Surprise for Home People.

Those who wish to see the building
will be more than pleased. The mag
nifcent entrance on Fourth street will
be ready by encampment week and will
be pleasant surprise to Minneapolis
people as we'll as visitors. The stag
ing is being removed and will be
entirely out in q few days. The grand
marble lobby, rising full five floors,
with its beautifully carved balconies
and stairways and soft stained glass
windows, will be worth seeing. A few
portions Of the entrance on the ground
floor that cannot be finished will be
draped with bunting in honor Of the Wis
itors and will add rather than detract.
The imposing statue Of the "River
God" which win occupy the center Of
the lobby, will be in place and on view
for the first time. 49,.
The G.. A. r. memorial halls in the
center Of the courthouse quadrangle
will also be in use for the first time.
Tho not wholly completed, they are in
comfortable shape and will be available
for all sorts Of gatherings up to 1000
persons. The halls are light and roomy
and we'll ventilated and will be Of great
service during the reunion. The bronze
memorial tablets bearing the names of
the members Of the eleven Minnesota
regiments will not be in place as was
hoped. -. :

GRAND ARMY BOUQUETS

neapolis was a queen In the entertain
ment Of the 6. A. r. visitors last week.
The old soldier was looked after first,
and he was treated in a manner that
called forth unanimous praise for the
rapidly growing city from the veterans
present. Then the spectators and other
visitors were all cared for nicely, per-
fectly. Hotels and restaurants main

commodations and edibles, and this

Minneapolis citizens.

THE STRUGGLE IN NEBRASKA
Kansas City Star.

Nebraska has come out from under
the railroad yoke. In no other western
state has this yoke been so heavy. In no
other state has it seemed to be so Sc
.curely adjusted. But Nebraska has made
a long and successful fight. The people
yesterday nominated for governor a man
who has been vigorously and persistently
opposed to railway abuses and they
named for legislative election to the SEN
ate the attorney general of the state. q
young man whose rise and popularity
have been due entirely to his fight for
the peoples rights as opposed to the ar
rogant abuses of the railroads and the
trusts. Altho the republican party Is
practically certain to elect its ticket, the
democratic organization stands in oppo-
slt1on to railway abuses also and any
turn in its favor would not help the cor
porations.
The most significant detail of .yester-
days convention is the ignominious de-
feat OF Senator Willard, who was named
by railroad influence five years ago, and
was candidate of the same agencies in
this contest. He was not even second in
the race. The corporations, in both the
senatorial and gubernatorial fight scat
tered their forces in an effort to make
strong field against the peoples candf-
dates. But the strategy did not work
The people won. Nebraska republicans
have done what Kansas republicans
should have done, and what Kansas
democrats did do.

portunlty afforded farmers in this sec
ton to make quick shipments to mar
ket near enough to be reached in
few hours after shipment is made.
Ranch owners also contemplate increas-
ing and paying more attention to rails

neapolis market, is opened, he will
make all his shipments there.
HWith other conditions euual,o he
said, sit would be foolish to ship to

section Of the country, where we have
had to make such long shipments. -
F. B. Cannon said today that Mime.
apolis can look for all his shipments.
and added that the sooner the new
plant is established the better pleased
he will be. He said that he had spoken
Of the matter to other stock shippers

market. will have the effect of greatly
increasing the stockraising business
among the farmers. &C. H. Ware.

A Lost "Issue."

Both parties in Hennepin county hav'
ing pledged themselves: to municipal
ownership. it must follow that great
majority Of the people favor that policy,
yet there is no evidence that the "peo-
ple' have made any sign Of anxiety on
the subject. If they had taken the plat.
forms of the parties, seriously they
would now be seeing to it that candi-
dates for the council were quizzed on
their stand regarding the matter. Has
anyone heard Of such a question being
addressed to single candidate for
the council?
1t seems improbable that this city is
going to get municipal ownership auto
matically. Some one will have to father
the project. Some one will have to
produce plans and specifications fand

