Senator Butler Says the POpuIist
VIII Carry the South

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Speaking
tonight of Mr.. Watson, the Populist
nominee for vice president, Senator
Butler, the chairman of the Populist
executive committee, said that he no.
ticed decided change in sentiment
towards Mr.. Watson, not only among
the Populists in the West, who favored
Mr.. Sewall, but also among the silver
Democrats Of the South Il think" he
said, this is the beginning of a change
that will continue until the day of cleo
ticn. Probably at no place in the
South is this going on more rapidly
than in Georgia. Mr.. Watson's own
state. The outlook now is that he will
carry Georgia even if the Democrats
elect their state ticket. This change is
also very marked in my own state of
North Carolina, and the outlook is that
Watson will get the electoral vote Of
that state.
''Eevry fair minded man honestly
for silver and who puts silver above

Chicago platform and ticket, realized
as soon as our convention adjourned
that we had improved on the Chicago
ticket The action of our convention

been made, Is of the best grade The
work on Washington is being pushed
as rapidly as possible, and by the end
of the week a much better showing
will undoubtedly be made.
On Third street nothing at all has
been done. this street having been
kept open for travel 1t Is, however,
badly cut up by heavy loads, showing
the result of the extra use. No at
tempt will be made to improve Third
street until after the carnival.
A portion of Fourth street, the block
between Hennepin and Nicollet, also
the block known as Newspaper Row Is
ready for the final coat of asphalt The
concrete bed has been laid between
First and Second avenues, while the
rock has been hauled for the bed the
remainder of the distance to Fourth
avenue south. Here again much labor
has been expended in making the street
car connections at the corner of Fourth
street and First avenue
Fifth street has been completed with
the exception of rods distance, be-
tween Hennepin and First avenue
south, and the grand triumphal arch,
being built by Olson and the New
England store, stands on a portion Of
this surface. Between First and Sec
ond avenues the second coat is being
layed, and the rock has been hauled
over the remaining two blocks.
On Sixth street the pavement is COM
pleted from Hennepin to Second ave-
nue. north, while work along the tracks
from Second to Fourth is being pushed.
Little has been done. however, from
Second to Fourth avenues.
First avenue south is the longest strip
of new pavement that has been laid.
This thoroughfare has been paved COM
nIQtn from SaUnnfh m
Washington with the exception Of a
short distance where the Bloomington
and First avenue car lines join, at
Fourth.
On Second avenue south the con-
crete has been laid, but it is scarcely
possible that much more work can be
done on this street until after the festi-
VAL Second avenue is entirely impas-
sable, and it would be impossible to
cross it except for planking connecting
the alleyways.
Practically nothing has been done
on Third and Fourth avenues except
the hauling Of rock and getting the
street in shape for the crews. And
practically nothing has been done north
of Hennepin except along Washington.
The plan has been to complete those
streets first that are to be used in the
line of march during the carnival, and
so far as possible to get those streets
in order where much decorating is to
be done. The paving is complete about
the Glass block, as 1t is on the Olson
corner. The surface where it has been
completed, is smooth, and seems to
have been well made. When the entire
. work is completed from Washington
to and including Sixth street, and from
Fourth avenue north to Fourth avenue
south, the city of Minneapolis will have
business streets equal to any city in
the country.

DUMB BRUTEs HIS VICTIMS.
Unknown Fiend INDUCES i'm Whole

A fendish atrocity, unsurpassed in it's devil
ish nature in the memory of police, was per-
petrated during Saturday night in the south
western portion of the city. Olaf Anderson,
residing at $500 Eighteenth avenue south, and
A L. Sergeants, living at 3014 Seventeenth
avenue south, both respectable residents,
were the intended sufferers. The villains are
yet at large.
Sergeants was the proud possessor of four

were housed adjoining his barns, and not far
distant from his dwelling. On going to feed
them yesterday morning the four animals lay
dead in their pen. They were horribly cut
and hacked to pieces. Great holes pierced
their heads and bodies, as though of pointed
crowbars, and the deep missions in addition
gave evidence of the use of an ak. A most
singular fact, however, was the total absence
of the least portion of blood. Death had en-

PROGRESS OF PAVING
So Slow That Completion Before
Fair Week Is Doubtful,

The laying of the asphalt pavement
in this city will be far from finished by
the time of carnival week. Despite the
best efforts of the company, with the
present force of men, there will be sew
eral Of the prominent streets on which
work is being done in a very -:nsightly
condition. However, the work of the
past week made a material showing.
and the present week will no doubt
count as well.
Washington avenue is the lowest
street on which the asphalt is being
layed, and at the present time this is
in deplorable condition. Whether
Washington can be put into present
able appearance in the course of a
single week would seem very doubtful.
1t is being paved from Fourth avenue
north as far as Fourth avenue south.
and at present only the block in front
of the Nicollet house is completed.
North Of Hennepin the block pave
ment has all been torn up, but nothing
done to replace it; south Of Nicollet, the
work Of paving has been well started.
The street car tracks are receiving
most of the work the entire distance,
while portion of the street between
the NicoIlet hotel and the Milwaukee
depot has received the first coat of
paving. The work, however, at the

CONGRESS MUST TAKE ACTION
No Probability That a Commissi on ar
VIII Be Appointed by Mr..
Cleveland.

