THE REPUBLICAN MEETING IN BEL

AK.
The republican mass meeting, held
in Bel Air on Saturday night, was
attended by quite number of per-
sons. In the list were included many
prominent democrats, whose loyalty
is unquestioned, and it is needless to
say that their presence added to the
personnel of the audience. Mr..
Williams, the republican nominee for
Governor, is citizen of our town,
and naturally has many friends in
the opposition ranks, who hold him
in high esteem as a man, and, as a
matter of course, were anxious to
hear him discuss the issues OF the
campaign, which he has been waging
so warmly for the past few weeks. 1t
must be understood, and we feel sure
that the chief speaker of the evening
realized that this outpouring was not
from political standpoint, but of
friendly interest. He knows full we'll
that among the large number OF
democrats who were present, few if
any will give him their personal sup
port on the third day of November.
He cannot possibly expect this, as no
matter what personal compliment his
friends may wish to bestow, it is
certain that they fully realize the
grave responsibility attendant to the
turning over of the State to the re-
publican party. Experience in the
past has shown Mr.. Williams to be a
strict party man, and while he has
thrown out many inducements seek
ing the support of the democrats,yet
in his speeches he has indicated that
should he be successful, the State of
Maryland will begoverned in a parti-
san manner, as he undoubtedly be-
longs to this class. To substantiate
this statement, it is only necessary
to refer to his repeated utterances
that one of the first moves, should
he be elevated to the position of Gov
ernor, will be an effort to repeal the
present ballot law, a democratic
measure, and substitute in its place
legislation similar to that enacted
during the regime of Ex-Governor
Lowndes. The action of the demo-
cratic majority of the two houses in
1901 was most bitterly resisted by
the present republican nominee, and
under his leadership every effort was
made to thwart the will of the major
ity. There can be no question but
what he used every parliamentary
tactic, permissible under the rules Of
the Senate, to check this legislation,
and only by the presence of con-
slant democratic majority was the
bill passed. 1t is unnecessary to re-
fer to the details Of the many super
ior points of our ballot law, and we
have yet to learn of a single answer
being made to that section which
proved to be a death blow to bribery
and corruption.
The argument of Mr.. Williams, in
referring to the local affairs of this
county, was rather ingenious to say
the least. He attempted to show, by
innuendo, that the revolt of 1893,
which lead to the election of an indie.

pendent board of County Commits
sioners of Hartford county, might be
compared to the present state of
affairs, especially as it refers to our
own people. Where similarity
comes in we fail to see, and how any
democrat can possibly discover from
Mr.. Williams speech why we should
cut Mr.. Warfeld, because of ancient
history connected with our local
politics, seems to say the least highly
improbable.
In several of his speeches, our local
townsman has taken occasion to re-
fer to the organized lobby at Anna
polls. While he was not a member
of the legislature of 1896, its reputa-
ton for lobbying was ofso notorious
a nature that we feel sure it would be
an insult to his intelligence to say
that he did not know gifts existence
Congressman Mudd, who is now one
of the brightest stars in the galaxy
of Republican politicians, was the
speaker of the House-but it is need
less to go further than mere
mention of this one notorious name
those who were unfortunate enough
to come within reach of his tentacles
will bear convincing testimony as to
the necessary methods to pass any
legislation, no matter how trifling.
In 1898, matters were no better and
while one king of the lobby had been
promoted, there were many others
to take his place. The Speaker of
the House of Delegates at this time
was Mr. Schaefer of Baltimore City.
To sum up his 1nisdeeds the slang
expression, what he done was a
plenty" tersely covers the situation
that existed at that time. Mr.. Will
liams, as the republican leader on the
floor of the Senate, certainly must
have been cognizant of the daily
happenings. While no one claims that
he was in any way connected with
the lobby in its practical doings, yet
being on the scene of action and pre-
sumably knowing what actually did
occur, it now seems bad grace to
make similar charges against the
Democrats. The lobbies of1S96 and
1898 will go down to history as
being the most corrupt in the state
government. 1t is true that some of
our own party may have been mixed
up in the wrong doings but the re-
sponsibility rested with the republi-
can majority.
The democratic voters of Hartford
county have a clear and we'll defined
responsibility resting upon them.
Regardless of personal sentiment, it
is their clear duty to support the
ticket that was fairly nominated by
aspirit ofunanimity seldom witnessed
within the councils ofour party. Vote
for Warheld and his associates on the
ticket. Remember that it is stern
duty and not sentiment that should
govern your actions this fall

