Will Be Reelected, Saws Jones.

In an interview with Senator Jones'
chairman of the national Democratic
committee, printed in the St. Paul Globe,
that gentleman takes not only hopeful
outlook of the national political situa-
ton, but especially is he hopeful of sue
cess in the Minnesota state contest. this
fall. He predicts Mr.. Lind's election,
but as necessary to that end he cautions
watchful supervision of the polls on
election day and the counting of the re-
turns. The counting out of party by
manipulating returns is among the re-
sorts INDUCED inland it is claimed to have
been practiced in Indiana and elsewhere
in the past. We know it was done ma
tionally in 1876. There is also strong
belief that with fairly conducted cleo
ton and an honest count, two years ago;
John Lind would today be governor of
Minnesota. The vote cast and counted
in the rotton boroughs at the mining
camps on Lake Superior were notorious
~ dishonest, and were practically blocks
of ballots cast by men who were not ma
turalized or had not attained citizenship.
At St. Paul serious questions of legality
in some Of the precincts were raised.
Had these things been inquired into q
mass of downright dishonesty would
have been unearthed that was really an.
palling. What must be done, this fall,
is TO prevent the possibility of such
transactions. They can be prevented ty

and frontier precincts. At precincts
where the vote is reasonably divided a.

supervision will be exercised, for all par

Eustis, az street railway mayor, had
little use for the people, who demanded
street railway transfers and thereby an
annual Saving Of $25o, 900, and consee-
quently had but little use for the district
court judge who riddled his veto mes
sage. It is therefore not difficult to un-
derstand why the Eustis convention this
year had so little use for the supreme
court which, like Judge Smith, stood
for the leople against the corporations.
Eustis, IN the double capacity Of may
OF, and railway counsel, instructed the
city fathers, in his wise and motherly
way that "there was business side to
the transfer question. The railroad
company must be consulted on all these
questions
The court, however, held that only
the public interest and demand should
be consulted and that ssin all instances
the right. Of the public to control has
been defended as proper police regula-
ton" II. ...~ - ., a~-E "a
Mayor Eustis in lecturing the council
complained 0 ''the frequency with
which municipalities are indulging in
this inconsiderate legislation
But the court here disagreed with
Eustis and railway counsel, and said in
defense of the justice and reasonableness
of the councils action:
''The city did not grant the right to
the railway company to use the public
street for railway purposes for its sole
benefit, but it was granted solely for the
benefit of its citizens and the general
public and for convenience"
After this peep into his true charac-
ter 1t is easy enough to understand why
Eustis should be perfectly acceptable to
the Hills, Pillsburys, Peaveys and Lowrys.
Whether he will be as acceptable to
the common people of the state, depends
altogether on how we'll they learn to
know him between now and the ides
of November.

"Where did those Americans learn to

of ware" These are questions which re-
representatives. OF foreign countries now
with the land and naval forces of the
United Sta tes are asking themselves.
These foreign officers are at loss to
know how men engaged in some civil
pursuit can within ninety days be mold
ed into an army that will charge forts
and batteries with the steadiness of train

veterans of many campaigns. The
thing is not at all puzzling to one who
understands the genius and spirit of
American institutions. The European
soldier is in the ranks because he is COM

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-08-17

In recent number of the st. James
Gazette, dyed-in-the-wool republican
sheet, there appeared the following
trashy statement:
"a soldier in the Twelfth writes rel
alive in St.. James, that, if the election of
John Lind to the governorship of Min
nesota were left to the Twelfth regi-
ment, he does not believe Lind would
get single vote. The man who wrote
the letter is a democrat, who took an
active part in the campaign two years
ago, lot only voting for John Lind for
governor but making speeches for him
throughout the campaign
The Review knows that in Company
A alone there are scores of men who
would be glad to deny this charge, so
silly on its face, but it prefers to have
the denial come from soldier who hap
pens to be from another company. This
soldier is also a St. James boy and here
is what he says:
] don't know who the writer of the
above charge is, but he must be some
one who doesn't associate with the BOYS
of the Twelfth, and doesn't know them.
1t is probably someone who wanted
Quartermaster Lind to get him some ap-
pointment, and, failing to secure it,
''feels sore' on Lind. Why, when it was
known here that our quartermaster had
accepted the nomination, pothing could
stop the boys from showing their en-
thusiasm whenever he came in sight. /
remember a week ago last SATURDAY.,
when we had division review on Snod-
grass hill. As we were coming back,
Lind passed us, and yells such as "What
is the matter with John Lind!" and
"What is the matter with Minnesota's
next governor9' were carried along the
line of the whole regiment, and were al
ways answered by "He is all right" The
boys were tired, but cheered wildly
whenever Lind passed in sight. Why, it
is absurd to talk about the Twelfth not
giving Lind single vote, after Witness
ing such demonstrations. I feel TEMPT
ed to say that every man in the Twelfth
will vote for John Lind if he can have
the chance. I further wish to say that
the officers are all we'll liked by the boys,
and none more that John Lind. -.

