Senator Keller lett for Germany for a
visit of indefinite duration, on Saturday
last. The Minneapolis Times says this
OF him and his trip:
Senator Henry Keller, OF Stearns coun-
ty, started Yesterday tor New York,
Tor Europe. He will visit the home OF
his childhood in Hesse Darmstadt, and
will remain abroad for an indefinite
period. Mr.. Keller left Germany when
young man, in 1864, to avoid service
IN the German army. Arriving in New
York just before the close of the civil
war in America, he enlisted in the Tenth
United States infantry before he had
been three days in the country. When
the war was closed, he came with his
company to Fort Ripley, where he
served until his discharge. Afterward
he loca.ed at Sank Centre, and has ever
since been one of the oest known bust
hess men and politicians in northern
Minnesota. He has friends all over the
state. While being somewhat eccen-
trio gentleman, he Is also known to be
very honest and sincere one. Those who
have had business and social relations
with him will regret to learn that the
recent death Of his father in the old coun-
try may make it necessary for him to
remain permanentlyinG Germany. There
are large property interests involved,
which Mr.. Keller will be compelled to
look personally after.
1t was Mr.. Keller's mother who died
some time since, in Germany. His faith
er is an aged man and considera bly,
broken in health. pensioner on the civ
Il list OF Germany as superannuated
railroad employee. Mr.. Keller has been
making arrangements for some time to
visit Germany, and takes the occasion,
at the season when his services can best
be dispensed with in the factory,

enemies of his, and we are told that from

THE Evening Herald of Duluth not
only occupies the evening newspaper
field in st. LOUIS. without competition
but fills it SO that competition is wholly
unnecessary and superhuous. The Her

the city. The Commonwealth gave up
the unequal fight after long and ex-
pensiye struggle, and the Herald inner

THE record made by Mr.. Lee while

THE record made by Mr.. Lee while
of the Reformatory at
St. Cloud is an event OF what may he |
expected OF him in every department of
the state government, and particularly
in the administration of the several
state institutions. During one year he
saved over $4,000 to the state in the
conduct of the Reformatory. This does
not indicate that there has been, or now
exists, any dishonesty or compact prac-
tices in the management of affairs, but
simply that there are leaks and extrava-
ganees which may be checked without
in any way initiating against the effec-
tivcness of these institutions. Mr.. Lee
is man OF affairs. He is strict and
yet liberal business man. He believes
the same careful methods should be
applied to the affairs of the state that a
president would apply to his private
business. He recognizes the fact, which
is patent to all who have given the SUBJ
jeCt even cursory attention, that there
are scores of sinecures attached to the
states, men who are drawing salary for
little or no equivalent, and scores of
more who are drawing pay in the way
of fees for in excess of the value of their
services. In fact, thousands upon thou
sands of dollars are taken from the peo-

return is made. Some OF these highly
feel offices are very valuable to the party
machine, II is true. An officer collecting
from ten to twenty thousand year can
afford to be generous in the matter oil
campaign assessments.
But it is an unwholesome condition Of
affairs and protends no good to the
state that such conditions exist. Mr..
Lee is personally pledged to use his ut
most authority if elected, to search out
and correst these, and kindred evils. He
is pledged to the strictest economy con.
sistent with efficient administration. 1t
is natura.-inevitable, that his candi-
dacy meets with fierce opposition at the
hands ofthe ''ins." The present admin
istration has practically singled him out
as the man upon whom their fight is
concentrated. Every art of political
warfare is beng employed to make it
appear that he is out OF the race. 1t has
ever been reported that he has with
drawn, Do not be deceived, VIM. E.
Lee is in the race to win. and he will
win just as sure as the power of the
people is greater than that of the ma
chine bosses. Clean out and lay bare is
what the people want-and they can
have it, but not from the machine.

An IatersstIsg Argument.

BOSTON, Mnrch 26 - Colonel Albert
Clarke, secretary of the Home Market
club and one OF the most pronounced ad-
vocates OF a protective tariff in this coun-
try, was the guest OF honor at the dinner
OF the New England Free Grade league
last night, and delivered an eloquent ad-
dress In favor of protection for home in
dustrles.
The invitation to Colonel Clarke to be
present and give the protectionists' side OF
the tariff issue was an innovation In the
history of the league, and proved very
successful one. His address WAS listened
to with close and courteous attention, and
he stated his views frankly and fearlessly.
Harvey n. Shepard. chairman of the ex.
ecutive committee of the league, replied to
Mr. Clarke In the same manner, and alto
gether the joint debate was very enter
tanning as we'll as instructive. John e.
Russell also spoke on the free-trade side
Of the question.
Colonel Clarke reviewed the tariff laws
OF the country, and In conclusion said:
Until our manufacturers supply our mar.
ket 1t Is folly to open the market TO more
foreign goods, hoping that foreign mar.
kets will do likewise. Weakening our.
selves ut home does not strengthen our
selves abroad. by preserving protection
we have bargaining power by which
reciprocity in non-competing articles can
stand TO advantage.
Harvey N. Shepard said, in part: "We
believe that whatever makes for the good
Of the world at large, makes for the good
of the United States. We believe that
the greatest good will come from the free
exchange of what we can make here with
those goods which other counxies can
make. We beiieve that there is differ.
ence between a protective tariff and a
tariff for revenue

South Dakota Will Send Delegates
Pledged to the Ohioau.


HURON, S. D., March 26.-The Republic
can state convention declared for Nc
Kinley for president, and reaflirmed the
financial plank of the Minneapolis plat
form of '92.
The resolutions adopted declared for a
protective tariff; reaflirmed the Mime
apolis financial plank until St. Louis
adopts a later statement, and instructed
the delegates To 81. Louis to use every
legitimate and honorable means to secure
the nomination of William Mckinley.
The election of delegates by judicial dis
tricts resulted rs follows: L. B. Franch,
r. f. Pettigrew, G. G. Sherwood, ID. A.
Mizner, Dave Williams, II. G. Meacham,
W. V. Lucas and w. E Smead.
Previous to choosing delegates, a resolu-
tion was adopted requiring all nominees
TO go upon the floor and declare for Nc.
Kinley and sound money, and not only to
vote but to work to accomplish this end.
This was to force an expression from Sem
ator Pettigrew.
The senator stood In the center of the
convention hall when called upon to state
his position. and declared that he would
bow TO the will Of the majority that while
he had followed course which the future
seemed to Justify, he was willing now to
go TO St. Louis and comply with the
wishes of the state convention by voting
for Mckinley and sound money.
Directly after the adjournment of the
convention, seven of the delegates held n
caucus, at which they resolved that they
would not permit Senator Pettigrew to
go as chairman. neither would they per-
init him to be upon any committee at the
national convention.