BRYAN'S RAILWAY ISSUE

Richmond Times Dispatc h-But how
the local lines are to be separated from
the trunk lines is left to the imagination
The whole scheme is one of bureaucra tic
Capitalization. He got this idea, he SAYS,
in Germany. It. is not likely, however.
that this imperialisticr German idea will
win many friends for Mr.. Bryan in the
south, even if the dark shadow Of the
jim Crow intrusion were not a necessary
consequence of his program.
Baltimore Sun-Such a plan seems to
be opposed to the traditions of the dem
ocratlc. party. AS an issue, to say the
least, 1t is born many years too soon
and even if carefully nursed in Mr.
Bryan's Incubator. is not likely to grow
Dig enough in our times to wear long
pants and be admitted to the political
arena: But its mere paternity may be
sufficient to cause Mr.. BRYAN and his
party considerable embarrassment in the
next two years.
Philadelphia Record-If by the concur
rent exercise Of all the executive, legis-
lative and judicial powers of the federal
government it cannot successfully regu-
late and control the railroads, how much
less is it likely to succeed by assuming
their ownership. How small are the
abuses Of corporate management Of the
railroads, real and alleged. in COMPARE
son with the dangers of so stupendous
an experiment.? ..... q.
Boston Herald-Unless the democratic
party is DESTROYS of another term of pro-
baton in the wilderness it will refuse to
take up this climax of centralization Mr.
Bryan reiterates his opposition to social
ism. but nothing could open the door SO
wide to the advance of that doctrine as
the adoption Of his policy of public own

Brooklyn Eagle-The disposition to

every newspaper in the greater city. He
came back with d large balance to his
credit in the political bank Nor would
it have been matter of much difficulty
for him to have increased his capital
Instead Of that. what has happened? Two
days ago there was harmony all

there was some assurance that the party
would present a united front, would go

PAlESTINE'S "ROOM"

British consular officers in their re-
ports on the Holy Land give evidence OF
prosperous conditions there The stimu-
JUS given to Palestine trade was in a
great measure due to plentiful rains and
GOOD cereal and orange crops. Since the
opening of the railway between Jaffa and
Jerusalem in 1892 the trade and COM
merce OF Palestine have continued to
make steady progress. Twenty years ago
the revenue Of the Jaffa custom house
was about $4,000. while last year it was
estimated at 100000
The exports and imports in 1905 to-
tailed $4,047,O00, an increase of s30S. 900.
M1iiet, luplnes. wheat and beans were
exported. Nearly 1000, 900 bushels Of
barley, worth about 100000, were ex-
ported from the GAIA district. The ex-
port of oranges increased 10 per cent,
amounting to s55S.00G New orange
groves have been planted about Jaffa.
Greater quantities Of watermelons were
also shipped, the value being S92 900. The
grape crop was very abundant. and there
was considerable activity displayed in
the wine industry in the Jewish colonies,
where the manufacture is largely for ex-
port. Wines and spirits went to Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to the value Of s22S. S26.
The Imports of Palestine last year
amounted to $2.25S,0 900. Hardware petro-
leum, cotton goods, sugar and building
materials, such as iron bars and girders
timber, and tiles and brick, show a
steady increase during the last five years
denotlng growing population both in
Jerusalem and Jaffa. The value of cot
ton goods imported last year was $780,
O0o' an Increase of 100000. These goods
come almost entirely from Manchester
put are largely imported via Beirut,
Syria, and therefore classed as imports
from Turkey
marked progress is noticed at Jaffa.
The population is increasing the trade
is sensibly developing. land is augment
ing In value, rents are higher. The banks
advance money against good securities
at the rate of per cent. against goods
at per cent, and against signatures at
8 per cent.
At GAIA the government proposes to
build sea jetty, which would give an
impetus to trade there, as at present
there is only an open roadstead. GAIA
has 100000 population. Beersheba is ris-
| ing In Importance. as it is the seat of
government of 10000 Bedouins in the
| district There is a carriage road being
made to Hebron from Beersheba. which
is also a~telegraph station.
The Jaffa Jerusalem railway earned
s171.OoO in 1904 of which 81 Der cent was
profit, the best since the railway was
opened. The number of passengers con-
veyed was 9,555 first class and SO. a21
second class. The carriage road be-
tween Jerusalem and Samaria is still in

slightly longer, road is also about to be

and will be finished in the course of e

Roosevelt. and: Bryan.

