but will mike some unsolicited re-
marks Of the remarkable career Of q.
r. Sinkler, the single handed and
lone republican candidate for con-
gress from North Dakota.
The subject Of our sketch was born
in Fertile township one bright morn
ing in June about school time. 1t
was a great day at the farm and
what neighbors and friends didn't
drop in during the day got there at
night, and the kitchen stove was
worked overtime baking birthday
cake and other plumber to celebrate
the occasion. Ed watched the pro-
ceedings and announced his policy,
and before night made several
Fourth of July orations and recited
the Declaration of independence, in
the presence OF his immediate rela-
tives. u FaFgsM
He grew up rapid and fast and soon
the trundle bed was stored In the
granary and he was allowed to sleep
with the hired man who got over
when he was told to. He went to
the Fertile school and was at the head
OF the A class before he had soiled
his books or the school house was
locked up for vacation. His father,
noticing his broad shoulders at the
breakfast table one morning, called
Kim out to the woodshed and point
ing out some garden tools, gave him
four acres Of land and told him to
get busy on his own account. Ed,
who was captain Of the Fertile base

as fine ball diamond as could be
seen in three days ride on the cars
with the windows up on both sides.
In this work he was ably assisted by

team. Eds father was at town at
the time buying seed for his sons
garden and Ed took it back next day
and traded it for a base ball mask
and a catcher's glove, and his father
umpired the game and gave him fifty
cents for knocking the ball over the
horse barn into the river, bringing
in two runs and winning the game.
As soon as he secured his Grafton
high school diploma he climbed st.
Olaf hill at Northfield, Mimi, after
higher education. The professor
took great pride in pointing him out
as the leader Of the band Of studious
students until he was caught one
night repainting the face Of the clock
in the chapel; which untimely proce-
dure somewhat blunted the profess
sor's point. He entered politics at

threw the ball in the river and let in
Carleton run in a tight game be-
tween the two schools. Mr.. Heatwole
is now running for governor of Min
nesota and Sinkler for congress, and
both are hurrying to score.
From st. Olaf he went to Chicago,
where he took law course and
speared fish in the lake. When the
time came he was entered in the big
Northwestern debate and won the first
prize, which he examined with acid
and found was gold. During the va

noise caused by the register Of deeds

he is cutting wide swath up and

Our Banking System.
The republican party is not indif-
| ferent to the necessity of comprehen-
sive revision of our monetary and
banking system, and to that end the
congress just closed authorized the
llcreation of a monetary commission,
composed of Is members OF. the two
houses of congress, clothed with pow.
er to inquire into the report to con-
gress at the earliest date practicable
what changes are necessary or desir-
| able in the monetary system of the
| United States or in the laws relating
to banking and currency, and for this
purpose they are authorized to sit dur

at such times and places as they may
deem desirable, to send for persons
and papers, to administer oaths, to
summon and compel the attendance
of witnesses, experts, and other as.

out the purpose for which said com

such investigations and examinations
in this or other countries Of the sub.

they shall deem necessary.
The work of this convention will
be concluded The platform will voice
the dominant thought of the people
and the candidates nominated must
stand upon it firm and erect. They
must have the patriotism and sagac
ity of a Lincoln, the tenacity Of a
Grant, the wisdom and moderation OF
a Mckinley, and the courage of a
Roosevelt. With such a platform and
such candidates the issue cannot be
in doubt. The republican party con
ddently submits its record to the ap
proving judgment of the American
people and, upon its renewed declara
ton of faith, inyokes continuance Of
public favor.

of Electricity.")
Thruout the greater part Of space
we find simple unmodified ether, elas-
tic and massive, squirming and quiv-
ering with energy, but stationary as a
whole. Here and there, however, we
find specks of electrified ether, isolated
vet connected together by fields OF
force. and in state Of violent locomo-
ton. These "specks" are what, in the
form of prodigious aggregates, we
know as "matter," and the greater
number of sensible phenomena, such
as viscosity, heat, sound. electric con-
duction, absorption and emission OF
light belong to these differentiated or
individualized and dissociated or elec-
trified specks, which are either ny1ng
alone or are revolving with orbital mo-
tion in groups. The matter" SO con-
stituted-built up or these Well-sep-
arated particles, with interstices enor-
nous in proportion to the size OF the
specks-must be an excessively porous
or gossamer-like structure, like COD
web, a milky way or comets tai; !;
and the inertia of matter-that Is, the
cobbined inertia of a group Of eleetri-
fled ether particles-must be a mere
residual fraction of the mass of the
main bulk Of undifferential continuous
fluid occupying the same space; "
which. fluid the particles are hypo-
rhetically composed, and in which they
freely move.

FREIGHT RAISE DEFENDED

More Than Twenty Roads Answer
Texas Rail Commissions Complaint.
Chicago, Sept. 4.--More than score
Of the railroads named as defendants
in the recent complaint of the Texas
railroad commission against the In
crease in freight rates put into effect
on Aug 10 have filed their answers
with the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Sixty-seven southwestern railroads
and other carriers were named in the
complaint, which alleged not only that
the rates were unreasonable, but that
their PRONUNCIATION by the southwest
ern tariff committee was conspiracy
in restraint of trade.
The roads that thus far have filed
answers, according to a Chicago attor-
ney Of the companies involved, deny
that the advances are unreasonable.
