HEBREWS A PATRIOTIC PEOPLE.

American Jews Have Served the
Country Well I'm Times of Danger.
New York Mail and Express.
A book on THE American Jew as
Patriot, Soldier and Citizen has late
ly been published by the Levytype
company, of Philadelphia The author
is Simon Wolf, who has served for
years as recorder in the District Of
Columbia, where he is leading law
yer, and has also been United States
minister to Egypt Mr. VOLTS object
In this book Is to emphasize the fact
that American citizens of Jewish faith
have been-as public-spirited as their
Christian contemporaries and If any
doubt existed before the publication
OF his work it is not likely to continue
long In the minds Of its readers, for
its verified historical data give I'M
den1able proof. that from the days Of
the revolution down to the present
hour at every stage of our history
the Jew has contributed his Drawn
and brain, his influence and his means
to the support and the development
of the state; that he has in peace and
in war borne his share of responsible
ty; that he is a moral, laW-abiding
peaceful citizen, and that on the tented
field he Is brave, courageous, heroic
soldier. His military record, as only
partially examined by Mr.. Wolf, fur

loaned Robert Morris, the secretary Of
the treasury, 100000, a fabulous sum
Tor that time, which grateful republic
has never repaid. Mr.. Wolf has en-
tirely accomplished the object at which
he aimed, which was to convince. by
a simple statement Of facts. that his
countrymen were and are good citi-
zens, and, being q man Of sense. he
claims no credit for his race or creed
for their civic virtues and military

done no more than common duty-one

Theatsr Comique. which for several years
past has been the resort of the lowest classes
of society in the city, was last evening dedi-
Gated to the work Of saving souls, instead of
indecent plays and lewd songs which have
made the place famous to seekers after that
sort Of entertainment in the past, the sound
OF tambourine and drum, and the earnest
prayers and Hallelujafs of devoted men and
women will in the future give character to
the place. The Salvation Army are now in
possession. and the scheme to make an army
barracks of the place is generally regarded
as one Of the best moves in the interests of
morality ever made by religious organiza-
ton in Minneapolis.
The theater was dedicated last evening
with great enthusiasm. 1t was filled be-
low the second gallery with an audience of
intelligent Christian people, composed largely
OF members of the various churches of the
city. Back of the stage and rising one seat
above another were seated the members of
the Salvation army, numbering not less than
300 men and women. In all there were per
haps 600 people present
Maj Edward Clifford, of the Minnesota and
Dakota division, was in charge of the meet
ing, the programme for which consisted of
addresses, musical selections on violin and
piano and several well-rendered songs.

received Mysterious Gashes.

John Meberg we'll known to the police for
bis many misdemeanors, took an active part
IN a mysterious cutting affray yesterday, in
which he was the recipient of many ugly
slashes about the head. A little after Ii
o'clock in the morning he entered w. K.
Hicks drug store on Franklin avenue with
the blood streaming down his face from cuts
that were undoubtedly inflicted with knife.
His head was bandaged up and the patrol
wagon sent for to convey him to the city
hospital. But as soon as Moberg saw the
patrol wagon waiting for him be thought of
other days, and took to his heels down Frank
lin, and has since not been heard from.
There were some rumors among the people
exit that he had had trouble with some
women on Washington avenue, but nothing
more could be learned in regard to the affair.

John Lind's canvass of the Seventh dis
trict was not satisfactory to the Populists
who were not pleased with his presentation
of the silver issue, and his willingness to adj
NIT the strength of the opposition. In fact
he did not keep the middle of the road and
was much too reasonable to suit the mass of
the Populists.-Wadena Journal
In most Of his speeches John Lind takes
pains to deny that he is neither a Democrat
or Populist. No one ever suspected him
Of being Democrat, thought 1t possible
for him to become one--Wabasha Democrat
Well, If he says he is not a Pop, he ought
to know; but If we found a chap in our hen

News-Ledger.
, The editor has been in points In the Second
congressional district, Duluth and the Twin
Cities. and from all reliable information
finds that there is no question but that John
Lind will be elected governor by a handsome
majority. Especially is the sentiment against
Clough strong in Minneapolis. 1t is safe to
say that Minnesota will be on the side of sill
yer in the election.-Sleepy Eye Herald
AS the campaign progresses 1t becomes
more and more apparent that John Lind will
be the next governor Of Minnesota. We have

ELECTION JUDGES NAMED.
Sound Money Democrats Shut Out

The strong attraction was the announcement
that the council would appoint election judges
for the different voting districts of the city
to serve during the forthcoming election, and
the visitors were intensely interested as to
the outcome.
In introducing the matter of selecting cleo
ton judges, City Clerk Haney- stated that
lists of judges had been received from the
city committees of the Republican, Demo-
cratic and Populist parties, the same being
properly signed and certified to by the sec
retaries of the different committees.