Needed Reforms.

Speaking about reforms in state gov
ernment,o there are three things which
just now-perhaps there may be others
of the same kind should receive
the attention of the republicans at the
next session of the legislature. While
the receipts and net profits from the Of
fees of oil inspector and surveyor gener-
al of logs have never oeen quite accu--
rately known to the public, the preva-
lent impression that these Offices render
in fees TO the occupants large sums of
money, perhaps four or five times what
the service is worth, cannot be very far
wrong.
One evidence of this is the eagerness
with which the positions are sought for.
The oil inspector is supposed to clean
up anywhere from $4,000 to $25, 900 a
year out of his job, and the surveyor
general of logs probably does as we'll.
These offices could be filled with men
thoroughly qualified at from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, and the balance should
20 to the state where it belongs.
If the republicans are wise they will
make that change at the next session,
putting these Offices on a salary basis
and turning in the fees to the state.
Nor does there appear to be any rea-
son why the clerk of the supreme court,
whose duties are merely clerical, should
receive more for his services than the
judges Of the supreme court, and yet
that is understood to be the case. Let
this Office, too, be placed entirely on
salary basis, and let the salary be fixed
at sum that will hire just as good
man as ever filled that Office, and SO, 900
would doubtless do it.
We have mentioned the turning over
of these funds to the state as reasons
why the Offices should be placed on a
salary basis. Perhaps a still stronger
reason may be found IN the fact that, as
the matter now stands, these Offices are
made to contribute to considerable ex-
tent to campaign funds, and have be-
come an actual source of political cor
ruption. AS long as the governor of
the state can compel the occupant of
either of these Offices to "whack up'' for
the benefit of the campaign fund what
ever he may see fl to demand, the party
in power is using money which properly
belongs to the state and to the people
for the perpetuation of it's own rule, and
perpetuatlon by doubtful, if not posi-
lively corrupt, Methods Minneapolis
journal.
All that the Journal says is true and
worthy the consideration of the voters.
But there is one thing that should not
he forgotten.
The platform on which John Lind is
running condemns these very abuses and
pledges him to their correction. The
Republican platform says never word
is as silent as the tomb.
Everybody knows that John Lind
with Legislature back of him will car
ry out the pledge if given half chance.
Then why wait for party that hasn't
the backbone to even rebuke the exist
ing wrongs in its platform?

Jerry j., the political writer for the
republican Minneapolis Journal, pays
the following compliment to Judges
Mitchell and CAVITY: All this talk about
the republican nominees being "the peers
of their oppo nents in Every way is for
political effect. It isn't true, as every
body knows who knows the men. AS
candidates for the supreme bench this
year Mitchell and CAVITY have scarcely
a peer in the state, and not one among
the republican candidates, If Lovely is
excepted. Lewis and Brown are inferior
to the two outgoing Democrats and the
people understand it. Any newspaper
that tries to fool them will fail and suf-
fer in reputation to boot.

There is one aspect of the war which
must be more interesting than satisfac-
tory to the American public. This gov
eminent pays the officers and men who
destroyed Cervera's squadron thousands
of dollars in prize money, If the navy
department captures hostile ship the
government sells it, or buys 1t IN, and
pays the captors for the prize. If they
sink vesse! they get prize money.
There is hardly anything they can do
without getting prize money. On the
other hand the army may capture mil.
lions of dollars worth of property, as
they did at Santiago, and all they get is
$15 month and the yellow fever. 1t
isn't right-Princeton Union.

WILLIAM NEAL DAVIS.


Mr.. William Neal Davis, one of the
best known of Portland's younger busi-
ness men, died at his residence on Pearl
street last evening after weeks illness
of uremia. Mr.. Davis had suffered more
or less from kidney trouble for several
years and it eliminated in the disease
from which he could not rally.
Mr.. Davis was the youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. William G. Davis. He was
thirty-eight years of age He attended
the Portland schools and, in 1881. was ad-
mitted into the corporation of the Port
land Packing company. For the first
years after he became partner his bust
ness called him to the Provinces, but for
the last six years he has been in this city
most of.the time. He was an excellent
business man and was so estimated by all
with whom he came in contact. He was
very popular and all through his last Ill
ness the inquiries were general and con-
slant as to his condition.
Mr.. Davis was unmarried. He never
sought or would accept office. He was a
member of the Cumberland and Ath.etic
clubs. and of Portland Commandery. He
will be sadly missed by his family and
by the great circle of friends who loved
him 80 we'll.
