GOOD FOR KENTUCKY.

In the defeat of w. G. P. Breckin-
ridge for a denomination for congress,
the people of the Ashland district of
Kentucky have rendered valuable
service to humanity. 1t is not per-
sonal triumph of Mr.. Owens, for it is
probable that any candidate of good
moral character could have made the
fight and met the approval of the peo-
pie. The fight has been a severe one,
but the mature reflection of the Demo-
cratic party there has been that a
man of Col. Breckinridge's character
was not tit to occupy seat in con-
gress. The acceptance of Mr.. Breckin-
ridge would have been lasting dis
honor to the state of Kentucky. He
had the audacity to declare that he
had not received justice at the hands
of the courts, and that he would seek
vindication at the hands of his con-
stituents. He has met the rebuke he
richly deserved, the verdict of the
court has been approved by the peo-
pie and he has been relegated to pri-
vate life, and there in Oblivion let him

clination than inability so to do; and
inasmuch as all the representative of
the German lodges expressed their
willingness to accept the exclusive
use of the English ritual if permitted
to retain the privilege of using the
German translation for a stated time,
thus tacitly if not directly refuting
the claim that the German lodges
cannot acquire, if they do not already
possess. the ability to do their work in
English, and in view of the fact that
all the loyal German lodges have been
in possession of the English ritual
alone and using it to the exclusion of
the German ritual in comforting ranks
upon their members for more than
eighteen months, the committee was
CT the opinion, not only that the SUI
preme Lodge would make mistake
in taking any backward step, but that
if these lodges can within the space of
from one to five years master the En-
glish ritual by having the right to use
the German language, they could
more readily and in much less space of
time perfect themselves in the use of
the English ritual were they not per-
mitted to use any other language. 1t
was shown before the committee that
less than half dozen German-Ameri-
can lodges out of total number Of
some hundred and seventy-siX in eX-
istence are unable to work the ranks
in the English ritual, while the great
majority of the German lodges have
been more prosperous since the pro-
of the exclusive English
ritual than they were when permitted
to use the German translation. If the
editor of the ReDie,o would treat upon
with which he has at least
slight knowledge, rather than to draw
questions into debate, he
would appear to much better advan

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.

r. G.. Dun & Co. in their review of
trade for the past week says: "Busi-
ness has met no setback this week and
continues larger than earlier in
August, and larger than a year ago,
directly after the panic. The country
has passed nearly three weeks under
the new tariff, and all admit that
changes have been of less Importance
as yet than was expected. If in some
branches business has materially in
creased, it has gained only little or
has fallen off in Others" They further
state that the loss in some directions
is explained by the crop reports, the
most favorable estimates of experts
putting the loss of corn at about 400,-
100000 bushels, and the government
report is interpreted by some to mean
aloss of 1000, 900 bushels, but this
is considered as muchtoo large. Pork
has remained unchanged, but the re-
ports as to wheat are not very en-
couraging. There has been consider
able increase in the production of iron,
but the activity in dry goods has con-
siderably abated.
Bradstreet's reports continued i'm
provement in general trade, but have
little to say of the situation in manu-
featuring circles. The exports of
wheat were considerably less than for
the week previous, and but little more
than half what they were for the
same week last year.

The ReUieoD does not seem pleased
over the outcome of the Good Thunder
convention, but having had nothing
to do with the trade made by the
leaders of the Dem-PopS, it's editor
draws consolation therefrom. 1t is
rumored that an independent Demo
cratic legislative ticket will be put in
the field but it cannot be possible
that the editor of the RecieaU is impli-
Gated in such movement, as he has
already put himself on record as claim
ing that Messrs. Howard, Pratt and
O'Connor were nominated as Demo
Gratis and as such would receive the
cordial support of the party. Possibly
these men were nominated more as a
part of a contract with the POpulists
than on their records as Democrats!
We say possibly this was the case.

THE RING LAID OUT.

