It has been a lively raco betwoon tharival cities, Minneapolls comes out winner. She olaims 120,200 population, which 1s an inoreass of 82,313 in five years, St. Paul has 111,397, an increiss of (0,924, The two cities havo together 240,596 people. A no one la allowed to go behind the re- turas thesa figures will have to be ac- cepted by the publio. Wz have to go away from homa some- tlmes to get tho news. The Llncoln Journal, which {s,continually poking its noso into Douglas county affairs, has dis- oovered that a shortage has been found In the office of coanty treasurer. This s not ouly a surprising place of news but 1t Is a vory serlous charge to make sgainat Mr. Rush. We believe tho Journal's charge to bs without foundation, and 1t no doubt will hear from Mr. Rush on this matter. He will very likely dexand the proofs, or an ample retzactlon, So far as we koow, M:. Rash has a #po less record, and we cannot understand the obj:ct of tho at- tack that has boen made upon him by the Journal, our TaE expulsion of the cattle men from the Indlan territory aud the removal of the fences from the publle domain every- where will naturalle create a demand for the Uuion Pacific ‘“desert” lands, which are only fit for grazlng. The cattlemen will purchase thesc lands from the rall- road at o falr price, and thus be enabled to accure large ranches which they can encloze and otherwise tmprove. We no- tico that & tract of 157,000 mcros was purchased in Albany county, Wyomiog, the other day, by a eyndioate of cattle- men. The prlcs pald was $483,000. Ow- Ing to the peculisr location thispurcheas glves control to 100,000 acres of govern- ment land. Other tracta of rarglng from 20,000 to 75,000 acras hava been pur- chased from tha railroad at good prices, by English syndicates. TURN THE RASCALS OUT. Ever since the democratle administra- tlon took hold of the roins of govern- ment the spolls-hunting boarbons have been shouting, “Tarn the rascals out.” In nesrly every democratis newspaper the word rasaal was made & synonym for a republican office-holder. Whenever a republican was saperseded by a democrat startling headlines were used to inform the publlc that another rascal had been tarned out. No matter how excellent a record bad been made by the republican office-holder, he was almost invarlably branded as a rascal, Even when A, U, ‘Wyman, than whom a more honest man does not exist, reslgaed from the tress. urership of the Unlted States, and his accounts were found straight, even to one cent, although he had been the cus- todlan of milllons upon millions of money, the Denver News referred to him as “‘Another rascal turned out.” But the rascal business has become a little monotonous. Will some demo- cratic statistiolan please Inform wus just how many raecals, in the literal sense of the word, have been discovered In the great army of republican office-holder:? It {s true that hero and there a rascally office-holder has been found, but the per- centago of rasca's among the republiosn offico-holdors is about filty times smaller than it is among democratic office- wookers, Since thls fact s becomlng pretty generally known and proven we hear less and less of the spolls-hunters’ war cry: *‘Tarn the rarcsls out!” Hardly a dsy now patees without the discovery of a herze-thlef, an embezaler, a murdorer, an ex-conviot, a drankard, or a totally unfit or objaotionable person among the federal appointments made by the democratic administralion. There was Meler, who was credited to Colorado, and appointed toa forsign berth, It was soon dlscovered that he was & dranken bammer and a ¢irreputable man in every rospect, Thera was Judd, also of Colora- do, who Is a self-confessed horse- thief, and now in jall. The recently sppo!nted postmaster at Lincoln Center, Maino, 1s an embizzler, and was prevented from ontering upon the dls- charge of his official duties by the bars of the jall in which ho is confined. Meede, who was appointed prsimaster at Hazel- harst, Mics'selppi, wasa participant in the murder of Mathews at that place. A newly appointed postmasterinan Iowa town has been proved to baan ex-convict. Two recent federal appoin‘ees in Cinclo- natl are known to have served two terms for crime, ons In the workhouse and the other In the penitentisry. Even the president has charged that cne of the federal judges appointsd by him is a totally unfit person, highly recom- merded to him by influential politicians. And now comes Mr. Exum Saint, of Indianspolls, who has bsen named fora position in the pension bureau service. Investigation shows that Mr. Saint is far from being a snint, end that he has an indictment hanging over hls head in the United States district court, We ven- taro to say that if tho records of all the democratic appointees wera carefully searched it would bs found that the list of raseals would be a hundred times longer than that which could be made up wlth the names of republican razcals. Itis true that the administration has been im- GeNERAL MaNAoErR TALMAGE of the ‘Wabash {s responsible for tho strike that has bsen order:d on ihat unfortunate road. His refusal to even mest the commlttee of the Kalghts of Labor to consult regarding the general dissatisfac- tion exlsting among ths employes of the road was in perfsct keeping with his haughty, overbeariog and iyranical dls- posltion, Farthermoere, when he stated in hls reply to the committee that he was not aware of any dlssatiefaction he either uttored a deliberate falsehood or elso he dosen’t know anything