General Notes and Comments.

1t has been interesting read
ING to note the various comments
on the bolt of the Hon. Chas. A.
Towne from the ranks of repub.
licanism and his sudden transit
ton into the affections of the
populistic camp. Mr.. Towne's
immediate future is not a matter
of conjecture, even though he
should carry another Mexican
dollar with him in his campaign
this fall, his probable nominal
ton and election on a combina-
ton ticket being admitted by
many who are directly opposed
to him in his monetary views,
AS as man of honesty Of purpose
and courageous convictions, Mr..
Towne is certainly entitled to
admiration, and we do not be.
lieve the bombastic TRADES
against him IN some of our ex-
changes will ever rebound to his
discredit.
There is no attempt to dis
guise the fact that the shooting
of moose in the vicinity of Hib
bing is becoming quite common.
And while the sport is INDUCED
in to quite an extent by people
who should set a better example,
it is none the less a violation of
the law and should be stopped.
The law prohibiting the killing
of moose for a certain period
was made for the purpose of
preserving this specie of game
and every good citizen should
feel an interest in upholding
such a law. While the News
would not like to see anyone in
trouble by reason Of their indis.
erection in letting their love of
sport run away with their sense
of law and duty, we believe that
there should be some effort made
to enforce the law in this mat
ter.-News.

a big find on the Lake of the

He uncovered at least 20 feet of

CLOUGH THE NOMINEE,

Pau! almost Unanimous in its Choice.
The republican convention at
St. Paul on Wednesday for the
purpose of nominating state Of
ficers was one Of those unani-
nous affairs where but little of
the strife so often shown in po-
]itical conventions was allowed
to crop out, the nanipulators of
the Clough machine having got
ten things SO completely their
own way that any opposition
which may have been there was
powerless in the extreme, the
first ballot resulting in 874 votes
TO-: David NJ. Clough as against
272 for the balance Of the field.
This was the result expected by
any who had kept tab on the
political pot, the Clough com.
bination winning out against the
united efforts of a half dozen as
pirants.
The state ticket as nominated
is as follows:
For Governor-David NJ. Clough.
For Lieutenant Governor-John l.. Gibbs.
For Secretary of State-Albcrt Berg.
For Treasurer-Aug. T. Koerner.
For Attorney General-Ienry W. Childs.
The platform adopted by the
convention was as follows:
We, the Republicans of Mimi
esota, IN convention assembled.
renew our pledges of loyalty to
the party of liberty and pro-
gress, and rejoice that the hour
is near at hand for the deliver
ance of our country from the
evils of Democratic misrule.
We endorse most heartilyethe
platform adopted by our nation
al Republican convention at St.
Louis, and pronounce it to be
our rule Of action and our politi-
cal creed; and to the principles
which it so fifty declares we
pledge Cur unqualified support.
It is our pleasure and pride
that tho greatest apostle of the
Republican faith since Abraham
Lincoln, William Mckinley, has
been selected as Our leader in
the coming conflict, and we glad
ly promise to Mckinley and Ho-
bart the electoral vote of Mimi
esota.
We endorse the good, practi-
cal, businesslike administrator
Of Governor David M. Clough,
and commend him for his manli-
ness in office, his prompt and ef-
ticient measures for the suppress
sion of crime, and for his fidel-
ity to all the interests of the
state.
We believe IN the construction
and maintenance of good roads
throughout the state, and will
promote the enactment of suit
able Legislation to that end.
We favor the taxation of I'M
used railroad land in accordance
with the provisions of the An.
derson bill, now before the peo-
pie.
We recognize the just claims
of the laboring classes aid their
equal rights to the benefit and
protection Of the law.
we call upon the cltlzenS OF
the commonwealth to unite with
US in restoring to our country
the blessings of prosperity
which we SO long enjoyed under
Republican rule, and the uphold.
ing of the credit of our state and
nation at home and abroad by
the wise and patriotic and vigor-
our measures and principles by
which the Republican party has
ever been guided. .-.#. H.. =.

