REBUKED BY LIND HIMSELF.
The Trusty Congressman Does Not Think
There was any Excuse for 0ppo-
sition to Davis,
he Lashes the Buzzards who were Conspic.
uous in an Effort to Defeat the
Peoples Favorite
Their Morsel of Carrion, he Says, will Soon
be Consu umed, and they will Then
be Detested by Former Friends.

That Hon. John Lind was opposed to
any effort to knife Senator Davis ought
to be apparent to everybody, but as
those who voted for him Will no doubt
try to fall back on his good name to save
themselves from public abuse. the Re-
view has taken the trouble to secure in
writing Mr.. Lind's opinion of the out
come. The question put to him by tele-
graph was for an opinion of the Repub-
lican vote against C. Z. Davis. In reply,
under date of January 10Th, he says:
Editor Review: Having no knowledge
as to what has transpired at our State
Capitol, during the last few days, except
what has appeared in the Eastern press,
can hardly reply to your question. If
it is true as reported in the New York
Dailies that corruption was freely resor-
ted to to defeat the reelection of Sen.
Davis the people Of our State have cause
for congratulation that the effort proved
1 abortlve.
The party was pledged to his return
if successful at the polls. To have vio-
lated this pledge would have been suici-
ded from party stand point. Its de-
moralizing effect would not have been
confined to party, nor to the matter of
senatorial elections As the triumph of
corruption over virtue and political
chicanery over pledged faith, it would
have blighted the hopes Of the patriotic
citizen, destroyed the confidence Of the
people in their servants and infected with
the taint of suspicion every act of the
legislature now sitting.
But duty, party loyalty. and honesty
have conquered. The people breathe
easier The atmosphere has cleared.
..Boodling" not crowned with success,
stands forth in its own nakedness-
ofense to the sight OF every citizen, and
a stencil in the nostrils of all honest
men.
The buzzards, who made themselves
conspicuous while the fight was On, will
soon have their morsel of carrion con-
sumed, and will then stink away from
the political horizon and be forgotten or
detested by former friends.
The victory Of Sen. Davis under the
circumstances means great deal-not
alone in this, that the state has secured
the continued services of an able and
faithful senator, but I assume, at least it
is to be hoped, that the conscience of the
people has been quickened on the ques-
ton of corruption in senatorial elections
and to d realization of the necessity for
selecting men for the legislature whose
integrity is beyond question, and whose
loyalty to duty cannot be swayed by in
fuences antagonistic to our institutions
and foreign to our soil. John Lind.

|clusions:
Senator Peterson's acti0n in not rot
ing for Davis after his promise made al
the Redwood Falls convention two year.
ago, has caused some good hard think
ing among local republicans. The poll
tician's conscience is proverbially elastic
but that man should so far lay aside
his self-respect and act the part Of an In
CRATE so insultingly, is almost beyond
comprehension. In the light of Hon. J.
Lind's dispatch, urging Peterson not to
do as he did. his conduct appears doubly
inexcusable. Several local leaders vol
unteered the assertion last fall that Pet
erson would not keep his promise an /
that they had said so at the time of his
nomination. The event of last week was
a painful verifcation of their farsieht-
edness. And even now these same men
say, rather bitterly, that, although New
Ulm may fume and fret while, never
theless when the honorable Sam returns
home, bis townsmen will forget his
shortcomings and receive him with open
arms; that at the very next opportunity
he will be told to task and it shall be
gwen" If this be true, what parody
on republican politics! But it has not
come to this. Let tus hope it never may.
When next the self-respecting voters Of
this senatorial district are called upon
to decide the question whether they de-
sire sublimatien Of machiavellianism
or conscientious statesman in the upper
house Of the state legislature, the honor
able (by courtesy gentleman will be re-
legated to the political oblivion he has
so nobly earned. ...-

breaking of pledges or any treachery
Whatsoever IN his favor and at the same
time retain his record for honorable deal-
fings in politics. Any uncalled for manifes
tation of regard for him to the detriment
of his friend would have been rebuked
with sternness and as evidence of this we
have his own words No sooner hail he
received the news of Peterson,s treachery
to Davis and his vote for himself than he
dispatched telegram to Peterson and a
duplicate to a friend in st. Paul in which
he begs of honorable treatment at the
hands of Sam and cautions him in Ian
guage as follows:
II am advised that you voted for me.
Such action, though we'll MEANT does
violence to the good faith that we both
owe our party, as we'll as to Senator
| Davis as a friend. beg Of you not to
again embarass me by action that will
not be construed to the credit: of either
| of us"
Sans say he did not receive this telegram
until Wednesday afternoon, although it
was sent as early as Tuesday but wheth-
er he did or not matters little. His own
common sense and his respect for Iind's
good reputation, if he entertains any at
all, ought to have forbidden him from
| voting for him even in the first place, for
no sooner had he done so than Lind was
accused of being in the scheme to defeat
his professed friend and fellow-laborer
A more unnatural accusation could not be
| brought against him, but if it IS attached
to him at all, Sam Peterson is to
is to blame.
| In writing the above the Review has
not aimed at insinuations. It has con-
fined itself to facts and these in themsel-
| YES are enough to convict. We attach
no motive, but are content to deal with
just what we have at hand. From these,
some things are plainly evident regard
ing Messrs. Peterson and Davis, and they
rehectonly disgrace upon the performers.
Both have proved recreant to the people
| who voted for them, and both have been
! recreant to their individual pledges,
traitorous to Senator Davis and insulting
to Lind. Whether anything else enters
INTO their action we have no right and do
not care to say. 1t is enough for US that
they could forget their own promises
| and violate the relations which ought to
exist between man and man as men of
honor. What they can look for from
the public aside from harsh criticism and
! general contempt we are at a loss to sur
mise.

