THE BIGGEST TRUST.

The biggest trust of all, the most
grasping, the most ayaricious, AFRO
giant, and insolent; the most unscru-
puious and the most defiant, is to be the
found in the Republican convention.
1t is the trust" of the monopolists. 1t
is the concentration and essence of all
trusts, since combining to form it are
the head centers, the chief representa-
tives of all the minor trusts.
As is the supremacy of the devil over
all the imps, so is the supremacy of this
arch trust over its minor conStitu-
cuts. Its members. finding themselves,
as the result of deliberate calculation
and smooth manipulation, in the
supremacy in the convention, have
combined for ot1ense and de-
tense. They are prepared to ride
rough-Shod over the people on
their iron horses. with DEPEw as
their preferred leader. But whosoever
it may seem best to them to place at the
front, the result will be the same They
know that the power is theirs, and they
will not hesitate to use it. But the mon
opoIists' trust does not appreciate the
power of the people reused in their
might. They have slain monsters be-
fore, and they are strong enough to dc
1t again. In no combat nave they ever
entered so gladly, so earnestly, so de-
tcrminedly as they will enter that to
which the monopolists' trust invites
them.
Viewing the splendid record of Veto
ries which has marked the peoples self.
assertion in the past, there Is no room
TO doubt the outcome now.

United for Victory.


New 1ork Star.
The Democratic party is not dis
tracted by any important local of fac
tional divisions, jealousieS OF SeceSsions,
as it was four years ago. There will be
more Democratic votes poiled for the
ticket this year than then. Cleveland
has gained strength, and Thurman is,
to say the least, as popular candidate
as Hendricks was.
AS we have seen by recent express
sions of influential independent papers,
Thurman's popularity is not limited by
strict party lines. Independents hail
his nomination as the best possible. Re-
publicans admire him exceedingly. His
early opposition to the Chinese in
vasiOn renders him the favorite of the
Pacific coast, and his steadfast anti
monopoly championship of popular
rights against the jobbery and oppres-
sion of the great corporations has made
him the idol of workmen and labor Or
carnations.
These unquestionable facts render it
impossible for any fair mind to see the
slightest ground for Republican hope Of
reversing the national verdict of 1854.

among the Republicans at present, one
week previous to holding the district
convention. The scheme to again bring
Strait - the front in preference to the
one-armed GielGeeae soldier, of which
/ spoke two weeks ago, caused such
murmur OF discomfort to peryaao seNery-
thing that the manipulatorS of the po-
litical machine are actually becoming
frightened, and instead of again bring
ing the Shakopee favorite forward for
the nomination, they have decided to
alter their course. They panty see
that ii they should succeed in ma
chine-nominating him he would be
ANONYMOUSLY defeated, and they do
not dare to make the attempt. The man
whom they have now determined to
push upon the Republican convention,
regardless of the preferences of the
voters of the district, is none other
than Lieut.. Gov. A. E. Rice, of Willmar.
Regardless of his refusal to enter the
contest they have determined to force
the nomination upon him, using the old
chestnut ''the call to duty from party"
as the bait. They believe that he is the
only man who can redeem ~ the dis
trict from Democratic ''misrule," and
his nationality is the great drawing
card with which they will adorn him.
The first attempt to bring him to the
front in connection with the nomination
originated in Goodhue county, and,
|. strange to say, among those who are
generally supposed to be unfavorable to
Strait. AT first his candidacy was
laughed at, but when it became evil
dent that the Republican voters would
have nothing of Strait, the lat
ter's supporters determined to throw
their influence for Rice in prefer
ence to Reed, who had been
their lifelong enemy. They believe
that by thus catering to the preferences
OF Goodhue county they can once more
bring themselves on friendly terms with
the politicians there and thus, two
Republican platform. So they are
straining every nerve to bring Rice to
the front. Goodhue county is to give
him her fourteen votes on the first bal
lot; Kandiyohi, his home, will con-
tribute her seven, while Rice. Scott and
Carver, with their fourteen, will swell
the total to thirty-five, and thus insure
the nomination of the Willmar man on
the first ballot. Then, they believe, the
contest will already be won, for no one
Will dare to contend for prestige with a
Scandinavian in a district so largely
made up Of parties of that nationality.
These are the plans for the present.
Even Rice may be withdrawn before the
convention meets, and perhaps after all
the politicians are only working a
scheme in the interest of Strait. This it
will be impossible to definitely state be-
fore the convention has been held. One
thing, however, is certain. The Re
publican nominee for congress in the
Third district will be either IL. B. Strait
or A. E. Rice.
OF course, this scheme and the motive
which prompts it is an insult to the
Scandinavian voters, and one they will
not forget for years to come, but what
are the politicians for?

