THE cLOSE.OF THE CONTEST.

Before the next issue of The TR1-
BUNE reaches it's readers, the ballots
which will decide the present political
contest will have been cast. We sim
cerely believe that the result will be
favorable to Lind and Ringdal and
nearly all, if not all, of the Peoples
county ticket. All the money and end
less speeches of the county Office gang
has not sufhced to stem the sentiment
for Lind and reform in the county, in
fact itfseems that the louder the Eus-
tIs-shouters have shouted, the stronger

perlenced man. He has served his
district before as commissioner and
his second nomination testifes to the
confidence the people of his town
have in his work. Mr.. Reigstad en-
joys the distinction of being the first
populist elected to an Office in Kandi-
yohi county. He will no doubt be Mr..
Skoglund's successor in the End dis
trict.
Mr.. Fleckten in another column gets
even with the judges of the supreme
court for rendering decision against
him in the state capitol case. We do
not blame Mr.. Fleckten for the position
he takes, but believe that in many i'm
portant cases the judges have stood by
the people, and that now the people
could easily do worse than to re-elect
them.
Charley Ode'l, the sheriff, rides on
a free pass on the railroad and thus
makes a good thing out of the mileage
he charges up against the county. A
trip to Fergus Falls nets him about
$40. 90 in this way. Think of this you
farmer, who connot spare enough
money to pay your fare to the State
Fair once a year.
Sam pNrtar wac m
very broadly last Saturday that he
was the only person in the county
really competent to be county attorney.
This is, of course, Sans own opin-
ion, very modestly expressed. There
are several good reasons, however,
which Sam forgot to mention, why
some other man should be engaged to
take care of the public business of this
county.
We have it on excellent authority
that many republican judges of elec-
ton in the county have been informed
that the opinion of our county attor-
ney is that any such judge who
doesn't vote the whole republican
ticket straight violates his oath. This
is laughable attempt to whip votes
into line, and shows to what straits
the opposition has come. Any Judge
Of election who doesn't vote his con-
victions on account of this 'opinion'
does himself great injustice.
II II
Why are the republicans always
harping about national issues in this
campaign? Simply to throw dust in
the eyes of the voters. They know
they can't elect their men on their per-
sonal merit. Hence they put them on
the back of Mckinley and shout,
"don't look at the man on the presi-
dents back, but follow McKinleyn' If
Mckinley could see what kind of stuff
he is carrying into Office, he would die
Of broken heart.
Rev. Skogsbergh, pastor at the
Swedish tabernacle at Minneapolis, a
strong republican who knows the
record of Eustis, says that no Swede
can vote for Eustis and preserve his
self-respect.

butt of ridicule of politicians for ever
so long, just looked at the makeup

Cen. Pando, who has charge of oper-
ations in the field while Capt Gen, Blanco
attends to the general administration of
colonial affairs with special supervision
of qualification" and autonomy, seems
to have seen new light-several OF
them, perhaps,--since he entered Cuba.
He finds the insurgents much more
strongly established than he had been
led to believe as he gazed across the
ocean from Spain. He finds, too, that
the Spanish forces in the island are
neither so efficient nor so well supported
in the matter of transportation and sup
plies as he had fondly imagined. To
his intense disgust, he finds it impossi-
BILE to conduct an effective campaign
against the Insurgents ana he seems to
have made no bones of saying SO. So
complete is the insurgent control in the
extreme eastern province OF Santiago de
Cuba, that Gen. Pando cannot keep
communications open nor convey sup
plies TO detached columns and garri-
sons. The situation has caused great
and avowed Encouragement among
Spanish officers and the nominal civil
officials. Feud and faction seem to be
rife, and designations and Withdrawals
are the logical results. Despite the proc
lamations Of the captain general and his
optimistic speeches and dispatches, the
outlook is really no more encouraging
than it was when Gen. Blanco entered
upon the arduous duties OF his Office.

Tom Platt's share under the Tam
many division of spoils of the Greater
New York is limited at in bill to be
presented to the legislature for the re-
moval of the ten city judges who get
salaries of $1,000 year. The old Tam
many bench, which had become a scan
DIAL and a reproach, was summarily re-
moved soon after Mayor Strong went
into office, and the Plat claim is that he
was to be allowed half of the appoint
ees. He never got the desired five, and
now the whole bench is to be cleared
again. OF course Croker could not get
such bill through the legislature with
out Platt's help, and the easy boss will
take his pay in the appointment of five
of his followers to the expected vacan-
cies, while Croker puts in some more
men Of the Paddy Diver stripe to fill
up his own quota. This story may be
all a cruel, hateful SANDER, but 1t is just
the kind of business that Platt and
Croker are wont to do together.

Gus consideration of the city council
What he says concerning the debt. de-
partment reports grade crossings, the
reservoir, street lights, telegraph wires,
pauper laws, fire department, the
streets, sewer plans and educational ex-
penses will meet with general approval
His recommendations regarding the IL
cense commission and the office of chief
Of police are also made in the right
spirit His desire to place these appoint
ments beyond the baneful influence of
party strife is commendable. 1t is well
though to leave these appointments
with the mayor, one member only to be
appointed at time. There is much to
be said in favor Of his recommended
long term for the chief of police, but this
officer, who is brought into such close
relation to the mayor ought always to
be in perfect harmony with him. This
might not be the case if the old chief
was left legacy to the new admins
tration. A better way to accomplish
the mayors purpose would be to make
the term of the mayor two years and
give him more power. The city organiz-
alton was completed without friction,
and there is every prospect of an har-
monious and business-like administra-
ton under Mayor Dodge's guidance.

