LAST year the St. Paul Globe.
dealt out liberal doses Of taffy to
the Alliance men, but this fall,
when there is no election on, the
organ of Minnesota Democracy is
not dealing in honied phrases.
This scathing reference to the AL
lance members of the Minnesota
legislature appeared in the editor
ial columns of the Globe of Oct.
23rd, 1898.
In it's earlier days the Alliance in
this State was an adjunct of farming
devoted to securing cheaper prices for
it's members, but it was not long before
it was seen by the walking delegates''
of the organization that it was power
| full political machine if it could be de-
flected to that end. The result was
that the Alliance became a field culti-
waited by a lot of political farmers for
their own emolument. They ''farmed
the farmers to get into county Offices;
into the legislature; into anything with
a salary attachment. Some small sue
cesses engendered ambitions for higher
flights. Congress and the State Offices
were none too small crops for the
''journeymen farmers to get reaped
for them by the farmers. Aided by
adventitious circumstances, they
reache ed high water mark in 1890. The
solvent of perception that they
were being worked by the professionals
began it's operation, and the poll of -;
showed how it had weakened the move

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune: The re-

a good thing, no doubt, but there
are a few ills that flesh is heir to
that cannot be ascribed to that
''iniquitous'' law. Some Of the

reached the point of charging the
railway disaster and the yellow

the senate's delay IN getting rid Of
the Objectionable measure.

Light.

Light.
The grandest sentence in any book
in the world is this, in holy writ:
"And God said, Let there be light; and
there was light" Natural science can
tell you in detail how absolutely in
dispensable light is to the continuance
of any form of life on our globe. It is
not the purpose of this paragraph,
however, to discourse upon the benefits
of natural light, but to present some
curious facts connected with it, and the
numerous artificial means of illumina-
ton, invented by the ingenuity of man.
The ancients thought that objects were
made visible by something projected
from the eye, and it was not until about
$50 years before the Christian Era that
men began to ask-Why can we not
see in darkness? It then dawned upon
somebody that light falling upon an
object was what made it visible, and
that the eye was only machine for re-
ceiving the rays of light and transmit
ting to the brain the impressions they
give as to the size, shape and color of
external things. The first artificial
light was probably a burning brand =
then a reed saturated in oil, then the
tallow dip, the candle, the oil lamp,
the kerosene lamp, gas, and last and
greatest, the electric light. Intellectual
light is another kind the light needed
to guide our actions, and that is fur
nished by the experience Of ourselves
or others. If you want light on the
subject Of travel, everybody's expert
ence is clear as the sun that the Burl-
ington Route is the best for all travel
ers. For information, tickets, maps,
ETC., address W. J. G. Kenyon, Gen.

Many Cities.


Many Cities.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Mr. Blaine's death
was the principal topic of conversation
today at the clubs, hotels, public offices,
board of trade, stock exchange and all
places where men congregate, and
on every side were heard express
sions of sorrow and regret that so
able an American had been taken from
from the service of his country. Flags
on the city hall and the federal build
ings were lowered TO half-maSt as soon
as the news was received. The Blaine
and all the Republican political clubs
will pass appropriate resolutions, and
probably appoint commuters to attend
the funeral.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 27.-When Col.
r. q. IngersOil, who is here today. was
asked If he had anything to say con-
cerning Mr.. Blaine's death, he replied:
mo, that's subject Of which | have
nothing whatever to say" Col. lnger-
soil, in his famous nominating speech at
Cincinnati sixteen years ago, first re-
ferred to Mr.. Blaine as the "'plumed
knight" by which title the dead states
man has since been most Familiarity
known.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The tidings of
Mr.. BIane's death spread over this town
rapidly, causing little surprise, however,
as the end had been so long anticipated
that the demise caused no shock. 1he
flags were speedily hoiSted to half-maSt
on the city hall and Oh the Tribune
building.
DENVER, Jan. 27.-Shorty after the
announcement OF the death of Mr..
Blaine flags on all buildings were low
cred to half-statf. All The newspapers

Tokod, near Gran, this morning. Fire
broke out Immediately after the eX-

the explosion. The shaft was not inn

almost at once. The bodies of nineteen
men who had been killed by the shock
were found near the bottom of the shaft

The council committee on judiciary,

first time Yesterday afternoon to listen
to the wants Of the various city boards
and departments. Messrs. Ankeny,
Pratt and Jaeger, of the school board,

OF school affairs. They asked for the
committee TO recommend the issuance
of $3.50, eco worth of bonds, to be used in
purchasing school sites and erecting
buildings. President Ankeny said that
the board desired TO erect seven school
buildings within the next two years,
and that it was almost neceS-
sity that at least three build
ings should be erected during
the present year. The buildings should
lie located as follows: One III North
Minneapolis, above Twentieth avenue;
one in New Boston and kenWOOd; also
new building on Lowry hill. He said
there was also 4 demand for building
near Third avenue south and the city
limits. lie estimated that the school
population was growing at the rate Of
2.0C0 a year. which meant The erection
oi five or six buildings every year. Mr..
Ankeny also offered some suggestions
about radiStTicting the districts so that
the board would have full control over
all districts that are Ci,her in part Or.
wholly within the city limits. EX-Ald.

CABINET RUMORS.
Gresham's Chances for
Portfolio.
Mr.. Harrity Says That He Is Not
Candidate for ANY
Office.

NEW York, Jan. 27.-The Sun has
the following regarding the possible Sc
lection of Judge Gresham as cabinet
officer:
There were indications in Mr.. Cleve-
lands visit to town yesterday that he
has his eye on JudgeW Walter q Gresham,
of Indiana. The distinguished In
dianian was in New York short time
ago and conferred with some of Mr..
Cleveland'S closest friends. Since
then the president-elect and Judge
Gresham have been in direct cummuni
cation with each other. and the gossip
yesterday was to the effect that Judge
Gresham would have an important place
in Mr.. Cleyeland's administration if he
desired it. Mr.. Cleveland is now wait
ing to hear from Judge Gresham. The
Indiana situation is peculiar. Senator
voorhees, and Senator Turpie are pro-
vided for Senator Turpie has 20 cd
time to serve in the senate. Sena-
tor Voorhees, term expires IN about two
years, AMI he would like to see ex-G0v.
Isaac p. Gray in Mr.. Cleveland's cab
met. and thu out of the way as a COM
petitor for the senate. But if Mr.. Gresh-
am goes in what becomes of Gray?
Judge Gresham is very popular in In
diana, both with Democrats and Repub-
licans. In the last campaign he came
out for Cleveland.
A local paper bas this to say regard
Ing possibilities for PreSident-elect

arm; Friends OF his are urging his avail
ability as cabinet officer upon Mr..
(InUQIanH If Ic that Inhnl (Nrnch In
am has declared most positively that he
will not accept any such place under the
next administration. but greater men
have been known to change their minds.
Some of Mr.. Cleveland'S advisers have
tried to convince him that it would be
a great stroke of politics to secure such
a man, and argue that it would prove a
sop TO the PopulistS. which would bring
them into the Democratic party in a
body in the Western states.
