a SCATHNG ARRAIGNMENT.

y Il n
Every loyal republican in the state
will heartily approve OF this ,s,cathing
arraignment of bushwhacking republi-
cans which appeared in the editorial
columns of the Duluth News Tribune
under the caption of Republican
Ishmaelites"
The story of Hagar always appeals
to human sympathy. But history
proved the necessity of Abraham s
seeming cruelty, and that as usual the
intuition of the woman in the protec-
tion of her own son was correct.
Ishmael showed as youngster his
hostility to Isaac, and he grew to be
"a man whose hand was against all
men and all mems hands against
him." His descendants are still
roaming the deserts untamable.
vengeful and uncivilized, while the
Jews became the greatest people in the
worlds history and persist to this
day powerful in every land, distinct
and unde6led race. They rid them
selves of the Ishmaelites without quib-
bling as to proprieties or listening to
the wailing of this half-bluod pre-
tender, who would have ruled them or
kept them in endless turmoil.
The trouble with the republican
party of Minnesota is that it is cursed
by lot of Ishmaelites who, because
they cannot rl1le it, devote their time
to stirring up trouble. They are only
half-bloods at best, born of the SER
wants of the party, who from time to
time have been exalted to places of
authority.
These men will always have their
hand against those who form the
majority, who are republicans in
principle, not pretense, and who sacri.
fee their own interests for the com.
mon good without claiming an exor.
bitant reward for stacking their
spears. In every campaign these
Ishmaelites have to be bargained
with, dallied, coaxed and in one way
or another, with Office, power or
money, bought. They have no party
loyalty, yet they claim to be custo.
dians extraordinary of the party con.
science while traf6cking to maintain
themselves in control of the party
swag. With their hands to the elbows
in greed they are always crying
"Stop thief" They seek to hide their
own unscrupulousness behind shield
of mock Righteousness.
They seek to kill off everyone they
cannot dominate by pouring out a
deluge of accusation, insinuation and
condemnation. The man who would
enter the field without bearing their
trademark and wearing their collar
knows what he must face and frequent.
ly refuses to become a target for such
villification. No mans character is
safe from them and no reputation is
proof against their ISLANDERS.
The sooner the republican party
drives these Jshmaelites into the
desert of political barrenness the
sooner it will be able to form a
dependable, loyal, honest organiza.
tion. This never can be done until
they are driven out, and so long as
they are recognized in any sense as
republicans, so long the party will
remain an unorganized mob without
fixed principles, without leadership,
without any fighting force and a
| victim of it's own sentimental yielding
to it's half-breed bushwhackers.

n BUNCOMBE FACTORY..

The Minneapolis Journal is not
happy; it never is. It's temper out
runs its sense of justice, and it never
had the saving grace of a sense of
humor. Having been one of the
papers which paraded in flaming
headlines the $4,000 timber suit
recently settled for 5000, it resents
calling it's campaign on the subject
"buncombe.
''It is rather late in the day to-"
it says, "accuse men of indulging in
political buncombe because thew are
trying to enforce the laws and collect
money for property belonging to the
school children of the state. Probably
the $28,000 already collected on this
account is also 'buncombe, as we'll as
twenty three cases still pending in the
courts and involving 100000 more. E"
Right you are; it is all buncombe
and nothing else. After over four
years of scraping the records by polit-
ical enemies, and after three years of
law suits by hostile attorney general,
$28, 900 seems to be the sum of the COL
lections. The 100000 will probably
result the same way if the suits are
ever seriously pressed.
Yet the auditors Office during: Mr..
Dunn's and Mr.. VERSIONS administra-
tion, and both have been under the
Journals fire, closed transactions in.
volving millions of dollars, and
according to the Journal something
like million dollars were to be COL
lected which it charged had slipped
through their fingers. e.
The result proves that it, was all
pure buncombe and that the auditors
Office would have gotten more cash at
less cost to the state if it had been left
to conduct the negotiations. But it
was necessary for political purposes
to kick up muss and the muss was
all that has resulted. >.
It was all buncombe just as is the
"harmony" item in this issue of the
Journal, which says that Mr.. Dunn
recently had an interview with Mr..
William E. Lee of Long Prairie, add
ing that it twas unquestionably for
the purpose of swinging Lee in line
for Jacobson, or else making a candi-
date of him. One surmise is that sup
port was offered to him as candidate
for the senate when Senator: Nelson
retires.''
In fact, without buncombe be5 the
Journal would have to cease publica-
tion. Just now it is supporting g Mr..
E. A. Young for governor, yet it was
but few years ago that it was pub
fishing pages of attacks upon him in
which he was called anything but an
honest man.
Either it is stultifying itself now or
that stuff also was buncombe. 1t
would probably have supported Mr..
Dunn had he been sufficiently pliable,
and will support any one it believes it
can dominate and no one who stands
independent of it's dictation. Its
whole career has been spent in feeding
the people buncombe with a vindic-
tiveness born of journalistic dis
honesty and selfshness born OF
egomania. a.-Duluth News Tribune.

