PRINCETON UNION. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. TSttl^S, $2.00 Per "STear. DUNN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR Office: First St., East of Court House. PRINCETON, MINN., JUNE 7, 1894. PRINCETON schools. is proud of its public MILLE LACS county has doubled its population in the past two years and new comers are arriving daily. TOM REED is a down-east Yan kee imbued with western idea*. There is nothing the matter with Tom Reed. HE tariff tinkers in congress are making the entire country ex ceedingly tired. The compromise measure will be a thing of patches and shreds. AN Anoka friend sends us a postal card with the following couplet from Scott's "Lady of the Lake" inscribed thereon: Who spills the foremost foemnn's life His purty conquers in the strife MONTEVIDEO Leader: Fairmont will celebrate the Fouith and Frank Day has been appointed as a committee on Cannon. Very appropriate. Frank is something of a gun himself, and generally loaded. A FARMERS' institute is to be held in Brainerd on the 16th inst., and every farmer in Crow Wing county should attend it. Several institutes have been held in Prince ton and they have proved of last ing benefit to the farmers of this vicinity. THE treasonable utterances of the Rev. R. C. Cave at the unveiling and dedication of the monument to the private soldiers of the Confed eracy at Richmond, Va., on theport, 30th ult., are universally con demned by the press of the coun try. The Rev. Cave is a windy but harmless lunatic. ANOTHER law affecting corpora tions enacted at the last session of the legislature has been decided Constitutional by the supreme court, andrailioad passenger trains are now required to stop at county seatb. Wonder if Representative Andeison lemembers how he sestroy emed the vote necessaiy to secure its passage through the house? MRS. L. W. COLLINS, wife of Judge Collins, died at her home in St Cloud last Thursday. Mrs. Collins was an estimable lady and was beloved by the people of St. Cloud and her death has plunged the whole city in grief. The peo ple of Princeton, to many of whom the deceased lady was known per sonally, sympathize with the judge and his family in the dire affliction that has befallen them. HE three first counties in State to elect delegates to the Re publican State convention have de clared in unmistakable terms in favor of the editor of the UNION for State Auditor. It takes more than one swallow to make a sum mer. But we would rather have the indorsement of the home coun tiesthe counties where we are personally known to a majority of the votersand be defeated, than be nominated and have them against us. To our loyal friends in Crow Wing, Anoka and Mille Lacs counties we return our most sincere thanks. MINNEAPOLIS Penny Press: The story published by Ignatius Don nelly in the Representative and re published in last night's Penny Press that an ex-State auditor had obtained $250,000 for land origin ally owned by the State, should receive immediate official investi gation. There are many things connected with the Mesaba land leases which would bear inquiry at the same time. A searchlight that will go to the bottom of things is wanted and would be of excellent service to the State financially and otherwise. There has hitherto been too much secrecy in State boards and State officers. WASHINGTON* LETTER. From the Union's Special Correspondent "WASHINGTON, D. June 4. The publication of the interview with Ex-Speaker Reed in England, in which he takes decided grounds in favor of silver has been one ofnot the most important events of the past ten days. Reed is not outgenerally for silver like the miners of the mountains, or the Populists who favor silver because they think it is a stepping stone to fiat money, but he believes in a great con federation of silver using coun tries, if Great Britain will not agree to international bimetallism. Senator Washburn said the proposition suited him and he beBriggs lieved in it. It was time for this country to take steps to form a league with other nations and byto tariff rates and currency laws go along independent of England and provide for the silver of this coun try. But silver cannot be restored under the Democratic policy of setting the tide of trade against us and draining the country of gold, The prospects are that the next campaign will be fought on theT. lines of silver and protection. Many Republicans believe that it is a combination that cannot be defeated. One thing is certain, the Republicans of the senate will vote for more reasonable silver legislation than ever before, and the same is true of most of the Re publicans of the house. Reed's interview means that he is going to make his presidential campaign upon the platform of restoring sil ver to its full money functions. Those who know Cush Davis in Minnesota would not suppose that he would be in favor of a secret investigation, such as is now going on about the sugar scandal. But Senator Davis is intensely scru pulous in anything regarding the senate and has the