RAILROADS.
MILLERS WILL BE HEARD
THEIR RATE GRIEVANCE WILL
BE CONSIDERED BY TRUNK
LINE MEN JULY 20.

Telegraphic advices from the East
indicate a possible turn for the better
in the rate situation affecting the Min
neapolis flour millers. l.. T. famine,
secretary of the Millers' National fed
Grafton, has been in New York, labor
ing with the trunk line managers.
Charles Espenschied, the, st. Louis
miller, and president of the federation,
who has ben working with Mr.. Jamme,
advised the Minneapolis millers this
morning that they have been able to
bring sufficient pressure upon the rail-
roads to force a. change of attitude,
and that a, conference will be called
for Tuesday, July 26, at 10. am. The
inference is that the meeting will be
held in New York, altho the North
western millers would probably select
Chicago if 1t were left to them.
The wheat rate from Buffalo to New
York is named as the reason for the
conference call, but it is likely the
general subject Of rate discrimination
in favor Of wheat and the effect upon
Minneapolis mills will be gone over.
With the details as to the meeting
still lacking, the Minneapolis millers
have not yet decided upon a repre-
sentative, but it is thought likely thai
| c.. C. Bovey Of the Washburn-C Crosby
company will present the case for the
miIlers and that the other big loca
companies will send representatives
also.

CUMMINS ON
THE IOWA IDEA
Governor Defines His Pet Princi-
ple and Defends It as Basic
Republican Truth.
spscial to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, July 20.-Governor
Cummins. in addressing the Polk
county republican club last night, de-
in the light Of the republican national
convention platform. In the course Of
his address he said:
May at this point say a word that
is somewhat personal? During the
years that have been the object of so
much criticism, have not replied to-
my critics, believing that the course
right, and condemn me If I was wrong.
I want at this moment to say. of and
for the Iowa idea that it is simply the
name which an enterprising newspa-.
per writer attached to sentiment
which began with the birth of the re-
publican party and has been its con-
trolling motive during its whole ex-
istence, a sentiment which is just as
prevalent among the republicans of
other states as it is in the state of
Iowa. It has been much caricatured,
it has been held up to public scorn, it
has been buried fathoms deep accord
ing to the apostles of the opposition,
score OF times. And yet, sphinx-like
itsrises stronger than ever and today
it is the hope Of more people than. any
other political belief that ever found
it's way into the human heart.
'It is greatly misunderstood, be-.
cause it has been maliciously misrep-
resented and altho 1 cannot enter
upon an extended discussion of the
subject, + must be permitted to say
that the man, whether he be a republic
can or democrat, whether he be of
| high or low degree, whether ne writes
| it in a newspaper or speaks it to his
fellowmen, who s>ys that the idea is
proposition to abolish all protective
duties upon the products of the So
called trusts, who says that it is a
proposition for free trade with Can
ada, or with any other country on
earth, who says that is democratic,
or found in the democratic platform
/ is, to say the least, careless OF the
1 truth. If Intelligent, he is malicious.
| If ignorant, he is recommended to
| the sources Of knowledge which are
easy Of access.
| "The Iowa idea represents an I'M
derlying hostility to industrial mon
| opoly and it calls for the use of every
civil power of the government to pre-
/ vent or destroy it. 1t holds protecuon
4 to be the best and most efficient policy
that the government ever adopted for
the welfare of the people. but 1t holds
that times and conditions change, that
| times and conditions have changed,
since the tariff Lave of 1897 was en-
acted, and that it is the duty Of the
republican party to make the sched-
ules of it's tariff law harmonious with
/ the principles upon which they are
based and that this duty ought to be
performed at the earliest practicable
moment"

NEWS OF THE BOOK WORLD
Novel Dealing with standards of Moral
ity for Men and, Wornen--M aarten
Maarten's New Story "Dorothea" a
Study Of the influence Of European
civilization upon Character Picture
That Should Make Tor Social Purity.

Separate standards OF virtue for men
and women is the plea Of Something like
a half dozen chara cters In Maarten Maar-
tens Dorothea. Presumably it is the view
Of the author, for he does not attempt
to refute the argument Of the half dozen,
more or less, who. uphold it. The book
is not one, therefore that will meet the
approval Of -ribboners or social re-
formers OF any other badge, tho the
author might plead that he was simply
picturing the predominant view in Europe
and among Europeans.
Dorothea's mother died at Dorothea's
birth, leaving her in the, care Of two
maiden aunts and to herEthe considerable
fortune Of Dutch baroness. Dorothea
grows up in Brodryck innocent Of the
world and its evil ways. Her moral in
struction comes thru dear old Aunt Mary,
who. one day talking to Dorothea, now
approaching young Womanhood, Of mar
riage, tells her: ri; \.
Do not make an irretrieyable mistake. We
can make so few of those, and they last so
long No greater smisf can hefa! II
wcman than to marry man who does not love
her. For womans whole hfesis love: no .ndy
else matters. ...5.A woman can ,aiy marry once.
Never forget that. She. may have several hus-
bands; she can only marry once.