that has been steadily put forth by
the democratic press of the State,
and the voters now realize that
should the republican nominee for
governor be elected, the event will
have a national significance. The
daily press has recently contained a
number of articles which tend to
show the Presidents interest in our
State matters and the reasons there
fore. Mr.. Roosevelt IS personally
Objectionable to the people of Mary
land. Although a son of a Southern
mother, he has by his repeated &C
tions deliberately turned his back
upon the birthplace of his maternal
ancestors. This has been done not
only in one but in every case wherever
he could make his individuality seem
most Objectionable. 1t is argued
that he will construe republican sue
cess in our State as an endorsement
of his policy.
The democrats will be responsible
for this, should the Presidents
wishes be gratifed. We have a
normal majority of $4,000 which
with little effort could be increased
to twice this number. If the returns
show otherwise, it will be an indi-
cation that the members ofour party
have not realized their full duty and
responsibility, and have either for
personal or political grounds strayed
from the ranks. The democrats
should bear in mind that the respon-
sibility rests with them. Ifthe State
of Maryland should go republican
this fall, it will prove a dangerous
entering wedge into the solid South,
and the construction by the country
at large would be that Mr.. Roose-
welt has been endorsed by democrats,
for it is a we'll recognized fact that
Maryland is naturally democratic.
The campaign is almost over and
only a few days yet remain before
the battle of ballots will begin. Let
the remaining time be devoted to
doing all that we can to bring back
into line those democrats who are so
far forgetting themselves as to feel
that they can with propriety cast a
personal vote for an individualfr friend.
We are crossing a dangerous fording
and it is no time to "swap horses"

tired of being taxed for the build
ing, supported the amendment in a
speech giving great deal of his
tory, and bringing out the state
ment made by members of the COM
mission two years ago, that if that
session appropriated another million
dollars, which it did, they would
complete the building by Jan. LIST,
1903. He had letter read from
Hon. j. F. jacobson, a former men,
Der, supporting this statement.
Before Mr.. Nolan finished his
remarks the speaker announced
that the Buck board of control bill,
which had been made a special or
der for 2:30 o clock, had the right
of-way, and the time had arrived
for considering it. Mr.. Burns, the
leader for the forces against the
bill, sent up the amendment cutting
out the FarlOault institutions, and
again giving the normal school and
university people an opportunity to
get out from under the board. Mr..
Armstrong made a passionate ap-
peal for the Faribault institutions.
also, speaking against the amend
ments, claiming that there was no
higher education than that in the
deaf and dumb institutions at Fari-
bault. Some of the university peo-
pie broke away from the friends of
that institution and supported the
Burns amendment, but enough
others voted against to kill it by an
overwhelming vote.

capital, combined with market de-
mand for the product. Mr.. Hos
kens settled down as a granite cut
ter in North Redwood and has re-
NAMED there ever since, keeping
busy himself, and in association
with Fred Homer, employing a
few helpers from time to time in do
ing the rOugher part of the work.
Among their later and larger con-
tracts was the well-known Indian
shaft on the hill above Morton, and
numerous handsome monuments in
Red wood Falls and adjoining Gene
teries.
Mr.. Hoskcns was so we'll satisfied
with the value of Redwood granite
that last year he bought the Homer
place in order to have complete con-
troll OF the quarries. These quar-
ries produce two different aud
welldefned shades of granite-th9
one blush gray, and the other of
a warmer brownish tint. A third
shade, almost identical with the
famous Aberdeen granite, is found
in quarrying the big granite bould-
ers in the vicinity of the quarries.
Last month Mr.. Steven Hoskens.
brother of the North Redwood
granite man, arrived herefrom Bar
RE, Vermont, where extensive gran
lite quarries have been worked for
many years. Like his brother, Mr..
S. Hoskens, is an experienced work
er in granite, and he was surprised
when he was shown the granite
quarries here, which be insists are

AFTERNOON OF FIREWORKS
The Bill Removing Faribault Institutions
from Board of Control Killed
in the House.
The Bill Appr0priating $1,50O,O0O for
Completion of Capitol Passed
Without Amendments.

