MINNESOTA POLITICS

:
I, The frenzied partizans now engaged in
plackening the reputation Of their oppon-
ents Wlthln the party are getting properly
roasted by the unprecedented press of the
state which still exists to limited ex-
tent. The Pipestone Review goes after
them IN vigorous fashion in the following:
The newspa pers of the state, that have
been fomenting this strife among the re-
publican brethren seem to be losing sight
OF the TACT that all the men thus far
mentioned for the position Of governor
are nigh minded men and loyal repub-
leans, and that all Of these same papers
may IN the end have to support some Of
tnese men as the nominees of the party
Gentiemen, you are now furnishing am
illunitlon that will later be used by them
IN the most effective manner.
1t was just such pre-convention talk
tnat once made democrat governor Of
inns state The early fight on the state
mouse crowd, and the shout of the gang
resulted IN the defeat of one of the best
men that the republicans ever Nominated
Tor governor William Henry Eustis.
Inc editor who sends out such stuff as
IS oelng blue penciled by the Faribault
Journal, and distributed by the owners Of
tnat paper over the state, is an enemy o
the republican party, for he is opening a
cnasm into which some good republican
nominee may perforce be thrown Unless
tnese over-zealous editors think more of
the gang that they themselves would like
10 see victorious, than they do Of the
triumph OF the party, they will give us q
rest
Last years overwhelming victory has
naturally given republicans a feeling Of
extreme confidence. and they feel less
computation about calling names and
exposing scoundrels" than they have
since the Merriam days.

The Winnipeg Telegram thinks that the
Grand Trunks line between Moncton and
Quebec Will be good deal Of blind and
that the real traffic route of the Grand
Trunk will be from Winnipeg to Mime
apolis and Duluth via the Great Northern,
and from Minneapolis to Chicago via the
Wisconsin Central, which the Grand
Trunk will acquire. At Duluth the Grand
Trunk would connect with its own steam
ers and enjoy a shorter haul to water than
either the Canadian Northern or Cana
dian Pacific. At Chicago the Grand Trunk
would meet its own line again. It is said
that in any event it will be seven years
before the proposed line connects Moncton
with Winnipeg. Long before seven years
have passed the Grand Trunk can have
an extensive railway system on the prai-
ries of the west, which will have to have
some sort Of an eastern connection.

Hard Coal Facts.

The anthracite mine owners are still
paying for their folly of last year In let
ting the coal miners strike run SO many
months without making serious efforts to
settle it. They lost a large part Of their
market for steam coal and have not been
able to regain it. 1t is estimated that
from % to 80 per cent Of the volume Of
coal formerly sold by the anthracite COM,
panies for steam making is still held by
the bituminous coal companies, which got
all the business during the strike.
Asthe mines have been producing at an
unprecedented rate. the anthracite COM
bine finds that 1t has surplus Of steam
coal on it's hands. Consequently, altho the
demand for domestic coal in the west Is
still strong, the washeries are being shut
down and it is likely that some of the
mines will be operated on shorter working
hours.
Meantime, the coal companies every
where continue to make the regular 10
cent month advances in the price Of coal.
Why does the public have to stand these
advances when the mines have produced a
surplus of coal? If the answer is that
| there is no surplus except Of steam coal.
why should the mines shut down three
months before the close Of navigation on
the great lakes? If the mines have pro-
duced more steam coal than they can sell
| this year, why should they undertake to
curtail the supply Of domestic coal except
to make the consumer of such coal make
up to them their loss of the steam coal
market?
And speaking about coal combines, was
there ever better proof Of their existence
than the ability Of the anthracite coal peo-
pie to make the price exactly what they
please from month to month, just as a
mining corporation can mark up the price
Of its paper at it's own sweet will, with
this difference-nobody has to buy mining
stock at the price dictated by the pro-
moters, but we all have to buy hard coal
at the price named by the combine.

FAMOUS MoATED HOUSES

The moat which so often surrounded
halls and castles insthe old days Is now
generally dry and filled up; but some re-
markable specimens still remain. Per-
haps the finest example Of moated house
is Birmingham hail. the seat of Lord
Tollemache in Suffolk, about eight miles
from Ipswich. The drawbridge still re-
mains, and it has been raised every night
for more than 300 years, the ancient pre-.
caution being observed even tho the need
for it has long passed by. The moat which
surrounds Leeds castle, near Maidstone,
is so wide that it may almost be called a
lake. The ancient episcopal palace at
Wells is surrounded by walls which in
close nearly seven acres of ground, and
by moat which is supplied with water
from ST. Andrews well. A venerable
bridge spans the rneat. giving access thru
a tower gateway insfthe other court.

