stitutioual and subversiye Of the freedom Of

the ballot.
The utterances of these two conventions,
made with full knowledge of the conse-
quences of the Democratic policy, are signi
fcant as showing that there is no division
in the sentiment of the party, and that Con-
gress will be fully endorsed in it's course.
The issue is squarely made-opposition to
any attempt to infringe the freedom of the
ballot by any means whatever, and more es-
pecially through the interference of the mil
itary, the supervisors or deputy marshals.
The Republican party cannot dodge the
question. It has assumed to create a large
number of officials charged with the duty OF
preventing free expression of the will of
the people at the polls. These officials are
composed for the most part of the mo st
disreputable elements of our large cities
men whose vote can be bought for song
thugs and shoulder hitters who are ready to
obey the behests of their employers to any
extremity. They are graduates of the sa-
looms, the brothels and the prisons, with no
political or moral principle, utterly incom-
petent to pass upon the qualifications of a
reputable citizen. To these worthless is given
the privilege of placing any citizen under
arrest without process of law. Opposition
to SO great an indignity upon justice, 80
great menace to the freedom of suffrage,
ought to be and will be one of the cardinal
principles of the Democratic party through

Lumber from Sts'atc.
Brainerd Tribune.

A late invention is for making lumber
from straw, and will prove invaluable to our
western prairies. The straw is reduced to a
pulp and then pressed by means of rolling
mills into boards, planks, shingles, clap
boards, joice, ETC., or by molds into any de-
sired form or shape, such as doors, window
sash, blinds, furniture, etc. It is claimed
that the chemical properties introduced by
solution before the pressing process, hard
ems in the fibre, renderingiit entirely imper-
vious to water, and exceedingly non-com-
bustible compared with wood. It much re-.
sembles hard wood lumber, and in saving it
the difference could not be detected. It is
susceptible of . very high polish and can be
made to initiate black walnut, mahogany
marble, and even stone, will not warp, and
is far less combustible than hard wood.

WORKINGMEN,S WAGES.

On Saturday morning the body of Michael
Arndt, German tailor, was found at. the
foot of Douglas monument, in Chicago, with
bullet hole through his temple and small
pistol lying by his side. It was evident that.
he had committed suicide, and this suspicion
was confirmed by letter received by his
wife. This letter is full of pathos, and
shows how hard struggle some men have
to force living out Of the world. He re-.
lates that he had asked his employers, a
firm of Wholesale clothiers, for an increase
OF half q cent for pressing ooats-he had
been receiving cent apiece preyiously-was
refused and discharged, and seeing no pros
pect for more work had committed suicifle.s

ceive five hundred dollars from one beneyo-
lent society to which he belonged, and that
his funeral expenses would be borne by an
other. In concluding the report OF the

The coats referred to were of liner, and man
can press half-a-dozen an hour. Last week, by
working ten hours day, he made $3.50. 1t was
his habit to ride from 1913 State street to 4l6
Milwaukee avenue in the morning ut 4 cost of
ID cents, and to walk home at night-a dis
lance of nearly five miles. Had he ridden both
ways the $3.50 would have been reduced to
$S6O. He was temperate man, but hard
Work had reduced him to almost skin and
bones. Having been dismissed, and there
being few chances for employment nowadays,
he made up his mind to go where bread and
butter are not needed.
This pitiful paragraph illustrates how true
it is that one-half the world does not know
how the other half live. Here was man
with none of the vices so common to his
class, working ten Tours day and walking
distance of five miles to his humble rooms
at night, who earned, deducting the neces-
sary carfare, the beggarly sum of 1920 q
week. On this sum he was obliged to sup
port wife and son. Is it any wonder that,
finding himself deprived of even this pit
lance, he chose speedy exit to the here
after?
The case of Arndt is but specimen of
thousands. In every large city-and in
some laying no claims to metropolitan pro-
portions-there are men and women who
toll from morning to night for only enough
to keep body and soul together. They live
temperately, subsist on the plainest and
scantiest of food, and finally drop off and
are buried in unknown graves, victims to
hard work and semi-starvation. It is no
wonder that many of these men who have
no family ties take to drink or to tramping
or to plundering; it is no wonder that so
many of the women enter upon lives of
prostitution, and ultimately fill dishonored
graves. Tragedies like the one recorded
serve to awaken momentary interest in the
condition of the workingmen, but they do
no permanent good, and almost before the
sod is laid upon the grave of poor Arndt,
his sad lot and his tragic rate will have
been forgotten. 2ats
Religious people and philanthropists have
much to say about elevating the working
classes. Did it ever occur to them that be-
fore their moral and intellectual standing
can be improved they must have the means
to live? Can man who earns only four
dollars week with which to support himself
and family be expected to devote time to
mental or moral culture What he wants
is bread; the philanthropists give him q
stone. A change in their methods is neces-
sary in order to make the work of reform
success.

