Money In Politics.

To the Editor of The Journal.
In conversation yesterday with Captain
H A. Castle, recently auditor Of the
treasury department for the postoffice de-
partment, at st. Paul. he told me that In
1884 think it was. he was chairman Of
the republican state committee, and that
all the money which the committee ex-
pended that year was $3.50; that the
highest amount contributed by any one
person was $25, and that the result was a
republican majority of over 100000.
Two years ago, I am informed, James
J. Fill alone contributed $4,000 to the
democratic campaign fund, OF which
SIS, 900 was expended for the benefit Of
Congressman John Lind A former
mayor. now dead, told me that his cleo
ton as mayor of this city cost him $780,
5000 Mayor Haynes election, am In
formed, cost $751; 900, Of which $4,000. I
am told, was contributed by a large local
corporation
It Is evident, If these statements arc
anywhere near the truth, that poor man
can no longer be elected to an office
In this city, county or state unless he Is
backed by and has the aid Of some rich
corporation. It is not necessary to point
out what the inevitable result OF this
state Of affairs must be. but the ques-
ton arises, is there no remedy? Here is
a field OF operations ready for the Voters
league. 1t Is white for the harvest. What
will they do about til

Wanton Destruction of Native Flowers.
To the Editor Of The Journal.
want to enter my most earnest pro-
test against the wanton destruction Of
our beautiful native flowers. We all love
flowers and we ought to use our best en-
deayors to protect and perpetuate them.
It makes me feel very sad to see what
destruction Is being carried on by many
Of our people, and II this thing continues
1t will not be many years before many Of
our most beautiful wild flowers have be-
come extinct. T wish could impress it
upon the old as well as the young that
for the love of their friends and those
that are to come after them, they should
not pluck every bright flower their eyes
fall upon. Do beg Of you. leave some
that they may mature their seed and thus
help to continue the species. For a sam
pie Of this wholesale vandalizing often
see on the streets boys and men, too,
with large punches Of pond lilies and lady
slippers. I admit that they are beauti-
full and very attractive and it is hard to
keep ones hands off of them and we may
be excused for taking few Of them. But
what almost brought tears to my eyes
was when I saw a young man yesterday
with should think over thousand Of
the beautiful pink and white ladyslip-
pers. That young man took all In sight
and If there are not a few belated flow
ers that will mature seed-the place
where he got them will be void OF slip
pers and the young lady will have to go
barefooted next summer.
Come now, boys and girls, please do
not take all in sight. I do not think it
would be amiss to have law prohibiting
the sale of the pond lily and ladyslipper.
do not want them to become extinct from
the waters and marsh borders Of the most
beautiful state in the union.

Miles and the Prohibitionists.

General Miles INDUCED in an inter
esting filtration with the prohibitions
lists, and led some Of them to believe

Ing with vital questions other than
prohibition, while including that, Of
course, he might be induced to ac-

Wool1ey told his fellow prohibition
lists that there was no doubt they
could poll q million votes for the vet
eran Indian fighter, as "the demo-
cratic party Is going back to dust
and the republican party is committed
to moneyism and militarism, and now
is the chance to shed our swaddling-

is concerned, the first platform the
party put forth, in 1872, had q "broad''
tendency, as, in addition to the de-
1nand for the prohibition of the man
ufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors. they demanded cheap postage
and cheaper transportation rates by
river and rail and lake, and cheaper
telegraphic charges, encouragement
to foreign immigration, and, with fine
chivalry strongly demanded equal
suffrage for women. In 1875 they
added to the former demands Iegisla-
ton against lotteries, abolition OF
polygan1y, compulsory education, use
OF the Bible in the public schools, In
ternational arbitration and paper

