Can't Carry Blue Earth County.

Cah Blue Earth county,
w. A. Funk of Mankato has formally
ammo unced himself as candidate for con-
gress from this district. He is pronounc-
ed Republican and it is said that he is an
able man. 1t appears to US that his stand.
ing in the convention will depend largely
upon the result in Blue Earth county. If
he can secure the delegation from that
county it would give him prestige and
sta nding otherwise we think his show will
not be very good.-Wells Advocate.

Cannot Afford to Swan Horses inst Now.
The columns of the Post will always be
open to what makes for the best interests
of our state. county and city, not to men
tion the even greater matters of deep con-
Germ, viz:-our national welfare. We can
not see our way clear however to give Mr..
Funk any encouragement whatever in his
desire to succeed Mr.. McCleary.
The writer has known Mr.. McCleary
for the last sixteen years, and while he
was engaged as an educator, regarded him
as one of the foremost promoters of our
grand educational system. He was every
where recognized as an instructor of great
ability and a man of sterling integrity.
Since the beginning of his congressional
career we have followed his steady ad-
vance in public recognition with great
salts faction, believing as we did that his
scholarly attainments would secure de-
served recognition.
That Mr.. McCleary has served upon the
finance committee for four years with
some OF our most distinguished fnanciers
and SO soon came to the front is mat
ter of no small honor to himself and to
his state.
The writer has it on unquestioned au-
thority that Mr.. McCleary could have had
the Craftsmanship of this great committee,
for tn is session, if he had been willing to
accept it, but he declined on the grounds
of not wishing to be the head of COM
mittee whose great work was already
largely done and so gracefully yielded his
place to senior member His present
position as chairman of the committee on
Library is very honorable one, carrying
with it as it does many matters of national
importance.
The Second district can not afford to
swap horses while crossing the political
stream. We have entered upon new ma
tional policy and but little has been for
mulated thus far that establishes a sound
basis for our relations with our newly ac-
quired possessions. Mr.. McCleary has
always been a close student of constitu-
tional questions and his knowledge of this
subject will find scope in the future de-
liberations of Congress
For the Second district to set aside its
eminently capable representative now
would bring disaster not to the party in
this district alone but to state interests as
we'll; while the effect of turning down so
able man. whose only serious, so-called
mistake was his support of the Porto
Rican bill, which we predict, by the way,
will appear wiser measure when it is
seen as others see it, would be an open
disavowal of the policy of the administra-
ton.
F or Mr.. Funk personally we have the
kindest feeling, and were the conditions
otherwise his candidacy would meet with
warm support.

Rome more.-Blue Earth Post.

TITLE ATTACKED.

Famous Land Cases to he Tested In
~. Minneapolis. 4
Minneapolis, MIMI, Oct ga
test Of the famous Great Northern
land cases IS to be made in Minneapolis
through special arrangements whereby
Judge B. r. Weber OF the Ninth judicial
district will hold court here Oct. 10.
The action Is brought for the purpose
Of settling q dispute al to the owner
ship Of 1900 acres Of improved farming
land in Big Stone and Traverse counties.
Archbishop ireland lays claim to the land.
and the action is brought in the name Of
John F. O'Connor., private secretary to
the archbishop. It is an action for eject
ment against Jacob G. Gertgens, and upon
the result depends the title to many farms
in that district. @535s
Early in 1889 the lands in question were
granted to the Manitoba railway company
as Indemnity for losses sustained on the
line. Settlers swarmed over the lands.
and by fighting the company proved that
the original losses had been settled, and
the land office cancelled the claims Of the
company. Archbishop Ireland entered
into q contract with the company and APP
piled for title to the land under the act
Of congress of 1887, as purchaser from
the company. After a hearing the arch
bishop secured a patent from the land de-
pertinent, and he Is now striving to eject
the farmers. The defendants claim that
his, contract was simply an option that
was never fulfilled.

that imperial troops, acting under Ii
Hung Changes Instructions, are pun
fishing the Boxer forces in the Cho-

badly worried and is anxious for a
settlement Of the troubles.
Both Gen. Chaffee and Gen. Wilson
are to remain here. Gen. Chaffee says
he is satisfied that Ii Hung Chang
will not come to Pekin. He believes
that the Russians have corralled him.
Count Won Waldersee is Of the same
opinion. The Russians refuse to COM
plete the work of restoring the rail-
way line to Tien-tsin. Gen. Charee
has suggested to Count Won Walder-
see that the road be returned to Its
owners. He will guarantee the United
