 Joint Debate
BOWIE TO HAVE OPPOSITION
John w. Ketchum Is Duly Accredited Republican Candidate for Congress In Fourth Dlstrlct-pistriet
 Strongly Democratic.

Montgomery, September 12.-(Special)- The following letter has been sent B. w. Walker, candidate of the republicans for congress in the Fifth district against Congressman J. T. Hefiin:
 Dear Sir: Your letter has been receiv- ed, and in reply l have to say that I will not be present at the formal christening of your congressional aspirations
 T am curious for many reasons to hear MT Littlefield speak, and more especially since he comes all the way from Maine to Alabama to discuss the present dan gerous and offensive policies of the re- publican party.
 "As to the suggestion for a joint de- bate between you and myself, under all the circumstances must confess that I can hardly bring my mind to consider such a proposition. neally, l have been unable to find anybody in the district who regards your candidacy seriously.
 T am inclined to the opinion that per- son@lly, for one or two reasons at least, it would be in a measure gratifying to me to engage you one or two times in the district but the proprieties in the premises forbid. Very truly

Nothing has been accomplished except
to reinforce the old lesson that the

unhappily, the interests of the state
We're confided in this case considered
it an easy mark" AS usual. it is the
people who pay the piper. The money
that they provided has been spent with

their own stupidity. 1t has purchased

MICHAEL WANTS CITY
RAILWAY TO SHOW HIM
Advises First Warders to Beware of
Company's "Hot Air"

The street railway committee from
the First Ward Improvement associa-
ton, consisting Of Abel Anderson, c.. E.
Hillstrom, Swan Ponthan, H. H Blinn
and A. D. Nelson, spent some time
yesterday In consultation with Corpo-
ration Attorney Michael.
The purpose of the interview was
to reach an understanding concern
ing the proposed building of the ex-
tension of the street railway to Phalen
park An agreement has been reached
whereby the company has agreed to
begin work within a few days, with
the belief that the city will begin pro-
ceedings to enforce the gross earnings
tax.
Mr.. Michael assured the members of
the committee that as far as he is
concerned he will not bring proceed
ings until the proposed extension has
been completed. But he advised the
First warders that it would be well
to continue of the opinion that the
company has been "peddling hot air."
as he does not think that the test will
be made on the Lafayette line extern
sion. The committeeman gained the
impression that it is the apparent pur-
pose of the street railway company to
bring the restraining action them
selves, thus leaving the park without
street railway accommodations
through the summer.

Accused of Robbery.

mot guilty" was the verdict returned
yesterday afternoon in the case Of
Anton Zarembrinsh and Joseph ProehI,
charged with robbery in the first de-
gree. The jury did not retire until
1890, the morning session of court
being extended for the completion of
the case; and the verdict was returned
before o'clock.
There are still two joint indictments
standing against Zarembrinski and
Proehl, or Prill, as he is designated in
the return of the grand jury. In one
indictment, based upon the same event
in which Michael SammOn figured. they
are charged with having held up
Thomas Downs on the night Of March
Is and having by force robbed him of
$40 In the other they are accused
OF having stolen SIS out of Henry
Jantz's saloon on the same night After
the verdict in the Sammon case had
been returned the men were released
from custody on bail of $500 each in
the Downs case and 5000 each in the
Jantz case.
When seen by I he Globe yester-
day, County Attorney Kane said he
was not then prepared to say what the
state would do in regard to the other
indictments against Zarembrinski and
ProehI. He would first have to investi-
gate the states evidence as to identifi-
cation.
In the trial closed yesterday the evil
dence for the state was entirely Of a
circumstantial character, and there was
no testimony to positively identify
either of the accused men with the
masked highwaynien who robbed Mi
chael Sammon and Thomas Downs.
Neither of the prisoners had any pre-
ViOuS criminal record. and both were
able to show that in the past and

arrest they had been pretty regularly

Disbanded! Well scarcely! When
the proper time comes the Democracy
will have candidates. AS yet it is too
early, because. we don't know who will
be nominated by our opponents, it be-
ing inconceiVable that either of two
such bad men as the Republican pa

will be the candidate for governor of
this great state.-WabaSha Herald.
We learn with pleasure that Capt

L. l.. Brown, of Winona, are being con-
sidered for delegates to the Democratic
national convention by the Democrats
of the First congressional district. Both
are veteran Democrats who deserve
recognition by their party, and would
ably represent their party in the ma
tional onvention.-Faribault Pilot
We do not believe that the Demo-
Gratis are all going wild over the Hearst
candidacy for president Judge Par

to indicate that Clevelands name will
also come up at the conventiOn.-Hast-

After a full investigation of the

WHAT WILL THE FARMERS Dor

We published recently an interest
ing comment by a Republican, in one
Of the Republican papers of the state,
upon the course of Congressman Vol
stead and the declarations of the con-
vention that ratified 1t. This we do not
only believe, we know to represent the
belief and the wishes of the farmers
of our state. Why should it not? Is
think that tariff can raise the price
of the portion of Minnesota wheat sold
in Minnesota markets, while at the
same time not affecting the price of the
portion sold abroad? Is any one Of
them blind to the effect of the tariff
upon everything that he must produce,
to the solace and comfort that it gives
the trusts? Is any one of them indif-
ferent to the splendid market that
would be open to him across the line
if we had reciprocity with Canada?
We cannot be persuaded that the
idiots that the Republicans assume
them to be- Their interest, their al
most sole and consuming interest, lies
in extending their markets. This they
can do by breaking down the tariff
wall by reciprocity with Canada. That
may be barely possible now, but will
be denied whenever the Chamberlain
policy is carried into effect. This they
can do by SCATTERING the protection
trusts. In answer to this need and
this demand they have the inanities of
Volstead and the fist in the face deliv-
cred by the standpatters.
If the farmers Of Minnesota wish to
be held up with the right hand and
robbed with the left, they will go on
voting the Republican ticket. If they
want a policy in harmony with their
interests, if they would cease to be the
and forth between the Republican boss
and the manager of the trusts, then
they have one recourse only. What
ever their political wishes or connec-
tons in other particulars may be, let
them vote for Democratic candidates
for congress. In so doing they will
only be following the teachings that
they have had from Republican news
papers all over this state, which give
honorable mention to principles in the
interest of the farmer and then nom
mate candidates representing policies
that serve private interest at the
farmers cost. The voters of Mime
sofa have tolerated this a long time.
Do they intend to be played for suckers