reputation of being very secretive. The committee may not bo rethe but it will appear beyond question that the sugar trust dic tated the sugar tariff of the pres ent bill. But what of that every trust got everything it wanted in the bill. The logical candidate of the Democratic party for president is Mills. It is true that he was a confederate soldier, but that is better than a northern doughface. He represents the only tenable position of those who would de the tariff. If I were to be a Democrat I would be a Mills Democrat. McCleary is keeping straight to the mark and making a good rep resentative. His acquaintance in the house and with its business is fitting him for a successful mem ber. Boen has not been able to get himself before the public lately the Populist lawyers only figure in the Coxey rescuers now. For a man who does not care to come back to congress%Fletcher thedoing is a fair share of hustling. And I am told that Kiefer may think better of it and make the race. ARTHUR W. DUNN. Wright County Pleased. The people of Wright county, so far as we can learn, are well pleased with the action^of the con gressional committee in appointing Brainerd as the place for holding the next congressional convention. It is deemed wise to take it away from the scene of strife and from the ^influences which are apt to be at work in the city of Duluth. What we want is the man who is the choice of the people of the whole district and not a man to represent the interests of one particular corner of the district. Delano Eagle. C. H. Mero, general agent of the National Benevolent Associa tion, was in town from Friday un til Tuesday afternoon on business connected with the association. The association gives life insurance at actual cost. On Jan 1st, 1894, the insurance in force amounted to $15,913,250 there had been paid to policy holders $550,000 and there was a guarantee fund on hand of $150,000. This is a splen did showing for a company in corporated only seven years ago. Mr. Guy Ewing is the local agent of the association and is writing policies every day. Remember the C. E. conven tion, Friday, Saturday and Sun'y. Republican County Convention. Pursuant to notice the Republi can county convention, to elect delegates to the State and con gressional conventions, was held in the village hall Tuesday after noon. Several of the towns were represented, not from any lack of interest but because it was understood that the dele gates to both conventions would be selected with the view of pro moting the candidacy of the editor of this paper for State auditor, and there was no opposition what ever from any source. The con vention was called to order by E. N. Bacon, of Foreston, chairman of the county committee. On motion, Mr. Bacon was elected temporary chairman, and L. S. secretary. The credentials were handed in, and the following gentlemen were declared entitled seats in the convention. MiloH. R. Mallette, M. S. Cone and E N. Bacon Borgholm G. J. Ross, E. L. Anderson and August Swanson South Harbor A. S. Anderson and E. W. Case MilacaL. Baxter, D. McCuaig, A. Townsend and C. M. Cosgrove PrincetonJ. T. D. Sadley, N. A. Ross, C. H. Rines,* I. C. Pat terson, H. Newbert, L. S. Brings, H. Caley and R. C. Dunn. Letters were received from Rob bins and Isle Harbor to the effect that the voters of those towns, irrespective of party, were in favor of any delegates that Bob Dunn wanted. The temporary organization was made permanent. On motion of Mr. Sadley, R. C. Dunn was unanimously elected to head the delegation to the State convention and was requested to select his as sociates, to be approved by the convention. The following dele gates were chosen: R. C. Dunn, C. H. Rines, T. H. Caley, J. T. D. Sadley, E. N. Bacon, J. L. Brady and R. F. McClellan. Delegates to congressional con vention: L. S. Briggs, H. R. Mallette, A. Townsend, D. H. Robbins, Henry Newbert and R. C. Dunn. We desire to thank the conven tion for its courtesy in permitting writer to choose the delegates to the State convention. It was a compliment which is appreciated. Hon. W. M. Campbell, chair man of the Chippewa Indian com mission, accompanied by Indian inspector Col. Paul F. Faison, re cently visited the Mille Lacs In dians, and gave them plainly to understand that they must remove to White Earth. The younger In dians appear to be willing to go, but the old men are loath to leave Mille Lacs lake. The white set tlers are at Mille Lacs to stay. The Indians ceded their title to the land long ago. The government has made ample provision for theI care and sustenance of these In dians at White Earth, and the sooner they go there the better it will be for themselves and all con cerned. Mr. Campbell and his associates are doing everything possible to hasten the removal of the Indians, and the settlers should exercise considerable patience., Farmers, remember that the Princeton fair this year will be held in September, and that big premiums will be offered for live stock and farmers' produce and that every premium offered will be promptly paid.
