Nezir-Ed-Din.

The shah of Persia, who has just met
his death at the hands of an assassin,
was, from all accounts, most unmiti-
gated brute. An American who visited
him number Of years ago told a story
of how he was invited to attend one of
the Shah's morning receptions in which
he heard complaints and administed JUS
tice to his subjects. The examination of
a culprit was brief, and usually ended
with the shah pronouncing sentence and
having it executed on the spot. He
would pronounce judgment thus: "Cut
the condemned" and then he would
point to his own ear, or eye, or hand, or
any portion of the body he desired mutt
lated, and the executioners would sieZe
the victim and deprive him of an eye, all
ear, IL hand, foot, or even Of his head, in
accordance with the barbarous Sentence.
Sometimes the culprit escaped with a
cruel flogging. The scene became so dis
gushing and painful that the American
turned sick and asked to be excused.
When the shah visited England he was
assigned a palace for his occupancy, and
left it in such filthy condition that it
was a question with the authorities
whether they would clean it or tear it
down. His death might be blessing
to Persia if there was any hope of a more
enlightened ruler succeeding him, which
presumely there is not Minneapolis

Congressman McClearv's no

Congressman McCleary's nomlna ting
convention in the Second district will
not be held until after the national con-
vention, this at McCleary's suggestion,
he believing that at St. Louis the party
will declare for sound money, aud so
emphasize the position which he has TAX
en- on the financial question, and give
him stronger hold upon his people than
he already has. This is beyond all sort
ofquestion the year for men like NcClea-
ry and Congressman Johnson, of North
Dakota, and II they come to the front and
attract more notice than some of their
nelghbors, nobody should find fault.
Some of the bright young Republicans of
this state-and few of them live in the
Second district-would no doubt give a
part of their interest in the hereafter if
they could have known three years ago,
when the silver movement came on,
promising to sweep over the country like
whirlwind, carrying all before it, that
it was to reach It's height in. one CAM
paign and then die out. They wouldn't
have been so eager to take up with the
new movement. Their position today is
like that Of the man who was ha-nessed
mp with the calf, which straightway star
ted down the lane on dead run. They
would give good deal if they could get
loose.--Jerry J, in the Minneapolis Jour
nal.
If the forepart of the above is true,
me. ''sound money! tone of the Second
district isn't as strong as the papers of
the Twin Cities have been trying to make
the people believe. And it probably is
true. McCleary, If he is capable of any
political shrewdness, is well aware thai
the preponderance of sentiment in his
district IS against single gold standard
and that right within his own party there
is strong faction that does not believe
IN Wall Street platform and Roth
schild candidate. McCleary isn't so deaG

McCleary's denomination Is as sure as
shooting. The only opposition now re-
manning is Leo by Geo. w. somerville,
of Sleepy Eye, and | doubt whether Mr..
Somerville, or any of his friends, believes
that he is making any Roadway. The
longer look at it the more firmly con-
WINGED do become that the opposition
to McCleary, which has broken out spo-
radically over the district half d dozen
times this year, has all been Matched up
in the silver camp. While he may not
have known it, believe that the silver
men were using Ed Weaver and that they
had more to do with bringing Somerville
out than all other elements in the district
combined. The last boom for Weaver,
which the gentleman squelched by card
to the Republicans of the district, was
started by tie editor of silver Republic
can paper called silver Republican by
courtesy, for after St. Louis there will
be no such thing. And Somerville has
had good deal more encouragement
from men like John Lind than from men
who are in close touch with the party
Jerry J. in Minneapolis Journal.
You're wrong again, Jerry. When
you say that Somerville and Weaver have
both been played with by the silver men
of the district you don't know what
you're talking about. The boom for
Weaver originated with no less ''sound
money" man than Eb. Huntington of
Window and was Immediately taken up
by the leading Republicans of Mankato,
who, whether Hunt says 50 or not, are not
at heart for McCleary. The Mankato
News, the chief exponent of the Wea-
yer interests, was never a silver paper,
and is entitled to equal respect with the
Free Press or any other Republican jour-
nal of the district. AS for the Somer-
vile boom, it too had It's origin as much
outside of the silver camp as from
within it. L. P. Hunt was one of the
first men to suggest his candidacy and
for reasons stated elsewhere in this pa
per. simultaneously with his sugges-
ton, there came demand for the Sleepy
Eye man from leading Republicans all O.
yer the district. Not because of fnan-
cial views, but because they were tired
of the present incumbent and believed
Somerville to be able, honest and thor
oughly competent to represent the dis
trict to better advantage in congress.
So much for the fine Italian work of the
Second district silverites.