Not Fair Play.
The supreme courts decision that
man can be discharged by his employ
er because of membership in a labor
union is not decision in accordance
with fair play. It is the third of a "
series of decisions squarely opposed
to organized labor, and if the unions
are forced into politics, as their BROTH
ers were in England, the decisions
will have been the moving cause

The Harmony Road.
Bob Dunn has pointed out the har-
mony road to the republicans of Min
nesota. It is good straight high
way, and leads to victory. Given the
nomination by acclamation jacobson
would be elected, and Minnesota
would have a governor who would
be a power for the best interests of the
people. What's the use of scrapping
when you can win success by good
nature and we'll directed cooperation?

Young's Mouthpiece RebuLed
The Appleton Press says that
r. c. Dunn made a trip to Duluth and
then came out for Jacobson, intimat-
ing that republicans up this way,
Jumped as a job lot of "lumber and
iron barons," are willing to do any
thing to beat Young. And the Press
man advises "Jake" to cut loose.
What the editor really wants the Lac
qui Parle man to do is to cut out and
leave the field to Mr.. Young, which
is highly commendable and neigh
borly suggestion. The chances are,
however, that Mr.. Jacobson will do
the best he can, and that he will
appreciate the best efforts of r. G.
Dunn to help him. Mr.. Jacobson and
Mr.. Dunn have been friends for years
and have fought side by side to pro-
tect the peoples rights in many hot
ly contested battle, Jacobson in the
legislature and Dunn in the auditors
office.-News and Comment, News

a maximum and minimum tariff law
1t is going to be the most popular
idea known to tariff discussion in this
country for half century. II is going
to meet the approval of people who
differ widely in their views of the tar.
IN as an abstract question. And,
naturally 1t is therefore going to fur.
uish the common ground upon which
those within the republican party IT.
self who disagree on the details of
the tariff can meet and be satisfied
The maximum and minimum prin.
ciple adopted now by nearly all the
great commercial nations. consists in
the establishment by law of two en-.
tirely different rates Of duty on all
the articles entering into inter.
national trade. One schedule consists
of rates that we would call high: rates
in effect as high, or in some cases even
higher, than those prescribed by the
Dingley law. This is the actual tariff
OF the country. Then there is an.
other schedule whose rates are from
twenty-five to fifty per cent lower than
these; and these rates are offered only
to the countries that give a similar
tariff rate to our exports. We have
thus a means of dealing with tariff
determinations by others, and a near S
of fostering our trade. We have
tariff reduction where it will do the
most good and tariff wall where 1t
will shut out the products of nations
unfriendly to us.
This system realizes the reciprocity
Idea favored by Blaine and Mckinley.
1t reduces our tariff rates as they should
be reduced. But it does not give away
for nothing the advantage which this
offers to our competitors. To secure
its privileges they must do equally
well by us. We can secure the benefit
of lowered duties at home by purchas-
ng for ourselves an entrance to MANY
markets now practically closed to us.
This is something the country can un.
derstand and something that it will
approve of by an almost unanimous
vote.

