A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR
HOUSES

The same criticism that lies against
of William J. Bryan upon the Demo-
cratic platform and candidate apply
with equal pertinence and strength to
the comments Of Grover Cleveland as
announced by one of the leading publ
cations of the country. 1t is time that
the rivalry between the adherents of
these two men should die and be for
gotten in surviving reverence for De-
mocracy and a devotion to it's inter-
ests, regardless of individual connec-
ton. We are tired, and we believe
that the voters of this country are ut
terly sick and tired of this personal
note in Democratic politics. Practi-
cally, we find nothing but loss in per-
petuating this discussion; and in a
party sense it is as indecorous as 1t is
offensive.
The truth about the money cues
ton was told in no uncertain terms
before the st. Louis convention; not
merely by representatives from New
York. but by men formerly of such
pronounced views on the other side as
John Sharp Williams and Senator Till
man. The former challenged the con-
vention to say that silver is an issue
in this campaign, and every member
of that great body, including Mr.. Rry-
| an himself, sat down. The latter
turned to Mr.. Bryan in committee.
when he was expressing his devotion
to the Kansas City platform and said:
you loved your grandmother. But
she died four years ago, and YOU
should not insist upon having her kent
| in the front parlor to sit I'D with eon,-
pany." There is no more sense and no
more propriety in further discussion of
this subject today than in reviving an
ancient discussion over the or6;nances
of secession.
Inc same reproof that applies to one
side applies to the other. The refer
ences of Mr.. Cleveland to differences
that formerly divided the Democra tic
party are unhappy and unseenlv.
Let us have an end of it all.
Ihese two men have played their
parts in the life Of the nation and
in the history of Democracy. Each has

A STRAINED SITUATION

If there had been no South African
War, the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Great Britain and Russia would
be question of days or hours. Moth
ing but the caution imposed by that
terrible struggle and the financial bur-
dens under which it left England stag
gering could restrain the burning in
dignation of her people today. A Brit
ish boat carrying British stores des-
tined for British authorities in the
East has been stopped and taken as
prize by a Russian vessel, on the
ground that the cargo was designed
for Japan and therefore contraband Of
war The whole British empire is
aroused over the situation, and even
the most timid and conservative por-
ton of the press is white hot with
wrath.
Tardy explanations from st. Peters,
burg relieve this of the air of
| wanttfon insult, but they also con-
tain threats. of future repetition. I'm
doubtedly there, has been plenty of
material Struggled into the East by
vessels of all nationalities. This prac-
| tice goes On whenever and wherever
war exists, because there is big money
In 1t. The British government cannot
be conceived of, however, as a party
to any such transaction. No nation
| could allow one of it's merchant vessels
to be taken as the Malacca has been
without demanding reparation and
apology under threat of war. Unless
the Russian policy of ov.rhauling mer-
| chantmen under friendly flags indis-
criminately is tempered by greater
| caution, public feeling in England is
likely to burst all restraints and insist
upon war in any event with the ancient
and bitterly hated enemy of the empire.

the name of former Senator E. E.
Smith; Judge Elliott wanted M. H.
Boutelle named as his representative,
and Senator Clapp was committed to
Grimshaw. With four candidates and
but two places assigned to Hennepin
the necessity for enlarging the COM
mittee was obvious and it was finally
agreed that all should be cared for ex-
cept Grimshaw, and the Thursday
morning meeting remedied this minor
defect in the arrangements.
Condo Hamlin, the new chairman of
the new committee, was notified of his
selection by newspaper men and eX-
pressed his appreciation of the honor
of his appointment.
L shall call no meeting of the COM
mittee until 1 have had an opportunity
to consult with the candidates on the
ticket" he said. There is no need for
haste, as 1 am certain that the plan is
to have short campaign in Minnesota
this fall. l shall endeavor to treat all
interests with fairness and will be the
chairman of the committee for the Re
publican party and for no man or fac
ton in the party"
1t Is Mr.. Hamlin'S first assignment

