tions, and when read one knows Just
what he says and where he stands.
During his term number of very i'm
portant issues have been passed upon by
the court, and to the credit of the entire
bench 1t may be said that great unanim-
lty has prevailed; there has been little
or no conflict of opinion, and especially
in cases where public interests have been
at stake they have been unitcd-a tri-
bunal of the people. free from partisan
ism, and rejecting the highest possible
patriotism and answering integrity.
Judge Buck is man of fine legal at
tainments. and possesses the judicial
temperament in an eminent degree We
could cite many important decisions
made by him which have been embodied
in the laws Of the state. but space for
bids. He is entitled to the enthusiastic
support of the reform parties. and will
get many votes from independent Re-
publicans who admire his integrity and
incorruptibiiity as a judge and his noble
wealth in whose development he has
taken such Il conspicuous part during its
statehood. lie will undoubtedly be re-
elected to the bench which he has

the grave mistake of failing TO nom
mate Judge Mitchell" Continuing it's
eulogy of Judge Mitchell, the Pioneer
Press says:
He was put there originally by ap-
pointment of Gov. Pillsbury IL years
ago, both because of the high reputation
he had gained aus IL district judge and
| also because he was a Democrat, it being
the strong desire of Coy. Pillsbury to
satisfy the prevailing public sentiment
in favor of Il non-partis;ln Judiciary
Since that time, until the last Republic
can state convention, the principle OF
-partisanship in the judiciary has
been respected by both parties in the
person of Judge Mitchell, however it
may have been disrcgarded in other in
stances. Appointed originally by a Re-
publican governor, he has been three
times nominated by the concurrent ac-
ton of the state conventions OF both
parties and elected by the unanimous
vote of the electors of all parties. And
this not only because he has repre-
scented the principle of non-p craftsmanship
in the judiciary, but because of his cx-
ccpLionaly high standing and rcputil-
tlon as a judge; because he united tho
intellectual and moral q,,alitics-the
ability learning ana acuLcncss of IL
great Jurst with the purity and I'M
bending integrity of an honest man
ct iIfn hn
fhilul'" of the Republican state cunvcn-
ton to rcnOminate him was REGARDED
by the bar and the public throughout
with the strongest and most indignant
disapproval. We do not believe there
is any dissent among intelligent law
ycrs or citizens from the belief that
the failure to re-clcct Inn next Tues
day would be a great misfortune to the
supreme bench and to the state mt
large. His defeat next Tuesday would
be Il deplorablc loss to the bench and to
the people of the state The Republican
voters Of Minnesota will have a full on
portunty next Tuesday to correct the
grleFous mistake made by their dele
gates III state convention. His NAME al
though not where it should have been,
In the Republican list OF candidates, will
still be on the same ballot where every
voter is to mark with an X his choice
among the candidates. Not less than
$4,000 KS should be affixed by Republic
can voters to the name of Judge
Mitchell.
The Irish Standard heartily approves
every word the Pioneer Press has said
of Judge Mitchell. 1t is covenant of
good government when craftsmanship can
he laid aside and every one of all politi-
cal parties unite to keep such men as
Judge Mitchell member of our highest
court. He is Democrat, and should
receive the united support of every
member of the allied forces next Tues

other to steal. and tho other thief got all
the money-if that is the defense, it is
an insult to this jury. to this court, and
to the administration of justice in the
state of Minnesota"
1t is needless to add that after this
charge the jury. in less than half an
hour found Hcilpern guilty.
During the last few years many Of the
good citizens of Minneapolis have often
wished that Judge CAVITY was still on the
district bench to deal with the men who
have been plundcring the city treasury,
the banks and the trust companies.
In January, 1894 he resigned from the
district bench and took his scat as Il
member of the supreme court, to which
he had been elected by the people of this
state on the fusion ticket, largely by Re-
publican votes. Since his advent on the
supreme bench. his great vgor and abiii-
ty has done much to- lift the supreme
bench cut of some of tho old ruts into
which it had so long Travelled. and to
make of il a much better and ADLER
court. At first he disscntcd very often
from the views Of the majority OF the
court, and his dissenting opinions havc
been Quoted far and wide
Perhaps The greatest decision that WAS
eve. written in this country is the Strcn-
eraon case. familiar to every farmer and
shipper in the Northwest In this case
Judge Canty throw very much new light
Oh Che great railway problem of today.
This problem is: by what rule: shall VIC
determine what are reasonable rates for
carrying freight and passcngcrs on rail
roads? Not only did he lay down some
consideration the entire system of rail
roads Of the Great Northern. with all it's
branch corporations and side enterprises.
and its many wheels within whrls by
ness and conceal its vast income The
judge 'aid all these matters bare, and
made them SO simple that anyone can sec
that the system has been earning much
cost of the roads This decision shows
Judge CAVITY to be not only an eminent
lawyer aud judge. but also a master ON
the laws Of finance ana political ccuno-
my. and Il statesman of high order The
decision was rendered last fall, ana as
Il result the railroads in the north half OF
the state have been compelled to reduce
rates to such an extent that the farmers
will save over 1000, 900 this year alone.
and the benefits will increase each year
hereafter in proportion to the growth OF
business.
The conduct of Judge Canty during the
five years that he has hrcn on the SUI
prcmc bench has been so cnlinrntly fair
and impartial, yet vigorous, always ready
to protect the weak against the r;pncity
of the strong that his rc-rIrrtion ought
to meet with the hearty approval of all
voters, irrespective Of party affiliations.

