Ex-senator Washburn of Minnesota is of
the distinguished Republicans of the time. His
service in the United States Senate was highly
creditable, and his eminent success in business
has been on high lines. Those who have read
his recent interviews trusts need not be told
that he is lucid. direct, and candida man who
not only has ideas, but who is able to comrnuni-
cate them clearly to others. We direct the at
tention of Chairman Dick especially to this SUBJ
iect Mr.. Washburn's name is not in the list OF
distinguished spellbinders invited to Ohio by

The suspicion is growing that Captain
Dreyfus and his family may shortly visit
the United States, where hearty welcome
is ready for them. 1t appears that guam
tity of luggage marked for this country
and belonging to the former prisoner of
lie de Diable is said to have been identi-
fed in England. The story, If true, will
be painful news to Exposition Commission
er Peck. A Dreyfus visit at this time
would not promote the Paris scheme to
any alarming extent.

The New York Tribune has organized
a sort of a sunshine trust, reports OF whose
operations are to be found on the page de-
voted to the home circle. This is appro-
pirate, because homes are often very much
in need of sunshine, and the inhabitants
are naturally interested in the news con-
cerning its manufacture. Literally, this
trust is Sunshine Society,"" warranted
to supply happiness in assorted pieces
wherever necessary. In recent issue OF
the paper appears the statement that a
barrel of sunshine was received at the
Tribune Office for distribution. 1t ap-

a member of the society, aged eighty-two,

the sunshine picnic on account Of business
engagements in the city. On the whole,
it seems almost providential that he had
business engagements. Promiscuous pic

there are no hydrants in that

hook and ladder were there and did
what they could to save the building

GEO. GElSSEL SELLS OUT.
Will Move With his Family to
California -One of the
Old Settlers

George Geissel has sold his stock of
goods, store building and other pro-
perty and intends to move to Cali
fornia with his family. His stock of
merchandise was purchased by the
Chaplin TibbOt Commercial Co., Of
Los Angeles, CAL, and much, Of it
will be shipped to that city, where
they are the proprietors Of depart
ment store. The store building, farm
land and other property, has been
purchased by w. H. Robbins, OF
Minneapolis, who will open a gen.
eral store here in about sixty days.
Mr.. Geissel has taken in exchange a
ranch in Orange county, California,
about thirty miles from Los Angeles,
and he will move to that country
with his family as soon as he can adj
just some business matters though
not, probably, before next December.
Mr.. Geissel is one of the old settlers
in Minnesota, and his going away
will seem like the obliterating of a land
mark, for he has lived in this part of
the state sine 1856, barring the time
spent serving his country as a SOL
der. He has seen this country grow
from wilderness to what it is to-
day and has taken no small part in
it's Development. Mr.. Geissel settled
in Stearns county, where he served
an sheriff from 1870 to 1876, and then
moved to Morrison, where he has
since lived. The old Both senatorial
district, comprising the counties OF
Morrison, Todd, Crow Wing and
Mile Laos, honored him with. a seat
in the state senate, and he has held
other positions of trust and honor.
We are all sorry to have him leave
Royalton and trust the state Of
'golden promise" will prove so in
reality to him and his family.

