CORREGAN LAMENTS
SocialIst.Lsbor Candidate De.
nounces Things In General

Charles Hunter Corregan, long on
adipose tissue, short on hair, printer
with aspirations for the presidency,
addressed an audience in one of the
smaller halls in Federation hall last
night in behalf of his candidacy for
president as the nominee of the So
cialist-Labor party.
Corregan talked for two hours on the
rapacity of wealth and the gullibility
of labor. The press, the pulpit the
forum and the public all were included
in his philippics, and he prophesied a
revolution, happily not the revolution
of France, but b1oodless revolution,
in which the wealthy would lose their
wealth and in the same ratio the poor
would share in the division of the
spoils.
The two great political parties, he
insisted, were in the tentacleS Of the
money power and should either Parker
or Roosevelt be elected the lucky man
must pay the debt to those who gave
him the means to make his fight. With
himself twas different He was maxi
ing his campaign free and untrammeled
from the Influences of the kings of
Wall street, and if elected president
would be free to do his duty fearlessly
and fau1tlessly.
The Debs Socialists were present in
some numbers and sat with unmoved
features through the soiree in which
Mr.. Corrigan was the chief declaimer.
Their party was not attacked by the
speaker, and they left the hall pre-
dieting the early demise of the So
cialiSt-Labor party, which they allege
is the radical wing of the Socialist
movement in the country.

Fort Street Deferred

The contract for the paving of Coli
lege avenue from Third to Cedar street
was acted upon favorably yesterday by
the assembly committee on streets, City
Engineer Rundlett agreeing that the
work will not be done until next spring.
Assemblymen O'Brien and Keller,
who have heretofore objected to the
work being done this year, agreed to
vote in favor Of letting the contract II
the engineer would agree that the work
shall not be done until 1905. Mr..
O'Brien originally asked that action
be postponed for two. weeks, to which
Mr.. Regan objected, saying that the
matter should be disposed of, it being
impossible to do the work until next
year, anyway.
'The work cannot be done this fail. !"
explained Mr.. Rundlett. And II the
contract is approved at this time / will
draw the specifications in such a man
ner that the pavement will be laid the
first thing in the spring"
Twill you guarantee that the paving
will not be done this year, even though
strong pressure is brought to bear?'
asked Mr.. O'Brien.
81 would pay no attention to the
pressure answered Mr.. Rundlett.
"The work cannot be done this year
and a good paving assured. / am as
anxious for a good paving as the MEM
bers of the council"
With a like understanding existing
as to Fort street, the final order for
the paving of this street with asphalt
was passed The contract will be let
this winter, but the work will not be
started until next spring.

INJURIES TO SCHOOLS
Quarter Section of Land Likely
to Be Saved for Them

A quarter section of land containing,
it is estimated, about two million feet
of pine, will probably be saved for
the, benefit Of Minnesota schools as
the result of a recommendation to the
department of the interior made by
the register and the receiver of the
land Office a Duluth.
The land in question is the north
west quarter of section Sc, township 81
north, range 8 west, and is thus part
Der, should increase the school lands
of the state.
Feb. IS, 1903, the section was opened
to entry. Two days later Christoffer
Matson made a homestead entry on
the northwest quarter. His right to
make the entry was based on the al
legged fact that he had settled upon the
land in February, 1900, prior to the
official filing of the survey plat.
This claim was contested by the
state at two hearings in the Duluth
land office Sept. % last and Oct. 1.
The "eontestee" did not appear at
either hearing. A witness for the
state testified that Matson had not
made his. home on the quarter section:
that he had lived and worked at
Superior, fifty miles away, and that he
had visited the land only at long in
tervals.
Register w. E. Calkin and Receiver
r.. A. Smith then recommended that
the homestead entry be Cancelled and
the land returned to the state. This
suggestion will no doubt be approved
at Washington.

