Teachers in Session.

The Rural Teachers Association held
its regular meeting at the German
Street school-house last Saturday after
noon. The full programme, as pub
i shed in the Review at the proper time,
was carried out to the letter and a live
interest manifested by all present The
attendance was satisfactory, even teach
ers from Nicollet County being present
aud quite number from the western
parts of this county. Yet is it desir-
able that all join their efforts for the
common good of the rural pedagogues,
and especially should those teachers at
tend, who live and work but short dis
lance from the county seat. A lack Of
interest on their part is but proof Of a
failure to profit by measures enacted
for their good, and we generally find a
ack of enthusiasm only with those who
are the lowest in rank and without am
bition.

REVIEW.
We regret very much that it is our
duty this week to mention the incident
that occurred on Third street Friday
night of last week. Two popular
young freight conductors were the par.
Elephants of a disgraceful quarrel which
almost ended in a tragedy, inasmuch as
one received an ugly knife wound
which might have terminated his life
but for the care of friends and the skill
of DR.. Workman, who was as ever,
prompt in his attendance. The COM
batants were conductors Jas. Cronen
and Cor. Leadburg, both prominen
| and influential railroad men, who have
lways borne the rest of a reputation as
gentlemen and pea ce-abiding citizens
Very little is known of the cause of the
trouble. as both men had always been
| fast friends, and neither will enter com
plant. Leadburg was the one most in
jured, and he received a bad cut two
inches long and bout the same depth.
in the region of the groin. he is now
confined to his bed and his kindest at.
tendant is the one who Injured him.
The whole affair is a mystery, even tc
the men engaged in it. Both men are
temperate so that liquor can not be
taken into consideration at all, and it is
gratifying TO know that all is serene
and the men have forgiven each other
We understand that both have been
discharged from service. TRACY TRUM.

THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

The nomination of Mr.. CANNING by
the Democrats of the Fifth district not
only makes that former stronghold of
Republieanism debatable ground, but 1t
demonstrates the purpose of the Min
neSOta Democracy to make an aggresS-
i've fight on the great issue of the cam
paign.
Party ties rest lightly on the people
this year, because there is an issue pre-
scented of higher consideration. and
bearing more directly upon the masses,
than the mere question of party fealty.
The national Republican party having
seen fit to declare itself in favor OF
system that is hostile to the interests of
the bulk of the people of this state,
it need not be matter OF sur
prise to see them break away from
party as they are doing in the Fifth
district, and array themselves on the
side of tariff reform and in opposition
TO CORPORATION rule. The nomination
of Mr.. CoMsTOCK was dictated by the
great railroad corporation which he had
served as an attorney, and was forced
upon the Republican party in defiance
of popular sentiment in the district. 1t
is but natural, then, that the farmers OF
the Fifth district should seek to mani
fest their independence of railroad
domination by asking the nomination of
one of their own class at the hands of
the Democratic party, and the Demo
Gratis acted wisely in acceding to their
demands,

THE TWO LETTERS.

Both of the candidates for the presi-
dency have given their letters of ac-
ceptanee to the public. Each dis
cussed the national issue. Both con-
cede that a material reduction in ma
tiOnal taxation is necessary, so that
revenue receipts may not be largely in
excess of needful expenditures. But
there is difference in the way this OBJ
iect is proposed to be accomplished.
The Republicans demand an abolition
OF the liquor and tobacco taxes as a
means to that end. The Democrats, on
the other hand, propose that the tariff
shall be the first field for refOrmatOry
work. They hsld that the people re-
quire relief from excessive and need
less burdens. To this Candidate HAIR
RIsON, speaking for the Republicans,
responds: Eyes, fellow citizens, we
know you are taxed too much; We
know that the government is taking
many millions from your earnings, for
which it has no possible use; we will
give you relief-yes, we will cheaper
your whisky, beer and tobacco"
But the Democrats meet the cry for
relief with very different proposition.
They propose to cut down the taxes on
clothing, blankets, and household neces-
sites, and on goods that all families
consume, and for lack of which the
working poor are now suffering because
such goods are so highly taxed as to be
beyond their means.
The working people are not calling
for cheap whisky or tobacco. They de-
sire those indispensable commodities on
which the Republican party have i'm
| posed high dnties with the sole purpose
of fostering monOpOlies. In addition to
this, the policy of protection has stimu-
lated production until many thousands
of workingmen are thrown out of en-
! pIoyment by the closing of mills and
| factories. The protection fence has
| shut out the manufactures of Europe,
has compelled the workers of Europe to
come inside the fence and compete
with American labor, thus reducing
wages until it meets point equivalent
! to bare subsistence. Actual, substan-
| tial relief is demanded, not the insult
proposed of cheap whisky and low
priced tobacco. The poor are not call
ing for cheap whisky, but cheap cloth
ing, hats, shoes, blankets, sugar and
| tea.
This is the difference.

