The Hevali-Beview. E. ©, KILEY, Editor. bs GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. The coal trust is preparing to mae it hot for the consumer, . The wise man always carries en um- brella instead of a corkscrew. Prolonged absence sometimes makes the heart grow fonder of the absence, Sometimes a man can tell what a girl thinks of him by what she doesn’t say. No one so completely realizes the inefficiency of a superior as a subor- dinate. Some men are afraid to marry and some men are fearless until after they marry. When poetry becomes a drug in the market it doesn’t command prescrip- tion prices. A girl's idea of sweetness is about equally divided between love’s young dream and mixed chocolates. The Cleveland Plaindealer is shock- ed because the Yaqui maidens paint their faces. And they are not afraid of the powder, either. The Great Salt lake is said to be slowly drying up, but hopeful candi- dates need not fear that the great Salt river will ever run dry. An Iowa woman obtained her decree of divorce nine hours after her hus- band died. He is not the only divorced man who didn’t mind, however, There is certainly no reason for the querulous spring chicken to get gay over the rise in meat prices. The ef- fect will undoubtedly be painful to his neck. Pocket directories containing names and data concerning the small towns of the country are now, it is said, part of the equipment of every Chicago con- fidence man and are of materia} value in rounding up the rural visitor. It is now in order for some enterprising publisher to get up a directory of con- fidence men, with full descriptions and other information, and circulate the same through all the rural communi- ties. Spanish bullfighting, with its danger and itement, though without the romance, the glitter and the gaudy cos- tumes, can be seen almost any pleas- ant day at the Chicago stockyards, as was shown recently when a long-horn- ed Texas steer broke loose, killed a horse, chased the genera! public to the nearest fences and was finally laid low by several policemen. ‘There is one great difference, however, between the bullfight of Madrid and the steer- fight of the stockyards—the Spanish bull is attacked, tortured and continu- ally goaded till he dies, while the wild and woolly stockyards steer does the attacking on his own hook and appar- ently enjoys himself until he is either in or captured, _” rte : About 1880 Capt. Oberlin M. Carter was put in charge of the harbor work vannah, Ga., where extensive im- provements were projected. In 1896 Carter was relieved and sent to Lon- don as military attache of the Ameri- can legation. His successor at Sa- vannah discovered and exposed cor- rupt practices on the part of Carter by which the United States government had been defrauded of about $2,000,000. Carter was recalled from London, tried by court-martial and found guilty on every charge. The trial court was made up of military officers of high character, The finding was that Car- ter should be dismissed from the army, pay a fine of $10,000 and undergo a term of imprisonment, and he will be made to serve it, too. The Illinois state fair grounds have the reputation of being the most beau- tiful and complete of any similar show grounds in the world, and a visit to them fully justifies this high standing. With the magnificent dome which dis- tinguished the famous horticultural building at the World’s Fair from all the other buildings, as the center piece in the field of noble buildings at Springfield, the difficulty of maintain- ing this example of architecture has been readily surmounted in the con- struction of the great buildings which fiank it on either side, and the grand stand, barns and sheds, which for completeness, comfort and conveni- ence, are not to be excelled anywhere. The great fair which is to begin the last Monday in September is now ab- sorbing the attention of the state board of agriculture and a host of artisans and laborers. Secretary Gar- rard, although lamed through an acci- dent, is vigilantly looking after a mul- titude of interests, and promises that the fair for 1899 is to be in very truth “the greatest show on earth.” Another prizefighter has died as the result of a “knock-out blow” and the Cubans, who are reasoning and argu- mentative folk, will probably be some- what perplexed to know why bull fight- ing is strictly prohibited under Amer- ican rule. While the sociologists are engaged in the discussion of dress reform it is to be hoped they will not overlook the in- verted and battered coffee pot hat that is such a queer addenda to the cos- tume of an otherwise well-dressed woman, CALL FOR TOVNE HON.

