THE Princeton UNION undertakes to
throw a cloud over the above by sneer-
ingly referring to it as paid produce
ton by the biographer of the Globe.
How is it that no one escapes Dunn's
scandalous attacks?-Sauk Rapids Sen
tnel.
Youo old lickspittle reprobate, can
you prove that ''Dunn's scandalous
attacks" are untrue? When you
produce an affidavit from Hon. j.
l.. Harwick that his ''puf'' in the
Globe was gratuitous the UNION
will make an ample and abject
apology. French, of the Month
cello Times, has an unlimited sup
ply of gall-all dead-beats have
but gall is preferable to Benedict's
soft-soap. We have little respect
for a cheeky dead-beat, but none
whatever for a fawning hypocrite
who would mortgage his soul to
the devil for a picayune considera-
ton.

THE LEM LAW.
1t Was a Crude Measure and the
Governor is not to Blame
for VetOing 1T.

IOI VeCOlHS IL.
The vigorous criticism of our
mechanics law which Judge
CAVITY, Of Minneapolis, gave the
readers of the Globe yesterday
morning, is true IN it's every word.
This paper, long before the last
Legislative session began, called at
tention to this Ubiquitous statute,
and during the session again and
again it urged our representatives
to stop wasting their, time over
trifes and to do something which
would remedy this serious evil.
1t was like talking to the wind,
however, to address words of
counsel to body so enamored of
regenerating society from the bot
tom that it had no stomach for de-
tails. The theft of honest mems
labor and goods which is possible
under the lien law of 1889 is as un-
restrained as Sicilian brigandage.
No man with a claim less than
$500 can afford to enforce it
against a building in this State,
and if he attempts it he will find
before he gets to the end that it
would have been money in his
pocket to have charged his account
up to profit and loss. There is no
use in discussing at this day
whether or not the Gallager bill
was calculated to better things.
It is dead at the hands of Mr..
Merriman. But how ninety days
were allowed to 60 by, by men
especially selected to do something
for the poor and oppressed, with
out this subject receiving serious
consideration, would be a mystery

A Lumberman Agricnlturist.

Hon. D. M. Clough, of the lumber
firm OF Clough Brothers, Minneapolis,
has been elected president of the State
Agricultural Society of Minnesota and
will add the duty of managing the great
annual fair of the association
to his other public and private
labors. Mr.. Clough has given great
deal of time, and unsparingly of
his energies, to public duties during
the past years. Mr.. Clough was born
in Lyme, New Hampshire, in 1916, and
came to Minnesota when he was only
ten years of age and worked on his
fathers farm in Spencer Brook. To-
gether with his brothers he went into
the woods each winter and the BROTH
ers soon became among the most sue
cessful and largest loggers on the
river. They acquired some pine lands
and in 1878 moved to Minneapolis and
erected saw mill on the east side of
the river and began the manufacture
OF lumber. The firm have been act
lively engaged in the lumber business
in Minneapolis ever since, the subject
of this sketch continuing the business
under the old firm name upon the death
OF his brother, Gilbert Clough, year
or more ago. Mr.. Clough's first public
office was that of alderman. He con-
tinued in the common council of Min
neapolis for a period of four years and
during one year was president of that
body. He served in the State senate
from 1886 to 1890 and has been a mem
Der OF the Republican State Central
Committee for a number of years.. He
is extensively interested in stock rails
ing. The old homestead in Spencer
Brook town, Isanti county, has been
converted into a stock farm and it's
stables filled with cattle of high de-
gree. Mr.. Clough is a lover of fine
horses, and his selection to the position
OF president of the State Agricultural
Society is a recognition not only of his
interest in agriculture and stock rails
ing but of his executive ability. He
accepted the position, however, reluct-
anti -Ni4e7aeapoIs Lat7nbermaa7e.

to any one who did not under
stand the incompetency Of legis-
lators. In the hurry Of the last
day, the senate, which had no end
of time to debate the McHale bill
and the Hompe newspaper bill,
and other trivial measures of this
sort, took up this, one Of the chief
est OF matters which could have
engaged it's attention. There was
gross acknowledgement somewhere,
and it is no ones fault except the
legislatures that their enactment
went to the governor in such a
shape that he considered it his
duty to veto it.-St. Paul Globe.

ST.. PAUL Globe: That governor
out in Oregon needs pounded ice
we'll worked into his head. He
may be a Democrat, but his talk
about the president bowling down
to him shows that he is a ninny,
and knows nothing about good
manners.

HERE is the unkindest cut of all
from the Democratic St. Paul
Gzo6e-the paper that said so
many sweet things about members
at $40 per laddle-full:
The legislature has been adjourned
over week, and from the absence of
general comment respecting its work
the splurge made by the farmer legis-
lature is quickly subsiding. The work
they accomplished was of so small
moment that in few weeks the mem
bers, outside of three or four, will have
been entirely forgotten. Mediocrity
soon runs it's limit. A large number of
the members of the late legislature,
well-meaning and fair-minded men,
were never fitted to enact laws.

Some of our farmer friends growlat
the low prices paid for potatoes by the
Princeton Starch Company. Why
didn't these GROWERS sell their potatoes
last fall when they could secure a good
price? Under date of April 2sth, S. H.
Hall & Co., of Minneapolis, write the
secretary of the Starch Factory Co.
We will not buy any more potatoes
at present, as the market is so dull and
we have so many on hand we prefer to
wait a few days. We have about 20
cars on the track that are worrying us
some, and we do not want to buy any
more on top of them.
In this connection we will state that,
the company lost money on the last car
load of potatoes shipped. Furthermore,
if there is any farmer who wishes to
purchase Starch Factory stock at rs
cents on the dollar he can be accommo-
dated by calling at this office. We
control 81 900 of stock that will be dis
posed of at a loss Of Is per cent, to say
nothing Of the interest on the money
invested.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
Father Briody Trusted a New York Police
man With His Money and the Blue
- coat is Missing.

Father Briody Trusted a New York Police
man With His Money and the Blue
- coat is Missing.
New YORK, April 2S.-Rev. Father
Thomas Briody, of Minneapolis, MIMI,
arrived in this city last night on his
way to Europe, having in his possession
q check for $4,000, on the Irish Nation
al bank, of Minneapolis, and $500 in
cash. Fearing that he might be robbed,
he stepped up to a policeman on the
corner of Sixth avenue and Seventh
street, and gave him the check and
money for safe keeping. This morning
the priest went to look for the bluecoat
and found him not. He sent tele-
gram stopping payment of the check,
and then was taken to St. Vincent's
hospital.
The above associated press dispatch
in the st. Paul and Minneap-
oils dailies of the 29th inst. Rev. Thos
Briody was stationed here for several
years. Late last fall he left Princeton
with the intention of settling some
where on the Pacific slope. He was a
jolly old Irish priest and was highly
by members of his own flock
and the people of Princeton generally.
While here he was regarded as a poor
man, and no one imagined that he had
any money. How he came to have
$4,000 in his possession is what sur
prises his friends. The old man must
have been bereft of his senses or he
never would have trusted a New York
policeman with his money.

The exercises attending the Christmas tree at

was large, and loaded and decorated with many
valuable and attractive presents, while many
more were piled on the surrounding platform.
The tree was adorned with an unusual number
OF large and beautiful dolls, and the motherly
hearts of a corresponding number of little girls
were made happy during the evening. The
boys were not forgotten in the distribution, and
were made equally happy by gifts rs valuable,