THE RIGHT KIND OF CAMPAIGN

THE RIGHT KIND OF CAMPAIGN.
The announcement heard with
Joy by every republican that Mr. Taft
will not go swinging around the
circle; that he will make a few
speeches on important matters in i'm
portant centers; and that for the rest
of the time he will remain quietly at
home, accessible to all who may wish
to visit or consult with him, and ex-
pressing freely his views on any sub
ject on which they may be solicited.
This is the only kind of campaign
that COMFORTS with the dignity OF the
office and the nation. A comparatively
unknown man may find it necessary to
make a tour of the country and let
the people see and hear him. But
such a man has no business with the
presidential nomination. The interests
| involved are too many and too vast
| to be confided to any but man OF
long and varied experience. Mr.. Taft
/
| is known from ocean to ocean. His
long and honorable public record is
an open book. He has for the last
few years, been required to visit
every part of the country and all its
outlying possessions in the discharge
of official duty There is no need for
him TO tour it again as a candidate
And the people will not care to see him
do it.
Nothing is to be gained by this
breathless running about and this end
less oratory. 1t provokes the hurrahs
of the unthinking multitudes, it fur
nishes an exciting spectacle, but II
does not win the votes of the quiet
steady, thinking millions without
whose support no man can win the
presidency. The campaign of 1885,
is the best proof of this. There was
one central issue, an issue which the
people little understood, yet on which
all depended. When Bryan was flying
about the country and making a RECORD
for speechifying, Mckinley was Sitting
quietly on his porch at Canton. l
looked and seemed dangerous to thos'
who Judge by the sensationalism o
the moment, but the count of ballot
told the tale.
There is such a thing asnational dig
nifty, and the people appreciate II
They know all they need to know
about Mr. Taft. He has nothing Il
conceal, nothing to explain, no pre-
lenses to put forward He will SHOW
us the right kind of campaign, for
great and thinking nation.

REDUCED TO AN ABsuRDITY.

Sometimes a practice that will not
yield to logic, although there is not a
word to be said in its behalf, gives way
to the patent absurdity that its con.
tinuance shows. And this, we hope, is
to be the fate of packing national con.
ventiOns with thousands of outsiders
and organizing demonstrations for or
against candidates according to the
preferences of those who control the
giving out of tickets and the other con
vention machinery. Surely the events
of the two conventions this year ought
to administer the death.blow to this
undesirable and now ridiculous Gus.
tom.
of the gentlemen who received these
so-called tributes this year that they
were demonstrated to be purely arti.
fetal. Both President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan are men about whom their
friends are wildly enthusiastic. The
name of either would produce a
response almost anywhere that men
were gathered together. We are not
comparing them in any respect, but
simply stating that each has the
power of evoking enthusiastic support
1t would surprise nobody and it would
be genuine if the reference 20 either
in any considerable assemblage of
men should be received with applause
prolonged for five or ten minutes
When we get beyond this, the purely
natural expression of feeling, the thing
becomes forced and worthless.
At the Chicago convention there was
applause continued forty-nine minutes
when the presidents name was men
toned. Everybody knows that few
men are physically able and none are
DESTROYS of keeping up racket for
that length of time. At the Denver
convention it was thought necessary
to Guido that performance, and the
confusion following the naming of
Bryan was prolonged for an hour and
half. OF course such demonstrations
are organized in advance, and are pos
sible only by having shouters work in
relays. This is no honor to anybody,
and is meaningless as tribute. Now
that it has become gortesque, maybe
the conventions will agree to cut it
out and become orderly bodies once
more.
