The test by which the average Mugwump
tries candidates is the free trade test. If
the candidate is for free trade it makes lit
tie difference what else he may be for or
against. Belief In tariff for revenue only
covers multitude Of shortcomings In 9TH
or directions, and In only very rare in
stances can the lack of 1t be made up.
Every Mugwump paper in the land is now
supporting the Hon. Roger @. Mills for
the Speakership, and the reason is that Mr..
Mills more than any other of the candidates
stands for what they call tariff reform, a
mere euphemism for the tearing down of the
protective tariff, and the setting up in its
place of tariff for revenue only. These
hugwump papers profess to abhor free
silver yet they know that Mills has always
advocated free silver and that he voted for
tin the last House. Moreover they have
reason to suspect that he has virtually
promised to make Mr.. Bland of Missouri
the biggest silver lunatic In the House,
chairman of the committee on coinage.
But these things make no difference Mills
is for free trade pure and simple. and that
is enough to redeem all his faults in the
eyes Of the Mugwumps.

THOUSAND DOLLAR LICENSE.

There is a growing sentiment among
the people of Mankato that the saloon
license should be increased to thous-
nd dollars. 1t was believed that
Men the legislature raised the Ii
cense to $500 for cities under 10000 in
habitants and 81, 900 for cities of that
size and upwards, Mankato's census
would give us the higher fee. But in
this we were disappointed. Either
the requisite number of people did
not live here or else, as was the case.
in many places, the censes was i'm
perfectly taken. But in any event
there is now no question but MankatO
has reached the tenthousand point, and
while the state law cannot affect the
license question until another census
is taken, the council has the power to
raise the amount to any point it may
see fit. 1t is apparent that three or
four new applications for licenses will
be asked for this year. Under the
five hundred dollar fee we had thirty
two saloons and this year the number
will be increased to thirty-five.
A prominent German who has here
tofore been radically opposed to any
thing above five hundred dollar IL
cense approached the writer on this,
question Saturday and said that he.
was now heartily in favor of thous-
and dollar fee. He has become con-
WINGED that the higher license weeds
out the holes that can possibly exist
on the present fee, while if larger
amount was demanded they will go
out of business.
This is matter that cannot be too
soon nor too seriously considered by
the council. If the number of saloons
could be reduced one-half by increas-
ing the license the revenues of the
city would be the same and several
undesirable places closed up. The
FREE PRESS has no desire to "sqeeze"
any one, but it has always been an adj
tvocate of high license and firmly be-
lieves that one thousand dollars is
little enough for Mankato.

The State and the Fair.
MINNEAPOLIS Journal.l


The state commissioners for the
worlds fair, at their meeting Tues
day, came to the conclusion, which
was inevitable, that a popular sub
scription will be necessary to enable
the state to do any justice to her dig
nifty and achievements at Chicago. 1t
was blot upon the late legislature
that it had no idea beyond $500 1t
showed a lack of state pride, which
was deplorable. But that can't be
helped now.
What the people of this state must
do is to contribute enough money to
make Minnesota fairly presentable at
Chicago. We must have state build
ing, by all means Counties which
produce the best building stone, bricks
and timber, will, of course, furnish
the material for such structure free
and the best of it. The railway COM
panies ought to furnish Transports
tion of such material free. And there
ought to be cash contributions from
the people to the extent of $4,000 to
100000 al least. Let the whole state
take an immediate and practical in
terest in this matter. There is no
time to be lost or wasted. Every COM
munity should decide at once upon
organized cooperation with the state
commission.

long been an admirer of the little
lecturer of the State Alliance, because
of her pluck in defying the Sage Of
Nininger. AS he tipped his hat in
acknowledgement or formal intro

marked: ST am truly highly honored
at receiving formal introduction to
you, Miss Mcdonald, for I have the
greatest regard and admiration for a
lady who will show her independence
and demand her rights as. you have
done in dealing with Mr.. Donnelly."
Eva smoled smile of pleasure at re-
ceiving such a flattering compliment
from so prominent a gentleman, and
in her usually sweet way replied: 80,
thank you; / have made many friends
by my frequent hard hits at Mr.. DON
nelly" And she has. She is worse

SENATOR FRANK A. DAY, of Fair

SENATOR FRANK A. DAY, of Fair
mont, is getting considerable notori-
ETY. through the country press just at
present, for the credit of an interview
had in st. Paul last week, wherein he is
quoted as declaring that Congressman
Lind will retire from politics at the
conclusion of his present term. The
Senator, among other things, is
charged with saying that ''there will
be no use in trying to run him (Lind)
for Governor, for l am positive that
he will not accept the nomination
from what he told me-" The FREE
PRESS does not believe that Mr.. Lind
will ask further honors from his party,
but that he would decline nomina-
tion for Governor if such were ten
dered him, we dc not believe, neither
are we prepared to accept the state
ment that he has given any one any
intimation of this kind which would
warrant the assurance given out by
Mr.. Day. In the first place, Mr.. Lind
would not be justified in presuming
to decline something which had not
been rendered to him, and in the
second place he could hardly refuse
to serve his party if called upon. 1t
may be safely assumed, therefore,
that either Mr.. Day has been mis-
quoted or he has permitted himself te
draw conclusions not well founded in
fact.