For party which has so much to
say about principle as the Populists
have INDUCED in from time to time,
their convention at Good Thunder
yesterday was queer spectacle. Out
side of the legislative ticket it aban-
doned all pretense of a ticket of it's
own and simply picked where it
could do the best in deal for offices.
The result shows it was simply bust
ness matter with them, in which
they hoped to attract strength
enough to their legislative ticket to
elect it. The hope will be barren
one, for the shameless deals which
they have carried on with Democracy,
and chances which they have held out
in hopes Democracy would accept,
have so disguised the people that
their scheming is doomed to defeat,
and the Republican ticket which was
assured of success from the first, is
still further strengthened.
The action yesterday seemed to
have doomed the democrats as we'll.
In their convention the other day
they threw aside all principle and
swallowed the Populist legislative
candidates so far as representatives
are concerned, in the vain hope, and
without doubt, among the leaders on
both sides, with the expressed under
standing that Gen. Pope and the en-
tire county ticket would be endorsed.
But it proved to be another case
where the arrangements may have
been well made, but the leaders could
not deliver the goods, The whole
deal, whereby all principle was thrust
one side, savored of simply an attempt
to divide up the spoils of office be-
tween them, hoping the people would
ratify the deal in November. So far
as the Democratic end is concerned
they have already met defeat. They
sacrificed honor and principle and en-
dorsed the Populist representative
ticket and have received practically
nothing in return. The endorsement
of some of their county ticket is more
than offset by the dissension which
prevails in their own ranks.
The deal which it was attempted to
fix up, was engineered by ring of
Democrats who were working merely
for their own personal advantage.
But their schemes have been badly
shattered, their hopes have been lie
eled to the ground, they have not only
gained nothing for themselves but
have lost and have left their party
without legislative ticket in the field
farther than their senatorial candi-
date. This SCATTERING of the rings
prospects has been brought about
largely by the action of the younger
element of the Democracy, which adj
vOcated and worked for a straight
Democratic ticket and have done
what they could to defeat the schemes
of the ring in the interests of pure
politics. At the polls next November
the people will do the rest by electing
the straight Republican ticket from
top to bottom, and lay the ringsters
away upon the shelf.

IT is not to the credit of any respec-
table journal to falsely drag fraternal
society matters into political discus
sions on the preteXt of drawing par
allel to vindicate the action of the
Democratic county convention in
ignoring the claims of the German
Americans for an equitable represen-
tation on the Democratic ticket. The
statement contained in Fridays Re
Uieao, that the editorof the FREE PRESS
''has just returned from the National
Encampment of Knights of Pythias,
where he joined in report that prac-
tically excludes 10000 German
Knights from the order simply be-
cause they ask the privilege of read
ing the ritual of the order in their
native tongue" is false in the main.
True, the editor of this paper did join
in report declaring it to be to the
best interests of the order that the
ritual should be printed only in the
dominant language of the country in
which the lodges were organized and
had their existence, and therefore
that only English rituals should be
permitted for all the English speak
ing nations and provinces: German
ritual, with no English translation
thereof, for the Empire of Germany;
a French ritual for France, and so on
through the catalogue. False is the
statement that this action practically
excludes 10000 German Knights from
the order, or any other number The
committee appointed by the Supreme
Lodge to report upon the use of the
German ritual in this country, which
ritual had been-together with all
other rituals printed in foreign Ian
guage Of whatsoever kind-abolished
two years previously, instituted a
thorough Investigation into the effect
which the abolition of this ritual had
worked upon German-American
lodges. This investigation led to the
inevitable conclusion that while in
some instances to individual lodges it
was an inconvenience, and in a few
isolated cases it may be hardship up
on some of the German lodges to be
compelled to suddenly change their
rituals from German to English, yet
in most cases the failure OF the lodges
to maintain and increase their mem
bership is the result rather of disin-

A BOLD BURGLARY.

