The st. Cloud Jour nal Press asks
us whether Mr.. Towne is any more
sacred than he was two years ago,
and whether Mr.. Bede is any more
dangerous? Mr.. Towne was booked
two years ago to debate with two
congressman at county fair. They
did not arrive, and not to disappoint
the people present. Mr.. Towne de-
bated with Mr.. Bede. The debate of
two years ago was not a prearranged
affair. Bede was a buffoon then; he
has not changed any. Mr.. Towne
challenged his opponent to debate
two years ago. Morris refused He
was a coward then, as he is now.
Some months ago it was said that
Morris would himself challenge
Towne. He didn't do it. Then it
was said that Morris would not talk
on the silver question, and Towne
agreed TO debate on all questions.
All possible,means. to get Morris to
debate have been tried: He won't
do it. The brand of cowardice il
indelib]y fixed on his brow. 80

MIR. Towne g Reply.

Mr.. Towne has forward the follow
Ing letter to Alvah Eastman, editor
OF the St. Cloud Journal Press, which
explains itself:
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 81, 189s.-Hon.
Alvah Eastman, St. Cloud, Minn.-Dear
Sir: have to acknowledge receipt OF
your letter OF 23rd inst wherein on
behalf OF Mr.. j. Adam Bede you invite
me to meet him in joi 1T discussion OF the
political issues OF 1.-THE campaign at st.
Cloud sometime in September.
In answer I beg to say that while, as
you observe, am IAN advocate OF this
method Of campaigning" nevertheless
you will probably be able to recall
that my advocacy OF it has heretofore
been connected with attempts to secure
series OF debates with Hon. Page
Norris, the republican candidate for
congress. consider that 1t would be ap<
prop:iate and beneficial that Judge Nor
ris and myself as opposing candidates
seeking the honors and responsibilities
OF high office should discuss together
before the people the greatquestion that
will be so materially affected by the cleo
ton OF one OF us to congress. A similar
case is not made by the situation OF Mr..
Bede. He stands for nothing in this
campaign, SO far AS l am advised, beyond
what any other stump advocate of gold
and monopoly stands for. There are
many such in the pay OF these interests.
Moreover, while it is undoubtedly true
as you say, that Mr.. Bede "has rep
utation as public speaker equal to (my)
own," l venture to hope that there is
some difference in the quality OF these
regulations if not in the quantity
Neither by himself, by the public, nor by
me, is Mr.. Bede taken seriously.
You say that my opponents "are will.
ing to trust their cause TO Mr.. Bede.' -
Why have they not trusted it to Mr..
Morris? Believing, as evidently you and
others do WHO have been assisting in
challenging me for various gentlemen
that debates ale a desirable method
of campaigning, perhaps, had you
seasonably used your influence with the
Judge, you might have been able to con-
vince him, i'll opposition to the opinion
of his executive committee, that the
proposed discussions might have served
a useful purpose"
Upon the point that the debate with
Mr.. Bede would draw "a larger audience
than would otherwise be possible am
inclined, upon the basis ofpastexperience
to be somewhat skeptical. St. Cloud
has always heretofore furnished me au-
diences larger than her halls, and I be-
leave may safely take the chances Of
securing hearers when next visit your
interesting city.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES A. TowNE.

to buy the signatures Of distin-

Drained schemes. Business snob-
berry is as real as other forms OF
snobbery and the people who had a
few pounds to spare were glad to
put it into an enterprise which was
sanctioned by earl this and lord
that. All Hooley's schemes at length
failed. But he did not abscond like
Menage but stood his ground and
exposed his noble associates. Some
of them offered him IS, 900 to swear
he did not pay them anything until
after the enterprises were aoated.
Now just suppose Menage had not
absconded but boldly told the truth,
what would have become OF the
Fletchers. the Pilisburys, the Eus-
tises and other shining business men
of Minneapolis? 1t was on the
strength of these names as directors
that Menage was enabled to sell
stock and float his colossal fraud.
So far as we know few shares of
the stock were all these men got for
permitting their names to be
used for the purpose OF defrauding
others. 1t appears that VIM H.

Minneapolis got a n magnificent build

By the way, we have vague i'm

notion to join their comrade in
South America, what would the re-
publicans do for a candidate 70 gov

Mr.. Towne has sensibly declined to
advertise j. Adam Bede by debating
with him. Morris is the man to do
the debating. II he doesn't want to,
his supporters should force him to
do it. AS it is, he stands before the
people OF the distrist in the position
OF being afraid to meet Towne. The
Morris papers may rave all they
please, but they cannot remove the
stain OF cowardice from Morris.

Tumble-down rookeries and filthy

the municipality, torn down, and
in their places beautiful buildings

in a rented room, perhaps with
no conveniences for washing or
drying her clothes, goes to a pub

washing nicely done and for less
expense than the cost of fuel that
would have been necessary in her

