REWARDING THE "KICKERS."

Hon. Joel p Heatwole, of the
Mortified Nescs, and Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
does not believe it hardly fair that
Gov. Merriam should be the target
for so much adverse criticism over his
letter of recommendation of P. II.
Rahilly for federal position, and
permit those responsible for the selec-
lection to high places of party kickers
and mugwumps to escape without a
word Of censure. Bro. Heatwole is
more than half right. While the FREE
PRESS by no means endorses the
action of the Governor in rec
ommending for Office man whose
whole life has been devoted to
the disruption and overthrow of
the Republican party, it finds in his
action nothing more deserving Of con-
demnation than that occasioned by
some others in high places for the n.y.
brid nincompoops they have installed
into positions of which they are unde-
serving. Mr.. Heatwole says:
The Neaos long ago spoke about the
tendency to recognize weakened,
treacherous and mugwumpish Repub-
licanism, and entered an earnest pro-
test aginst it. In great many cases,
however, when man gets in office
and gets in a position to dictate ap-
pointments. he does not care nearly
SO much for the success of the party
as he does for his personal success in
the next election. Unless an emf
nently fair MAINLAND such men are
not more numerous in political cir
cleS than in any Other-he is very apt
to use his political power to subserve
his personal ends, and thus endeayor
to secure for himself a continuance in
Office. The laws of common graft
tude should prompt men to take care
eff the unSelfiSh party worker if there
is anything that can be done for him.
The Republican party would be a
great deal better off if the kickers
and trimmers and traitors-camp-fol
lowers, if you please-left the party
and went over to the enemy. The re-
mainder, if not in the majority, would
at least present a solid front. and
work compactly for the best interests
Of the principles they espouse. There
has been entirely too much of this ca
tering to the kicking crowd, and as a
consequence the loyal element have
felt as though they were ignored and
not needed. The recognition of men
who have not always been true TO
their party nominees, has not helped
the Republican party.

FIGHT TO A FINISH.

The announcement that all the the
alters in Minneapolis would be opened
to the public on Sunday has caused
commotion among the church PEOPLE
and they propose to fight TO a finish
the open violation of the Sunday law.
ming ''side door, Sunday business,
and an effort will also be made to put
stop to that as well.
Minneapolis has Democratic may
or, backed up by Democratic
council. When the mayor took his
seat he gave orders to the gamblers
that they must Immediately vacate.
1t was expected that all sorts of dis
reputable and unlawful aYocations
would be stopped, so far as such could
be done in a city of this size. The
large majority accorded Mr.. Winston
must have impressed him with the be-
lief that the people-had confidence
that he would give them relief from
many ills they had previously suffer-
ed. In the outset he gave evidence
that their confidence had not been
misplaced. But now comes time
when his sincerity is to be practically
tested. That saloons should be closed
on Sunday is too clearly fact to adj
nit of discussion. That theater open
ing on Sunday is contrary to good
government cannot be denied. While
some may say that there is nothing
bad in attending good theater Sun
day evening, they cannot deny that
the indulgence of such exhibitions
leads young minds to disfespect the
Sabbath and become entirely careless
to the proper observance of this day Of
rest. There is no demand for Sunday
theaters any more than there is for
Sunday saloons and both are damag-
ing to the morals of any community
1t is to be, hoped that the good peo-
pie who have taken up this fight
against misunderstanding may come
out victorious. They will certainly
have the moral support of the people
of the State without regard to sex or
politics.

WHAT'S IN THE WIND T?

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
Pioneer Press, May There is trou-
BILE over the Mankato building site of
some sort.
Special Agent Cluss, who went to
Mankato to investigate the various
building sites offered. has returned.
but has not yet made a report, and it
is intimated he will not make any re-
Communications whatever. He saws
he wants first to have a conversation
with Assistant Secretary Nettleton.
as it was Gen. Nettleton that commits
stoned him to go to Mankato.
Just what the trouble is cannot be
learned, and it may not be found cut
even after CluSs has his conversation
with Gen. Nettleton. There is always
more or less trouble over the location
OF building sites, and during the past
few years there has developed some
d1sagreeable scandals. 1t may be that
some of the anXiou property owners
have attempted to use undue infiu-
ence with the trusted employee of the
government, and he thinks the mat
ter had better be laid before Secreta-
ry NettletOn before any further action
is taken.
1t is certain that something is
wrong, for the special agent insists
that he will report to no other person
or give any information except to the
man who sent him to make selection
of site.
The above telegram is evidently
sent out for the purpose of influencing
Inspector Cluss in his recommended
ton under the threat of a charge of
having sold out to certain interests
unless he shall recommend some par
ticular site. Or it is not improbable
that an effort is being made to deter
him from making any recommends
ton in the hope that Gen. Nettleton
can be reached by certain interested
parties with more certainty of secur-
ing his influence. Or, it may be that
delay is being sought in order to Sc
cure Senator Washburne's assistance
in favor of certain loca zion, as SEINE
gentlemen believe they can use him
to an advantage THE FREE PRESS,
in common with the mass of Mankato
people, have every confidence in the
honesty and integrity of Mr.. Cluss,
and whatever site he may recommend
it will be done with motives entirely
pure and with clear conscience. We
believe him above undue influence"
and shall so believe until he is proven
or proves himself to the contrary. He
has been here, looked the grounds
over carefully and knows where the
building should be put. He has been
in the service of the government en-
tirely too long to be frightened from
the strict performance of his duties
by any jumping jack" in Washing
ton who inspired the special telegram
in to-day's Pioneer Press.

THE Winona Republican, in very
ugly mood, declares that people who
oppose the federal election law, "argue
that crime is essential to progress and
that material welfare is only to be
had by destroying the aspirations of
the lowly and lodging all power and
all opportunity in the hands of a
small aristocracy." Such characteri-
zation is the utterance of hopeless
fanaticism. The federal election law
is as dead as Julius Caesar. President
Harrison has driven several nails in
its coffin by his Southern states
speeches.. Mr.. Harrison cannot re-
viye that measure. Gen. ClarkSon
can't do it. The country doesn't want
it and the country doesn't believe, by
any means, that acrime is essential to
progress" as the Republican charges.
A beautiful accusation to make upon
its own party, which has distinctly
condemned the so-called force bill!
The above, as might be supposed is
from the Minneapolis Journal. As a
rule the Journal is all right, and its
value as a newspaper is everywhere
admitted. But when anything comes
up touching the elections bill, which
was defeated by Minneapolis Sena-
tor, w. d. Washburne, the Journal
gets red-headed. The assertion that
the Republican party has condemned
the so-called force bill," is radically
incorrect, for it cannot be truthfully
said that Senator Washburne is the
Republican party and it was he who
condemned and defeated the passage
of the measure in Congress. If there
is any condemnatory proceedings con-
nected with this affair it is with the
action of Mr.. Washburne for his de-
feat of the measure. The position Ia
ken by the Winona Republican, comes
very close to being correct.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1891-05-08

THE recent brush with the Italian
authorities has opened the eyes of
every loyal American to one fact, to-
wit; that the need for more stringent
regulations of foreign immigration.
If we have to put up with the out
lawry of European countries, and then
be cussed for not showing them as
much respect as decent people COM
mand, it were better to bill them all
back home as soon as they land on our
shores. Stringent immigrant laws is
the next great necessity.