Catarrh being constitutional dis

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up

While public speakers are still

While public speakers are still
denouucing trusts, and dec laring
that their favorite political party
will make proper declarations in
future platforms, and carry out
the will Of the people when in
power, little is said Of practical
nature. The national politician
often declares that the states must
be depended on to thwart the
trusts, and the state leader de-
clares that the strong power OF
the national government must
bring needed relief. But it is
seldom that an effort is made to
tell just what can be accomplished.
The trusts are no longer combina'
tions of corporations, out as rule
one big corporation owns plants
in many parts of tn e nation. An
antitrust law to prevent corpora
tions from cooperating to control
production and distribution is out
of date. It is conceded to be legal
and right that man or corpora.
ton may own more than one mill,
and Just where the limit Of &C.
cumulation can be stopped Is not
apparent. The practical sugges.
ton is that in the United States
protective tariff he removed from
articles manufactured by trusts.
If such an application of free
trade would result in DESTROYING
the industry in the United States,
the remedy might be worse than
the disease. Then again the
largest, Oldest and most powerful
of all trusts, the Standard Oil COM
pany, has no tariff protection on
it's product. The American peo'
pie will t'y and find some way to
meet and remedy the evils of
trusts, but they will not blindly fol-
low ranting demag oges who howl
against trusts but fail utterly to
point out legal remedy. The at.
tempt to revive free trade in the
guise of a fight against the trusts
will not attract voters, because
they know that free trade will be
an injury to all interests.
Whether it will incidentally hurt
the trusts particularly is not the
main point. Some means Of pro-
tectlng the people from trusts is
desired witho ut destroying bust
ness and industries generally.

ST. CLOUD COMPL Amt.
A Kick for the Through Rate
on the Northern Pacific #
Freight Business. ss

st. Cloud is still trying to keep the
Northern Pacific from a part OF the
through freight business between
the head OF the lakes and Twin
Cities without cutting rates in two.
A lengthy petition has been fled
with the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and the following is a part
Of it: l..,rs Wv, =. 81
"That the refusal of the said de-
feudant to apply said tariffs to the
city of st. Cloud constitutes a gross
discrimination against st. Cloud and
lays and imposes much greater,
burdens upon the said city, it's mer-.
chants, shippers and inhabitants
than in cities which are located long
or distances from said West Super
ior and Wisconsin points and Du-
luth upon the line of the railroad of
the defendant. That there is annu-
ally consumed in the city OF st. Cloud
more than 1890 tons of hard coal,
which at the local tariff rate charged
shippers at st. Cloud would make a
discrimination and difference as
against them in favor of the con-
sumers OF the same quantity of coal
as st. Paul, Minneapolis, Anoka and
Elk River of 81, 725. That there is
annually marketed at the city of St.
Cloud in the neighborhood of 100000
bushels of wheat, the difference in
the freight rates upon which be-
tween st. Cloud and West Superior
and other Wisconsin points and St.
Paul, Minneapolis, AnOka and Elk
River would amount to more than
the sum of 1925, 1000. Complainant
further says that a careful compu-
tation of the difference in the freight
rates for year computed according
to the local rates now in force
at said st. Cloud and the rates
specified in and by said through tar
ifs SO as aforesaid put in force by
said defendant would amount to at
least the sum OF $4,000, to which ex-
tent said tariffs constitute a dis
elimination against the said city Of
st. Cloud and in favor OF the cities Oh
st Paul, Minneapolis, Anoka and
Elk River. All OF which constitutes
a gross discrimination against the
business and business men of st.
Cloud"
The petition will be signed by the
mayor and the city attorney.

Northern Pacific Land Sale.

Long Prairie Argus: The sale OF
the Northern Pacific lands today
has drawn quite number OF people
to town. There has been some
alarm felt that the sale would jeop-
ardize interests OF parties who
purchased lands from the company,
or who owns lands in which the N.
P. has claimed interests. The peo-
pie are needlessly alarmed, as the
notice states that all the rights and
title of the Northern Pacific railroad
company will be sold, and it is evil
dent that they can't transfer any
title to land that has been patented
to settlers, or such lands as settlers
have earned by purchase on contract.
Some lands may have been listed as
N. P. lands to which that company
has not title, but there is no danger
that they can make a title by this

game commences promptly at three

to wait for an audience.
This game will undoubtedly be

the fact that it is the first time that
mines composed of the following men
have tried to beat each other in a
game of ball.
The managers OF the game say
that each person present will be
given seat and a hard boiled egg
for five cents. Raw eggs have been
forbidden on the grounds.
The proceeds of the game go to
benefit the grass-hoppers in North
Dakota. The mines will line up as