WASP. CULTURE STARTED
Sam Peterson and Charlie Davis Turn Their
Own Friends Into Hornets. --
The Republicans Of Both St. Peter and New
Ulm are Of a Somewhat Heated
Temperament.

st. Peter Republicans are mad. So
are those of New Ulm, Sleepy Eye and
Redwood Falls. What is more, they do
not tread upon ceremony, but speak out
just what they feel. When the news came
of the conduct of Peterson and Davis,
Republicans needed fan. A reporter
handed them one, and we give herewith
what some of them said:
Judge Weber: I hate to believe that
we have men in politics who will stoop
to such things.
Col. Pfaender: am ashamed to th1nk
that any man could go back on his own
vote in the caucus.
Jacob Hottinger: We ought to NEE,
Sam with wheelbarrow and a charivaree
Window recollections are revived.
81. L. Blethen: The English language
fails to express my contempt. I'd like
to fall back on something stronger.
Jacob Kossner: I am more surprised
in Davis of St. Peter than in anyone else
Of the others expected just what we
got.
w. N. c. Bushard: 1t isn't my way OF
doing business. Had the people expec-
ted it Davis and Diepolder would neve,
have been elected.
Postmaster Schmidt: It wasn't right
They may be able to furnish some expla-
nation, but from the circumstances which
are known to exist, they were not justi-
fed in doing as they did.
DR.. Marden: It's an outrage. Had
they not declared themselves to be open
advocates Of C. Z. Davis reelection, no
one could have been free to criticize, but
to go back on him at critical moment,
in face Of pledges, is what puts an ex-
treme1y bad light on the matter.
Peter Scherer: Every ofice-hoIder in
county, state or United States can be
reached by law for misdoings. LegisIa-
tors can do as they please. Ouz last
senatorial election IS severe reminder to
our citizens of what mischief may be
done by men who entirely disregard the
wishes of their constituents
a. blanchard: The excuse given by
Davis of st. Peter that G. Z. Davis
friends had not been friendly to his con-
gressiona1 aspirations IS no excuse at all.
for Davis is not to blame for not being
ab1eto run the affairs Of this cong ngressiional
district. If Charlie thinks that he can
hope to blossom ont as congressional
candidate IN this district IN the future,

The old scriptural Injunction which

although ndiculed for ages by skeptics
and unbelievers, was nevertheless given
in a spirit of kindness that does not con-

Sam Peterson promised and he was be-

will be welF', and like the spider that
tempted the fly he made suckers of us

constant and apparently wen-meant,

COAL PROSPECTS.
What the Reading Receivership and the
Pictou Coal May Mean.

What the Reading Receiversbip and the
Pictou Coal May Mean.
Coal from Pictou in prospect and pos.
ability Of breaking up the monopoly Of
the Reading road. are both Of them new
ideas to Providence people.
But the ideas being new. have led the
people to wondering IL coal is to be
cheaper here. and il present weather Is to
continue tie price OF coal is an impor-
tant thing.
The NEWS man Investigated the sub
feet of coal supply for Providence and
did not feel much encouraged over the
prospect Of fuel for the masses, being any
cheaper.
In the first place most of the coal for
domestic use comes from the piers near
New York, aud is in no way related TO
the coal product or Canada or the coal
used in factories.
Providence consumes about 1000 900
tons of coal each year. Last year the
shipments here aggregated l.2OO.OO tons
This year the amount will exceed that
very much.
At present the greatest amount of coal
comes from Philadelphia. New York aud
Newport News This Is Cumberland coal
and is called Pocahontas coal IL is
mined in Virginia and West Virginia
The freightage on IL averages about 81
Ols
stances can be landed In the pockets here
for about S5 cts. per ton. The cost at the
mines is about 45 cts. per ton AMI the
frsightage to tide water aud the cost of
handling is about 1.70 per ton, making
the total cost at least 50 per ton for coal
landed here. leaving only 25 cts. on the
average to pay the costs of delivery and
profits on the transaction.
In handling large amounts OF coal for
manufacturers Providence until year
ago was in much better position than
Boston. The Chase elevator at Wilkes
barre pier is the most complete holster
for bituminous coal in New England.
The cost OF raising coal from barees by this
device is only about half the cost OF rails
ing IL by the usual methods. Until last
year Boston used the old steam bucket
hoist and its port charges and other costs
give Providence great advantage.
But even AT best the tield 10 which
Providence can deliver coal is limited.
1t is all included within radius OF forty
miles. Outside OF that limit coal can be
hauled by railroad without handling al
rect from the mines. Coal handled this 5
way II worth 20 cents more per ton, be-
cause the breakage Is far less
AS to Pictou coal all the dealers have
had some experience In its use. they are
unanimously Of the opinion that IL

so much more sulphur. IL IL highly com.

Whitney's estimate Of 81 per ton for Goa
delivered T. o. b. at Louisburg Is scarcely
credited. The cost Of mining can &C .rcely
be less than - cents per ton, and it mus
then be handled twice aud carrist
twenfy-seven miles by railroad. Even al
best the cost here would be approx
nately e 15 per ton, 80 that it mus
almost certainly cost nearly as much "a,

One OF the most infamous acts OF van

secured and was piled under buggy
and then fred. The perpetrator then
