publican Rule.
The oft-repeated Democratic
declaration that the country would
be ruined by the supremacy of the
Republican party, stands in gro
tesque contrast with the facts and
figures which everywhere bear testi-
mony to an unparalleled development
and expansion of American indus
tries.
No one conversant with the prin-
ciples and policies of the two parties
can deny, with any hope of making
good his denial, that this rapid and
splendid growth of our industrial
resources is alone attributed to the
fostering and stimulating influences
emanating from Republican state
manship and legislation.
Under the protection policy of
the Republican party, which has
been denounced and derided by the
Democrats without interruption,
the great and distinctive interests
and industries of the nation have
increased with an acceleration I'M
precedented in the history of this or
any other country.

tured products Of the United States

a number Of years ago by man named
Hodges. who became bankrupt. Seven
months before applying to be discharged
as a bankrupt he conveyed the land to
Mrs. Comstock by warranty deed, which
named the consideration at 81. After
Hodges became bankrupt his assignee
sued Mrs. #Comstock for the land in the
court of common pleas at Minneapolis,
alleging that at the time Hodges trans
ferred the land he was insolvent that
there was no consideration passed for
the land, and, therefore, it was void as
to creditors. The court decided that
the deed was void, and ordered
the land sold to make assets
in the hands of the assignee
for the benefit of Hodges creditors.
The present owners acquired title
through purchasers at the aSSignee'S
sale. In the action now pending in the
federal court, Mrs. ComStock alleges
that the court of common pleas was not
a court under the constitution OF the
state of Minnesota, because, as it is
claimed, that at the time of the passage
of the act creating such court it failed
10 receive a twO-thirds vote OF both
branches of the legislature as required
by the state constitution. The defense
asserts that the court of common pleas
was court de factoGand that the con-
lstitutionaIity of the court cannot be at
tackled eOllateraily. Or, in other words.
the way to attack the validity of the
court would have been by writ of quo
warranto at the time it was in existence,
and that its validity cannot be ques-
toned in this proceeding.

Failing to Get 5000 in Cash He
Refused tOs Lecture.
The lecture announced for last even
ing at the Metropolitan opera house by
Sergins Stepniak, the Russian exile,
did not take place, and The small
audience which braved the wintry
SHOWS and winds to reach the tlleater
was dismissed after its money had been
returned at the box office. The reason
for the non-deliveTy Of the lecture was
that the manager OF Stepniak made a
demand for $500 in cold, hard cash, be-
fore the long-haired Russ would say
word. Stepniak was brought to st.
Paul under contract to gentleman in
Minneapolis, who rented tlie opera
house last evening from Manager l.. n.
Scott. The representative of the Min
naapolis gentleman eXpostulated with
Stepniak's manager, and assured him
that if the receipts were not large
enough to pay the Russian his price that
the indications were that the lecture to-
night in Minneapolis would make up
the difference. Manager Scott, rather
than have the audience dismissed,
made very liberal proposition
to reduce the rental, so
that the receipts for Stepniak would be
increased. But. like Shylock, the mana
ger of Stepnak 'stood for his bond, FOR,
rather, his 200 simoIeons, and despite the
eloquence of Manager Scott and the gen
tleman from Minneapolis he would not
bulge an inch. He was evidently acting
under orders from the gentleman whom
the Russian government is anxious to
get into its hands. and who was
quietly waiting at the Hotel Ryan for
his henchman to appear with certain
200 specimens of Americas silver cur
rency. The audience was notified Of
the state of affairs, and many we're the
expressions OF disgust at the unyielding
demands of the Russian and his man
aver. The lecture tonight in Mime
apolis Will not take place, and perhaps
under the circumstances. it would be
best for Stepniak to return to his native
land and beard the Russian bear at close
quarters, instead of assalling him by
word of mouth thousands of miles away,
and causing great annoyance to the
public of America by showing his love
for American dollars.

Brilliant Reception of Students
and Faculty OF Hamline Uni
yersity.
The class of 81 of HamIine univer-
sity gave the annual senior reception to
the faculty and students of the college
in university hall last evening. The
affair was a brilliant success and the
class acquitted itself admirably in the
arduous but pleasant task of entertain
ing two or three hundred people in such
manner that each one felt himself an
especially favored guest. The chapel
was transferred into an elegant draw
ing room, with rich draperies and lux
uriouS rugs. with touches. tete-e-teteS,
and easy chairs scattered here and
there. The rostrum was curtained
with Oriental draperies, and from be-
hind them, during the evening. the en-
trancing strains of music from the DanZ
orchestra issued. The music room
on the south side of the
chapel was decorated in an
artistic manner and afforded a pleasant
retreat for those who did not enjoy gen
eral conversation, and the long hallon
the second floor was softly carpeted for
the promenade. AS the class numbers
just eight, four ladies and four gentle
men, no reception committee was
chosen, but the guests were greeted by
them all. The class includes Misses
Ella L. Door, Blanche EameS. Effie l..
CIRCUIT and Lena Putnam, and Messrs.
c. l.. Dobner, G. W. Empey. E. E. Bean
and E. c. Campbell. The gowns worn
by the ladies of the class were very
beautiful. as were those of many of the
guests. Miss Grout wore an artistic
costume OF French grey,with La France
roses; Miss Eames, a becoming
gown Of some soft wool, cream
Putnam. an elaborate dress of pale old
rose faHle, and Miss Door dainty gown
of mode-colOred wool and velvet, with
pink roses. p. r. Showers and Miss
Jean, of the sophomore class, acted as
introduction committee. Refreshments
were served, with Dorsett as caterer. in
the dining room, Mrs. Stone presiding
at the central table, assisted by Misses
Edna BabeOck, Stella Sch0field, Wanda
Griffith and Messrs. Z. c. RosSman, }.

ton was great social success and gave
opportunity for faculty and students to
become better acquainted than in some
ways they can DO in the class ROOM and
the alumni, many of whom were pres
ent from the cities and out in the state,
renewed their VOWS TO Alma Mater and
wandered through the halls wishing
that they were again freshmen, or even
props. Many friends of the institution
from st. Paul and Minneapolis attended
the gathering and watched the student
as he drove dull care away, forgetting
to-morrow's trials in the delightful
evening which tue class of '91 had given

obtain the various ballots, only the re-
suits being given to the members Of the
| press at the close of the convention.

and after dinner it took nearly two
hours to secure the balance Of the Off
