THE OPENING GIN

The opening gun of the Democratic
state campaign, fired at Minneapolis last
night. VIII continue to reverberate until
its echoes awaken the slumbering
masses to the danger of Republican
domination. 1t was splendid send-off
for the Democratic cause, and the en-
thusiasm which was aroused by the
speeches will spread until every valley
and hilltop in the state will be ablaze
with the camp fires of Democracy before
the campaign is ended.
1t is to be an aggressive fight OIL the
part of the Democracy from now until
election day. Judge WILSON, the Dem
ocratic standard-bearer, starts out on
his canvass of the state to-day, and he
proposes to make it interesting for his
Republican competitor. Judge WILL
SONS ability to conduct an aggressive
campaign is too well known to imagine
that he intends to make plaything of
this canvass. Gov. MERRIAM is afraid
to meet him Oh the stump, and the Re-
publican committeeman are busy map
ping out plans to Side-track their artil-
lery when the WILSON train comes
along.
Judge WILSON represents cause that
appeals to the hearts and consciences of
the people. He is the advocate of re-
forms that the suffering masses feel in
need of. The Republican spokesman
cannot controyert his arguments nor
deny the soundness of his platform.
Therefore they hesitate to meet him in
combat, preferring to rely Oh the power
of Doodle and the machine rather than
to engage in an open discussion of the
issues that are uppermost in the public
mind.
The knowledge of this fact will doubt
less make the voters more eager to hear
Judge WILSON. The masses admire a
man who has the courage of his convic-
tons, and who is not afraid to give a
reason for the faith that is in him.
Judge WILSON'S reputation as clear
thinker and cool-headed man, who
takes dispassionate view of all public
questions, will be an additional induce
ment to the voters to turn out and hear
him. When he speaks he says some
thing worth listening to.
While Judge WILSON will perform his
part of the work in most brilliant man
ner, the Democracy of the state must re-
member that he is not expected to bear
all the burthen of the campaign. He
must have local cooperation in every
section. He will visit all the counties
of the state during the campaign, and
the local Democratic managers should
be active in making his meetings sue
cessful. If the local managers do their
part as well as Judge WILSON will per-
form his, this will be the most brilliant
campaign, and with the best results, in
the history of Minnesota Democracy.
Let every mans shoulder be placed to
the wheel. There is work for all, and
the cause should be the stimuiant to
work.

DIRTY CAMPAIGNING

To purpoSely conceal the truth is
worse than to tell downright lie.
1t is worse because 1T is meaner.
An Illustration of this mean practice
Of lying by concealment is furnished by
The Republican state committee, which
IS flooding the country with circulars
quoting Judge WILSON as saying in his
speech of acceptance, 81 am not here to
say word against railroads or corpora
IONS"
The quotation stops there. with the
intention of leaving the impression upon
the reader that this was ali that Judge
WILSON did say. when, as a matter of
fact. the concluding part of the SEN
tence is essential to an interpretation of
the words that have been quoted.
Here is what Judge WILSON did say:
II am not here to say word against
railroads OF corporate OILS. Now that
may seem strange in nominating con-
yention; but l look upon corporations
whose powers are not exercised to the
detrlment of the people as necessary
part OF our modern civilization. With
out them our railroads and other great
improvements would not be possible.
He is not a public enemy, bu: public
oenefactor, who builds railroad and
honestly operates it in such a manner
as to give him reasonable and Just re-
turn for the money invested, and so as
to advance the Interests and prosperity
Of the state. These corporations. and
all corporations created by the state.
should, therefore. be treated with abso-
lutte justice. But | have long believed
that we have too frequently and for
unnecessary purposes created corpora
tons, and that we have entirely failed
tn impose proper limitations on their
powers and functions. And, inasmuch
as by their great wealth and power the
private citizen could not single-handed
cope with them. it would be disgrace
to us and to our age to fail to surround
them with such checks and to subject
them to such penalties for misfeasance
Or malfeasance as would certainly bring
them into subordinatiou to the public
and make it impossible for them with
impunity to trespass ON the rights of
the most obscure citizen. While we
concede justice to them, we should de-
mand from them absolute Justice and
far dealing with every one. They are
the great civilizing agency, and, worked
as l have said, they are benefactors and
not maelfactors, aud it Is mere demagog-
ism to denounce them."
Judge WILSON stands by his guns, He
SAID what he meant, and meant what he
said. If there is anything in his utter
ances that his enemies can turn to ac-
count they are welcome to it, provided
they go at it fairly.
But the way the Republican commit
tee have garbled Judge WILSON'S
speech is SO manifestly uncandid. and
SO Intentionally a dishonorable falsity.
we are sure tue honest voters of this
state will rebuke such dirty campaign
methods by supporting the Democratic
ticket.
Ii the voters were all fools or knayes.
this Republican device might succeed.
But as long as they are honest and i'll
telligent it will prove boomerang.

