The trial of Machen, ct al. for
conspiracy to defraud the govern

Machen who was head of the rural
tree delivery service is charged
with receiving "rake OFFS from
parties furnishing supplies to the
postoffice department. The case is
being stubbornly fought, and as
bride takers and givers seldom put
evidences of their transactions in

is no more terse, epigramatic, in
teresting and convincing political
speaker in the state. We have for.
gotten the times and places he
spoke in favor of the candidates and
platform of the Republican state
convention in 1902. Was he in
favor of the platform but against
putting it in practice? We would
like this information, will he fur
nish it, and if not why?
r. G. Dunn: 81 pledge myself
to observe and enforce the law
which gives to ex-Uniou the pref
erence in appOintive officers" Mr.,
Dunn was State Auditor for eight
years and he selected the following
battle-scared ex-Union soldiers as
"appointive officers to assist him:

On Monday the President sent to

Minnesota.
Gov. Van SAINT has been in the
city for several days. He is one of
the committee to urge upon Con-
gress the necessity for a deeper
channel in the Mississippi from St.
Anthony Falls to St. Louis. From
thence down to its mouth the chan
mel of the Mississippi is of suffi-
cient depth for ordinary river craft.
After the completion of the Pan.
anna canal traffic on the Mississippi
will undoubtedly be much greater,
but if the northwestern states are
to derive the greatest benefits from
the canal, Legislation upon the lines
advocated by the committee now
here is essential. 1t is argued that
what traffic has done for Duluth,
river traffic will do for the towns
on the upper Mississippi. The to-
tai cost of the improvement is es-
timated at s15, 100000. Gov. Van
SAINT told the committee that fifty
cities were directly interested in
the project, and that $4,000, 900
people would be benefited by regu-
lar competitor in river transporta-
ton. II

The fine work of Senator German
and the moneyed interests of Wall
street gave St. Louis the national
democratic convention after the
plum had been practically conceded
to Chicago. The leaders of the
German boom and the moneyed in
terests feared that another candi-
date might stampede the convention
at Chicago, as Bryan did in 1896.
From what one may hear in the no.
tel lobbies from the lips of demo-
cratic politicians, the trusts and
Wall street manipulators will con-
tribute literally to the democratic
campaign fund, if the right man is
nominated, and fixing the place of
holding the convention at St. Louis
is considered as the first step nee
essary towards the desired end.

The St. Paul Dispatch, truly
says: cit is not probable that Sen
ator Young of Appleton, will form

forces" Nor is it probable he will
form one with the Dunn, Eddy or

for Governor, and running on his
own reputation and merits, which
is eminently proper.

While Washington is in MANY re-
spects the best governed city in the
country, the people are imposed
upon by several corporations, to an
extent that would not be tolerated
IN cities havinga home rule govern
ment. One telephone company, for
instance has monolopy of the
business and as a consequence the
rates are about four times as HIGH
as in st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and the service is abominable.
Against this extortion the people
have cried out in vain, and all ef-
forts to remedy the evil appear to
share the same fate, they are put 20
peaceful slumber in the pigeon
holes Of the capitol committee
rooms. Now an affort is being
made to reduce the price of gas.
John r. Mclean, the democratic
politician from Cincinnati, is the
head of this company. 1t remains
to be seen whether Congress will
grant this last request. The
trouble that while the executive
system of government is a most ex-
cellent one, the Legislative branch
is too cumbersome, as the entire
Congress takes a hand in cnacting
the laws for Washington city.
The next state III which republi-
cans are to be DISTINGUISHED is
Maryland, which in the last two
presidential campaigns gave its
vote to the republican party. Now
that the Legislature is democratic,
laws will be enacted to prevent
reoccurrence of such voting on the
part of the citizens. Enough voters
will be disfranchised to reduce
Maryland's representation in Con-
gress by at least one member, if the
republican leaders in Congress
would only insist upon the enforce
ment of the constitutional pro-
vision, which requires that member
ship in Congress shall be based up
on voting population whenever a
state, discriminates against a GER
tain class of citizens. The south
now has about twice the represen-
tation to which it is legally en-
titled, and yet whenever efforts are
made to enforce the law, timid re-
publicans line up cheerfully with
the democrats, and virtually GO on
record as saying that one white man
in the south is entitled to offset the
vote of at least six voters in states
that have fair election laws. How
much longer will the citizens of the
latter class of states submit to such
imposition. In the minds of
thoughtful men this is really the
most important question confront
ing the republic, and it is hoped
