over onto Broadway during these warm
spring days, and wade through the lake
of water that covers that street and
makes it almost impossible to walk
about. It would just give them an idea
OF what we people are compelled to en-
Ijoy.
Peter Scherer: It seems strange to me
that any party should be allowed to
leave sidewalk in the shape that GER
tain ono IS on Minnesota Street, the
most travelled in the city, and where it
is a wonder that no accidents have al
ready occurred. I refer to the condition
of the sidewalk between the Sommer
and Union Blocks.
c. q. Hornburg: The New Ulm
Building & Loan Association pays as
well as any 7 know Of; in fact I don't
see how any can pay better It is not
weighed down with heavy expenses,
and the interest obtained on loans is
unusually large. Besides the association
here does not run the risks in making
loans that those do that cover large
| field.
A. Blanchard: What the government
| ought to do now is to arrest those Ital-
ians throughout the large cities who
are making incendiary speeches. Some
complain that it would do no good, and
| that there are no laws for their punish
ment, but l claim that there are, and
that the government has right to pro-
tect its people Those fellows in New
Orleans, who were killed by enraged
citizens. belong to race of brigands.
| They are fit for nothing but to adorn
lamp posts.
A. W. Bingham: There should be
legal rate OF interest, of course, to Gov
er book accounts and cases of dispute,
but there should be none governing con-
tracts. In that respect, we should leave
il to supply and demand to regulate
the rate of interest Our state is
certainly in need of foreign eapi-
ltal; the farmers need it; the busi-
ness men need it. But men will not
loan for seven per cent when they
can get ten, and for that reason believe
we should make the money market as
free as we can. For all legitimate busl-
ness purposes money can now be Sc
cured for seven per cent, and I do not
see the necessity of bill fixing the rate
at eight.
Thad G. Jones of St. Paul was in the
city during the week and in converse
tion said: a friend of mine, who is an
intimate friend OF the governor, called
on him recently and urged the appoint
men6 OF favorite to a vacant judgeship
by enlarging upon his political influence
and by extolling his qualifications. The
governor at once told him to go no
further; that he had no political ambi-
ton and looked forward to no further
political favors; that he proposed to
give the state clean-cut administration
and do as well by the common wealth
as his ability permitted; that he already
had made his selection for the office
and would not allow politics to change
his determination. It is that stamina
and courage in Mr.. Merriam that makes
me think he will veto the usury bill,
senatorship or no senatorship.
/ CD. Roos: Yes, I think the mills
will be benefited by the reciprocity
treaty with Brazil. The New York
shipments to those countries will be in
creased largely and in that way we will
be benefited and the market improved
generally. Heretofore good deal of
the flour for the South American re-
publics has come from this country,
but it has always passed through the
hands Of European dealers, who were
the ones to reap the profits. A treaty
with Cuba, however, would be big
thing for us. The island has in the
neighborhood Of sc, coo, 600 inhabitants.
That means 10000, 600 barrels Of -four
annually. and if that amount can be
shipped into Cuba free Of duty IN ex-
change for sugar and other products Of
that island, American dealers will se-
cure advantages that will result in good
for the country at large.
/ Mr.. Rhomberg, the well-known
Minneapolis orator, will lecture at Tur-
ner Hall on the evening of April 5th.
The lecture will be under the auspices
of the Turnverein.
I The New Ulm Review has already
suggested the name Of Col Bobleter for
the next republican nomination for gov
Iernor. While the suggestion is some
what premature, it is snevertheless good.