Reform Press Bureau. Sr. Pau,Sept. 11, 1899. The daily press during the week have generally noted the call for Hon. Charles A. Towne to go into the campaign of the Middle Eastern states. Never slow in responding to any call of duty, Mr. Towne has responded to this, cut short his stay abroad, and before the month closes will be ready for the fray, prob- ably both in Ohio and Kentucky. Mr. Towne cabled that he would sail on the Qist. But for this urgent call Mr. Towne would have returned at the time of Senator Jones, chairman of the na- tional Democratic committee, in Oc- tober. The call to Mr. Towne, especially for Ohio, emphasizes the platform recently adopted by the Democrats, in which free coinage was made the leading feature. But Mr. Towne will stand on that plank no more enthusiastically and fearlessly than oneach of the declara- tions of the party in the Buckeye state, whose leader for what is believed to be almost certain victory, is John R. Mc- Lean. We speak advisedly of the hope- ful outlook in that state from a per- sonal letter received from Mr. McLean. And another duty faces our great Minnesotan, of which he will be ap- prised, immediately on his arrival, and that is that Mr. Towne must make the race for congress in his old district next year. Of this he had not yet been advised, but it is the determination of his friends of his home county, Duluth, and other influential portions of the Sixth. A bureau representative has canvassed the matter very carefully, and finds the demand universal. The united reform forces will listen to no other proposal, and afew days hence, when Mr. Towne again reaches the western shore of the great ‘‘unsalted,” he will find this tender from his loyal friends, made with such enthusiasm and with such expressions of love and devo- tion as will again touch him to the heart. The state fair of 1899 set a pace that will be hard tocome up to in the fu- ture. A distinctive feature was the great support from the country. While the Twin Cities turned out, especially tothe evening attractions, the great body of the patronage was from the 1n- terior of the state. Success was in great measure due to the indefatigable labors of the officials, especially Presi- dent Cooper and Secretary Randall, ——— Se ogee - Governor Lind and party, including his official staff of the Minnesota Na- tional Guard, will see that the return- ing Thirteenth is properly cared for. Meanwhile a programme for the home reception is being matured which will be acredit to the whole state. Let those in charge steer clear of politics and all will be well. There must be no McKinley stump speeches on the eccasion. Come, friends, let us stop an instant, and think of essentials. If we aim at nothing more in the reform cause than to get possession of the few state offices, the gameis simply not worth the candle. The People’s party state central com- mittee met on Wednesday and derter- mined on a vigorous organization of that branch of the allied forces. Talk of partisanship, in the grain de- partment. Why, of 50 employes in one of the departments at Minneapolis, 35 are Republican political strikers. They include Congressman Fletcher’s men Friday, who make daily reports to Postmaster Lovejoy; inspectors (those “skilled” men without whom and Clausen, inspection would cease), who inspect wheat and run waid caucuses for city Republicanaldermen; Republi. cans, appointed for this political job and that; Republicans, holding places on account of certain society scandals; Republicans, relatives of Republican newspaper managers; Republicans, brothers or relatives of other Republi- cans; Republicans, relatives of city hall Republicans, and soon to the end of the chapter. Always Republicans, and always the worst of the strikers and healers known to Hennepin county pol- itics. So far as known there was just one Populist and one Democratin the whole Minneapolis grain department up to the time of the inauguration of Gov- ernor Lind, The Populist is credited to Congressman Eddy, who got him ap- pointed from Polk county, hence a supposed pull on the Populists there; the Democrat, of the Beckerian variety. Oh, the Republican administration of the grain department has been so beau- tifull ‘‘non-partisan.” Twin City organized labor made mag- auificeb a Owines in observance of Labor yy. s to persistent organiza- tion, labor is in good position to with- stand encroachments and oppressions too often encountered, positive reforms in the matters of state taxation, is now in session. In Governor Lind’s enforced absence at San Fran- cisco, the board, upon the governor's request, has laid over the important matters, such as franchises and foreign corporations, until his return. There has been in some quarters a misappre- hension regarding the prospect of the board