The Huntington Herald appears
to be badly frightened at the great
popularity of Judge Johnston, and
has resorted to the bloody shirt"
prejudice. 1t is trying to arouse
feeling against Judge Johnston
by bringing out the fact that he
was a Confederate soldier. But
how can this be used in the inter
est OF Mr.. Hughes9 He nor
his people were on the other
side. At the time of the war
they were subjects of Great Britain
and the British government sym
pathized with, and aided the Con-
federacy. Mr.. Hughes did not
fight for the Union. he was not
citizen of the United States until

election, as the records of the cir

A Quaint Pilgrimage.

The spectacle of whole community
setting out in religious dementia Ito find
Jesus" is an old-world episode that is in
vivid contrast with the practical, pushing
life Of western America. Seventyfive
years ago such pilgrimage Of ptety
would not have been surprising in the for
ests Of Kentucky or Ohio, at the time a
remarkable wave of religious frenzy
spread throughout the American frontier.
We do not remember that history re-
cords any such American pilgrimage as
that the Dukhobors of Assiniboia are
making to-day, but thousands of persons
were driven into temporary monomania by
the intense emotions aroused by the revi-
val meetings Of those times. Men and
women Historically shouted and wept,
swooned or ran through the surrounding
country shrieking like the mad persons
they were. s-% s
But in the case of the Dukhobors the re-
ligious dementia seems to be, communal
as their lIfeti to some extent. Purely a
religious community, with all their
ideas, they seem suddenly in their, new
environment to have developed side by
side an intense aversion for any food OF
clothing derived from animal sources and
a strong belief that they can by pilgrim
age find the living Savior. The first ma
MIA caused them to turn their cattle and
horses loose and to take upon themselves

tariff negotiated by Special Commissioner
Sharretts with the Chinese government
The duties laid are nearly all specific
instead of ad valorem as formerly and
this Is to the greater facilitation of the
work of customs officers. An important
change is the abandonment of the silver
basis in the payment Of duties and the
adoption Of the gold basis in the pay
ment of such duties, which will
enhance the value of the customs reve-
nues 1t is possible that the Chinese gov
eminent will see the advantage of this
change so that it will ultimately arrange
to put the now wretched, deprecated
money circulation OIL the gold basis.

AS all Branscome had decided that
Charles Schermerhorn was the mt ana
proper mate for Mabel Howard, that In
dependent young woman properly decided
to transfer her somewhat unsettled afrec-
lions to Frank Caswell. Branscome folks
pointed out that Schermerhorn had been
her girlhoods sweetheart, was now well
to do, and their union would crown a
very pretty little romance.
On the other hand, Caswell was prac-
ticaly newcomer in the village, having
made his advent two years before, when
Branscome arrived at the dignity of sup
porting a national bank. The directors
had brought him UP from the city to act
as receiving teller and to teach the Brans-
come boys how to conduct bank. He
had proceeded to make himself generally
liked, and the only thing that could be
urged against him was that his very evil
dent fondness for Mabel Howard threat
ened to destroy a Branscome romance.
Oddly enough, CasweM and Scherrner-
horn were the closest of friends. Despite
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-10-30

dire predictions of personal encounters
nothing married the course of their friend
ship, and Schermerhorn seemed to find
very satisfying consolation in the COM
pany of Grace Payne, Caswells half sis
ter, who kept house for him. .
So matters stood when Anabel Nc
Pherson decided to give a. Halloween
party. Miss Mcpherson, known as Ana
bel to the entire village, was old Cap
tain McPherson's daughter, and, Inherit
ing her fathers estate, she had become
the richest woman in the village. Much
given to novel reading, Miss Anabel had
never married, fearful that each sutton
was seeking her fortune rather than her
hand. At AZ she was still single and
by no means unattractive woman, with
kindly heart and head filled with
romantic fancies. It was her delight to
make the affairs of others her own, and
this Halloween party was given for the
express purpose of setting matters
straight between Schernerhorn and Ma
bel Howard. Well versed in the super
stitious lore Of love, she decided that
with q little assistance Cupid might yet
achieve a victory and bring the pair to-
gether.
Among the tests for the evening Miss
Mcpherson had decided upon the naming
candles. Different names would be given
several wax tapers; the last one left burn
ing would indicate the name of ones flu
ture husband. She used tiny wax tapers,
home made, and by giving one twice as
thick a. wick as the other she argued
that one would burn twice as rapidly and,
thus prepared, in a fever of anticipation
she awaited the coming Of her guests.

