THE CO. OPERATIVE COTTON.
WEALTH.

Debs now proposes to lead 100000
men to the state of Washington tC
commence his socialistic schemes
The class of men whom Mr.. Debs will
lead there will not as whole be much
of benefit to that far off state. OF
course there will be some good men
among them, men who are doubtless
level-headed on practical matters, but
they will not be in control nor have
much of voice in the affairs OF the
so-called Cooperative Commonwealth.
To carry out this scheme he has just
dissolved the American Railway
Union, with which he attempted to
wreck the business interests of the
nation a few years ago, and will at
tempt to merge it into his new or
ganization. He would like also to
break up other labor organizations
and secure their membership in his
new organization, but in this he will
of course fail, just as he will fail in
turning into it the total membership
of the Railway Union, Many OF these
men know Debs better than they did
four or five years ago.
or course there are many dlsap'
pointed ones who are ready for any
thing. They would like to see present
institutions overturned, and social.
ism established in their place. They
have no idea as to whether it would
be a success or not, perhaps some OF
them do not care. Of course if Mr..
Debs starts out he will get many fol
lowers to his socialistic army, but it
is more than likely to result good
deal like Coxey's army and prove
more of detriment to the country
then a benefit. From the hardships
and failure of it, it will be the fol-
lowers who will suffer. and not Mr..
Debs, just as was the case in his i'll
advised strike in 1894.

LAKE WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Fishing Is Good and Visitors Are
Numerous.
The rains of last week raised Lake
Washington six or eight inches. 1t is
now higher than it has been for years
at this season of the year.
Duncan Slater, of ST. Peter, is camp
ing near F. R. Volk's hotel for the
summer. He has purchased a fine
cat rugged sail boat, the Aurelia, at
Lake Calhoun, and had it trans.
ported to Lake Washington last week.
1t is fine vessel, will carry twenty
people, and is controlled with great
ease. Mr.. Slater has spent good
share of his life on the water and is
an expert sailor. Those who visit the
lake and want sail can now be &C.
cOmmOdated.
Miss Mae Carney and Miss Laura
Beatty are spending few days at Mr..
Volk's.
Geo. A. Hoagland, of Omaha, who
is shending a few weeks at Mr.. VoIk's,
caught fine string of dozen black
bass Saturday. One weighed six
pounds. The bass have been back
ward about taking the hook this sea-
son, but it is believed that the season
is now on.
Mr.. Volk has added fine new boat,
made in St. Paul, to his fleet.
A number of Mankato people were
at the hotel Sunday and during the
past week.
w. B. Davies and wife had great
uck fishing Saturday evening, bring
ing home 100 fish. When these two
anglers cannot catch enough for the
neighbors it is because the fish are not
biting.
Fred Force and Frank Brewer
caught fine string of fish day or so
ago, including four pound pike.
Sheep head are beginning to bite.
Their purring noise can be heard any
evening on the lake, sounding like
the distant rush of a heavy train of
cars. Some large fellows have been
taken out, and are as gamey as bass.
Despite the heavy rains, the roads
are as good as could be desired.

WALLACE AND MORTON.

Gen, Lew Wallace, Of Indiana, has
announced himself as candidate for
senator from that state to succeed
Senator Turpie. The general is capa-
BILE of leading a strong campaign, and
the possibilities of electing Republi-
can legislature that will choose him,
ought to be good. The Sioux City
Journal relates the following incident
in his career at opening of the war,
that we'll illustrates the broad mind
edness Of the man:
'Gen. Lew Wallace has always been
an ardent Democrat before the war,
but he was not secesSioniSt. He was
at outs with Gov. Morton, who be-
came the "war governor" of Indiana,
and one of the marked men Of the ma
tiOn, and was not even on speaking
terms with him. AS the crisis ap-
preached there was a conference of
leading democrats from all over the
state. Wallace was late in arriving,
and it was noticed that he did not
stay long, but arose and abruptly left
the meeting. A little afterwards
Judge Wick, one of the democratic
managers of great influence, met
Wallace and asked him why he had
left the meeting so soon, and got this
reply: Judge, if you want an honest
answer, will tell you. l gathered
from the talk | heard that it was the
purpose to deliver the democratic
party and the state of Indiana over
to the south, and l could not agree to
that. If that is democracy, judge,
cen safely say am no longer demo.
craft The judge urged and expostu-
lated in vain. Wallace went directly
to the state house to see Gov. Morton,
and to offer his services for the union
if they should be needed. Notwith-
standing their bitter personal alien
alton, that masterful man rose and
advancing toward Wallace, greeted
him kindly, saying: Lew, you have
been long coming to see me, but l
knew you would come some day
Wallace told the governor what some
of the democratic leaders were con-
spring to do, and said that if he was
ever needed, telegram would be all
that was necessary. Gov. M orton's
eyes filled with tears, and the two
men parted with a cordial hand grasp.
Several weeks later, while Wallace
was addressing jury at Frankfort, a
telegram was handed to him. 1t was
from Gov Morton. Wallace broke off
his argument unfinished, and that
night was with Gov. Morton at Indi;;
annapolis. Fort Sumter had been tiTsO :
on that day. The north was thrilled
with the news. Abraham Lincoln
had called for $4,000 volunteers. Gov.
Morton made Wallace, who had a
military education and who had served
through the Mexican war, adjutant
general, and before breakfast he was
raising six regiments. He was pro-
missed command of the first regiment
that could 60 to the field, and with
this in few weeks he started to the
front. His military record is part
of the history of the war. But from
the night he entered the state house
to see Gov. Morton, long his political
and personal enemy, the two men be-
came as brothers, and nothing but the
death of Indiana's great war governor
ended their intimacy"