Roosevelt says Bryan, "has not
one atom of popularity that he does not
owe to the fact that he differs from the
party which he leads, and if he can be-
come as popular as he is by occasionally
doing something democratic, what would
be the popularity Of a president who
always is democraticg". ',l: -.
In this sentence Mr. Bryan either
innocently misreads the causes of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's popularity or pur-
posely misstates them. It is not true
that some Of the causes Of any presi-
dents popularity or unpopularity hinge
upon differences with his party. Presi-
dent Cleveland was popular with the
country because he differed with his
party about the ACCESSIBILITY Of putting
down riot and stopping the free coin
age Of silver. Events showed that Mr..
Cleveland was right on both those prop
ositions, but neither was In line with
the democracy Of William Jennings
Bryan. He was for free coinage of
silver once and it took him ten years
to cure himself. He is still for the
free riot without let or hindrance from
the courts, and it may take him ten
years to- get. cured of that. IF we apply
his sentence to President Cleveland we
might be tempted to ask, if he, Cleves
land, gained such popularity by oeca-
sionally doing something republican.
what would have been his popularity
if he always had been republican,
The above is on the assumption that
Mr.. Bryan really believes the president
is popular because he has recommended
to congress some things which were
mentioned in democratic platforms.
But Mr.. Bryan probably knows as well
as anyone else that the presidents pop
ularity rests upon the basis of, his
active, Intelligent and wise patriotism
which appeals alike to men Of all par
ties. It has been shown to be. not
merely. a wind patriotism, but one
which achieves results. His instru-
mentality in bringing to a close de-
structive war was applauded by the
whole world. It was not arepublican or
democratic, but an American act. His
insistence upon the settlement of the
transportation question was, neither re-
publican nor democratic, but again a
move for the people, and some Of Mr..
Bryan's nettled attitude toward the
president may besdue tos the fact that
Mr.. Roosevelt has put the railroad
question in such a shape that Mr..
Bryan s plea for government owner
ship falls on dull ears.
The president has shown himself
broad enough to take hold Of some ques-

improve about 1000 feet of the east river
bank on5 Nj olletz island below the rail
load. To this the city has now indisput-
able title, excepting perhaps some re-
quired legislation to gain, for a small
filed part thereof, the sanction of
the state or the United States govern
ment,, in whom the title to the river bed
rests. = , - T.:
II For, .trifling, expense this natural
beauty spot could be made a most beau
tiful parkway. This is the time to ac-
quire, while we can, grounds for parks,
not necessarily automobile parks. but
resting places. for the teeming thousands
in our city that pass their summer upon
or near these miles of river bank. As
this part of the city grows and becomes
desirable for residence, it is naturally en-
titled to pavilions, even tho not one-tenth
part as expensive as those built at Lake
Harriet or %Minnehaha = .: II.
For suggestion, say, one park at or
near as can be obtained, to the east end
of Plymouth avenue bridge, close to
Halls island one at the west end Of
Twentieth avenue N bridge; another at
either end of the Twenty-fifth avenue NE
bridge. At the ends of the bridges would
serve most of the residents upon each
side of the river.
Not only the good Of the city as a
whole, but especially that of the upper
part demands this. =.
I believe if the river front received the
little attention it should the desirability
Of residence in this part would be great
ly enhanced and values increased In pro-
portion. ,N 49, :.
This would be but tardy justice to this
part of the city. The first and third
wards alone have to pay this year over
$4,000 for park tax, and since the organ
ization of the park board in 1888, I don't
think it can be shown that $1,000 has
ever been laid out for or upon parks in
these wards. Frank G. Griswold.
