s rates 'The new tariffs are as follows: From Southwestern Missouri River points to • Chicago—Wheat and flour, 13 cent, per 100 pounds; corn, rye, oats, barley, cornmeal, brewers' grits, hominy, oatmeal, brewers' meal and bran. 11 cents," flaxseed and millet. 14 cents. This is a reduction of 10 cents per 100 pounds on wheat and 9 cents on barley, corn, rye, oats. etc. Another meeting of executive officers of IVcstern roads will bo held to take action I'egarding th£ flat rates on a reduced scale put in effect by the Chicago Great Western from points jn lowa and Missouri to Chicago.

TRUE AMERICAN POLICY.

Ts the’voice of a people is indeed the voice of God, then M'illiam McKinley is the complehient of Abraham Lincoln. Yea, and lie will issue a new emancipation proclamation to the enslaved sons of toil, and they shall be lifted up into the full enjoyment of those privileges, advantages and opportunities and opportunities thqt belong of right to the Aiiierfean people. Under his administration we shall command the respect of the nations of the earth; the American flag will never be hauled down; the» right of American citizenship will be enforced; abundant revenues provided; foreign merchandise will remain abroad: our gold will be kept at home; American institutions will be cherished a"nd npheld; all governmental obligations kept, and on the escutcheon of the Republican party will be indelibly engraved the “American policy—Frotjeetion. Reciprocity and Sound Money.” My countrymen, let not your hearts be troubled. The dark--est hour is just before the day; the morning of tjie twentieth century will dawn bright and clear. Lift up yqur hopeful faces-arid receive the light; the Republican party is coming back to power and William McKinley will be ITesident of the United States.—Senator Thurston. Democracy Destroyed. Idleness and Its consequent poverty and distress have been the towards of labor; distress and bankruptcy have overtaken business, shrunken values have dissipated fortunes; deficient revenues have impoverished the government, brought 'about bond issues, and bond syndicates have discouraged and scandalized the nation. Over against this fearful penalty is, however, to be set down one great compensatory result—it has destroyed the Democratic party. The iwoud columns which swept the country in tripinph in 1892 are-brok-en and noiseless in 1896. TJieir boasted principles, when they came to the test of a piratical application, have proven nothing but fallacies, and their great leaders have degenerated Into .warring chieftain's of petty- and irreconciliable factions. Their boasted principles, when put to the test of a proper application, have proven delusive fallacies.—Senator Foraker. Why Protection Is Needed. The strife between uationr for financial supremacy will never cease, and the tale of commercial progress is the continued tragedy of the ages. Nations, like men, are selfish in so far as they follow heaven’s first law, that of selfpreservation. The fortification of our power in time of •war/ind of bur proatoerity in time of peace rests In the perpetuity of our industrial independence. Among these confederated States there Is, and should be, free trade; for our people owe allegiance to one common flag, are subject to the demands of a leommon system of law, are united in the accomplishment of a common purpose and are trending toward a common destiny. The bonds of national patriotism create mutual obligations, between the different sections of this Union. These obligations are regarded, or disregarded, as the representatives from the States vote for or against the protection of the industries of each from foreign competition. McKinley Against Monopoly, No man can outdo me in opposition to monopolies; but the manufacturers of this country should no? be thus characterized; They-have no princely fortunes; in general thfey have no independent means. Their all is in the bflV-k ( lind mortar of tneir establishments, in the machinery, in the organization, in their trade. And how many of them to-day would be willing to sell out for first cost, and below first cost. it\ they could do it! He vtho would break down the manufactures of this country strikes a fatal blow to labor. It is labor I would protect.—-Hon. 3Vm. McKinley. Tax Foreign Goods Only. The free trade which England teaches and cajole? us to, follow she fails to practice at home, and looks forward with fond expectancy to the time when that same freedom of Intercourse, that

COVERS THE WHOLE GROUND.

