The Reason Why S. r. johnson Is Being

Democratic Paper Says Nice Things
About Congressman MccIeary-Judge
Spooners Re. election Assured.


The Sleepy Eye Herald says it doesn't
know much about Sam Johnson, but
Judging by the way some Of those hide
bound republican papers talk about him,
he must be awful
Which .provokes the Wadena Pioneer
Journal to remark:
Samuel 4. Johnson. public examiner. is
indeed a very bad man. He is guilty of an
awful crime. During his official career
he has compelled the railroads of this state
to pay into the tpublic treasury several
hundreds of thousands Of dollars in taxes,
which under the law they were dodgng.
He looked over the books of various COM
panies and found that they were not
making proper returns on their gross
tify the mistake. Of course Mr.. johnson
IS therefore not safe man-for the rail
roads. 1t is not surprising that under
the circumstances a whole lot of newspa-
pers misrepresent and abuse him. They
have received orders to kill him Off and
they are carrying out those orders to the
best of their ability
The st. James Journal. which has
pounded Congressman McCleary in season
and out of season for years and years
has taken a new tack. Editor Lynch re-
fuses an invitation extended by brother
scribe, to mix it up'' with the congress-
man, and says:
"In fact, respect for Mr. McCleary
grows ON the Journal with the passing of
time. Politically there isn't a crooked
thing about him-barring a little thing
such as the presentation of facts, for in
stance-and he is as clean a fighter as
ever went on the stump. The Journal be-
lieves in reforming the tariff with an axe
Mr.. McCleary doesn't believe in reforming
the tariff at all-he is a standpatter of
the most ultra description, and he doesn't
pretend to be anything else. He knows
that the republican party will not reform
the tariff in any respect and he doesn't
go around telling the people that it will, or
that he wishes that 1t would. He is a con-
sistent republican, and there are not many
of them, so we, wish him long life. and
hope he will represent the second district

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade.

New York, Jan. 16.-R. 6. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
Fuel shortage is still the one seri-
ously disturbing element in the in
dustrial situation. Transporting
facilities have been diverted from
other merchandise to the disadvantage
of shippers, yet iron furnaces are IN
able to secure sufficient supplies of coke,
and many other manufacturing plants
reclosed because Of inadequate coal
deliveries. Mines are more fully
operated, but there is no prospect of
normal conditions until spring. Ex-
tremely low temperature during the
past week stimulated distribution of
heavy clothing and other seasonable
goods. Retail trade was accelerated by
the customary clearance sales, especial
ly in dry goods and kindred branches.
Travelling men are sending large
orders for spring goods. the volume
of advance business SURPRISING the
customary amount for this time of
year.
Quiet conditions in the iron and
steel markets do not mean dullness or
diminishing consumption, but merely
the oversold condition of furnaces and
mills, together with great uncertainty
about keeping plants active on a day
to day supply of fuel Inquiries are
numerous, especially in structural
lines, but makers are not ready to ac-
cept bids until the future appears
more definite.
Dry goods trading has increased in
volume buyers arriving in great num-
bers, and the prospect favors still
more activity in the latter half of the
month. There is little disposition to
anticipate wants in the cotton goods
division. but immediate needs have
evidently grown more depressing.
Failures numbered 267 in the Uni
ted States, against 334 last year.

SENATOR TILLnAN ON The TRUSTS.
A Very Lively Day in The Senate
Chamber.

Washington, Jan. 16.-In the Senate
yesterday Senator Tillman continued
his arraignment of trusts and monopo-
lies and again charged the Attorney
General as being primarily responsible
for lack of action with regard thereto.
Senator Tillman declared that the
railroads are absolutely in the saddle
on the coal question. They mine and
market coal and fix the price, he
charged, without regard to a solitary
Independent operator. He said it was
an infamy the way the press of the
country was prostituted and lending
itself to befuddle tie minds of the peo-
pie and deceive them into the idea
that the railroads are willing and
anxious TO relieve the distress occa-
stoned by the coal famine, but that
somebody, somewhere, called an inde-
pendent operator, is responsible for
the present condition Of affairs.
The President deserves no credit,
said he, except for his attempt to
effect settlement of the question,
but the actual fact isl he added,
that J. Pierpont Morgan gave or
ders to his co-conspirators or servants
to attempt the arrangement between
monopoly and strikers. The At
torney General has been, he said,
derelict and criminal, and he is the
man to whom the people can point and
say, You have murdered all those
who have frozen to death. You are
the man who deserves the opprobrium,
and hate of the poor and oppressed Of
this land. -
In the course Of his remarks Senator
Tillman stated, after being closely
questioned by Senator Spooner, that
W. R. Hearst had charged that the
United States district attorney of New
York and received orders from the
Attorney General not to submit his
report Of his Investigation regarding
trusts.
To his mind, be said, case had
been made and the evidence and facts
had been unanswered. The law, he
said, was too plain for anyone to dis
pute it.
Senator Beyeridge, of Indina, took
exception TO a statement BY Senator
Tillman, which ne thought impugned
the motive of Judge Woods in issuing
his injunction in the Debs case.
Replying Senator Tillman said Judge
Woods went far beyond anything ever
contemplated by any American Judge.
Why,'' he inquired, are j. Pier
pont Morgan or his o-conspirators any
more immune from the proceedings Of
our Courts of justice than Eugene
Debs?"
Mr.. Morgan" he said, chad such
a sanctity thrown around him on ac-
count of his vast wealth that to i'm
prison him would cause the stars to
get out of their course or tho sun to
stand still. "He had. he said,
:. brought in the Presidents name, be-
cause he is the boss of Knox, and if
Mr.. Knox is responsible he either has
misled the President or somebody else
has misled him, but primarily Mr..
Knox is responsible for lack of action
in regard to trusts.
