the question arises, how many OF the
university students are residents of
Minneapolis? There are some hun

OUTSIDE OF Minneapolis; whose parents
reside elsewhere. whose homes are
really elsewhere, but who are in Min
neapOlis temporarily. If no questions
are asked. these young men will be al

City long enough to do that If they pos

Bernheimer, Sons IL Co. has been the
largest importing firm in the country in
the line of wOrsted goods and tailors'
trimmings. 1t is an American firm. 1t
does an extensive business. Yet the
Mckinley bill has caused that firm to
issue to the trade circular
announcing its retirement. Here
is solid business institution
driven out of the field. But that is not
all. Imported WOODEN goods that enter
into the composition of mems clothing
are known TO be far superior to the

goods has been increased to such fig

has advanced % per cent straight. What
effect has that had upon American
wOolens and worsteds, cloth of inferior
grade? Have the American mandfact-
ulers been content to receive the same
price as before, a price upon which
they have grown wealthy? Not at all.
They have advanced prices from 10 to
20 per cent on the cheaper goods. not
because they have to in order to make
money, but because they have been

not often finds it convenient to commend
Democrats in political way, no matter what

men good enough for Office within mis- own
lines, he is not affected with the idea that
his party is the embodiment or goodness 10
the exclusion of everything else Often
times he will run across a candidate for
office and regret that he is a Democrat, be-
cause he may be jam-up good fellow,
gentleman. and III every way firstclass
man for the position named Yet you do
not want to further the interests of the DEM
ocrats. and therefore you must oppose
your friend. Take Robert l.. Penney,
for instance, who is cand date for the leg
lslature on the Democratic ticket. What
Republican would vote against Mr.. Penney
were he a Republican, What Republican
would not be glad 10 see him elected II
Democrat is to be elected? He is u thorough
gentleman in all his intercourse with men,
bright and active, and in intellectual ability
he would stand away up in any Legislature
But he is affiliated with the Democrats D olit-

We can say this however that if the Repub-

do, and elect Democrat 10 the legislature,
for heavens sake elect Penney. You will
then have q man that knows something and

vote for United States senator. Brain is
worth more for actual business sometimes
than the mere accident of birth.
