Senator knute Nelson.

Without dissenting vote among the
republican members of the Minnesota
legislature and with the Endorsement OF
n number of democrats of the two
Nelson was today elected to succeed
himself The compliment was well plac-
ed. Senator Nelson can feel proud OF
this extraordinary mark of appreciation,
coming so generously and with such a
kindly spirit from the members of a
party which he has long been trusted
leader and safe advisor.
1t can be truly said that Senator Mel
son stands closer to the people than
most any other man in public life in the
northwest. His every sympathy and
heart beat is for the common people.
This display of interest in their cause
is easy of explanation. He himself
sprung from the ranks of that great mid
die class which is such potent factor
in the settlement of affairs in this coun-
try His private and official record Is
one to be proud of. Coming to America
when but small boy, he was soon
thereafter thrown upon his own re-
sources He was compelled through a
combination of circumstances to make
his own way in the world, and besides
assist i'm the support of a widowed moth.
er. who is living to see her son crowned
with the wreaths of honor and so grace
fully presented with that certificate
which besPeaks the confidence that is
bestowed in him by the citizenship of
this mighty commonwealth.
Senator Nelson's record is one of
achievements. He has been the author
of much important national legislation,
and he had great deal to do with shap-
ing the measure which has placed the
railroads of the country under the more
immediate control of the government.
His attitude toward that bill was indoors
ed bv President Roosevelt in letter
written to General James III. Baker of
this city, and was a refutation of the
insinuatiOns of Senator Nelson's enc
mics that he was not true to the inter
ests of the public. Every act of Sena-
tor Nelson has been in line with the
best public policy, and his reward comes
in the shape of a nomination at the Du-
luth convention, the unanimous vote he
received in the republican caucus and the
united action of his own party repre-
sentatives on this day together with the
support of several of the opposing party;
and it is a distinction that has seldom
been accorded to a candidate for the up
per house of congress.
Throughout his career as a humble
citizen, a soldier in defense of his coun-
try, member of the Wisconsin assem-
lby, as congressman from this state,
later as governor, and for twelve years
as senator his course has been guided
by an impulse to perform his duty well
and with a conscientious regard for the
welfare of the people who have had rea-
son to trust him implicitly, thoroughly
impressed with the belief that he would
not betray them.
The Free Press takes this opportunity
to congratulate Senator Nelson on his
succession, and we have every reason to
believe that he will act for his constit
uents in the future in that same careful
and considerate manner he has in the
past-honesty, integrity, a ripe and ex-
perienced judgment governing him in his
responsible duties.

Van Amburq's Shows Tomorrow.

Not All of the many sides Of interest

the magnificent horses all day AS they

be surprised by the revelation of horse
sense. There are to bs counted with
the Van Amburg Shows almost 800
head of horses. and they are all beau

horses can find the car in which it
travels at night and can find it's proper
STALL In the morning when the train
is unloade ed it knows where to 60 and
where to stand 1t knows when its
cage or den is ready to be taken to the
ground; it sizes up the situation and
where it's load should be taken. The
horse will find its proper place IN the
big horse tents, and when the parade
is ready it knows where it should fall
in. These circus horses know as much
about the performance as do the people
with the show. 1t has been claimed,
and is probably true, that the ring and
performing horses know when they
will be needed in the ring, that they
can tell by the music of the band.
The circus horses know when to pull
and when to lay down; they know how
to stand up in moving car and they
know how to hurry in case Of a storm
They can do everything but talk.
The big shows give two perfOrman
ces here tomorrow Saturday after

For many years the soft coal roads

ing to increase the price of coal to the

legal. 1t was in direct violation of the
Sherman act, and TRIP all he could Mr..

act, evidently with view to kill it,
could not legislate out the clauses
covering this feature. But what good

enOrmity of their offending in this par
ticular has been presented to Mr.. Bo-
naparte the Attorney General, but the
impression Is that nothing will be
done. The government is so over
whelmned by the vastness;of the crimes
for which indictments have been
found that it Is doubted whether they
will pursue this crime any further.
The government is tired. 1t is indeed

CONFEDERATE REUNION.

