In regard to the swamp lands, the situa-

many years. and until recently, any rail-
road scheme possessing clever advocates
could get the Republican legislature to give
them swamp land grant or get All ex-

In every instance claim the right to make

state institutions. and to confer upon the
citizens u direct voice IN legislation.
CHARGES THE SIN OF OMISSION.
These are the issues that We have ten
lcred. and that We shall discuss. My oppo-
nent did nor deem one Of them worthy of
the slightest reference My friends ! be-
Heve that there is more method more policy
than oversight in this omission. The Re-
publican party has been in power some 40
years in this state. During that time all of
our great corporations have been formed,
railroad franchises granted. booming privi-
legeS. street car. telegraph. telephone and
all other franchises given away, frequently
in perpetuty and without restriction. To
get these and to get them III such form as
was most profitable to the promoters, 1t
was always policy, and sometimes perhaps
necessary for the promoters to stand in
with the party III power They have i'll
rariahy done and do today. Fayors
have been conferred and reciprocated be-
tween the party in power and these special
interests until their end and aim have be-
come almost one. 1t Is hard to tell where
the one commences and the other ends. The
same is true of our public institutions. They
have been built during this period, and have
in many instances become part and parcel
of the political machine OF this state. Under
these circumstances, to ask the party's
leader, for the time being, to discuss Dues
lions affecting the prerogatives of these
various interests is asking Il great deal of
frail human nature. AS an excuse for this
omission to discuss these questions my
opponent refers to the phenomenal growth
and development of our state. He saws
that that speaks we'll for the management
of its affairs by the party in power. Yu1
might we'll refer to the phenomenal
growth of the city of Minneapolis us an
evidence of the good management OF its
finances. He refers to the fusion legs' allure
of 1891. and charges it with excessive eX-
pen'liturc. Perhaps the appropriations We're
larger than they should have been, hut if
they were, why did not the Republican gov
ernor veto them? He WAS there for that
very purpose.

1T Is only few years ago that few
demagogues with little to recommend
them to public attention but abnormal
ly developed mouths attempted to turn
the west against the east and create a
sectional war which might have hurt
this great nation immessursbly. Their
arguments we're astounding to true
Americans, and after the first sur
prise had passed the better element in
the nation, aroused to anger, arose in
mass and protested against this
reasonable propaganda. 1t must be
clear at this time to every thinking
man that the west could no more get
along without the east than the east
could live without the west. Every
day in Boston, New York and other
great financial centers of the east
great companies are formed to exploit
and develop the immense natural re-
sources of the west. And it is not

THE statement from DIR. Yandell
published in yesterdays HERALD is
worthy of confidence. 1t shows the
true state of affairs about the small pox
situation here. 1t corroborates what
the HERALD has said from the first,
that there is at present no ground for
alarm, but that unless proper precau'
tions be taken the situation might get
more serious. DR.. Yandell shows that In
more than three months there have
been only thirty cases and five deaths
in all. Nearly all the cases have been
among unvaccinated persons, and the
record Is a most reassuring one to all
those who have had the idea that this
city was infested with the disease. The
city administration has at last taken
up the matter OF adopting suitable pre-
cautions against the spread OF the dis
ease, but it only moved when forced to
do so by the growing and overwhelm-
ing public sentiment. 1t is time to stop
and think when reputable physicians
can get up In public meeting and
score the administration of the city
health department as some OF the
speakers did the other night. Under
the new regime it Is to be expected
that steps will be Immediately taken
and persisted In by which the spread
of the disease will be arrested and all
traces of it eradicated from the city.
The HERALD has been persistent in
l. -
IL that if this action had been taken
six weeks earlier most of the trouble
would have been avoided.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make Is the best?
II both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.
