THE idea that the Raines Excise law,
passed by the New York Republican
Legislature, was going to injure the
republican party of that state is no
longer held even by democrats; on the
contrary it is going to strengthen the
republicans. Here is the opinion of
Judge c. w. Meade, for some years
police judge in New York City, who is
now visiting Washington: cat first it
looked as though the Raines law would
be so distasteful to the public that the
republican party would be m Jade to sui
fer for its enactment. Bat there has
been great change of public stntirneut;
the people are beginning to realize the
many good points Of the law, and am
satisfied that the republicans will reap
the benefit from it instead OF disaster.
It is about as good statute as the ingen-
uity of man could contrive; 1t wipes out
the dives where the poorer classes loaf
and squander their earnings; it puts the
business of selling liquor ON the best
possible plane by putting it in the hands
of responsible men, and it does away
with the corruption and blackmail of
the old regime"

RURAL Minnesota OF that portion OF
it designated as Central" has occa-
sion to congratulate itself upon its pres
emit condition and prospects. st. Paul
and Minneapolis are passing under the
rod OF business stagnation. Values have
shrunken enormously, and investments
in reality are rare. Low as property is
there is no confidence sufficient to war
rart its requirement tor speculative pur-
poses. This section of the state does not
commence to feel the dizziness eyery-
where apparent IN the twin cities. In
fact, there has been but little recession
in values CT reality either within the city
or IN farming lands. 1t is true that
there is no great activity-few sales OF
city property are recorded, but when
they are made values are well main
tanned. There is some enquiry for farms,
and the present indications arefor great
err activity in the near future.

MACHINE POLITICS.

The preliminary campaign for state |
officers is the fercest Minnesota has
experienced for years. 1t is battle |
royal between the machine and the peo-
pie whom the machine seeks to crush
into subserviency. 1t is a relentless
thing, this political juggernant-its
friends call it the band wagon and its
enemies dub it the machine. 1t is just
as pernicious and distinctive under
one name as under the other.
Mr.. Clough, the present governor Of
Minnesota, has the laudable ambition
to succeed himself, but his sole reliance,
is the political machine. which is under
his absolute control. Every appointee
of his, and others who would like to be,
constitute the army OF advocates who
are pushing his claims. He, no doubt.
is sincere in Viewing not only in the
efficacy but II. tie righteousness of ma
chine politics and machine methods.
He belongs to that school OF politicians
whose motoo is, Everything is fair in
politics." A better public opinion is
asserting itself throughout the country.
The people are commencing to think for
themselves, political bossism in all part
les is being resented as never before.
The independent voter has felt his pow
er, exercised it and enjoyed it's benefcenl
fruits. In New York the Republican
machine was swept out of existence by
a tidal wave OF public indignation, few
years since, and later, in the same state
the democratic machine shared a like
fate. But new ones are being construct
ed, to share like fate in due time. G
In Minnesota the time has come for
the rank and file of the republican party
to assert itself. Let it come to the lore
front in the preliminary campaign and
make its protest so vigorously that
there will be nothing uncertain in its
action and its ends.
However good servant a man may
be in public life, the people never intend
ed him to be political boss.
The HERALD desires to impress this
phase OF the present situation upon its
readers. And now to make personal
and pointed application: Hon. Vim. E.
Lee stands Tor anti-machine politics il,
this fight. Not only has he no afilia-
ton with it, but the machine is cen
trating its powers against him. He is
the one candidate who, above all others,
is felt to be hostile to the ringsters and
their methods, and he must be defeated
at whatever cost. But they will learn
valuable lesson before the campaign
shall close.

THE disgraceful fight with ink bottles.
sponge cups and other stray bits of Gov
eminent stationery which Representa-
tives Hall, of Mo-, and Money, of Miss.
got into, in House committee room
the other day, indicates the present
status Of the silver and anti-silver dem
ocrats. Money is a silver democrat,
and Hall was originally elected as such,
but he was converted by Mr.. Cleveland
at the extra session of the ffty-third
Congress which repealed the purchasing
clause Of the so-called Sherman silver
law, and is now anti-silver. They are
all ready to fv at each others threats
and nobody will be surprised if the Chi
cago convention should end in free
fight in which more dangerous weapons
than ink bottles will be used.