FRIDAY EVENING,

personal relations without intermarrying
or having any intimate social relations
whatever.
The fact is that the English speaking
race wherever found has an active or la
tent prejudice against the colored races.
In Canada and England where negroes
are few there art no racial distinctions
of any kind, 1t Is true, but give either OF
them large negro population and the
prejudice, race exclusiveness, or whatever
you wish to call it, would develop.
This race repulsion must be taken into
account in considering the negro problem,
whether we like to or not. It enforces
the separation Of the two races where
ever considerable numbers Of both are
found in the same community. Such sep
aration as John Temple Graves suggests.
the separation Of transportation of the
negroes Is impossible. The separation
must be, as 1t Is, In social relations.

A JEWS PHENOMENAL MEMORY

Think of man who has SO memorized
a book Of twenty volumes that he can in
stantly tell you the first word on any page
you may name, can repeat exactly all the
words in any particular line on any page,
can repeat the whole book from beginning
to end, or take any chapter at random and
do the same. Such man is Rev. David
Rosenfield. He Is from Minsk, Russia
Jew who finds it healthier to live in the
United States than in the land Of Kish-
inef n1assacres He came to this country
five months ago, and after short visit in
Chicago went on to Seattle, where he has
been visiting relatives. Rosenfield has one
of the most wonderful memories in the
world. He is of short stature, with a
large head, the forehead bullying promin-
emily over the eyes-a characteristic of all
those who have performed remarkable
feats OF memory. His beard is long and
bushy, his eyes large and of kindly ex-
preston. Rosenfield has completely mas
tered the whole OF the Talmud, and most
Of his marvellous feats are performed in
connection with that book

Worse Place Than the United States

The United States Is not the only nation
that has a serious race problem on it's
hands. The British empire, thru its Aus
tralian, South African and West Indian
dependencies, has questions Of race rela-
lions to settle that are about as difficult
as ours, and not SO near settlement. The
race question does not present great diff
culties in such colonies as India, where
the British are present as rulers and con-
stitute a mere dominant fraction Of the
population. But In Australia where the
prejudice of the dominant whites against
all forms Of intercourse with dark-skinned
people Is strong, and in South Africa,
where both the Dutch and English have
nothing but contempt for the natives
among whom they live and work, the case
Is more complicated
In Australia every effort Is made to keep
the colored man. whether black or yellow,
from getting work. In this country we
are trying hard to persuade him to work.
Certainly we treat the colored brother
better than the Australians. The govern
ment over there will not contract with
any steamship line for the carrying of
Australian mails if it employs a single
colored man. No colored man can secure
employment on any vessel engaged in the
Australian coasting trade or owned and
registered in Australian ports.
& In South Africa, as Mr.. Arthur Hawkes.

THE NoNPAD1EL MAN AT WORK.

Perham, Mimi, had real estate boom
the other day, a mysterious stranger ap-
pearing in town and agreeing TO purchase
the hotel and several business blocks, and
giving 1t out on the quiet that he was
going to make things boom. He finally
walked out Of town, leaving an unpaid
board bill and a valise. The valise
among other things, a check for
1865, drawn on an Iowa bank and signed
Happy Days" 1t is considered a pretty
good joke by everybody except the party
who furnished the board. His laugh has
a tinge of bitterness in 1t.
In the current Atlantic Monthly Dr..
Lyman Abbott discusses feminine indif-
ference to woman suffrage as shown, for
example, in the vote of the women Of
Massachusetts, in 1895, when, on ques-
ton whether they desired the ballot. only
a per cent replied in the affirmative. There
are easier ways of obtaining freedom than
voting for somebody who is never elected.
It's about time for some good, active
barometer to break this drought.
One Of these blinded hypnotists came to
grief at Valley City the other day. While
he was taking a blindfolded gallop In
team hunting for hidden pin secreted
by committee Of prom. cts, the pole
professor lost connection with six or
eight vibrations in the occult and was
pulled out over the dashboard, breaking
an arm and sustaining other injuries. And
to add to the trouble, the liveryman sued
the professor for $50 damages. In addi-
ton to this, the committee Of prom. cts.
is out one pin, the members Of the COM
mittee having forgotten where they hid

sciousness has its trolley on.
report is around that the name of
the city of Aitkin, Mimi, is to be changed

made before accepting the million dollars

A Philadelphia bride required the omis-
sion Of the word "obey' from the mar
riage ceremony and entered into a written
contract with her husband, signed In the
presence of witnesses, defining the privi-
leges and prerogatives of both herself and
her spouse as husband and wife. This is
very businesslike arrangement, no
doubt, but the framing of such an agree
ment to start with is not very promising
for a happy marriage. Young people who
cannot trust each other in matters of that
kind without having a written agreement
between themselves are not likely to find
that agreement of much value in the
preservation of domestic harmony.
