HENRY WATTERsoN, journalist,

reception by the St. Paul Press
Club last Sunday night, at which
many of the leading Democratic
politicians of the city were present,
and among them were Hon. P. H.
Kelly and Chairman McCutcheon
Of the Democratic State Central
committee. The Dispatch gave an
extended report of the speeches
from which the following gems are
culled:

SUITS have been commenced in
the district court Of Ramsey county
to recover for pine timber stolen
outright from school lands or OBJ
tanned through the connivance or
criminal negligence of State Of
ficers. OF course, the thieves and
their defenders will attribute the
prosecutions to political motives,
but the writer, Of his own personal
knowledge, knows that the COM
mittee of which Senator Donnelly
is chairman has secured indisputa-
BILE evidence of gigantic frauds
whereby the school children of the
State have been robbed of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. We
sincerely hope the thieves will be
forced to disgorge. Let there be
no white washing of corrupt State
officials be they Republicans, Dem
ocrats or half breeds.

SAMUEL G. LEE, a prominent
business man of Long Prairie, and
brother of Hon. VIM. E. Lee, died
in Chicago last Friday. He had
been suffering from Bright's dis

put himself under treatment of a
famous specialist. The deceased
was a bright business man, and in
his death Long Prairie loses one Of
it's most philosophical citizens.

MINNEAPOLIS J0m7a0l: The
former Indian affiliations of the
late Hon. H. M. Rice are cropping
out to trouble his family. Several
of the pioneers had families of In

found to be embarrassing. To
persons who lived in this State IN
the early days the story of the late

New YORK Sma Dem.): The
Wilson bill is not a Democratic
measure. From top to bottom it
outrages Democratic convictions
and betrays the Democratic pledge.
To support it is to forfeit the title
to the name of Democrat. To
spurn it is to deserve that glorious
title. The iniquity of it's discrim-
mating and class taxation is COM
munistic not Democratic. 1t is a
scheme Of Legislation against which
the whole history of the Demo-
cratic party is arrayed; against
which every vital principle of the
Democratic party makes war. II
fouts the American constitution
and subverts the political principle
of the republic. It is rotten in its
foundation and in its whole struct
ure. There is not a Democratic
stone in the monstrous edifce.

ST.. PAUL Z}ade-Joe11mal: One
of the funniest things Of the day is
the attempt of certain New York
dailies to glorify the capitalists
who we're willing to invest in the
new United States bonds, and dis
played their ''patriotism' thereby.
The humor of the average New
York journalist is peculiar some
times, but in this instance is so
original and striking that it will
meet with general recognition all
over the United States. In view
of the fact that the panic of 1898
started first in the demand for the
issue of from $200,0o0,O0O to
$500, 100000 of such bonds, first
voiced by New York through these
same papers, and so advocated and
discussed with every degree Of de-
mandatory, pessimistic and nina.
tory insistence, that the whole
country lost it's nerve, it would
seem that E'patriotism'' of these in
vestors, who are too rich, too lazy
and too cowardly to take the
chances Of ordinary and Industrial
investments, consists in being
willing to take only $4,000, 900
when they wanted from four to 81,
times that amount. The piety O.
lPecksnif and the fidelity Of Judas
with the patriotism" of the New
York millionaires, would be gooe
subjects for collateral illustration
of this newest development o
purely Gothamite wit and humor

CONGRESSIONAL ''cuckoos'' may
white-wash President Cleveland,
but the ablest and most influential
Democratic journals of the north
such as the New York Saq1, the
Herald and the World, the Chi
cago Times and the Herald and the
Cincinnati Eaqe1ire,'-are unspar-
ing in their criticism of his bull
headed and un-American Hawaiian
policy. Here is scathing denun-
citation by the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Why does he still ''foul his own nest"
endeavoring to dragoon the house Of
representatives into branding his coun-
try as guilty of peridy and outrage?
What is behind this tunaccountable
perversity of the president? Is he so
Inundated by the facts that he would
rather continue in the wrong than to
admit that he has been mistaken? Is
he cOnfOundlng Obstlnacy-a quality In
which every, mule can at least equal
him-with that noble quality of the
will which finds it's loftiest exercise ir
self control and the ready correction Of
errors? Has the rage of controversy
blinded his reason2 Or is his Republi
can secretary of state using him to ge
even with his rival for the Republican
nomination for president in 1888? O.
| is Claus Spreckles longing for the re
sumption of the financial control O

under the monarchy? Or is tn
Louisiana Lottery company hoping TO
a restoration of the queen in order tina
it's privileges may be renewed?

W ASHINGTON LETTER.
From the Unions Special Correspondent.

From the Unions Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12.-
The senate finance committee
has been trying to make the Will
son tariff bill pass muster in the
upper house. They have been
trying to make it suit the senators
whose votes are necessary to carry
it through. It is possible that
they Will be adj lie to get it in form
to suit the senatorial taste. There
is no denying that the way the
bill went through the house has
convinced the Democrats of the
senate that they must pass some
kind of bill. It is probable that
we shall have the tax restored to
sugar. Coal and iron will be
taxed and many other changes will
be made in the Wilson bill in
order to get it through the senate.
The income tax will remain in the
bill, and am glad Of it. If that
kind of a tax can be enforced it is
the most popular, and satisfactory
kind of tax. The government
needs the revenue, and why not
make men who are receiving over
|$4,00 a year bear a little more
than the other people? The best
kind of Il tax is that upon foreign
importations which affords both
revenue and protection, but we
cannot get that with the Demo-
Gratis IN power, so let us take the
| next best thing.
The fruits of the work of Sena-
tor Washburn as a member of the
commerce committee were seen
the other day when the sundry
7 civil appropriation bill was re-
ported, and it carried nearly g
| million dollars to improve the
= Mississippi river from Minneapo

TEACHERS CONTRACTS.-State Sup

cision of general interest to teachers
throughout the state. The question
involved was: eff a school board
orders school discontinued because of
the prevalence of a contagious dis
ease, are the teachers entitled to pay
for the time the school is closed"
The state superintendent decides that
they are, unless there was something
IN the contract of employment that
could be constructed as. reserving to
the directors the privilege of so closing
the schools. The decision will be OF
general interest. 1t was a case ap-
pea1ed from Cheha1is county.-O1ym-

The trial of Billy Jameson, for the
alleged theft of deeds of property
valued at about 5000, 900, from the

tracts of land in this state to the gov
