mostly lies with the proof reader.
Then there Is an apology for him. His

There is fault found because state
prison Irvine has been sold in large
quantities to dealers who have largely
increased the price. If the farmers in
past years had bought prison Irvine so
as to fully employ the plant and leave
no surplus, there would be no trouble
now. But with equal prices the farm
ers used "trust twine' and the result
was the prison has been forced to sell
to dealers and contract in advance

OF course it is the fault of the
farmers themselves! Nobody
else could be to blame, according
these apologists for the state adj
ministration. There was a great
danger Of a surplus of good

pound this year!

When the republican farmer
buys his Irvine this year and pays
fancy prices for it and realizes
that the state prison Irvine was
this year sold at 81 cents to deal
ers instead of direct to the farm
ers, he ought to experience some
regrets that he didn't vote for
John Lind for governor two
years ago. And to prevent fur
Their outrages Of this kind, he
should make up his mind that it
is never too late to mend and
that his vote and influence this
year will go to the boy who
would make the Irvine trust and
other sharpers dance with burnt
fingers if they should attempt tc
"monkey' with his administra
ton.

I'm view of the above result of the
gross earnings tax it is nowonder that
railroad lobbyists are always much
concerned lest it should be invalidated.
And by the same token the other in
dustries of the state can look upon the
abolition of the gross earnings tax
with perfect composure. AS a matter
of fact the gross earnings tax will new
err be questioned by the railroads.
Their method of being taxed as we'll
as their method of taxing is perfectly
satisfactory to them. They have eve
rything they want and a great deal
more than they ought to have. All
they now need to be interested in MAIN
tanning is the statu quo. But why the
people in general and the shippers in
particular should fear to disturb the
conditions above depicted surpasseth
human understanding.

EXECUTIVE INDIFFERENCE

A petition was recently sent to
Governor Clough from Waseca
county asking that agents be ap.
pointed in every county seat for
the sale of prison binding Irvine
direct to the farmers. The fol-
lowing is his reply:
HENRY j. MEYERS:
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of a petit
ton signed by yourself and number
of others, relative to the sale of Irvine
at the state prison. In reply I beg to
advise you that the governor has no
authority to interfere, even if he so de-
sired. It rests with the board of man
ayers, who have full authority in the
premises and the Governor is utterly
powerless to interfere. Yours Truly,
D. M. CLOUGH, Governor.
If this letter merely showed
the governors dense ignorance
as to his duties and powers it
might in a measure be excused,
but when he practically says that
he would not do anything if he
could, it becomes a matter for
the severest criticism. The idea
that the governor has no power
over his appointees, is as prepos-
ferrous and absurd as to say that
the superintendent of a large
factory has no control over de.
partment heads hired by him.
The prison Irvine plant was star.
ted to prevent just what has hap.
pened this year, the cornering
and raising unduly the price OF
binding Irvine, by selling Irvine
in small lots to actual farmers at
the cost of production, yet, as is
shown in another column, the
prison board has sold to dealers
in direct violation of their plain
duties, and the governor calmly
says he cannot help it and would
not if he could.-Farm, Stock &

in the Fifth district failed TO
agree on a candidate for con-
gress man, thanks to a "midroad"
sentiment among the democrats.
Prof. Cations candidacy is a little
too strong for this gentry, who
are looking out for the interests
OF your uncle Loren, the repub-
lican candidate. This latter nom
entity will be given a terrific
chase by the energetic school
master, when the matter of nom
ination is finally adjusted. After
virtually refusing to cooperate
with the populists, the democrats
in conjunction with the silver re-
publicans nominated S. M. Owen,
a populist. It is not expected
that he will accept, so the matter
is still open, and we look for the
final endorsement of Prof. Cation.
This "balky" sentiment among
the democrats has no doubt beer
fostered to a great extent by the
Daily Times, which paper il
seems has always been partial t(

during the next::few days.
It is our aim to conduct a vlg-
orous and aggressive newspaper
and to make it especially interes'
ting during the fall campaign
We depend, however, mainly
upon our subscriptions for means
with which to conduct the busl-
ness. We have heavy payments
to make soon, and as collections
have been very slow, we lack
money to pay them WITH NOW
we ask every friend Of the paper
who is delinquent to call in or
send in enough money to pay un-
til the end of the year, ifpossible.
Look at your credit mark. Ii II
shows '98, please try anu u"no
it '99. If you have already paid
until '99 or 90, and feel like help
ing the paper along and your
neighbors as we'll, give us a dol
lar and the names Of four friends
and we will send them each a
COPY for four months.
If our friends would all do this
they would be surprised to know
what a '']ift' it would be to us,
and the TRIBUNE would become
brighter and better because OF
it. Just try it, friends. Each
one do his small share, and the
com bined results will be consld-

We would ask our lady friends
to drop a gentle reminder OF this
to their husbands when they
hitch up to go to town next time.

