The free seed distribution hum
bug, which has enabled congress
men for so many years to keep in
touch" with their rural constitu-
ents, is on again. An appropriation
having been made, the Agricultural
Department will again spend many
thousands Of dollars for seeds which
can better be supplied from reput-
able seed houses and they will be
sent out under congressional franks.
Why this ancient humbug is kept
up. no one knows, when a postal
savings bank, a parcels post, a
postal note currency and other
measures which would be a benefit
to the common classes are held
back for so many years?

UP GOES LID" STOCK.
Campaign for a Better St. Peter Was
| $3.50 Opened Auspiciously.


st. Peter, March 27.-Lid stock Jump
ed several points here last night. 1t
was the formal opening of the campaign
inaugurated by the Citizens league to
secure strict enforcement of the state
law as applied to the retail liquor traffic,
and Rev. Father Cleary of Minneapolis,
the first speaker ever brought to this
city for a municipal campaign, made a
powerful address.
His speech, "The saloon and Law En-
forcement," was departure from the
ordinary temperance talk 1t was calm
ly delivered and carried conviction.
In anticipation of his visit the Citi-
zens' league leased the ST. Peter. thea
tire and crowd filled the building to
overlooking. Officers of the league, with
w. II. Townsville, it's candidate for
mayor, and other influential members,
were seated ON the stage, and the presi-
dent, Rev. Father Carey, introduced the
celebrated Minneapolis priest. His ad
dress was a powerful arraignment of the
saloon.
Zone of the highest evidences of the
intelligence of this community" said he,
"is the demand for respect of law, dec
ency and protection of the people. In
this country of ours, where the people
make laws, there is absolutely no excuse
| for their transgression. If we encourage
disrespect for law and order and de-
cry all efforts to obtain reasonable regu-
lation of the liquor evil, we are indoors
| ing those who would disregard and defy
existing law and are stultifying our
selves.
every mayor when he is elected
takes an oath to enforce existing laws,
and the people have right to expect
that he will respect his OATH. We want
no half way measures.
prudence and discretion are needed
by every man holding public office, but
when they strive to enforce the Sunday
| law, the ii o'clock closing law and the
law prohibiting the sale of liquor to
minors, they should be encouraged. The
saloon never created the Sunday, never
respected the Sunday, but has always
sought to degrade and desecrate the
Sunday. r'7
Gin Minneapolis we have fastened
down the lid. No mans rights are in
fringed upon, the temptations to take
father away from his home and fam
lily are lessened and nearly everyone in
Minneapolis, with the possible exception
of the lawless and criminal classes, is
delighted with the conditions we are now
enjoying.
"And,' naively added the speaker,
seven st. Paul is delighted"

BREACH TWO YEARS OLD.
MeCleary Stepped in the Way Of Gill
bert Gutterson'S Advancement.

Gilbert Gutterson, who was in ST.
Paul yesterday, got blank affidavit,
and will doubtless fill it out with a
statement of his candidacy for congress
in the secand district. The way seems
ITO be clear for him as McCleary's OPP
ponent, and both Edgar Weaver and
Bert Miller are understood to have
promised him support. The breach be.
tween McCleary and Gutterson dates
back about two years. Gutterson has
been a sort of field manager for the con-
gresham, but being in good shape finan.
cially did not care anything about the
position of rural route inspector. An
opening came for promotion, and it is
claimed that McCleary blocked Gutter
sons appointment because he did not
want him taken away from the second
district. Gutterson heard of it and de-
cided that he felt under no further
obligations. The position is under civil
service now, and as soon as Gntterson's
announcement is made he will resign
from the postal service. He has made a
preliminary canvass of the district al
ready. it is understood Minneapolis

Charles r.. Aid Looks Over the Peat

GAINESVILLE, March 26.-Charles R. Aid,
secretary of the United States Peat
Fuel company, spent the past week in
the vicinity of GAINESVILLE and st. Pc
ter, securing samples of the peat in the
marshes. He has shipped nine boxes
of the samples to Chicago for inspection
and since the best samples and the
largest quantity were found in the large
marsh west of GAINESVILLE, it is believed
a factory will be built here. The pro-
posed plant will be erected at cost of
about $4,000 and will employ about
two hundred men. The stock has been
underwritten and part payment made
on the machinery. Those who profess
to know, say that from eight to twenty
feet of the material lies at the bot
tom of this large marsh, which was for
merly part of the bed of Lake Elysian