Lee allowed Hendryx to be slaught-
cred at Aitkin, and still Charley filings
forth the gubernatorial banner on the
outer wall. Well, well, editors can for
get most anything .-Anoka Union.
The Union, in common with many of
the other good friends of the writer, is
mistaken. VIM. E. Lee is not, directly
or indirectly, responsible for Todd Coun-
tvs vote in the Aitkin convention. On
the other hand, Mr.. Lee not only offered
but desired to go to Aitkin in the inter
est of Mr.. Hendryx, but he thought it
wiser for him not to do SO and advised
against it, as he did not want it to even
appear that there was any gubernator-
ial politics mixed up in the district cam
paign for delegates. Mr.. Lee PLAYED no
sinister part in that convention, but
was and is as warm a friend as Mr..
Hendryx has in the state-and the
friendship is reciprocal.

DEMOCRATIC FINANcIRRING.

The treasury deficit for the fiscal year
ending June 3s. 1896. will be approx
mately SOS, 100000. This is the opinion
of officials and Others best qualified to
make an intelligent estimate of the re-
suit of the fiscal operations of the year.
In his annual estimates sent to congress
at the beginning of the present session,
the secretary of the treasury estimated
the receipts from customs during the
fiscal year at $172. 100000. So far,
with nearly ten months of the yea!
gone, the custom receipts hayc reached
about $137, 900. with a fair pros
pect Of increasing to $165, 900, 900 bv
the close of the year. The estimate OF
the receipts from internal revenue sour
ces was $15S, 100000. Up to this time
they have reached $4,000, 900, and it
is expected the figures for the completed
year will be about $146, 900. 900. The
receipts from miscellaneous sources are
expected to slightly exceed the estimates
of $15,000.O00, making the total re-
ceipts tor the year about $327, 900 900.
The secretary's estimate OF the years
expenditure was 1862. 900, 900. which.
according to his figures, would leave
| deficiency OF $37,000.O0O The actual
expenditures however, 1t is now
thought, will aggregate about $685.
OOO, 900 or SO, 100000, less than Mr..
Carlisle's estimate in December last, SO
that the deficit at the close of the year,
it is believed, will not show any very
material change from Saturdays figures,
$25, 1862 ,423. This makes the total de-
fcit for the three fiscal years ending
June 80, 1896, $136, s61 .912. The Sec
retary's estimates at the time they were
made were believed by those of long ex.
perience in the department to be extreme
ly conservative. The receipts from both
customs and internal revenue sources,
however, have been surprisingly low,
and there does not seem to be any i'm
mediate prospect of material improve
ments.

THE Republican convention for the
Sixth congressional district has been
called to meet at St. Cloud on July 18th
just one month after the national con-
vention. It will be composed of 207
members, of which st. Louis County will
have fiity-eight and Stearns County
fifteen.

THE SITUATION.

The latest figures on the presidential
situation shows MIR. Nc Kinley far in
the lead, and yet long way from hav-
ing sure majority of the cow -ntion on
the first ballot. The convention will be
composed of about 915 delegates-de-
pending upon how many are admitted
from the territories of Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma. 1t will, there
fore, require from, 455 to AGO delegate
to constitute majority OF the conven-
ton.
There has been already elected FOG,
and the most careful estimates made in
W shington bv persons not directly in
tere. I'd in any one of the candidates is
as lows:
Nc Kinley
All l44
Doubtful.
Contested........."
1t will be seen that Mr.. Nc Kinley
must secure more than $50 additional
votes from the 200 not yet chosen and
from the doubtful and contested lists to
make his nomination assured on the
first ballot. From these figures many
are led to believe tina. there will be
ombination OF all other interests against
the fav orite, as was done in the case of
Grant and Blaine. But the con .ii,ions
are wholly different, neither had any
second choice upon which they could
rely-not so with Mr.. Mckinley.
Among the friends of "favorite sons" in
the several states, he has scores OF warm
admirers who will be only too glad to
rally to his support so soon as the. are
relieved from further support OF their
local tavorite. The present condition
warrants the confident belief that Mr..
Mckinley will be tn next president Of
the United States.

