laws. The first thing to be done clearly
suggests itself as that of finding out and
making public what the trusts are, how
they operate, and what is the effect of
their operations on the currents of COM
mercial and industrial life Until we
know some of those things and the knowl-
edge is generally available it is useless
to proceed with the present abortive war
fare on them. If, in addition to this, pub
lie authority will punish severely the
schemes of the trusts which result in de-
stroying individual industries by raising
or lowering the price of their products
to effect the ruin of competitors, the first
needful step will have been taken in the
required direction These two courses,
combined with the abolition Of tariffs on
trust productions, are fundamental to ef-
fective handling of these monster crea-
tions.

cuss the issues, and presently he turned
his attention to Grover Cleveland,

weight of the Democratic administration

will do it, and when the delegates arrive
it will be found that the movement Is

Democratic party and Mr.. Bryan in
vacillating position, like the present ad-

A WRONG IHEA.

Much disappointment has been express
ed at the press reports which announced
the dismissal of the indictment by the
New York grand jury of the criminal
charge of conspiracy against the officers
Of the ice trust That action has been
wrongly regarded by many as involving
a failure of all prosecution of the trust
and those connected with it.
Later advices show that no such result
has come to the prosecutions. Thus far
the trust has Jared as hard as any one
had reason to anticipate, and much hard
er than many believed possible. It's
business has been brought under pubic
scrutiny, and is row conducted in the
face of a strong competition. 1t has
in no sense or degree any longer a mo-
nopoly, or anything approaching a mo-
nopoly, in its product, and the price Of
ice in the great metropolis has been as
a result mate.i tally reduced The fate Of
certain politicians who had prostituted
their influence and position to the greed
of the ice combination is settled and pub
lie reprObation has been made to rest
heavily en- them.
Now it also appears that the effort of
the trust TO get rid of the investigation
ordered by the court into the conduct Of
its affairs has ignominiously failed. Writs
of prohibition had been issued against
the referee who had been appointed, to
prevent his going on with the investiga-
tion. On these the trust relied to put an
end to the knowledge which threatened
to be at the disposal of the public. But
they have been set aside, and the investi-
CATION has been ordered to proceed as
originally intended.
This is a substantial victory 1t is a
thorough exposure of the methods Of the
trust, rather than the punishment of its
officers, which the public is interested in.
Both civil and criminal proceedings were
instituted against the trust by the Jour
nal The former have thus far been
entirely successful, even regarded from
the purely legal standpoint, and all that
was sought to be done is in fair way
of accomplishment. Through the inves-
tigation, which is thus upheld, it will
become possible to learn all the circum-
stances attending the organization of the
trust, as well as something substantial
about the influences which enabled GER
tain leading politicians and of1ceholders
to secure large blocks of the stock of the
trust.

COLE wArER REsuLrs.

However lightly a man may hold the
single principle of pubic conduct repre-
sented by the Prohibition party, it is not
difficult to entertain a feeling akin to
respect for those who year after year go
to hopeless defeat in the assertion of
their convictions 1t may be sheer fanat-
icism, but like all the higher and more
intelligent forms of fanattcism it is be-
yond denial that in the abstract at least
the end aimed at is in the highest degree
commendable and designed to serve hu-
manity.
The platform and the candidates of the
Prohibitionists represent alike the most
radical expression of the views of the
party. They are even more pronounced
in radiealism than one looks for. The
enthusiasm which might Well be expected
to burn low after all the rebuffs which
have been met with blazeS out anew
on such an occasion as that of a national
convention, and it becomes hard to read
the proceedings or declarations of such
convention without a feeling that they
love their kind who will show such devo-
ton to the essentially humane idea of
abstinence from intoxicating drink.
It is a happy circumstance that in the
face of the advance made in recent years
in the paternal conception of government
the American people have still adhered
to unqualified opposition toward sumptu-
ary laws. The right of the individual
to do what to him seems best, consist
emily with the rights of his fellow man,
still lies at the very basis of our social
and legal system, and until it has been
abandoned there can never be the slight
| est hope that the American people will
look on the prohibition movement as
other than a mere expression of unrea-
son and intolerance of others under
standing of the requirements of life.
The name of John C. Wooley will lend
much of enthusiasm to the campaign of
the Prohibitionists, but it will not be
| effective III doing any more toward carry
ing conviction to the minds of the people
than in the past, and the Prohibition
| party will be as far as it ever has bsen
from in the slightest substantial way af-
! fecting the general result in the ap-
preaching election. One might well wish

what they conceive to be in the general
| interest would devote their energies to

