SALE OF BUSINESS PROPERTY.

Tuesday the negotiations were
closed which made |. Longini entire
possessor of the Christensen corner,
at the southwest corner of Front and
Jackson streets. Last year he and
Geo. E. Brett purchased the property
of r. d. Hubbard, and have since
owned it jointly. Yesterdays tran
saction makes Mr.. Longini sole owner
of the property. He intends to erect
a handsome building next spring.
Whether this will be a store building
or not we do not know, but there are
those who assert that it is to be a
first-class hotel, finished and furnish
ed in excellent style. A good hotel,
intended to catch the family custom,
and the best of the second class trade,
would be profitable investment in
this city, and would pay from the day
it started. We believe that Mr..
Longini could not make better in
yestment than to put up such build
ing. Whatever he concludes to do he
will make the building credit to the
city.

IT is a common saving that the fed

IT is common saying that the fed
eral government has no more public
land for settlers. In the sense that
government land was plenty few
years ago, this is true, but Uncle Sam
has still pretty good sized farm on
his hands, which if properly reserved
for actual settlers and divided up into
small farms, would give comfortable
homes for good many people. The
total number of acres of public lands
remaining in 1893 was 81, O13, 595, ex-
elusive of Alaska. The greater share
of this lies west of the Mississippi,a and
over 100000 acres of it was in Min
neSota. OF course there is good deal
of mountainous and unproductiye ter
ritory included in this, and large
amount of the remainder will need
irrigation before it will become fit for
the abode of man, but when irrigated
it will become the most productive of
all our acres. AS for the mountainous
and other tracts unfit for various rea-
sons for farming purposes, they may
become, when proper attention is
given to forestry, most valuable Sec
tiOnS.

THE Mankato Journal, whose editor
is supposed to be the guiding spirit of
the PopuliSt party in Blue Earth
county, gives some reasons why only
ten of the fourteen candidates on the
Democratic ticket were endorsed by
the Good Thunder convention. The
four candidates not endorsed were
Pfau for attorney, Torrey for judge
of probate, Pope for senator, and
Thompson for county superintendent
of schools. Here are Mr.. MOrriSOn'S
reasons for not making the thing
unanimous, and thus carrying out to
completion the bargain entered into
by certain of the leaders of the
Democrat and Populist parties:
Mr. Benedict, Republican, was
chosen in place of Mr.. Pau for sew
eral reasons. One reason was that
Mr.. Benedict, being native of Blue
Earth county, whose bOyhOod and in
fact, all the years of his life, were
spent in this county. He was edu-
Gated in the schools of this county;
he has taught in the schools of the
county, and is from one of the best
known and most influential families
in the county, hence he had strong
personal following that no other man
in the county could successfully COM
bat, especially in view OF the fact
that during his one term of office he
has made very creditable record.
Regarding Judge Torrey, he would
have doubtless received the nOmina-
tion had he not displayed his quick
temper in withdrawing his name from
before the convention when he saw
the likelihood of contest.
In regard to the office of county
superintendent, the sentiment of the
delegates was more favorable to Mrs.
Stevens than antagonistic to Mr..
Thompson. The Populists supported
Mrs. Stevens heartily two years ago,
and with desire to retrieve her de-
feat, wanted to see her nominated at
this convention. .
The opposition to Gen. Pope arose
for several reasons, principal among
which was the fact that Mr.. Pope is
anti-free silver. This decided more
than one delegate against him.
AS matter of fact, there is not a
man on the Republican ticket who is
not the peer of any one on the DEM
Pop. ticket, while in almost every
instance the Republican ticket is far
superior in point of ability and ca
pacity. And this fact is patent to
the voters, who will see to it that the
Republican candidates are elected
without exception.

HOW THEY HELP THE TRUST.

