Brains and Money"

A Cleveland organ at the National Conven-
ton recently remarked, in substance, that to
ensure success the Democrats needed brains
and money. The remark applied to the make
up of the national committee. The committee
has since organized and in this connection the
comments Of another Cleveland organ. the
Boston Herald, on its personnel are of interest.
Of the chairman, w. l.. Scott of Pennsylvania,
it is said: "The man who will manage the
Democratic forces as chairman of its executive
committee is worth his millions. Whatever
prominence he has obtained in public affairs
has been from the liberal use of his money.
He is a shrewd and brave business and political
manager. lie has been able to 20 to Congress
from the Erie district which has 1000 Republic
can majority, whenever he pleases. He has
vast interests in railroads, and has a bic pull
with all the corporate interests of the country
Crhe Press of New York. says: ''Wiliam l..
Scott, the coal baron, who pays .ower wages
than any other operator. who employs Pinker-
ton detectives to coerce his miners. who pays
his hands in store orders, and who is generally
denounced by labor organizations as a tvranni-
ca! master, will have charge of MIR. Cleveland's
eampaign.") But to quote again from the
Cleveland organ. The Herald says of Senator
German. of Maryland, who will he one of Mr..
SCOTS strongest assistants" that lie 'i~ enc of
the abest political managers of the day. He is
one of the directors of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad. was at one time president Of the
Chesapeake n Ohio Canal. and. like Mr.. scott
has the confidence of the business and moneyed
influences of the country" Calvin Bruce of
Ohio is spoken of as "a new and strong power
which comes into the Democratic management
this year, and the Herald gives the following
sketch of him:
He is rarely ever in the Buckcye state for
his home and business are in New York, bat as
he lives at Lima. which he practically owns. he
can have Il residence in Ohio and place in il ;
politics without going there very often. He is
one of the most successful business men OF
recent years, and has made millions in the con
troll and consolidation of southern raiIroads
He is power in most of the southern corpora
tons running south from Washington.
This coalition seems to fill the bill As to money
and possibly AS to brains; but what do the
plain people think of these men: The head OF
the committee is man who Expresses hi
workmen and his assistants are Representatives
of railroad corporations. from which they
derive their money and their influence.

BIG MONEY IN THIS.
An Opportunity to Double Your Money
Any Time Without Risk.
One Of the Most Elegant Bar Outfits to
Be Sold at a Great Sacrifice.

Those who have ever visited the sam
pie room of A. H. Knowles. 81 Washing
ton avenue south, and taken note of the
bar, mirrors, sideboard, showcase,
screens and other appurtenances con-
tanned therein, are convinced that they
are the finest and most complete west
of Chicago. In minor details doubt
is expressed if any sample room in the
Lake City equals them, and yet the ell
tire outfit is to be sold prior to Feb. l in
order to vacate the premises Oh that
date. The bar is twenty-fOur feet long
and made of solid mahogany, the upper
part being a single piece of this eXpen-
sive wood. without crack or blemlsh.
while the front is laid off in panels COW
cred with hand-carved figures of vari-
Gus designs. The inner part of the bar
is treated in the same artistic manner,
and contains every convenience per-
tanning to firSt-claSS bar. The mirror
is the largest and most expensive one of
the kind in the country, being divided
into one central plate glass. 96X120
inches, with counterpart on either
side of 72X96 inches, making a. total
glass area of 2,112 square inches, and
the entire surface is surrounded by
heavy, ornate, hand-carved mahogany

artistically hand carved into fruits,
bulbs, ETC., while the ends are supported
by mahogany pilasters with polished
columns at either side of the central
pier. The wide counter at the base of
the glass is of the same material as the
bar, and underneath are closets and
drawers, hid from view by deep, inlaid
panels of hand-carved doors, which
swing upon brass hinges and locked
with polished brass catches. There is a
sideboard of unique and attractive de-
sign of mahogany and plate glass, with
ornate cornice, base and sides, and pol
ished columns in the center. There is
also beveled plate glass screen of 576
inches, encased in an antique oak frame
with heavy cornice and pilasters; a
showcase twelve feet in length, whose
glass is solid plate without break,
while every article of furniture is re-
plete to correspond with their surroud-
ings. The cost of this outfit was over
$4,000, but in order TO close out by the
date specified great sacrifice will be
made, hence any one desiring the finest
and most complete bar outfit in the
country will make big money by seeing

THE LABOR CANDIDATE
For the Police CommissiOn---Ald
DIVERS Strong Exclamation.

Dryers Strong Explanation.
A few days ago, when there was talk
in certain circles of workingman's
candidate for police commissioner, the
GLOBE took occasion to remark that the
Republican parentage. Several little
papers saw fit to tOady to the labor ele-
ment by intimating that the GLOBE was
opposing it. Aid. L. P. Dwyer, who
originated the talk. explains 1T and
shows how he was miScOnStrued and
how the scheme" idea got its start
Said he:
II offered my vote and assistance to
j. P. McGaughey for the police COM
mission, and he declined, as he stated
that he had all arrangements made for
a change localities, L presume). / did
so because | learned that he had been
out of employment, and it was the only
way in which / could help him. 1t was
voluntary on my part, as l take
much delight in elevating those who
have been blackballed by steam or
street railway companies, to position
where they can look down upon their
enemies. But it is a lie that | asked
him to be the Workingmen'S candidate.
l have no authority to do so. 1t is a lie
that six Democratic aldermen asked him
to become a candidate. l simply re-
marked, some time previous, when dis
cusSing the matter, that there were six

men. 1t is lie that any overtures have
been made to leading workingmen to
have them uame candidate. The re-
spOnsibility should rest where it be-
longs, on my shoulders, and if any man
in K. of l.. headquarters has been so
mean and suspicious as to cOnstrue my
motives to be either individual or party
political gains, then l must certainly

But the North Side Improvement
Association BOOmS MerriIy.

