such law for the reason that the OPP
portunity to manipulate things would
not be so easy.
The Mankato correspondent of The
Journal writes that "the new primary
election law has created a very favor
able impression on the people of Blue
Earth county. This does not refer to
all of the politicians, as there is a
class who have experienced great per-
sonal qualification from year to year in
being selected from among their fellow
citizens to attend the conventions as
delegates these being deprived of this
honor, would like to return to the
former plan. There is much in the
correspondent statement relative to
the politician. Many men feel it an
honor to attend political convention;
and generally the same men manage
to be sent as delegates year after year
to the conventions, creating the i'm
preston that they carry the vote of
their particular precinct in the hollow
of their hands. 1870 1870 80
The Free Press is of the opinion
that the law will result in people tax
ing an added interest in politics, cause
them to study up the men who seek
Office. As one gentleman, who was in
terviewed by The Journals CORE
spondent: "The man elected TO Office
will know that the voters have their
eyes on him. that he cannot trust to
the bosses for denomination and to
party spirit for reelection, and he will
be mighty careful what he does. II
will give us better public servants,
men who feel that they are account
able to the people for their doings"
Trust to the people; they will nomi-
nate and elect good men to Office. The
bosses need have no fear of that.

NOT CHARITY. BUT JUSTICE.

Joel P. Heatwole, the congressman
from the third district. says in his
Mortified News, that charity should
begin at home and in the same edi-
torial he refers to the Cuban recipro-
city proposition as follows:
1t was not so many years ago in
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Wisconsin, that new settlers came,
made their homes in sod shanties and
rudely constructed huts and started TO
build up the present imperial north-
west. The drought, the floods, the
hail, the frosts or some other natural
visitation destroyed their crops and
left many of them penniless and
helpless, These people suffered the
rigoTs OF a northern winter and did
not enjoy the warm and delightful
climate OF Cuba. Many Of them we're
turned out of doors by remorseless
creditors, some were compelled to
leave for the purpose OF existing and
many, begCught some help from state
or national government. The causes
of their misery were beyond their con-
troll, while the Cuban planter has con-
tributed TO his own misfortune. No
assistance was rendered by the ma
tional government to our own citizens
who suffered infinitely greater hard
ships and privations. The impulse We
and thoughtless are very insistent for
all possible assistance to the Cubans.
Before action is taken it is we'll to
consider the privations and hardships
through which the builders of the
great northwest passed and that, too,
without local or national assistance,
although they deserved it in far
greater degree than was ever deserved
by the people of Cuba. If there is to
be charity, if the helping hand of the
government is to be extended to any
one, let it be extended to those who
have made the desert grader, who
have done things who are ready with
their lives to defend this government.
All of which is very prettily put.
An answer, however, can be stated
In few words. The Cuban people are
not asking charity but justice, and
as the United States made certain
promises, it is the duty of this govern
ment to carry out those promises.
The winning of the west by the
hardy pioneerss has no connection
with the question of reciprocity with

The Chicago September wheat corner
is ended. The price was forced to 90
cents, the highest price at which
wheat has sold since the Letter deal
The advance today results from the
fact that millers are again in the mar
ket. The domestic and foreign de-
mand for -four is good. the mills are
running at full capacity and millers
will require most of the good wheat
which comes to Minneapolis for inn
mediate grinding. Clearances were
very large today, over one million
bushels. and there is better demand
at Duluth and the seaboard The
foreign demand for wheat is most re-
markable, and about equal to six
seventies of the total primary receipts
since July 1st has been exported dur
ing that same period.
December corn advanced two cents
today. Those who needed the advice
given in our Saturday special market
letter about corn are now on the right
side. The price of corn may react a
little from this point, but will eventu-
ally go much higher.

RECEIVED WITH FAVOR.

Correspondents of The Minneapolis
Journal have taken pains to furnish
that enterprising newspaper with the
views of the people throughout the
state regarding the primary election
law. Generally speaking the law is
looked upon with favor. There are some
objections to 1t, which would be only
natural. One objection raised is that
Democrats and Populists in many
counties voted the Republican ballot,
their own party candidates having no
opposition, and they went into the
Republican primaries TO lend assis-
lance TO some personal friend. Just
how this can be obviated is difficult
problem to solve. 1t is the intention
of the law to prevent just that very
thing. but ii seems to have failed
woefuly.
Another objection is that the fee of
SO required in order to insure the
placing of the candidates name on the
ballot is too high; these objec-
tors insist that no fee should he requir-
ed at ALL they claiming that the fee is
liable to keep some excellent men from
entering the contest for nomination.
And again the old Cry is raised that
a voter should not be required to state
his politics, but that all the names
should be placed upon one ballot. This
would lead to bad state of attairs
and it would give members of one
party a chance to nominate an unde-
sirable man as a candidate on the op-
posing party's ticket, with view to
having him defeated at the polls.
It has been suggested that the pri.
mary election be done away with en-
tirely that law be enacted provid.
ing that those men who wish to be
saHsidstes file their names with the
soanty auditor and that they be voted
for ut the general election. The can
didate receiving the highest number
Of votes for any particular Office be
declared elected and thus do away
with great amount Of red tape and
expense to the people. If this mode
Of procedure should be adopted the

During the G. A. R. EnCampment-- The
Time of Times to See the
City of New York.