close commercial union, shall exist in all the British Empire as is rigorously maintained liy the citizens of the United States. Here we have unrestricted trade among ourselves, no impost duties, no discriminating tax between the States. The markers of California are open to the manufactures of Maine.' Ohio sends her manufacturing and oth- . er products, freely and without restraint. to every State of the Uni,on. The products of one State wire as free to the citizen of another State ffis those of his own. We impose duties only ott. the products of foreign labor and ca.pic. tai—Hon. Wm. McKinley. Following Democratic Leaders. , The political fashion of 1892 is not yet entirely out of date. Then the Democratic piirty gained the support of' many weak kneed Republicans upon the promise of "tariff reform.'* They have "reformed - ’ American labor and industries” to hellangong. But their ‘‘touch” of power was sweet and they are now leading many Republicans .into “reform” of our currency. Has there ever been one single. Democrats “reform" that lias resulted in any other than a disastrous manner to the country? Those Republicans and protectionists who are now espousing another Democratic cause, flocking into the Democratic camp, feeling the'Democratic "touch” and blasting Republican leadership ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. During the quarter of :i century.of administration, preceding 1892, was it necessary to turn to Democratic leadership or to Democratic editors to outline a Republican policy? No. Why, then, now belittlt*. Republican leadership, Republican policy of Republican protection for all American interests? None were neglected prior to 1893. None should be neglected after 1896. Shun all Democratic ideas of Democratic politicians and Democratic editors. They lead only to destruction. Adhere to Republican counsel, to Republican protection for every American interest, to Republican statesmanship under an American leader.

Both Tariff League Meu.

The American Protective Tariff league has good cause to be satisfied with the work of the Republican National convention at St. Louis. Both the nominees for President and Vice President, Hon. William McKinley, of Ohio, and Hon. Garret A. Hobart, of New Jersey, have been metnbers of the League almost from its inception. Both are advocates of the policy of protection, as against free trade, and the American people can rest assured that

the advocacy of this policy, which the League represents, will be maintained with our usual vigor during the campaign. While the result of the elect ion is a sure victory for protection, all friends of the cause should give active co-operation to insure overwhelming success iu order that protection fiiay become tlife permanent policy of the United States. Agriculture and Louisiana. manufactures should go ha.ui.Lin hand; the one enriches the with the other—tlicy are! dependent one upon the There is no.conflict of inter--csr. Agriculture increases in its products and its wealth witli the growth and iinciA'ase of manufactures, Priqeu aw better, steadier, and more reliable to the farmer, with prosperous manufacturing ’industries employing labor tvfiti.'h'conspmes and does not compete with his products. Impair or destroy our ability to pianiifgcture, strike down any of our great” Ina flufact tires, and the farmer would be the first to seriously feel the loss. Dismiss the, army of operatives from the workshop and send them to the great unoccupied.and fertile lands of the West, and the farmer would not only lose just so many .consumers or custoiue'rs, but, more than that, he would find them as his competitors in the field of production.— Hon. Wm. McKinley. The British Voice. British free trade is the voice of interest and selfishness, not principle. American protection is the voice of in- [ telligent labor and American develop- ’ meat. Its benefits must be manifest to ■ the most casual student of industrial history.. No man will be found who would declare that our present advanced position of manufactures could or would have been reached without the aid afforded by a wise system of protection. —Hon. Wm. McKinley. How Free Trade Works. The fact that the value of foreign goods remaining in warehouses was $11,000,060 m<ife hist March than iu March, 1895, is evidence of the impoverished condition of our people, who are unable to purchase freely, even if the “cheap” foreign goods that are awaiting them. Perhaps free trade theorists will begin to understand that less work In our mills means a lighter purchasing power on the part of our people. Importers for Protection. There are many importers of foreign goods, and especially those that do a retail business, who are anxious to see a quick restoration of the policy of protection. We have frequently been told that they would much prefer to pay higher duties upon the goods they handle, and sell them, than have a smaller amount of business passing through thyir hands with smaller profits and harder collections. The Overwhelming Issue. Tariff reform, so-called, is directly responsible for all that the country has suffered during the past three years. Protection is the only wise policy for the nation to ‘follow, and protection is the overwhelming issue of 1896.—Daily Saratogian, N. Y. They Did Their Phare, McKinley is not altogether a selfmade man. The Democrats have contributed a good dctfl to his success by demonstrating the wisdom of his tariff policy.—Kansas City Journal. What We Will Do. The comfort of the American home depends on the maintenance of American wages, and the way to secure rhe one is to protect the other.—San Francisco CAIb 1 ' ' ' » < , ~|W'heat Ex ports.