about the affairs of the Wabash wtich he clsims to man- ago. It would ssem that the ricent strike on the Wabash ought to have been letson enough to the offislals of thatroad to treat the employes in a half way satis- factory manner. For yoars the Wabash hes been a hard road to work for end the employes have ondared a great deal at the hands of its officlals. But so long as such men as Talm:ge are pormitted to be goneral managers, the employes of rall. rosds need expect no constderatlon from them, ' * A receNTLY published statewent to the posed upon by peitions, politizians, and spoils-hunters, but neversheless the dem- ocratle party 1s responsible for the impn- eitions that have biea practiced. Tho exposure of democratle rascals has had the effect of causing o cessation of the etereotyped dally exclamatlon, *“Turn the rascals out.” Before it la agaln applied to republicans, wa hope the respectable democrats will weed out tho rasca’s from among thelr own office-seeking ranks, PresiENT CLEVELAND'S letter of re- buke regarding the recommendation of an unfit man for appolntmeat to a federal judgeshlp, has eveked a great desl of favorable comment. Although the names of the judge and the persona recommend- ing him were omlitted in the published copy of the model letter, 1t has generally been taken for granted that President Cleveland did actuslly write the letter, and consequently there has been s great deal of guiss'ng In hopes cf finding ont to whom the Presldent referred. Seven men have been appointed by the pres'dent to judgeehlps, and two at least have been rafisfactorily removed cut of thecategory of belng un- effect that the tract of 800,000 acrer of land which the general land offise with held from the Southern Paclfic railrosd company just as the compeny was preparing to take presesslon of i, is ab- wolutely worthless, s disproved by the" fact that the London 7'¢legraph not long ago bought £50,000 acres in the vlieinity of this tract for the sake of the pulp con- talned in the cactus that grows there, The pulp procured upon this land fa shipped acroes the Atlantle and is used in the manufacture of the paper uwpon which the London Telegraph ls printed, The cactus plant grows all over the land which the land commissoner withheld from the grasp cf the Soathern Pacific, and if the cactus s &m0 valvable to a London uewspaper 1t cerla'nly ought fo be equally valuable to the great American newspapers and paper manufacturers, Although the laud may be of no ute at present to scttlers, yet It Is far from belng worthlees. Com- menting upon the ac'ion of the commis- sloner In regard to this ‘‘desert” land, the Now York Timss saye: *By the way, if the T'elegraph can make money by using the cactus plant sfter paying for sea transportation, orght not the ssms ma- trrlal to be ntllized by paper makers in Awerlea?

Powers, ol Michigan, to be assoclate justlce of Utah, recommend- ed by Mr, Don M. Dickinson, of Detrolt, and W. B. Fleming, of Kentucky, to be associate justice of the supreme ¢ urt of New Mexico. The fitnees of these men appears to te established by the teet!- mony of intimate fricnda and by public men whose assurances are worthy of bellef. The lfst 1s thus reduced to five names: W, H, Brinker, Mlssouri, aszoci- ate justice of New Mexloo; W. B. McConnel!, Dakota, supreme court, Da- kota; W. G.

J, Dawne, Oregon, Uanited States judge, Alatks, Unlzss the search for ths objectionable appoivtze is broken up in some way, he liable to be corraled by the process of ellminatlon. Afier a careful fnquiry Into the antecedents of these remalning five appeintees the general impression among those who have interested themsolves in the matter seems to be that Dawne is the man to whom the president referred, A man of the same name who has pre'ended 10 ba a graduste of several medical col- leges which did not glve him a degree has run for office on tho democratic state ticket in Oregon, and protests against his sppolntment are sald t> bave bren re- celved la Waehington from Oregon,.n Ty THE DAILY BEE- Mr. Dawne is the man, his days on the Alaska bench are probably nambered. Tar manner in which our courts are conductad is certalnly not satisfactory to litigants and to the tax-payers who have to foot the bills, There does not seem tobe avy efl)rt made to push business and consequently the number of cases on the docket !s rapidly Incresting. At the February tirm thers wire 650 cases on the docket, nt the June term there were over 700, acd the Octeber term promises to open wit" a docket of over 000 cases. At this ratc of accumulation of busines: the judges will never ba ablo to catch up. An oxtra judgeshlp was created In this district for the purpose of facilltating business acd keeplng the number of cases within a re: sonable limit. The factis that two much uime Is frittered away. OCourt opens at about 9:30 a, m., and the call- Iog of the Jocket usually ocoupies from one to two hours, after which but Iittle, if any, business ls tranacted before noon. An adjour;ment Is taken untll 2p, m,, and the whoels of the court machinery do not get fairly starled until some little time after that hour. The afternoon ad- jourament moro often oconrs nearer b o'closk than G, It will thus bo seen that our courts are a very esay and slow-golog Instliutlon. If an effort wers made, however, to push affalrs the courts could transact three times the amount of buslness that they are now dolng, and thus save to cho county a considerable sum., At the same time {he majorlty