going ahead with the hoped for reforms, on account of the presence on the new board of some of the old members who are reputed to be op- posed to the desired reforms, doubt- less on account of the course pursued in recent years by such mem- bers favorable to corporations reputed to be shirkers of tax-paying. Such are holdover members and are not Goy- ernor Lind’s appointees. It is not be- lieved that Governor Lind has appoint- ed a single member of the present board, but will be found equal to what is expected of the member, and of Gov- ernor Lind who placed in his hands the important duty with which each mem- ber is charged under the law. The week's event, as to the state in- stitutions, has been the reformatory ex- posure made by the St. Paul Dispatch. That such an irrepressible, unyielding, uncompromising, and most of the time unconscionable Republican sheet, should have found it impossible longer to hold its nose at the stench of the Re- publican management of that institu- tion, speaks volumes—no tubsfull—for the size of the goppite stench. The ex- posure was most complete, and will doubtless stimulate the reformatory board to action. But nothing particu- larly new was presented, more than was laid before the board by Governor Lind three months ago. Next. And just to emphasize Missouri’s “crop,” Silver Dick Bland’s old district has elected a Democrat as Bland’s suc- cessor, by 38,500, over the Republican candidate. The goppites were loud in their assertion that they would ‘‘re- deem” the district, now that Bland was gone. The American Bankers’ Association, which has just been in annual session, and which was organized to assist in bringing the country to ‘specie pay- ments,’ has a membership of 4,000, who have capital and surplus amount- ing to $1,200,000,000. They together hold over $4,500,000,000 of the people’s deposits, and this isan increase of over $840,000,000 in a single year. Of course this isnot a power—a money power. And this gigantic power has declared for the gold standard, and pledges its efforts next year to secure such politi- cal action. The banks want the gold standard fixed first, aad then the rechartering of the banks provided for, then the money power will be supreme. Here’s to Colonel Tom Shevlin’s na- tional park scheme. The Winneba- goshish-Leech Lake plan is all right, and no one will oppose it. Uncle Sam furnishes the land, timber, water and wild Indians, and time will do the rest. How many people know that it is literally true that in national banking, as proposed Republican legislation will leave the law, the government gives the banker back every dollar that he puts into the business and pays him interest on it besides, so that after the banker makes the first investment he has not one dollar risked, but is paid by the government to 1 its money at his dwn fates? See if this is not so. You and associates get together $100,- 000 to start a national bank. You buy $100,000 of government bonds and send the bonds to Washington with your ap- plication. You have now parted with your money, but have it in government bonds at 3or 4 per cont. The govern-, ment keeps the bonds, but sends you back $100,000 in national bank notes of your own issue. This is the money youusein banking. How much money have you now? $100,000? No, $200,000, one half of it in govern- ment bonds, on which you draw your interest with clockwork regularity, (less the small per cent of tax for ‘‘circula- tion”), and the other half in notes that you loan out at from 8 to 12 per cent, according to the stretch of your con- science. Is this true, or not? It is true, and who pays for it all? Why the people. They pay theinterest and prin- cipal of the bonds, in taxes and tariffs, and the discouuts and bonuses on the loans. It is such a monstrous system as’ this that the people must rise in their might and put down, which they can only do by the overwhelming defeat of the money power that sustains the Repub- lican party. McKinley’s policy of subjugation for the Filipinos, is even better than the sultanship which he has recognized for the Sulus. The latter has the institu- tion of slavery, the same as cost us the horrors of the Civil War to exterminate, and yet in extending our American “sovereignty” over that part of the Philippines, the McKinley administra- tion has expressly stipulated with the sultan that slavery shall not be inter- fered with, and neither the institution of polygamy. Slavery and polygamy under the American flag, under the Mc, Kinley administration. Slavery, polyg- amy andimperialism are very proper bed fellows! At last we know why McKinley’s at- torney general, one Griggs of New Jer- sey, hasnot yet attacked the trusts, General Blair, Carter’s attorney, de, clares that Griggs has been drunk for the last 25 years. Too much ‘Jersey lightning.” At Manila our soldiers shoot down those caught attending cock fights—and nobody kicks, Congressman Stevens of St. Paul can’t ‘‘see” how trusts will be an issue next year, with both parties declaring against them. There are many Mr. Stevens can’t “see.” Heshould Reform Eye Water. G, 8, O, DREYFUS IS GUILTY CONCLUSION OF THE FARCE AT RENNES. Court-Martial Fixes His Sentence at Ten Years’ Detention — Prisoner Weeps Bitterly When Informed by His Lawyers, but Recovers Himself and Listens to the Official Notification With Impassiveness— Belief That the Five Years’ Soli- tary Confinement Already Under- gone Will Wipe Out the Sentence. Rennes, Sept. 12.