A robbery of unusual boldness was
committed Saturday night at the
MinneOpa House. Theo. Rudberg
who clerks at d. l.. Clements store
boards there. He left his room at
ten o'clock to go to the barber shop
and returned an. hour later, when he
found that in the meantime his trunk
had been taken away, and also a new
suit of clothes just purchased at a cost
of S35. He and the other boarders
thought that some One' in the hote
was playing joke on him, and he die
not mention the occurrence on the
outside.
Sunday morning. Mrs. o. o. Pitcher
found some mems underclothing anC
neckties much the worse for wear in
her back yard. Investigation showed
that Mr.. Rudberg's trunk was lying
back of III. p. Jensen's shop. From it
had been taken quantity of under
wear and furnishing goods, but every
thing that was marked with the
owners name was left. There was
also between Sc and 81 in money taken.
The total loss, including the clothes,
amounts to $50, and Mr.. Rudberg can
i'll afford such a loss.
Two boarders went to ST. James
Saturday night, and it was suspected
that they might know something of
the burglary. John Rudberg and Mr..
Ellefson went there yesterday morn
ing and went through their belong
ings, and it was evident that they
were not the parties wanted. The
only clue to the thief are the initials
"F. H." on one of the neckties which
they left. 1t is believed that she
burglary was committed by some one
who knew the house and was watch
ing Mr.. Rudberg's movements. A re-
ward will be paid for any information
leading to the recovery of the goods
or the conviction of the thief. 1t is
believed that two men were engaged
in the work, as the wearing apparel OF
two men were found. This apparel
was of heavy and rather coarse make
The men evidently carriedrthe trunk
to the place where it was found and
rified it at their leisure, leaving in il
what they did not want.
Shortly after two o'clock Saturday
night officer Daniels noticed that the
glass from large pane in the north
rear window of d. L. Clements store
had been removed, only small piece
remaining. He left officer Grout on
the ground and awoke A. M. Clements,
who made an investigation of the in
terror OF the store, but could not find
that any goods were missing. 1t is
believed that the intruder was fright
ened away before he got in. The glass
was broken into three large pieces and
two of these were carefully removed,
but no chisel marks could be seen.
Only a small man or boy could have
gotten in through the aperture.

day night, with mastery speech, a
large portion of which was devoted to
the silver question. Mr.. McCleary
has given this subject close study land
the Pioneer Press pays him a compli-
ment of high order in stating that few
men in congress are as well equipped
to discuss the money question as
clearly and intelligently. By citations
from history he shows the attitude of
the Populists to be erroneous, and
cleared away many of the fallacies
that the fiat money crowd have put
forth as solemn truth. If a campaign
of education is what the Pops desire,
Mr.. McCleary is well prepared to do
his part in it.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.

Louis Polchow, the thirteen year
old son of Fred PolchOw, was acct
dentally shot Sunday between eight
and nine o'clock. A thirty-two cali
bre revolver bullet entered his left
leg from behind, five or six inches
above the ankle joint. He was taken
to DR.. Warmers office by his father
and the bullet was taken out four
inches above the ankle in the front of
his leg, showing that the bullet had
passed downward after entering. The
accident occurred near Mr.. Polchow's
house in West Mankato, and for
tunately the wound is not a bad one,
having only passed through the flesh.
Young Polchow's story is that some
one whom he did not know rose up
from behind a stone and shot him as
he passed. Officer Daniels was put to
work on the case, and learned that
two young boys living in West Man
kato, of respectable parentage, had
stolen arevolver from the buggy of
Mr.. Hill. They gave it to Polchow
and it is believed that the latter &C
cidentally shot himself. When the
officer threatened to lock him up UNI
less he told where the revolver was,
he said that he had thrown it near
Mr.. Mickelby's house. The officer
found it there. This case ought to be
a lesson to young boys who have a
morbid desire to own a revolver, which
is a very dangerous thing.

If stained, heat the stained spots first.
Fruit stains will, many of them, come
out if soaked in sweet milk. Other
stains come out if the spots are wet with
alcohol and washed out in clear, cold
water before allowing suds to touch
them. Stains of milk OR soft eggs must
be soaked in clear, cold water for 10 min
utes when washed. Use mild, white
soap and make a strong lather, only let
ting the soap touch the fabric at some
obstinate grease spot. Teacloths or 9TH

handful of salt is added to the first
suds, which should be barely lukewarm.
The second may be hotter. Wash
quickly through both. Fold smoothly
