WILL CONE TOGETHER.


8. NJ. Owens Believes the Alliance
Is Stronger Than Ever.
The Republicans have been figuring
with good deal of eomplaeency during
the past few weeks that the great Al
lance party of two years ago will
be divided in the coming cam
paign. In this, however, they are.
very likely to be disappointed. S. NJ.
Owen, who two years ago made such a
magnificent run for governor on the AL
lance ticket, does not believe that there
will be any division in the independent
party.
If is my opinion he said yesterday,
''that the independents of two years
ago will show more strength this year
than they did in 1896. This prediction
| am satisfied will be verified if things
are managed properly and the right
kind of platform is adopted and a good
ticket placed in the field. A great deal
depends upon the platform and the can
didates. 1t platform is adopted
which will favOrably impress not only
farmers, but also the mechanics and
thousands of others who are engaged in
legitimate branches of business. the
new movement will be stronger than
ever. This will give us flu
sion of men from all parties; the
only one l favor. The other fusion,
where men get together and parcel out
offices, giving this office to one party
and that TO another, is something that
does not strike people fayorably, and L
do not believe it will be done. | receive
great many letters from farmers all
over the state, and it is upon what l
CLEAN from these that l base my belief
that the Alliance is stronger than ever.
| believe that both branches of the
movement will compromise. Both the
Peoples party and Alliance are striving
for the same results, and they will come
together

THE WEATHER.

This is bad weather for everybody.
A dreary succession of cold and rainy
days extending into the month OF May
retardS the farmers and diminishes t he
profits of the storekeeperS. When the
sky is thus continually overcast, men
get discouraged and women grow irrita-
bic. People dream OF impending disas-
asters, which have no reality except in
their imaginatiOnS. and the schemes
out of which they had hoped to realize
great fortunes look unpromising and
present SO many difficulties that they are
abandoned. It iseyerybody's duty to re-
sort toall Legitimate devices for keeping
his spirits up IN such q season. Ma ny
fool has lost the hapDiest experiences by
committing suicide just before they came
tohim. Ii he had gone to the tfleater,
or read an amusing book, or romped
with his children during the gloomy
half hour in which he decided to end
his career, he might have lived to ride
in his own carriage, or to do the other
things which make human existence
delightful. The banks are not going to
break; a financial crisis is not impeHd-
ing; we are in no real danger of a
smallpox or cholera epidemic, and, if
it seems otherwise, it is the weather's
fault. The sun will shine again after
bit, and all will then be well. Let
our good people pray for the coming of
bright DAYS.

4 DECEPTIVE VIEW.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin has had
clouds lifted from its view of the Min
nesota sky. The Alliance had been dis
turbIng the waters to such an extent
that it was feared the state would be
lost to the Republicans in November.
That apprehension was felt at the foam
ing metropolis by the lake. But the
Storm forces rended at the head of
navigation, up to date. of the great
river. and the rainbow circles the
heavens. The state is now booked for
3. HARRISON in November. But the
Milwaukee observer is the victim of a
delusion. There has been no movement
Visible in this state this month that
has any important bearing on the pres
idential vote. 1t is candidly admitted
that the state has never been quite safe
for CLEVELAND ''or a Western man. of
similar politics this year. 1t is as likely,
however, to go that way as it has been
at any time within easy recollection.
It might as we'll be insisted that the Pro
hibltioniStS have had a presidential
boom launched in their midst as that
Republicans ''have captured strong
hold of the enemy" on national issues.
There is no claim of that sort heard Ia
this region.

4 SIN ERuPTION.

The New York Sun is nee dlessly ex-
ercised over its fancy that the two
thirds rule viii! be abIOgated at Chicago
in the interest of the candidate for
whom the Sun does not shine. Whether
the rule Is proper one or not, it has
been observed for about fifty years, and
has become the unwritten law. 1t has
no doubt sometimes defeated candidates
who would have been nominated other
wise. 1t would be the worst possible
time to dispense with it now. There
are objections to it, and it is doubtful
that it ever has much value in securing
unanimity and harmony. But it does not
appear that single delegate has been in
strueted to oppose it at Chicago, nor is
it noted that the question has been
raised in any state or local convention.
Ii is not believed there is ANY purpose
or desire in any quarter to force can
didate upon the party at Chicago by
mere majority vote. IL the party de-
sires change i'll the rule it should be
Indicated, and the delegates so advised
at their election.

