T. M. KEARNEY
TO PRESIDE

Racine, Aug. 28.-Thomas M.
Kearney has been selected by Chair
man Warden of the democratic state
central committee, to be permanent
chairman of the democratic state con-
yention which will be held in this
city next Wednesday.
Mr.. Kearney was one of the Wiscon-
sin delegates to the democratic nation
al convention to sign the anti-Bryan
proclamation in 1896, but he gained
his political fame by the trouncing he
gave David S. Rose in the democratic
state convention in 1898. Rose was
then as warmly in favor of the pop
ulists as he is now opposed to them

notable in the history of the state

Washington, Aug. 28.-The iron and
steel makers of Germany now nave
combination behind their backs when
will enable them to continue with bet
ter chances for ultimate success, their
stubborn and persistent fight in the
markets of Europe, south and central
America, Africa and the east. This
fact was brought out in report from
United States Consul General Frank
Mason at Berlin, dated Aug. l, made
public at the state deparc-
ment yesterday. The consul
general reports that, AFTER
a full discussion of the unsatisfactory
conditions of the home market, the
representatives of the coal and iron
industries of Germany assembled at
Cologne, decided upon return to the
system of export bounties which was
used to such good effect in the early
wears of German industrial expansion
Thereupon union was formed be-
tween the coal and iron interests to
provide export bOunties among all the
leading syndicates in the metal and
mining industries. This vast and
powerful export association, says Ma
son, is based upon an agreement that
it's members shall contribute to pay
to such members as export their prod
ucts a bonus equal to the difference
between the current price of merchan
disc of German markets and the price
actually obtained for it. The bounties
to be paid on exported metals are cal
culated upon the amounts of raw ma
terial consumed in their production.
The consul general says the sum-
mer outlook for German metal and
mining industries is not so reassur-
ing as has been confidently hoped for
since the beginning of the year. 1t is
nevertheless true, says Mason that
exports of iron and steel are enOr-
nous and steadily increasing. Dur
ing the first half of the present year,
the figures reached 1,5O3,742 tons, as
compared with ,O4O tons for the
same period last year. The increase
i'll aggregate value of these exports
was only from $57, 143 800 to $685.
600.
This comparison between the bulk
of product and bulk of money, Mason
says, makes vital the fact of the sit
uation apparent that large part OF
the vast mount of exports has been
marketed abroad rather on a basis of
a clearing-out sale, in which goods
were offered at whatever sacrifice
might he necessary To secure their
sale.

ten into the convention on a proxy,
and he demanded that all kinds of Pop
ulistic notions be put into the plat
form. Finally a motion was made
to appoint committee to confer with
the Populists. 1t was then that Mr..
Keamey took the door and vigorously
opposed any fusion with the popu-
lists. Il am here" he said, 'in the
name of the Racine county democrats
to protest against such fusion" He
warned the convention that democrats
had fused with other parties in the
past to their sorrow; that they must
stand up for democratic principles.
Rose took up the cause OF the pop
Ilists, but was defeated.

The Retail Merchants Protective as
sociation seems to be an organization
of activity in public affairs, Judging
from its proceedings at the last meet
ing. One matter that was taken up
that of petitioning the postoffice de-
partment at Washington for screened
wagon service between the Mankato
postoffice and the deposits subject
that was taken up with the depart
ment more than two years ago by Con-
gresham McCleary at the solicitation
of our city postmaster. The needs of
such service were at that time, and
two or three times since, fully laid be-
fore the authorities but thus far with
out avail. The excuse for non-compli-
ance with the request is on the ground
that screened mail wagons are not
operated in cities the size of Mankato.
However, Postmaster Hunt is very
hopeful that a change of heart may
yet come over the postmaster general
and that the service be installed. Re-
cent information from Washington
gives some ground for this hope. If
the merchants association can assist
in bringing about such result, its
efforts will be appreciated.

Some of the Minneapolis business
men have petitioned Gov. Van SAINT
not to take action at this time to pre-
vent the contamination of Mr.. Hills
plans for the consolidation of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads. The governor has replied some
what briefly, but most effectively. He
calls the attention of the petitioners
to the state law prohibiting the con-
solidation of competing lines of rail
roads and to his oath of Office in
which he obligated himself to enforce
the laws of the state. While brief and
moderate, the governor has simply put
forth to his critics and others an I'M
answerable argument. Whatever may
be the ideas of Gov. Van SAINT as to
the benefit that might come from the
merging of these two great systems of
railroads, if controlled by proper
Legislation, he found certain laws upon
the statute books prohibiting such
course. and he could not do other than
follow the path of his sworn duty.
The courts may possibly decide against
him, but Gov. Van SAINT will have
done his duty and fulfilled his oath of
Office.

Washington dispatch says that

A Washington dispatch says that
Gompers will fight Senator Nelson's
bill providing for new department of
commerce and labor, when it comes up
before the house. He does not want
labor mixed up with other bureaus
and says that organized labor would
prefer the present bureau to the pro-
posed change. He says that labor
wants department of it's own, with
it's own secretary who will sit in the
cabinet. That under the Nelson bill,
the department will be placed under
the domination of the politicians We
fail to see wherein the department
will be any more under their domino
ton as provided for by Senator Nelson g
bill than it would be if organized un-
der Mr.. Gomper's idea. and do not be-
lieve it would. It would be represent
ed directly in the cabinet, and as con-
stituted by the present bill, would
cause the president to be much more
careful in the selection of the man to
fill it than would be the case if Som
pers' idea were carried. NO doubt Mr..
Gomper's is earnest and sincere in his
opposition to the Nelson bill, but we
believe he is mistaken.

RESIDENCE BURNS
James Morris Loses His Home
i'm West Mankat0.
Fire Started From the Kitchen Stove,
--Loss $4,000, Partially Cover
ed by Insurance.

West Mankato had fire this fore
noon that destroyed one of the finest
residences in that section of the city,
owned.by James Morris, at 61S Wood
land avenue. Mrs Morris and a
neighbor lady were conversing in the
sitting room between ten and eleven
o'clock, and Patrick Kenney was max
ing some repairs to a sewing machine.
On going into the kitchen shortly
afterwards, Mrs. Morris found it to
be all -ablaze. Further than that the
fire must have Started from the.stove
it is not known what was it's origin.
A still alarm was turned in and the
West Mankato fire company turned
out, and was assisted by the boys
from the central station. The hose of
the West Mankato station was laid,
when it was found that it was frozen
up. This hose had been used fol. some
purpose recently and had mot been
drained out properly. Whether it was
used for the purpose for which lit was
purchased, and by whose permission 1t
was used. are matters that have not
vet been looked into. From the condi-
ton the hose was found to be in, they
would seem to be proper subjects for
investigation by the proper officials.
1t was necessary to procure more
hose, and by the time the FIRE depart
ment was in a position to fight the fire
the latter had done it's work. The
house was completely destroyed, to-
gether with some of it's contents.
The.house was twostory frame
structure, worth SO, 600. 1t was for
merly owned by ex-Policeman Young,
and was located little west of Front
street. An insurance of 81, 300 was
carried on the house in companies re-
presented by Geo. W. Mead. The
household furniture was insured for
$500 with D. G. Davies, but the loss
on this is not expected to exceed 5000
to $500. Mr.. Morris expects to rebuild.
The nearest hydrant was 1, 700 feet
distant, and the stream of water that
was turned on was brought from that
distance.
