The Schwaben Society held their annual cele-

society is composed of persons who have emf

THE ST CLOUD, MANRATo Il AUS
TIN X. II.

What has been surmised for some
time-that Jim Hill, of the Manitoba
road had gained control of more or less
of the rights and franchises of the st.
Cloud, Mankato 4 Austin railroad-has
finally been verified.
A dispatch from st. Cloud i'm Fridays
Pioneer Press says the deed has been
filed, and names the consideration nj
$295, $50. The territory included i'm this
purchase, says the dispatch, Is "the
completed section of the road to Rich
mond, in this county, and throws con-
siderable light on the Manitoba's inten-
tons in this country. The section to
Richmond is now being completed To
Willmar, and grading contractors on
that part of the road have been notified
that rs soon ~ their contracts are fin
ished they will be given more work in
the same vicinity. This is construed To
mean either that the Manitoba will at
once build that part of the st. Cloud,
Mankato 4 Austin from Richmond to
Litchiield and Hutchinson, and secure
that portion of the land grant, or that
it will ut once extend the st. Cloud Il
Willmar on through to Sioux Falls, Oak =,
rs it is understood that the recently
surveyed Willmar Il Sioux Falls line is
the property ofthe Manitoba.

TIE star-eyed editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal, Watterson by name, is
i'm high dudgeon because a majority OF
the New York Democrats i'm the House
of Representatives voted against the
Morrison tariff bill, and blasts his bugle
in the following wrathful manner;
"This should end the ascendancy of
the East in the councils of the Demo-
cratic party. We want Western poll
cy, earnest, Jealous. aggressive; poll
cy so clearly defined that the meaning
of any victory fairly won could never
be misunderstood"
The New York San, Democratic to the
back bone, but protection to the last
drop, in commenting upon Watterson's
eHusion says;
1t is undoubtedly true that the mean
ing of any victory under "a Western
policy" could never be misunderstood,
for no such victory could ever be won.
Leave New York and New Jersey out of
the councils of the Democratic party
and where would the Democratic party
be? Force the tariff question to the
front, and Connecticut also would be
lost to the Democracy. Nor would the
Solid South be left solid. Louisiana
would drop out, and probably Alabama,
and all possible hope of carrying Ohio
would have to be abandoned. The part of
the Democratic party which would be
left might be earnest, jealous, and aggres-
sive, but il would be incOnveniently
small on election days.
Our good friends in Kentucky had
better put the handkerchief of philoso.
ply to the eye of defeat, and make up
their minds not to drive New York and
New Jersey out of the party until the
number of Democratic States Is consid-
J erably greater than at present.

FRIDAYS RACES.

The opening meeting of the MInneso-
tn Trotting Circuit came to close in
Mankato Friday, and with all the excel
lence of the preceding days il was left
for the last to be the most exciting and
interesting. "Zig" sold favorite in the
pool in the 2:3O trotting race, but the
field contained nag that was too much
for him, and as Il sequence some of the
boys dropped their loose change. Fol-
lowing is the summary of this race:

The 2:25 pacing pacing race resulted
i'm good deal of excitement. Little

two straight heats il was generally con-
coded that he was well chosen. But
there is sometimes slip in horse races as
well rs other things. 'Dan d." proved
to be die PAGER, and after the drivers of
the other horses had tried TO jocky "Dan
D's'' driver by getting him into n pocket
and holding him there for some time,
Mr.. Mcfarland got his dander up and
punished his competitions i'm elegant
shape, disiancing the whole party and
doing it with evident ease. Dan d."

up on any race course. Following Is the

The Pioneer Press says Hon. w. ID.
Washburn. who has just returned from
a carriage trip along the line Of the
Minneapolis Il Pacific to Glenwood,
gives very dubious account of the con-
ditlon of crops throughout the section
which he has visited. After leaving
Wright county he said that he found
the crops in generally bad condition.
Had the drought lasted a week longer
he thought the entire crop of small
grains would have been absolutely
ruined. And even as it is the farmers
are generally depressed. In Pope coun-
ty he did not think there would be
more than One-fourth of a crop. In
Stearns county, especially the lower
part, there will scarcely be halfa crop.
People well posted in Stevens county
saw that if the rain had not come just as
it did they would have had nothing. AS
| il is, they count on from u third to Il
half of crop. There is the same state
of things i'm Kandiyohi, and, indeed,
throughout the whole region. The grain
is from eight to ten inches high and has
not yet stooled. 1t stands thin on the
ground and has an unhealthy color. The
outlook is very dismal indeed.

A CARD FROM MR.. FREEMAN

Editor Free Press:
| have not taken the trouble hereto
fore to publicly deny the insinuation,
that have been made by certain indi
vlduals in reference to my cOngressiona
candidacy, because lie once killed
another can be easily brought to life
1t has been circulated quite extensively
over the district by parties who know
better, and some of whom ] had prev.
iously supposed would be above sucl
slanderous business, that | was practic.
ally out OF the field, that ! would with.
draw from the campaign inside of thirty
days, and that | have been running this
campaign not IN my own interest, but
for the interest of another candidate
and that if could not succeed ! would
transfer my strength to that other party
hereby State on my word of honor
that all such accusations and insinua.
tons are false. | have never made an,
agreement with any other candidate oil
his friends and have never contemplate
eel IL or entertained the idea for mo-
ment to transfer my strength to any
other candidate, and if Blue Earth coun
w Republicans, who have honored me
In the past by their support, will ut this
time show their further confidence in
me by electing delegates favorable to my
candidacy, ] will show them that theil
trust and confidence i'm me has not been
misplaced. T.. L. FREEMAN.

Hutchinson Leader: 1t appears that
the Democratic party in this state is
divided into two factions, one headed
by u. ii. Kelly, called the "peanut
Democracy" and the other, under the
leadership of Hon. Daniel Buck, des-
ignated as the "pop corn Democracy. !"
No blood will flow if they apply no
harsher terms than these to one Other.
But peanuts and popcorn" will be their
rallying cry during the next campaign.
AS far as heard from, the peanut crowd
is on top.

scorch these peanut" vendors to real

master of Minneapolis Tuesday, vice O.
Nj. Laraway, time expired. This ap-
pointment is considered as victory for
DOran over Kelly, as the former en-
dOrsed Ankenv's papers which the lat
ter refused TO do. Probably the real
truth of the matter is that Kelly and
DOran have tacit understanding about
the matter. There are two factions
among the Minneapolis Democrats and
the bosses divided up in order to be ON

covering II multitude of sores between
them. 1t may be admitted that this ap-
