The article III the Globe Of Monday,

The article IN the Globe Of Monday,
published elsewhere in this paper, is enc
Of the evidences Of what base meanness
politics consists. 9. e. Davis never had
a better friend than John Lind and Sam
Peterson knows it. The only reason in
the world that the traitorous senator can
give for voting against his pledges with
out besmirching his own character is
that he didn't like to have John ind
watch him. And that's a paltry excuse
too, for everybody knows now that he
needed watching badly and Ndoes 50 to-
day.
We would like to know how the Globe
figures out possible success for Demo
cracy on the ground that the Republl-
cans did not have a majority of all votes
cast two years ago. Such argument
smacks very much of bid for fusion.
When the Minneapolis Tribune at
tempts to read Frank Day out of the
party on account of his silver views, it
undertakes task that may begin with
Day, but will never enc until the party
is disrupted beyond redemption.

4 LIBELOUS FALSEHO0D,
The Globe Tells Of Certain Developments
that Sam Peterson will Make.
He is to CLAIM that John Lind Wanted
his Vote for Senator.

A Minneapolis writer in the st. Pau
Globe of Monday has been stuffed by
Sam Peterson or his lieutenants and glres
to the public the following damnable
libel upon the political character OF Hon
John Lind: Unless grapevine reports are
unusually incorrect, one of the biggest
political explosions ever known in the
state is billed to come off in Brown
county when the senatorial convention
for that district meets. 1t will be recol-
lected that in the last legislature Senator
Sam D. Peterson, of that county, d'stln-
suished himself by voting against =. H.
Davis and in favor of John Lind for
United States senator. Davis friends
freely circulated the charge that Peter
son had sold himself for money con-
sideration..
Recently there has been some differ
ence of political opinion between Sam
and the silver-tongued ex-congressman
of New Ulm, which has strained their
relations to the breaking point. 1t IS
now given out that Sam will take the
stand at the senatorial convention men
toned and reveal some things, which,
while they will not reflect much credit
an Mr.. Lind, will serve somewhat to re-
lievc Sam from the odium which he has
uncomplainingly borne for the two years
last past.
The nature of the revelation which
Sam will make is said to be OF this KIND
and it is claimed that he has letters from
Mr.. Lind to prove it:
That while Mr.. Lind was posing as
friend of Davis, he was secretly IN plo'
to defeat that gentlem and secure the
seat for himself; that, at his sequest Mr.
Peterson withheld his vote from Davis
after he Davis) had been nominated II
the caucus, and gave it to Mr.. Lind II
the hope that there would be enough
more votes withheld to tie the thing uE
in long contest which might and pro-
bablv would have resulted in the cleo
tion of Mr.. Lind. The writer is informed
that these are the facts in the case ano
that they will be fully substantiated al
the forthcoming senatorial convention II
that district.

Unheld by the Advance.

The Springfield Advance has the fol-

Republicans of Springfield and vicinity
who recently caused an article to be pub

The r.monstrance OF Springfield re-
publicans against the bossism and cut
and dried methods Of the county con-
vention very naturally draws out critic
ism from the mouth. piece ofthe machine
crowd. the Sleepy Eye Dispatch. These
remarks only more thoroughly expose
nose the weakness of the machine. In
stead of meeting the issue squarely,
whether the republican party of Brown
county is to run itself or to remain a
machine to forward the interests of SD.
Peterson, the Dispatch would befog it
by talking about The heaven OF Spring
field being New Ulm, and calls the kind
of politics of the county convention
"reform"-speaks about those who want
ed the rank and file Of the party to run its
convention and select its delegates as
"bosses." This is rich. 1t is enough to
make even so astute a politician as II.
G.. Hays smile. Such heaven might
be good enough for the Dispatch,but the

fielders is the radiance of the ruinous
candidacy of such self seeking politici-
an as Senator Peterson. They can see no
hope forit until this is d'ne. And they
are not politicians who seek this. They
are business men and tarmers-meD whose

fish. Throw overheard this Jonah, II

The Popularity of Custard.

Very few of those who habitually
eat at the cheap restaurants in the
vicinity of the city hall can have fail
ed to notice the large amounts of Gus
tard pies and custard buildings which
are consumed by men, and mostly
middle aged men at that. Custard
in one of its various forms and a glass
of milk constitute a very large part
of the luncheons that are eaten.
When the manager of one of these
eating houses was asked for an ex-
PLANTATION Of the phenomena recently,
he said:
I'VE undoubtedly sell a big lot Of
custard, especially in pies. Most men
seem to like it, and there is a heavy
demand for it in summer. But there
is another reason for its popularity.
1t is quick lunch. A man can eat
custard about as fast as he can drink
a glass of water, and with many of
our customers that appears to be
the thing desired They want some
thing that will not keep them long,
and custard being pleasant enough in
itself is hit upon. We have our reg
ular custard customers, and tell you
they can eat their favorite dish in
record time It's wonderful even to
me, and see good many varieties

Nature Versus science.

exchange of power for speed. The

served, is about the last bird we
should expect speed from. 1t has
enormous surface, is very heavy
forward and has comparatively
long neck and heavy head, and at the
same time it has very small wings,
but Notwithstanding these apparent
disadvantages the wild duck is one
Of the swiftest birds in fight, sur
passed only by the wild goose, which
is even more heavily handicapped.
The whale is a ponderous bulk,
having propellers which are exactly
the reverse of what we should sup
pose the correct position, lying hori-
zontally on the water when at rest
instead Of vertically, as vessels pro-
pellers are. Moreover, the flukes of
the whales screw are very small in
deed, and also the reverse of what
man makes. Their least surface is
at the tip and their largest at the
hub or junction of the body, but a
whale goes through the water with
this apparatus like fast steamboat
and can tow q heavy whaleboat full

clever people. The Cherokees in
the main part are a. we'll educated
and as far advanced as the whites
of any place in the states. They
have their schools and colleges, and
some of them are advanced to ma.
tional repute for their attainments.
But when you find the pure blood
in the remoter districts, they are to
be imposed upon. They are keen
too. Some, and many of them, have
contracted debts ON the strength of
the payment. The willy speculator
came among them and contracted
with them for their rights at a dis,
count from 10 to % per cent. lie
paid them money down, obtained
their signature, went and filed the
contract with the head man of the
payment, and drew their full share
The poor creditor whistled for his
money. The men of the payment,
you will understand, must have a
little of the rakeoff on the little
transaction. Indeed, unless man
went into it largely it was poor
investment. 1t was necessary to
obtain the sanctions of the Indians
who held the money.
There were two or three thousand
people on the ground in the woods
which ! visited. The town all built

it went on, and has been going on,
and will 60 on, until the six or seven
million dollars are paid out. 1t will
not be all spent now, and this sec
ton of the country will feel the
beneficial effects for years to come.

Average Rate Of Duty.

Free traders lose no opportunity to

they are not high. An exact statement