The report of the Indianapolis none
tary commission is an addition to the
banking and currency literature of the
country, and it is of significance as a
criterion of what eleven men of expert
ence and high reputation in finance,
business or craftsmanship, un.nf1uenced
| by political considerations, think should
be done for the reformation of the
currency and the banking system. So
| far as practical results are concerned,
| it can accomplish nothing. In view OF
the hullaballoo caused by Secretary
Cages relatively moderate recommend
atoms, the more radical Indianapolis
plan can nave no destiny but the waste
| basket The academic discussion that
it will inspire may have some educa-
/ tional value, but this will be offset in
large degree by the partisan scorn and
by the disagreement Of sound money
authorities provoked by it.
Briefly, the scheme provides for the
retirement Of greenbacks and Sherman
notes within ten years by the issue OF
| 3 per cent gold bonds and such surplus
| revenues as may be available. Silver
bullion held by the treasury for the re-
demption of Sherman notes is to be sold
/ for gold, and the silver dollars are to
be redeemed in gold as they are pre-
! sented. Government bonds are no long
er to be the basis of national bank cir
culation, but banks are to be allowed
| to issue notes to the full amount OF
their paid up and unimpaired capital
and these notes are to be a first lien
| the circulation is to be held in gold IN
the treasury as guarantee fund. There
will be no tax on circulation up to &C
/ per cent of the capital; between 60 and
4 so per cent the tax will be 2 per cent
above 80 it will be 6 per cent. State
banks may be admitted to the system
when, of course, government supervi-
sion will be imposed. The retirement Of
greenbacks in part by surplus revenues
is what some experts have argued
should be done in bulk, on the ground
all that all danger of contraction of the
currency would thus be averted. The
plan deserves respectful and studious
consideration.
The commission was made up as fol
lows: Ex-senator George f. Edmunds
of Vermont, chairman; Charles S. Fair.
child Of New York, Mr.. Cleveland
f, first secretary of the treasury; Prof. ]
Lawrence Laughlin of Chicago Univer.

Ii Hung Chang declares in an inter-
view that the German invasion of
China was in direct violation Of inter
national law as Interpreted by Euro
pean nations, because his government
had offered full and immediate redress
for the murder of the German mission
aries, which took place in a wild coun-
try, where the missionaries themselves
knew the perils of life were numerous.
He reminds the occidentals that his gov
eminent had come to look to the west
for its models, and the inference is that
the paragon of western virtue has
been badly damaged by the exploit OF
Kaiser William. Lis plea for the in
tegrity of C'hina's territory and for an
opportunity for development, with the
opening of the country to trade, is
rather pathetic, but it won't have any
appreciable effect upon the free-booters
who have camped down on the celestial

Auction sales advertised by Boston
brokers indicate that the present should
be a good time to buy cotton stocks
cheap. More than four hundred shares
representing sixteen or eighteen differ
ent cotton manufacturing corporations
are included in the published list of Sc
curities offered for sale. Among them
are a few concerns that have not paid
a dividend for some years, but there are
others that have been paying 6, s and
even 10 per cent for a series of years,
and whose stock has sold at auction
within year at an advance of 80,
40 and even As per cent above par. The
appearances are that investors con-
fdence has been rudely shaken by the
discussion of the past month, and in
some instances there is probably no
actual business foundation for it.

The law school of the Boston Uni
versity is the best monument to the
fame, scholarship and legal attachments
of Judge Edmund H. Bennett, whose
death in Boston was recorded Sunday.
His judicial title was acquired by virtue
of twenty-five years Of service on the
bench of probate and insolvency in
Bristol county, an honorable and useful
service, surely, but it was the remark
able and quick success of the law school
over which he was called to preside as
dean, that magnified his name. His
three years term as lecturer at the
Harvard Law School was guarantee of
his high scholarship, but it was in the
building up of "his own school," as it
were, that he demonstrated his right to
be reckoned among the great educa-
tional powers Of the land The expan-
sion of school Of a handful of stu
dents attending lectures in single
room into one of the largest-we had al
most said the largest-law school in the
country, with a handsome domicile and
an attendance of more than 425 stu
DENTS is one Of the remarkable achieve
ments of the time, accomplished as 1t
was under the shadow of Harvard and
within easy neighboring distance of the
great Columbia College Law School in
New York. 1t used to be said that the
secret of the success Of Dean Benefits
teaching was it's very practical charac-
ter. In the face of the present tendency
of the world, such a policy was certain
to count for much, and Dean Bennett
was clear-headed and bold enough to
accept the situation and adapt his
methods to it.

Church, Tuesday night, at the house O
Mr.. and Mrs. William Woodward /
was presented in three interesting pa.
pers, of which the first, by Mr.. E. w
HoXie, dealt with political unity ans
religious dissensions in New England.
The essayist spoke of the New England
confederacy, the prosecutions of tn,
Quakers, of Roger William and of tht
Anti-nomians.
The second paper was by Rev. A. H
Coolidge, upon "Witchcraft briefly re
viewed" Mr.. Coolidge referred to tn,
occasional executions for witchcraft II
Connecticut and Massachusetts, prior t.
the execution of Widow Hubbard il
1856, for 80 years after which there was
cessation in the mania, which burs
out afresh in 1891 in Salem, lasting foe
four months, with violence, and the1
subsiding, being driven out slowly b,
the rising sense of the people. He dis
cussed the cause of this phenomenon
which by some has been attributed t
conscious fraud, by others to a dis
ordered imagination, and by still other
to the influence of the clergy, and EN-
phasized the fact that at the time a be
lief in witchcraft was universal, an(
that in reality the colonies were tn,
first to break away from 1t, punishment
for witchcraft being abolished here 10
years later than in Scotland.
