UNDER the Mckinley law for the
year 1894, the Importation of hides,
tobacco, wines, wool, cotton, rice,
animals, seeds, breadstuffs, provisions,
flax, dairy products, wheat, barley,
hops, hemp, and eggs, amounted in
round numbers to 500, 100000. The
St. Paul Pioneer Press shows that un-
der the present Democratic step
towards free trade, the importation of
the same Identical articles reached
S135, 900, or more than double the i'm
ports under the Mckinley law. The
export of these same articles, with
flour, sugar, bacon, pork, tallow, oats,
vegetables and hay added, for the
year 1894, under the Mckinley law,
reached the sum of 100000, 900, while
for 1895 under the present law
they were S752,OOO,OO0, or $780,
100000 less, representing loss of
over S2lO,OOO,OOO under the present
law to American producers. This is
the way the markets or tine world are
opened up to the manufacturers and
producers of this country by legisla-
tion looking toward free trade The
one cry of the free trader has been
that protection did the farmer no
good, but the Wilson-Gorman law has
demonstrated that legislation looking
toward free trade will not open up a
market outside of this country for a
bushel of wheat, or pound of flour or
pork, while at the same time it robs
the American farmer of the chance he
formerly had in his own market, by
enlarging imports and his own surplus.
No wonder that the tidal wave of pro-
lection is running high, and bids to
become deluge for free trade in No
vember next.

THE DIVORCE LAW COMPLICATION

The recent decision of the United
States supreme court in regard to the
matter of divorce seems destined to
add to the complexities of the divorce
question, unless it should aid in bring
ing about conditions which would re-
suit in uniform divorce law through
out the country. The decision is to
the effect that where persons have
secured divorce in one state and
been prohibited by the court, under
the law of that state, from marrying
again, and have gone into another
where no such provision exists in the
divorce laws, are criminals and can be
arrested and prosecuted for bigamy.
Worse than this it declares the off
spring of such marriages illegitimate
and opens up endless difficulties re-
garding property questions, etc. The
decision is founded upon clause of
the constitution which provides that
'full faith and credit shall be given
in each state to the judicial proceed
ings of every state" Those who have
spent large sums of money to clear
their path of the legal obstacles in
the matter of the. marriage relation
and have been prohibited by the court
from marrying again, cannot 60 into
another state where such provisions
do not exist in the laws and feel free
to marry, as the court declares that
such marriage is bigamous, and that
the judicial decision which prohibit
ed their marrying, must be respected
and observed in every state of the
union. So far as this is concerned, it
is not likely that any objection will
be made by the public, and whatever
hardship it may work will generally
be looked upon as just. The hard
ship comes from its effect on past
marriages and the visiting upon thou
sands of innocent heads the blight
of illegitimacy. Much good may
come out of the tangle into which it
has thrown things, however, as it may
lead TO a uniformity in our divorce
laws, a matter to be Ogreatly well
coined And if so it will only be an
other illustration of good coming from
hardships which have been cast up
on many people.

A SOLID FRONT.

The outcome of yesterdays, Reub-
llcan convention at Minneapolis, was
solid Mckinley delegation, and will
go far toward ensuring the success of
the great apostle of protection at St.
Louis in June next, for it brings to
his support the entire northwest,
broken only by the Allison delegation
of Iowa. One of the great events Of
the day was the withdrawal of Sena-
tor Davis from the presidential con-
test and the consequent release of
many of his friends from the embar-
raising position they found themselves
min supporting him, while at the same
time they did not feel unfriendly to
Major Mckinley. The Senator's with
drawal simplitied matters much, and
prevented the hot contest which
would undoubtedly have taken place
be the friends of the two candidates.
At the same time the convention
paid the senator most graceful COM
pliment in following his outline for a
platform, and as a:result a stronger
platform utterance is seldom put
forth by party. 1t is clear cut, con-
else and in every particular right to
the point. 1t declares for protection,
reciprocity sound money, and opposi-
tion to the unlimited and free coin
age of silver, because it would destroy
the parity with gold, favored the Sc
curing of an international agreement,
expressed a sympathy for Cuba, and
pronounced in favor of the enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine. In
this the convention exhibited great
wisdom in following so closely the
path marked out by Mr.. Davis.
And in doing as he did, Senator
Davis has greatly strengthened him
self with the Republican party of
Minnesota, and is more than ever it's
favorite son. 1t is nothing in his dis
favor that under the circumstances
the party drifted so strongly to Ohio's
great representative Of protec tion,
and his action will cause him to be
kindly remembered in the future, and
should ANYTHING occur which should
make the nomination of Major Nc
Kinley impossible, there is little ques-
tion but that the solid delegation
from the state would turn to and
work for Davis with will, and do all
that men could do to land him the
prize.
The Republicans of Minnesota have
started the campaign well, and the
same wise guidance which character
lied yesterdays gathering will bring
about one of the greatest Republican
victories in November next that the
state ever witnessed.

