Hearst in the Democratic national con-
Ventlon, the practical assurance that
ne VIII hot have enough delegates to
dlctate the platform or to prevent the
nomination of a man diametrically op-
posite to himself, even with the aid of
the two-thirds rule, is good news to
the country as well as to the Demo-
cratic party. For it would have been
a national disgrace had such a man
as this been presented to the voters as
"a candidate for the highest office, even
though there was not the slightest
possibility of his eleetjon.-Red Wing

Congressman McCleary believes in
revising the tariff-upward. We as
sumo that the schooln1astef congress-
man believes the tariff is not high
enough, and that the people are not
paying enough for their household
needs. McCleary at least is logical. If
the tariff is a good thing, why not give
US lots of it? If a so per cent tax is
beneficial, why shouldn't a 100 per
cent tax be better Red Lake Courier

MERlTEp HONOR

The great demonstration which fol-
lowed the mention of the name of
Grover Cleveland in the convention at
SIT. Louis sounded gratefully in the
ears of every true Democrat. 1t has
been the evil and contemptuous FASH
ion of late years to abuse this splendid
man and representative Democrat. The
feeders of faction have delighted to
heap abuse upon him. To the shame of
our party be it said that his name has
been greeted in many. Democratic gath
erings of local extent with signs of
dlsapproval That day of disgrace has
gone by and gone forever
Grover Cleveland is today the great
est living Democrat. Had he but said
a word, had he but given the slightest
hint that he would accept the nominal
ton, nothing could have prevented his
selection as the party's candidate for
president this year. Nothing but
sense Of paramount duty, the force
that has constantly governed his Life
and ruled his actions, could have COM
PEELED him to do this. He did not be-
lieve that he owed this last sacrifice.
to his party, and SO held aloof. But
here as everywhere it was devotion to
ton of duty's demands that ruled his
life. Such a man as this may we'll be
the hero of any organization.
Grover Cleveland is the only living
ex-president. He is the only Demo-
crat who has occupied the presidential
chair since 1861. He Is the only man
in the history of the republic to be re-
elected president after serving one
term and then suffering defeat after
His service. his character, his wonder
full loyalty, above all his utter patriot
ism and devotion to the republic. make
him admirable. There are Democrats
who differ utterly from him in his
views of public policy, as they have
right to do; but if they are true men
as we'll as true Democrats, they respect
and revere him none the less.
The tribute given to him at ST. Louis
was but small portion of the honor
that is his due. Grover Cleveland is
one of the great Democrats of our, age
and one of the great men of this re-
public. We have always thought and
always said that it would be the
wisest and best policy for the Demo-
cratic party not to select him as it's
candidate this year. We believed his.
election in case of nomination to be
absolutely assured; but it seemed best
to US to put aside present eXponents of
both the factions by which the party
has in the past been divided and, In
the interests of harmony to select a
new man. This has been made posi-
BILE largely by the moderation, the alb
negation and the wise and conciliatory
counsel of Grover Cleveland. All honor
to him wherever Democrats meet. AS
long as he lives he should receive just
such tribute of admiration from
every gathering of representative DEM
ecrats in the land as was given at st.
Louis.

NO HARD FEELING

The Democrats of Minnesota would
be extremely foolish to lend any as
sistance to the obvious game that the
enemy are playing in attempting to.
foment and perpetuate party dissen-
sions. The Republican papers are dis
playing alleged hostiIities in the dele
cation at st. Louis in the most faring
type they have, and Republican poll
ticians are chortling with glee over
what they hopefully call rupture
This is natural enough and good poll
no Democrat ought to help it along
There is no hard feeling and there
ought not to be any. There was lively
contest for control of this state. 1t re-
suited in partial advantage for each
side. The Hearst people divided with
their opponents the state delegation.
They were not strong enough to secure
instructions for their candidate Both
sides went to ST. Louis with their can
didates for national committeeman and
places on the important convention
committees By the unexpected de-
lection of one of the delegations elected
in opposition to Hearst that section of
the party was enabled to carry it's slate
through.
These are the plain facts, which af-
ford no occasion for quarrel or for hos
tile criticism. OF course The Clio b1e
thinks that the action was iIl-advised.
This is entirely without reference to
the qualifications of any of the gentle
men mentioned, who are good Demo-
Gratis and, as far as we are aware,
worthy of the honors bestowed upon
| them. We think it was poor politics
simply because there is nothing in it to
stand by a declared losing candidate
and cause in a national convention.
The minority is thus stripped of the
influence that it might otherwise ex-
ert. 1t counts for less than nothing.
and the effect upon its party at home
is not helpful. That is the only proper
criticism. As for all the rest of it, our
representatives at ST. Louis did pre-
c1sely what they had a right to if they
wished Their policy is open to con-
sideration; the rightfulness Of their
action as men and as Democrats is not.

THE LAND HUNGRY

Fifty thousand people are striving
for the simple chance Of filing on
claim in the reservation lands in South
Dakota which are to be opened to en-
try. OF this enormous number but
$500 can hope to secure the right of
entry. There are many of the others
whose business is not so much to ae-
quire the right to settle as to supply
this new farming community with the
necessaries and comforts of life. But
the vast majority of the crowd will be
disappointed.
The gathering of this tremendous
concourse of people from all sections of
the country shows that the hunger of
the citizen for the soil is by no means
appeased. The impression is abroad
that the government is conducting
perhaps the last of the gift enterprises
whereby it has made desert places to
bloom. And this is measurably true.
There are no more large bodies of ara
2 bic lands to be thrown open to public
settiement-at least not in those sec
lions of the United States held to be
desirable from the point of view of the
actual or prospective agriculturist. Rut
the general public is altogether wrong
In assuming that because the govern
ment has no more land to give away
there is no more CORTLAND in this
Egypt of ours.
If the great body of people now
camped on the confines of the Rosebud
reservation did but know it, they could

might more prof1tably avail themselves
of the opportunities offered TO settlers.

the lands on longtime payments and
secure at once the immensely impor-
tant advantages of established and
settled conditions of life.
The absorption of the public domain
by individuals does not shut out other
individuals from getting title to the
soil. The pioneers have made the dom
lnant conditions in this and the settled
portions of the adjoining states to COM
port with all that is best in advanced
civilized communities. It is far ehoo,-
er for the man who desires to mako a
nome for himself and his family to

clidse conditions, farm from the state

TO LOWER LAKE OF THE ISLES
Latest Plan Is to Drain Portion of It
Through Sewer

The park board is still considering
the requests of the citizens in the
nelghborhood of Kenwood and Lake of
the Isles in regard to lowering the level
of that lake, but a scheme put before
the body by Aid. Schoonmaker to con-
meet the lake with the Twenty-seventh
street sewer and lower it in that mali
ner, without affecting either Calhoun
or Harriet, win probably settle the
matter. The water in the Lake of the
Isles has been so high that it has been
a constant menace to the abuttfrfg
property and the boulevard and the
plan at first discussed by the board
was to lower all three of the lakes.
but this did not meet with the an
prevail of the residents around Harriet