WASHINGTON,Au Aug. 23-The French
government is rapidly perfecting the
details for the International exposition
to be held in Paris in 1900, comment
Grating the birth Of the century, and
in this connection has asked the state
department for the name of the COM
missioner general who will represent
the United States. and for such other
information available as to the par
ticipation of this country To this
Acting Secretary Rockhill has replied
that the commissioner general has not
been named, as the American congress
took no steps at it's recent session to
provide for American representation
at the exposition. He expressed the
belief, however, that the approaching
session of congress will bring about
an acceptance of the invitation of the
French republic.
President Cleveland called the atten-
ton of congress to- the invitation in his
annual message last December, and
expressed the most earnest hope that
steps would be taken for an adequate
representation by the United States
But congress acts slowly on these af-
fairs, and no measure was considered
the idea being that there was plenty
Of time before 1900. It appears, how
ever, that Great Britain, Germany and
other leading powers have been quick
to accept, and the French government
is allotting space to these countries
American exhibitors are beginning to
make inquiry as to where their goods
will go, but no answer can be given
to them. The prospect is that the best
space will be taken before the United
States accepts the invitation and
makes application for space This was
the case at the last exposition, when
American exhibitors were at much dis
advantage in point of location.
1t Is expected in official circles here
that when congress acts it will provide
for a commissioner general and an as
sistant. This was the case at the
last French exposition, when Gen.
Franklin was commissioner general at
salary of $4,000, and the assistant
commissioner received $1,000. The
opinion prevails that as the appointee
will serve after the present admins
tration ends, President Cleveland will
not make the appointment even
though congress passes the act before
March 4 next. Aside from the direct

The twelfth anniversary of the founding of

yesterday with fitting exercises at the Ex-

of harvest festival, and was attended by
about $500 people. The stage was decorated
with sheaves of wheat and oats and other
agricultural products in token of the name
given to the event. In the morning regular
services were held at the hall at which
DR.. O. Olson, Of Augustine college, Rock

o'clock in the afternoon a musical and lit
erary programme was rendered. The musical

mandolin playing Of the Rehl brothers were
excellent, and were enthusiastically applauded

planting of the Scandinavian people in this
country and an outline of their duty as Amer
lean citizens. 1--WE are as tree transpIaDted
In this land, and If the tree is good the fruit

Mr.. Lind's address was masterIy effort
and showed broad and intelligent thinking
His opening remarks gave the key to the
discourse.
Religion has two sides, two consistent
elements which are known as the theoretical
and the practical. Religion consists of re-
Hgfous acts and ideas and not OF dogmas' -
The speaker then proceeded to illustrate his
ideas and then turned to the practical power
OF religion in building up civilization. He
Clteu the TWO most prominent religions Op-
posed to Christianity. Buddhism, with its
fundamental idea that life is not worth
living and was only meant as a scourge
could not, in the face of that idea be a
clvilizer with its attendant progress and ad-
vancement. Mohammedanism exalted the
divinity, and was religion of fear and even
of hate. There being no idea of equality of
man with God, there was consequently no
equality of man with man. The unbeliever
was dog. This prevented progress and en-
nghtenment.
Christianity, with its broad ideas of life
the fact that the acts of man determine his
future, the love and endearing fear of man
for God, made a great equality of man with
man and insured something higher than
life and made progress, intelligence, civiliza-
ton possible. Mr.. Lind spoke for about
twenty minutes and received the closest at
tentfon from the audience.

POLITICS in THE PULPIT.
Rev. David Beach Compares the
Two Party Platforms.


Rev David N. Beach delivered a po-
lit1cal address last evening at the reg
ular evening service of Plymouth
church. The church was nearly filled
with an audience who seemed to listen
very attentively to the views advanced.
The speaker devoted a large portion of
the address to a comparison of the Re-
publican and Democratic platforms
He characterized both as honest, terse
and pointed" He believed that the
people in each convention were thor
oCghly honest as to motive. The Re-
publican platform has for its two chief
issues the tariff and the money ques-
ton. The Democratic platform puts
forth a protest against federal inter-
ference in state difficulties and also
makes the monSy question the i'm
portant issue. It's protest against civil
service should also be considered a
leading issue though there is some
doubt as to whether the latter was
adopted. A strong note underlay each
platform In the case Of the Repub-
licans it is the note of plodding, patient
application of principles supposed to be
ascertained. In the case of the Dem
ocrats it is what the Puritan would
have quantity termed reform without
tarrying." I sympathize with that
feeling temperamentally, but we must
stop to consider whether it is safe to
make a rash leap into the dark be-
cause we are impatient with existing
wrongs. The Republicans are trying
patiently to unite a knot. The Dem
ocrats want to cut the knot. Whether
cutting the knot is the wisest thing 1
do not say. I leave you to think
The speaker briefly discussed the
civil service question and also that of
federal interference, but devoted most
of his argument to the money question.
He said that we want money which
will give an honest measure. If it is
a question Of measuring cloth or wheat
you can get an honest measure, but in
money you cannot because immaterial
things enter and continually change
the material adopted as a measure
Many people believe that for various
reasons gold is the best possible meas
ure. Others believe that we must have
the two measures, one checking the
other. Those who advocate free silver
promise that it will cure all evils. I
don't know whether it will work or
not Nobody knows
There are to my mind two objections
to free silver in case it is adopted
There does not seem to be any provi-
sion for meeting current obligations at
the same value they were assumed
and what is to become Of the working
man if prices go up and his labor is
paid for in cheap dollars? The speaker
thought that the present time is one
Of great anxiety and uncertainty to all
classes alike. He had two pieces
of advice to give. First, to have faith
and look on the bright side Of things
Second, not to hoard money and thus
induce a financial stringency. Third,
to pray and work that all affairs of
men might be raised to a high plane of
Christian endeavor