ness OF capital IN the experience
Of the government in attempting
to tax corporations to raise rev.
enue for the war. The govern
ment says: eve will tax the
telegraph companies so much for
each message sent" It would
have been easy enough. for the
trainers of the law, if they de-
sired to tax the individual direct,
to say that each person sending a
message should pay SO much, but
they had no such purpose. Their
purpose was to tax the telegraph
companies, as they plainly stated
in as plain language as can be
chosen; but what did these an
archists and lawbreakers do?
The government says, we will tax
the telegraph companies; but no
you don't, said the telegraph COM
pany, we will tax the people, and
Immediately an order is issued
that every patron of that COM
pany shall contribute his mite to
relieve the corporation of a share
of the burden that the govern
ment sought to impose upon it.
Identically the same thing is
true of the express companies,
and. as these corporations have
appealed to the courts to aid them
in evading the law, the people can
only stand and await the result.
But the greatest good we are to
find through municipal ownership
will be found in the improved
quality of our citizenship. Not,
however, because as it is popularity
proclaimed, a mans value to the
state is measured by his property
possessions, but because Of the
family feeling and truly patriotic
sentiment, the love of country
which is love of our fellow-men
that will be awakened in the mans
breast by the contemplation of the
fact that he is member of fam
lily who own their own streets,
who own their own bridges, who
own their own waterworks, who
own their own electric lighting
plant, who own their own tele-
phone and express and messenger
service; a member Of a family
who owns and does everything for
the family that can, by any posi-
bility, be better done by collective
than by private effort. And
whenever the feeling is once
awakened that this is our city,
that this is our country, then a
man becomes, in the best sense of
the word, a citizen who loves his
country. This feeling will be
wonderfully enhanced as the city
goes forward in the work of mu-
nicipal ownership. The people
will learn that they can serve
themselves better without profit
than q corporation can serve them
with profit, as an incentive for
their effort.

the national convention of the
league of American municipalities,
Detroit, Mich, Aug. 5, 1898:
Continued from last week.
Through public ownership and
municipality, the state and the
nation may find means of ex-
pressing it's love for the people,
and the people---the great COM
mon people---are never wanting,
never have been wanting or lack
ing in appreciation for any sacri-
flee or service chat may be rend-
cred to them. This is shown
clearly in the strong love we have
for such services as now are adj
ministered by our municipalities
and our state and national gov
ernments. Detroit is justly proud
Of her waterworks, her public
lighting plant, her beautiful Belle
Isle, and her Fairgrounds for the
children. The state points with
just pride to the paternal care
exercised over the dependent
classes---the aged, the infrm, the
blind, the deaf, the insane and
afflicted in every class. We have
conscious and just pride in the
social service administered by the
general government in the post
office department, despite our grief
that because of the fact that the
railroads charge the general gov
eminent 8 cents a pound for car
rying the mails when they per-
form a similar service for the ex-
press companies for about
one-seventh of the price, and thus
saddle the deficit on the govern
ment annually that the people
must pay to enrich private cor
porations.
The great question that is rap
idly forging to the front today in
this country is: ''Shall the mu-
nicipality own or be ownedP''
Shall the general government own
the telegraph and railroads or
shall these corporations own the
general government? The danger
that confronts us and threatens
the perpetuity of our institutions
is not from the classes popularity
known as lawbreakers, but is
found in the lawlessness of cap
ital and anarchy of corporations,
and the question to which the
American people will before long
give an emphatic affirmative an
swer in this: ''Can capital be made
subject to law?'' I am not talking
to school boys and school girls; |
am not striving to excite the mob,
or ''stir up the poor against the
rich,'' as is often so glibly and
falsely charged; but you, Mr.:
Chairman and gentlemen Of the
convention, who, in yonr daily
experience, come..in contact with
the Vaccinations of unprincipled
men with money, who are in:

that Of getting money, are thor
oughly familiar with the dangers

THE HOURGLhSS.

TITS only q tiny hourglass
That a childish hand may hold
And a streamlet trickling through it
Of shining desert gold,
And it's grain by grain, from glass to glass,
That the tiny sane drops hourly pass.
It is only n tiny %hourglass,
But each shining golden grain
Marks a moment of JOY II pleasure,
A moment of sorrow and pain.
To the sad heart the hours pass slowly by
At joys light touch they swiftly fly.
Each quickly fleeing moment
Yields a tremendous power
The destinies of a nation
May be changed in a single hour.
Use, then, the hours in the cause Of right,
And darkness must yield to a food Of light

Phil May, Gladstone and Autographs.

Phil May was asked why it is that one
occasionally finds some of his original
drawings on sale, and he replied charac-
teristically: "That l don't know; they
must be sketches which l have given to
friends and have been sold by them. Ter
rible thought, isn't it? But that is the
only explanation. 1t reminds me of the
Liberal politician l once heard Of"
"What was that?" asked the interview.

"Oh. 1t was the same sort Of thing
only more SO. 1t seems this man was an
ardent Liberal-no, there Is no political
bias in this story! He got into correspond
ence with MIR. Gladstone, who gave him
some Of his works with his autograph ON
the fly leaf. Nothing remarkable about
that! No, but what was the sequel? That
man went and sold those autograph books
and on the proceeds Of the sale he vent
down into the country to vote against the
Gladstonian candidate! Cynical sort of
proceeding, wasn't its'-Bookman.

Opening Up the Philippines.

When the new order of things is estab-
lished in the Philippine islands, there is
likely to be a great rush to Uncle Sans
latest possessions. There will be a
scramble for wealth similar to that which
occurred when the Klondike gold fields
were discovered. No matter what BUSH
ness a man is engaged in, he thinks more
of his purse than of his health, but
wealth is worthless without good health
to enjoy it. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is needed by nearly everybody. Rich
and poor are cured by it of constipation,
dyspepsia, general debility and malarlal
fevers. Women who are nervous, men
who are overworked, people whose nights
are sleepless, should take these world
famous Bitters if they wish to be cured.