Hendricks is working hard to SECURE the
nomination for first place on the national
Democratic ticket, having renowned second
place two or three weeks ago. George
Shanklin, of the Evansville Tribune, and
brother of the secretary of state, went to

and, while there, embraced an OPP
portunity as confidential agent Of
Hendricks to learn the condition of
feeling there for the Governor. To q
Journal reporter he stated that he found
the Kelly wing Of the Democracy warmly
in favor of Hendricks. Among others that
assured him of support were Col. Payne,
Kelly's right hand man, and, Purcell, chair
man Of the Democratic State committee.
Contrul Of the convention will depend on
the New York city delegation, and it was
conceded that Kelly would capture that. Il
he does, then it is almost certain the New
York delegates to the national convention
will vote for Hendricks. Tilden appears to
be losing ground, according to the eanguine
Shanklin.

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
COUNTY AUD1ToR's OFFICE, }
RAMSEY County, MIMI, :

The Murder of Revensse Agent Cotton.
Traced to the Perpetrator after the Lapse
of Too Pears.
Gainesville (Ga) Special
The mystery of the killing of Cotton, the
revenue agent, has been cleared up finally
and effectually by official investigation.
Cotton, one of the most effective of the
revenue agents, was missing one day about
two years ago. But little was thought of his
disappearance, as he was constantly out on
secret raids, and was man of very irregular
habits. About the time cf the disappearance,
Byrant, a worthless fellow about the town.
told several parties that he had killed Cotton
and even went SO far as to give the reasons
for it, Nobody paid any attention to it. A
few weeks ago the bones of a man were found
at the spot where Byrant said he had buried
Cotton. Byrant was dying at the time of
this discovery, and the man who found them
said nothing to disturb his last days. He
died in about week, everything being kept
quiet in the meantime. After his death the
discovery was announced. 1t was then
thought that probably the scheme was to
protect some one else by putting the crime
on Byrant, and an investigation was had.
The result has been reached, and proved
absolutely that Byrant was the murderer.
1t seems that Cotton had informed upon
some of ByraDt's relatives, who had been
running an illicit still, and it was thought
best to put Cotton out of the way. One
witness testified that Byrant had offered to
see him paid if he would kill Cotton, and
afterwards tried to get hlnl to get Cotton out
of town, where he (Byrant) could "get fair
lick at him. The witness declined to do
either of these things, and said nothing about
it. Byrant did succeed in getting Cotton to
the retired place, and then struck him over
the head with bludgeon and killed him.
He buried the body where it fell He told
several persons of it. It is not shown that
Byrant had any accomplish, but it appears
rather that he acted of his own volition, or a
drunken, half-crazy theory that Cotton must
be killed to save his (Byrant) relatives.

Several inches of rain fell yesterday, and
the downfall was the most continuous ard
heaviest of the season. The clouds looked
leaky at sunrise, and at 9 o'clock the BIZ
drops began to patter down in a way that
meant business. The day was characterized
by spasmodic showers, but the rain per Sc
was not forthcoming until after nightfall,
when st. Paul WAS visited by the most ex-
tensive rain of the year.
The height of the storm was reached at 10

corning the effect of the storm on the crops,
but it is thought that the rain was not severe

MAINE and CALIFORNIA.

Two Democratic State conventions as
sembled on Tuesday; one in Maine and the
other in California-ths two extremes of the
continent. A comparison of the two plat
forms adopted shows that Democracy is
substantially the same on the Pacific and on
tbs Atlantic coasts-that the principles of
the party are applicable alike to the political
needs of the entire country stretching across
ifty-seven degrees of longitude. They
show, too, that the Democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress have not mis-
understood the wishes of the people in
adopting the course pursued thus far. The
Maine Democracy state the whole question
at issue between the two parties in one brief
paragraph as follows:
That the power to buy up the refuse of

at the expense of the public treasury, putting
it in the power of a single individual minion
