ABUNDANT EVIDENCE.
Thc gs0use Committee on Immi-
grafton and Contract Labor
Has seen Enough.
Over 800 Canadian Carpenters En-
ployed at Detroit to the Exclusion
of American Workmen.
Those Who Bear the Burden OF Taxation
Should Enjoy the Benefit OF
American Wages.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Mr Ford, chair
man of the house committee on immi-
grafton and contract labor, has returned
from Michigan, where he has been en-
gagged during the past few weeks in tax
ing testimony. The evidence taken,
MIR. Ford says, was of such an important
character, showing as it does palpable
violations of the contract law, that the
committee has decided that it is unnec-
essary to take further testimony and the
committee will not, therefore, visit Prov
idence, II. l., in the pursuit of their in
quiries. At Detroit, Mich, Mr.. Ford
said it was developed that in the carpen-
ters' trade alone, over 800 Canadians
were employed to the exclusion of Amer
leans. Among the working girls en-
ployed in retail stores, among the en-
ployes of the street Car companies, among
the lumbermen, large number, perhaps
a majority of all, were Canadians. Mr..
Ford is now preparing his report in &C
cordance with the evidence adduced.
The committee is united, and the central
idea in the report, around which all 9TH
ers will cluster, win be that all persons
who do not share the burdens and respon-
sibilities of this government, but only en-
Joy it's prosperity and profit by its high
wages, shall be excluded.

AEExANDER's SENTENCE
COMMITTED.

On Tuesday, January LIST, Governor
McGill acted upon the case of Henry
Alexander, in whose behalf petition
was recently circulated here, and COM
muted the prisoners sentence of life I'M
prisonment to term of six years, less
the time allowed by law for good con-
duct. This will allow Alexander to come
out q free man February Goth, 1890
The crime for which he is serving, it
will be well remembered, was the MUIR
der of Lycurgus Thornton in the Man
kato House in the summer of 1884.
The following letter from Alexander
was received to-day by the editor of this
paper, and it explains itself:
SALTWATER, Mimi, Jan. j, 1889.
DEAR SIR should have written you
before this to acknowledge the kindly
interest you have taken in the recent
efforts to secure o Communication of my
sentence, but thought it better to wait
until could send you some definite
news as to the action the Governor
would take IN the case. / am thankful
TO say that His Excellency has commut-
ed my sentence to term of six years
less time allowed by law for good con-
duct. which will make the date of the
expiration of my sentence February 26.
1890. To say that am thankful would
very poorly express my feelings of graft
tude toward those good people of Man
kato who have stood by me 30 nobly IN
my time of need and most prominently
among them yourself. cannot thank
you or them sufficiently with my pen,
but trust that when am once more
free man my actions may show that j
am not unworthy of yours and their
great kindness. / feel like new man.
Hope is once more revived, and a heavy
burden is taken of my shoulders. One
very agreeable feature of my commuta-
ton is the fact that all the officers of this
prison seem to be as pleased as myself
at the Governors decision. l should
esteem 1t a favor if you could find room
in your next issue of the WEEKLY FREE
Pass" to thank those citizens of Man
kato who through their hearty support
have been instrumental in effecting this
result, as it would be impossible for me
to write each one individually, and
should like them to know that | ap-
preciate their kindness.
Once more thanking you for your
kind support and wishing you the COM
pliments of the season,
/ am yours very faithfully,
HENRY ALEXANDER.

SIGNS OF DECAY.

The Washburn organs at the twin cit
les have in their agitation over the sug-
gested candidacy of Judge Rea gwen I'M
mistakable proof that their boosted
claims of strength are simply based on
wind. Were that not the case why
should they show so much concern over
alleged Grades" of Senator Sabin? If
the latter has such asmall following, and
If Washburn has the walk-away they all
claim, surely it can matter little what
movements Mr.. Sabin makes in the
death throes of his andidacy-which
they all say are SO apparent. In their
treatment of Judge Rea in this matter
they have not only unmasked their
wind-backed battery, but disgraced
themselves by brutal insults of II gentle
man who stands much higher in the re-
gard of the people of the State, and has
many more qualities of craftsmanship
than the man they have foisted upon
the public, and insolently insist is the
only one entitled or qualified for the po-
sition of United States senator. Judge
Rea's candidacy, if it may so be styled,
is doubtless the work of some of his
many warm friends who have become
convinced, wrongly we admit, that a
dark horse will be available in the sena-
torial race, and properly conclude that
the gallant ex-commander-in-ch would
In such case be strong candidate.
Surely no one but the would-be Wash
burn bosses could deny the right OF
Judge Rea to enter the race, and none
but they would deem his entrance suffi-
cient reasons for perpetrating the insults
upon him with which the editorial and
local columns of the twin city Washburn
orgrns have teemed the past few days.
And there is no other explanation for
their course but that first suggested, that
they see their forces fast melting away,
and are fearful that SO strong a man as
Rea introduced in the race would carry
away what little strength they have left.
The talk about Mr.. Sabin making trade
with Rea is absurd on its face, for even
those who charge it do not hint at what
advantages it could bring the former.
Mr.. Sabrn will be reelected, because he
has already the votes to bring about that
result. This is plainly shown by the
calmness with which his friends receive
the news of the candidacy of Judge Rea
or any other dark horse, while the agi-
tation these events cause in the enemy s
camp prove Enthusiastically that they
have no genuine confidence in their
ability to win.