SAYS MINORITY
RULES IN FRANCE
F.FIament Declares People Are
Powerless to Stop Crusade
Against Religious Orders

II do not look for settlement of
the quarrel between the French gov
eminent and the religious orders for
several years" said Fontaine Flament,
a wealthy thread manufacturer of
Lille, France, who was at the Ryan
hotel yesterday on his way to the St.
Louis exposition.
President Loubet Is only nominally
the head of the French government.
The chamber of deputies and the eoun-
ell decide nearly all the questions of
foreign or domestic policy and while
the people of France, by an over
whelming majority, do not sympathize
with the present crusade against the
religious orders, they are power1ess to
help themselves SO long as the political
complexion of the chamber remains as
it is.
''The various districts have been
manipulating rrymandered, l be-
Heve, is the American term for ito
the extent that the people have really
lost control of their representatives,
and minority now rules the majority.
president Loubet is a good man, a
Catholic like myself, but he is help
less to turn in our direction, We're he
to try. 1t is a most unfortunate con-
dition for France, this quarrel that
has grown up between the government
and the religious orders as old as
France itself, but we are all hopeful
that the right will prevail in the end
and that the contending forces will be-
come harmoniZed."
Mr. Flament is prominent manufac-
turer in his country, and after visiting
the fair will go to Charleston, S. c.,
and Savannah, Ga, to meet his agents,
who have bought cotton for him for
many years in the South. He has sew
eral cotton plantations, the product
of which he utilizes in his thread mills
'"Fhe high prices of cotton for the
past year or two have affected the
thread industry but very little" he
said, "as the ordinary cotton of COM
merce is in too short lengths to be
available for manufacture into thread"
Mr.. Flament has mining interests in
Alberta, N. w. r., and is in ST. Paul
in company. with Butte (Mont.) mining
men.

IT UP TO STATE
Park Board Suggests ItPay for
New Capitol Approach

The board Of park commissioners
discussed yesterday in an informal
manner the contention of Cass Gilbert,
the capitol architect, that the city
should assist in providing an approach
to the new capitol, lit being admitted
that the board will not have the money
to accomplish what is asked.
Minneapolis will be asking the leg
islature for money with which to make
improvements at the state university,
and it would not be bad idea for st.
Paul to urge that the state make an
appropriation sufficient to construct
the approach urged Commissioner
AberIe.. with the amount apprepri-
ated for the parks the board will be
barely able to support the property
over which it has jurisdiction, and it
would be out of place for US to sug
gest that we can assist in a matter of
such magnitude"
It being unanimously agreed that the
board will not have the money with
which to do the work it was decided
that any action would be without rea-
son.
A resolution was passed ordering the
street railway company to remove It's
wires on Como avenue from Dale street
to Como lake, it being stated by Supt.
NusSbaumer that the wires pass
through the trees and do considerable
damage during storms. The wires
were originally used for electric light
purposes, but are now utilized as feed
wires. ssFf-s
1t was decided to rent the buildings
that are on the West side tract of land
recently acquired for park purposes.
improvements will not be undertaken
until next spring, and it is the purpose
of the board to secure rental from the
buildings until that time, and then dis
pose of the structures to the highest
bidders

did not knew-sone of it does not know
now-that hea was ever their enlight-
ened friend. At no time during the
whole history Of the war, replete in
fierce reeriminationS, do we hear from
his lips, or read from his pen, one vim
dictive, one proseriptiy6 word against
the South. "a fTea
GA speech of Alexander Stephens he
once described as the greatest one
hour speech he ever heard. Thence
forth he never ceased to Nve Stephens
of Georgia.5sa tt was to Stephen, dur
ing the conference held at Fortress
Monroe soon after the war began, that
Lincoln made the proposal that $780,
000 be paid to redeem the Southern
slaves on condition that the seeded
states return to the Union.
Proof of LineoIn's Offer
81 know that some jealous persons
have sought to contradict this state
ment of mine," said Col. W2tterson.
But it admits of no equivocation.
1t is based upon the undeniable exist
ence of two papers. One was the
sketch of such an agreement. and the
other draft of a proclamation which
Lincoln intended to issue had his pro-
posal been accepted by Stephens for
the Southern states. The offer was
rejected. He'll l1luCO1ti ldlQ lac 0ctaAAC
plan before his own cabinet officers,
and only gave it UP in the face Of their
united opposition.
What? % asked Mr.. Watterson, what

