Rabbi Fleischer is the NEST prom

remarks caused a sensation, and after

in twelvemonth.
Our President bids us remember
the material causes for THANKSGIVING
in the growth of prosperity and the
spread of his power. On that basis
the next financial panic or defeat at
the hands of other people might at
some future time deprive us of reason
for thanksgiving.

God and make our thankfulness de-

1T is reassuring to be told officially
that, as result OF the efforts OF God
and the administration, there has been
steady gain in the moral and educa-
tional growth of our national charac-

facts indicate a gain in the moral
growth of our national character

democracy probably judges by differ

years ago 'forcibie annexation would

such aggression and subjugation only

Cost of the Army.

Imagine a block of solid gold, liz
feet square at the base and liz feet
high; its weight, in round numbers,
1924 tons. or 339,0S5 1-3 pounds. This
is the amount of gold which It took to
support the army during the past fis-
cal year. The amount in coined dol
lars was $92,000,Oo9.
The translation INTO cubic gold was
made by ex'DirecLor and present Elk
aminer of the Mint r. e. Preston, and
does not profess to be fractionally cor
rect Using the same figures, any one
who is interested in making more
realistic the professional figures OF
the annual reports, may discover that
the total amount Of money appropri-
ated by congress at its last session
(aggregating about billion dollars)
would make cubic block OF gold 2615
feet square. Its weight would be l.
Sal tons. If set in the middle of an
ordinary street there would scarcely
be room for teams to drive around 1t,
and the top would reach TO the middle
OF the third-story windows.
After all a millionaire hasn't very
much gold. IL would only make a
block whose length, breadth and
thickness are about two and a half

MILLS SHUT DOWN.

The following interesting dispatch
appeared in the Minneapolis Times:
New York, April 16.-John W. Gates
of the American Steel company, in re-
ference to dispatch from the west
which stated that a number of con-
stituent concerns in the main company
had suspended operations, conGrme d
the statement and said that twelve of
the mills in the constituent companies
have been shut down. They are To-
Gated at Pittsburg, Cleveland, Joliet.
Ill; Wakegan, ILL.,; DeKalb, Ill.,:
Newcastle, Ind; and Anderson, Ind j..
Mr.. Gates said the cause of the clos
ing down of the mills was overproduc-
ton. Mr.. Gates said he was unable
to state when the mills would resume
operations, as they first would have to
ascertain the extent of the over-pro-
duction. When asked as to his view
as to the trade situation and outlook.
Mr.. Gates stated that the shut down
of the mills was the best evidence of
the current situation.
Mr.. Gates made another statement
later, in which he said that the twelve
mills which had been closed had a
daily capacity of from 5000 to 4. 900
tons. He said that slack business was
an additional reason for the suspen-
sion of operations. The best inform
alton is that the mills will be closed
indefinitely. 1t is said that as many
as 1900 men, boys and girls will be
affected by the shut down.
But haven't the prices Of steel goods
advanced and do they not stay ad-
vanced because ''the mills cannot sup.
ply the demand? Thus we see the

CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS.

During the past week three candi-
dates for the Peoples nomin alton for
congressman have appeared in the
Seventh District. They are Prof.
Hans A. Aaker, of Moorhead, Atty.
r. A. Holston of Crookston and Hal
dor E. Boon of Fergus Falls. Prof.
Aaker. was recently elected mayor of
Moorhead and has attained favorable
distinction by the way his administra-
tion is cleaning up that city. He is
the principal of Concordia college of
that city. He was one of the founders
of the Willmar Seminary and for
some years had charge of the business
department of the same. Mr.. Holston
is county attorney of Polk county, a
position he has held for term of
years. He is an active politician and
will very likely come to the conven-
ton with a several county delegations
dangling in his belt. But there is a
feeling in this part OF the district that
a man from one of the lower counties
should be chosen this year. Polk
county has had two candidates in sue
cession and it's people ought to and
will no doubt give their cordial sup
port to the favorite son of one of the
sister counties If the convention so de-
cides. Then there is Haldor. He
bases his claim upon the 20 votes out
of the 81 referendum nominating bal
lots cast by the midroad populists for
this place-a slender thread, indeed,
but enough to give IT. e. an excuse for
entering the race. He will probably
make fight for Otter Tail county,
and if he gets that delegation he will
have "a votes at least.
The fact should not be lost sight of
that the district south of and lnclud-
ing Otter Tail and Wilkin counties
will have a majority of the votes in
the convention. An available and &C.
ceptable man from the southern Sec
tion who could get the solid support
of these counties would capture the
nomination. There are vet two
months before the convention meets

Peoples County Convention.

Notice is given that county convention

purpose of electing II delegates to attend

held at Fergus Falls June %, 1900 at o'clock

ness which may properly come before the

ance with the call of the Peoples State
Committee issued Mar. 15 1900. The basis
of representation will be one delegate at
large from each election precinct, and one

and the question OF candidates should
be we'll discussed. The right man
when found and determined upon will
receive the solid support of all who
are opposed to the goldbug-imperial-
ist humbug, and will lie elected. Let
him be q man who will ably and credit
ably represent the greatest agricultu-
raj district in the Union. A good
campaigner does not always make a
good congressman, as has been f"rci-
bly, illustrated to US. What is wanted
is a man. The TRIBUNE believes that
our people will not forsake principle
for taffy any longer. but will rally
and redeem the district from the hu-
initiation Of being misrepreseuted in
