Resolution Aimed at McCardy
SmOthered by His Friends

The committee on resolutions had to do a
good deal of sitting in order to maintain any
consistency with the anticipated proceedings,
and accordingly number of resolutions were
turned down. Among them was the follow
ing:
Whereas, the Republican party has always
recognized as cardinal principal their
PARTY doctrine that American municipalities
should enjoy without limit or restriction
the right of local self-government, and
Whereas, we, the Republican party of the
city Of st. Paul, believe it to be essential
to the free exercise of that right and in
promotion Of the cause CT clean, economical
and efficient city government that the peo-
pie should be guaranteed the power at reas-
enable intervals through the exercise Of the
elective franchise to change their public
servants.
Resolved. That we, the Republican party
of the city Of St. Paul, in convention as
sembled. hereby express our opposition to
the practice of retaining officials in elective

to assume that 1t was time to nominate
Mr.. McCardy, formality that has
been gone through with at several
conventions. He went further and took
it as the sense Of the meeting that
there would no one presume to oppose
Mr.. McCardy. He was wrong to some
extent, for there had been a sharp
canvass for some one to run against
McCardy all day. Mr.. Kirke had de-
clined to decline.
When Mr.. Horr sat down, Mr.. Hor-
ton of the Seventh, got up. He was
sore, and he didn't care who knew 1t.
He was astonished that any one should
come into Republican convention and
presume to shut off debate and give
away the good things of office without
asking leave. The city might be the
heritage Of Mr.. McCardy. but he didn't

Donahower people were begging the
members to keep their promise, but
they had to be satisfied to let them
vote for Mailer again. This obviously
weakened Donahower and the men who
feared kiefer'S vengeance and were not
much in touch with the others, began
to vacillate. Schiffmann changed the
vote from the Fourth to Mailer when
the Seventh refused to deal with him,
and another chance to nominate Dona-

last chance he had.

THE DEAL CONSuMATED.
The Big Lumber Interests of Heidrick,
MatSOn & Co. Pass Into The Possess
sion OF Cook & Gragam.

! The sale of the Heidrck, Matson & Co
timber and mill properties and railroad
interests, that has been under considera.
tion for several weeks, was consumated
the latter part of last week, the new OPP
orators taking possession Monday morn
ing last, The parties interested in this
extensive transaction are Levi Heidrick
II. NJ. Matson and Mrs. Geo. Weber, who
comprised the firm of Hcidrick, Matson
Il Co., and the purchasers, A. Wayne
Cook, of Cooksburg, Forest Co., and n.
f. Graham, of East Brady, Clarion Co.
! The consideration is in the neighborhood
of 100000.
The property comprises 3,lO0 acres of
timber land, saw mill, planing-mill,
shingle mill, fifty acres of land at Brook
vile, in fact all of the Litch property
purchased by Heldrick, Weber and os-
burn several years ago; also the control

which is seventeen miles long, abort
four miles of private railroad one mile
of lumber yard tracks, two 32-ton Lima
locomotives, thirty log trucks practically
new, two gondolas, one passenger coach
and all the equipments necessary for op-
Grating the railway, woods operations
and mills. The deal also includes vari-
Gus contracts for the purchase oflogs, the
contract for stocking and manufacturing
the remainder of the timber owned by
Truman, Henderson & Gray on the Hays
transfer. in addition to all of this, took in
five offices equipped for carrying on the
business of the woods, mill and railroad.
Fourteen million feet of ltm mber in the
yards, nine million feet belonging to
Hoidrick, Matson & Co., and five million
to Truman, Henderson & Gray is not in
cluded in the sale.
The property that changes hands by
this sale is one of the largest and best
equipped lumber plants in the country.
Under the general management of Mr..
Heidrick great deal of capital has been
added TO tho original investment. The
mill has been remodeled until it has a
capacity of saving 100000 feet of lumber
in day, or about twenty million feet
year, and other improvements for NOV
ing forward on modern and competing
lines were introduced, the most notable
OF which was the construction of the
Brookville Railroad, which furnishes ia-
cilities not only for stocking the mill but
marketing its vast product on an entirely
new basis.
Messrs. Cook and Graham, the new
proprietors, are not strangers to our peo-
pie. They are well-known lumbermen,
whose success in business has made it
possible for them to take hold of this big
enterprise in addition to the other busi-
ness they own and operate, and it is inti-
mated that their recent purchase means
an extension of the railroad and longer
lease of life and prosperity TO one of
Brookvilles leading industries Brooks

Only Too True.

The Punxsutawney Spirit shows up
certain kind Of maligners and Sian.
derers in this able manner:
''It is the fashion for party news.
papers, and men who are ambitious
for power and place, to slander and
misrepresent everybody in public life.
And what is astonishing about it is
that the chief offenders are looked
upon by large class OF people who
have an appetite for that sort of stuff
as heroes and reformers, instead Of
libelers and deiamers of their gener.
alton, as they really are.
There are men everywhere who
lend an eager ear to the maligners of
their country's honor, and who drink
in with relish all the bad things said
of their neighbors, that want to be re.
garded as good citizens. They are
not. 1t is as much mans duty to
resent an unjust word or insinuation
as to resent blow. We should en-.
courage truth telling and discourage
lying by despising the assassiDs of
character as heartily as we hate the
thug who lies in wait for his victim.
"The man who scandalizes his
country and teaches its youth to be,
lieve that the State or National gov.
ernment is seething mass Of corrup.
tion, for the sole purpose of supplant.
ing smoebody in Office, is a more
dangerous enemy than any foreign
foe.
eff these criticisms we're inspired
by desire to make men better, we
might forgive the men who utter
them, even when based upon grossly
exaggerated statements. But such is
seldom if ever the case. 1t is the
narrow minded, selfseeklng. iguor.
ant and bigoted man who delights in
the abuse OF men and measures. A
good man never does it. Such con.
duct is entirely inconsistent with
either true patriotism or true man.

his neighbor cannot be a genuine
lover of his country"