AS is we'll known, the railroads
have made special rates on account Of
the g. A. r. eucampment in Wash
ington, D. c., liz Oct lber. The Erie
railroad also announces low rates to
the city of New York, and there can
be no better time to visit the great
metropolis.
Neither too hot nor too cold.
The theatres all open.
Broadway at night an avenue of en-
chantment.
The great stores at their best.
Parks and driY, still in their full
glory.
There is no month in the year when
New York is better worth seeing and
certainly no city in America in which
there is so much to see. A visit to
New York is itself more educational
than term at school. while the trip
by the Erie, through the Delaware
and Susquehanna valleys especially in
the autumn is one long panorama of
delight.

The marriage of Miss Minnie G.
Schoyen to Mr.. Jay Hubbard was
solemnized at the home of the BRIDES
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Schoyen,
on Byron street last evening at eight
o clock. Rev. Doctor Davis of the
Presbyterian church officiating.
The occasion was one that will
abide with the guests for long
period, as it was one of the prettiest
weddings that has ever occurred in
Mankato.
The rooms were prettily decorated
the parlor in which the ceremony
took place in green and white, 1.-THE
wild clematis forming large part of
the decoration. The bridal couple
stood upon white rug beneath
an arch of white asters and
ferns. The room in which the
gifts were displayed, and they. were
many and beautiful, was glowing
with the warm red colors and the
ensemble was cosy and simple in all
particulars.
The bride, at all times attractive
and modest, looked especially hand
some in her dainty handmade gown of
mouselin de sole, carrying shower
bouquet of bride roses The only orna-
ment worn was diamond locket. the
gift of the groom.
After the ceremony and congratula-
tions, refreshments were served by..a
bevy of young lady friends Of the
bride, and the guests departed Fat
about eleven o'clock with showers .sof
best wishes to the young people.
The bride was born and reared in
Mankato and is trnly beloved by all
who know her. Of a sweet disposition.
she is the embodiment of all that is
most charming in woman, and few
men indeed have led to the altar a
more lovable or winsome bride. Be-
sides being possessed of womanly
grace and modest demeanor, she is an
accomplished violinist, and with her
many accomplishments Mrs. Hubbard
will make for her husband home
that will be all that the name implies.
The groom was also born and reared
in Mankato and is one of the most
exemplary young men in the city.
He is the only son of Mr.. and Mrs. R.
D. Hubbard and is connected with the
milling company bearing his father s
name. He is thorough business man,
and is destined to make splendid
success in life.
These two young people certainly
have the best wishes of all theil
friends and acquaintance for long
and happy life, and no wish can be
more sincere or deep-seated than il
extended by The Free Press.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbard have taker
up their residence in Ogle's addition
where they have delightful home,
handsomely furnished.

that an official statement will be

for two reasons one to Offset and
placate, if possible, the hostile atti-

Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
and the other to checkmate the
activity of the Hill.Morgan combina-
ton in the Northwest. Competition
in that quarter is getting so keen

The passing of John Hays Ham
mond through Salt Lake with Tono-
pah as his destination has aroused all
kinds of speculation among local
interests in the Nevada camp, and II
word from him will be eagerly
awaited Preceding him were Arthur
Brock, president Of the Tonopah
Mining COMPANY, and Clyde A. Hell
Ter, president of the Fraction com
pany, both Of whom are now for
warding their rich ores to the
shelters of Salt Lake valley One
theory concerning the visit Of the
distinguished engineer to the camp 1t
this time is that the Venture com
pany of London is making effort to
purchase interests there. it is more
likely, said W. p. OMeara, to whose
attention Mr.. Hammond visit was
Yesterday called, that he is there in
the interest of the Hartman crowd,
and that he has been asked to report
ON the camp with reference to rail
way construction. The latter view
of it is the more agreeable to the
west, perhaps, as the west is selfish
enough to want to see its bonanzas
remain in the hands of those from
whom it may expect some benefit

Nitre Bed Fake.

A Washington official of the geo

rush of miners into Death valley to
locate inter claims, says: " 1t is too
bad that so much effort and suffering
will result in disappointment to pros
pectors going into Death valley
There is not the slightest chance
that anybody going in to locate inter
will make dollar. The demand for
saItpeter is comparatively small
taking all manufactures, mining,
medical and chemical uses, including
gunpowder manufacture, and the
market is held at present by trust
that controls all the saltpeter to fill
all the demands in sight. 1t is in
sane for the average miner to go into
Death valley to locate inter claims.
So far as profit is concerned they
might as well make a rush on Salton
basin and locate salt claims.
