and say that there is not single lodge in

SEVERAL mass meetings were
held in Minneapolis on Sunday
evening to protest against the
Rand ordinance, which was passed
at a session of the city council on
the previous Friday. The ordi-
nance was aimed at what is termed
the spy or crusade system against
the saloons. In so many words,
the Rand ordinance says that the
regulation of the saloons must be
left to the police and municipal
authorities. If the voters of Min
neapolis had performed their duty
at the last election there would
have been no cause for the present
hullabalo in that city. A large
majority of the voters of Minneap-
oils, by their ballots, declared !. in
favor Of wide open policy. They
have made their bed and they
should not make such a fuss be-
cause they are compelled to lie in
it. - T.:

He says it is contrary to all prece-
dents to nominate man three
times for the office of president.
The Georgian sums up the case in
these words: "Cleveland has been
elected president and served one
term. He has been nominated bv
the Democratic party for a second
term and with all the MACHINERY
patronage and power of the adj
ministration in his hands has been
defeated for a second term. If
Democratic usage amounts to any
thing or Democratic precedent is
to be considered, this inevitably
disposes of Mr.. Cleveland for an

The Princeton UNION is saying un-
kind things about the Journal, because,
as a good newspaper, it chronicled the
proceedings of the West hotel conclave,
and the favorable consideration of Mr..
Nelson for the governorship. What
the UNION is mad at is the insinuation
that the ''plutocrats' ever thought of
Nelson at all. But if the UNION
chooses to go on denying the proba-
bllity of such consideration, there is no
use bowling at the Journal as an ''organ
OF plutocracy:" That is not creditable
to the UNIONS good Judgment. The
journal is nobody's hand organ, and the
only music it turns out is the musical
rhythm of the daily news from the
world.-Minneapohs Journal.
That the Journal is a good newsy
newspaper no one will dispute, but
its news is not at all times reliable.
Its report of ''the West hotel con-
clave" had no foundation in fact
existed only in the fertile and
vivid imagination of it's editor.
The Journal believes that a lie
we'll stuck to is as good as the
truth. The Journal cannot pro-
duce scintilla of evidence to prove
that there was any truth whatever
in it's report of the E'plutocrats' y
caucus at the West. On the con-
trary, the UNION has proved by
three reputable gentlemen that the
Journal lied. There is nothing
''howling'' Or stunkind' in this.
1t is simply bare statement of
facts, and facts are stubborn things
even for such first-class metro
polltan newspaper as the Journal
to successfully combat.

A Case With a Moral.

Farmers make a great mistake
when they turn away from the
merchants who live among them
and have an interest in their pros.
perity to patronize the irresponsi.
bic agents of unknown houses in
distant cities. Some of the South
Dakota papers relate the ex-
perience of a great many farmers
in that State with a pretentious
Chicago institution that has lately
disappeared from public view.
Its methods were ingenious, and
its victims are very numerous in
South Dakota, and, perhaps, else
where. Its mission was to save
the farmers the extravaganza prices
they were said to be paying for
family supplies. The agents
solicited them to become members
of the Chicago institution that was
to bless them, but to secure mem
bership it was necessary first to
buy certain book for $3.50,
worth about 50, and to give a
solemn pledge never to reveal to
any one not a member the prices
at which they obtained the goods,
which were alleged to be 40 to so
per cent. below those charged by
home dealers. Some unimportant
article thrown in at nominal figures
as a bait was dWelt upon as a sam
pie. One Of the farmers who had
been taken in by the sharpers was
in st: Paul recently, and had the
curiosity to compare his list of
Chicago prices with these of local
dealers, and was surprised to find
that he had been paying from 40
to 50 per cent. more than the St.
Paul figures, and far more than
his home tradesmen would furnish
the same articles for. The moral
is too palpable for application. -
