the last reunion Of the Third regiment
in 1895, Albert Berg was made an hon
orary member Of the association, an
honor he esteems greater than that OF
membership in any of the other nu-
Eerous societies to which he belongs.
Secretary Berg was born of Swedish
parents, June 25, 1861, at Center CITY.
MINI, and is now thirty-five years old.
His parents were among the early
SWedlsh settlers, coming here in 1859.
Leaving the common schools, he spent
the years 1867 at Carleton college.
Northheld, and then studied for three
years at the Gustavus Adolphus COL
lege at st. Peter. During the next
four years he was employed by Maj.
Edwards on the Fargo Argus, doing
political work in the Northwestern
states. In 1886 he was elected regis
ter OF deeds for Chisago county, and
was reelected in 1SSS-99, serving for
eight years. An expert in official work.
ana possessing remarkably retentive
memory, he could give without refer
ence to the records an abstract of
nearly all the land titles in his county.
Thls experience ripaned him for tho
duties OF secretary of state, which he
has 50 ably perform, ed
IN 1892 he was a delegate from this
State to the national Republican con-
vention. and the same year he was q
formidable candidate for the position
which came to him two years later.
The best work of Mr.. Berg during his
present term of Office was the state
census Of June l, 1895. With an appro,
priation far too limited, he succeeded
IN giving the state the best, most COM
pete and comprehensive census yet
produced, and which has attracted
favorable comment at home and
abroad. Mr.. Eerg is Il member Of the
Lutheran church. belongs to the fra
ternity of Masons, Elks, knights of
l'ythias, and other societies; and not
the least of his talents is comprised in
vocal music, for which he has a mag
nlficent voice, highly-cultured, and ne
religious, social OF political gathering
at which Albert Berg is present is
complete in entertainment until his
mastery vocalization has been heard.

WAGES SINCE THE "CRIME."
Statistics Showing the Increase in
Wages Since 1879.


Wages Since 1879.
The country resumed specie pay
ments upon a gold basis on Jan. 1,
1879, and it has ever since maintained
them. We appeal to the individual ex-
perience of our readers to decide
whether, since 1879, wages and salar-
les have not risen, and whether it is
any harder to get them paid now than
it was then. Speaking for the Sun, we
assert with pleasure that we are now
paying higher wages and higher sal
aries than we were in 1879, and are
employing more men. AS to other en-
ployers we will let statistics tell the
story.
According to the census of 1880, the
year after the gold standard had be-
come supreme, the number Of employees
in manufacturing establishments that
year was 1882, 595, and the aggregated
wages paid them was $947 1853, 795, or
an average Of 1924 each. In 1890 the
number Of employees was 4,712,622
their aggregate earning were $685.
1929, and the average earned by
each was $4SS. Here was an increase
of nearly one-half under a standard
which Mr.. Bryan says 'both lessons
the amount and threatens the perma-
nence" Of the rewards of labor
Since the census of 1890, a commit
tee of the senate of the United States
of which Senator Aldrich was chair
man, reported in 1894 upon the subject
Of wages and prices, that in twenty
one selected industries wages were in
money 40 per cent higher in 1880 than
they were in 1860, and GO per cent
higher in 1891 than they were in 1860.
while the prices of staple articles had
fallen between 1880 and 1890 in some
instances one-third.-New York Sun.

AUGUST II. KOERNER.
Republican Candidate for Stat
Treasurer.

August Koerner, the Republican can
didate for state treasurer, was born in
Germany July Z, 1913, and emigrated
to this country when fourteen years
of age. He lived with his sister in
Missouri until 1860, when he went to
Vernon, Ind, to learn the milling bust
ness. The war of the rebellion fired
the ardor Of the eighteen-year-old Ger
man LAD, resulting in his enlistment in
the Sixth Indiana and re-enlisted in the
TWenty-siXth Indiana volunteer in
fantry. His service for the stars and
stripes covered a period of four years
and three months, during which he was
in seventeen battles, including the
siege Of Vicksburg, and received 4
wound in the left arm from a minnie
ball at the battle of Prairie Grove
After the close of the war he went
to Troy, ILL.,, and engaged in book
keeping. In 1865 he made a trip to
Minnesota, where he was married to
Miss Katie McGannon; in 1867 he
moved to Minnesota, and settled on a
farm in Meeker county, but after los
ing three successive crops by hail and
grasshoppers he abandoned farming
and engaged in clerical work in Litch-
field. In 1877 he was elected register
Of deeds, a position which he occupied
for three successive terms, each time
by an increased majority. In 1890 he
was appointed postmaster at Litchfeld,
which position he resigned to accept
a seat in the 1898 legislature, to which
he was elected by handsome plural
ity in one of the most determined polit-
zeal contests ever known in~the coun-
ty. He was a member Of the Repub-
lican state central committee for a
number Of years, from which he re-
signed when he became candidate
for state treasurer. His faithful and
efficient service in these various posi-
tons, and his recognized integrity and
ability resulted in the warm support
which made him the nominee for state
treasurer; in 1894, securing his election
by the largest vote, with one exception,
given any state officer.
Mr.. Koerner's administration of the
treasurer's Office during the past two
years has been such as to win the
hearty appreciation of all classes of
business men, without distinction of
party. He has faithfully and intelli-
gently served the best interests Of the
state and people, with Partially to
none, allowing no personal friendships
or prejudices to sWerve him from a
thorough administration Of the states
finances upon the strictest business
principles. Though his first term of
Office has included the financial strin-
gency that caused several banking in
situations to close their doors, the
states interests therein have been
managed with such ability as to in
sure it's treasury against loss, and all
investments have been made with the
caution and prudence that can only
be achieved by close personal attention.