University of. South Dakota.

President Garret Droppers OF the Uni
versity of South Dakota, In his annual re-
port to the board Of regents, makes a plea
for a direct permanent tax for the sup
port Of the university. We have such a
system in, Minnesota; a state tax of .23
mills being imposed permanently for the
support of the university. 9@ It has worked
we'll here and we can commend it to the
South Dakotans. ',"@E=z'~'~
State universities, unfortunately, are
rarely the recipients of such endowments
as those from which other universities
derive the large and constant incomes
which make possible a regular process of
university orga nization and sustained eff
fort.
No such institution can be made great
and enduring if some sectional jealousy
or some partizan movement is liable to
endanger it's support at any time. If a
state maintains a. university at all it
should do it well and thoroughly and on an
enduring foundation. Such a foundation
a fixed direct tax gives It insures the
steady operation Of the university and an
income that expands with the growth or
the state in wealth. At the same time the
fact that for additions to its building and
equipment it must seek special appro-
priations from the legislature tends to
keep the institution in close touch with
the people and responsible to their educa-
tional needs. @<s

Dakota has done we'll without this ad-
vantage, twill certainly do much better
with it. r. No.. T.:

The Minnesota State Song.

The committee chosen to examine the
manuscripts entered in the state song
contest and indicate which one in their
Judgment Is best suited for the purposes
of popular song, have reached an agree
ment.
This contest has excited a great deal
of interest. Approximately 400 writer's
have contributed manuscripts some &C.
companied by original music, but the
more or less familiar The committee
have labored with patience and have
taken great pains to give the competitors
a fair and just award. They were as
sisted in that work by the arrangement
under which no manuscript went to the
committee with the real name Of the
writer attached. The committee had alb
solutely knowledge of the identity OF
the writer's upon whose productions they
were called upon to pass.
With the approval Of the committee
T h e Journ AL has concluded that the
most interesting and perhaps the most
effective way in which to introduce an6
popularize this song is to give it to the
public first on some occasion where Il
can be sung by large audience. The
arrangement is, therefore, to present it tt
the public the first time at the EXposi
ton building next Tuesday night. a,
which time that building will be open, as
on several previous occasions, for the re.
celpt of election returns. The arrange
ments made by r. h e J o r n a on sim.
liar occasions have resulted in bringing te
the Exposition a large audience of ladie:
and gentlemen who are entertained by 6
good program of special features, inter.
spersed with election returns, received
and displayed as promptly there as al
any other place in the city. The building
is lighted and warmed and under the
most comfortable conditions the interest
ing developments Of election day are re
ported as rapidly as the information car
be obtained. The new song will be suns
on that occasion. The Journal band will
be in attendance to furnish the musica
accomplishment.
The air to which this song Is written Is
q familiar one 1t is an exceedingly sing
able production, and we have no doubt
this feature will be one of the most en-.
ioyable incidents of the evenings pro-
gram A copy Of the song will be fur.
nished free to every person present, an6

der circumstances which should be most
favorable for it's popularization.

Senator Nelson's Speech.

Senator Nelson gave the people of Min
neapolis last night, at the Exposition
building, one of his substantial instruc-
tive, interesting and convincing EXPOSE
tiens of republican principles and perform
ances, and a clear and discriminating an
alysis of the doctrines and deeds of the
democracy, particularly during the last
twelve years. Senator Nelson went back
to 1890 and reviewed carefully the his
tory of politics and business as affected
by politics since that time.
Close attention was given to him by
the largest audience which has occupied
tho Exposition building during this cam
paign, and the disposition which the peo-
pie exhibited to wait for his last word,
although he spoke nearly two hours, is
abundant evidence Of the fact that the
man who places little reliance upon the
graces of oratory or tricks of the stump
speaker, gets right down to solid facts
and presents then In d plain clear, COM
prehensive manner, is after all the man
whom the people most wish to hear. This
is Senator Nelson's style, and, reinforced
by his strong personality, the confidence
which the people have in his intellectual
Of public questions 1t makes him prob
ably the most effective campaigner in this
state.
