THE FIGHT IS ON.

The few Democrats bent upon
plunging city affairs into politics have
had their way and there is now moth
ing left but for Republicans to take
up the cudgel and fight to the finish.
The FREE PRESS, ia common, as we
believe, with large majority Of the
people of Manka to, deplores the eX-
listing condition into which matters
have drifted, as there is certainly no
permanent or even temporary gain to
be wrought.
In all sense of justice Mayor Willard
should have been unanimously recalled
to the chair he has filed the past two
years. The unanimity of sentiment
which existed at the mass. meeting in
1891 for his acceptance of the position
led him to sacrifice personal interests
to bear the burdens of public office,
and his administration has been so
clean from scandal or profigacy that
it would have been only just recog-
milton to worthy officer and an hon
ored citizen to have laid party consid-
Grafton aside and endorsed his official
acts by rendering him a hearty and
unanimous reelection.
Mr. Willard is gentleman of fine
sensibilitieS. He is not an office seek
er nor a seeker after office. He is a
busy business man. But like a pat
riotic citizen that he is he laid aside
personal interests to respond to a pub
lie demand; and it certainly would
have been a source of qualification to
him to have been accorded second
term on the same grounds as the first,
even though he did not seek it. But
a few spoils hunters decreed other
wise, and now the fight is on.
In another column Mr.. Willard re-
spends to the petitioners who asked
him to become comparison candi'
date, and his answer is clear from
evasion on misconStructioD. He de-
clines under the circumstances to al
low his name to come before the con-
vention or to permit himself to in any
way be considered. Mr.. Willard is not
unmindful of the compliment paid
him by the citizens of Mankato, and
he says so. But the city of MankatO
has paid Mr.. Willard no higher COM
pliment than his citizenship has been
compliment to Mankato.
The Democrats Tor faction OF
them have forced a partisan issue.
The Republicans have nothing lef
but to accept the situation. If the
convention tomorrow shall act in that
cOnSiderate manner necessary to a
judiciOuS selection of candidates tC
fill the various offices, clean SWEEP
will easily perch upon the Republican
banner.
Let the party get together upon the
lines Of nominating only snch men as
will be credit to the various posi-
tions to which they will be called tC
fill, and trust to the good judgment
of the voters to do the rest.

SOMEWHAT SCARED.

Referring to the Investigation of
the coal combine of this state, and
the threat of some OF the coal barons
to shut Minnesota out of the coal
market, the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
The action of the Minnesota legis-
lature has frightened the anthracite
coal trust out Of it's senses. No firm
or corporation in a sane condition
would gravely threaten great COM
mOnwealth of deprivation OF a neces-
sity of life in which such firm or cor
poration traded. Edmund Burke
said: GU can not frame an indict-
ment against nation" so neither
can you proclaim boycott against a
state: the undertaking is too vast.
There is, for example, such weapon
against monopoly as the doctrine of
an eminent domain. In the case of
emergency, such, for instance, as the
refusal of a great mOnOpOlistic asSOci-
alton of coal owners TO sell coal on
reasonable terms, state government
or national government, may seize
their mines and operate them for the
benefit of the people, paying to the
owners of them reasonable cOmpensa-
ton, and no more than that. We are
of those who would be sorry were the
government compelled by circumstan-
ceS to resort to this extreme measure,
but of its power and right to resort to
it there is no doubt. There is, how
ever, very little cause to apprehend
the necessity of such governmental
action. Strong state laws, supple
mented by federal law, can keep the
greatest trust in check. The threat
of the Pennsylvania coal barons
against the state of Minnesota is but
inSolent and idle vapor.

There are threats on every side of
knitting the ticket. The defeated can

prospect of electing the full Republi-
can ticket was so bright.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1893-03-24
COOL JUDGMENT NEEDED.

The great sensation touching the
legislature just at present is the turn
affairs have taken in the coal combine
investigation ty the joint legislative
committee. There is no question but
that in their attempt to smash the coal
combine, the people will be willing to
justify any action which may be taken
by their representatives in the legis-
lature, and there is no doubt but that
in getting rid of great conspiracy
against the public good, radical meas
ures must be resorted to. There is no
one who as the welfare OF the people
at heart, who does not hope that
something may be accomplished in
freeing the public from the outrag-
eOuS eXactiOnS of this combine. A
lesson should be administered to those
who would concentrate capital for il
legal purposes, and they should be
given to understand that such an OPP
preston will no longer be tolerated.
But in getting rid Of these illegal
combines, care should be taken that
every move made can be justified, be-
cause it is right, and that precedent
is not formed, which in the future, in
the hands of bad men, may be used to
invade upon the rights of private cit
liens. In carrying on this investiga-
ton, cool judgment is needed. The
state has seemingly strong case, and
some of the guilty parties ought to be
made an example of, but the mode TO
procedure should at all times be
within the bounds of the claw The
state is only strong when it is right.
1t was matter to be expected that
case of this kind more or less talk of
an incendiary nature would be con-
nected with it, and it has been in-
dulged IN by parties on both sides.
But there is no occasion for anyone to
lose his head, land whatever advantage
is to be gained by the people from now
on in this investigation, in favor of a
freer market, and reasonable prices, is
to be gained, not through any hot
headed action, but by the exercise of
cool, calm, intelligent judgment,
upon the part of those who are con-
Quoting 1t.
But passing whatever right the leg
islative committee may have had 10
Selling the books and letters in ques-
ton, there can be no doubt but that
that committee has succeeded in Sc
curing strong proof against the COM
bine, and the question naturally
comes up as to what will result there,
from. The legislature has placed
itself on record as sustaining the com,
mittee, what use will it make of the
proof so obtained? Will it follow it
up in a way which will benefit the
people and secure commercial free
dom in this particular line, at least, in
the future and serve as warning to
those who would concentrate capital
in other lines, for illegal purposes, to
desist? 1t has chance to do great
service for the people, and the people
are closely watching to see how wisely
it will proceed in the matter.