ASSoCldtiOH bOOHiS McrrlIy.
There is an association in the pre-
cincts of the Third and Tenth wards
known as the North Side Improvement
association" Its name explains why
it was organized and the reason of its
further existence. Like many larger
and more famous associations it
has its inward disturbances that
make things painful and unpleasant.
For some reasons best known to them
selves the aldermen of these two wards
have so far kept haughtily away from
all the meetings. There were some, last
night, uncharItable enough to hint the
reason. was the civic officers wished to
ride proudly into the fold, without put
ing up the 50-cent fee, and this econ
omical idea was nipped in the bud
by the other members, who had not
SO far attained to the dignities
and em0luments of seat In the coun-
Gil. However this may be, a meeting
was held last night by the members of
the association in Hunts hall, Plymouth
avenue, Capt. Bernard Hunt presiding,
and the matter of the aldermen was dis
cussed. 1t was finally resolved that
committee consisting of Egbert COwles,
w. G. Mcknight and Matt Schulenberg
should call on those gentlemen
with the information they would
be made honorary members, that the
whole workings of the organization
would be explained, and that politics
had nothing whatever to do with the
case. A laugh was raised by some one
calling out ..be sure and get your so
cents first" When this was got through
with and put on the shelf, the committee

THE BLOCKADE RAISED,
And Wheat Again Pouring Into
Minneapolis---The Northwestern


The snow blockade has about been
raised, as far as the railroads are con-
cerned, and wheat is beginning to flow
freely into Minneapolis again. Some
of the country roads are not yet sutfi-
GENTLY open for free hauling, but I'M
less another storm should set in the
wheat receipts of Minneapolis will
make up for lost time. Prices, says
the Market Record. have been
high, compared with other places; and.
with good roads. a large volume will
flow until the gates are closed by drop.
During the month of January receipts
of wheat in Minneapolis have amounted
to 1,GC5, POI bushels, against 2.569. O6O
bushels year ago. Duluth received
504, 739 bushels, against 947, 265 bushels
year ago, making the combined move
ment from interior elevators smaller
than year ago by 1,406,3 25 bushels for
the month. The shortage is the result
of blockadeS, and will be made up now
if the roads can haul in the stuff offered.
After thorough investigation it is
found that farmers deliveries of wheat
from granary have not equaled the
movement from elevators, resulting in a
small decrease in interior elevator
stocks. The principal cause of the light
made so by the heavy, drifting storms.
The surplus wheat in farmers hands
some 14,000,000 bushels-at the begin
ming of January was reduced about
1.500,0 bushels during the month, as
there was a small movement in the
southern section that does not count in
the foregoing calculation. The railroads
are running through cuts of snow lend
ing to them the characteristic features
of so many frozen canals. A moderate
storm would plug them full again, max
ing the possible forward movement still
a question of much uncertainty.
The receipts in Minneapolis the last
two days are $40 cars. The amount
will probably exceed that rate with ia
vOrable weather. That will likely re-
duce elevator stocks in the interior, but
the farmers movement, having been
curtailed by storms, will now increase.
There are points now reporting no farm
deliveries because the elevators are full
and that as soon as they get room to re-
ceive, fair receipts will be turned in.
The demand from the Eastern mills will
be filed to some extent by sending an
average of some sixty cars daily from
interior elevators direct, OH the MilWau-
kee. st. Louis, Northwestern, and Oma-
ha roads, and some from the Manitoba
through the Minnesota Transfer, that
will not appear in either Minneapolis
reports of receipts or shipments. A
large amount is already sold to go out
that way and other sales are being ne
gOtiated. The whole will make, includ-
ing that reported in Minneapolis. some

1ue ACQuifcu ASianu property
Will Not Be a Private Bonanza.
1t seems that w. W. Eastman is likely
to be worsted in his Nicollet island
scheme after all. Some months ago he
began dumping dirt along the east shore
and running ground out to the waters
edge. He followed this up with a prop
ositiOn to make donation to the city,
which stirred up the islanders in a rare
degree. The plan at first seemed very
munificent, but upon investigation it
was ascertained that it was really bo-
nanza for Mr.. Eastman. The new
land has been formed by the
gradual change in the river course
and really belongs to the gov
eminent. The islanders quietly got to
work and with E. NJ. Wilson drew up
bill ceding the land to the city of Min
neapolis. Mayor AmeS approved the
bill and Congressman Edmund Rice in
troduced it in congress Monday. There
is no reasonable doubt of it's passage.
and in that case island property will be
greatly improved. A fine wide street
and park Oh the river will take the
place of the present rather unsightly
appearance now presented. The land
to be ceded is described as follows:
All tnOSe pieces ana StrlpS or land ~
ing between the original government
line as high water mark and the waters
OF the Mississippi river. including those
lands which have been made by accre-
ton thereto, the grant made by this act
being REIMBURSEMENT only of the rights
of the United States in and to said
premises, and to forever remain subject
to the government right to require said
tracts to be removed, if ever deemed eX-
pedient to do SO, for improvements of
navigation of the river, the patent to
issue through the general land Office as
in other cases."
