N. P. Cores was born in 1860 in Da-
kota county, from whence he comes
as representative. His education
was received in the public schools and
at st. Johns college. He has been a
farmer in years past, and is now a
merchant at New Trier The high
estimation in which he is held by his
home people is evidenced in the fact
that they made him mayor of the
town five years in succession. He
has been postmaster for ten years
In the legislature. he is a regular at
tendant, quiet and unobtrusive, but
observant and careful, prepared to
vote intelligently on all matters.
LIE Sueur county's Democratic rep
resentative, A. B. French, is a native
of Michigan, and is still on the sunny
side of the half-century mark. For
more than a score of years he has
been honored with local offices of one
kind or another, and has always dis
charged his official duties most salts
factorily. Personally. he is a pleasant
gentleman, and, like most of the
country members. he refrains from
active participation in debates; but
just the same he keeps closely in
touch with legislative work and is al
ways in his seat.
Taken altogether, Democracy need
not be in the least ashamed of the lit

colors in the Minnesota legislature.

and Stoutly maintains his views. While
having little of the orator about him,
in the popular sense, he is a pleasing
man to hear. He reasons closely, In
the good lawyers way, and was never
known to trim, dodge or whip about
like tattered sail in the wind. Early
experience in the avocation of the
schoolmaster has left a predisposition
to dogmatic declaration; and yet the
thing never goes so far but that the
observer is assured the rein of good
sense and matured thought is held
safely in hand. Senator McHale COM
mands attention from senators of all
parties, and is easily leader in the
upper branch. Born in York state
forty-eight years ago, he came to Min
nesota in 1874. In 1890 he was elected
to the state senate from Scott, which
county he was then serving as county
attorney.

menter in scientific fields, manufactur-

qualities to command the greatest
success. In those lines of effort he has
made decided advances; and success
has come to him in his political fights
thus far. Nevertheless, he sacrifices
his more substantial qualifications
when he mixes in the excitement of
political and legislative debate. The
mans very earnestness often leads
him to a point where his words lose
force by being crowded. Inward pres

himself the greatest sufferer This
handicap, which would kill an ordinary

sort of odds-and he will bet on his

BIG DAMAGE SUITS AGAINST THE

Illegal Arrests the Charge-Debs

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 13.-The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way company has. been served with
the summons in a suit to be brought
for heavy damages growing out of the
big strike of the American Railway
union, and the consequent arrest of
alleged ring leaders in this city. The
suits are being brought by two of the
men who were arrested last July on
complaint of E. w. McKenna, then as
sistant general superintendent of the
st. Eaul company and now connected
with the Great Northern. Although
the suit is brought by individuals, it
is probable that Eugene v. Debs and
the American Railway union are be-
hind it, and if it proves successful, SIM
liar suits promise to spring up all over
the big system of the st. Paul COM
pany.
The summons was served on the st.

suit is brought in behalf of John ].

WELD an influence that is not to be
despised.
In any body of men, no matter what
it's character or purpose, James Nc
Hale and Patrick H. Kelly would be
regarded as courageous leaders and
safe counselors. Both are fertile in
resource, tireless in fight, and possess
a solidity of character that commands
respect They easily secure attention
for what they have to say. The two
senatorial colleagues of Mr.. McHale,
Keller and Schaller, are valuable men,
of widely differing temperaments and
characteristics, as one views them In
the legislature. Keller is the older man
by ten years, and is serving his third
term as senator. Schaller is having his
first experience as a legislator, but he
possesses a finely trained mind and
is conservative to a degree. The Rose
bud from Stearns, when deeply inter-
ested, makes the ceiling ring; and, as
a worker, too, he is persistent and
indefatigable.
But let us take the twelve and pass
them before our readers in single file.
1t is thus we shall catch the clearer
idea of them and rub the closer
against their rough and smooth sides.
SENATORIAL TRIO.
One can easily imagine McHale in
the toga of a senator of Rome in her
noble days. Dignity sits naturally
upon him, and physically he looks the
role. To a mind naturally quick and
well-balanced he has given long-con-
tinued course of solid mental diet. To
imagine him reading trashy or
worthless book is as impossible as to
believe him the prey of lobbyists or
trifers. Seriousness is his distinguish
ing characteristic in debate; and ne
seldom or never relaxes his argument

The Changing Map of Trade.


There is no fixedness in commercial SUI
preInacy. 1t has come and gone from one
nation 70 another, and all down the
page OF history the bright and dark lines
have had their changing alterations. They
are changing now, and the shifting lines
are slowly shaping the destinies Of ma
tons, young and old. Rightly or wrongly,
by fair means or foul, the older nations
are pushing their conquests or colonies
wherever the opportunity offers to retain
their grip on commerce, by securing new
markets for their surplus products. Com
mercial necessity has replaced the old
lust of empire and is really the key to the
ayidity with which Europe IS dividing
Africa as hunters do their game, and is
casting Its eyes over continents and
oceans for commercial territory. In the
Western hemisphere the same impulse is
making itself felt with more or less of the
same reasons, and IS at the bottom OF
much of the idle but significant talk of an

of grabbing real estate. Taking this, how
