 Robert D. Benedict writes to The New York Sun to correct Congressman A A. Wiley's history of the capture of the Margaretta in 1175 the first contest in the proposed a bill to erect a monument to Jeremiah O'Brien, the commander of the Margaretta. As Mfr. Benedict makes the exploit of O'Brien and his men even more remarkable than Mir. Wiley'S account makes 1t, the two are in substantial agreement that OBrien deserves Q monu- Inent; but MT. Benedict wants Benjami Foster included, who made his speech and took the deciding step that led to the capture of the vessel.

In a public speech at Minneapolis on

that he had it on the authority Of Mr..
James J. Hill himself that Gin the
campaign of 1894 Judge Collins So
licited and secured from Mr.. Hill be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 as a contri-
button to his campaign fund.-
In ringing statement charged with
good Republican doctrine Judge Col

manner characteristic Of all his efforts
in public life, proves himself master OF
the occasion and leads contending fac
tions to a higher plane of political
methods and party loyalty.

cannot allow the recent attack OF Mr.
Dunn to go unnoticed. He has right

friends upon these questions. l judge

he is quoted as saying concerning the

heated discussion in this state: 81

Dunn has never announced change
of mind upon this subject. In fact, q
short time since he caused this inter
view to be republished, with a state
ment that he stood by it, and in his
interview with Mr.. Hill, published in
the dispatch of the 7th inst, the latter
speaking of the present campaign, as
sured Mr.. Dunn that he had his (Mr
Hi1Is) "best wishes" and also that the
figures to be obtained at the Office
might help Bob Because many
persons, including myself, have recog
nized and seen fit to refer to this wei
known relationship and intimacy be
tween these gentlemen-Whlch init
macy and exchange of sympathy Mr.
Dunn now publicly admits-he found
provocation in a speech at Minneapo
lis on May to charge calmly and de
liberately' that in 1894, when candi
date for, reelection to the supreme
bench, "solicited and secured the
support of James ]. Hill to the extent
of contribution of from 100000 tt

The Wisconsin state convention re-
suited in a split which is likely to
give the state to the democrats. Gov
ernor LaFollette. who is out of place
in the republican party, controlled the
convention and the corporation crowd
bolted. The democrats have a great
opportunity there. There is little
doubt that the great mass OF demo-
Gratis there are in sympathy with La
Follette's antagonism to corporate
aggression, and unless the democrats
nominate a man wLo- is right on that

The supreme court of the United

be barred from the United States for
having opinions on government differ

This was in the case Of Turner, the
English philosophical anarchist, who
is deprived from doing in the United
States what he did in England,
France and Germany-speak on his
opinions. The supreme court has CIV
en- at times decisions in the interests

it, which is that at the time mentioned

large sum of money mentioned. It
was this construction and meaning
had in mind when writing my former
