MCKINLEY AND HIS CABINET.

There is probably no matter OF more
interest to many people at the present
time, than that of specializing or
what kind of cabinet Major McKin'
lev will select. There is a general
feeling abroad that it will be cabinet
composed of the leading men of the
party, and there is much in evidence
to substantiate such belief. In re-
spect to it the Chicago Inter- Ocean
calls attention to his address on
Lincoln, delivered before the Mar
ouette club of that city, on the ami
versary of Lincoln's birth last Febru-
airy, in which he referred to Lincolns
cabinet, and incidentally stated that
Lincoln was great enough to want a
great cabinet, and he called about
him the great men OF the party, in
Guiding his rivals for the nomination.
In Mr.. McKlnley's remarks at that
time there was nothing to embarrass
him in the work he has now before
him, while his incidental reference at
that time reveals his idea as to what
a presidents cabinet should be. He re-
CARDS cabinet officers as important
adiuncts of an administration, as
close advisers of the president and
should therefore be great men. Major
Mckinley is man great enough not
to be dwarfed by cabinet of the
greatest men he may select. Like
Lincoln, he will be president, and
being a great man will not look upon
his cabinet officers as mere clerks, but
as great officers of the administration,
hence a place in his cabinet will be a
position of honor which any great
party leader might well be proud Of,
and it is not to be wondered at that
the newspapers correspondents have
turned their attention to the leading
men of the party in their speculation
as to whom the cabinet will consist
of. And it will be strange, indeed, il
the names of his cabinet officers are
not mentioned many times over in
their guesses, though they may not be
correctly assigned. Yet in spite of all
their guesses, and their quotations
from the ''prominent politician and
close friend of Mckinley who does
not want his name mentioned" there
is not the least probability that the
public will know anything definitely
as to who the cabinet members are
and the portfolios they are assigned tc
until Mr.. Mckinley makes them
public when he sends their names tC
the senate on the 5th of March next
In fact it will be strange if it's mem
bership is wholly settled upon before
he reaches Washington at Inaugural
tiOn time.

NORTH MANKATO INCORPORATl ON

There is considerable active senti-
ment in North Mankato at the pre-.
sent time in favor of organizing that
growing suburb into village. A. L.
Wheeler and others Of the heaviest
property owners are at the head OF
the movement and with those so ma
terially interested back of it, there
should be no trouble in perfecting an
organization. 1t would be wise steI
to take, and we expect to see pros
porous municipal corporation in full
swing there in the near future.

Wonderful Cures in Wisconsin.

DR.. Warner-Dear Sir: Last March
my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My oldest
daughters case became so alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but all to no pur-
pose. One of my neighbors recon-
mended your White Wine of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family com
menced taking it. In three days we
saw great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.

LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Front Street EnIivened this After
noon by Excited Horses.

At about quarter after three
o'clock Monday team of big
blacks belonging to Seymour Leavitt
of Rapidan, ran up Front street from
the First National bank corner,
dragging heavy stone hitching
weight behind it. A horse and buggy
belonging to A. A. Ref was stand
ing near G. d. Benack's store, and the
hitching stone scraped two of the
wheels, breaking several spokes and
swapping the strap by which it was
dragging. The wagon then struck a
farm wagon belonging to Mr.. Fresch-
oltz, in front of his mothers store,
and broke the reach. One Of Mr..
Leavitt's horses then fell down, and
the team was secured before any
further damage was done. Some
broke harness was the only i'll effect
that happened to Mr.. Leavitt's
property.

ALREADY the Bryanites are C,

ALREADY the Bryanites are COM
mencing to hedge. 1t was given out
some days ago that Mr.. Bryan would
be given great reception at Denver
along about the first of December;
that it would be monster affair, and
that besides Bryan many of his party
associates would be present, and it
would be the opening of the cam
paign of 1900. But amidst the sound
of the factories starting up again, and
confidence and prosperity returning,
it has been found that the people do
not take kindly to the idea of the
campaign of 1900 being opened four
years before hand, and it is now
given out that the Denver af-
fair is not for that purpose, and
that the campaign would not be
opened there anyway, as it is thought
an agricultural state would be pre-
ferable to mining state for such a
purpose. So the Denver gathering is
simply to be for the purpose of con-
ISOLATION and the opening of the cam
paign of 1900 is indefinitely postponed.
Ills well, for amid their returning
prosperity the people would be
very likely to forget it if it were
opened.

THE Glencoe Enterprise says that it
is charged that if the Republicans re-
apportion the state this winter it will
be gerrymander, and wonders if it
would not be pretty hard work to
gerrymander a state that gives a
plurality of 50,000 so as to make it
stronger. 1t would look as though it
would be somewhat difficult job.
But there will hardly be a gerry
mander. The experience of political
parties in states near by which have
undertaken such moves, ought to be
sufficient to arrest any movement of
that kind were it contemplated. But
nothing of the kind has been thought
of. There will be a fair apportion-
ment of the state made, and the Re-
publican party will be stronger be-
cause of making fair one.

