GEoReE THOMPSON, proprietor
of the St. Paul Dispatch, and also
a delegate to the National Repub-
llcan convention, does not seem to
think that the salvation of the Re-
publican party hinges upon the re-
nomination of President Harrison.
The :D5spatch in c1iticising Gem
munication favoring Harrison that
appeared in its columns, remarks:
NV hen "A Loyal Republican, can
show that the administration of
Benjamin Harrison deserves to be
placed in the same category as the
hrst administration Of Washington,
jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Lin
coin, or Grant, he can with much
more force urge his contentious on

my comprehension. I do not saw
that every individual who makes
such an assertion is dishon-
est and unpatriotic; but I do saw
that with my recollection of all
those terrible days fresh in nv
mind, it would be dishonest and
disloyal for me to use such an ar
gument. At the time these trans
actions took place, I honestly be-
lleved that it was the very best
thing that could be done. I know
that at that time the course of the
government met the approval of
nearly all the men who desired to
save the nation and of nearly all
the men of brains who were man
aging the finances. It is a verv
easy matter for hair Drained fanaf-
les and financial upstairs to look
wise now and tell what might have
been done, or still more what thew
with their surprising ability, would
have done. But let US not forget
that those matters were all man
aged by men Of great heads and

The Hoggish Northern Pacific
Railroad Company Meets
With RebumS i'm Wash -.
iu~tn1D


WASHINGTON, D. c., May H.
Especial. There is great deal
Of comment here on the manner in
which. the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company has been turned
down since James McNaught set
out to run the government. The
company has lost its suit against
Mary Barden, of, Superior. Nc
Naught, chief counsel, of the
Northern Pacific, argued this case
for the company, while Gen. San
born, of St. Panl, represented
Miss Barden. McNaught's argu-
ment was weak and he made poor
impression. ..... ..~....
In deciding this case against the
company, the supreme court has
given Western settlers guarantee
against the rapacity of this rail
road, McNaught, Cakes and even
Willard have been before the com
mittee on public lands trying to
amend the classification of the
Montana mineral lands. The com.
mittee unanimously voted against
the company. The bill as re,
ported is just to the settlers and
the government but unsatisfactory
to the railroad people. The com
ments of members of the com
mittee on McNaught's speeches
were anything but Complimentary.
The sharpest dressing down that
any attorney has received here this
year was administered to Nc
Naught by Secretary Noble. The
attorney tried to bulldose the
secretary of the interior in the
Yellowstone Park matter. Noble
is making war on the Northern
Pacific park monopoly and the
railroad officials have made a futile
attempt to smircK his official char
aeter. The park company tried to
blacken Russell Harrison's char
acter, but President Cakes finally
admitted before the investigating
committee that Mr.. Harrison had
not received any stock, had not
bargained for any and was not en-
ployed by the Park company as a
lobbyist.

HERE is an eminent French
dlplomate's opinion of Secretary
Blaine, expressed in a cablegram
from Paris under date of Nav
18th: I'M. Paul des Chanel, who
was recently in the United States
on a mission Of the French govern
ment, is an enthusiastic admirer of
James G. Blaine. In conversation
he said he had indeed expected to
find Mr.. Blaine an eminent states
man, but had hardly been prepared
to find him statesman of the ex-
traordinary caliber which he is
now convinced Mr.. Blaine DOS
sesses. MIR. Blaine said M. dies
Chanel, is the diametric opposite
Of the old European notion Of
American political men, He places
Mr.. Blaine IN the first place Of
living statesmen"
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1892-05-19

7. G. CRAWFORD, the we'll known
newspaper correspondent, con-
cludes a well-written and intensely
interesting article on Blaine with
this paragraph: ''That he is re-
garded in Europe as one of the
most potential influences for the
advancement of the power of this
country on this continent is shown
by the opposition to him in coun-
tries whose interests are threatened
by any increase in our growth.
No one is SO persistently misrepre-
sented and criticised in the Eng
llsh press. His retirement from
power would be hailed with de-
light by every Englishman inter-
ested in the vast resources of South
American trade.''

a CHRONIC SOREHEAD.

lnaJ chrome sOfenead and boiler,
Senator A. Y. Eaton, Of WRIGHT
county, is badly disgruntled over
the action of the recent district
convention held at Brainerd. Mr..
Eaton is the gentleman who bolted
the nomination of Hon. VIM. III.
Houlton, as tried and true Re
publican as there is in Minnesota.
in 1890, and was elected senator bv
the grace Of the Democratic voters
of Wright county. In a long
winded senseless diatribe in his
paper-the article we noticed in
an exchange-he finds fault with
the apportionment of delegates to
the Brainerd convention. That
apportionment was exactly the
same as the apportionment made
by the Republican State Central
committee for the State conven-
ton at St. Paul. He asserts that
''the Duluth delegation came to
the front with about 40 proxies
from four small countless That
is a lie pure and simple. The four
counties had Is delegates in all,
and only eight of these delegates
were represented by proxies. We
have a certain feeling of admira-
ton for clever artistic liar, but
an ignorant bungling liar like
Eaton betrays his asinary imbecil-
ity in every line he writes. What
could be expected of an, ignoramus
who figures out that a two mill tax
on $1,000 amounts to 20 cents?
Eaton PIRATES about the greatness
of Wright county and it's immense
Republican vote. In 1890 Wright
county gave the Republican nomi-
nee for governor abeggarly plural
ity of 80 votes, and gave Castle a
plurality Of As over gallant Capt.
Snider, the Republican nominee
for congress. What a banner Re-
publican county! The little county
Of Beltrami did better than that
for the Republican party. In the
Brainerd convention Wright coun-
tvs candidate for delegate, Mr..
W. b. Culkin, and by the way
Mr.. Culkin is a thorough gentle
man-was backed by the counties
Of Wright, Stearns, Benton, Nor
rison and Pine counties that gave
Wilson a plurality Of 1887 over
Merriam. The counties that were
arrayed against Mr.. Culkin gave a
Republican plurality Of 1910.
This man Eaton imagines himself
a large sized toad in the miry
slough of Wright county politics,
and probably he is. But he makes
the mistake of assuming that
Wright county is the Sixth con-
gressional district. Eaton and his
gang Of heelers are not Gin it, in
the Sixth. The stalwart Repub-
licans of the Sixth district have
no use for chronic sorehead and
bolter. The sooner the decent Re
publicans of Wright county find
this out the better it will be for
them f..

INVESTIGATING
The Census Bureau-A Former Clerk Testi
fies to Useless Expenditure of Money.

Tho Census Bureau-A Former Clerk Testi-
fies to Useless Expenditure of Money.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-J. f. Rich
ards, formerly a clerk in the census
bureau, gave testimony Saturday before
the house committee investigating the
management of the census bureau. He
said there were incompetent men in the
bureau and cited several instances in
support of his statement.
Mr.. Richards said T. Campbell Cope
land, chief of the wealth, debt and tax
alton division, was incompetent to per-
form his duties, being an alien and un-
familiar with American ways. Witness
testified that he had made an estimate
In which he discovered that $4,000 was
expended on certain work. As result
of the discovery the work was thrown
out
Another case cited as useless expen-
diture Of money was work done on the
supervision of Mrs. Ellen ii. Walworth,
chief of a section in which from s35, 900
to $4,000 was expended. His observa-
ton generally in that division was that
material was printed In vast quantities
and destroyed and he had been informed
that in certain cases the matter was
taken to the junk shop.
Mr.. Richards estimates the aggregate
Of useless expenditures Of money in that
division at 500, 900, which he said was
caused by frequent changes of clerks
from one section to another and in the
system of conducting the work.
