TRYING TO RUN A BLUFF.
Attempt Being Made in This County to
Circulate a Petition in Behalf of Gen.
Clam

Nldpp.
The Free Press learned this after
noon that an attempt is being made to
circulate a petition in this county, of
which the following is copy:
We, the undersigned citizens of Blue
Earth county, believe it would be to
the best interest of the county, party
and state to have Moses E. Clapp
elected United States senator and re-
spectfully request our members of the
legislature to vote for his election.
The work of getting this petition
before the public is being done by
Ezra Gates, of Garden City. It seems
that. Mr.. Gates has been up to st. Paul
for few days returning last evening
and that Eli Warner induced him to
take the above and get it circulated if
possible. Up to this afternoon one or
two attempts, as we are informed, had
been made to get parties to circulate
it but without success. 1t is probable,
however, that the petition will be
we'll spread over the county within the
next twenyfour or forty eight Hours
When the people of Blue Earth county
wish to influence change in the
views of their representatives in the
Legislature, they are plenty able to
look after the matter themselves, and
not ask the advice or aid of Mr.. War
ner Mr.. Evans is the choice of the
majority of the Republicans of the
county, and our representatives in
standing faithfully by him are carry
ing out the desires of their constitu-
ents as well as their own. There is no
danger of the scheme which Mr.. War
ner has taken upon himself to spring
developing into anything effective, but
it shows the efforts that are being put
forth to develop influence against Mr..
Evans if possible, while catching the
PEG pie unawares.

The "last straw which is to break
the back of American patience with
the existence of the "rotten borough
state of Nevada may be furnished in
the development of scheme to make
that state the basis of legalized lot
terry, after the pattern of the defunct
Louisiana institution. The allowance
of two United States senators and
representative in congress to popula-
tion of 40, 600 people might possibly be
endured but when those 40, 900 people,
in addition, shall make over the run
ming of their state government to a
lottery company, thus converting it
into an fundamentally for swindling
and demoralizing the nation, we'll,
what them Even then the state will
remain a state with all its sovereign
rights and privileges SO long as the
American Federal Union and Consti-
tuition shall last. st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
But how is lottery to exist there
successfully when it is denied the use
of the mails. 1t is claimed that this
denial is what really turned sentiment
in Louisiana against the one at New
Orleans, and that had it been rechar-
tered it could not have proved success
full Would it be any different in the
case of Nevada? That of course does
not break the force of the point against
rotten borough state, and there
ought to be some way by which it can
be gotten rid of

secured the nomination for the full
term, and will probably designate who
will be his colleague for the short
term. In Delaware the situation is
again much complicated by the action
of Addicks, better known as Gas
Addicks, who is possessed of an inor-
dinate desire to become senator,
though his money seems to be
the only element that makes him a
consideration. 1t is possible that the
legislature will fail to elect and that
the state will be left without a voice
in the senate, which would be new
phase of senatorial troubles, though
from all accounts the state would not
lose much as between that and Ad-

In Pennsylvania M. S. Quay seems
about to triumph over his enemies
who were not centered on any one man
and simply ''fired" against Quay.
Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, also has contest on his hands,
with a doubtful outcome. He charges
that the railroads are prime movers
against him, but the fact is, Chandler
has been sort of free lance, and at
times has picked up certain vagaries
of the opposition, which he has at
tempted to force upon his party which
has made him somewhat unpopular.
He was also somewhat taken up with
the free coinage idea few years ago,
and all of these things have contri-
buted to help his enemies make it de-
cidedly uncomfortable for him.
In Nebraska a full term and
''short'' term senator are to be elect
ed, and four candidates are in the
field, among whom are Editor Rose
water, of the Omaha Bee. He is
doubtless the ablest one of the four,
but has been rather bitter in his way
of putting things in the past through
the columns of his paper, and has
made many enemies, who now recog
nize their time to pay off old scores.
The Republican legislative majority is
a narrow one and the contest will
doubtless be an exciting one.
Illinois also has contest on. There
are several ambitious statesmen who
are anxious to succeed Senator Cullom,
among whom are several congressman.
Probably the best equipped man
among these aspirants is Congressman
Hit. He has had long experience
on the foreign affairs committee of
the house, is Intellectually strong and
would make a most excellent addi-
ton to the foreign relations commit
tee of the senate, were he sent to that
body.
Altogether, it will be somewhat
strange if some of the legislatures
do not get tied up in these contes is
and fail to elect.

IN THE SENATORIAL FIELD.


The legislatures of the various states
are now in session, and a number of
senatorial contests are now on. In our
own state there is no contest for the
full term, and Senator Nelson will be
his own successor, and the legislative
caucus which meets this evening will
so carry out the will of the people.
What ever contest there is will be in
the filling of the vacancy.
Montana, Utah and Delaware have
vacancies to fill, owing to failure Of
the legislatures of those states to agree
two years ago. In Montana and Della
ware full term senator is also to be
elected. In the former Clark has

AMERICAS INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

One hundred years ago England or
continental Europe little thought that
the close of the century would wit
ness the growth of a nation here that
would become great commercial and
industrial rival But such has been
the case. and today, the continent not
less than England is fearful of what
the outcome will be- The London
Times in a note of warning says: SIT
is useless to disguise the fact that
Great Britain is being out distanced. ;"
And the London Mail says: "There
are only two great countries from
which we have anything seriously to
fear, and these are the United States
and Germany And it might be said
tn at while England thus looks upon
Germany, the latter looks upon the
United States as dangerous competi-
tor the same as England does. But all
of these expressions and fears indicate
the recognized superiority of the
United States as an industrial field,
and the power it has attained in the
worlds affairs Our exports of manu-
features Is growing much faster than
our export of agricultural products,
and this is the very fact that is caus-
ing alarm among our European
cousins. The gain in the past two or
three years has been phenomenal, and
it promises to be still greater for the
coming year. And the feature which
worries the manufacturing interests
of the old world is, that not only is
the United States becoming danger
GUS competitor for trade in South
America, Africa and the orient. but it
is making great inroads into their
home mark cts and it's sales there are
constantly on the increase. This is
the most disheartening feature of all.
until about dozen years ago, !"
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
England had virtually no competi-
tion in Asia and Africa which caused
it any uneasiness A writer in the
London Mail says that Great Britain
exported to South Africa in 1889 about
$50, 600, 600 worth of goods, and, while
there has been an increase to only
$50, 600, 600 since then, the United
States sixtupled its exports to South
Africa in the interval, and now banks
second to England in this trade. It is
evident that that British authority
believes the day is close at hand when
the United States will take the lead in
the expectation to Asia and Africa
which his own country has had for
generations His words are echoed by
other writer's for the great papers in
London, Liverpool, Manchester and
the rest of the British trade centers.
While Germany is making gains in it's
foreign trade, as compared with Eng
land, it is the United States which is
really feared. Not only has the United
States a larger population and i'm
measurably greater natural resources
than Germany, but its people, as the
British experts testify. are displaying
a general versatility and adaptability
in all their great industries such as
those of no other country can ap-
proach. Here are the reasons why, at
the opening of the new century, horo-
scopes of American industrial advance
ment in the near future are being cast
by British and other Old Worl d
authorities which are more glowing
than even those which the American
prophets have been framing"
