Y Can't BE Pooled That Way.


on the charge that Jim Hill would no
be apt to support Eustis gives answer t
the lie as follows:
Another means Of creating sympathy
) for the Republican candidate is tn
statement that President Hill Of tn
Great Northern is not pleased with Nj
Eustis' nomination, will not contribute
to the campaign fund, and is even likel,
to help Mr.. Lind's candidacy. There j
as little foundation for this fear as ther,
is for Clough's treacherY. Mr.. Hill Hill.
personal and business interests are al
with the Republican party. He may no
be able to use Mr.. Eustis as completed,
as he has the present administration, ye
he has closer sympathies with that gen
tleman and his party than he could ex
pect to have with Mr.. Lind. The reas
ons that induced him to give, as is al
legged, $4,000 to aid in defeating Mr.
Lind, cannot have been so completely
obliterated in two years as to enlist his
support of that gentleman. No, indeed
Ever since the candidacy of Mr.. McGill
the Republican state ticket has had the
hearty support and the financial aid Of
the railroad corporations of Minnesota
They have p1o6ted by the close alliance
maintained with that party, and it is not
to be severed now, when there is so little
cause for so doing, and in the face of the
impossibility of effecting 80 good one
with Mr. Lind and the Democratic::party.
This attempt to create sympathy fo1
Mr.. Eustis, on the ground of railroad
hostility, looks very much like the dodge
so successfully played in the campaign
when Judge Wilson, Democrat, and W.
R. Merriam, Republican, were pitted
against each other. Because If his serv-
ices as attorney for the Winona railroad
company, Judge Wilson was proclaimed
as corporation man and the farmers were
warned not to vote for him. Standing
proclamations to this effect were printed
at the heads of nearly every Republican
paper IN the state, and it had the effect
of misleading many unsuspecting voters.
Within two weeks of election day a Sc
cret movement was inaugurated and car
ried out by which Mr.. Merriam received
the support of nearly every railroad en-
ploye in tile state, and in this manner
Judge Wilson was defeated. The rail-
roads could not use him as governor,
though they employed his great abilities
in legitimate legal matters. They knew
the man and defeated him. They can
not now use John Lind, and, however
much sensational papers may say to the
contrary, they will not permit his cleo
ton if it is in their power to prevent it.
Cost of Wars. -
In the twenty-five years following
1898, Napoleon cost the British and
French nations $6,500,000,000 n d
100000 lives. The Crimean war cost
$1,000, 100000 and 100000 lives. The
short Franco-Prusslan war cost 81 $780,
100000 in actual expenses, $1,O00,000,-
900 indemnity additional, paid by France.
The A erican revolution cost only
$4,000, 00O-an enormous sum for the,
struggling states, but which could now
be paid out of the money lying idle in
the treasury. The great rebellion cost
the north in direct outlay $3,400,000,-
900. Join to this the direct outlay by the
Confederacy, and the contingent loss by
destruction Of property and interference
with industries, the total cost was not
far from SIS, 900, 1000, 900. This sum would
purchase all the railroads in the United
States, and every building and all the
equipment belonging to them; every
canal, and every boat that floats on them !;
every vessel flying the American flag on
every ocean, lake and river in the world !;
all the miles of telegraph and telephone
lines and the properties belonging to
them; all the mines of every kind in the
nation and there would be enough left
to buy every school house and church
the whole country over.-The Keystone.
A man who went away from home
some time ago to attend convention of
church people was struck with the beau
ty of the little town in which the gath
ering was held. He had plenty of time,
and while wandering about walked into
the village cemetery. It was a beauti-
full place, and the delegate walked
around among the graves. He saw a
monument, one Of the largest III the Gem
etery, and read with surprise the lnscrip-
ton on it.:
ga lawyer and an honest man.
