r1R. MCCLEARY AND THE u. S.
SENATOR SHIP

Congressman McCleary whose name
has been frequently mentioned of late
in connection with the United States
senatorship, submitted to a brief in
terview in the FREE PRESS this morn
ing, and his attitude on the senatorial
question is given soTplainly as to set
at rest all speculation so far as he is
concerned. Mr.. McCleary says that
the height of his ambition is to so
serve the people of the Second district
and the state at large as to merit the
high compliment paid him in the
overwhelming vote which he received
on the 9th inst, and that his abilities
will be directed in the right path and
to good purpose we have ample proof.
No one will gainsay the fact that
Congressman McCleary would make a
most admirable senator, and his
friends hope the time is not very far
distant when he may be called to that
high station. But that time has not
yet arrived. He will be able, with a
Republican house, to serve his con-
stituency in the position to which he
has been chosen, far better at this
time than any one else in the district,
and he is more than content to do so.
Besides this, our congressman is not
going to permit his head to be turned
by the ialluring attitude of some of
the -Washburn papers who
are busy making senators. He
takes the high and honorable ground
that the representatives of the people,
chosen to make our law, are the ones
who must select the Senator accord
ing to the dictates of their own best

BOB'S ERRATA.
What Hiss Taylor Last Night rlade
of Them.

OF Them.
Miss Taylor, the well-known lee
turer, addressed the Normal Literary
Society last evening on "The Mistakes
of Ingersoll."
She said Ingersoll is not the man to
civilize the American people, as he
intends to do, and that his writings
are entirely unphilosophical.
Mr.. Ingersoll says he is going to
civilize the American people, but the
American people are well satisfied
with the teachings of the clergy.
She then criticised Ingersoll's lee
ture on "The Mistakes of Moses. "
Ingersoll says Moses never wrote the
Pentateuch. He is not well acquainted
with the Bible, or he would know
that the Pentateuch was written by
at least three different authors. Mr..
Ingersoll cannot see how the world
was made out of nothing. Here he
makes a great. mistake. The Bible
does not say the world was made out
of nothing. The clergy gives the
Bible for authority; Mr.. Ingersoll
gives simply Robert Ingersoll for his
authority.
Again, he misquotes the Bible when
he sees in his mind the Creator throw
ing large chunks of darkness to one
side and chunks of light to the other.
Ingersoll says: "And on Friday
God made the fish, How does Inger-
soil know that the fifth day was our
Friday? Again he says: "God never
made man in His own image" How
does he know this? Shall we believe
the Bible or Ingersoll? Ingersoll
makes mistake in choosing the
sacred writings for the theme of his
ridicule, and he has failed to find a
single mistake in the Pentateuch.
1t was as a whole an able address,
well delivered Miss Taylor has a
pleasing manner and captures her au-
dience at the start. She is thor
oughly acquainted with her subject
and hands Mr.. Ingersoll without
gloves, showing that he depends more
largely upon his imagination than
fcats in his discourses upon the Bible.

PLOOG ACQUITTED.
The Jury Was Out Only Fiji
teen Minutes.
Testimony in German Through an
interpreter Attorney Plymat's
able Defence on Poor Material =
Mr.. Geddes Fights Hard for Con-
VictiOn.

The case of Anna Stahl VS.. Gustave
Ploog, for using profane and indecent
language in her presence, which was
on trial yesterday afternoon was given
to the jury at about s p. m. last night.
The jury was out fifteen minutes and
returned verdict of not guilty.
Considerable irrelevant testimony
was introduced both on the witness
stand and in rebuttal. Two OF the
witnesses gave testimony in German
which was afterwards recorded
through an interpreter.
Witness claimed that Ploog gener-
ally spoke the German language but
on this particular occasion he called
her vile names in very good Eng
lish. Attorney Geddes appeared for
the prosecution and William Plymat
for the defence.