The Democrats have done a good
deal of explaining since the sugar
trust tariff bill became law, and they
will have to do good deal more which
will prove just as unsatisfactory, be-
fore election day. But with all the
explanations thus far, they have not
yet explained why they preferred to
take six millions of dollars out of the
hands of the sugar producers Of the
country, and give it to the sugar trust.
They have assailed the uprising of the
sugar planters of Louisiana as simply
move for Doodle. By their legisla-
tion they have financially ruined these
planters, and because they rebel at
such treatment, they are called pro-
tectionists-for-revenue-only. But in
the face of the fact that six millions
Of dollars were taken from the common
people of this country and put into
the pocket of the great sugar trust, as
direct result of the tariff legislation
for which the Democratic party only
responsible, make their many pro-
fessions of winning a victory over the
trusts and wringing from them privi-
leges which belong to the people, the
sheerest hypocrisy. They have done
nothing of the kind. They have struck
a blow at the wage-earner by paving
the way.for the reduction of his wages,
and they have openly and unblushingly
helped the trust rob the people of mil
lions of dollars. In his speech at
indianapolis yesterday, Gov. Mckinley
showed how theDemOcrats had looked
out for the interest of the trust.
The sugar schedule of the law
schedule e. in effect provides for
continuation of the treaty Of 1875,
made with the king of the Hawaiian
islands, under which all sugar from
those islands was, and is, under the
law of 1894, admitted free. The Ian
guage of the schedule quoted is: 'Pro-
vided further, that nothing herein
contained shall be so construed as to
abrogate or in any manner impair or
affect the provisions of the treaty Of
commercial reciprocity concluded be-
tween the United States and the king
of the said islands, on the Both day of
January, 1876, or the provisions of any
act of congress heretofore passed for
the execution of the same"
This provision was inserted in the
law by the senate. 1t gives to the
great sugar trust, said Gov. Mckinley,
an advantage which has not hereto
fore been suspected. The sugar pro-
duction of the Hawaiian islands is I'M
der the control of the sugar trust;
that country is the field of it's pri-
mary operations. The Democratic
party took away from the sugar raiserS
OF the United States the bounty of
S1O,OOO,OO0 year and bestowed a
bounty of S6,000,000 a year on the
sugar producers of the Hawaiian
islands, giving them an advantage of
over not only the sugar producer of
the United States, but of the whole
world outside of those islands.

A SURPRISE.

This is what awaits the person who
walks into the Mankato Cheap Store,
next to the FIRST National bank. A
FREE PRESS reporter found the well
known proprietor, Martin Walser, up
to his neck in work today, unpacking
new goods and loading down the
shelves with choice articles Of all
kinds. The stock completely fills the
first floor and basement, yet only
portion of it is unpacked. But by
Oct. 18th or Nov. 1st all will be dis
played and rare sight it Will be. On
the first floor are dry goods and notions
of all kinds, stationery, fancy crockery
of all varieties. Everything needed
in furnishing a house, from kitchen
to garrett, is here, and everything
needed in clothing ones self in the
latest and most comfortable style
Here can be found ladies' and gentle
mems underwear, hosiery, etc.
The basement has been fitted up
and is now overlooking with fancy
goods and children's toys. Here is
also another display of crockery, glass
ware and lamps. One department
contains new and pleasing stock OF
plush goods. A vast quantity of doll
carriages, hobby horses, shoe flies, doll
rockers, children's rockers, yelocipedes
and tricycleS, and express wagons
makes the children's eyes stand out
with delight. This room is the child
ren's paradise. His toys and books
are here, and here, also, are the child
ren's underwear.
1t would take up too much room to
call attention to everything in this
store. and we will simply say that the
goods are the best, well selected and
well arranged and classified in de-
partments by themselves. The prices
are away down, and nobody need stay
at home for fear of not having long
enough pocket book. Mr.. Walser has
been in the business some years, and
now has the finest stock he ever car
ried, and it includes almost everything
under the sun. If persons want any
thing, they are pretty sure to find it
at the Cheap Store. This name is
given to the store because the prices
charged are so low, not because an in
ferior and cheap line of goods is car
ried. Everybody is invited to call and
look over the goods, whether wishing
tOpurchase or not, and accommodating
treatment will be offorded by the
genial proprietor and force Of clerks.
The September number of the
School Journal, of New York, contains

compliment as teacher, and pro-

the best of the session.

In his address at Albert Lea Satur-
day evening, Gov. Nelson said that he
was not a candidate for United States
senator, as had frequently been
charged; that he was simply candi-
date for Governor, and, if elected, ex-
pected to serve out his term. He
declared he had not been, was not,
and should not be a candidate for
senator before the next legislature.
That frank statement ought to set at
rest the many stories which have
been banded around the state on that
matter.