New U1m RegieW
JOHNSON & WIcHERSkL, PUBLISHERS.
Wednesday May -, 1896.

L.P. Hunt, of the Mankato Free Press
is mighty peculiar fellow. He was
one of the first to bring out Geo. w
Somerville as a candidate for congress IL
this district, on the ground that it would
never do to send back McCleary, and
now that Somerville's name has been
mentioned he has positively opposed his
candidacy and lauded McCleary to the
skies. Must have been some leaven at
work somewhere. Don't know where
and IN what manner, but certain it is
that 1t worked successfully.-New Ulm
Review.
The Above reference to the editor of
the Free Press, found in this weeks New
Uim Review, is as unprofessional as it is
untruthful. Mr.. Hunt was not one of
the first to bring out Geo. W, Somer-
vile as candidate for congress in this
district, and he is in no wise responsible
for Mr. Somerville's candidacy. This
paper has treated the Brown county can
didate with the utmost courtesy, has ne
yer spoken lily of him, nor has it per-
mitted to its columns any of the criti-
cisms regarding Mr.. Somerville which
have been going the rounds of large
number of papers in the district. He
has as good right to aspire to congress
as any one, and the Free Press is one of
a very few papers which are advocating
the reelection of Congressman cCleary
that has seen fit to speak kindly and
even complimentary of Mr.. Somerville.
He is gentleman, and that eAconium is
more than can be passed upon some of
his supporters who will resort to such
uncomplimentary reference to the edi-
tor of this paper as is found in the Re-
view. Mr.. McCleary is as morally GER
tain of denomination in this district as
Mckinley is to receive the nomination
at St. Louis, and it is small business for
any newspaper supporting Somerville to
impugn the motives of those Of McClea-
ry's friends who see tit TO support him.
There is no argument in such stuff as the
Review has seen fit to pen, and it will IN
no wise enure to the benefit or advan-
tage of its ndidate.-Mankato Free
Press.
Now look here, Hunt, why can't you
tell the truth? You know, as we'll as
you know anything, that the name of
Mr.. Somerville in connection with the
Congressional nomination did not appear
in any paper until it was sprung by the
Review, and you also know that it was
not done until after you had personally
urged us to 10 so, and had told US that
you had no use for the present incum-
bent, did not want to see him reelected
and was sure that Somerville could win
out against him. These words, Bro.
Hunt, do not tell the story of dream,
but rather OF facts of positive nature.
We do not claim that you haven't the
right to support Mr.. McCleary, but we
do claim that it is not treating BROTH
TT editor fair 10 induce him to bring out
and support man whom you are not
willing to fight for yourself.

PORTLAND FUGITIVE LOCATED.
Lionel Stagge, Forger and Confidence Man
Seen on the Streets of
CHICAGO,

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. s.-From pri-
vate dispatch received in this city to-day
it is learned that Lionel Stagge, the ex-
Portlander whom the Denver police desire
to arrest for swindling operations, is in
Chicago under an assumed name. He
was seen in Chicago several days last
week, and when he met Portland man
refused TO recognize him.
Stagge is known in San Francisco, to
which place he went after leaving here.
He has been in several confidence scrapes,
and once ran a monthly banking period
ical. In Denver he got up miners direct
ory. He is said to have collected money
from subscribers in advance and then de-
camped, after having got an afternoon
paper into muddle, and also into bad re-
pute.
Stagge served term in the Oregon State
Penitentiary for forgery under the alias
of Waterhouse.
