ferred stock. The comparative state.

In Defense Of Mccleary.


Some second district papers are poking
fun at the rather light vote cast at the
primaries for Congressman McCleary. The
blue Earth Post comes to his rescue in
the following:
AT the primary election in Faribault
county, James T. McCleary, republican
candidate for the congressional nomira-
ton, received 2,010 votes, and c. NJ An
drews, the democratic candidate, received
121 In the district, Mr.. McCleary received
11,139 to Andrews 1851, giving McCleary
a majority Of 9,188. Some of the demo-
cratic papers Of the district are trying
to make it appear that McCIeary has
fallen behind his vote of two years ago.
They forget that this was only a primary:
that more men voted for him at the pri-
mary than ever attended the combined
caucuses of the present district, ana that
the difference between the votes of the
two candidates is greater than at any cleo
ton ever held in the district

warns republicans of Goodhue county that
factional squabbles may lose the party q
congressman IN the third district, and
that there is great danger of over-con-

hunt about this campaign. No democrat
probably has the slightest hope of elect
Ing MIR: Rosing, but there. will not be a
vote neglected on that account The
party does dream Of recapturing the house

legislative districts could be carried to

A case came up in the Federal
court Tuesday in which young
man Of Choctaw county was ar
raigned on charge of carrying on
the business of a retail liquor
dealer. Questioned by the Court
it developed that the man had
ordered gallon Of whisky from
an Aberdeen firm for Christmas
use, and that upon urgent solicita-
ton he had let a friend purchase
a half pint OF it, and that was all
the whisky he had ever sold at all.
Judge Niles dismissed the case,
saying that while it may have been
a violation of the State law it did
not constitute relail liquor dealer
in the eyes of the United States
statutes, but if he had been a loun-
ger about town with a gallon of
whisky in his possession, the case
would have presented a different
aspect.

Confederate Pensions.


In . letter from Capt. Thos. r.
Caldwell, president of the Monroe
county board of pensioners, are
found the following para graphs on
the subject of pensions and the
proposed State convention of pen
sion commissioners:
THE commissioners have but little power
under the Law 70 investigate new applications
for pensious. and none at all 70 the old lists.
Tho law should be amended to Let the
whole list Of pensioners come before the CON-
missioners for revision, and the board should
have power To summon witnesses and take tes-
timony. The conduct Of some members OF
boards Of supervisors in soliciting men to apply
for pensions, and the gross negligence OF the
grand juries OF the State in failing or refusing
to purge the rolls rs they should and could, has
brought a great number OF frauds on the list
who arc only justified BY the declaration that
I had just ~ we'll have it as Mr.. Jones or some
ono else In many cases it is not the best SOL
dior asking for q pension.
II do not think now that State convention
~ould b practicable for the reason that it is
too late TO serve the purpose to be accomplish
ed, nor do believe that could secure an at
tendance because Of the expense incident there
to. The commissioners salary for two years
would not carry him to Jackson and back. In
stead OF q convention l would suggest that the
press Of the State take the matter in hand, and
show by the work Of the Monroe county board
what can DO done. 1t examined 123 applicants
and allowed dfty-on only, and il we could have
brought witnesses before us the number accept
cd would have been less. We recommended to
the grand jury the removal OF between seventy
i've and ole hundred from the old list roll
and regret to say the jury turned deaf ear,
while there are desertere, layouts and men and
women the rolls that well-to-do in life,
robbine old and disabled Confederate veterans
Of their prorata Of the appropriations for their
relief.
Il believe every man and woman on the PEN
sion roll should be required to make a new APP
plicat ion in person before the board OF pension
commissioners, and that the medical examina
tions should bs abolished. 1t is easy enough
to tell when man is disabled from wounds or
old age