There was continuous display
of fire works in the lower honse of
the legislature from 2 clock to 5:l5
o'clock last Tuesday afternoon,
March 31st, and the afternoon was
one that will long be remembered
by the members who fought for
their convictions on that day. The
fireworks we're brilliant, pictur-
esque at times, and they were wit
messed by a majority of the mem
berS of the senate, which body al
ways seemed interested in a house
fight, and gallery crowded with
interested spectators.
Only one pyrotechnical display
was booked for that afternoon-the
Buck bill, originating in the senate,
seeking to remove the Faribault in
situations for the deaf and the blind,
and the normal schools and the Uni
verslty from the board of control.
l. was scheduled for a descending
display at ESQ o'clock that day.
The descent occurred some time
afterwards aud the shower that fell
was not pleasing to Senator Buck
and the crowd of members who had
joined their issues in seeking to re-
move these institutions from under
the board of control.
The house reconvened that after
noon at z o clock. At that time the
senate bill appropriating another
million and a half dollars for the
completion of the new State capitol,
and extending the tax on the prop
erty of the State for an additional
l6 years, was on general orders for
consideration of the committee of
the whole house. Representative
Hickey of ST. Paul, the leader for
the bill, and Representative Nolan
w. A., the leader for certain amend
ments to the bill that would force
the commissioners to complete the
capitol in another two years, with
the 81, 800, 600 appropriated had
previously agreed to take the bill
from general orders and make it a
special order for 2 O'Clock. A call
of the house was ordered at once,
and when suspended Mr.. Nolan
sent up the first amendment. It
legislated the commissioners out of
office Dec. 31st, 1904. In other
words, it was 3 pointer that the
building must be completed within
the time stated it could be, by the
commissioners. MIR. Nolan, whose

AN INFANT INDUSTRY.
North. Redwood Granite is .Getting to be
Appreciated.

The use of the product of our
home quarries in two of the bust
ness blocks recently erected in this
city has helped to enlighten many
in regard to the possibilities of Red
wood county granite. We have
enough for all demands and in a
variety of beautiful shades, as any
one may see by casual inspection
at the North Red wood Granite
Works.
To Mr.. Thos. Hoskens is mainly
due the opening up of these valuable
quarries. Ten years or more ago
an extensive business was done in
the granite quarries at Morton by
Saulpaugh of Mankato, and for sew
eral years before the panicky per-
iod of 1898 a large force of quarry
men were kept busy getting out
granite for railroad bridge CON
tracts. With the finishing of these
contracts work was suspended at
Morton, but soon after Mr.. Hos
kens, one of the Morton quarrymen,
had his attention called to the gran
lite quarry on the Homer farm. Mr.
II. had already had years of expert
ence in the granite duarries Of New
England, and his practiced eye saw
at once that here was granite
every way equal to the New Eng
land product, awaiting only the de-
velopment of skilled artisans and
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1903-04-08

every way equal in quality to the
New England article. So well sat-
isfed is the newly arrived Mr.. Hos
kens with the value of this granite
that he and his two sons, all of
whom are granite cutters, have
rented a house in North Redwood
and intend to join forces with Thorn
as in filing orders for this granite,
both for building and monumental
purposes. Although the present
plant is limited to a small building
equipped with engine and polishing
mill and hand tools, the Hoskens
are going to work on the co opera
tive plan, with the ultimate purpose
of charging their works and equip
ping it with more powerful engine
and pneumatic drills as fast as bus
mess demands will enable them to
do so.
The methods of quarrying and
splitting up granite and the tedious
process of shaping and polishing
the rough granite into graceful and
beautiful shafts and monuments are
all interesting, and an inspection
of the North Redwood works will
be time we'll spent

PECULrARTTIEs OF THE
 CHINESE LANGUAGE.

The Chinese language contains 214 root words, which expand into the 4.0O0 or 6.O00 words of daily use and into the 30,000 Of the dictionary. As there are no less than 1000 characters in use. a font of Chinese type requires as many type spaces in the type case to hold it. The large cases, or false partitions, are ranged about the room and divided into spaces for each fn- dividual type. each word complete in itself. A Chinese printer it is estimated. can arrange 4.000 characters day. The work has been carefully systematlzed, and the characters are arranged according to their formation. A simple character des- ignates its group, and tho elaboration of form Is the elaboration of its meaning. as our terminates and prefxes elaborate the root. 4 division Is devoted to the simple character that stands for wood" and all of it's ,amplihcations.
