1t is reported from Washington
that the Republican members of the
house who are opposed to the bill
providing for concession on sugar to
Cuba, claim that the Democrats will
vote solid with them against the bill
and defeat it. There are said to be
thirty nine Republicans opposed to the
bill. State Auditor Dunn, who has
lust returned from the south and spent
several days in Washington on his re-
turn, says that the Republicans who
oppose the bill for this concession, are
not opposed to tariff revision, but or
the other hand favor it, and are labor
ing to bring it about. There is gen
eral impression that the fight over tn
Cubna concession will result in fore
ing tariff revision, and that it viii

Roosevelt is said to have informe

THE STREET RAILWAY FRAN
CHISE.

The granting of the franchise for
the electric street railway and lighting
plant, and the letting lighting con-
tract for a period of ten years dura-
ton by the city council practically as
cures Mankato of rapid transit and
interurban line. 1t is up to the new
eompany now to fulfill the require
pepts put forth by Mr.. Collins and
that is a matter which is practically
settled. They WILL in all probability,
be met. But that does not mean that
our citizens in general way are re-
leased from all responsibility in help
ing to fulfill these terms. 1t rests with
them really as much as with the mem
bers of the new company to help make
the new venture success, and they
should come forward now and help
close up the deal in the way of stock
subscriptions at once.
The city council is to be commended
for the manner in which it came for
ward and helped along the good work.
At the same time it is to be congratu-
lated for the manner in which 1t
guarded the city's interests against
many possible abuses which might
spring up in the future, and at the
same time gave the new company
practically what it asked for, or had
. right to expect. And the council is
TO be further commended that it did
this work without unnecessary delay,
thereby not interfering with the
plans of the new company or of Mr.
Collins, but allows the wo k to proceed
ut once so that it can be completed to
q large extent, if not entirely, this
season.
While the lighting contract entered
into is a very liberal one, still the
Free Press believes that it is deal
that will rebound greatly to the bene-
ft of the city long before the contract
has expired. 1t is in strict accord
with the idea put forth by the meet
ing of business men and citizens

which Mr.. Collins made. The con-
tract will give US we'll lighted city,
such as has been, repeatedly asked for.
While this costs the city somewhat
more than at present, it must be re-
membered that it will promote an in
dustry which will add largely to the
taxable property of the city, and will
from it's nature cause much improve
ment and additions in other lines
which will greatly increase the city s
valuation. On the other hand the
new company promise direct returns
to the city in the shape of good service
and good lights and as it is made ur
Of business men who have the best
interests of the city at heart, there is
every reason to believe that they viii
see that this promise is carried out.

The agricultural department at
Washington reports the condition OF
the winter wheat crop as 1871 against
81. 7 for April 1st a year ago. This
would indicate that some of the re-

ton of the winter wheat crop were
decidedly off. A drop of 3 points IN

Mayor Rose, who has just been re-
elected mayor of Milwaukee, is just
now enjoying little boom among his
friends as possible candidate for the
presidency on the Democratic ticket,
and it is said has been endorsed by
some of the Chicago Democracy. Pos

that if the Republican factions in the
Badger state keep on warning, Rose
might carry the, state in 1904, and
stranger things have happened.

And now there has been formed a
combination among the leading hard
ware jobbing interests of the country.
It is said the capital of the firms
represented is about $3.50, 600. 600. The
principal iobbing houses of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth are included
in the combine. The principal features
and economies claimed for the new
deal are: All houses constituting the
comnany will be in position to take
cash discounts. 1t is estimated that
at least 500, 900 per annum will be
saved in catalogues. 1t is intended
to continue the present force of sales
men connected with the various
houses, that existing personal rela-
tions between wholesale and retail
distributors may be served. There
may perhaps be gradually a transfer
of statesmen from territory that is
overworked at present to other terri
tory where the salesmen's efforts Car
be more advantageously expended

A Washington dispatch says that the
Quay interests in Pennsylvania may
ask Attorney General Knox to become
the Republican candidate for governor
of that state. There is so much dis
satisfaction with the Quay following
through the state that the leaders are
becoming alarmed for fear that the
Independent Republicans and the
Democrats may carry the state next
November and elect the governor,
hence this locking around for candi-
date. Knox has not been mixed up

In an address to the Sheridan club,
Franklin MacVeagh, who is a big
wholesaler in Chicago and at one time
was the Democratic candidate for
the United States senate from Illinois,
gave the Democrats something to
think about. Among other things he
told them that territorial expansion
was fixed fact that there would
never be any ''scuttling', and that
every American ought to be proud of
the deeds that brought it and anxious
to help the nation along in the right
course. He told them the United
States has proved its fitness to rule
dependencies by the administration
of Cuba. Evidently Mr.. MacVeagh
does not have to be hit on the head to
see and understand things.

 Every organ, every duet, every cavity of the human body is liable to catarrh. A multitude of ailments depend on ca tarrh. This is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes many cases of chronic disease, where the victim has not the slightest suspicion that catarrh has any thing to do with it.