TROUBLE is BREWING.
The Trunk Lines May Engage in
War Of Dressed Beef Rates
During Fink'S Absence


CHICAGO, June 2O.-Apparently we'll
founded rumors in Chicago railroad cir
Giles point to a hostile outbreak in
dressed beef rates. To-day was the day
set by Commissioner Fink for
his departure on a European
vacation, and it is generally feared that
in his absence, free from his influence
and example, the trunk lines will plunge
into the fight that has so long been
brewing. An open rupture was immi-
lost patience and insisted on
meeting of the trunk line
presidents to consider its demand for
differential rate, like that enjoyed by
the Grand Trunk, and appropriated
without leave by the L. ckawanna. AS
a result of the conference the dressed
beef tariff was cancelled and all the
roads were left free to meet the cut of
the Lackawanna, but it was agreed that
this action should not be made
public within certain specified
period, during which the commissioner
could go away without seeming to leave
the affairs of the roads in bad shape.
The selection of Vice President Hay
Fink'S place while he is abroad, is re-
garded as significant. In Chicago
it was confidently expected that
Chairman Blanchard would be called
upon to temporarily preside over the
Trunk Line association, and it was a
great surprise to many persons that he
was not chosen as a matter of course
In this connection the gossipers refer to
the fact that Mr.. Blanchard is quite as
conservative as MIR. Fink in the
matter of observing fixed rates
and maintaining tariff rates, while
Mr.. Hayden has all along been all advo-
cate of making reductions necessary to
secure a fair distribution of the tonnage.
If it was in consideration of this fact
that the choice of temporary chairman
fell upon the New York Central Official,
the theory that a cutting of rates is soon
to be commenced is plausible enough.

CLEVELAND TALKS.
Policy of the administration and
Prospects for Reelection.

AOSROOtC AOA
Washington Special.
A New York Democrat, who repre-
sents this country at European court
and who is personal friend of the
president, had il lengthy interview with
Mr.. Cleveland last Friday. The con-
versatiOn was unreserved as to the policy
of the administration and the prospects
for reelection. A press representative
was enabled to gather from the reticent
| minister few of the topics discussed in
the informal talk. The president .ex-
pressed himself as entirely pleased with
the attitude of the Democratic party
upon the tariff question. He maiTlt
tains that the canvass before the
pc ,ple will show that the Democrats
have the popular side. 1.-The eoun7
try will not much longer endure
| an excessive system of taxation"
said the president, that creates such a
dangerous surplus in the treasury, and
the good sense OF the people demands
that taxes upon necessities shall be the
first to be reduced. The Republicans,
| forced to do something. may seek to
| abolish the internal revenue taxes, but
the people will emphatically declare
| Tor cheaper clothing than cheaper
| whisky" All
The complaints of the civil service re
| formers that he has not earnestly and so
far as was possible faithfully enforced
| the civil service law, the president re-
CARDS as peeyish display of gross ignor-
ance. or worse, ingratitude, upon their
| part. He recalled with considerable
feeling the fierce opposition he encoun-
| tered In the first years of his admins
tratlon because of his determined efforts
to preserve with the strictest fidelity the
| pledges of his letter Of acceptance for the
reform of the civil service. He then
stood almost alone, and bore with pa
thence the odiHm of his policy from his
own party and the arrangement of life
long friends, that was the consequence
of his position.
"And," added Mr.. Cleveland, "despite
the storm of protest and first great wave
OF opposition that almost swept over
me, held firmly to my pledges. The
law has been executed, as is already ev-
idenced now after nearly four years of
severe trial in all departments of the
government. Under the protection of

forced, the great majority of the gov

Dishonoring the Flag.



In their anxiety to Offset the red BAN
dana the sham Republicans propose to
make ''nose-wipe" of the American
flag. They also propose to alter the ma
tional colors by putting an additional
star upon them, no doubt to represent
monopoly. This is in keeping with the
early history of the Republican party,
whose chief organ, the New York Trib-
une, gave vent to the hatred of its party
for the old flag in the well-known dis
loyal stanZaS beginning:
Tear down the Haunting liel
Half mast the starry flag!
Insult no sunny sky
With hate's polluted rag.'
The sham Republicans of to-day who
propose to wipe their noses with the flag
of the country, might appropriately
change theTribune poetry SO as to read !:
For workingmen the stripe,
For monopoly the star,
And for us a flag nose-wipe,
Only SO we do get thar"
