PRINCETON, MINN., JULY 19, 1894. THI: silver plank of the Repub lican platform is all right. CONGRESSMAN BOEN NATIONAL GOOD HON. synopsis of the pro ceedings of the Republican and Populist State conventions will be found on the third page of this issue. THERE is little prospect of an agreement between the house and senate on the mongrel tariff bill. The probability is that the house will reject it. D. M. CLOUGH MAJOR BALDWIN HON. J. A. KEYES, the Populist nominee for attorney general, was a member of the State legislature in 1889 and again in 1891. He is an able lawyer and an exceedingly conscientious gentleman. A. DELACY WOOD JW,ffljS has been re-nominated by the Populists of the Seventh district.

Benton county has twoto newspapers already and their pub lishers are not making money any too fast. Gov. NELSON richly merited the compliment that was paid him in the Republican State convention unanimous renomination by ac clamation. He has made an ideal governor. His official record is without a flaw. MINNEAPOLIS Progress: Min nesota Republicans in State con vention nominated a ticket that must prove well nigh invincible in the coming campaign. Governor Nelson's renomination is well de served, as he has made an excel lent executive. S. M. OWEN, the nominee of the People's Party for governor, is neither a demagogue nor a crank, and nothing is to be gained by un derestimating his vote-getting qualities. But we know of no reason why any Republican should vote for him in preference to honest, rugged Knute Nelson. DULUTH ISAAC Commonwealth: The railroads have the right to specify that the new employes shall not be members of the A. R, U. But in boycotting the order they lay themselves open to indictment for conspiracy according to several authorities. We hate a boycott and we do not see that it is any more pleasant for being directed against a labor organization. E. STAPLES, clerk of court of Morrison county and mayor of Little Falls, announces that he is no longer a Democrat. In a letter to the Transcript he succinctly gives his reasons for severing his connection with that party. His letter is a ringing in dictment of the incapacity section alism and failure of the party with which he has affiliated for so many jrears. HE platform adopted by the ^Republican State convention is an excellent one, and its best plank is the one that demands that rail road lands be taxed by the ordi nary method of direct taxation.

Dunn got there, and now, alas, "Bob" will be as beastly radical as the worst of 'em.St. Cloud Times. You are laboring under a delu sion, Bro. Macdonald. Our opin ions are our own. We will be no more radical now than we ever were. We will labor for the suc cess of the entire Republican ticket because we believe in the princi ples enunciated in the platform of that party in this State, and be cause we believe the candidates of the party are worthy of our sup port. But at the same time those who look for virulent abuse of the opposition in the columns of the UNION will be disappointed. WHITEMAN, formerly sen ator from the Duluth district and later Democratic candidate for con gress in the old Fifth district, has been arrested at Detroit on the charge of forgery. It appears that he was the head of an organized gang of sharpers and had issued worthless paper to the amount of $50,000. It was only a few months ago that he was under arrest in New York for trying to pass a forged check. His friends suc ceeded in getting him out of that scrape upon his promise to stop gambling and be an honest man. Whiteman is past reformation. W E cannot express our grati tude in cold print to the host of gallant and devoted friends who battled so successfully for us in the Republican State convention and secured for us the nomination for State auditor. As long as life lasts we shall cherish each and every one of them in our heart of hearts. If the voters of the State see fit to ratify the action of the convention by electing us to the honorable and responsible position of State auditor we will endeavor prove to our friends that we are worthy of the confidence they have reposed in us, and it will be the height of our ambition to dis charge the duties of the office in such a manner as to meet with the approval of honest men of all parties. HON. C. B. BUCKMAN is not a candidate for congressional honors. He concedes the Republican nom ination to Mr. Towne, of Duluth. He was interviewed by a St. Cloud Journal-Press reporter the other day and expressed himself as fol lows: I am very glad you have mentioned the matter, as it will give me the op portunity to inform the public that I am not a candidate for congress. Of course I appreciate the kind things that have been said of my candidacy, and the many offers of support I have received from this section of the dis trict, but I am interested in the success of the Republican party, and St. Louis county having presented a candidate who is in every way acceptableable, eloquent and honestI believe that he should receive the unanimous support of the whole district, and he will be nominated by acclamation at the Brain erd convention. The Duluth fellows behaved so nicely in standing by Bob Dunn, that I feel very friendly towards them, and I know it is good politics to preserve this sentiment of standing by a Sixth dis trict man. Towne is, perhaps, the best public speaker in the State, and he will give us a brilliant campaign, and will be elected by a handsome majority. There was a time when I wanted to go to congress, but I have entirely got ten over the fever. I have made ar rangements to cut more logs than ever this winter, and would not go to con gress if presented with a certificate of election. "The Girl I Left Behind Me." The fame of the song "The Girl I Left Behind Me" is worldwide. No British man-of-war leaves har bor, no British regiment leaves its station for foreign service, without the plaintive air being heard by the men who are leaving and the girlstheir mothers, sisters, wives and sweetheartswho are being left behind. This song, like many another that his stirred the British heart at home and abroad, that has given valor in the fight and brought the soft recollections of the motherland amid the horrors of the battlefield, is anonymous. si.