OUEAL & cos LUMBER
BURNS AT RHINELANDER

Rhinelander, Wis, July 20.-The
company, with 6, 100000 feet of lumber
belonging to j. H. Queal & Co., Min
neapolis, valued at 100000, and
thirty homes, valued at $4,000 in the
aggregate, were burned yesterday, the
fire lasting three hours.
The fire originated in the planting
mill and, famed by nigh wind, was
carried into the lumber yard 900 feet
distant, and the efforts of the hremen
to check it were of no avail, and II
burned itself out.
The mill property, valued at $4,000,
and lumber loss is fully covered by
insurance, but on many of the burned
homes little or no insurance vas car
ried. owing to the high rates caused
BY being located in the lumber dis
trict.

CUTTING RATES TO BOSTON
1@ --
War Will Make Trip to G. A. r.
Meeting Cheap.

The Central Passenger association
roads which last year complained OF
summer rates made by the Western
association roads, have started de-
moralization Of rates to the G. A. r..
encampment at Boston.
The differential lines, the Grand
Trunk, Nickel Plate and the Wabash,
have made a round trip rate Of $17.75
from Chicago. The Michigan Cen
trail and other short lines have fixed
the rate at S20.35, but the Central
has threatened to meet the $17.75
rate, Upon this move it Is expected
that the long lines will still claim their
$3.50 differential which will make
the low rate Of $15.15.
!. IF the; western roads make the bas-
ing rate from Minneapolis to Chicago
SO as predicted, twin city people can
go to Boston cheap. When the 500
breaks into the race for business
something will be doing, passenger
men apprehend.

1 DEMOCRATIC FORECAST
Synobsis ct Some CLose Figuring BY a Pabey u
Symbathies Are Nith Parker

is expected to be Influenced by New York
In 1902 it gave $4,000 for the republican
candidate for governor, and 1t will require
quite an overturning Of sentiment IN that
state to give 1t to the democrats. The
correspondent Of the Post makes an eff
fort therefore, to figure out the neces-
sary number Of votes without Indiana or
Connecticut, follows:
Group 5---New Jersey, IL; Delaware, 3;
California, 10; Colorado, 8; Nevada, 3;
Montana, 3; total, 36.
= It comedies California is by no means
probable because Of the canal proposition
and the interest Of the people Of California
In oriental trade, particularly the Philip
pines Colorado has been regarded as
safely republican until some doubt arose
because of the reign Of lawlessness In
the mining districts. Just how that Is
going to affect the result cannot yet be
intelligently calculated. The republican
majority in 1902 on the state ticket, was
1000. The three-vote states of Montana,
Nevada, Idaho and. Utah, all republican
except Nevada, are counted in this group.
But any one al all familiar with sentiment
in the western states expects none OF
them to desert Roosevelt for Parker.
Some democrats are sanguine enough to
include Illinois among the possibilities.
Illinois Is so generally republican, and the
democratic forces are SO badly torn up
as result of the Hearst campaign, that
there is no reason to expect any serious
disaffection there.
Any hopes based upon democratic sue
cess for the presidential ticket in Wis
consin are probably doomed to disap-
pointment. There is no doubt in the
minds of those who have been close OBJ
servers Of the situation in that state that
a satisfactory set Of conditions will finally
be arranged SO as not to affect the cleo
| toral ticket.
The correspondent Of the Post says: 81
study Of these groupings shows that the
democrats must put their best foot for
ward If they are to stand any chance OF
4 winning. 1t is only by lifting the cam
4 paign to a high plane, appealing to the
1 Independent vote of the country, that they
can hope to overcome the odds against
them at the start The Post expects
4 that the same class of people who sup
ported Mr. Cleveland in 1892 will now
line up, twelve years later, for Parker
| Undoubtedly new alignments are to be
expected in the present situation, but
as the correspondent Of the Post says
| with respect to the democratic cause, sit:
!. success today depends upon thoro ant
earnest work, convincing the country tina
the restored democracy means clear