THE SPEAKERSHlP.

The contest is on in earnest for the
speakership of the coming session of
the lower branch of the legislature.
There are three or four pronounced
candidates and as many others whose
names have been suggested but who
have not yet entered formally into
the canvass.
The FREE PRESS has in mind a
Fourth district representative who
would make first-class presiding
officer of the house, in the person of
Hon. G. A. Parker, of Washington
county. We have no knowledge as to
whether or not Mr.. Parker has any
aspirations in this direction, but he
has host of friends in and out of the
legislature who would be extremely
glad to push him for the place. Mr..
Parker is a thoroughly fair-minded,
impartial, conservative gentleman,
with sufficient legislative experience
to especially equip him for the duties
devolving upon the speaker, and if he
should at any time enter the field of
contestants, he would make formid-
able candidate.
Washington is one of the good strong
Republican counties of the state, and
it's claims to recognition is quite as
strong as some of the less important
ones that are pushing favorites.
There are few members of the next
house who would make as acceptable
a presiding officer as Mr.. Parker.

down yesterday during the trial and
confessed the crime, pleading guilty
thereto at the advice of his attorney,
and was sentenced to six years in the
state prison at Saltwater. From the
reports he got no more than he de-
served. A more unblushing exhibition
of depravity seldom comes to public
notice than is revealed in the
character of this miscreant Hull.

EX-CANDIDATE SEWALL is reported
election was great victory for silver.
Mr.. Sewall spoke better than he
doubtless meant. The result of the
recent election was victory for
silver, for it saved that metal from
debasement. 1t was a victory for
practical bimetalism, for it preserves
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver. 1t was a defeat for silver
monometalism, the success of which
would have been one of the worst
things that could have happened to
silver. Republican success was in
deed victory for silver.

CHAIRMAN ROsING, of the Demo-
cratic state committee and John Lind
are considering the adviSability of
contesting Gov. Clough's right to the
Office for the next two years, and the
work of gathering information upon
which to base a contest is going on
and being compiled by Secretary E.
M. Pope. They are of the opinion
that a recount of the votes would
greatly reduce Gov. CloughS plu-
rality, if it did not wipe it out alto
gether. The ground on which they
base their idea for contest is that
many ballots were marked for both
the Bryan and Palmer electors and it
is asserted that these were thrown
out and not counted at all on the rest
of the ticket, though marked correct
ly. They will not decide for some
time yet as TO what they will do, as
they have twenty or thirty days after
the completion OF the official count in
which to file notice of contest, and
the official count will not be made I'M
til some time next month.

Mckinley in response to the for
NAL speech notifying him Of his
nomination said that legislation
that would stop the flow of gold
out of this country for the merchan-
disc we import would solve the
vexatious problem Of the
withdrawal of the gold from this
country to settle the trade balan-
ces with Europe. Under the pres
tariff laws the consumers pay for
cheap labor in Europe on manu-
featured goods. which could be
made at home, twenty-five million

fact is that the world is advancing
with the development of general

there was among the same class in

1t will he rememb, red that the
TELLER consulted Attorney Cen
eral Parsons on the subject of In
dian suffrage. His opinion was
given as the highest authority in
the state on questions Of law. He
unreservedly stated that Indians
who have taken land under the
Nez Perces allotment act, are sub
ject to taxation and possess the
right to vote. Judge Claggett, in
letter to the Tribune, takes issue
With the Attorney General and as
serts that they have not the right
to vote. The right of suffrage is
left almost entirely with the states,
the question of United States citi-
zenship not being considered. The
qualifications which touch upon
the subject in hand seems to be
whether or not the Indian is sub
ject to taxation. This question has
been settled by court decision and
precedent, so that it is surprising
that Judge Claggett would bring
it up again There is no doubt
about their liability to taxation,
whether the law can be enforced or
no.. They may not be possessed
of taxable property, but the law
never contemplated the imposition
OF property qualification of cleo
tors in this case more than others.
Ifit did. such law would be un-
constitutional. The other excep-
tons presented by Judge Claggett
do not apply to the Nez Perces.
The United States Statutes severed
his tribal relations from aud after
the passage Of the Allotment Act.
The same provisions compel him to
adopt the habits of civilization.
He is given a farm with the means
Of improving it and placed in po-
sition to live comfortably from an
nu'ties, rentals etc. Clagett presents
no new light upon the subject, nor
does he make a case out of the old
points, He evidently wants to in
dulge the populist characteristics
that possesses him in these years
Of warnings tor office, of growing
at his superiors. The Indians who
can vote are limited to those who
can read sufficiently to prepare
their ballots. Though an incon-
sidcrate element will seek to qu IT,
ify as electors by registration, the
effect will not be good. If they
could be denied the right without
discriminating in favor of the
white man who is equally ignorant,
there would be none to object. How
ever, they will he like other classes,
tolerated in the cause of universal
human rights.