The Usual Result.

1t is not to be denied that good sew
ing machine is one of the most import
tant appurtenances Ofthe modern house
hold.
We thought we had good machine
until one day the agent of the New
HOME presented himselfat our door and
proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon
its characteristic merits.
"But," we answered, "Our machine
suits us well and we do not care for an
other"
The agent, however, begged the privi-
lege of leaving one of his machines with
us, "for the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable, so
We granted it-but more to oblIge the
agent than anything else; for we really
did not want the machine, and had not
the remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it vas
natural that the ladies should look it ov-
err; they did so, and as consequence
fell in love with it. They say that with
out the slightest wish to decry or dispar-
age any other machine, this, all things
considered, is, in their opinion, the
most desirable one to be had

tured by the NEW HOME SEWING

SOME misinformed people are disposed

SOME misinformed people are disposed
to grumble at and critlcise the enormous
expense of the Inauguration and its at
tendant ceremonies, including the bail,
and it is therefore proper to say that
not one cent of this money is paid by
the government. 1t is paid by the peo-
pie that attend the ball, tickets to which
cost S. each. In order to facilitate mat
ters in making the arrangements it has
always been customary to ask for private
contributions TO what is known as the
guarantee fund. This time the contri-
buttons already made to this fund
amount to more than $4,000. These
contributions were at the last Inaugural
ton all returned to the donors and the
committee still had on hand a surplus
which was donated to charity. Before
criticising the expenses of the Inaugural
ton, fault finders should remember
that in this case the old Scotch adage 'he
that dances must pay the piper" is
strictly adhered to.

Mr.. CLEVELAND, in his letter of regret
to the tariff reform league of Boston, got
after the faint hearted free traders of
his party in congress with a sharp stick.
The effect of this letter is already OBJ
servable among the Democratic men,
bers of the House. Just before the re-
cess, many of them were talking serious
ly of passing bill repeating the tobacco
tax and the United States license fer re-
tail liquor dealers. Now these same
men are saying that any reduction made
in the revenue of the Government, must
come from import duties, and that I'M
der no circumstances will they vote for
any measure reducing the internal reve-
nue. taxes. They also say that deter
mined fight is to be made on the Repub-
lican tariff bill when it reaches the
House. All of which shows that al
though Cleveland was defeated for the
Presidency, he still has the power to
force his views upon the members of
his party against their own convictions
Well, 1t will be all right any way, and of
course nobody expected the Democratic
House to pass any sensible tariff meas
ure. It will remain for the Republican
House to pass a tariff bill which will re-
lieve the treasury of the surplus, and at
the same time be just and equitable to
the business interests of the country.

THE attention of our readers is called
to the very able exposition Of the sena-
torial question, from the standpoint of
one of our most practical and intelligent
farmer friends which We commend to
the careful perusal of all our readers.
The writer might well have added in
contrast to the candidacy of Mr.. Wash
burn little history of the legislation &C
complished under Senator Sabin's care
full attention in the interests of his con-
stituents.
He might have mentioned the oleo-
margarine bill in which Senator Sabin
took most lively interest, and was one
of the most faithful attendants of the
agricultural committee, to which corr
mittee the bill was referred after long
and bitter contest on the floor of the
senate, the opponents of the bill con-
tending and insisting that the bill should
be referred toithe finance, committee
where they hoped to be able to strangle
it. All our farmers are doubtless aware
of the exhaustive investigations the agri-
cultural committee went into, and can
doubtless appreciate the boon which the
fruit of its efforts has brought the dali
ry interests of not only our state but the
whole country.
The writer might also have called at
tention of our soldier friends to the
more than eight hundred pensions, and
increased pensions which Senator Sabin
has been instrumental in securing to the
old soldiers, their widows and orphans.
In fact it is a well understood fact in the
department at Washington that Senator
Sawyer of Wisconsin and Senator Sabin,
have practically run pension bureau
of their own, and it is within the bounds
ofverifcation that Senator Sabin's effort
in this line have saved to the old soldiers.
their widows and orphans from 10000
to $4,000 in attorneys fees, which
would have been legitimate charges I'M
der the regular schedules, and then
probably they would not have accom-
plished one-half as much good as has
been realized through Senator Sabin's
efforts. He might, also, have we'll quot
ed Senator Sabin's sentiments on the in
ter-state commerce bill; railroad wat
ered-stock apitalization-and also note
the fact that the great improvement of
the Sault st. Marie locks, so ably argued
by our correspondent, has been put in
position for an early completion by the
enormous appropriation of 81, 100000
made last session of congress through
the direct efforts of Senator SabIn, aided
by Senator Palmer of Michigan. Now
these matters are on record and honest
ly and faithfully, by hard work and en-
ergy, accomplished in the interests of
Senator Sabin's constituents long before
the present senatorial contest was COM
menced. 1t is not possible at this time
that the representatives-elect from Blue
Earth County are blind to many OF the
very excellent points set forth in the
able presentation Of facts made bv our
well informed correspondent, but to say
the least they will demand the most
careful consideration of all concerned in
who shall succeed as our United States
senator, the selection of whom is of vital
importance to us all.