of Iitlgints would appreciate a little more energy in the court machinery, Tho faoct is that the lawycrs aro to a great cxtent to blamo for the dilatoriness of court procesdings, romciimes for the Interest of their c! entg, but more frequently for thelr own Iuterests, Tho juiges, however, have it In thelr power to stir the lawyers up snd in this way bring many of tho sulis toa final termination at an estly day. Tae fact that a new c.ndldate for United States marshal has sppeared In the field without consulting Dr. Miller seems to grestly distarb that democratic bors, Mr. Eaclid Martia In raoniog againat such veterans of the rockrooted bourbons as Ble:srs, Ireland, Galbraith and Bear, has commlitted an acaacloas act, Mr. Mariin is being backed by Charles H. Brown, who does not belongto the Herald's hsppy famlly. Altogether the fight over the marshalehip promizes not only to be Interesting, but decidedly long drawn out. Meantime Marshal Bierbower conticues the even tenor of his way, and draws his salary with his ususl regularity. THE TRADE OUILOOK. Trade is gradually plcking up in the principal wholessle centere, 83 country buyers are now beglnning to make thelr purchases for the fall seaton. An early renewal of activity in commerclal and in industriel circles Is now confidentlylocked for. The reporis from every quarter are of the moet encoursgiog character, and especially from the weet and south. The fmmense cora crop cof the west is now coneidered eafe, snd the same msy be eald cf the bountifal cotton yleld of the scuth, The business failures continus to show a cecrease. Inthe United States and Canadss Jaet weck they numbered 168 as sgafuet 180 in the previous week and 201 the week before, One of the moet encoursglng features is the in- creased demand for money. The loans of the New York sssoclated banks footed up $314,940 600 Jset faturday, sgainst $293- 146,200 May 2, and $287,840,000 a year ago. The eurplus rererve has fallen off over $56 000,000 this month, Activity ia the wool trade cont!nues, ond the manufacturers have great confi- denco in the stabllity ¢f pretont prices of | the raw staple. The woclen goods trade is reported betier thsn at any time daring the past yesr. Spinners of worsted yarne ore busily employed on orders, and prices average b cents per pound higher tkan a few weeks ago. Blarket manu- facturera In some cates advanced pricen about b per cent. last week. Some de- siratle lines of sprirg style woclon fab- rice, of which samples have been recently placed on the market, are already under the conirol of crders that will absorb eoveral months production. The general outlook for business in woolen goods fs brightenir g, end here and there a small advance in prices have been pald. The cotton market bas fluctuated within nsr- row limifs, and thenet changa for the week was unimportant. Trade In the new staple hes developed little activity, but thero has been more doing in its manufic ures, Therestrictlon of output by the mills has given more confidence to buyers, end s:lling sgents have eecured an advance cf sbout { of a cent a yard (n & number cf makes of low grade and fine bleached shirtings, tlckings, ete. The general market for cotton goods is firmer and shows a tardening tendency, In the fron and steel traces there is more confidence in values, and increased ac- tivity is noticed In standard brands of crude fron; but the volume of businers in mcst departments i3 moderate, and ordcrs generally reflect current require. ments, The Philadelphla Record in its weekly 1eview of tke grain market ERYS: The price of} wheat for prompt delivery has declined 24 to 8 cents per bushel and the epeculative ““futures” are 8 to 4 cents lower in all markets, The break is due torealizations Dy the loog iuterests and more general ¢hort selling In the speculative msrkots, encouraged by au iucreating crop movement to interior centres avd & growing feeling of uveasiness about the keeping quality of the large stccks inslore at Chicago, Exporters Laye been operating a little more freely in spring wheat, but thero has bzen no general improvement in the foreign demand, The dulluess in this branch of the (rade is evidenced by the con tinued depresion in the tranesilantic carry- ivg trade, Tois not unueval at this time of year to find some thirty or forty ve:sols undes charter awaltiog cargoes t the leadivg At Iantic ports, but at present there are very few, if any, versels engaged for full oargoen of giaim, and rates are very low and unremuner- ative to tonnage owners, The regular Euro pean steamer lines that frequently get 6 pence per bushel for grain berth room at this stage of the season are bepging freight engsgements 8t 2 pence per bushel. Corn prices are 1 to 1§ cents per Lushel lower than a weok ago, partly from sympathy with the decline in wheat, but mainly a8 & resut of the more bearith feeling created in speculative circles by the splendid crop outlook axd the larger deliveries from the hands of farmers, who, having finished harvesting, have been able to give more attention to the marketing of their stored crops. Thero has been a moderato but ateady demand for export and home consump- tion, and the visible enpply in this country shows o further decrease of about 1,200,000 bushels. e e WESTERN NILWS, DAKOTA, Mitchell, with a population of 8,000, has twenty-three lawyers, The crop losses by hail in Eddy county is estimated as high as 60,000 l)ll!hl‘{h Yankton claims to have bsen suffering the past week from an inundation of tramps.
