New Ulm review., 1900-10-24

If there are no trusts, as Hanna says,
why the waste of words in the repub-
llcan national platform and in their
Minnesota state platform in denouncing
trusts? And If there are trusts and they
are such good things as some repubh-
cans boldly argue, why, we again won
der, did they condem rhem in their plat
forms? Will not some republican please
explain this puzzle? Or isn't it the re-
publican fashion to be consistent and
honest with the people2-Albert Lea

According to the St. Paul Dispatch,
the republican nominee for secretary OF
state Hanson, says that "the Swedes have
sized Lind up and will vote for Van
Sant.' It would perhaps he just rs we'll
for Mr. Hanson to look out for his own
vote among the Swcdes as it is pretty
certain that he will not himself get the

.ssWHY ARE THEY SILENT?',

The Brown County journal is exercis-
ing itself unduly because the democratic
papers Of Brown county have not taken
up space, otherwise valuable, to make
answer to Its ridiculous and illogical
charge that the failure Of the Mckinley
administration to take action relative to
the regulation Of 1.-THE trusts is chargable
to the democratic party. The Journal
knows, If it knows anything, that that
same constitutional amendment about
which it makes SO much ado was put
foreward as scheme Of the republican
leaders to prevent any disturbance OF
the trusts. It knows that the republic
can administration is now and alway has
been iu possession Of sufficient power to
deal with the trusts without the aid of
constitutional amendment. It knows
that the removal of the prohlbitory tariff
upon trust productions is all thatis nec-
essary to bring them to time, It knows
that it stands for party which does not
want or intend to disturb the trusts, and
1t also knows that its hysterical demand
for an explanation o the record o f
the democratic party On h e
trust question is the rankest hypocracy
and demagogism. If the journal will
take the trouble to turn back to the
files of the Pioneer Press and other lead
ing republican papers of one year ago it
will find much food for thought and
possibly be saved embarrassment in the
futnre. 1t is certainly not necessary to
go back further than the present admin
istrat1on to judge of the attitude of tho
republican party toward the trusts and
to show conclusively that nothing in the
way of relief can be expected from
that party. If the democratic party
ever had been permitted to make rec
crd on the question of the trusts, which
we deny, it would not necessarily enter
into the present camp aign. The only
question at issue is as to the connection
of the republican party with the trusts,
and this is undisputed and undeniab'e.

Says the Minneapolis Journal: "Mr.
Hanna intends for the remainder of the
campaign to devote the strength of the
national committee to a further exploi-
tation of prosperity Sure thing. The
prosperity of the trusts is what friend
Hanna is particularly interested in and
the only show for their perpetuation is
in fool1ng the people.

SAW A,GHOST
In a Cemetery That Danced on Dead
Mems Graves.


Mems Graves.
New Haven Comm Special New
York World: To those that are in
clined to scoff at the residents near
Mapledale cemetery because they are
excited over a ghost that dances night
ly over new-made graves the point Is
made that the believers have seen the
wrath while the unbelievers have not
For three dark nights many persons
have gathered at the cemetery gates,
and the ghost, being a well-bred and
considerate specter, has not disap-
pointed them. 1t has walked regular
ly and danced with its usual grace.
Any one who does not believe in
ghosts should talk to John Bertram
and George. e. Backmailer. They
laughed at the suggestion of disem-
bodied spirits promenading in a cem-
etery or anywhere else, and the sug-
gestion that ghost would dance they
declared was manifestly absurd. Last
night the young men announced that
they would clear up the ghost mys-
terry and placed themselves on guard
in the cemetery, thereby winning
many compliments for their pluck
until the ghost appeared. Then the
two brave young men took to their
heels and never stopped running until
they were exhausted. They said that
nothing would persuade them to enter
the cemetery again at night SO long
as the weird manifestations contin-
ued Several spiritualists were among
those on guard last night. They also
saw the ghost. They explained it by
saying that it was a spirit seeking
someone it had wronged in life. 1t
has not been determined whether it is
man ghost or woman ghost, but it
is properly attired according to all
traditions, in long, flowing robe of
white. 1t violates one of the rules of
ghosts. however, in that it makes its
appearance before midnight. 1t was
about II o'clock last night when 1t
suddenly appeared out of nowhere,
and after floating about for half an
hourt melted into thin air in the most
approved fashion. From the stories
appears to be most capricious in its
movements, having no fixity of pur-
pose. Sometimes it moves slowly, and
then it darts along Occasionally It
stops. At times it hops from mound
to mound. and when it finds a new
made grave executes curious slow

New Industry Commenced In North Yald-
ma, State Of Washington.
Potatoes grow large and fifty to a
hill in Washington and one of the
varieties turned out there is the Bur
bank, which, attains to size three
times as large as the variety in Michi-
gan OF that name. 1t has not paid to
ship them east paying the high rail-
road tariffs, and consequently they
have been drug on the market. Here
after. however, they are to be sliced
and dried. and in this condition they
can be sent east, and also to the is
lands of the Pacific. An evaporatlng
and preserving factory has been set up
at North Yakima and for use in 1t the
company ordered a potato peeling ma
chine from Germany. 1t is said that
the capacity of the machine, which is
operated by steam, is three tons day.
The plant is capable of consuming six
tons of raw potatoes daily and a sec
ond machine will soon be put in. The
manager estimates that he will con-
sumo at least 100 tons of Yakima Bur-
banks this season. Several women and
girls are employed in the work at
wages ranging from rs cents to more
than double that amount a day. They
are paid by the quantity peeled, sliced
or spread on trays, thus making the
wages depend upon the individual eX
ertions of the wage earners. The po
tatoes are peeled raw and after slicing
very thin are placed in trays and
cooked by steam. This removes the
water, estimated at about 80 per cent
of the tuber, and leaves the solids or
nutriment in the slices. They then go
through the drying process, which is
on the principle of dry steam heat, the
pipes passing through the evaporator
near each row Of trays. The evapo-
rating apparatus in the North Yakima
plant contains over one mile of pipes
carrying the heat to the trays. A wire
screen is kept over each tray during
the drying to prevent dirt from set
Ting upon the sliced potatoes.-Chica-

OUR CHOCOLATE INDUSTRY.

Large Quantities Are Used In This
Country Every Year.
THE American people are evidently
very fond of chocolate, for there are
about ~ 100000 pounds of the COM
modify consumed in the United States
annually" said large wholesale deal
er in chocolate beans in Boston to
writer for the Star recently. Two
thirds of the chocolate imported into
this country is purchased by chocolate
manufacturers in Massachusetts and
the rest is distributed among the nu-
merous candy firms in New York, Phil
adelphia and elsewhere. There are
three principal grades of chocolate
which are known in the trade as the
Caracas, the French and the German.
Of these three varieties the Caracas is
considered the best. The color of the
Caracas chocolate is pale brown. In
flavor it is much stronger than the
French or German article. To test the
quality of chocolate it is only neces-
sary to put piece OF it in a pan OF
water and let it dissolve. The better
grades will have no sediment; the
others will. This is due to the fact
that in the cheaper varieties the shell
is ground up and used as a filler. The
lighter the chocolate the better the
quality. The cheaper grades are dark
brown, owing to the ground-up shell.
One of the largest cocoa plantations in
the world is located in Nicaragua. 1t
is owned by French firm, whose
chocolate is known all over the world.
Their works at Noisel turn out about
100000 pounds of chocolate year,
and their employees number 1900. The

are wrapped costs alone 100000 per