the party made about the same de-
nands as formerly in their platform

Some Preconvention Estimates

The Pioneer Press this morning
plumes itself on the fact that it
guessed rather near to the total Dunn
vote in yesterdays convention and
prints Its own figures Of last Tuesday
alongside Of those of r h urna |
to show how well it guessed. A few
minutes comparison of the table
shows beyond question that it was
guesswork. On fifty two counties the
figures Of T h 9 urnal, the Pio-
neer and the convention vote agree. On
twenty-four counties where there were
differences
TIL Q Journal had 12-right and
IL wrong.
The Pioneer had right and 10
wrong.
These figures were printed on Tues
day before the county conventions had
been held and were based on incom-
plete primary returns. On Wednes-
day T h g ourn a Is record on the
twenty-four counties mentioned was
nineteen right and five wrong. OF
these latter several were only off one
vote. On Wednesday T h J o urn q |
gave Dunn 556 votes. The conven-
ton gave him seventeen contested
votes and he secured by political
trades twenty-five that had been
placed in the doubtful column. The
clambering onto the bandwagon Of
scattering, unattached delegates from
other counties accounts for the
other twenty-seyen votes that
were in the Dunn column on
the final roundup. Before that
vote was taken it was known
to a certainty, since Hennepin could
not vote, that the Hennepin Collins
delegation would be unseated and the
trimmers and trading delegations had
no hesitation in climbing onto the bus.
It is thus apparent that T he Jour
ma Is figures were as accurate
as it was possible to secure before the
lconvention assembled. The Pioneer
Press, on the other hand, claimed
everything, and while its figures, tax
en- county by county, were grossly
inaccurate, it's total guess happened to
| be close to the mark.

The Republican State Platform

The republican platform adopted
Friday Is an Improvement as to Its
tariff plank over the platform adopted
in this city two months ago. During
the interval the national convention
has defined republican principles and
we not only have now an Endorsement
Of its protection plank with a refer
ence of the whole matter to the presi-
dent and congress, but a declaration
In favor of the reciprocity Of McKin-
ley and Blaine That is a different
brand Of reciprocity from, that pro-
posed by the previous platform and
the only one deserving the name.
Yesterdays platform is good state
ment Of republican principles. It
hasn't much to say about state issues,
except to give the present administra-
ton an unqualified Endorsement for
doing something which the man
nominated yesterday, If he had been
governor, would not have done; to
favor the eight-hour law; to call for
the union label wherever practicable.
which may mean more8or less accord
ing to circumstances; to urge the
board of control to patronize home
markets; to demand equal taxation,
and recommend state aid in the con-
struction Of principal highways.
A high tribute is paid to President
Roosevelt, and his nomination is en-
Enthusiastically ratified. The repub-
lican members Of the Minnesota dele
cation in congress are commended and
Senator Clapp is indorsed for re-elec-
ton ton. State issues are not dealt with
in much variety or extent, but under
the circumstances this probably could
hardly be expected. Some that have
been omitted by the republicans will
doubtless be given more prominence
by the democrats when their turn

II h g rnal has opposed this

This volume bears the title ",The Coloni-
cation Of the Middle States and is from
the pen Of F. R. Jones. PhD., of the fac
ulty Of Bryn Mawr college. DR.. Jones
states his object in the volume as fol-
lows:
The object Of the present narrative is to show
first. that the middle colonies possessed impor-
tant characteristics and interests in common. For
ether part Of the English colonial possessions in
North America, place Of refuge for the OPP
pressed of all lands and creeds, and nothing is
moro characteristic of them during the period
under consideration than the general liberation
of the religious beliefs Of ali classes This
policy entailed furthermore, the serious prob
lem Of assimilating population Of many nation
alities. To work this conglomerate mass into
form fit for incorporation into the prospective
nation was task different from that OF any
other section. Secondly, on account of these
common characteristics and interests, and on ac-
count of the fact that the colonies were con-
stantly brought into contact with one another
thru their many boundary disputes, they present
territorial and political unity that admits of
special and independent study.
The narrative covers the early Dutch
and Swedish settlements, Lord Baltirn ore s

the growth Of the aristocratic colony Of
New York, the growth Of the Quaker COM
monwealth, the development of Maryland,
the French and Indian war and the as
sumption Of parliamentary control, bring
ing the story Of the middle states down to
the repeal Of the stamp act and the pass
age of the declaratory act. 1t will be
seen from this that the book makes q
strong appeal to those who take pride in
the nations growth, as well to the stu
dent of history. The volume is in every
way equal in makeup to the three that
have preceded it.. In portraits, maps and
text it leaves nothing to be desired in a
work of it's scope. 1t will serve to con-
vince any who have been doubtful, IL
| there have been such, that the history is
coming fully UP to, if it is not SURPRISING,
