A Wonderful Escape.

The greatest height from which any
one has accidentally fallen without re-
ceiving any injury beyond a shaking
was nearly 1000 feet by an East In
dian living In the island of Oghin, who
fell over a cliff at that height. His fall
was broken at the foot Of the precipice
by masses of dense vegetation, and he
escaped with no more serious injury
than severe shaking. The anthem
ITCHY Of this fall was vouched for by
the French writer, III. de Parville.

EVERY statement made by Gov Lind
in his Minneapolis speech bears the un-
deniable stamp of sincerity and truth,
much as his enemies, both within the
party and without, may decry them and
claim to the contrary. Seldom has an
executive in the history Of this or any
other state been so hampered and set
upon by not only his political enemies
but by those from whom he should have
had the most ardent support, and yet,
through it all he has, with unfllnching
courage, pursued his chosen policy and
given to the state clean and efficient
administration against which even the
most shameless partisan organ has as
yet been unable to bring just accusation.
Bound and fettered by a leglslat azure COM

every department Of state filled with
those antagonistic to himself, his only
hope for conscientious support the re-
moval or death Of republican Office hold

their places might be filled with those

surprising that he should decline to befur-
Their made the 'sjosh. mark" of political
pretenders with neither political sagacity
or honor. 1t is not, however, the DEM
ocratic party, the popullst party, or the
fusion party, that has the greatest need
for the services Of John Lind. The great
state of Minnesota needs him, and, as in
days of old the cry went up from Mace
donia, SO in this year of our Lord the
call comes, not from the politician, not
from the partisan of any party, but from
the common people whose sovereignwil

MARX HANNA has at last outlined the
issues of this years presidential cam
paign from republican standpoint and
it is particularly noticeable that he is
vociferously silent upon the question of
trusts. The principal issues will be the
general prosperity" of the country and
the fact that "large corporations and
firms are making money" This is GER
tainly a good issue to 60 before the
masses with when it is remembered that
the cost of nearly every article con-
sumed by the people has advanced in
price from IS to 40 per cent, while a ten
per cent raise in wages is the best that
general prospersty' has thus far been
able to accomplish.
