fact and another fact will make three
facts and we suspect that this Is one
Of the times. Mr.. Cleveland EXTENDED
the civil service by adding rule tna*
applicants for appointment in the con-
sular service should pass an examina-
ton to see if they possessed the reQui-
site qualifications for the discharge OF
the duties of the office. Mr.. Dowl-
ings mission to Washington was TO
secure the appointment OF his ralner-ah-
law as consul. Mr. Bowling returns
without the appointment and with a
view about the civil service quoted
above. 1t is quite apparent that Mr.
Bowling struck snag in Washington,
that the civil service rule relative to
consular appointments was the snag,
and that he has a very poor opinion of
the snag in consequence. The view OF
the father-in-law would be somewhat
interesting. Sometimes sons-in-law and
fathers-in-law are not harmonious in
their views. but we are inclined to
believe that this instance would be one
of those exceptions that are said to
prove the rule. We may now expect
that the league, when it meets in ma
tional convention next July, will adopt
a resolution expressing it's emphatic
diSapprOyal Of the civil service act and

A judicious protective tariff, by it's invari-
able tendency to promote manufacturing and
the mechanical trades and in the profess
sions. Not a single American industry is
without encouragement under the protective
system.-Minneapolis Journal.
1t is probably fortunate, rather than
otherwise, that the writer of the above
has an enviable ability to obscure any
ideas that he may have by singularity
of speech. What he actually says
means nothing at all. What he is try
ing to say appears to be that manu-
featuring is the basis and foundation
of all industry. According to him, the
manufacturer is the original working
man, and out Of his labor comes the
production of all wealth. This is the
theory and the last analysis of all adj
vocates of protection. It is opposed
to reason, common sense and facts. The
basic industry of a community is ag-
riculture. It is the first to be prose-
cuted in the order of development, and
upon the prosperity or adversely of the
farmer depends in the last event the
condition of nation. The primary
demand of the human being is for food,
and the producer Of food should be the
one to receive protection, if protection
is given to anybody. He is precisely
the man who, in the United States, gets
no benefit from the protective system,
and never can.
The theory laid down by the Journal
is, as it very we'll knows, pure moon
shine. 1t is Of a piece with the as
sumption that when the employer is
authorized by high tariff to collect
a lot of money from people he will
then voluntarily divide this money
among his employees. 1t is the most
gigantic humbug ever conceived by
the mind of man, and the wonder is
that it is not held exclusively by the
beneficiaries of protection, but has &C
tually imposed itself upon many other
wise intelligent and well-meaning peo-
pie ~

MIR. BOWLING HAS VIEWS.

M. J. Bowling adds to the distinction
of being a Minnesota editor the minor
prominence of being secretary Of that
political superfuity heretofore known
as the National League Of Republican
Clubs, an organization now moribund
that it was no good for party pur-
poses even as an ornamental append
age to the national machine. If the
league figures in history at all the re-
corder will note that it reaches it's
greatest altitude with the accession
of Mr.. Bowling as it's chief scribe
But all that is another matter. Dowl-
ing has recently been in Washington.
Dispatches from there announced his
arrival as among the important events
Of the day; told Of his visit to the
president and consultation with that
gentleman; assured the remaining
famished Minnesotans that Mr.. Dowl-
ing wanted no appointment from this
administration for himself. but later
informed the country that Mr.. Bowling
merely wished to obtain the appoint
ment of his father-in-law to some con-
sulate. Whereupon there was grief in
the breasts of the five hundred Mime
sotans whose aspirations and hopes
of sustenance were also fixed upon
consular appointments. But again,
that is another story.
Mr.. Bowling has returned to Mime
sofa, and, very properly, has given to
the readers of the G l o b his views.
for Mr.. Bowling has views They are
not branded original, however; in fact
they bear the Washington label, which
is now coming to be the Republican
label. He discovered his views there
and brought them back with him.
He is said to hold them, but not so
tenaciously that he did not let the
generous fellow he will probably let his
fellow Republican saviors of society
have a share Of them. One of them he
scatters among them with a free hand

HIS FORTUNE LOST.
A New York Veteran Cnvalryman
Seeks Aid Here.

