That is, the automatic coupler and

lers of uniform type, and to have at
least a certain number of cars Of each
train equipped with air or other power
brakes, so as to obviate the use of hand
brakes, which are very dangerous in
icy or sleety weather. This bill was
opposed by strong and insistent lobby,
led by the Pennsylvania Railroad com.
pany, but after hard contest the lobby
was beaten and Mr.. Lind's bill became
law. Another bill of commercial value
to the Northwest made Minneapolis
port Of entry. Mr.. Lind was con-
coded authority in the house on the
subjects concerned with tho public
lands, of SO much Importance to the
West. In the contest over the tariff
Mr.. Lind was hard fighter, and
showed his independence by declining
to be bound by the declarations Of the
Republican caucus. He fought tho
tariff on lumber because, as he said, it
committed the nation to the idiocy Of
destroying its own forests rather than
those of other people. He fought for
free sugar, for free materials for MAX
ing binding Irvine and for free twine
In 1890 MIR. Lind was elected third
time, defeating General James IL.
Baker of Garden City. In 1892 he de-
clined to become q candidate again,
for personal reasons, and the present
congressman, James I. McCleary, was
elected to succeed Mr.. Lind The plat
form adopted ut Mankato accorded tho
retiring congressman this compliment:
1--WE recognize in Hon. John Lind.
our present member of congress, an
able and efficient representative, and
trust that his voluntary retirement
from the field of active legislative duty
will be only temporary"
In 1898 Governor Nelson appointed
Mr.. Lind, who had returned to the
practice of law at New Ulm, regent
of tho University of Minnesota. Mr..
Lind was an early recruit to the finan-
cial policy espoused by Senator Teller
and other Silver Republicans. In 1896
the Democratic and Peoples party NOM
mated him for governor and he made
splendid run. David M. Clough defeat

schools. He taught one year in Sibley
county, but not being satisfied with the
compensation in new country at that
time, he, in 1878, took up his residence
in New Ulm, where he has since re.
sided, respected and honored among
men. By the dint of hard study, in.
dustry and strict economy, he was able
to attend the State university in 1876
and 1876, having in mind then the
practice of law. Utilizing all his op-
portunities for private study and priv
ileged as he was to work in the office of
New Ulm practitioner, he was ad.
mittcd to the bar Immediately upon
leaving the university at the age of II.
In 1877 he began the practice of law
and, taking an active interest in public
life, was chosen superintendent of
schools of Brown county. This position
he held for two years, declining re.
nomination in order that he might de-
vote himself entirely to the profession
upon the adoption of which he had now
fully determined, namely, the law.
In 1881, under the administration of
Garfield and Arthur, he was made re.
ceiver of the land Office at Tracy, Lyon
county, which position he held until
the election of Grover Cleveland, still
being able, however, to care for his
private practice at New Ulm. Mr..
Lind's natural talent and diligence
made him name more than local, and
his prosecution of several suits. notably
those against railroad companies, won
him not q little renown. He was active
in the councils Of the Republican party,
and in 1886 he was nominated to repre-.
sent the Second district in congress.
The Second district then comprised
20 counties-practically all of South
western Minnesota. That was a hard
fought campaign, but Mr.. Lind was
elected by splendid plurality. Two
years later he was renominated and
again elected, his adversary this time
being Colonel Morton S. Wilkinson, a
veteran leader, who had been one of
Minnesota s three representatives in the
house from 1869 to 1871, and United
States senator during the war. He
took an active interest in the affairs of
the Indians and secured the passage of
bill establishing seven Indian schools
in various parts of the country, one of
them being located at Pipestone, in this
state. Another sphere of work of local
Importance was the pushing of some
old claims for the depredations of the
Indians during the outbreak of 1862.

The conference of the Institute of
Journalists held in London during the

er. if the dictates of the institute are
oheyed. editors must refrain from invit-
ing contributions from persons of wealth,
position, society stars, etc, because they
thus deprive of valuable space those who
are journalists by profession and have no
other means of livelihood. 1t was also
resolved to form n committee whose duty
is to investigate charges against papers
manipulating items of news or unduly
