AN SUGGESTION.

In view Of the fact that many sec
lions of the Southern states haye been
and are now suffering from that dread
full plague. yellow fever, q fact which
must naturally be followed by dire dis
tress ard untold want to many OF 1ile
roorer inhabitants Of the stricken dis
tricis, would it not be we'll for
the different 4. O. Fl, divisions OF Min
,lesota 10 give their mite in this hour
Of need. Each division could give
something to alleviate the sufFerings OF
ansff9icted people. 1t would certainly be
noble Christian act-an act that on:
brethren Of the South would not soon
forget. TIE IRISH STANDARD makes
this suggestion with the utmost good
faith, believing it to be q matter worthy
OF our consideration.

MERRIAM's hard ROAD,

Another stumbling block for Merriam
and his Doodle crowd to tear their hair
over. Julius S. Alderman of Carver
county has refused to serve on the Re-
publican state central committee, and
has written letter to Charm an Newell
giving as his reason for such action,
that he cannot serve on the committee
while the charges Of bribery and cor
ruption which have been made remain
unanswered. To say that the letter was
surprise is putting it mildly, it was
SIMPLY a thunderbolt and the committee
does not know what to do. When these
charges of bribery were made by the
followers of Mr.. Scheffer, the friends Of
Mr.. Merriam took it for granted that
the storm would soon blow over, but III
this they were mistaken. Mr.. Acke--
man had the courage Of his convictions;
he was not afraid to inform the bosses

LOCAL POLITICS.

The local political war is at white
heat, and the candidates for offices are
growing thicker every day. 1t is safe
to say that there are at least twelve
candidates in both Democratic and Re
publican parties for the thirty nine al
dermanic Offices to be tiled. This army
of candidates is at work day and night
now. The Republican ones think they
will have no difficulty in securing their
election, once they are nominated, and
the Democratic asplrants are equally as
hopeful. Three aldermen are to be
elected from each ward, TWO for a te N
Of two years, and one for term Of four
years. The great fight seems to centre
on who shall get the nomination FOR the
four year term. Most OF the present
incumbents 4re candidates for d re-
nomination, and though they have not
said so publicly, are quietly working to
that end. How many Of them will be
successful remains to be seen. Most OF
the Democratic city fathers are deserv-
ing of denomination as we'll rs Of a
reelection, but few of the opposition
merit anything but defeat. They op-
posed everything that the majority in
troduced in the council for the past two
years, not because 1t was not for the
benefit of the City, but because it was
introduced by Democrats, and if passed
would benefit the city as we'll as the
party that was the means to that end.
Several reforms were introduced in
the local government. but because the
Democratic party would get the credit
of doing anything Of a reformatory ma
ture these party followers fought these
measures. This is the way the Repub-
lican members of the city council who
are now seeking a re- nomination 'sacted
for the best interests of the people"

MARSHAL BAZAINE is dead. The
cause of his death was heart disease
and took place last Sunday at Madrid,
where he had been living in a state of
absolute mendicancy. Francis Schiller
says Bazaine's life was not q remark
able one, and resembled in many re-
spects other French generals who have
risen in the army. Ele was born in Yer.
sailles in 1911. He Joined the French
army over half a century ago, and rose
step by step Until he reached the proud
position of marsha, of France. The
war with Germany was at once the
cause of lis highest distinction and
deepest disgrace fter the first re-
verses of France in this war, Bazaine
took command Of the main armies of
the empire. In August, 1870, he began
a retreat from Metz. the history of
which is we'll known. He fought and
lost the battles Of Mars La Tour and
Gravelotte and was driven back on
Metz, which position he was compelled
to surrender in October. Nearly 200, 900
officers and mon fell into the hands OF
the enemy and were made prisoners OF
war. Bazaine fed to England. This
awful blow to the military pride of the
French people was followed in 1873 by
the trial of Bazajne by court martial for
having failed to do his duty. He was
sentenced to degredati On and death.
Mcmahon. President of TIE French re-
public, committed the sentence to i'm
prisonment for 20 years in fortress.
Bazaine was taken to this Isle Sainte
Marguerite, in the Mediterranean sea,
from whence he escaped after nine
months imprisonment. He visited
Germany and England, then removed to
Spain and made his residence at Madrid.

that he was a sheep Of another color
and could not follow his party into the
mire of political corruption. This is a
terrible state Of affairs; it goes to show
thai the Republican party of Minnesota
did not stop at even reckless methods
to nominate Merriam. The effect Of
Ackerman's unexpected resignation
will, no doubt be, to drive all decent
Republicans into the Democratic camp.
They cannot conscientiously support
their party's nominee. but they can vote
for the Hon. E.. M. Wilson, whose record
IS above reproach, and in whose ability
to conduct the affairs of the guberna-
torial Office every person who knows
him, has got the greatest confidence.

