Conventions ut MO0rllead.

The Nelson convention met in Bruins
opera house, and was called to order
at 1915 by the chairman Of the district
committee, and on motion Of G. HI.
Graves, Gov. Gilman was made tenn
porary chairman of the convention.
Messrs. Corliss of Otter Tail and Hub
bard of Grow Wing were appointed
temporary secretaries, A committee
of five, consisting Of J. H. Rhodes of
Morrison, A. Moore of Becker, Ole
Kron of Douglas, M. J. Mathews of
Big Stone, and H. Engstrom of Kittson
were appointed committee on creden-
tials, and a committee consisting of
Messrs. TT. w. Brown of Marshall, r.
C. Mitchell of st. Louis, William Paine
of Grow Wing, H. w. Stone of Ste
vens, and III. G.. Waite Of Stearns,
were appointed committee on reso-
lutions, A recess was then taken un-
til o'clock. After the recess was
over the opera house was filled, the
Kindred men being among the num-
Der in attendance The committee
on credentials reported nearly full
representation from the several coun-
ties in the district, and the report was
adopted. The temporary organization
was made the permanent organiza-
ton. Mr.. Flynn, of Morrison coun-
ty, moved that q body of Republicans
present he heard in the convention.
This motion, although objected to by
few hot headed and unreasonable
Nelson men was carried when Hon.
w. w. Hartley stepped forward and
read the following:. Moorhead, Mimi,
April 24.-To the convention in session
at the Opera house Moorhead, Mimi,
under the call of Hon. @: A. Gilman,
The Republicans of the Fifth district
of Minnesota, Brethern: Deeply de-
ploring the schism existing in our
ranks as y party in this district, and
the spirit OF the resolution adopted at
Fergus Falls on the 23rd inst, and
with Il sincere desire to restore harm
oly in the district, believing q united
party to be paramount in a high de-
gree to all personal differences and To-
cal divisions, particularly this presi-
Dental year, we the undersigned duly
constituted by a delegate caucus of
tried and true Republicans, this morn
ing assembled, beg leave to submit
the following WHICH they are empow-
cred to propose as q basis upon which
hope most sincerely SUCH desired
action may be achieved. We propose
you the re-estahlishment of Repub-
lican unity in this district, and the
extinguishment OF all differences,
present and past, by the appointment
this day Of q new DISTRICT committee,
SO constituted as to give each wing of
the party heretofore existing repre-
sentation in proportion to the vote
cast in the election of 1882. The
members thereof from each faction to
be selected by each body respectively.
That in the same spirit of harmony
you permit the body we represent to
name one delegate and alternate TO
the Chicago convention, thus sending
there united delegation fitting in
character and strength to a district

Dam 1t.

On Sunday night the dam at the
foot Of the lake, south of town gave
way and a miniature flood along the
ravine leading to the river was the re-
suit In short time the surface of
the lake was lowered over a foot so
that great amount of water must
have escaped. Early Monday morn
ing Street commissioner Perkins was
at work with crew of men repairing
the dam. The loss of the water in this
lake would be quite calamity and
we hope Mr.. Perkins will dam the
lake securely enough to prevent any.
such disastrous occurrence.

The Review: For pure, dow nright
cheek, commend us to the Minnesota
lumbermen, who in convention at
Minneapolis a day OF two ago, adopted
a resolution calling on Congress to
sustain the tariff on lumber, in oppo-
sition to the Morrison bill and agree
ing to the organization of q coopera-
tive lumber association with $5O0,00O
capital, with headquarters at Mime
apolis, for the purpose Of buying all
lumber offered below market prices
and holding it to be sold at schedule
figures. These Minnesota monopo-
lists appear to think that consumers,
like the proverbial eels, are fond of
being skinned, and that they have a
perpetual lien on the public Treasury.
Fifty millions of people are deeply in
terested in cheap lumber, and none
more so than the industrial classes;
but these Minnesota monopolists not
only want Congress to shut out COM
petition from Canada and other sour
ces Of supply at time, too when there
is an almost universal protest against
the destruction of American forestry
but are trying to get up corner" in
the home product. Could the spirit
of greed 20 further?

But few who have not had expe :
rience in practical school work fully
appreciate the necessity for punctu-
ality and regularity of attendance.
| Where each teacher has the care of
from thirty to fifty pupils and has all
the work heaped upon them that 1t is
possible for one person to do, as in the
case in Morris, effective school work
can only be done by a thorough and
rigid classification of pupils.
This can be maintained only where
each pupil is on hand to do the work
assignedeach day. Ifapupil is absent
and loses the work of the class, that
pupil must be put back into a lower
grade or else the entire class must be
detained while that pupil makes up for
lost time, either Of which is unfortu-
nate enough.
During the w ntep the work Of the
public schools was much impeded and
embarrassed by tardiness and absence
and it was to prevent careless and in
different pupils from working injury
| to themselves or from what is still
worse annoying and standing in the
| way of the advancement of Others
that the school board passed the recent
ordinance of which considerable has
been said. The rule as first made was,
perhaps, a little severe but the school
board have modified the Objectionable
features. The ordinance as it now
stands requiring q written excuse
from parents for all cases of tardiness
or absence is certainly q wise one.
All patrons Of the school can easily
understand the necessity and wisdom
of it's requirements and should yield q
cheerful obedience.
There is misapprehension on the
part of Eastern people in regard to
farming lands here. 1t is generally
known that there is no land subject
TO homestead, pre-emption or tree

been taken and it is therefore oonclur
ded, without further inquiry, that
farms can not be obtained here at
low figures and immigrants push on
westward where the country Is brand
new. That these people would pre-
fer farm here where roads, schools

An effort was made by the Otter
Tail and Polk county delegations ana
a few others who cared more for the
success oftheir pet candidates for dele
gate to Chicago than for party har-
mony in the district, to deny the petit
ton without any consideration but
better counsels prevailed and COM
mittee consisting of Graves of st.
Louis, Eastman of Kittson, Clapp OF
Otter Tail, Waite of Stearns, Thomp-
son of Becker, Baker of Norman and
Farwell of Wadena, was appointed
to consider the petition and determine
whether any middle ground could be
found upon which the two conVens
tions could meet and act in harmony
for the present and future. The mo-
ton for the appointment of the COM
mittee was carried by vote of 81 to 80
showing that a majority of the conven-
tion was in favor of harmony. This
met u similar committee
from the Kindred convention and
after conference of nearly two hours
found 1t impossible to agree upon
terms for harmony and reported to
the convention in favor of denying
the petition: The report was adopted.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported in favor of the adoption of the
resolutions adopted at the Fergus
Falls convention and the report was
adopted.
A. Bato and H. G. Page of Fergus
Falls were chosen delegates to the
