BEDEAT MAPLETON
Enthused a Great Crowd There
Thursday Night. ),
MankatO Helps Swell the Gathering,
Which Listens to Arguments
Laughs at Jokes.

The special train from Mankato to
Mapleton and return Thursday took
nearly hundred people from this city,
including the G. A. R. band, and a
large delegation got on at Good Thun-
der, to the disappointment of the
Democratic speakers who spoke there
last night. The train returned at
about eleven o'clock after the speech
had been concluded. 1t was a great
night for Mapleton and for Republi
canism in the county. The farmers
came in from miles around to hear J.
Adam Bede, one of the most effective
campaign speakers on the stump. The
village was overlooking with patriot
ism and enthusiasm, and the opera
house was unable to accommodate all
who desired to hear the speaker, many
being turned away. The opera house
stage was appropriately decorated
with flags and bunting, and contained
pictures of the great presidents of the
past and present candidates of the Re-
publican party. The seats on the
stage were filed with prominent Re-
publicans.
The meeting was opened with a
selection by the G. A. R. band, follow
ed by campaign songs by half dozen
young ladies and mixed double quar-
tet. The songs were ap propriate and
all of the music was excellent and took
well. Mr.. Bede gave one of his
characteristic speeches and won. all
hearts, as he always does. He is GER
tainly unique and brilliant speaker
The audience was alternately laugh
ing and cheering. He showed why
there never can be imperialism in
this country, despite the eff orts of the
Democrats for campaign purposes to
make people believe that there can be-
He predicted that the county would
continue to expand, its wealth and
power to increase, and its influence in
the worlds affairs become paramount.
Mr.. Bede explained why large num-
bers of Democrats and Populists are
going to vote for Mckinley and pros
perity this year. He said that he was
one of the Democrats who would cast
their votes for Mckinley and Roose-
welt. The people know when they have
a good thing, and this is one reason
why they are not going to change the
administration this year. The speaker
to the great prosperity of the
country, how it's business has grown
during the past one hundred years,
and the consequent necessity for a
flexible and stable money system.
Trusts and other evils of the day will
gradually be overcome, just as evils in
the past have been.
Among other things, Mr.. Bede re-
ferred to the great advance in the
price of fax, which is beneftting the
farmers. Four years ago flax was
worth 40 cents bushel, and it is now
worth SLIGO. The reason for this is
that the general prosperity of the peo-
pie has permitted them to paint their
houses and barns all over the United
States. Linseed oil is used in making

MUST BE STAMPED.

The report of the inspector of the
internal revenue Office at Washington,
who has recently made an inspection
of the register of deeds Office in the
various counties of this state, shows
that there is a general misunderstood
ing. concerning the stamping of bonds
of public officials. The majority of
bonds of public officials filed are I'M
stamped, and thus invalidated.
The law provides that stamps to the
amount of 30 cents must be placed
upon all bonds except those given in
legal proceedings. The omission of
stamps on bond annuls it and leaves
the people with no security what
ever, should an official violate his oath
of office.

paint. and the great demand for paint
has caused scarcity of inseed oil,
and the demand for flax to make more
oil has caused the price to increase in
value four times. This was only a
sample of what the Republican times
are doing for the farmers.
Mr.. Bede said kindly word for
Senator Knute Nelson, who. he said,
had come to the United States when a
boy in steam ship, and has now
worked himself up into the senator
ship. He spoke good words for Van
SAINT, McCleary and the legislative
ticket, and also for J. Fl. Block, the
Republican candidate for state treas
urer, who was present.

The following letter clipped from
the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin, in
dicates how the wheat grades of Min
nesota have deteriorated under fusion
rule The letter says:
Editor Wisconsin: I have been re-
quested by some of the Eastern buyers
of Minnesota wheat to call attention to
the deterioration of grades under the
present inspection. The system of
state inspection, weighing and regis
tration, was organized in 1885 by the
Republican administration of Mime
sofa and has attracted the attention
of the whole commercial world inter
ested in the handling of cereals, to
such an extent that it was made the
model for the establishment of similar
systems in several other states. No
other inspection department. in the
country outside of Minnesota issued
certificates that passed current and
were accepted as representing actual
grade as certified to. Duluth particu
larly has had reputation in the for
eign markets for its wheat, and it's
foreign business has been based en-
tirely on the integrity of it's inspec-
tion. Minnesota has found customers
for it's surplus in Milwaukee, Chi
cago, and states south and east of those
markets 1t was formerly bought on
Minnesota state certificates, the buyer
feeling assured of their absolute cor
rectness. 1t has been observed within
twelve or fifteen months past that
grades were not up to the standard,
and the old confidence has been de-
stroyed Now buyers in other markets
require samples before accepting offers.
1t will take two or three years ardu-
GUS labor by state authorities to regain
the prestige lost in one year of incom-
petent work The most effective way
to accomplish this reform is to remove
the inspection entirely from politics.
and see that only the most competent
men are placed in these positions.
millers want this grain,
but they will use it much more freely
if it can be restored to its old standing
of integrity.

GOLDEN RULE JONES.
He Believes in the Growth of the
Trusts.

IIuStS.
At the.Chicago trust conference,
September IA, 1884, Samuel NJ Jones,
mayor of Toledo, Ohio, who. is now
making stump speeches for Bryan,
said
I believe in large program for So
ciety. I believe it to be our duty and
privilege in this republic to find
plan big enough to provide for all the
people and see in the growth of the
trust an indication of the growing
social movement towards collectivism.
1 believe in brotherhood, so do the
makers of the trust
The triumph of the trust is one Of
the marvels of the closing year Of the
nineteenth century; but they are an
economic development, strictly in the
line of progress and our problem is not
how to destroy them, but how to use
them for the good of all. Like their
protype, the labor saving machinery
constructed of wood and iron, they
have come to stay. A labor-saving
machine might have great value on
account of its producing capacity. but
but might be so destructive of
human life as to make it
imperative that it should be so i'm
proved that it's Saving power
might be utilized without injury to
the operative.
Thirty-fve years ago saw mob
of teamsters trying to destroy the first
pipe line ever built for the transporta-
tion of oil. They feared that the pipe
line was an attack upon their craft.
The movement against the trust rests
identically on the same moral basis as
there of mob against the pipe line,
elevators and labor saving machinery
generally, and I predict that it will
have the same result in the end. All
the legislation thus far against the
trust has been almost as futile as law
against the change in the moons