—The expected has happened. Dreyfus has been con- demned, but though a majojrity of those in the court reom fully expected the verdict, they were completely stupefied when it was given, and the silence which prevailed in the room and the way men turned pale and caught their breaths, was more im- pressive than any other manifestation could have been. itre Demange sank back in his ch. and tears trickled down his cheeks, and Maitre Labori turned as white as a sheet, while all around the court men looked at each other in silence. As the audience left the court room fully ten or fifteen men were crying openly, and the majority of those present walked quietly down the street for more than a block with- out speaking a word. It was like a funeral procession. Meanwhile a tragedy was being en- acted in the little room off the court room, Where Dreyfus listened to the reading of the verdict. He had been told the result by his lawyers, and had wept bitterly, but when in the pres- ence of the officials of the court- artial, he listened impassively to the sentence. His wife, who was waiting in torture and suspense at her house, bore the news bravely, and when vis- iting her husband in the afternoon showed the onlookers, who were in the streets. no sign of her suffering as she walked from her carriage to the prison. Mathieu Dreyfus was not present in court, but visited his broth- er after the verdict had been rendered. He found him perfectly calm, and without any manifestation of surprise at the finding of the court. The pris- oner simply shrugged his shoulders, uttering an expressive “bah,” adding, as he embraced his brother, as the Jatter was preparing to leave, “Console my wife.” The general belief is that Dreyfus will be pardoned; but this will not satisfy his friends, who ve- hemently declare that they will refuse to accept the verdict, and will continue the battle until the judgment is re- versed. The verdict, they say, is di- rected more against the Jews than against Dreyfus, and if allowed to stand will make their existence: in France impossible. Maitre Labori and Maitre Demange took the midnight train for Paris. They will sign an ap- plication for a revision of the case, although there is no hope that the verdict will be reversed. Scenes of g¥eat excitement occurrea in the evening. The anti- yfusards broek jose and started a demonstr w , but for the prompt and rigorous measures by the police, would undoubtedly have de- veloped into serious disorders, WITH MARVELOUS FORTITUDE Capt. Dreyfus Bears the Shock ot His Unjust Sentence. tennes, Sept. 12. — Dreyfus has borne the terrible shock with marvel- ous fortitude, one might almost say with unnatural calm. Saturday he seemed stupefied when Maitre Labori communicated to him the verdict. He passed a quiet night and rose when his orderly brought him water at 5 o'clock terday morning, just as he 1 when it was neces- J i eyfus and Mathieu Dreyfus visited him during the course of the afternoon, his brother subse- rently leaving for Paris. The appli- to the court of revision was to him at ncon by Maitre La- bori’s sistant and he signed it. Yes- terday he spcke but little, though he seemed in better spirits than might have been expected. The meeting with his wife wes naturally very af- fecting, but both held up as well as possible. He said to her: “I am not uneasy regarding mysclf as I shall soon be free, but I think of you and my poor children. They will be branded as the children of a traitor.” He is convinced that the ten years’ imprisonment to which he is sentenced will be wiped out by the five years’ of solitary seclusion he has undergone on Devil's Island, and he expects to be re- leased by. Oct. 15, which will be five years from the date of his former con- demnation. M. Hadamard, father of Mme. Drey- fus. said that Mme. Dreyfus and the family were hopeful and looked for- ward to some favorable developments. “The verdict,” he added, “is an in- famy. Capt. Dreyfus is in peor health as every one knows. He has been ex- tremely ill from the moment of his ar- rival in France and has been put on a special regime. His health has not improved, and