perienced its first real estate boom The
town limits were extended, outlets were plat
ted and the place had for a time the an
pearance of typical Western boom town.

crease to the territory's wealth, both in num-
bers and commerce. The population of the
county was $500. the city, 4.716, and the peo-
pie of the entire territory exceeded $4,000. A
conspicuous character in 1856 was Henry Mo-
Kenty. who dealt successfully in ST. Paul
realty.

during 1856. were William L. Banning, ].

In the early days St. Paul and vicinity
seemed to be a rendezvous for bad characters
of all kinds. In 1855 the evil became so
great that a vigilance committee organ
lied, and the police force was increased to
twelve members Robbery was a common
occurrence and several murders were COM
mitted within year. The committee dealt
a great while until crooks gave st. Paul and

The Duty Of Citiz.nshin.

On Tuesday next the citizens of every
state in the Union will have the oppor-
tunity to give expression to their
choice of representative in the ma
tional congress. In many states home
legislators aus we'll as executive officers
are to be chosen. This process is the
simple method provided by our con-
stitution for the perpetuation of the
government of the republic. Indeed.
the method is SO simple and the pro-
cess is so easy that by thousands of
the best citizens the Importance Of the
privilege is urnppreciated, and their
duty in that connection absolutely ig-
nored. This is not right
That which is true, in this regard, in
one state, is equally true In all the
states, in greater or less degree, and
in view Of the ever recurring delin-
quency on the part of the people in
the exercise of their privileges as citi-
zens, the newspaper press of all parties
have come to be the recognized moni-
tors for calling their attention thereto.
It is not only the privilege of citi-
zen to vote; it is his duty to do so, no
matter what his political preferences

of that duty more incumbent upon
them than in Minnesota; and in no
year has that duty been more impera-
tive, so far as those allied with the
Democratic party are concerned, than
the present year. We particularize
representatives of the Democratic par
ty because we know that there are
many conscientious Republicans who,
recognizing the existence of evils and
wrongs imposed upon them in common
with every citizen OF the state, as a
result of the prolonged dominancy of
their party in the executive branch Of
the government, intend to vote for
John Lind for governor, instead of
William H. Eustis, the candidate of
the political ring which hrs fostered so
much corruption here and inflicted so
many hardships upon the people of Min
nesota. This is a year when, If the
Democratic vote is fully polled, Mr..
Lind can, with the aid of the Repub-
lican vote that will go to him, be
elected.

newspapers of the state are democrat

IN NATAL.

Through the long Tamboukie grass we rode
at set of sun
Round the hill, across the spruit, we fol-
lowed one by one
And the cattle lowing, went before and,
ever where they trod.
Crushed the perfume from the grass; IL was
breast high from the sod.
In the swamp. away below Us, famed and
blazed the pokers red
And the many spiked orchid proudly raised
her scented head
The grassbells rang warning in their pink
and purple chime.
The reeds bent low to hear il, and swung
the birds nests TO the rhyme.
The spruit came gurgling down the Kioof be-
tween the Arums gay
Where the ferns grow in the crann!es OF tho
rocks pink and gray.
From out its dull dark foliage the chestnut
bloom was fair.
The moss, like graybeards hanging, en- its
stem straight and bare,
The setting sun was gliding al the berg with
fiery light,
The mist rose in the valley, dim and white.
We passed the big plantation where the wat
tie 1owrs smellsd sweet,
The red dust was rising from the red road
meath our feet.
We were near the kraal at last, and we
cooed long and low
Cracked our whips, and, as the sun sank, the
breeze began to blow
The dogs barked as the cattle through the
open gateway passed,
The rails were shut behind them-our work
was done at last.

Thirteen empty seats In the front row

unOccupied chairs on three sides Of the
Auditorium upstairs and down, ought
to have been filed by William Henry
Eustis' st. Paul friends last night, to
have given the gathering the semblance
Of a genuine Republican mass meeting
The Lowry boomers were out in some
force, free oars having been provided
for their transportation from Mime
apolis to ST Paul and return. Half a
dozen bands of varying degrees of ex,
cellence paraded the town during the
day. Dodgers by the thousand were
distributed at the street corners. Two
daily newspapers were drafted into
service. There was torchlight pro-
cession, so called, of kids and real old
men-and the combined efforts of ev-
erybody and everything concerned re-
suited in an audience only two-thirds
as large as that which greeted John
Lind
And it wasn't an enthusiastic au-
dience, either. ST. Paul was true to
its traditions. The only time when
William Hy ever received real en-
thusiastic greeting In this town was
about eight years ago. And when 1t
was all over he went home and COM
plaired that, he had been kicked sixteen

SHOPPING.

She screamed in terror when her purse
Was snatched from out her jeweled hand,
And hurled a modest semi-curse
Toward the fleeing, bold brigand;
And when the copper caught the thief
She seized the purse with anxious air,
And breathed a sigh Of sweet relief
To find her treasures all were there:
A penciled note
Her fellow wrote
A sugar plum
wad of gum,
A hairpin (benO,
A copper cent,

With broken crook,
A safety pin,
A curling tin,

John II. Ives for Senator.

In recent editorials the Pioneer Press
has instituted comparisons between
the Democratic, and Republican can
didates for the legislature and has
demonstrated, to it's own satisfaction
at least, that the Republican candi-
dates are UNNECESSARILY superior to
their opponents. About some of these
candidates the Pioneer Press must
have been talking without any sort
of examination into their fitness for
office. Take, for instance, Mr.. Ferdi-
nand Barta, who is running for the
senate in the Fifth and Sixth wards.
Mr.. Barta does not own a foot of real
estate in this city and he is paying
no sort Of taxes in this municipality.
The county records show that in 1891,
1892 1895 and 1897 Mr.. Barta failed to
pay personal property taxes in
amounts aggregating $34. The records
also show that four separate execu-
tons were made against him and re-
turned unsatisied. Mr.. Barta, there
fore, pays 40 taxes whatever and the
other people Off the Fifth and Sixth
wards have to gay more because of
his Sinking Of the plain duty of every
good citizen.
Do the voters of the Fifth ward
want such man in the legislature
when they can vote for such a
straightforward, honorable and bril-
l'nnt candidate as John H. Ives?
Mr. Ives made superb record in the
legislature and was foremost in the
great fight for the retention of the
state capitol when Mr. Eustis was try
ing to have ii removed to Orincr mark
Minneapolis.
Between the two candidates for the
senate from the Fifth and Sixth wards
there is indeed no comparison. John H.
Ives stands the intellectual and NOR
al giant alongside the pigmy tax dodg-
er, Ferdinand Barta

Somebody in Minneapolis more Gu
rious than wise yesterday jingled
certain telephone bell in Robert street,
this city, and inquired whether there
was any money over here to bet on
John Lind for governor. The some
body was willing to hazard, say, three
thousand on Eustis. Make 1t five
thousand and I'll take you" was Mr..
Dor&n's reply
"Will you give me a few minutes on
that?"
"Yes. You can have a week if you
want it, was the reply.