WHILE the Republican machine may
deem it good politics to claim a walk
over in the state convention, yet the
manufacturers OF il are not relaxing any
energies to control delegations. One
would infer that outside OF county or
two in the first, sixth and seventh dis
tricts there is no anti-Clough sentiment
in the state.

SENATOR WALcoTT, who by the way
is tile ablest advocate the free coinage
men have in the United States senate, in
an open letter he settles the question OF
going outside the Republican party to
achieve the purposes. He says:
Both of the two great parties are APP
parentlv opposed to free coinage by the
United States. The Populist party fay
ors free coinage, but only as means to
secure more currency, and as stepping
stone 10 unlimited paper money, and it
unites with it's free coinage advocacy,
socialistic and paternalistic doctrines.
which are dangerous in tendency, and
which would be-if adopted-destructiv
to free institutions. l know of no fourth
party as vet entitled to our confidence
and support. although the wisdom OF
leaders whose character and ability we
trust, may find some common ground
upon which bimetallists, untainted with
Populism, may stand.
Under those circumstances and cond1-
tions, therefore, desire to be counted
as a republican, proud of the traditions
OF my party, glorving in its achieve
ments, and still hopeful that the great
party which has heretofore stood for the
masses against the classes may on this
great economic question yet range itself
on the side of humanity and of civiliza-
ton.
There is, in my opinion, one event
which might involve our country in
worse disaster than gold monometal-
lism, and only one, and that would be
the triumph of Populism. Colorado
suffered under the degradation and blight
of Popu1st rule for two years. believe
it the duty of every good. citizen to
stand up and fight IN the open against
a repetition of that ruinous experiment.

HINTS TO housEKEEPERs.

An easy way to prepare cr%outons or
crusts for tomato or bean soup is to
butter n or two slices of bread on both
sides, cut in small squares and brown in
the oven.
For cleansing faucets: Use equal parts
of fine sand and salt mixed with vinegar
to polish, and when thoroughly dry
rub a lemon over it TO keep it from tar
nishing. This will be found an excellent
remedy for cleaning all kinds of copper
pans, etc, that are used on stoves for
cooking purposes.
It is worth while to recall, with the
trying winds Of autumn upon us, that
a baked lemon is an excellent remedy
for hoarseness, and one often resorted
to by singers and public speakers. The
lemon is baked like an apple, and a lit
tie Of the heated and thickened juice
squeezed over lump sugar.
A good way to clean lamp chimneys
is to hold the palm of the hand against
one end of The chimney and breathe into
the other, then wipe it carefully with a
dry cloth, which will remove alIblack or
other stains. After this a better pol
ish can be given by rubbing it with a
cloth moistened with alcohol.

A new material Tor trunks ID much
used BY : Le.psic firm. It is surpris-
ingly light in weight. while its resist
ance il equal to several layers Of the
best sole leather. A combination OF
strong linen canvas, with interviewer
cane. is very cleverly applied for the
manufacture of trunks. The straps OF
cane used in the material are about
pne- eighth Of an inch wide, while only
a trifle less than a sixteenth Of an inch
in thickness. They are interviewer so
closely into the double flax cover that
they form IN elastic surface capable Of
considerable resistance, and superior
both in fexibility anddensitytoleathe
The trunks made of this material are
considerably lighter than leather
trunks, and are much more pleasant to
handle than the old wooden trunk. For
travelling in Europe they are particu-
larly advantageous, as they will save
their cost in excess baggage in a short
time.
