It was about week before last
Decoration day that Horatio Sparrow
come into the postofiice lookin as II ne
had sunthin on his mind, and as Soon
Ms he got the chance he whispered 10
me:
"Dont say nuthin to q Twin SOUL

.In what way?" said l.
"Never you. mind, pap. You jest git
ready to feel the airth tremDle, anu
tomorrow mornin you kin put SZoo
more value on your house and lot"
Horatio is a man who never glts eA'
cited when he wakes up and mus u
COW in his garden, and felt quite sure
he had sunthin big on hand. He must
hev told about so other people what
he did me, as there was big crowd
at the postoflice at Z o'clock in the

impatient he said.

Deafness canno. be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one wayt to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF tie Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an nfamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by catarrh)

Rank Injustice,

The next great issue, after this
campaign ended, will come over the
suppression of the coloced vote in the
South. 1t will not be because the
vote is suppressed by educati nal
qualifications.
The people recognize the right of
each state to regulate, as it deems
best for it's own good, the lualifica-
tion Of it's voters. But because the
South has undue presentation in
Congress. The Des MoineS Daily
News prints startling Illustration of
this injustice.
Iowa has population according to
the census of 1890 of l,6l1.S06. Geor-
gia has population according to the
same census of 1,S37,353. These two
states, it will be noted, have almost
the same population.
In 1896 Iowa cast 521,547 votes,
while Georgia cast only 1853, 06l votes.
Based on the census, however, Iowa
has thirteen congressman and Georgia
has 10 congressman.
What does this mean? Iowa with
the same electoral representation as
Georgia casts more than three times as
many votes for president as Georgia.
Yet Georgia, with less than a third
OF Iowa's vote has as many
votes in congress as the
Hawkeye state. 1t simply means
that the colored man is counted in
the census CT Georgia but is not count
ed at the ballot box.
At a time when there is so much
talk about the consent Of the govt rn-
ed, at a time VIXEN the legislature Of
Georgia, along with other states, is
amending it's organic law SO as to per-
manently disfranchisc. a large MAORI
ty of the citizens, it is a good time
TO call the attention Of congress to
the provisions OF the fourteenth
amendment. If Georgia cuts down
it's oWn vote to one third that of
Iowa, under the provisions OF this
amendment, She is entitled to only
one third as many congressman as
Iowa. Else Georgia secures three
times the vote and the influence in
congress she is entitled to.
Looked at from almost any point
of view a plain statement of the COM
parative representation of the state in
congress presents a situation almost
startling. 1t involves the problem Of
popular government.

Among other things he said:

surprising il it continues so until the
end OF the present year. Ore buying

true of chartering boats for the trans

II do not look for much change

ELY, MINNESOTA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER e. 1900
A Little Figuring.

An estimate made places the total
vote of Minnesota at $4,000 for the
next election provided there is any,
thing like a full vote cast.
The largest vote Minnesota ever re-
corded was in the presidential cam
paign four years ago. The total num-
Der OF ballots in that great contest
reached 341, 1852, and it will therefore
be seen that the estimate of $4,000
for this year is very conservative.
There were %, 12O more votes cast in
Minnesota in the 1896 election than
there were registered in 1893 for the
state election. And of the entire
registration two years ago, which was
1913, 642, there were cast Psi, $50 ballots
showing that there was stay-at-
home of 90,512 of the total vote of
1896 and of 1882 of the total number
of names registered in 1898.
-Four years ago Mckinley carried
the. state by plurality over Bryan by
So. 1853. Giving the same percentage of
the increased vote which is expected
this year to Mckinley and Bryan re-
spectively and the former should re-
ceive this year of the total vote 200, 900
and Bryan $4,000.
This will leave a margin of 10000
for the prohibition, midroad Populist,
social-labor and the national-inde-
pendent party tickets.
While the above is only an approXi-
mate estimate, it was prepared with
considerable care and thorough ex-
animation into the former election
statistics of the North Star state.
No Democrat leader, not even eX-
cepting the exceedingly optimistic
Senator Jones chairman of the nation
al Democratic committee thinks of
claiming Minnesota for Bryan.
They concede the state to Mckinley,
Mr.. Bryan is coming to Duluth and a
few points in the state for the pur-
pose of helping out the present Cover
nor in his almost hopeless contest for
a reelection and to give the fusion
nominees a boost.

Neither of the gashes were particu-

of this fact Judge Van Blarcom be-
fore whom Jarvi was taken Wednes-
day. sentenced che prisoner TO ninety
days at hard labor in lieu of binding
him over to the grand jury where an
other of the numerous law farces
would be enacted aud the prisoner