O'Neil, harper, A. D. lloo, author and date unknown. [The air was written for a march, and the English version of the words, called 'Brighton Camp,' di&ers considerably from these.

Wherever it was played, it is now almost a century since it became the soldiers' and sailors' loath-to-leave, and it has so long been played on every man-of war as she weighed anchor and for every regiment as it quitted a town where it had been stationed that an omission would be thought a slight upon the ladies.Toronto Mail. EARXY DAYS. Benjamin Soule Tells of the Scurvy Trick Played on a Fellow-Traveler. Benjamin Soule was in a remin iscent mood the other day and was the center of a group of eager listeners as he was relating some of his early experiences in Minne sota. The UNION reporter caught the following: During the winter of '55 and '56,Nellie when the means of transportation from Red Wing and points along the Mis sissippi river to St. Paul and St. An thony was over Col. Allen's stage line, I had occasion, in company with a couple of friends, to take the stage from one of the lower points to St. Paul. Among the strangers to us was a rather fussy sort of fellow who felt a pleasure, apparently, only in finding fault with his fellow-passengers, and in denouncing the weather which was down somewhere near the 40 mark. At Red Wing old Fussy had secured a good sized boulder which he placed near the fire until it was well heated. Having secured a sack, the stone was duly ensconced thereinjust the thing to keep his feet warm until the next stopping point was reached. Before starting the trio of friends managed to get the rock out of the bag and placed in its stead a piece of ice similar in size and shape to the stone. Aftes an, hour's ride the fault-finder complained about the rigors of the climate, and wondered why in h1 his feet got cold so quickly. Still further on, his un easiness increased and he drove his hand down to turn the rock around, remarking that the cursed thing was as cold as ice. His feet kept growing colder until he felt the necessity of running behind the stage for several miles to bring them back to their nor mal state. Getting into the stage again he said that at the next point of stopping he would warm that rock so it would stay warm, if the court knew itself which it did. The place was reached in due time, and the fussy traveler with his teeth chattering, grabbed the sack with the crystal rock in it and started for the inn. A roaring fire was blazing on the hearth and he proceeded to empty the contents of the sack where it would take unto itself the glowing heat of the fire. As the ice rolled out on the hearth, surprise, mortification and anger followed each other in rapid suc cession. He glared at his companions, with the danger signal up. He changed from a fault finding, fussy growler to a pugilist and challenged the entire crowd to fistic combat with no takers. All were "mum" as the melting ice before the grate. "Silence settled wide and still" on that little community who had played that practi cal joke on their fellow traveler. No allusions were made to the matter dur ing the remainder of the journey to St. Paul, and then the three friends sought a secluded spot before giving vent to their pent-up feelings.

Dr.Fridley the expert dentist, has decided to put Princeton on his list and will be at the Commercial Hotel, July 23rd and 24th and the 23rd and 24th of each month until further notice.

The board has the thanks of the school for books and supplies furnished. Compliments are heard for Prof. Shoemaker and his assistant, Miss Clute. Mrs. Geo. Young has the thanks of the school for her usual pretty bouquet for opening. All the teachers are here except Miss Hudson and Miss Ross, who are daily expected. The early hours from 7 to 12 was brought about by a vote of the teach ers. It is just a trifle early for some. Owing to the large number of teach ers another assistant in the person of Prof. Stwoyer will be here for work next week. Miss Patterson is often spoken of by the teachers who were under her su pervision last year. Miss Leavitt is also alive in their memories. Editors Safford, VanWormer and Dare have the sincere thanks of Supt. O. R. Barker for their kindly notices in reference to the training school. Mr. L. Hyde, son of Prof. Hyde, is with the teachers this week in the in terests of that valuable teachers' aid, School Educator. Mr. Smith, managing editor, who came last year, finds it im possible to be here this season. The Training school is a success. Not less than seventy-five teachers have enrolled, and many more are ex pected. The interest shown from six counties is a guarantee which speaks for itself. Princeton has good reason to feel proud of this army of educators now assembled under the supervision of instructors of the highest standing. What besides this makes Princeton a desirable summer resort are its beauti ful shade trees and its intelligent and hospitable people. A. S.
