The following Guestjels have
been asked Frank Day the Joint
Candidate for member Of Congress
in the columns Of the Mankato
News. First Do you, life long
protectionist endorse the Democrat
ic doctrine Of free trade, and antag-
onize the Mckinley tariff which
you have always defended, altogether
with its beneficial reciprocity pro-
vision? Please answer definitely
and do not evade.
Second, Do you endorse the
sentiments contained in the Chi
cago platform in effect condemning
the federal authorities for using
the military power to quell a riot
that destroys private property, hold
up the United States mail, threaten
the existence Of a great city, jeo-
pardizes thousands Of human
lives, and stagnates business, both
public and private? Answer in
point black English. Don't quib-
BILE and say that there is nothing
Of that kind in the platform, be-
cause it is there and you know it
is. Ifyou don't know read between
the lines and you will see it
Third, DO you approve Of the
direct assault Of the Chicago plat
form on the federal courts? IF
you do, why do you? Fourth. Do
you approve to tie act Of the Chi
cago convention in refusing to
adopt the amendment offered by
Senator Hill providing that full
legal tender silver should not be
forced upon the holders of existing
government contracts? In other
words, are you a repudiationist?
Fifth, Are you still Of the same
opinion that you were when you
wrote that letter to Nebraska say
ing that every one who would not
vote for Bryan should be shot before
breakfast? If you are, do you not
think that the words, II am a
Weyler" would better express
your sentiments than the illustri-
Gus words of Senator Hill, towit;
81 am Democrat?"
Sixth, Finally, are you stand
ing right squarely on the Democ-
ratio platform in it's entirety, or
are you endeavoring to keep one
foot on it, one on the Republican
platform and caressing the Pop
ulist first between? Mr.. Day can
answer these through his paper so
that the people may know where
he is at.

A clause of the Democratic plat.

A clause of the Democratic plat
form of 1888, reads as follows:
Every democratic rule Of COVER
mental action is violated when,
through unnecessary taxation, a
vast sum of money far beyond the
needs Of an economical admins
tration is drawn from the people
and the channels of trade and &C.
cumulated as demoralizing sur
plus IN the national treasury.
The money now lying idle in
the general treasury resulting
from superfuous taxation, a.
mounts to more.than one hundred
and twenty five millions, and the
surplus collected is reaching the
sum of more than sixty millions
annually. Debauched by this i'm
mense temptation, the remedy OF
the republican party is to meet
and exhaust by extravaganza ap-
preparation and expense, whether
constitutional or not, the accum-
ulation of extrayagant taxation.
The democratic policy is to in
force frugality in public expense
and abolish.unnecessary taxation. "
In the above they have denounc-
ed the very methods, the destruc-
ton of which has depleted our
treasury and brought on the fnan-
cial panic. The government has
been borrowing $2OO,000,0O0
year to replace the surplus which
they sought to destroy in 1888,
and are now trying a new method
Of replenishing the treasury which
all fnanciers agree will not be eff
cacious. Why not return to the
prosperous condition of affairs by
the same channel they followed in
leaving prosperity for the hard
times.

The Democrats can rightly be
termed calamity howlers, they

Lack of Proof.

A story is told of a prominen
American lawyer who was a fine
speaker and wit, but 80 fond of me.
tapysical distinctions that a colleague
one day read him a lesson never to be
forgotten by any one who knew him.
He told the jury the following story,
the moral of which was at once ap.
parent:
Ny friend -. said he, who is so
successful in fine-spun distinctions,
was once employed to defend an old
man for shooting neighbours dog.
The proof was clear that the defend
ant said he would shoot the dog; that
he brought out the gun in open day
and loaded it; that he took deliberate
aim at the dog, and that at the crack
of the rifle the dog fell dead with a
bullet-hole through bin.
But the lawyer contended that this
was an instance of circamstantial evil
dence merely, and that in such cases
it was well settled that If a single link
in the chain was wanting, the whole
evidence was worthless and although
there was proof of the threat, the
loading of the gun, the firing and the
death of the dog, yet" said he,
"what witness testified that he saw
the bullet hit the dog?"

Stop for stay-stop means to arrest
motion; stay means to remain where
arrested; therefore you stop at the
railway station, but you do not usual
ly stay there. You also stop at a
hotel and stay there or not, as the case
may be but while you are there, you
stay, not stop.
Ice-water, ice-cream, for iced water,
iced -cream-There is no such thing
properly as either ice-water or ice
cream.
Widow is necessarily woman. 1t
would, indeed, be quite as well to
mention female lady.
Those sort for that sort-"Those
sort of men, for example, is incorrect.
The pronoun belongs to sort, not to
men, hence "Tbst sort of men" is COR
rect.
Catch (pronunced katch, not ketch)
is frequently misused for reach. You
cannot really catch a train of cars !;
you may reach 1t or get to it or catch
up with it; you may catch some per.
son who is in it, or you may catch the
measles, but you cannot catch car.
Get means to attain possession by
voluntary eXertion man may, there
fore, get a wife, or gets fortune, but
he cannot dramatically get left, nor
can he get black eye.
Grow means to increase, hence it
is improperly used to express dimin-
ish; therefore, you cannot grow thin
you become thin and grow stout.
Expect, for suppose, or think, is
wrong; for example, 81 expect he did
so and So" To expect is to look for
ward; you cannot expect backward.

A lesson from the Rhode Island
,po ultry show is that the attention
giveH 20 the purely practical side OF
the Poultry industry by the associa-
citation had reflex influence upon the
fancier and stimulated him to exhibit
the more practical breeds and varie-
ties more freely than ever before.
And there is little DOUBT that the asso-
citation which succeeds in bringing
siie fsncier and practical poultrymsn
into closer touch with each other is
the one that is best accomplishing the
true end for which such associations
exist The fancier needs the practical
poultry raiser, and the latter cannot
do without the former. They are
anutually helpful. and much of the APP
qaNnt antsgonism existing between
&hem would disappear If they could
aud wonld know each other better.--

A Broader Market Sought.

The fruit growers of the Pacific
coast are brought face to face with the
necessity of widening the market for
their products in some manner and
various methods looking n this end
have been resOrted to. Splendid and
admirable exhibits have been made at
international and state fairs; exhibit
ton cars have been sent throughout
many parts of the country, and vari-
Gus advertising schemes adopted.
Still as the output of fruit has in
creased, the price has fallen and it is
evident that consumption has not kept
pace with production. Another effort
is TO be mske to directly reach the
consumer, aud to this end large
meeting of the fruit growers of
the state has heen held at San Jose,
The meeting was largely attended and
in all respects representative body,
committees from various fruit organi-
cations and numbers Of the leading
fruit growers of the State being pres
ent
A very general discussion in which
various methods of bringing the
grower and consumer into closer re-
lations and of more generally reaching
the latter class was held, and the work
of the sessionSoncluded with the APP
pointment of committee of seven
members, TO which the fruit unions of
the state are to add one member each.