The price of binding Irvine has ad-
vanced this season to a point higher
than it has ever been for years. This
is partly owing to the large demand ,
but principally on account of the war.
The blockading of the port of Manila
prevented large portion of the raw
material from reaching the Market

And, to tell the whole truth,
why not say that the supply of
Irvine made for the farmers of

GROSS EARNINGS TAX.

The people of the state are in
debted to Hon. P. M. Ringdal,
the peoples party candidate for
congressman from the seventh
district, for much light which his
researches have thrown upon the
railroad question. He has prov
en- that the gross earnings of the
railroads in the state have ex.
ceeded the total amount received
by the farmers of the state for
the ten principal crops in past
years by millions of dollars. In
other words, that the farming in.
dustry of the state, employing
about 1923, 900 men, did not make
as much by far from the ten prin.
cipal crops as the railroads,
employing about 10000 men, did
in their business. We take the
privilege of reproducing the fol.
lowing from his pen, which cor.
reefs an impression in the pop.
ular mind regarding the gross
earnings tax on the railroads.
':rhe average rate OF. of ta:eation in
Minnesota for 1894 was 23l6 mills.
That rate computed upon the above es.
timated valuation Of $40, 600 per mile
( not their own grossly inflated valua.
tom would net the state q. 7Os, OPP

TO WHIP THE CUBANS.

The plutocratic press is pre-
pairing the public mind for the
''inevitable," viz. that Cuba must
be conquered and retained by
the United States. Not satisfied
with the canefields of Hawaii,
the sugar trust must have it's in
duence in Cuba assured. The
following from an editorial that
appeared in the Minneapolis
Tribune last Friday, states the
matter very frankly:
"But now that the die has been cast
and our army of invasion is in Cuba,
the Gomez plan cannot be carried out.
The United States has set it's hands to
the pillow and cannot look back. We
cannot abandon the task we have I'M
dertaken of conquering Cuba without
becoming an object of ridicule to Eu-
rope. II it takes an army of half a
million men and involves the task of
whipping both the Spanish and the
Cubans, we must complete the task
and leave the question of what shall
be done with the island afterwards to
be settled by the conditions then pre-
vailing. Our work is cut out for us
and we must do it at any COST
At any cost, eh2 Well, if the
stars and stripes are to wave
over Cuba at the cost OF the Gu
ban patriots blood, then the ire
mendous cost to this country will
be no less than the loss of all the
glory achieved in this war and
the sacrifice of American man.

 Midnight Harmonies,

The quaint old English church poet George Herbert was walking to Sails barry one evening to join musical par ty when he met poor man with a poorer horse that had fallen under his load. They were both ill distress, and Mir. Herbert pulled off his coat and helped the man to unload his horse. He then gave him some money and left him. At his arriving at Salisbury his friends wondered at his coming into their company so soiled and discom- posed. He explained the cause, and when one remarked that he had dis paraged himself by so dirty an employ ment he answered that the thought of what he had done would prove music to him at midnight and that the omission of it would have upbraided and made discord ill his conscience. For if am bound to pray for all that be in distress so far as 1t is in my power am to prae- tice what pray for, and, let me tell you, l would not willingly pass one day of my life without comforting a sad soul or showing mercy, and bless God for this occasion. These arc the places ill which to attune one's conscience to midnight music. ,

 Bought For S1.
 'Got any kitties?'
 The junk dealer looked startled, for the question betokened an intimate knowledge of the jargon of his kind
 Why, yes, l guess so, he responded when he could get his breath. What the buyer meant was an old sewing ma chine which could be turned in to the sewing machine company as part pay ment on a new machine. The company allows $5 on an old machine, and some times tho agent or canyasser allows $5 more out of his commission on the sale.
 The public imagines that in soma way these old machines are valuable to the company, but, in truth, they aTo cg use only as arguments i'll forcing sale. in the standard makes of machines thero is supposed to be absolutely no cut in prices, and the only way that 9 seeming reduction can be made is by taking in an old machine and allowing for it. The company does this not for the sako of getting the machine, but for the sake of making a trade. Once the old timer is in their possession it is broken up and sold to junk dealer.
 The companies know, of course that large number of the families who turn in old machines said te have been bought by them before tue flood really come from the secondhand stores and cost only $1. At this rate the buyer gets an allowance of $10, which, deducting tho $1, leaves net $9. If there does hap pen to be an old one in the possession of the family, the whole $10 is realized.-.- New York Press.
