DEATH OF THE V|(F:PRES|DENT.
Succumbs to Long illness The Career Of
Garrett A. Hobart

Vice-President Hobart died at $3.50
o'clock Tuesday morning at his home
In Paterson, N. J| The family and
physician were at Mr.. HUbart's bedside
when he expired.
The vice-president had been failing
since late Monday afternoon, although
the reports given out at the house were
that he was holding his own. At mid
night he became unconscious, and at
O'Clock he had an attack OF angina
pretoris, from which he never rallied.
His death followed. Mrs. Hobart, DR..
Newton, Mrs. Newton, who is cousin
Of Mrs. Hobart, and Miss Alice Wad-
dell, the nurse, were at the patients
bedside constantly from the time he
became unconscious. At 1880 the
vice-president's private secretary, Mr..
Evans, called up the white house by
telephone and notified President Nc
Kinley that Mr.. Hobart was dying. Al
Q o'clock Mr.. Evans communicated
again with the president, notifying him
oe the vice-president's death.
Garret Augustus Hobart was born
June 3. 1874, at Long Branch, Mon
mouth county, N. ]. His ancestors
were English on his fathers side and
Dutch on his mothers. In 1863 he
graduated from Rutgers college at the
early age of 10 years. In the same
year he began to teach school, but
after term Of three months he gave it
up and began the study Of law under
Socrates futile, then the leading law
yer OF Paterson, N. j., and was shortly

here his ability as campaigner soon
became manifest. In 1884 he became
member Of the national committee,
and was elected vice-chairman in 1891.
During the campaign Of 1896, when
he was nominated for vice-president,
Hobart's name was not much known
outside of his own state. His field of
operations was limited because of the
fact that New Jersey usually went
Democratic. This only prevented his
election to the United States senate,
for he was several times the choice of
his party for that honor.
When the problem arose of selecting
running mate for Mckinley who
would be thoroughly in accord with
him on all questions. and who also was
familiar with the machinery necessary
for the operation Of a great campaign,
the choice naturally fell upon Hobart,
and he was nominated almost without
opposition. Since the election he has
occupied his post of honor with dignity
and credit.

Well, well, and so Clerk of Court
Cook is failure as a prophet. For
long months he has been Growing
over the foxyness of the Olivia

that they could not be beaten in

day morning Mr. Cook was obliged
to repair to the court house and
learn that the Bird Island boomers
had been there six or seven hours
earlier, and filed the petition to
place Bird Island on the ticket, and
that the auditor had issued his no

N EW INSPECTION.

The 1899 wheat crop will CON-
mence to pour into the elevators in
about two weeks more. In that
short period Gov. Lind's new band
of grain inspectors will have to
educate themselves for the impor-
tant task of grading the wheat of
Minnesota farmers. They will have
to give it grade that will be fair
to the Minnesota farmer and at the
same time they will have to grade
the crop so that it will command the
grade in the eastern market that
these new inspectors give it in
Minnesota.
It has taken Mr.. Clausen and his
corps of efficient partisan in
spectors almost eleven years to es-
tablish system Of inspection for
Minnesota that has made the grades
of this State a synonym for correct
ness in the markets of the world.
If Buffalo, New York or Liverpool
wanted car load of wheat, or a
train load of wheat, it was safe for
the dealers of those cities to wire a
commission man in St. Paul, Mime
apolis or Duluth for the amount,
stating the grade desired, and feel
certain that when the wheat arrived
at those points new grade would
not have to be given it. Upto Aug.
1st last the Minnesota grades, by
reason of the inspection department
being out Of politics, have really
governed the grading systems of
the world.
But on Aug. 1st Gov. Lind turned
the grain inspection department
over to band of political cormor-
ants having as little knowledge of
the grading and inspection of wheat
as the Governor himself. These
cormorants, about 60 in number,
were appointed because they had a
political pull-not because they
possessed any honest qualifications
for the fair grading of wheat of the
Minnesota farmers. Wheat graded
by this department, under the man
agement of Ed. Reishus, who knows
less about bushel of wheat than a
barrel of beer, from this time for
ward, will have to stand another
grading when it arrives in Eastern
markets, and will be subjected to
such prices in this State as the mil
lers' idea of values will give it.

THE JOURNAL STRINGS.

Who is pulling the strings on the
political editorial writer of our es-
teemed contemporary, the Mime
apolis Journal, nowadays? Only
a short time ago he was cudgeling
Senator Somerville on the ground
that there were numerous holes in
his bill, now law, taxing foreign
corporations, and claiming that the
holes would injure the Senator from
this district in his political aspira-
tions. Now the Journal admits that
the money is rolling into the treas
ury at the rate of about $500 per
day, as a result of that, and claims
that the law is a good law and it's
success is gratifying.
About the same time that the Sen
ator was attacked by the Journal
on the law taxing corporations, the
representative from this Congress
sional district came in for eulogy
on the many things of National inn
portance he had done-none of
which, however, appears on the
statute book. In the issue of Tues
day of last week, in which Senator
Somerville's tax law is eulogized,
appears another eulogy on the
representative from this district
who is now seeking fourth term
denomination to Congress. The
eulogy claims that the representa-
tive is a poor man, and for this
reason is being attacked by his
enemies. But the fact that he has
recently purchased land down in
Murray county may overcome this
obstacle, The Journal thinks.
Let US see! The representative
has passed through each one of his
three previous campaigns, accord
ing to his own statements, for less
than $500 each. This would make
not over $500 expended in the three
campaigns. The salary of repre-
sentative in Congress is S., 900 per
year and mileage, making total
of $50, 900 for the six years which he
has served, not counting the mile
age he has gathered in or the per-
quisites of a representative, nor the
clerk hire distributed in his own
family. It is barely possible that
the representative carries railroad
pass or two, and that the mileage
paid him is clean gain, as result.
We hardly think that the repre-
sentative can be called poor man,
and The Journals attempt to Gre
ate sympathy for a cripple on that
ground is decidedly weak. If he is
a poor man it is no credit to him af-
ter his many years of feeding at the
public crib-Congressional and State
Normal school, and the representa-
tative should pull the strings of his
newspaper friends into changing
tactics-a two hours talk on "my
bill, or Il want you to tell them
that Mr.. McCleary said so"-for in
stance.

Praise Treasurer Worth.

The Financial Review of New York
city says of Treasurer Worth in The
issue this week:
The decision of the Supreme Court
of North Carolina to the effect that
State Treasurer w. III. Worth was
right in refusing to pay out of the
$4,000 realized by a bond issue, the
penitentiary debts, justifes the stan
taken by that official, which was at the
time declared by New York lawyers to
be based on solid legal grounds. Treas
urer Worth contended that these debts
should be paid from the annua apnro-
nriatim and not from the bond issue.
This j sn0t only the case where his
tirmnCSS has proven to be dictated by
good sense. In many of his official acts
he has evinced Il clear erstanding OF
his rights and duties, and has been up
held by public opinion, and by the bench
He is among the most efficient and
painstaking public servants of the
State, and he has during his incumbency
made a record of which he may prop
erly feel proud"
