MINKAKWA ROW.
Bulldozing ON Account of an KB-
dependent Constable Candidate.

Bu1ld0Zing on Account of an I'm.
dependent Constable Candidate.
Two members of the Minkakwa Club
went out looking for trouble on Saturday
evening They visited Clarke's Hotel,
where few members of the Greenville
League Club are Usually to be found
There the Minks began their notorious
bull-dozing tactics by demanding to know.
what the Leaguers meant by permitting
one of their numbers to run for constable
on an Independent ticket. AS if the
Leaguers could help that. or could be
expected to try to prevent it under the
circumstances The Leaguers explained
to the Minks that if was no affair of
theirs. For a while things looked
serious, but finally the trouble-seekers de-
parted without coming to hand-to-hand
encounter.
The original cause of the trouble lay in
the turning down of Charles l.. Bennett,
the League Clubs candidate for consta-
convention of the Seventh ward Repub-
licans. An unknown named Smith was
trotted out by the Minkakwa Club and
given the. nomination. All the League
to be NOMINATED. This they were refused,
although they are numerically within
some ninety odd votes as strong as the
grab-all Minks. They were very sore
and a very few talked of bolting to the
Democracy, but the club as a body did
not encourage the bolt. Finally Bennett
decided to run on an independent ticket
Mr.. Bennett is known to be a public
spirited man who does not let party lines
stand in the way Of his IDEAS of right and
wrong. In recognition of this fact the
Democrats of tne Seventh ward will not
nominate any one to run against him; but
will also nom nate Mr.. Bennett Thus Mr..
Bennett stands an excellent chance of
winning. 1t was not thought likely the
Minkakwas would quarrel over so small
d matter rs a Republican running for
constable on an independent ticket But
they are pushed to great lengths at this
election, which really promises to be
their Waterloo With such men as
Messrs Barr and Gotthardts running for
Aldermen in the ward they realize that
their chances in this former Republican
stronghold are very slim. Hence the
sortie of Saturday night.
Tonight the Minks will trot out their
final scheme for catching stray votes. They
will give a so-called smoker where men
may smoke if they will. Candidates will
speak, and one or two members will try
to hypnotic the audience into the belief
that they are voca1ists of ability. Other
wise there will be littieto interest those
present. OF course ike Goldenhorn viii
speak, so will Jimmy Erwin, but thev
have spoken so often at Minkakwa affairs
that they will probably drive the chestnut
vender down the street out of business.

short meeting on Saturday evening, but

Free Mail Delivery.

The last session Of congress made an
appropriation for the purpose of trying
the experiment of establishing a rural
or country free mail delivery. The
experiment will be tried in one Office
in one county IN each state, and but
one Office in the county will be tried.
In this state Dakota county has been
selected. Mr.. Ralph Bird, post office
inspector, OF Milwaukee. was in the
city recently looking up the matter.
He hassdecided upon Pennington to
try the experiment., as it is located
where the country roads are in lg0od
condition and run conveniently in
all directions, and where the principal
mails arrive early in the day. The
work Of delivery from farmhouse to
farmhouse will be done by carrier in
any way he may choose as long as he
makes the number of trips required.
Mr.. Bird visited Pennington to look
over that part of the country. II these
experiments prove successful it will
only be a matter of a few years before
this system will be considerably ex-
tended and finally cover the whole
cuuntry.-Hastings Gazette.

The Crime of '73.

u. Laurence Laughlin in November Atlantic.)
When the bubble burst in 1873, buSi-
ness disasters were not confined to the
farming class. Expansion of trade,
inflated prices, airy ventures Of all
kinds collapsed, and brought down
men OF affairs in every occupation
with pitiless impartiality. The farm
er, having entered into engagements
for large sums when all the world was
booming with speculative schemes Of
development, suddenly found himself
prone on the ground, with his flying
machine lying splintered and ruined
beside him. But in this fate he found
himself in company with men engaged
In all branches of manufacture and
trade. 1t is in such a soil. composed
Of the debris Of speculation and over
trading, that crop of weedy delus-
ions grows. 1t is commonly known
that the years succeeding panic are
the ones in which quack remedies for
industrial distress find many gullible
victims. Unframed in economic rea-
soning,, inexperienced in industrial
history, untaught in penetrating into
the causes Of commercial phenomena,
the under educated man is the prey
to the first nostrum that happens to
be offered to him. His distress pinches.
How easy to believe the dogmatic
assertion that the cause of his distress
is the "scarcity of money!! Why not?
He knows precious little about the
principles of money. Why should it
not be that, as we'll as something else

NEW APPORTIONMENT BILL.

10 Come Before the Legislature.
The coming legislature will have an
apportionment bill towrestle with says
the st. Paul Dispatch, and it will be q
red hot fight too, if the southern coun-
ties care to enter into it. Il they do
not, there will be no fight at all. Ev-
cry one familiar with the situation
kagrees that the state needs reap-
portionment. All are alike agreed
that both branches of the legislature
are now large enough. There are 81
senators and ia representatives
That is all that can be accommodated
in the capitol, and it is as many as
tax payers of the state care to have on
the salary list at one time
There is only one way in which the
apportionment can be brought about
then. The southern counties will
have to give up some of their own
representation.
They could do it easily enough and;
still be much better off than the north
ern counties, but they won't, at least
not without fight.
Four years ago they allowed an ap-
portionment bill to run its course and
had all kinds OF fun with it.
Then when they tired of the SPORT
the southern mem bers simply jumped
on it altogether, and crushed the life
out it. That is what they ,are likely.
to do this winter, unless the northern
members can conciliate them in some