THE RECOMMENDING PARTY

It is quite evident that the new Know
Nothing party is not going to cut much
of a figure in the present campaign.
1t is dead almost before being born.
Even the promoters of the party aid
it's schemes acknowledge themselves
disgusted. The organ of the party was
q paper published at Chicago, manned
America, and it's two editors ATTENDED
the convention recently held in Wash
ington, and the following extract is
taken from an editorial in their paper
On their observations:
1.-THE editors of America who attend.
ed the Convention feel that their time
was we'll spent, as they learned just
what the American party is and just
who are it's leaders. They learned that
the majority Of the managers are a set
of cast-of political tramps vino are en-
gineering the scheme at the instigation
Of greater powers, with a view to SELL
ing out the organization to the highest
bidder
The same paper thus refers to James
Langdon Curtis, the nominee of the
party for President:
''Mr. Curtis is an aged millionaire. :.
Once on a time he ran for Governor Of
Connecticut. and received about $50
votes. A few years ago he lost his wife.
Since then he has been a. spiritualist,
and about time the call was issued for
q National American Convention, he
received communication from Caleb
Gushing, from the spirit world, inform
ing him that he was to be the next
President of the United States. This
was received as call to take leader
ship of the new party, and being made
known to a set Of designing men in
New York, opened the Way for a JOB.
which they proceeded to put up.''
There is no room in the United
States, above all countries in the world,
for party advocating the ideas Of the
American party. The pros
perity of the country depends chiefly
upon an element that the "American"
party would close it's doors against.

guGLANUs INTEREST IN CANADA

ENGLAND'S INTEREST IN CANADA.
"Will England fight for Canada?' is
p question that many Canadians are
asking themselves to day in conse.
ouence of the unpleasant relations now
existing between the United States and
the Dominion. The Quebec Budget
undertakes to give al answer to the
question and in doing 80 discusses the
subject with great deal of logic. The
Budret has no hesitation In saying that
England will not fight for Canada. It
is all very well to figure England, or
any other monarchy for that matter,
fighting fol others good, but there is
ALWAYS more Or less selhshness in Eng.
lands fights. Ittherefore resolves itself
into this that England would fight for
Canada il she was likely to gain any,
thing thereby, and if she dare do so
with safety to herself. In the first
place then England has no interest in
lighting for Canada against the States.
She would gain nothing by it. Canada
is daily drawing closer to the United
States, both in her commercial, her
social and her political relations. Just
as she is drawing nearer TO the United
States. so is she separating herself
further from the mother country in her
trade relations, adopting policy that
fayors other countries at England's ex
nense. British statesmen find that they
cannot succeed in checking this by
making a howl against the differential
duties imposed by the Canadian Gov
arument in favor Of Canadian trade and
manufactures, and which tell SO heavily
AGAINST British manufacturers and the
appropriations into Canada Of English
merchandise. England will therefore
have no se.f-interests in fighting for
Canada against the United States and
+ha all important incentive being lack
inc il would be vain to look for military
assistance to the mother country, even
# Canadians could be SO foolhardY as to
desire hostilities with their American
noiohbors. Such desire however, can
not possibly he entertained by them.
They know that the retaliation is not
directed against Canadians, but against
england and the school OF English
statesmen of which the traitor Cham
herlain may he taken AS specimen.

WHYdoes Rev. G.. T.. Morril single
out the Democratic candidate for county
superintendent of schools from the
balance of the ticket and urge his
defeat? Is it because he really believes
he ia incompetent. as he claims, for
that position, or is it blind to some
thing deeper and more contemplate?

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

Secretary Landberg Of the Democratic
state central committee has received
letters from almost all the chairmen of
the different county committees
throughout the state. All these com
munications, without exception, are
most encouraging. In almost all the
counties, and particularly in the north
ern part of the state, there is a great
deal of dissatisfaction over the way
would be Governor Merriam secured
his nomination. The independent Re-
publicans are disguised, and openly as
sert they can not, and will not vote for
bin; that they might be constrained to
follow their party to defeat had the
Democrats not nominated 3. M. Will
son, but since such a clean honorable
man as he, is in the field for Governor,
they will blot out party lines, and vote
for Mr.. Wilson.
~
Many leading Republicans of the
state write that they regret exceedingly
that they cannot support the head Of
their state ticket; that the party must
be taught a lesson, it necessary by de-
feat, in order to raise it above the Doodle
barrel, and the sooner il receives such a
lesson the better. Such language as
this is, coming from the bosom friends
of the "grand old party" cannot BIZ be-
cause OF disappointment in not getting
a place on the state ticket. as the
writer's are above asking for such hon.
ors, and would not accept any, if re-

since the campaign opened. are very
gratifying to Democrats in general, and
their standard bearer, Mr.. Wilson, in
particular. Every town that this cham
pion of Democracy has visited, is alive
with enthusiasm for the cause he repre-
sents. His campaign is not one of per-
sonal abuse of his opponents, but what
is far more important to the people OF
the state, the issues of the day. Every
place where this expounder of Demo-
cratic truths has been, Republicans
have come to him, and assured him of
their fidelity to the cause of reform;
they admit that the "grand old party''
Is no longer what it pretends to be, and
to protect themselves and the state they
must advocate tariff reform. The re-
suit of this change of front has struck
terror into the hearts of the Republican
leaders. They are endeavoring to send
abroad the idea that the party of the
people is trying to abolish the protective
system entirely, and open up the coun-
try to the cheap labor of Europe. These
Misrepresentation of the partY's plat.
form which advocates equal rights to
all, are not meeting with the desired
success and several barrels have been
ordered tapped to carry the state at anv
cost. But the people demand radical
reduction of the tariff and will not be
satisfied with anything else and they
can only hopefor this in the election Of
the Democratic ticket.
