McCLEARY THE MAN.

The canvass which has been going
on in this district for some time back
for the congressional nomination
closed this afternoon with the selec-
tion of Prof. J. T. McCleary, of this
city, for the position. When the
ability and standing of the gentle
men who contended with him for the
prize. is duly considered, the honor
that has been conferred upon Blue
Earth county can the more fully be
realized. The contest has been a
most friendly one from the first.
Messrs. Turrell and Davis conducted
a strong, honorable canvass for the
position, and won for themselves
many friends throughout the district,
but now that the people have decided
otherwise in the matter, they will
give to Mr.. McCleary that hearty sup
port they would have expected and
received had either of them been the
winner. Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Miller
While not so prominent in the race,
conducted their canvaSSeS in the same
honorable manner, and now that the
matter is settled pledge their hearty
support as true Republicans. AS we
nave said before the canvass was con-
Quoted upon gentlemanly lines. With
all Of the five gentlemen named, the
success OF the party was of greater
moment then their own personal
advancement, and the friendly con-
test has only the more strongly &C.
mented the party ranks.
While the FREE PRESS believes that
had the convention chosen either of
the other contestants it would have
been an honor worthily bestowed,
still all things considered we are of
the opinion that time will demon
strate that body's superior wisdom in
selecting Prof. McCleary, by the mag
nifcent victory he will win at the
polls and the able and faithful per-
Torrance of his duties in the position
for which he is named.

THE TARIFF AND CHEAP PRICES.

The Minneapolis Times of yesterday
morning went into Mysteries over the
tariff and cheap prices. The trouble
with the Times and other free trade
papers like it is, it cannot get rid OF
the insane notion that the tariff is a
tax which is added to the price OF
every article that is produced in this
country. 1t cannot or does not want
to see that such is not the case. 1t
has persisted all along, and we pre-.
sumo will continue to persist, that the
increasing of the duty upon tin costs
this country an extra S16,0O0,0O0 an
nually,a statement which most of the
school boys of the land know to be
false. If the Times editor would take
the trouble to make inquiries among
dealers in tinware before making his
statements in regard to the extra cost
to the people of the tariff on tin, he
would not make himself so ridiculous
when he talks on that subject.
A few days ago the Times published
a list of articles and the percentage
of the tariff upon them. So far as we
know that the percentage of duty is
all right, but the Times sought to give
the public false impression in the
matter by pretending that the prices
of the goods were increased to that
extent by the tariff. In other words
that if the tariff were removed the
goods could be purchased at from 40
to 100 per cent cheaper than at pre-
sent. Yet every person of any intelli-
gence knows thai nothing of the sort
could be done. The manner in which
this percentage business is worked is
well illustrated in the matter of cali
co. The duty upon it is 5 cents pei
yard. 1t retails in this country from
Al to &c per yard, yet we hear the free
traders telling that the tax ranges all
the way from 80 to ITO per cent. When
one takes into consideration the cost
of manufacturing calico in this coun-
try, if the assertions of the free
traders were true, that article would
retail at from to IL cents per yard.
Not understanding the working of
the tariff from protective standpoint
the Times cannot be expected to under
stand what makes prices cheap in this
country, and so it is liable to go off in
to Mysteries every little while over the
matter. In it's ignorance it assumes
that our great national resources are
the sole cause. The advocates of pro-
lection have never under-rated the
value of these resources as an impOr-
taht factor in the matter, but these
great resources would prove of
little value unless developed. and the
tariff in protecting our products from
those of the cheap labor of the old
world, has assisted in their develop
ment, and has called into play the in
ventive genius of man, to aid in the
great work. The free traders may
misrepresent the protective system to
their hearts content, but they can
never blind the intelligent mind to
the fact that the great force which has
caused the wheel of industry to turn
out our great prosperity and so adj
vance our civilization, thereby en-
abling US to take foremost position
among the nations of the earth, is
that of protective tariff.

COLUMBUS A SAINT.

It is whispered in Rome that there
is talk at the Vatican of canonizing
CHRISTOPHER Columbus and making
him St. Colon at about the same time
the Worlds Fair opens for business.
Columbus himself, no doubt, would
have smiled at the mere thought of
such thing, for, being a rough sailor
he spliced the main brace, had wife
at every port, cussed his tarry top
lights. and all that sort of thing. Still
considering what he did, he is entitled
to something, for he discovered Amer
lea, and this country is no small island.
He didn't discover the west or the
northwest, but he opened the way for
others. Had it not been for him there
AS it is, we have hustling common
wealth, traversed by the St: Paul &
Duluth Railroad, which is known as
the Duluth Short Line-a name given
it by an appreciative public. This
line runs fast trains over smooth
tracks on convenient schedules be-
tween St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
Saltwater and West Superior, max
ing close connections for all points.

The Work of Completing It VIII Be
Rapidly Pushed.
The Savannah and Isle OF Hope railway
will soon begin the construction of its line
from Thunderbolt to Isle Of Hope. This
road, it claims, will be the shortest and
most direct route to this resort when COM
plsted, and will be not only of great ad-
vantage to Savannah, but TO the property
owners along the line.
The town authorities of ThuDderbolt hold
that the charter of the town does not per-
NIT them to give the right Of way through
the town, and a bill will be introduced in
the legislature at its present session giving
the company additional power to condemn
land and confirm grants of right Of way
already made
Whether the company goes through
Thunderbolt or not makes comparatively
little difference as it owns lands and rights
along the route that will enable it to get to
Isle Of Hope by the shortest and quickest
way.
1t is probable that the road will be ex-
tended to Wilmington Island and Skidaway
in the near future. Should this be done
some ferrying would have to be done be-
tween the islands, and the company will
put into service well equipped ferryboat
that will meet all trains, aud the transfer
can be made easily and expeditiously. The
necessary surveys will begin this week.

Editor Morning Netos: An occasional

boys; tacitly encouraged IN the thieverv

8. Contempt for law and order
4. In lowering true sense of honor that
most lads possess at the start, to, In the end,

The Atlanta Herald says: Judge Lump
Kin said Tuesday that while the letter was
not secret, yet 1t was q private communica-
ton and not intended for the press. He also
said that X there was any harm In a court
official attempting to repay the kindness Of
friends who had offered him favors. he
would confess to such a wrong. But as far
as being the party to any combination was
concerned, any declarations to that effect
were untrue. Judge Lumpkin denied en-
phahcaliy the charge that, on 40
count OF the probability Of Judge
Gober's candidacy for the supreme
bench, he would oppose the reelection of
Chief Justice Bleoklsy. He had stated
over his own signature that he would never
oppose Judge Bleckley, aud that he would
regard the failure to elect the beloved
chlet justice as a calamity to the entire
state. The associate justice concluded by
saying that he was not a candidate for any
thing, and that he could not have given the
letter for publication. Judge Lumpkin in
this conversation draws very plainly the
distinction between privacy and secrecy
and there is very seldom warrant, he as.
