the exception of Congressman-ele
Heatwole, of the Third district, and
possibly Eddy, of the Seventh, the
Minnesota members of the next
house are in active opposition to
Senator-elect Nelson and the state
machine. Heatwole is the only one
who is willing to be set down as hav-
ing been favorable to the election of
the Alexandria statesman and

The Mortified man evidently does
not propose to lean very heavily on
the Twin Cities in the future, for
after taking this shot at Minneapo-
lis favorite he passed on to a dis
cussion of the new capitol at st.
Paul, and declared that he is op-
posed to it, and that he had given
orders to the manager of his paper,
the Mortified News, to pour hot
shot" into the st. Paul bill.
FORGETS PAST FAVORS.
This course seems strange on the
! part of Mr.. Heatwole, for the reason
that in his two campaigns ne has
! certainly been well treated by the
| leading Republicans of the Capital
! City. There is a rumor in circula-
ton to the effect that Mr.. Heatwole
will be a candidate for the Repub-
ican gubernatorial nomination, and
Will step out of the congressional
race early for that purpose. OF
! course he refuses to discuss this
proposition, but at the same time he
makes no secret Of the fact that the
| lower house of congress has no great
attraction for him, and his opposi-
| ton to the state capitol is evidently
J bid for country support in the
next convention. The fact that there
Will be multitude of candidates
| against Gov. Clough, in the opinion
of the Mortified statesman, makes
it anybody's race, in which his
chances will be as good as any ones
else. He knows that he can get no
delegates from the Republican ma
chimes in the Twin Cities, and so he
! will pay his attention to the country
| districts entirely.
THE DAUGHTERS CONVENTION
The Minnesota Chapter of the Daugh-
| tiers of the Revolution was ably rem
resented at the meeting of the nationai
convention just held in Washington.
! The delegates were Mrs. Joseph E. Nc
! Williams, Mrs. Butler and Miss Mary
Newport. the latter proxy for Mrs r.
! Nj. Newport, the state regent The
/ best evidence of the work of the dele
cation is shown in the election of Mrs.
John Quincy Adams a member of the
national board of the d. A r. The
election of Mrs. Adams was due to the
energy and tact OF Mrs. McWilliams.
| whose zeal and earneStneSS compelled
! recognition. The Minnesota daughters
! are to be congra tuIated on the show
/ ing they made here. Mrs. McWilliams
was an earnest supporter of Mrs. Hogg,
| of Pennsylvania, for president and did
! effective work in her behalf, but the
attitude of the Pennsylvania in the
| old contest between the 'Iineals" and
"collaterals' added to the attitude of
the New York and Connecticut dele
cations, which declared that if their
states could not secure the presidency
no other should, resulted in the choice
of Mrs. John w. Foster, of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
PREPARING FOR ANOTHER RAID.
Unless the new members of the next
congress decline to follow the old
leaders of the Republican party the ap-
preparations of the Fifty-fourth con-
gress will reach another "high-water
mark" When the Republicans found
themselves in power in the Fifty-first
congress they raised the appropria-
tions to a billion dollars, and by pro-
viding for continuing appropriations
for public Improvements and various
other purposes made it impossible for
the two succeeding Democratic con-
crosses to retrench very much. Now
that they are again to be given a
chance at the treasury there is every
indication that they will raise the
total at least % per cent and perhaps
more. Many bills calling for liberal
appropriations have been introduced
this session merely to prepare the
minds of the people and with no ex-
pectation of passing them. These will
come up next year and many of them
go through.
one of this description which covers
a gigantic real estate speculation and
by which the property holdings of at
least two United States senators are
to be made immensely more valuable
is bill lately introduced in the senate
by Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire. 1t is the old proposition for the
purchase Of about 100000 square feet
of ground at the head of Sixteenth
street and about a mile and a half
north of the White house for a new
residence for the president. Although
the land is not worth much over half
the amount, about So per square foot
is appropriated for the purchase. The
location is desirable one, although
really almost in the heart of the CITY.
but there is no good reason for the
expenditure, and it is simply huge
real estate deal with no end of govern
ment officials who will be benefited by
1t. Senator Sherman, of Ohio, owns.
it is said, about one-quarter of the
land described in the bill For this
ground alone nearly 81, 200, OCO is to be
appropriated.
TOWNE WAS ON THE FENCE.
In the late contest over the Alta
nonte bill the new congressman from
the Zenith City kept under cover. Dur
ing the campaign which resulted in
his election he promised Senator Allen,
of Cloquet, that he would oppose the
measure, and this promise he kept. in
part. He did not fight on either side.
although at one time the requests and
commands of his Duluth constituents
became so numerous and threatening
that he asked Senator Allen to release
him, which request that gentleman
promptly declined to grant At the
next session this measure will come
up again and Mr.. Towne hardly