Mr.. Haynes stated that the Twin
City newspapers were agitating the
matter of city charters, which will
come before the legislature this win
ter, and he wanted to see Mankato
begin early in the game.
Alderman Petersen was in favor
of it.
City Attorney Young said the same
matter had been talked up last win
ter, but the cities were fighting SO
hard that everything else was lost
sight of.
Alderman Higgs wanted MankatO
to work up an alliance with neighbor-
ing cities of this size, joint commit
tee formed to formulate charter
suited to towns of equal population,
and the matter be carried before the
Legislature in proper form. Such a
bill, he thought, would stand good
show of passing. No general charter
could be made that would be salts
factory to all.
Alderman Pitcher moved that a
committee of three be appointed to
investigate the matter.
"Any expense attached to it?''
asked Alderman Fowler.
"Think there u.s." somebody said.
"Don't see any sense to it then" re-
piled Mr.. Fowler.

THE REASON WHY.

Captain Hugh ]. Walters, OF Mobile,
said to reporter in Washington on Fri
day:
There was a time. and that not so
long ago, when the name of David B.
Hill was one TO conjure with in every
section Of the South. Democrats all over
the Southland sung his praise. and the
common talk was that he would be the
ideal nominee of the party for the Presi-
dency. The day Of Hill alteration IN the
South is ended. 1t seems now TO his for
mer worshippers like a bad dream when
ever they hear his name mentioned. First
Mr.. Hill disappointed thousands who be-
lieved him friend to silver. The dis
illusion Is complete now that he is be-
lieyed to be cooperating with the enc
mics Of tariff reform.
ITO go against silver was bad enough.
but when the Senator apparently re-
nounces one Of the cardinal principles
of the party IL destroys forever all his
chances of occupying the White House.
for without the 1856 votes Of the solid
South, no Democrat can be President"
We rather think Captain Walters is
right in believing that Mr.. Hill is quite
dead in the South as a Presidential posi-
bnity But we are not sure it is be-
cause the people Of the South think he
has gone back on silver. They are not
thoroughly persuaded that that is a fact;
nor is his loss of consideration there due
TO anticipation Of what his position on
the tariff will be.
Mr.. Hill has played out at the South
because he has been found out to be a
machine politician. and nothing more.
The South has her own machine politi-
clans, and they manage to swim along
smoothly enough for a time, but they
are always found out after a while, and
then the people of the South throw them
aside. as they have done with Mr.. Hin.
The machine politician always plays
out at the South when he is found out.
and that is the reason the South has had
enough of Mr.. Hill.

We despair Of bringing matters back 70

shall have to content ourselves with
system Of state banks supervised by the
United states. even II we get that. but II
is in respect TO the degree OF THIS super
vision that we offer Mr. Cleveland
word of advice.
II is perfectly true that the bottom OF
the cry for free silver in the South Is
demand for more money. 1t is not silver
that the South wants. but medium ior
doing business. The national banks, from
their nature. establish themselves at the
commercial centres only. Their managers
are not acquainted with the great body
of the people residing throughout the
country. and they viii not, therefore
rive them banking accommodations
What these people really need Is bank
Ing system that will open banks in all
directions amongst them, the managers
~ which will know the people who ask
FOR accommodations. II is not money or
currency that they need Enough they
think II isl so much as it is convenient
money exchanges. But these are unable
TO establish themselves. from the coun-
trymans propensity TO carry money IN
pocket rather than to have a bank ac-
count. unless they are permitted TO issue
their notes. If. then, Mr.. Cleveland
recommends q banking system that is
going to put such restrictions upon the
issue OF notes by State banks as viii
make countrymen unable to comply with
them. his work will be all thrown away.
But just in proportion as he is able to
swing Congress around to the true doc
trine Of the Constitution, that notes is
sued by State banks are TO be issued
under the restrictions only which the
State creating the bank imposes he will
be doing great service to his country and
will be destroying the dangerous mania
in the South for free coinage.