G. F. F. ABBOTT HERE.
He Meets His Son, Alias Kimberly, at
the Jail

@. f. f. Abbott arrived in the city
from St. Paul Tuesday evening, to see
whether or not 81. A. Kimberley"
was his son. He modestly registered
at the Clifton House, while the young
man had found The Saulpaugh none
too good for his gentle blood. This
morning Mr.. Abbott called at the jail
and asked to see the prisoner A let
ter had arrived for the latter, address,
ed to &C. E. Abbott" and bearing a
special delivery stamp, but the boy
had refused to receive it from Sheriff
Bowen, claiming that his name was
Kimberley and not Abbott. He had
made this same claim to the FREE
PRESS yesterday. When Mr.. Abbott
pere arrived, however, the mask was
thrown aside, and the boy could no
longer deny his relationship. The
boy took the interview quite calmly.
but his father was affected to tears by
the sight of bright and once promis-
ing son behind the bars.
Mr.. Abbott returned to St. Paul this
afternoon without saying whether he
would bail out his son, and it is not
thought by the officers that he will.
Before his departure he was seen by
the FREE PRESS, and was very reluct-
ant to talk of the matter, and seemed
very sad aud downcast. Said he:
1.-The boy is my son, and he has gotten
into trouble. [ believe that he was
led to do what he has done by another
party, young man about twenty-five
years of age, whom / have never seen,
but who worked until recently in the
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-03-27
Is Not Abbott.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press states
that G. f. f. Abbott, a contractor of
that city, believes that Kimberley is
his son, Edward, and he and his wife
are deeply grieved. In an interview
he said: II believe that it is my boy
Edward. He has been absent from
here for five or six weeks, and has
caused no end of trouble by forging
Mrs. Abbott's name to checks. l do
not believe that he has committed
the real forgery. He has laid the pa
per down, but l am sure that he did
not do the pen work on the checks. 1t
has been my belief all along that the
boy was being made the tool of an
older and more INSCRIPTIONS person I"
Kimberley was asked about this
at the Jail this afternoon and denied
that he is Edward Abbott, whom he
said has gone to Duluth. He says
that they were chums, and boarded
together for time. Further than
this, he would not say.

NEW TIME TABLE.
The Milwaukee Road Will Have Three
Branch Trains.

An important change in the train
service of the Milwaukee road is ex-
pected to occur about April 1st. The
freight business of the Wells branch
has been growing so rapidly of late.
and particularly in Mankato, that
another train will have to be added.
A straight passenger train will be put
on each way, leaving Wells at $50 a
m. and reaching MankatO at 11:25 a.
M, and leaving Mankato at 1925 p. m.
and reaching Wells at 4:55 p. M. This
will save about an hour in the trip
each way over the present schedule of
the mixed train. No change will be
made in the running time of the pres
ent morning and mixed train, but
second mixed train will be added, both
ways. The officials of the road have
eft it with Agent Moore to prepare
and recommend time schedule for
this train, and he will probably ask to
have the train leave this city for Wells
at 700 p. M, which will allow people
along the branch who have attended
ball games to return home the same
evening. 1t will not be a mail train.
and in the case of an entertainment
or political meeting in the city in the
evening it could be held few hours,
The straight passenger train will
connect at Wells with the east and
west through trains. The service pro-
posed will be great improvement
and ought to satisfy everybody.
LATER-This afternoon Division
Supt. w. Erwin, Division Freight
Agent A. S. Willowby, Roadmaster
Hines, and Supt. of buildings and
bridges, A. ]. Hart. arrived in
the city and remained short
time. Mr.. Erwin approved of
Mr.. Moore's plans, and said that a
time card as proposed would be pro-
mulgated within two weeks. This
settles the matter, and our business
men will have reason to rejoice &C

BOND FILED.
A. c. Hartung's Assets are ST., 100,
Exceeded by His Liabilities.

Adolph Lille filed his bond with
Clerk of Court Wednesday, as as
signee of A. Q. Hartung. The bond
was for $4,000, with Joseph Mander-
field and Mic Peterson as sureties.
The invoice of the assets has been
taken, but the schedule has not yet
been fled The assets comprise furni-
ture, fixtures, stock and book accounts,
and aggregate about 81, 100, of which
$3.50 is stock, and the greater part
furniture. Mr.. Hartung estimates
that his liabilities will somewhat eX-
coed the assets. He lays his financial
trouble to decline in business. Said
he today: "When l started in on
block fourteen there were only two
saloons and we had a fine business.
The number has now increased to six
or seven, and as all are good places the
business had to divide up. went in
to debt for expensive furniture, and
being behind, the result was that l
had to give up"

THE result of the various congress
sional conventions held in this state,
and of the state convention yesterday,
shows conclusively that the Republi-
cans of Minnesota are not affected to
any considerable degree by the free
silver craze. The free silver senti-
ment is very weak. On the other
hand honest bimetallism shows itself
strong. There is no gold monometal-
lism apparent. The two extremes are
cast one side and the middle course
taken. There is no hostility to the
largest use of silver that can be ham
died with safety to our financial sys
TEN. That is the statesmanlike course
to pursue.

at st. Paul. want to see that man,
and | want to see him bad. 1t is true
that my boy has gotten into trouble
at ST. Paul, and / believe il is all ow-
ing to that other man."
Mrs. Abbott is nearly heart broken
over the affair.
Mr.. Abbott is quoted by the st.
Paul Pioneer Press as saying that his
son, Edward, has caused no end of
trouble by forging Mrs. Abbett's
name to checks; that the bank &C
count of himself and wife at the Ger
man American was completely wiped
out by forged checks: and that he pre-
sumed that the boy obtained several
hundred dollars before leaving the
city.
Young Abbott is believed to be
wanted at st. Paul for forgery, or that
warrant is out there for his arrest
on that charge.