'infant" certainly ought to be able to
toddle about and depend upon, his own
stout legs for ample support to his well
filled body. The lumber trust needs
no further protection. That monster
has robbed the people long enough.
Something should be done now to relieve
them from the barons who for years
have had their feet in the trough. The
fact of the matter is those manufac-
tuners who are petitioning McCleary for
a reimbursement of the tariff schedules
are not afraid to try the plan. They are
not in the trust business, but are able
and willing to stand or fall on their own
merits, feeling assured that they can
prosper under careful revision of the
Dingley schedules.
Again we are reminded by "Sunny
JIM that ''they 1.-THE opponents) tell
us he 1--WE all know who he isl is
shelved and that his German tariff bill
has killed him and at the same time
tell us that commercial Berlin is asking
the importers of German goods to reach
for his scalp this fall" Surely it was
not the enemies of the congressman who
originated the story that the Germans
were going to scalp him. Not they
McCleary himself started that fairy tale
over the prairies of the second district
for the purpose of creating sympathy
in his own behalf. The people, however,
do not take any stock in the story be-
cause they are acquainted with the polit-
ical maneuvers of the willy manipulation
who is representing this section of the
state in congress.

KICK ON DRAINAGE.
Farmers Of Sibley County Complain
Against the Scheme.

A9dsuSt tue SCneWo.
st. Peter, March 26.-Farmers in the
ownship of Alfsborg, Sibley and Kelso
are making a determined fight against
the drainage of lands in the western
part of Sibley county into the Rush
river. They have pooled their interests
by forming an organization with +. w.
Kusske as president, and Ben jamin
Sehnackenberg, secretary, and at mass
meeting in 'GayIor they adopted pro-
test to be presented to the county com.
missioners.
They argue that the channel of the
river is none too large to carry the wat
er naturally flowing through it in wet
seasons, and if more is Diverted into the
stream it will overflow its banks and
cause great damage to the property.
If the construction of the bitches petit
toned for is permitted, they contend
that it will become necessary to dredge
the channel of the river George Boock,
county surveyor of Brown county, esti-
mated the cost of deepening and widen
ing the channel at $4,000.

Witness Arrested for Failing to Re-
spond to Subpoena.
From Mondays Daily.
A man named Downey was arrested
this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Os-
ten on an attachment issued by Judge
Cray at the last term of the district
court on the ground that he had failed
to obey subpoena and appear as wit
ness in the case of the State VS.. Ed.
ward Wilson, who was accused of the
theft of an overcoat. Downey was the
man who saw Wilson throw the coat in
to the wagon where it was subsequently
found. Wilson was convicted without
Downey's testimony, but the latter, IN
failing to appear, committed contempt
of court and is liable to fine or impris-
onment.
Downey will probably be taken be-
fore Judge Cray tomorrow to answer to
the charge He would have been arrested
before, but left the country.

Not a Democratic Organization.

"The Mankato Free Press copies a
two column article sent out by the Reel
procity league to show that McCleary is
wrong on the tariff. This league is a
democratic organization yet processes
to be non-partisan, to catch few votes
for free trade"
Heron Lake News, newspaper edited
by Carl Eastwood, who has always bow
mands of Representative McCleary, bet
ter known as car of the second dis
trict. This explanation ought to be suf-
fcient, but for fear that some deluded
mortals might be led to believe that
Carl penned truthful statement, this
newspaper will make the remark, in
cidentally, that one of the most promi-
nent men who is identified with the rec
iprocity movement is Governor. Cum
minis of Iowa, staunch party man who
has championed the cause of republi-
canism from his earliest manhood, and
one who was doing duty on the skirmish
line for the grand old party when Nc
Cleary was teaching free tradism. 1t
is one of the good signs OF the times
that such strong characters as Governor
Cummins are preaching the true Cos
pei of the republican party. He is one
of the men who have taken up the fight
in behalf of the people as against the
trusts and combines, those illegal COM
binations of capital that are sapping the
life-b blood from the people. All honor
to his kind. He is of the material that
Lincoln was made-the clay out of
which the common people are moulded.
His counterpart is found in Senator La
Toilette, who delivered speech in the
upper house recently and dashed to
pieces that Anticipated relic of the past
senatorial courtesy" They are men
who will not bend the knee to the
snobbish scions of wealth and no souless
corporation can dictate to them their
line of duty. They are making an hon
est fight for the masses and they will
achieve their mission if the tools of
the trusts and combines can be set aside
and men in sympathy with the public
demands are chosen in their stead, thus
forming solid phalan to give support
to those of the Cummins and La Fol-
lette stamp. Let such as Eastwood rave.
Those whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad.
The Reciprocity league is far from
being democratic organization. 1t is
founded upon the principle of Square
deal to every man." 1t has on it's mem
bership roll the names of men who were
engaged in building up the republican
party long before McCleary was ac-
auainted with the rules of a caucus. The
league is organized in a good cause and
its labors will not be in vain. The wall
of the henchmen of McCleary will not
stem the tide in favor of it's doctrine
nor can the frown of standpatter put
a stop to its good work.
