NOT A CANDIDATE.

Rumor has connected the name of
Charles A. Pillsbury with the candi-
dacy of the United States senate to
succeed Senator Davis, for more than
a year, and his recent retirement from
the active management of the great
milling property in Minneapolis, with
which he has been SO long identified
has given renewed energy to such ru-
mors. But he disavows any intention
to enter the field. He very gracefully
endorses Mr.. Davis in the following
interview with the Journals reporter:
my retirement had no connection
with anything of hekind you suggest
my candidacy for the United States
senate. | am trying to get out, not
into trouble. If l took up politics [
should consider myself as cultivating
trouble. Outside of Minneapolis am
not aware of any hue and cry for my
entrance into the senatorial race, nor
do anticipate any such expression.
$50 far as know the people of the
state and country are pretty we'll sat
isfed with Senator Davis. There will
be time enough for me when there is a
great popular demand for my election.
That seems TO me to be extremely un-
likely. My intention is to seek rest in
travel as soon as can arrange my
business, and a trip, and want to go

. CONGRESSMAN .HEATWOLE, who by
the way, is a keen observer and has
the commendable fault of saying what
he means and meaning what he says,
has given out the following to a cor
respondent:
Owing to the improvement in the
financial and business situation in the
United States there is und oubtedly
more conservative sentiment regard
ing our relations with outsidecountries
and this applies particularly to Cuba.
In very hard times the bravado spirit
is loosed and men are willing to rush
into any sort of movement that prom
ises change and excitement. Undoubt-
edly more moderate spirit prevails
today, so that unless we know a great
deal more than we know now, there is
no reason to apprehend change in
the present policy. l am always, how
ever, in favor of protecting American
interests in every corner of the globe,
and we should do it as promptly in
Cuba as anywhere else. In my opin-
ion congress should get through it's
routine work by May l and adjourn.
The smallest amount of legislation
will be OF the greatest benefit to the
country, and if we can finish and go
home by that date good many mil
lion OF our countrymen will rise up
and call us blessed.

CONGRESSMAN PAGE MORRIS i

CONGRESSMAN PAGE MORRIS Is
either very fortunate man or keen
and shrewd politician, providing, OF
course he is candidate for reflect
ion. He has succeeded in getting the
St. Cloud Times to abuse him rOundly
in season and out of season. That
fact alone is sufficient to guarantee his
success at the polls. When Towne
ran for congress the first time and
was elected as a republican by 10000
and more, the Times denounced him as
an A. P. A., sneered at him as an al
legged orator, as the ''young man.
from Duluth, all froth and noise.
That settled it. TOwne's election
came easy after that. Two years later
this same Towne was none of those
things he was charged with being just
before. No, he was the ablest, purest
broadcast minded PATRIOTIC democracy
had embraced within its folds since
the days of Jefferson and Jackson.
Then it was that Page Morris was all
that Towne was motor nearly all
and that elected Morris. And now
this same Morris is ''the little rebel, "
the ''repudiator, and before the next
election will probably have joined the
A. P. A., and done a whole lot of
other things equally as heinous. That
settles it-Morris will be elected by a
largely increased majority, if he shall
be a candidate. He is a shrewd one.

Mayor Ran DALI remarks were warmly
received aud generously applauded.
A quartette, composedof DIR. Niokerson
and Messrs Hall, Pierce and Mcdonald,
then sang in pleasing manner and dur
ing the evening they rendered several
appropriate selections to the delight of
the large gathering.
The first speaker of the evening was
Rev. A. H. Wright who delivered most
impressive address. He said that it was
great privilege to be able to show his
appreciation of Neal Dow. the man, and
of the great work he has accomplished
for the good of mankind. Neal Dow
and prohibition are interchangeable and
convertible terms They each express
the same idea aud stand for the same
principles. For &c years they have Teen
together like cause and effect, like the
its light. AS was Wilberforce to the
abolition of the slave trade movement, as
was Garrison to the anti slavery cause,
as was Abraham Lincoln to the Union,
SO has heen Neal Dow to prohibition. He
has been prohibition inoarnate. He be-
gan his career at 20. At the age of ~ he
was thinking of legal prohibition of the
liquor traffic. His idea was to put Oh
the traffic the stigma of crime and to
defile the brow Of the saloon keeper with
the mark Of a criminal. The victory of
Righteousness came to Neal Dow at the
age of IS and his second great victory
came 80 years later at the age of 81, when
the principle of prohibition was placed
in the c0nstitu ton of the state These
33 years were broken only by the war in
which he entered as colonel and came
out a brigadier general. He received the
bullets of the battlefield and endured the
honors Of Libby prison. His journey
through England was termed the march
of the moral monarch. The speaker re-
ferred to Neal BOWS magnetic power OF
oratory and said that no man living mr.
dead has done more TO put down the
rum tratfice than has he. He is an hon.
ored son of Maine. the apostle of tenn
peranco, an anti slavery agitator patriot

single case having resulted in pneumo-

MEAL DOW
The reading of this letter was loudly
applauded and enthusiastically applaud
ed.
Hon. Joshua Bailey of Philadelphia,
president of the National Temperance
Association was present and said after
paying graceful tribute to Neal Dow
that those who knew Maine as 1t was 50
years ago before the enactment of prohib-
itorY laws would hardly recognize it today
so great had been the reforms He ssaid
that today he had gone through Center
street. There were doubtless plenty
of saloons there. but they were hidden
away from the eyes Of those on the street.
In the centre of Maine there we're middle
aged mon and women who had grown
up from childhood without having seen
drunken person. Hiding the evil away
in obscure corners was blessing in It,
self and in Portland children could walk
the streets without fear OF contamination
from the salo on. The speaker thought
that by education the evil could finally
be abolished. He held Neal Dow up AS
q signal example Of what total alb
stinenoe could do for man personally.
Rev. J. B. Dunn Of New York was the
next speaker and delivered an eloquent
temperance address. The meeting closed