In the Proposed Scheme He Sees Only
the Wreck of the Republican
Party.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The atten-
tion Of Senator Quay having been called
to the interview Of Thomas Dolan, pub
-lished in Philadelphia this morning. he
said:
MY views upon the connection be-
tween business and politics were men
toned in a speech at q Republican
meeting in Pittsburg a few days pre-
vious to the presidential election. I
am opposed to the entire scheme of
the National Business Mems league,
as disclosed by Mr.. Dolan. It's basic
theory Is that organized wealth shall
dictate high office and so take possess
sion of the government. It will be met
as stubobrnly and overthrown as dis
astrously as Bryanism. Bryan invoked
the masses against the classes. The
promoters of this league invoke class
against the masses and all other class
es. No league of business men, or other
men, based upon wealth or other foun-
dation, can erect governing class in
this country. In the United States sem
ate we have millionaires and business
men enough to serve all legitimate pur-
poses.

MIN to accept one of the most irnnor-

the senator will accept is a matter OF
serious DOUBT. Some of his friends
assert that he would prefer to remain
IN the senate. 1t is said, too. by the
senator's friends, that all of the dis.
tlnction that attaches to a cabinet
position already has been fully achiey

Jerome B. Drew. a grain buyer and
retired feed merchant, residing at 314
Oak street southeast, was the victim
of a fatal shooting yesterday. About
II o'clock he went into the barber
and Washington avenue south, had a
shave, and after reading the paper
for a short time, stepped into the
toilet room. In a few minutes, the
people in the barber shop heard
shot and cries of help" They rushed
into the toilet room and found Drew,
groaning on the floor with his arms
hugging his abdomen and exclaiming,
go get some one; I'm shot" A physi-
clan was summoned Immediately, but
before he arrived the unfortunate man
was dead.
Examination brought to light smok-
ing revolver, 81 caliber, and of the
cheapest kind; one Of those death deal
ing instruments that go off at the
least provocation. A hole through the
pocket, which was burned and smoked
from the explosion, showed that the
weapon had been discharged in his
pocket, purely accidentally. The bull
let had entered the front Of the abdo-
men, going upward, and no doubt
reached a lodging place in the region
of the heart. From papers found on
the body, the identity Of the man was
discovered.
Mr.. Drew was known as a quiet
temperate man, and there is not the
least doubt but that the shot was ac-
cidental. Coroner Kistler was sum-
moned, and after hasty examination
and questioning of the persons who
first reached the body, had the remains
removed to the county morgue.
Mr. Drew was about flfty-five years
of age, leaves wife and child about
seven years old. His father-in-law is
William S. Flemming, POI Harvard
street southeast. He has several
brothers. one being the late William s.
Drew, Of Winona. Mr.. Drew was en-
years ago, at Bristol, S. d. Since then
he has been travelling for different
grain firms in Minneapolis, among
these being Martin & Wyman, Kirk,
Bride & Palmer, and F. H. Peavey &
Co. He was quite well-known among
the grain men, although not a mem
Der of the chamber of commerce. For
some time past he has been without
employment, but his friends say that
he was not discouraged and always
appeared pleasant and cheerful sell
dom complaining of the hard times,
although he did say several times that
he would like to sell his home on Oak
street. His friends are surprised, how
ever, that he should be carrying q
revolver, as he was never known to
do such a thing, and as for taking his
life, he had a horror of that

NEW BRAM8EL PATENTS.
Two Important Inventions by the
Rotary Engine Man.