TO BREAK F'RANKLIN's WILL.
His Heirs Bring Suit to Recover a
Trust Fund.

Trust Fund.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.-In the Or
phans' court to-day petition was filed
by the heirs of Benjamin Franklin pray
ing that the sum of 100000 now held
by the board of city trusts, and known
as the Franklin fund.-" be turned over
to them, the ground for the claim being
that the provisions of Franklin's will
are in violation of the law, and, there
fore. void. Under his will, probated in
1890, Benjamin Franklin bequeathed in
trust to the cities of Philadelphia and
Boston each the sum of $1,000, to De in
vested in the form of loans at 5 per
cent interest to married young
artificers' not over the age of twenty
five, to assist them in establishing
themselves in business. Franklin had
III view the accumulation of large
fund Tor the purpose specified ia his
Will at the expiration of 100 years, the
remainder to be reinvested for another
100 years, the same provisions applying
to Boston and Philadelphia. The first
period of 100 years having elapsed the
City of Boston has swelled the nucleus
of the bequest to about 100000, but the
Philadelphia fund has reached only
about 100000. The object of the suit is
to compel the distribution of this fund to
the heirs of Franklin, descended through
his onlydaughter, Sarah Franklin Bache.
1t is estimated that there are over
fifty of the Baches in the city and vicir-
lty. The contest is based on several
grounds. among them what is known as
the rule of perpetuities in common law.
The law does not provide for the vest
ing of a legacy beyond the period of
twenty-one years after the lifetime of
the legatee, except funds devoted to
charity. 1t is distinctly claimed that
Franklin's plan did not contemplate
charity, from the fact that inter-
est was charged on the loans. The
suit is to be decided in this city before
steps are taken to secure the fund in
Boston. but notice has been served upon
the trustees of the Boston fund to pre-
vent any disbursement of it pending

What He Says OF Politics Through

panied by ID. 3. johnson and NJ.

to meet him. A committee from
the jefferson club met Mr.. Mills at the
depot and escorted him to the West
hotel, where he spent the first part of the
day. resting from his long ride. In the
afternoon. in company with several of
the leading Democrats, he took drive
over the city, and ran to fire out in
the Eighth ward. At o'clock the re-
ception at the West began, and for over
an hour stream of enthusiastic Dem
ocratS poured through the corrid ors on
the third floor of the West
to the rooms occupied by tho
distinguished Texan. Nor were Repub-
licans absent from the throng of Wis.
callers being of that political faith.

Mills had recovered from his fatigue,
and was both cheerful and talkative.
The grasp of his hand was as firm az
that OF man in the prime of life. He
had but little time for talking to re-
porters. because of the press of visitors.
what he did say, though, was encour-
aging to Democrats.

The position taken by the Wisconsin
Democrats on the Bennett law seems to

"How do you find the sentiment re-

But great load has been laid upon
the Republican candidates by the high

they have unworthily participated and

The Democratic nominees are men of
such character as to command the indi-