oates. There was no opposition. to his
nomination.
The great b.under, If 1t was a blunder
and not the result of deliberate purpose,
made by the Republican state conven-
tion was in the selection of candidates
for railroad commissioners. The Hon.
A. N. Dare, of Elk River, the speaker of
the last house of representatives, and
ere of the most prominent and respected
citizens of the Sixth congressional dis
trict, was badly defeated in the con-
vention by one Joseph G. Miller, an in
dividual who until a few days ago was
absolutely unknown outside of the cir
cumscribed, scantily populated areas of
Lake county, ard who resides at the town
of Two Harbors, on the north shore of
Lake Superior Mr.. Miller was nomi-
mated for railroad commissioner over Mr..
Dare.
This Joseph G. Miller is employed as a
minor clerk in the master mechanics
office of one of the iron range railroads.
His sponsor was the claim agent Of one
of those railroads which is controlled
by the Rockefelers. He was put forth
by this claim agent as the representa-
tive of organized labor, and large
amount of money must have been spent
TO secure his nomination, judging by the
crowds of strikers engaged in booming
his candidacy Sucn is the individual
who defeated Mr. Dare ard whose can
didacy forced Charles T. Staples, Of Da-
kota county, another of the Republican
nominees, to fiji the humiliaung position
of the short term candidate.
Judge Ira Z. Mills, of Moorhead, the
third nominee, is a former member of the
commission, and owes his nomination to
the interchangeable efforts of the former
chief grain inspector, Mr.. y. c. Clau-
sen, whose cohorts did not scruple to en-
ter into a combination with the support
ers of the Rockefeller protege to defeat
Dare and other candidates.
The most brilliant star in the crown
of the Republican state convention, how
ever, was the election of Hon. E. T.
Young, of Appleton, as permanent chair
man. Mr.. Young is a young lawyer
of much ability, and a member Of the
state senate, who won renown in certain
quarters, during the last session of the
state legislature, by defeating the bill to
increase the gross earnings tax on rail-
road earnings to 4 per cent
It will not be surprising if the people
at the polls repudiate the Republican
state convention and all its works. 1t
now rests with the Democratic party of
Minnesota to give the people set Of
candidates they can vote for without
feeling that they are handing the states
affairs over to the control Of some en-
ploye of grabbing corporation.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
AND ITS WORKS.

=.
The full effect of the work of the
Republican state convention will not be
realized for some time yet, but there are
not wanting indications that the Re
puhlican rank and file. the great masses
of the party, who were not consulted as
to tho composition of the ticket, will
express strong dlsapprovaI of many of
the acts OF the delegates.
The feeling of many prominent Repub-
ncans regarding the nomina ton of Sam
uel Il. Van SAINT for governor was aptIv
expressed by one of them Who was
credited with gubernatorial aspirations
himself. at one time.
The Republican convention" said he.
would rather nominate Van SAINT than
elect me governor"
Many Republican leaders are of the
opiniun that Van SAINT cannot be elected
and his vacillation and timidity in his
relations with the candidates and dee
gates before and during the convention
IS well as his futile interference at in
opportuEe times, created much dlssatis-
faction ard annoyance, and have left
him many lukewarm supporters
The nominee for lieutenant governor,
Hon. Lyndon A. Smith, is a decent,
pleasaut-spoken gentleman. who at
present holds the office, and is a worthy
representative of certain railroad inter
ests.
Peter Z. Hanson, the nominee for sec
retary Of state. is a Swede, hailing from
Litchfeld, and was nominated because
he is a Swede. He is a state sena-
tor and is reported to be a strong friend
of "the corporations" He is in no sense
a wor,hy representative of the Swedish
American citizen either in ability educa-
ton, o. a-y CT those qualities which a
person who aspres TO prominence in
pubic life should possess. He was NOM
mated after a bitter contest.

nee for state treasurer, is the big, bluff

DISPUTES EDDY's CLAIM.

1t has always been supposed hereabOuts
that Congressman Eddy's claim to being
the homeliest man in congress was un-
disputed, but it develops that Representa-
tive f. W. Cushman, of Washington,
thinks in a contest he would stand show
for the money. Mr.. Eddy declines to
yield priority to his younger colleague,
and fees quite aggrieved that the latter
should have dared dispute his supremacy.
Mr.. Cushman, on the other hand, is en-
thusiastic in his belief that he can sur
pass the MinnesOtan and offers to submit
the question to a vote of the house.
Not very lOng ago, a Washington paper
says, Mr.. Eddy had to so home to check
a rival who aspired to his seat in con-
gress. This rival at a public meeting de-
nounced Mr.. Eddy's course in a certain
political matter and declared that the con-
gresham was two-faced.
Mr.. Eddy, securing a hearing in the
same town later, asked his audience these
questions:

come before you boldly and exhibit them?
Isn't one of this kind enough?"
In the outburst of merriment which fol-
lowed this sally, the rivals chances were
swept away.

SENATOR JONES ARRIVES.
Gives His Views as TO the Platform

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June Ex-senator
Jones, Of Arkansas, chairman of the
Democratic national committee. arrived
IN Kansas City tonight, and in a briet
interview said he did not think a specific
10 TO l declaration was necessary, if the
chicago platform was adopted.
He was asked the direct question If
specific declaration would be made if the
Chicago platform was adopted, and re-
piled with question:
would not the reaTlrmation of the
Chicago platform be a declaration in

tie then added, with deliberatiOn: ct
don't think anything will be adopted by

so much as the breadth of a hair from

PIauorm. A reatirmatiOn of the plat

provision only, and specify 1t. there might
be claim that we did not mean to in
dorse the other features i reafirming
the Chicago platform. If the convention
adopts the Chicago platform, it will mean
that every syllable is indOrsed. I do not
know just what form the Endorsement will
take, but it will mean everything it says"
Just at this point some one joined iu
with question as to whether or not per
sons who did not support the Chicago
platform could support the Kansas City
platform if it should reafhrm the former.

whether Mr.. Bryan was coming to Kan
