THE CANNON VALLEY.

For the past week, the surveying
corps of the Cannon Valley Railway
have been running lines through differ
ent sections of our city with view to
getting an easy grade into and out OF
here. For two or three days they have
been operating on Fourth street, and it
has been learned that very acceptable
grade into the city, of only SO feet to
the mile, can be had by coming down
through court house square. There is
serious objection, however, to rail
road running through that portion OF
town, as the streets are already too
greatly cut up with iron rails. From
different sources, information comes OF
nature which almost insures us the
road, and the fact of tine various sur
veys would lead to this conclusion.
Messrs. Meagher, M. G. Willard,
Mayor Palmer, and James Brown,
members of the committee recently APP
pointed by the Board of Trade to inter-
view the officers of the Cannon. Valley,
discharged their duty in this particular
last Wednesday. But very little new
or important news was gained. Presi-
dent Hatch is disposed to be close
mouthed about the intention of the
company, and all efforts to get him to
a committal of his policy toward Man
kato were futile. One thing, however,
which looks favorable, is the fact that
Mr. Hatch did not say anything dis
couraging about running into our city.
1t is believed by those best informed,
that the main line will run directly
through here, but while this hope is
strong, really the worst feature of the
business is the possibility of being made
n side-track station,

AN IMPORTANT GATHERING.

The meeting of National Odd Fellows
at the twin cities this, and last week,
and of which we make notice else
where, is an event which is suggestive
of train of thought which, if followed
through to definite conclusions, makes
the assembling Of this brotherhood one
of the most important gatherings which
we have been called upon to note in
the history Of our state. When consid-
cred historically the advancement Of
the society in every particular, is mar
velOus. The first lodge was establish
ed in 1909, but the organization did
not commence it's wonderful progress
until about 1920, and now it is the
greatest order in existence, when We
consider its mere youthfulness, and
good work it has done and is doing.
There are about 5000 lodges in the
United States with membership of
100000. Nor are these the only facts
which give standing to the order 30 re-
Gently represented at the dual cities.
The work they are doing is growing in
to one compact mass of sentiment in
the public mind, which will be mon
ument of greatness, in less than half
century, which will eclipse any other
of whatever kind, known before. The
tripertite faith of Friendship, Love and
Charity is 80 closely connected with all
that is divine in humanity, that this or
ganization will always possess a promi-
nent place in the generous impulses Of
Americans. The Sovereign Grand
Lodge have held their sessions in the
Falls city, but they were guests of the
Capitol as well, and were grandly ban
quoted at that city on Tuesday evening.
So closely linked are those two places
in every feature, that it is difficult in
deed, to consider the guests of the one
but the guests Of the other as well.
In this instance they have both shown
the distinguished officials and other
visitors the kindest attention, thereby
demonstrating that the heart that feels,
the head that reasons, and the hands
that act for the higher and nobler pur-
poses of life are duly appreciated in
the North Star state,

SENATOR GRADY made speech at the
much talked of Tammany meeting the
other night, and severely denounced
Cleveland. We append synopsis of
his remarks:
''The number of delegates who OPEN
ly and earnestly opposed his nomina-
ton were recorded, in spite of all their
protests, as favorable to his candidacy.
Every influence that could be employ
ed or engineered by the monopolists
who have secured control of the party
management was exerted to make him
the candidate, and, as you well know,
the delegates who left their homes loud
in their professions hostile to his can
didacy, as inviting certain defeat to the
party, gave evidence soon after their
arrival at Chicago of a change of heart
which only the most simple and chart
table have ascribed to pure and worthy
motives. The expressed design of the
men who urged his nomination was to
conciliate the disgruntled Republicans
not to please the Democrats. Pre-
serving to myself the supreme right of
q citizen exercising the act of sover-
eighty, decline to prostitute my pre-.
rogative to the purposes of the party
managers. Suffrage has been bestow-
ed on me by the constitution of my
country, that it may be used for the
country's welfare. To the prosperity
and benefit of this land / dedicate it,
and I cannot reconcile without desecra-
ton any disposition of it that would
result in the support of a political nom
descript, clothed in the outward garb
of a Democrat, ignorant of the cardinal
principles of that political faith which
he assumes to profess, and accepting
from the Democrats their votes that he
may delight Republicans and Inde-
pendents by the manner in which ne
will exercise the power conferred upon
him by q betrayed and deluded party.
/ turn my back on the Democratic par
ty, captured and betrayed by know
nothing demagogues, hungry for place
and spoils, to join pure Democracy,
which struggles for the principles
which the party organization has aban-
doned. / denounce the candidate
whose only merit is his obscurity, that
l may follow the statesman whose life
has made glorious the history of his
country. decline to bow down be-
fore the craven image, because prefer
to follow the teachings of an apostle of
the true political faith, preferring shin
ing ability to dull medlocrity, true re-
former to sham reformer, statesman
to hangman, an illustrious citizen to
political adventurer. / decline to
support Grover Cleveland for the Pres
idency."

An impression seems to have gained
currency among a few of Mr.. III. c.
Towards more enthusiastic friends
that The FREE Press omitted some
things that it might have said last week
regarding his position before the Coun-
ty Convention. This may be. But
what we did say was only the truth.
That Mr.. Howard had friends in the
convention no one will question, and
that he has shown himself possessed of
manly principlesis demonstrated by the
fact that Mr.. Warner will have no more
earnest supporter than H. c. Howard
is not the man to sulk over his defeat
in securing the nomination, but will re-
main true to the Republican ticket.