May Not Have Executive Committee
candidate on the ticket said after
the close of the conference that there
had been no discussion as to the iden-
tity of a treasurer to be elected for the
committee nor of the executive com
mittee. 1t was possible that there
might be no executive committee Sc
fected this year, and that the general
committee would conduct the cam
paign. The executive committee idea
was comparatively recent departure
in Minnesota politics.
The new committee makes clean
sweep Of the old committee. Of the to-
tai membership of the Van SAINT COM
mittee but four are found enrolled in
the membership of the new. These
are A. D. Stephens, of Crookston; c.
e. Ward, of Ada; Mile Bunnell, of
Duluth, and z. B. Hawkins, of Biwabic.
Or the new committee three of the
four Hennepin county men were among
the Collins delegates unseated by the
state convention.
The new committee is primarily a
Dunn committee, though of course
numbers of the committeeman are all
most equally friendly to other candi-
dates on the ticket. OF the thirty-t three
members, twenty-eight are pronounced
Dunn men, the remaining five who sup
ported Collins in the pre-convention
campaign being Lord Boutelle, Halver-
son, E. E. Smith and Gr1mshaw. The
others are rock-ribbed for Dunn.
Lord is said to be the selection Of
Congressman Tawney in the First dis
trlct and HalverSon owes his place on
the committee to the same influence.
Boutelle is Judge Elliott's friend, Smith
is the representative of Jones and
Grimshaw of Senator Clapp.
Diamond, of Mankato, and Torson, of
st. James, are credited to w. E. Young,
candidate for railroad and warehouse
commissioner: Todd, of ST Paul, to
Judge Jaggard: Tompkins, of Redwood,
and Crosby, of Willmar, to e. 7. Young,
candidate for attorney general; March,
of Litchfeld, to Peter z. Hanson;
Funk, of LIE Sueur, to julius Block, and
BunneH and Hawkins to Supreme
Court Justice Lewis. The others are
largely credited to the influence of the
candidate for governor.

A ROTTEN LIFE PREsERvER

Among the other monuments of an
| tique finance that engage the conteni-
| plation of the Pioneer Press is that
hoary sinner, the sinking fund. 1t has
! figured out that, according 70 the
terms of the law authorizing bond is
sues, the sinking fund created will re-
deem 100000 of bonds in ten years.
Maybe it will. If the present adj
| ministration of city affairs continues,
| and if Comptroller Betz or man as
faithful as he remains in charge of
that office, the sinking fund provision
will be observed. And if, on the other
hand, the appetite for extravaganza
gets the upper hand, then it will be
either comfortably ignored or repealed
stance of city members of the legisla-
ture.
Theoretically the sinking fund sys-
tenn is perfect. Honestly carried out,
it works to a charm. But the history
of sinking funds in this country is "a
story Of unlimited fraud or false pre-
| fences. The national treasury's opera
tons are supposed to be controlled by
a sinking fund act. Would our con-
temporary care to publish the COM
plete history of the federal sinking
fund?
IN the of tho oit M ar
for 1892, on page 80, the curious
reader may find this, in bold type:
Statement No. 154, Sinking Fund"
Under this head we learn as follows:
Until this year no sinking fund had
been provided. Three hun
dred and sixteen thousand five hum
dred dollars is now so invested. =
These certificates draw pefheent.
For the sinking fund there is also
| placed in the tax levy an amount
which, together with other miscellane-
Gus receipts, will meet maturing
bonds" .2sf
The same childlike faith twelve
years ago that we observe in our con-
temporary today. Whose creates a
sinking fund to pay off an existing
debt may have some little hope that
his frail vessel will survive the stress
Of storms. Whose incurs new obliga-
tons because there is a sinking fund
provision attached casts himself into
the wide ocean of debt with only a
rotten life preserver to support him.

REPLEVINS CHICKENS
WHILE THEY SLEEP
After a Lively Chase, Constable Cor
rails Them When They Go to Roost

A wagon, an incubator and eighty
six chickens were part of the property
which John Bahneman replevined a
few days ago from a farm owned by
Casper Oberlein, near Kohlman's lake,
this county. Bahneman alleged, in a
suit brought before Justice of the
Peace James l.. Johnson, of st. Paul,
that Oberlein was wrongfully detain-
ing the property in order to collect an
unjust claim for rent.
W. B. Boyd, a constable, who made
the replevin, could manage the wagon,
although it lacked one wheel. But he
temporarily abandoned an attempt to
catch the eighty-six chickens after he
had chased them half around the lake.
He waited until night and took them
readily when they had gone to roost.
Justice Johnson continued the case

to us that no man is the best friend

or indirectly, the discussion of an issue
that has been buried by common con-