Harrison and Irish-Americans.

NeW 1OTk SidT.
William Condor, of Bloomington, Ill.,,
in a letter to r. r. Jones, of East Ran
dolph, in this state, teStifeS that at q
meeting held at Bloomington shortly
before the election in November, 1876,
BENJAMIN Harrison used this language:
ut is easy to know that mans race !;
you all know what they are. If it were
not for them we would not need half of
our penitentiaries. which are almost
full of them. They have no intelligence.
They are only good to shovel dirt and
grade railroads. for which they receive
more than they are worth, as they are
no acquisition to American people"
The race he referred to was the Irish,
and the man his language referred to
was an IriShman who interrupted Har-
rison with a question and was being
put out of the hall for doing so. The
question which he asked, which was
elected by some remark of the speaker,
was this:
"How about the Irish, and where
were Meagher, Sheridan, Shields, Null
ligan and the Others?"
Mr.. Condor says that he has often re-
lated the circumstance, and that the
language is fixed in his mind beyond
possibility of doubt.
Schuyler Colfax spoke at the same
meeting, and the letter relates many in
cidents of the evening which show how
great an impression the question made
on Mr.. CondOn's mind. The letter was
published last week, and has now been
several days before the public without
any contradiction. There is no doubt
that Harrison uttered these sentiments,
which are iu accord with the eonvic-
lions and declarations of his early life,
as well as with the political principles
learned from his father, who was a

CHARLES CITY, TO-, Sept. 12.-'Fhe
Fourth congressional convention, in ses-
sion here, seems to be in deadlock.
Eighty-five ballots have been taken
with no change whatever. Fuller re-
ceived SO, Sweeny AZ, McHugh 80,
improbable that Fuller will be nomi-
mated, and it is reported that he will
soon divide his forces, a greater part of
his support going to McIugh. The fol-
lowing resolution has been prepared
and will be adopted before the adjourn
ment of the convention:
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the
platform adopted by the Republican national
convention and the resolutions adopted by
the state convention; that we appreciate the
faithful and honest services renuered
by William E. Fuller as representative
in congress; that we will actively use all pos
S1ble means to secure the election of the en-
tire Republican ticket this fall, believing that
Ill doing so we shall subserve the best inter
ests of our country and restore the govern
ment into the hands of its friends.
The Union Labor party in convention
here to-day nominated Calamity Weller
for congress. There will be no fusion
in this district with the Democrats, as
the latter will nominate either l.. L..
AinswOrth or John Foley, of Chickasaw.
The district has Republican majority
of 1000.
There was no change in the balloting
until the 14Sd ballot was reached, when
l.. +. Fellows received one vote. This
vote was increased to fifteen. Fellows
declined to be candidate and the 151st
ballot stood as the first. The 225th bal
lot was reached without any show of
nominating candidate.

The Plea Made by the Farm
ers Of the Fifth Dis
tpiet.
Tariff Reform Gaining Ground
Among Them and Making
Votes
For Canning, Wilson and
Cleveland, Leaders Against
High Taxes.
Eugene Wilson Royalty Re-
eeived by the Farmers at
Fergus Falls.

