Ing out the dirt, weighing II and hgur-
Ing out its per centage. The grain re-
ceivers at Minneapolis say that more
than one-half the cars of fax inspect
ed are reinsrected, and that in almost
every case the percentage of dirt is
changed. This shows that the original
inspector either cannot weigh the dirt
correctly or is not able to figure out
the percentage.

lis, and illustrates the character of

partment.
The whole thing is matter Of rec

1t cannot be wondered at that the
grain department is in a democrat
ICED and disreputable condition. Two
years ago 1t had a worldwide reputa-
ton. Representatives Of state depart
ments and grain associations from
other states came here to study our
methods, and magazine writer's wrote
long articles upon It's merits which
were read by the civilized world. But
how different now!
The whole story is told when 1t Is
said that the powers that be have
chosen to build up a political machine
Of the department instead of making
1t efficient or of trying to maintain the
reputation 1t has enjoyed in the past
And 1t is in striking contrast to pre-
Vious administrations where, instead of
turning the department into a political
machine, efficiency and ability were in
sisted upon. 1t is a matter of history
that under Republican administratio

bill was drawn up and recommended
which positively prohibited in every

LIKE AARON BURR.
Bryan Has DeteriOated Quite as
Rapidly.
The Greatest Imperialist Since Napoleon,
But Lacks His Commanding
Genius

James 81. Benedict. the well known
New York broker, after several
months tour in Europe, says:
1t is patent to every observer that
our financial atmosphere grows clear
as Mr., Bryan's chances of election
grow cloudy. Wall street is the baro-
meter by which we measure candi-
dates prospects of success. Mr..
Bryan's paramount. claim for the
suffrage of his countrymen is his in
tense desire to occupy the presidential
chair. No public man, possibly with
the exception of Aaron Burr, ever de-
Perforated morally so rapidly as Mr..
Bryan since his last campaign. In
1896 he was chosen by his party as
their candidate. In 1900 he has thrust
himself upon them. In 1896 he was an
honest, although terribly mistaken,
enthusiast. In 1900 he is not honest,
but simply trimmer for votes. His
predictions made in 1895 have all
been proven false We're he honest he
would now admit this, turn his face
to the wall and say II have sinned. !"
His intense egotism and desire for the
executive chair bar his way to such
honest admission.
The charge of imperialism" ap-
piled to the present administration
comes with bad grace from Mr..
Bryan. Since the first Napoleon he
is the greatest imperialism the world
has produced, more dangerous than
Napoleon, having his ambition with
out his genius. He has chained to the
wheels of his chariot the remains of a
o1.fxy 81
with greater possibilities. Croker is
one of his captives, also in letters,
gracing his triumph. Imperialism,
indeed Should Bryan, by any mis-
chance, be the next president, he
would in twelve months after his in
auguration proclaim himself emperor,
unless previously impeached. Mr..
Bryan is certainly the most dangerous
man ever thrust into the life of our
nation. He knows nothing funda-
mentally of the great questions which
he discusses so glibly, nothing of the
financial laws, of the trusts or their
relation to the welfare of both pro-
Queer and consumer, nothing of real
craftsmanship, nothing of the science
of government or of the laws which
direct our nation. He is for Bryan
first and last.
Travelling in Europe is now, for
an American, a greater pleasure than
ever before. The mere fact of being
an American secures the highest con-
sideration. Our currency, bills as we'll
as gold, stands as high as the bank
of England notes or English sover-
eigns, and is taken as freely every
where in Great Britain and on the
continent as in any part of our own
country. What would have been the
result to our currency had Bryan been
elected in 1862 How any lover of his
country, able to read, write and
cipher, no matter what his politics,
can vote for him is beyond compre-
hension.

the pair during the evening in Gus
Anderson's barn, two miles north of

The boys said they had rented the
wheels at Faribault that morning to
go fishing at lake. They failed to
have any luck fishing and started for

to a sign which read ''22 miles to

Two Children Suffer by the Careless
Discharge of a Gun.

On last Saturday afternoon several
small boys in LIE Hitler loaded, an
old gun they had found in a barn.
While passing John Rhodes house the
gun was accidentally discharged, strik-
ing Mr.. Rhodes children, who were
playing the yard. The little boy was
struck over the heart and abdomen,
but fortunately both are superficial
wounds, the shot glancing off. The
little girl was shot in the face and DR..
Brandenburg was called to remove the
shot. An anaesthetic was necessary
as the shot was found fattened against
the lower jaw bone. Both children
are doing nicely today and apparently
none the worse for the shooting.