the nervous effect of Saturday's terrible blow is bound to react on his general condition.” The town yesterday was perfectly calm. There has not been a sign of a demonstration nor a cry for or against Dreyfus or the Jews hooted anywhere, A number of people gathered to see Mme. Dreyfus visit the prison, but they were quite respectful. ¥ There is one extraordinary differ- ence of opinion respecting the exact effect of the judgment — whether he can be degraded again and whether the five years’ solitary confinement he has undergone will be regarded as equivalent to the ten years’ detention to which he is now sentenced and he will be released next month. This mat- ter is quite aside from the general im- pression that he will be pardoned in a few days by President Loubet, who will find some ground to exercise clem- saly. | light, $4.20@4.70. Cattle—Beeves, $1.50 clare that he will be released in Oc- tober. Quict at Paris. Paris, Sept. 12.—The day has been ene of absolute quiet, with no public excitement, not even in the Rue de Chabrot. There was a rainfall in the afternoon and the streets were prac- tically deserted, Slight disturbances occurred yesterday at Marseilles and Belfort when the verdict was pub- lished. Demonstrators attacked the res- dence of Jacques Dreyfus, brother of the condemned, at Belfort, breaking the windows and otherwise damaging the structure. Many persons were ar- rested. Indignation in England. London, Sept. 12.—_It would be im- possible to describe adequately the in- dignation the verdict of the Dreyfus: court-martial has evoked everywhere in England.” The excitement in the Jewish quarter in London is only natural. Special prayers were of- fered Saturday in all the synagogues on behalf of Dreyfus, and as soon as the verdict was known Je’ and Jewesses were seen at every street court, expressing indignation, and many sobbed hysterically. CRISIS IS DELAYED. A Policy of Patience Boers. London, Sept. 12. — After twenty- four hours of an ‘apparently acute crisis, the Transvaal situation has re- lapsed very much toward the status of a fortnight ago, and the sands in the hour-glass which are marking the lapse of Secretary Chamberlain's “eleventh hour” are running with dec- orous and judicial slowness. If the dispatches and editorials ap- pearing lately in the bulk of the Enghsh newspapers had been really representative of the true condition of affairs, England and the Transvaal would have been fighting two days ago. A widespread impression pre- vailed that the cabinet meeting would bring an ultimatum and war. It was generally believed that Gen. Sir Red- vers Henry Buller would depart Cape- wards and that the whole of the troops warned to be in readiness would-be mobilized forthwith. Although the cabinet has not of- ficially issued and account of its pro- ceedings, there is no doubt that it acted, and acted unanimously, giving the Transvaal another opportunity of satisfying British demands and avoijd- ing war. President Kru: has al- ready stated in the volksraad that he would be willing to send a committee to a further conference, and, barring the chance of hostilities precipitatea by some unauthorized act arising-from the extreme state of tension of men’s minds in South Africa, the result of the conference must be awaited. Toward the London, Sept. 12—The cabinet has decided to send 10,000 troops to South Africa in addition to the national force already of 5,000 men. Of these reinforcements 5,060 will be sent from India and 900 from Egypt, a battalion of the Northumberland regiment, which will sail immediately ships are r ly, and the remainder from the Mediterranean stations, London, Sept. 12—It is understood that Gen. Sir Redvers Buller ¥ start for Cape Town next Saturday. Mili- tary authorities are chartering steam- ers te transport troops to South Africa as rapidly as possible. Although the aspect of affairs is more peaceable, the special dispatches from Johannesburg report the greatest anxiety there. Fif- teen hundred persons left there yes- terday and it is proposed to transfer the business cf the stock exchange to Cape Town. The Johannesburg coun- cil is appealing to the government to lief work to meet the excep- distress. tch from Blomfontein reports the distribution of arms and consider- able exodus to Cape Colony. Accord- ing to this correspondent the Boers are massing on the frontiers and there is no abatement of war preparations in the Transvaal, MARKETS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers.

Des Moines, Sept. 8.—Attention has been called by the’ state game warden to the fact that Estherville people are operating a cold storage pant, senlding hunters into the country throughout the northern part of the state to kill game in violation of law, dressing and shipping it out of the state.
