IT WAS LIGHT.
Registration Four Hundred Short
of Four Years Ago.
Attorney General Asked to Pass on the
Question Of Residence in
Voting Precinct.

The registration was completed at
o'clock Tuesday night, and the result
is disappointment, There is heavy
falling off from the registration of
four years ago. Politicians are try
ing to figure out what effect the fall
ing off will have on the coming cleo
ton. Fortunately for the Republicans,
the falling off is almost entirely in
the Democratic wards. In the first,
second and third wards the loss is $50
names, as against only 43 in the
fourth, fifth and sixth wards. This
is thought to be largely due to the fact
that many unnaturalized citizens are
disfranchised. A few persons who are
entitled to receive second papers are
incensed at the requirement and refuse
to take out their papers.
The Registration Tuesday was as

The announcement of the result of
the census yesterday and which was
given in our Geographic columns that
evening shows the population of the
United States to be over 76, 900, 600, a
gain of 81 per cent in the last ten
years. This is very good showing
and brings the population up. to the
figures which the census department
has figured it, The figures of 1, 751, 1906
for Minnesota. while they may not
reach the point many hoped, yet make
very good showing, the gain being
"a. 8 per cent. This is by far greater
gain than either Wisconsin or Iowa
made. If the basis of representation
in congress is made 200, 900 on the new
apportionment, it will give the state
two additional congressman which
would give us in our delegation in
stead of as at present. Taken all in
all the figures are very gratifying.

CLEVELAND AGAINST BRYAN.

Grover Cleveland's letter to Don
Dickinson, which we publish else
where this evening carries no hope to
the Bryanites, Mr. Cleveland says his
views have not changed particle
from what they were as expressed in
his address at the Reform club dinner
in April, 1897. That he would not
suppress or abate it if he could. In
that address he lamented the tendency
of his party from the true Jeffesonian
line, and admonished sound money
men everywhere to become active in
their efforts to thwart the designs of
theorists. This letter is simply a
reiteration of one he wrote to a Mr..
Green, of Louisville. Mr.. Cleveland
has also denied that he submitted to
the interview published in the Phila-
delphia Times, Bryanite paper, yes
terday morning, in which he is made
to say that the indications are that the
coming election will result in a land
slide for Bryan. He says the whole
alleged interview from beginning to
end is an absolute lie. " The Bryan
ties are in desperate straits, and are
clutching at every straw in the vain
hope of changing public opinion It
will be well for voters to pay little
attention to their claims from now on,
as they are likely to prove as false as
the claim about Mr.. Cleveland.
Grover Cleveland is not in favor of
Mr.. Bryan nor his wild financial views
and socialistic tendencies

DECLARES FOR MCKINLEY.
John Mcbride, Ex-President National
Miners Organization Opposes a Change.

A dispatch to the Pioneer Press from
Columbus, Ohio, this morning says
that John Mcbride, former president
of the American Federation of Labor,
and of the National Miners organiza-
tion, in a letter to David Ross, candi-

He has been Democrat all his life,
held number of positions of honor,
and four years ago was chairman of
the bureau of labor at Democratic
headquarters in Chicago In his letter
he says:

The desperation of the Bryanites
is noted by the action of Boss Croker,
who in commenting on the attitude of
Bryanites on election day, said that
after the counting of the ballots COM
menced Bryanites should repair to the
polling places and watch the proceed
ing and if the result did not tally with
their knowledge of what it should be,
after counting up noses, they ought to
walk in and throw the election officers
out into the street and take possession
of the ballot boxes This is an ex-
emplifcation of law and order to be
sure. And this, is from Boss Croker,
the right bower and high priest of
Organism, who if Bryan should be
successful would be chief adviser OF
his administration. How do you like

referee that he could not compel them
to appear and testify and that the Civ

led to believe was a matter of yolition
with them, but that they stood now
ready to appear before the court as
witnesses and testify. The court held
that it had perfect Jurisdiction in the
case to compel testimony before its
referee, but the contempt and punish
ment were passed temporarily until
the testimony of the witnesses should
beAtaken.
The principal effort of Attorney
Newton for the prosecution in the case
was to connect Attorney Simpson with
the receipt of money from permissions
for illegal sale of liquor at Dickinson.
Frank Kihm testified that he had not
paid him any money, and thatsthe only
money he had ever paid him was the
sum of $21u, for legitimate legal fees.
He also testified with reference to GER
tain receipts given by him to other
persons, which he said were given for
merchandise. Sheriff Kono testified

GOT A YEAR.
Did a Dickinson Hobo Who Set Fire to
a Straw Stack.

In a recent term of court at Dick
1nson, an interesting point came up in
a criminal case. Last December a
hobo named Malcom Robertson went
to a farmhouse a few miles from Dick
lnson, where IN aged woman and her
crippled son were alone, and asked
for lodging and a meal. He was told
that hetscould not. have either, but
was directed to a house near by where
1T was thought ne could at least get
something to eat. Angered at the
rebuff, Robertson went to a stack of
wheat straw which was about fifty feet
from the farm buildings and set fire to
1t. Only the strenuous efforts of the
neighbors resulted in saving the
buildings from destruction. Robert
son was arrested and has been in jaii
since.
The statute makes it a felony to set
lire to a stack of grain and a1stack of
nay, but not to a,Stack of straw. Tn
der the head of malicious mischief it
is made a misdemeanor to destroy will
fully any personal property, and a
straw stack would come under that
head. Robertson demhrred to- the IN
formation on the ground that he was
not charged with a public sofense, and
offered to plead guilty to having COM
mitted malicious miscnief. States
Attorney Simpson set forth the helm
business of the otfense that had been
committed, and stated that there was
some unthreshed grain and some hay
IN the stack. Judge Winchester said
If straw was not hay in this case, ii
ought to be, and oyerruled the de-
murrer. The defendant did not care
to go to trial, and so pleaded guilty to
the offense as charged and got a year
in the peniteniary.