A New York Veteran Cavalryman
Seeks Aid Here.
A pathetic incident occurred yester-
day in the Office at the capitol, OF sec.
rotary Beebee, Of the state soldiers
home. It appears that Frank Johnson.
a native Of Buffalo, N. Y, had left
that place for Spokane some years ago,
and by dint Of hard work and close
attention to business had accumulated
haps $4,000, but which he lost in the
financial crash, which struck that
Western city in 1893.
Before his last dollar was gone, he,
with his two sons, both grown, returned
to Buffalo thinking he could recoup his
fortunes in business where he was
known. But luck was against him,
and he, accompanied by his eldest son,
is now on his way back to the Pacific
coast. He has been here just week
looking for employment here. Put to
the worst, he applied Saturday night
to the meeting of Acker post for finan-
cial or other relief, but was told that
the post could do nothing for him, al
though he is armed with his papers
showing he was private in the
Eleventh New York cavalry, which was
in the Army of the Potomac. He Is
also a member of the Sedgewick post
at Spokane, and carries with him a
transfer ticket. His wife and second
son are in Buffalo daily awaiting the
news that he has found employment
and will send for them. Instead he
finds that the information that the
West is better off than the East, is at
least misleading, and yesterday after a
brief interview with Mr.. Beebee, the
unfortunate man upon whom Fortune
once smiled brightly, was given trans
portation to the coast and will start
some time today with his boy.

The Washington Star, which has no par
ticular political affiliations, and which is in
a position to render unbiased Judgment, re-
marks that one feature of the present dis
tribution of official patronage is the alb
sence of all complaints of bad faith or re-
pudiated pledges. This is certainly graf
flying information to everybody except to
the opposition faultfinders, who have all
along alleged that everything in sight was
mortgaged to secure McKinsey's election
Minneapolis Tribune.
We fail to catch the connection between
the statement of the Star and the conclusion
of the Tribune. The opposition faultfnders''
might point to the same conceded facts as
confirmation Of their assertion that every
thing had been mortgaged and that the pledges
were being carried out, the mortgages being
redeemed so faithfully that no complaints
were justifable. It would seem, therefore,
that the condition should crafty the "fault-
finders and dissatisfy the laudators who
denied the giving in mortgage.

LEApED FROM A WINDOW.
Daniel Longs Second Sensation at
St. JOseph's Hospital.


St. Joseph's Hospital.
Daniel Long. who attempted to kill
himself in a fit of temporary insanity
at st. Joseph's hospital Sunday after
noon, made an attempt to escape from
the institution at half past 9 o'clock
last night by jumping from second
story window. After vain effort to
lodge three bullets in his brain Sun
day, Long appeared to regain his nor
NAL mental condition and asked to be
allowed to remain at the hospital. His
revolver was taken from him and his
request was complied with. He was
given a room on the second floor and
was apparently all right until last
evening, when the attendants were
startled by a sound Of breaking glass,
and ran to Longs room in time to
see him breaking the sash from the
window with chair. Before he could
be restrained the man jumped out of
the window and ran toward the street.
He had sprained his ankle in jumping,
however, and was soon overtaken and
returned to the hospital, where DIR.
Brimhall attended him. Long talked
nationally, but seemed bewildered when
asked the cause Of his strange actions.
He will, by. order of Dr. Brimhan. be
examined in the probate court today.
Meantime he is being closely watched
at the hospital. It is thought that
he was again seized with an attack
OF insanity when he jumped from the
window.

SEEKING NEW HOMES.
Signs of Prosperity Found In Sales
of Land.

Il.
The Great Northern land department notes
a remarkable increase in sales of land to set
tiers in the last two weeks. AS an illustra-
ton of the business done, 1t might be noted
that Loco acres were sold last Saturday.
This land is purchased by actual settlers.
and not by SPECTATORS said Samuel Hill,
in speaking of it. There is a movement
toward the Northwest of the practical farm
ers Of the middle states and Southern Iowa.
They are steady, industrious and frugal
class OF people, who know just what they "
pect to accomplish. They want cheaper and
better land than can be had in other states,
and they make a most desirable class of resi-
dents for Minnesota. 1t is really notable
fact that large proportion of the new set
tiers are those from other states, instead OF
foreign immigrants
This activity in land sales is an encouraging
thing when times are apparently not much
better, because these farmers will all make
an independent living and are eventually like
Hill said he thought many people who are
walking about the large cities looking for an
opening might find a chance to earn COM
Portable living if they would make up their
minds to go to the land, which always repays
industry by giving return of life-sup-
porting material. He said he had been esti-
mating what it cost to start on small piece
of land, and thought man might make
good start with $500 if he were willing to
work and be economical. There is no in
dcation, however, that there will be any ex-
odus from the cities in the near future, but il
the land is settled by good c.ass of expert
enced farmers they viii certainly he valuable
addition to the population of the state.

raised, "brot up" or came here at any
time on or before May II, 1858, will be
there.
No matter how young he was at that
date, nor how long he had been here
at that date, nor how old he was on
May II, 1858, so long as he was not
twenty one Jan. 1. 1850. If twentyone
at that date, Jan. 1, 1850, he belongs
with the Old Settlers association. This
meeting is to be an informal one, and
costs the old boys nothing. Just come
together, shake hands and talk and
find out what you want to, do. No
special invitation has beeni sent to
any one Every old-time boy is wanted
and will be welcomed.