To the Democratic leaders the NOM
ination of Charles Canning for congress
in the Fifth district appears to be one
of the most important steps ever taken
by the party. 1t is the first complete
recognition in this state of the granger
element by one OF the old parties. The
Farmers Alliance. led by Sprague,
Haigh, Barrett, Hixson, and other
noted farmers, ever since its inception
in 1880, has demanded of both the old
parties that they accept Alliance plat
forms and endorse Alliance candidates
for important Offices. The Republican
party met the demands with trickery
or an absolute refusal to recognize the
Alliance. In 1856 in a measure the
Democracy conceded the business of
their claims, and by its platform and
candidates gave the alliance indirect
recognition. This year the alliance
leaders took up Scheffer and asked of
the Republicans their Endorsement of
him and a acceptance of its platform.
Its requests were met with gratultOuS
insults to Mr.. Scheffer and the refusal
OF the Republican committee on plat
form to recognize the farmers platform
presented by Gen. Barrett. The dele
gates of the convention when he pre-
scented the platform to them laughed
and booted at him. 1t was made plain
from the beginning to end that the Re-
publicans had no intention of giving the
farming element the recognition due it.
Furthermore, the Republicans endorsed
the national system of high taxes,
which the farmers of Minnesota have
almost unanimously denounced. 1t
was not to be wondered then that the
farmers nrnSnnt at thn RnnnhliRan
yention left it disguised and mad. They
saw that they had been made dupes of
and trapped to further selfish political
schemes. 1t was then with surprise
and pleasure that the farmers assem-
bled at Fergus Falls on Tuesday found
the Democracy ready to nominate a
farmers candidate and pass platform
dealing directly with their interests.
MIR. Canning was nominated without
his having solicited single vote or
stating that he desired the honor.

COLE CONGRATULATED.
An Eminent Ex-Kepubiican Has
Something to say ofPOlitieS.

Gen. Gordon E. Cole, Faribault. Dear
Sir: The Minneapolis Free Trade club
is indebted to you for an excellent adj
dress advocating it's mission. 1t is also
indebted to the Authoritative Tariff
league of Minnesota, of which you are
the president, for valuable free trade
pamphlet, to which is appended your
leagues constitution, signed by your
self. Hon. B. b. Herbert and Tams Blk
by, of Red Wing; Gen. j. II. Baker, of
Rapidan; Judge William Lewis Kelly,
E. J. Hodgson and Rev. S. q. Smith, of
st. Paul. and by other leading Republic
cans of this state. To it is also attached
an address from your league Ito the
people of Minnesota" wherein,
after showing how, the so-called
American system of protection has
developed. the league says: ''Such is
the history of protection in this country
for the past quarter century. A sys-
TEN so perniciOus in its effects upon the
industries it was designed to bless,
could not fail to cast its blighting in
fluenee over those it did not assume to
protect. 1t has destroyed our merchant
marine. stripped us of our South Amer
lean trade, and stimulated other ma
tions to adopt retaliatory tariffs against
uS.1
Continuing, the league says: "Un-
less the cost of production is reduced,
unless they can raise wheat cheaper
than before, there is little hope of profit
to our wheat growers. TO do this the
cost of living, of transportation
and of agricultural machinery must
be reduced upon each of these
elements of production the existing
tariff imposes its heavy burden of taxa

screw or bolt, or piece of iron, steel
| or leather in his the farmer's) farm
| machinery, no implement or tool, not
! even his hoe, pillow, spade, schthe or
| protected capital. For
twenty-four consecutive years 'protec-
| ton has been tested here. If, at the
close of this period, it is true that the
! favored industries are unable to sup
| port themselves-if they cannot sustain
even as slight reduction of the tax as
| proposed by the Morrison bill, then the
experiment Is a failure. y 1t
is not right to tax one man
| for another'S gain. Every
attempt in congress to ma
| terially reduce the tariff tax has hitherto
| failed. A mysterious but overpowering
| influence has stihed the voice and
| thwarted the work of reform. 1t is time
| for the people to speak. We
| believe that the existing tariff taxes
should be gradually and Systematically
reduced until the element of protection
is eliminated from them. That duties
upon imports. like all other taxes,
| should be levied for revenue only, and
only so much should be collected as Is