ANTON M1EsEN.
1t is doubtful whether, among all the
! candidates for county Office on the sew
erai tickets, there is man more thor
oughly in touch with the mass of the
common people than is Anton Miesen.
His life is passed in daily association
with them. He has been estimated for
what he is. a man of the finest natural
parts, true to his friends, his convictions
and his obligations. A business man of
the first order, if entrusted with the Gis-
i charge of the duties of county treasurer,
there is no man whose reputation offers
better assurance that he will conserve
every financial interest of the community
and discharge all his official duties in a
manner thoroughly satisfactory to the
people.
Mr.. Miesen has been resident of st.

business life during that period He is

orders. He is now SO years of age, and
has twice been candidate for sheriff,
and once for alderman. He has always
contributed largely from his means to-
wards Democratic success and whether
in defeat or victory, Anton Miesen has
always been Democrat. Clearly man
Of the people, he has never faltered in
his adherence to Democracy and no man
is better deserving than he The voters
of Ramsey county should not only elect
him treasurer, but give him rousing
majority as we'll.
WILLIAM PLATTE.
William Platte was born in Hamburg,
Germany, in 1850. He was educated in
the public schools, and stood high i'll all
of his classes, and at the age of IA he
entered wholesale tobacco and cigar
store, working there during the day and
attending commercial school in tho
evening. He took an active part in all
labor movements in his native city, and
was member Of several organized So
cieties. In 1871, at the age of q years,
he decided to come to America, and
reached New York in June of that year.
Here he remained until 1873, taking an
active part in labor matters and assist
ing in the organization of unions for the
better protection of the laborng classes.
He was one of the leading spirits in the
Cigarmakers' union in New York, and
was president of the Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth ward clubs of the Labor

Prnsprrit>'s 'lidnI Wave.

This fall the American people are en-
joying their full share of prosperity, a
larger number of working people are
employed than for several years: mills
arc working overtime, factories arc
running to their fullest capacity, all
lines Of business are in busy whirl;
but nowhere is prosperity SO much in
evidence as with S. e. Olson Co. Their
fall business is in full swing, the tide
is at its flood, and is pouring into the
Big Store in tremendous volumes.
The marvellous output of goods dur
ing their great October sale cut such a
mighty swath into their G5 departments
that they were Obliged to despatch, post
haste, score of their expert buyers to
Eastern markets to secure fresh rein
forcemcnts. These new bargains are
now arriving, and the breach made by
their phenomenal October sale is be-
ing rapidly filled in, while the numerous
odds and ends" left over in various
departments by the same sale are being
closed out at such ridiculously low prices
that there is no abatement I'm the rush
Of buyers.
During the coming week the depart
ments devoted to fall and winter wear
ables, outer and under garments, are
offering the most startling bargains. 1t
seems incredible that such excellent
garments can be sold at such low prices.
The Big Store book department is a
marvel Of perfection this season. For
tho coming week it is Offering most re-
freshing bargains In the newest litcra-
ture. The ability OF the Big Store to Sc
cure the latest publications in books
and sell them at special cut prices is
what has expanded their book business
to It's present size-second to none in
the country.
The fur manufacturing department of
tho Big Store deserves the most hearty
support of everyone. Too much cannot
be said in favor of the workmanship and
quality Of their fur garments, and the
saving in price Is about rs per cent.
Watch the daily papers for special price,

Mr.. Platte came to st. Paul in response
to the urgent request of some Of his
friends living there. He was the founder
of Cigarnakers' union, No. SO, of st.

in the city. For three years he was man

He is member of all the local singing

an active interest in politics since his
residence in st. Paul. and was. on the

Judge Mitchell is one OF the most en-

States. His great ability and unim-

admired by all, whether political friend

that the Republicans made Il great mis-

never been neglected.
Mr.. Wagner has been capable, tried
public official. AS city treasurer, as we'll
as sheriff, he has established his right to

birthday. He then went to Harvard for
two years. He was one year in the Of

ton attorney when "a years old 1t
goes without saying that he filed the 10

years service.
He is a practicing lawyer, with Offices

member of the football team and the
Harvard Glee club.
His campaign is one Of the great fea-
lures of the present canvass. fIe is out
among the adherents of his party, and he
is giving personal attestation of the fact
which all his friends have so long known,
that, if elected to the Office he seeks, the
people will never have been better served
by a prosecuting attorney than they will
by him.
JOHN WAGNER.
For Il second time John Wagner has
been nominated for the Office of sheriff
of Ramsey county. For the last two
years Mr. Wagner has ably conducted
the affairs of his Office and during all
that time has been competent and colr-
teous official. His popularity is attested
by the fact that he was elected two years
ago when all the balance of his associ-
ates on the ticket were defeated.
Mr.. Wagner was born and reared in
st. Paul, and attended the public schools,
from which he graduated with high hon
ors. On arriving at age, his father, John
Wagner, an old and respected citizen,
died, leaving a large estate, the manage