Republican convention for reelection

L...the He..h.n Rage,

An Omaha dispatch Of The Is says;
The World Herald, Hon. w. j. Bryan's
personal organ, of which he is the ed
itor, tonight says editorially under
the heading @Let the Heather Rage:
With the exception Of the New York
Journal, the Mercury and the New
York News the Democratic press Of
New York bolts the Democratic ticket.
It is followed by various large and
small papers in the other towns OF
New York and New England. Pos
siply these Eastern newspapers may
imagine that their action Is of large
political Importance and significance.
They are in error. A President of the
United States can ce elected this year
without the aid or consent of the
Eastern States, which have in part
dictated the nominations and sway
ed the elections every time. Every
time a gold bug Democrat goes
to Mckinley in New York he paves
the way for two silver Republicans to
come 10 Bryan in the West. Every
time a silver Democratic paper in
New York repudiates the Democratic
platform it renders more certain the
reputation Of the Republican gold
platform among the thousands Of Re-
%publicans in the Middle and Western
States. New York gold bug papers
are practically impotent. Their
efforts to mjure silver in New York
makes votes for silver in the doubtful
States. If New York gold bug
Democrat a abandon party lines to
%injure, silver then certainly Western
silver Republicans can leave the party
to help silver. 1t happens that we
need votes in some Western States
and their loss IN New York will do US
no harm. Let the heather rage.

The Bond investigation.

WASHINGTON. July 16. - Senator
Harris, Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee to investigate the bond issue,
says he has not determined whether
the committee will wait until Fall be-
fore going ON with the investigation,
or will complete work, frame a report
and make it public this summer. The
last meeting adjourned subject to the
call Of the chairman.
Senator Harris says conditions may
arise incident to the campaign that
would make it desirable to present all
the facts to the public at once. In
doing this, he added, the only purpose
would be to clear up the doubts and
unfounded charges growing out of
the results arising from the national
contest, without reference to whom it
would benefit or injure.

There is more Catarrh in this sec-
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, aud therefore
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F.J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

Gold Bug Patriotism.

NoIu bug fhtr1OclSfh.
II the news telegraphed from New
York and Washington on Tuesday be
correct, there is a conspiracy among
some OF the wealthy b-nking syndi-
Gates OF this country to make a deter
mined attack on the gold reserve I'D
the Treasury of the United States,
with the HOPE of temporarily injuring
the Nations credit abroad and thus
frightening timid advocates of silver
into the gold camp.
The American citizen, enjoying the
liberties and privileges guaranteed
him by the Constitution. whom or
der to preserve to his class, the
wealthy credit holders, a continuance
of the illegitimate profits wrung from
the debtor class by the demonetiza-
ton of silver and the policy of the
Cleveland Administration-will de-
liberately plot to irjure his Nations
credit is as black a traitor as he who,
in time of war, will shoot upon the
flag that protects him; and he de-
serves similar punishment.
When will the powerful syndicates,
that demand the continued enslave-
ment Of silver for their own gain learn
to read the handwriting on the wall.
Up to, and even. after, the Republican
National Convention, they declined to
believe that the silver sentiment had
any strong following save in the So
called Silver States. The wave that
followed behind Teller's speech Of
withdrawal from =. the Republican
Party, gathering fresh strength from
every threat of a millionaire banker,
and from every plausible appeal Of an
Administration gold-bug, forced the
gold leaders before the Democratic
National Convention, to concede that
the cry for silver had become one Of
the popular fads of an u~nreasoning
majority. They still assume that it's
advocates lack both the intelligence
which natures u profound conviction
and the courage which will stand by
that conviction. They believe appar-
emily that by traitorously threatening
the credit OF the Nation they can kill
the silver movement and seat gold
firmly on a permanent throne in
November, with the silver of the
people for all time shackled as it's
slave.
When will the gold men learn that
the people of this country are, in
earnest on this question, and that no
cajoiery, no threats and no traitorous
firing upon the flag will force them
to abandon the cause of silver. If the
Nations credit be injured by this Of
fort let the blame rest with those who
conspired to accomplish the result,
and let the punishment fit the crime ,
No such result, however, as injury to
the National credit from an attack of
this kind can ensue in q country
whose people but a few months back
offered to take at from 10 to Is per
cent. premium, small interest bearing
bonds to the exteut of seven hundred
millions of dollars, when notified that
