WHY NOTE

Who would make better presiding
officer over the deliberations of the St.
Louis convention than great big Bob
Evans of Minneapolis He is large
every way-a large head, a large heart,
large voice. large body and large
fund of hard common sense. The New
York Mercury of recent date says:
Mr.. Evans is deemed well qualified for
the position. He is a veteran republic
can, of fine presence and in the prime of
life, who has for many years conducted
the state campaigns with success. Heis
an eloquent, selt-possesed speaker, well
versed in parliamentary law. He is in
structed to vote for Mckinley, but all
candidates. including the dark horses.
have the fullest confidence in his fair
ness and impartiality. He comes from a
state which might be said to hold neu
trail position. 1t is Western in senti-
ment, but its leanings are modified by a
strong New England influence derived
from it's early settlers. 1t follows that
while the republicans of the North Star
state are firm as rock for protection
and sound money, they are on the best
of terms with the people of all other
states, including those silver states that
are SO difficult to keep in harness.
The claims OF Minnesota are this time
enhanced by the TACT that she has no
favorite son, Senator Davis having de.
ciined that distinction. II
The temporary chairman 10 not in
vested with much authority or influence,
but the interests of the convention and
the dignity Of the party require that he
should be some one OF the calibre and
high reputation Of r. 6. Evans. who, at
the recent State League Convention in
st. Paul, made powerful address on
the questions of the day.
OF course delegates from other states
will be put forward, but it seems now
certain that the honor will be accorded

TEXAN. SENTIMENT.

There is no man in the Sixth district
whose political opinions are better en-
titled to weight than those OF 0. D.
Kinney OF Duluth. He is well-intormed,
observing, conservative and able. He
has just returned from protracted visit
to Texas, and the News Tribune has
this to say, upon his return:
Honorable o. D. Kinney rejoices in the
political sentiment down in Texas. He
has just returned from there, and says
that William Mckinley is the man they
want for president. Mr.. Kinney does
not rejoice that the Lone Star people
want Mckinley, but that they are in
Kinley is not the choice of MIR. Kinney
tor the nomination to be made at St.
Louis next June, but he is filled with JOY
because the Texans are at last in line
with protection tor American industry.
lie was seen at the St. Louis hotel last
evening by The News Tribune, and in
the course OF an interview on the situa-
ton in Texas as regards the presiden-
IL Il nomination, said:
II believe that Mckinley would cast
d greater nunll Ell OF votes in the South
than any other fiiaa that could be
named. There are men that / should
prefer to Mckinley, if had any choice
in the matter. but there is no mistaking
the favorable sentiment in Texas for the
great protectiouist. If you ask one CT
the people of that state if another man
would not do as well as Mckinley. lie
will shake his head. They want Me-
Kinley down there, and they don't want
any one else apparently, not this time
at least. The name seems to convey
more to them than that OF any other
prominent Republican candidate tor the
presidency. 1t is synonymous to them
of protection, and typifes the principle
more than any other.
1T is no wonder that Texas should be
for protection, for since the tariff was
taken from wool and hides the state
has been rapidly tending toward bank
ruptcv. Wool formerly brought about
26 cents per pound, and it is now worth
less than cotton. The price of wool is
e34 cents, and cotton is worth Z. The
same results obtain as regards the mar
ket for hides. South America has cut III
and practically ruined the business SO
far as Texas is concerned. Yes, they
want protection in Texas, and they
want it bad. too.
81 look to see Texas go Republican
this coming presidential election So
far as Mckinley is concerned, think it
would be wrong for the politicians to
beat him by main strength when it is
evident the people want him. The
South is Republican when you once
eliminate the negro question"

IT WILL be Mckinley. There is but
one way now open to his defeat. and the
manipulators will scarcely dare to re-
sort to 1.-THE open purchase OF venal
votes from the list of unpledged and
contested delegates. Every energy has
been expended in vain by his opponents.
The states OF Vermont and Illinois have
given their adherence to him--states
which were conceded to his opponents.
The opposition has stopped at nothing
calculated to weaken his candidacy, even
sunmoning to It's aid religions into
erance and prejudice. The A. P. A. has
been enlisted in the urholy warfare
Mr.. Mckinley has been charged with
being hostile to that un-American order
simrly because he has not permitted it
to dictate his policy as governor OF the
great com monwealth OF Ohio. True, he
has ignored it, in that he has pursued
a lust and unbiased policy, making his
selections of men for adm illustrative aids
wholly with reference to their fitness,
and wholly without reference to their
religious afiliation. If that be an OF
tense, then is Mr.. Mckinley an offender.

The most important was the step taken for
fire protection. We obtained permission from
the Calumet and Hecla mining company TO
TAP their Calumet Dam water man and have
lald nearly 5UOO feet OF 6-ineh east iron ppe.
This we found was the least amount of pine
we could get along with and cover the terri
tory i'm the village limits with any degree of
| thoroughness The pipe has been laid with a
| view OF extending same in different directions
| through the village, either for public or priv-
| ate use, rs necessity may require. Owing to
the low price Ok material ana the close bidding
| OF the contractors doing tho work, we were
able to make This improvement at "A very reo-
sonable figure; about 5000 being expcudod
| FOR this work. In addition 20 this should lie
| added the cost OF ten hydunts, purchased by
the council the previous year. amounting 10

purposes. We have Incorporated the "Volun-
teer Fire Company ana bought for their use
900 feet OF fire hose, costing Sf36 90 a hose cart
at cost OF slj and hose sleigh costing SIS.
We have alsoe rected an addition 10 the Town

cost Of 2i!a cents per foot for 4-foot walk.
OF the above amount OF sidewalk, 2tuO feet |