The remarkable gathering of Con-
federate veterans at Richmond last
week as we'll as this, along with their
sons, daughters and Southern people
generally, typifies as nothing else can
their devotion to country and to prin-
ciple. No such gathering could have
been found In the North brought about
by the issues of the war. There they
gather of course when some monu
ment Is unveiled, where the bands
play and when there is some pageant
to be viewed, but the inspiration is
lacking, the spirit which causes old
men to hug each other, women to shed
tears, young men to cheer in wild en-
thuslasm as the deeds of their fathers
are told, and as they see the serried
legions of those who knew what war
was pass in review before them, are
not present up there. There was too
much of the substitute, the bounty
man and the mercenary Dntchman in
the rank of the Union army to bring
that organization near enough to the
people and inspire the populace with
enthusiasm. The statues to Northern
heroes are not The outpourings of love,
they are not built by individual contri-
buttons of the people, the government or
some municipality usually undertakes
these jobs, anu the public treasures
are drawn On. 1t is the boast of some
that the statue of Lincoln at Spring
field, Illinois, was built largely from
money contributed by manumitted
slaves. Ii so this is the first and last
of such statues. No manumitted slaves
pour out their means of late to honor
heroes, and would not have done SC
then had not the smart Yankees seen q
way to build a monument with some
body elses wealth. The great tomb tC
Gen. Grant in New York languisheC
and hung fire, and got burdensOmt
even in SO great city as that. and i
we are not mistaken was never finished
until Uncle Sam was appealed TO ant
the money lacking supplied from Lh'
National treasury. The statues ab0u
Washington of Sheridan, and Sherman
and other equally notable generals o
the war, are National contributions
but those being erected in the Soutf
are from the people whose hard earn
ings and widows mites have been lait
upon an altar of love. They WILL
honor their dead, they WILL cree
monuments to their heroes, becaus
they are their dead and their heroes
They were not hirelings, they were o
their own loins. If such gathering
had taken place in Russia it is possibl
it would have been dispersed witt
cannon and with the whips of Cos
sacks. 1t is wise in our government
that it let's us worship our heroes as t
us seems best, that is in our own fash
ion. 1t was love feast, this gather
ing. 1t may be the last large gather
ing of the kind, but it will leave it
impress forever on the hearts of tn
people of the South.

For over year the price of wheat
has been below the cost of production,
although it was protected by a tariff
tax of 25 cents a bushel. Now the
price has advanced 80 per cent. in con
sequence of the fear of short crop.
Do the Republicans claim the advance
is due to all all pervading Republican
prosperity produced by tariff protec
tion If so, hog do they explain the
low price of wheat that has prevailed

uAC oios bOpfs
Editor Spectator,
Dear Sir-In your last issue YOU
state that the Ring" and the corpO-
rations have turned Mr. Churchman
down as Speaker of the next House of
Delegates in Virginia. How can that
be when the Speaker is elected by the
next Representatives, and the people
have not yet said who they shall be
Is it AL admission that the machlne
ring is so complete IN pulling major
ity of the people in each county their
way that the edict has already gone
forth who our next Representatives
shall be II so, why not dispense with
the cost OF elections hereafter? What
was it that Mr.. Churchman did that
was such benefit to the people and
why should the corporations turn him
down.
Respectfully yours,
OLD FARMER.
Our friend, the "Old Farmer" of
course from his eyrie between the plow
handles cannot see that the Speakers
are elected before even the candidates
for the incoming Legislature are
named. Should he ever leave the field
for the sacred precincts of the State
house be may grow wise-he will GER
tainly see much that never occurred
to him while delvlng between the corn
rows. In this State everything pollti-
cal is arranged before hand. A Ring
to be ring must be ring, if not, It
had as well be bump on a log. The
corporations in this State dictate every
Speakership. They have done it for
years, they will do it again. they have
picked their man. Elections, in so far
as they rule the selection of certain
officers, are mere farces. When one
session of the Legislature ends the
wise men arrange for the next, and the
slate is made up. From chat time on
things are perfected, Strengthened, put
in form, until our solOns meet, and
when this occurs in less than one hour
the slate is hung on the wall, and
those who went there thinking they
were going to have some hand in the
elections find they have not so much az
been consulted. The LEADERS have
promised those east of the Blue
Ridge Normal School. the Southwest
is to get certain candidates in some
future elections. and tine old Clerk Of
the Senate is to be retained. The

Piedmont gets some concessions, but

whole pie at one or two gulps and th'
