made the 50 called ''arrangement'' of
two years ago nominate Rock county's
candidate and say nothing more about
it? The Herald says ''he (Brown)

Why, to run for representative and to
support Rock county's candidate for
senator this year, and he carried out
his agreement to the letter. know
that he worked for Helm until O'Clock
in the evening the day of the conven-
tion at Fulda. The Herald says:
''When it became known that Helm
would be the candidate for senator Mr..
Brown offered his support and pledged
him the delegates from Pipestone Co."
rhis is true in part and false III part.
lie never pledged Helm the Pipestohe
delegation. Anybody who knows Mr..
Brown knows he is not the man to
make such a pledge. No one but an
''o:d line" politician assumes to carry a
county in his pocket, and should have
known this was false even if had not
been present and overheard the conver.
sation between Helm and Brown at
Fulda the day Of the convention, when
Mr. Brown ended It by asking Mr..
Helm, "havent done all I could do?"
and Mr.. II. answered, ''yes you have"
and as to Mr.. Browns honesty and sin
cerity in the matter wish to say that
Mr.. Brown worked hard and earnestly
with the Pipestone delegation all the
way from Pipestone to Fulda to get
them to support Mr.. Helm, and told
them that he was not Il candidate, and
every delegate to that convention un-
derstood that he did not seek the place.
and it was in the interest of Helm that
his name was brought before the con-

Rock County Herald abuses him simply
because he has received the nomination
without seeking it and against the
wishes of the political bosses. He is Il
man who is we'll known in the north

some parts Of Murray county, and not
u word can be said against his reputat-

the regular nominee for senator that
did not live in Rock county? How was
it four years ago, when Mr.: Crosby ran
on the regular ticket, and Goodnow
independent? She gave majority for
Goodnow. l do not think however.
that the Herald gives the sentiment Of
the people when it says aught against
Mr.. Brown. for masses OF Rock county

and political bosses, and will give Mr..
Brown. the peoples candidate, 4 good

loon movement within the republican
party, and regards it rs timely aud ex.
pedient because light and necessary.
Resolved, That the saloon system rs
it exists today in the United States is
the enemy of society, u frightful source
Of corruption in politics, the ally Of

ruptly control elections and even leg
fare, and deserves the condemnation
of all good men.
Resolved, That the evils resulting
from that system ought to he and
shall be retrenched within the narrow
est practicable limits.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the sa.

tinue to exist.

The following article concerning the
nomination of Mr.. Brown appeared in
the last issue of the Adrain Guardian.
Mr.. Nelson was at the convention and
speaks from personal knowledge:
noticed in the Rock County Herald
of Sept. an article entitled "A Good
Name Dishonored." ! cannot see the
application of the title to the article.
AS I was present at the Fulda conven-
tion, and we'll acquainted with all the
candidates that were mentioned for SEN
ator in the convention, and also know
something of what the Herald styles
the pledges between Rock and Pipe
stone county, think that 4 few words
to the readers of the Guardian would
not be amiss. The Herald says: 1.-TWO
years ago Rock Co. conceded the
choice Of our representative to Pipestone
county. 1t was commonly understood at
that time in both counties that Rock

Mr.. Bennett and His Contract.

Nelson Bennett OF Deer Lodge. Mont, is
In St. Paul, on his return from New York.
About month ago, at a meeting of the
directors of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, Mr.. Bennett was awarded the
contract for building the Cascade tunnel,
and he has been i'm the Easpever since, pur-
chasing machinery and looking after other
necesSaTies TO carry on the work. Mr..
Bennett has now secured everything, and
will commence operations on the tunnel at
once. and will prosecute the work with
sufficient energy 10 insure its completion by
May, two years hence. being allowed
twenty-eight months to do the work in by
the terms Of the contract.
Mr.. Bennett says he will not have the
drawbacks in commencing the work that
any other contracting firm would. had an
other secured the job. He has the contract
and has the work under way for building
the approaches to the tunnel work. and has
men engaged TO begin work as soon as he is
ready for them to commence. The machinery
which Mr.. Bennett has purchased will be
shipped out by the manufacturers in few
days; In the meantime Mr.. Bennett will 20
out and make all other preparations for
action. The progress at first viii neces-
sarily be slow but, as soon as it is we'll in
hand, and the men are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the work they are perform
ing, they will be able to rush it. Mr.. Ben
nett will doubtless make efforts to complete
the work before the time limit expires, and
probably he can. The machinery used
nowadays for such work Is improved and
makes better progress in tunnel construc-
ton, especially on rock work, as il is on the
Cascade Mr.. Bennett will to-day make
nnal arrangements with the Northern Pacific
IN 81. Paul. and will then proceed West.
Chief Engineer Anderson will probably ac-
company him West. and the two will look
over the work together. The location for
the tunnel was made some time ago, and
little time will be lost in beginning in this
respect Ii will be a summit tunnel 9, $50
feet long. at an altitude of ASS feet above
the sea level. The summit will be reached
by maximum grade of 116 feet to the
mile. Mr.. Bennett will receive for its con-
struction nearly $500, 600.

forbios the division of funds set apart for
one purpose to another, as long as the board

there will be no complaint from the public.

lures made to date. and especially with
reference to the general expense account of
$50, 600, and of what is included in the
estimate for the So, 900 contingent referred
to in the report, the newspapers will give
the whole matter the widest circulation that

giving the public such information as will
result in intelligent understanding of the

THE ROMANCE OF A SENATOR,

SAMPSON had his DELILAH. MARC
ANTONY his CLEOPATRA. and now SEN
ator JONES has his Detroit woman. The
Florida senator had reached that age when
it is supposed that life is rified Of its senti-
ment and the heart is too old aud cold to be
warmed by affections glow. Like all
statesmen who have elaboration and public
care engraven OH their foreheads, it is sup
posed that the ambition of a senator will
not lead him beyond the study of grave
constitutional problems and the discussion
of affairs pertaining TO the destiny of ma
tons. And so it was that one day
as the Florida senator happened 70
be enlightening the grave and dig
nified body of which he has so long
been a conspicuous member on the eonsti-
tutional points Of an important measure
pending before that body, an ust as he
was engaged in unfolding the most intricate
feature of the whole matter his eye CHANGED
to glance toward the gallery. 1t was fatal
ocular movement for the senator. Perched
in the gallery above him was maiden from
the PARKWAY Northl and listening TO the
feryid eloquence of the Southern orator.
AS they exchanged glances there went out
an imperceptible infue nee like a golden
chain which wound itself around the heart
of the dignihed statesman and from that
hour the constitution, the Welt are OF the
country, the grace and dignity of the SEN
ate chamber. all lost their charms for him.
High ambition and the thirst of greatness
were lost in love. The recollection of those
lustrous eyes grew into his very soul, warm
ing every vein and beating in every pulse.
There came day soon afterward when the
seat of the senior senator from Florida was
vacant: He was gone. and no one knew
whittier. Day after day and week after
week rolled by. and still no tidlngs of the
absent senator. Hundreds OF ofiice-seeking
visitors came from the pine lands and the
orange groves of Florida to the national
capital, but they could find no Senator
! JONES to plead their cause before the APP
pointing power. Billiards from the North
west swept down over the land of flowers,
chilling and killing the orange blossoms,
but the wailing Of his people i'm their
misfortune did not reach the ears
of the senator. He was far away
up on the northern boundary by the frozen
lakes wOrshipping at the shrine of Venus.
The senatorial toga had been laid aside and
the dignity of craftsmanship had been cast