REIGN OF TERROR
AT BONEsIEEL
Thugs Capture the Town and
Turn Pandemonium
Loose.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Bonesteel S. D., July 20.-All sto-
ries of frontier lawlessness have been
outdone in Bonesteel since Sunday,
when d1oting commenced at Sylvan
park. It has been growing steadily
worse every hour since, until a Yeri-
table reign Of terror has been precipl-
tated.
Chief of Police Melon was dis
charged on the score of economy, tho
some assert that it was really on ac-
count of his interference with the
delivery Of the special privileges sold
to the worst element by the city au-
thorities.
The so-called police who were left
duties, and were disarmed by rowing
mobs Of toughs, dubbed over the head
with their own revolyers and kicked
off the streets. No mans life is safe
for a moment, and there seems to be
no relief in prospect.
Governor Herried has been called
on for aid, but it is understood he re-
piled that the time of registration was
almost over and that the troops he
might send would not be needed by
the time they could be got to the scene
of trouble.
Chief Clerk McPhail when asked
If the government could not do some.
thing, replied that Uncle SAINT would
make no move as long as the govern
ment officers and government prop
erty were unmolested.
The people are clamoring for the
reinstatement Of Chief Melon.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-07-20

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post has been figuring
on election possibilities. He recognizes
the fact that what is known as the Par.
ker telegram has shifted the battle-ground
toward the east, and making New York
a. doubtful state has strengthened the
hopes of the democrats. He thinks that
West Virginia, torn by republican tlissen-
sions, and honored by the nomination of
Mr.. Davis for vice president is at least,
doubtful and. from his standpoint, prob
ably democratic. The race question. Is
also expected to cut some figure in West
Virginia, while in Maryland it will be
a matter of so much Importance as to
make that state probably democratic.
With the thirteen solid south states to
start with, casting 151 electoral votes,
and Maryland and West Virginia added
to them, Parker will have 16s of the 476
members of the electoral college. OF the
total electoral vote, 239 will be necessary
to elect. If the democrats We're to get
238, that would leave the same number to
the republicans and throw the election
into the house, where the republican ma
jority would settle it in Mr.. Roosevelt's
favor. Il 5.
1t will be necessary, therefore, for the
democrats to get seventy three more votes
than even SO good a democratic advocate
as the Post will venture to count upon as
reasonably certain. Assuming that thirty
nine OIL Cnem are TO De naQ from New
York. and that thirty-four more must
come from, some other source, the COR
respondent of the Post makes up different
possible groups, as follows:
Group one-New Jersey IL, Delaware 3,
Nevada 3, Montana 8, Indiana Is; making
Sc, two more than necessary, or 241 in the
electoral college.
Group two-Indiana Is, New Jersey -,
and Connecticut Z making an even "a.
| It. will be- noticed that Indiana figures
| in both these groups. The Post cor
respondent comedies, however. that In
diana is by no means probably demo
cratic There is a considerable disaf-
! fectedS democratic element in the state
while "a large migration Of negroes into
the cities will influence the republican
strength materially. The best that the
Post Is able to claim is that Parker has
a chance for an uphill fight. 1t then pro.
ceeds to make up other groups withou
/! Indiana at all.
Group three-New Jersey IL, Connects

Wise Counsels Prevail.

If the South st. Paul strikers abide
by the decision which they reached
at their meeting last night, they will
go far towards establishing them
selves in the good opinion of the
pubic. That meeting showed the
strikers at their best. After a day of
uncertainty and unrest and minor dis
turbances that seemed to give prom
Use of serious outbreaks later on, the
strikers, almost as one man, decided
to remove the BLOCKADE" and pre-
serve order until President Donnelly,
at Chicago, could be heard from. The
pendulum, after swinging all day
along the arc toward riot and posi-
BILE bloodshed, was, by the sturdy
manhood and courage Of one man.
George Willis, president Of the local
union, stopped and turned back to-.
ward law and order.
This voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of the
power in their hands means that the
strikers have won a moral victory of
vastly more significance than any VIC
tory that could have come thru the
use of force. A strike won by such
force is never permanently won. It
is only the right that is eternal.
Public sympathy Is not so quickly
responsive to the strike mandate as
it was some years ago, and every
union man knows why this is SO.
Every time labor takes the law into
it's own hands and rides roughshod
over friend and foe in a mad desire
to succeed, it loses some of it's power
to evoke public sympathy. Soon it
will be impossible Ito arouse public
| sympathy at all, no matter how just
the demand upon it, if riot and blood
shed, wilful.. destruction Of property
and unlawful infringement Of lega
rights, continue to be strike accom-.
paniments. At this time most right
thinking persons believe that the
cause Of the South St. Paul striker!
is just, and hope it will prevail. Thi:
1 good will on the part of the public
counts for so much that it would
seem the strikers cannot afford to bs
Indifferent to it, even from the Low
| point of view Of. policy. But las
nights meeting was not controlled b.
thoughts of policy. When the; "block
ade" was ordered removed, and Law
and order were enthroned, it was be
cause the strikers believed this wa
the right course of action. 1t is t
be hoped that this decision will no
be reversed, by any subsequent action
