This claim, Mr.. Bryan says, is con-

but Mr.. Harrison was elected in 1883
The Republican victory OF 1888 was
followed by the Democratic victory OF
1890, and the election of President

The problem of breaking up the
unlawful industrial organizations
known as trusts will give the au-
thor1ties much trouble. The
problem is a comparatively new
one, and it is not easy to say juat
where legitimate cooperation and
organization ends and detrimental
combination begins. The wire
nail ,trust certainly forced the
prices much too high, but the
final result was that the high
prices continually increased the
competition, and the trust was
finally unable to buy up all com.
petitors, and had to 60 to pieces.
But fora long time the people
were forced to pay much more for
nails than the real cost of manu-.
facture would warrant. While
anti. laws have been passed
by congress, they have not yet
been applied so as to seriously in.
terfere with-the organization and
operation Of trusts.

/, A few prominent men. of the
state were present at a recent
meeting of the St. Paul Chamber
Of Commerce, and expressed their
views on public questions. The
following is from the report of the
meeting in the Dispatch:
Congressman Nc Cleary said he
did not unreservedly favor the
currency commission. He dis.
liked the idea of government by
commission, and disliked the idea
of having the president appoint q
commission to settle the, currency
question. The recommendations
Of that body would have. to run
the gauntlet OF congress, and either
the members or the president who
had appointed them might feel
offended if they were not adopted.
Turning to another phase Of the
currency problem, McCleary said
that banks Of issue should always
be under government control. They
should be national banks. Then
came the question as to the foun.
dation upon which they shall exist.
They cannot always find basis
upon bonds. These bonds are a
relic Of little unpleasantness
which occurred q generation ago,
and will be paid. Some other
basis must be found, and that was
: question which might well be
considered by organizations like
the chamber Of commerce. 8

The St. Paul Dispatch Washing.
ton co, respondent, says:
''Itis expected that the Mime
sofa delegation will make strong
pull to secure for Congressman
Page Morris the place on rivers
and harbors made vacant by
'Towne's defeat. 1t is possible,
however, that Mr.. McCleary may
desire the position. He was an
aspirant for it at the hands Of
|6p.aker Reed during the last
session, and his services to the
party and for the cause Of sound
money may have some effect on
the speaker if McCleary makes a
play for The place. But it is quite
probable that the matter will be
adjusted so that Morris will be
named. Towne did good work for
Duluth on the committee. What
valuable man he might have been
for his constituency and for the
state, had he not strayed into the
popnlist fold and wandered after
silver idols.

mates 'the amount for which the same shall be
allowed, that portion OF the section which re-
quires the printing expert to "examine and re-
port to the board all accounts Tor printing

been rendered imperative.
1t, therefore, follows that the only duties
which the printing expert is now authorized
10 perform are: ITO examine and report TO the
board all accounts for printing presented by
the State Print ter or any other person, specify

workmanlike manner or not, and the amount
for which the ssue should be allowed" and

which permits the superintendent OF State
printing to procure work from ''any other per-
SOM is that found in section $50 of the Politi-

Kic0LLETTI NOT PROSECUTED.
By the Dismissal of the Hender,s Case
His Popuiistic Friends Are
SIenced.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 19.-Long
before the Police Court opened this morn
ing groups of men wearing long whiskers
and Bryan buttons stood in the corridor
and discussed politics. When Policeman
Mike Flynn arrived he demanded their
business and to a man they replied: 1--WE
are here to defend Stephen Nicolletti."
Nicolletti is the Populistic martyr of
Los Angeles who was arrested Saturday
for obstructing the street with push cart
containing free silver literature of his
own manufacture, warranted to extermi-
nate the gold-bug pest now raging in the
East. When Prosecutor Pugh unrolled his
desk this morning Flynn approached on
tip-toe and asked him to take peep in
the courtroom. Mr.. Pugh looked through
the door and beheld row after row of
bearded men, apparently, from their secre-
tive actions, conspiring with each other.
'The silver min, Pugh," said Flynn. "here
to defind the Eyetaliyun Nickerletty."
But, alas. for the eloquence of the hirsute
howlers, Nicolletti has yet to pose before
the public as the new monetary Messiah,
and Pugh, prosecutor, did it all with an
insignificant little stamp in his office
marked ''Nolle PROSE- quiz The Populists
swear that he nolle pressed the case so
they could not make speeches.