SLEEPY EYE, MINI, Dec. S.-Grant
Brambel inventor of the rotary engine
that has created a sensation, has Just
filed caveat for patent that will be
exceedingly popular.
This latest device is an automatic
a1rbrake coupler, a simple piece of
mechanism that does away with the
rubber coupling between cars. The
Brambel coupler is SO arranged that
when cars come together to be coupled
the air brake couples itself, opens the
valves automatically and there re-
mains, accommodating itself to the up
and down and swinging motion of the
train while in motion. When desired
to uncouple the car, all that has to be
done is to lift the lever for the steel
coupler and the automatic air brake
arrangement closes its own valve and
moves forward without any more at
tention. 1t completes the series of
automatic railway appliances and does
away with some hazards due to rubber
connections.
Another Of Mr.. Brambel's patents is
his arcodescent electric system, some
time ago referred to by him as a big
ger thing than his engine. 1T is sci
entif1c and mechanical arrangement
that permits of two separate currents
from one arnature and commutator
In the systems now used there must be
separate dynamos where both arc, and
incandescent lights are desired, or else
the light is furnished in series. The
new system combines in one dynamo
both currents, permitting the drawing
off Of current for either arc or incan-
descent lighting. The new dynamo is
attracting the attention of electricians
all over the country, but Mr.. Brambel
has refused all offers for the sale of the
patent, preferring to introduce it him

The report published in Chicago that
Mr. Brambel had received the money
from the Allen syndicate on their offer
for his engine is untrue. They have till

MILLIONS in FREIGHTs.
Traffic of Lake superior for the Sea-
son Of Navigation.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 8.-The sea-
son OF Lake Superior navigation clos
ed yesterday, a remarkably late date
for such q wintry fall, though last
years close was Dec. II. 1t has been
a remarkable season all through, many
interesting features having. beer e.
taehed to the year 1889 OH the Great
Lakes. Never lad there been such a
volume of traffic, and had the iron
ore trade not fallen off markedly in
the later months this unprecedented
volume would have been Increased
by another million tons. 1t has been
a season of low freights, and the rate
of LA mills per ton per mile. made
in 1895, has been quite materially de-
creased. It has been a year of larger
ships deeper channels and greater
cargoes than ever known, and it has
seen q grain movement utterly beyond
all comparison. The passenger traffic
Of the canal exceeded by about SO per
cent any preceding year.
One chief feature of interest In the
years business has been the grain
traffic, so great as to make up for the
loss in ore and add over million tons
to the business of 1895. In all, $685.
600 bushels, of which 63000,000 were
wheat, have been carried out of Lake
Superior, or about two and half mil
lion tons There have also been car
ried down $780, 200 barrels of flour,
equal to 80, 000 600 bushels of wheat.
The enormous quantity of 500, 600 600
feet of lumber has gone through the
canal eastward, while 100000 tons Of
coal have been carried west These
are merely the larger items Of traffic.
Among the smaller items were 116, 900
tons of refined copper, valued at about
$23, 100000, besides silver, manu-
factured and pig iron, and
a great quantity of merchandise The
total tonnage of the year was 16, 100, 900
tons, and it was carried on 18,445 yes
sells. More than $4,000 passen-
gers were given transportation
up or down. The chief single item of
freight, of course, was iron ore, of
which 100000 gross tons were sent
from Lake Superior ports.
Little idea of the immensity of these
figures can be gathered by reading
them, nor will comparisons aid great
ly. The value of the stuff carried into
or out Of Lake Superior in the year
can scarcely have been less than $780,
100000, and of the half dozen largest
items individually referred to above it
has been fully $3.50, ,OO0, ,O00
Notwithstanding the exceedingly low
freight rates Of the year, it is esti-
mated that about $4,000, 900 have
been paid to lake ship owners
for freight carried to and from Lake
Superior alone during the year.

was announced that the delegation had
not decided to support any of the can

to the course to be pursued. The city
of Minneapolis needs so much in the
way of legislation, that it is more than
probable that none of the speakership
possibilities will be formally indorsed.
Mr. Smith is still in the attitude of

did not live in Hennepin county, and
Judge Hicks does not care whether he
lives in Minneapolis or elswhere; if
the legislature wants him, he is willing
to serve. The claims Of the other cam