OUR DOMESTIC ARCHITECT
URE.

RUDYARD KIPLING, who takes a
gloomy view of most things American,
speaks kindly of st. Paul, but criticises
with pardonable severity some of our
examples of domestic architecture. In
foreign lands they have officers to pro-
teet the public morality and good taste
from the shock Of pernlciOuS printed
and dramatic literature. If our local
treasury were not too depleted to pay
his salary, we ought to have public
censor, with dictatoFiak powers, who
would check ignorant and incompetent
architects in their assaults on the beauty
of our streets. 1t does not cost any
more money to make structure slightly,
and in most instances in st. Paul where
the laws of symmetry and art have
been rudely violated, thousands of adj
ditienal dollars have been consumed in
the wicked enterprise. Rich men,
abetted by dishonest and Subserv-
lent builders, have Ornamented
their houses in the most unpardon-
able fashion, and scattered about ex
crescences of one kind and another which
cry to heaven for vengeance. Ii is no
body's business how a millionaire fur
nishes the rooms where he receives his
guests, because if the suffering is too
acute one need not visit him; but the
public has the same right to protest
against the exteriors of buildings which
are erected in inSolent defiance of the
canons Of decency as it has to protest
against any nuisance. Since the JeHN-
soN-STARKEY contest, the principles of
architecture are well understood In this
community, and there is liable to be a
great and angry uprising if any further
disfguremeutso of our handsome avenues
are attempted.

LAYING DOWN LAW.
Decisions on Legal Publications
and Monopolies.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, May 9. - The
supreme court today decided that
notices of trustees sale and corpora
ton notices of all kinds could be
legally published in newspaper other
than the one designated by the judges
of the circuit court. With regard to
purely judicial notices. the-court did
not deliver any opinion. The ground
for the decision was that the law con-
ferred upon the courts power III mat

OMAHA, Neb., May 9.-Judge Dunno,
of the United States district court, this

brated Nebraska City distiliery case.

running two years shut down. 1t had
been leased to the trust for twenty-five
years, and after being shut down was
sold to q. l.. WoolSey under conditions
that he was not TO use it for distilling
purposes. Woolsey began the manu-
facture of whisky and high wines. The

violation of terms of sale. The defense
was that the terms of the lease Intended

Hon. ID. NJ. Ferry, of Detroit, Mich.

four delegates at large from Michigan to
the Republican national convention to
be held at Minneapolis next month, and
wilt spend the intervening time in this
section of the country. Michigan. ac-
cording to Mr.. Ferry, is for Gen. Alger,
although for how long he declined to
state. He is a warm friend of the Michi-
gan candidate, but beyond saying that
Gen. Ayers name would surely go be-
ore the convention. the well-knowH
scotsman would not express himself.
Mr.. Ferry and his family are delighted
with St Paul. and they will very likely
make their headquarters here during
the Minneapolis convention.
ID. NJ. Ferry is more of business
man than politician, and is the head of
the great seed house of ID. NJ. Ferry &
Co., of Detroit. Like Senator Perry,
who represented Michiganin the United
States senate for many years. ID. Al.
Ferry is Republican. but his connee-
ton with politics has usually been as
member of the state delegation to ma
tfonaI conventions, purely honorary.

Hon. John G. Brown, the handsome
and popular young Duluth Democrat
who will represent the northern part of
the Sixth district at the Democratic
national convention in Chicago next
month, was in the city yesterday look
ing after business interests, returning
to the Zenith City on the late train last
night. MIR. Brown is, of course, a
Cleveland man, and inclined to the
opinion that his favorite will be nomi-
mated at Chicago. regardless of the posi-
lion or the New York delegates.
IF Gov. Hill would retire in favor of
Mr.. Cleveland" he said, 'she would
make ten-strike for himself. That
one act would unity the party in all

an event, would be the unanimous
choice of the party. / have no
doubt that at the time the New York
convention was held Mr.. Hill was led to
believe that the South and the silver
states of the West would declare for
him, but this has not been the case.
Kansas is a fair example, and the action

for free silver and knowing Mr. Gleve-