In the Lake Crystal Union of Sept.
10th, there is an article concerning the
so. called "impromptu caucus held at
Pleasant Mound. This statement must
have eminated from the father of all
liars, as there is not word of truth
concerning the informally of this eau
Gus. 1t was held at the proper place
and time, and held open until 6 O'Clock
p. m. There was no caucus held other
than that which elected Mr.. Perrin,
and no other delegates chosen.
And the other paragraph concerning
the jurors in the p. road case tried be-
fore Judge Severance, jurors from Shell

is false and is significant of the fact that
it all eminated from the same dark

THERE is seemingly growing dispo-
sition on the part of Democratic ora
tors to misrepresent in every possible
form, the opposition party, and no one
has yet shon up who stoops to utter
campaign fabrication with more We
hemency and persistency than Thomas
A. Hendricks, the Bourbon Vice-Presi-
dental candidate. He continues to re-
peat from the Western stump the state
ment that $500, 1000, 900 is lying unem-
ployed in the Treasury, "wrung from
the people," beyond the demands of
the Government. Mr.. Hendricks seeks
to convey the impression that there
has been an excess of taxation repre-
sented by this amount. His statement
is not true. There is no such amount
of surplus in the Treasury. The total
cash in the Treasury September l was
S414, 541 1852. OF this sum S242, S5I ,S4I
is held to represent outstanding gold
and silver certificates. Gov. Hendricks
well knows that the equivalent of these
certificates outstanding must be held in
coin in the Treasury, and that it is in
no sense surplus, but is simply the
trust fund of money in circulation, and
is not entitled to be counted as any
portion of the reserve. The remainder
-Sl71 500, O0O-is mortgaged by the ap-
preparations of the last congress, the
greater portion of which have not been
paid, to the redemption of $l4,4 900
in demand certificates of deposit, like
wise trust fund to the redemption of
$346, OO0, 600 of legal tender notes which
are payable on demand. Mr.. III.
knows, moreover, that whatever sur
plus exists at any time in the Treasury
is not boarded, but that it is applied
under Republican administration to
the payment of the debt and the con-
sequent saving to the people annually
of large amount of interest,

THE storm which recently swept over
northwestern Wisconsin is a matter of
novelty for several reasons. First, it
is an unreasonable time Of year for
such storms, and again, the suddenness
and impetuosity of the manner in
which it did its work. The Chippewa
river was in few hours raised to a
madened, raging torrent, sweeping ev-
erything before it. Millions of feet of
lumber and logs were swept away.
while bridges, buildings, ETC., to the
value of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were ruined. Some deaths occur
red and many rich and happy homes
were desolated in few minutes. The
territory which the cyclone ransacked
is limited, but what the whirling mon
ster lacked in scope it supplied in force.

THE EXCHANGE BOOMING.

Wednesday brought forth more
healthy and promising business hour
at the Exchange sale, than had been
known there for several weeks previ-
ously. Larger lots of butter were Of
fered, prices ranged higher and buyers
seemed more intent upon making bona
fide-ofers. Messrs. McKinstry, Potter,
Herrick and Straight, each offered
large quantities of creamery butter, all
fresh and of first quality. The total
amounts on the board reached 10000
pounds. Most of this was offered at
option, but some of these were subse-
quently changed to set figures, mostly
"a and 25 cents. Bids ranged from q
to % cents. Irregular sales to the
amount of 81. 900 pounds, largely dairy
butter, were reported by different par
ties, at various prices. II
All who feel a living interest in this
enterprise were pleased and much
gratified to know that the Exchange
still lives and shows increased vigor,
Notwithstanding papers in neighboring
villages had commenced to pronounce
it's obituary.

Mr.. G. G. Frost, of Maine, the origin
ator of the Blue Ribbon movement,
spoke in Potsdam, st. Lawrence coun-
ty, N. Y, last week, and we have had
the pleasure of reading synopsis OF
his remarks in the Potsdam Herald.
No man of fair Judgment will attempt
10 question Mr.. Frost's temperance
principles, and yet he frankly acknowl-
edges that he will not support the Pro-
hibition candidate, but will vote for
Blaine. He gives rational reasons for
this stand, and why he does not be-
lieve in running the temperance re-
form into political circles. He says that
the temperance work is no new con-
test, but il has been going on for 1850
years. His theory is one of mental and
moral development, which is shown-in
the following remarks, which we quote:
eff we would have free govern
ment, we must remember that we can
not lift the standard of right and law
higher than the will and thought of a
majority of the people"
The viii and thought of the people.
And what is this more than the senti-
ment Of the people. Temperance re-
form is a matter Of education with the
young, and when Mr.. Frost remarks,
that "there Is hope for the country in
the intelligence and conscientiousness
Of the people," he gives the whole phi
losophy in q nut shell. The sooner the
friends of temperance accept this as
their mode of procedure the sooner
will they realize their object. This
gentleman considers the church and
school house to be the proper forum
for the warefare, and not the avenues
Of politics. Whenever the American
mind says, universally, that a change
must be, it tciu be. Now let the force
and means thrown away in a vain at
tempt to elect president, be expend-
ed in the proper channel, until the
twill and thought of the people" are
ready for the issue, and it will be to
the advantage of the cause.
Mr.. Frost spoke at some length rela-
tive to the two leading parties, and
urged temderance men in general to
stand by the Republican standard bear
er, for he believes it to be the one
nearer right in all particulars.