His, was the genius Of common
sense. He was common man, it has
we'll been said, expanded to great pro-
portions! Inspired he was truly, in
spired as other great geniuses have
been inspired srsss -
whence these enanations? We
know notS whence comes the majestic
influence of these men we cannot say.
We see them, we hear them speak;
but we knew them not. Half men, half
gods, they vanish as mysteriously as
they appeared.
Thus may the career of Abraham
Lincoln be chanted by a Greek chorus
as the mightiest drama of our modern
times. Fated to be snatched from OBJ
security and elevated to control the des-
TIMES of a nation, this fantastic figure
moves with awe ompelling dignity
across the stage of the world.
'He was, / say, inspired by God

FINDS BODY IN RIVER
Clears Mystery Surrounding
Mans Disappearance

The body of Henry Meyer, who dis
appeared from his home, 241 Cleveland
avenue, Sunday, Oct. 2, was found yes
terday afternoon in the river, wedged
among logs in a boom above the high
bridge. The morning after Meyer left
home his coat and vest were found on
the river bank near the old Bannholzer
brewery, by William Clarkson, of Lily
dale, and the clothing was identified by
Meyers son.
The body was discovered by Fred
Folk, $50 James street, who was gath
ering bark. 1t was removed to the
morgue after Deputy Coroner Maloney
had made an investigation and was
identified last night by M. Leibecke,
ATT st. Peter street.
Meyer was last seen by his family
Sunday morning, Oct. 2, about 8 o'clock,
when he left home, saying that he in
tended to visit a friend at Fort Smell
ing and would return before noon. He
had $40, but when the body was found
no money was found in the clothing.

Maier, was forty nine years old, and
had been a resident of st. Paul for over
twenty-five years. He is survived by
a widow, four sons and one daughter.

It was to hear Col. Henry Watterson,
except Greeley, of all American chiefs
in personal journa1ism-it was to hear
Henry Watterson rather than to hear
about Abraham Lincoln that a large
audience went last night to the Central
Presbyterian church.
Few persons looked forward to his
torical surprises. The manly candor
that has founded the influence of the
Louisvillian afforded guarantee that
Mr.. Watterson would not compete with
certain university experts. He could
not be expected to add three to five
historically and get seven and one
third-though the process is easy. He
could not be expected to tell new facts
concerning Lincoln, or new stories. He
was not likely to venture novel esti-
mates of man whose heart and deeds
bear all the clear simplicity of in
imitable greatness.
But a tribute to Lincoln from the
eminent Southern spokesman comes, to
certain extent, with the grace of an
enemy's compliment. Mr. WatterSon,
moreover, by inheritance, if not by per-
senal survival, is the sole, lingering
example of the oId-tfme Southern ora
tor at his best-the man of feeling as
we'll as intellect, in whom sentiment is
checked by reason and hofidity is re-
strained by taste.
"The colonePs'' countenance, as the
public knows, merges Napoleon with
Webster. Yet there IS a "war lord'
mustache that belongs to neither.
If his manner, voice, language set
forth dignity and breadth of thought,
as imperial, as statesmanlike, there is
likewise a feeundity, a spirituality of
expression and of tone that gives this
modern lecturer the atmosphere of the
robust, scholarly tragedian from the
better days. Tt was much, indeed, to
applaud last night-these sou1-glimpses
of once great men in great professions.
Lincoln Not an Extremist
Introduced by Gov. Van SAINT, Mr..
Watterson said:
mot until the Slavery question came
to the fore did congress become a bear
garden. 1t was then that statesmen
laid aside their manners with their
small clothes.' Lincoln was a 'sWhig of
the type of Henry Clay; at no time. was
he an extremist or an abolitioniSt."
The debate with Douglas was 'fthe most
extraordinary intellectual spectacle
yet furnished by our statesmen. But,
at the bottom, Lincoln and Douglas
we're each afraid of his own logic and
his own following. Assertions were
made that proved nothing; denials that
did not deny. These debaters were
politicians as well as statesmen. What
they didn't know about political cam
paigning wasn't worth knowing
Lincoln and all his tribe" declared
the Kentuckian, were Southerners.
But decidedly he was not poor white.
His imagination was that of prose
poet, his heart breathed the courage
of the lion; his brain was the states
mans brain.
His prose poem-we all know it
his immortal prose poem, was the
speech at Gettysburg. That he was a
statesman we all know. But the South
