Eustis, Mayor of Minneapolis, Fires the J: First Gun. LAKGE AUDIENCE PRESENT. Five Hundred People at the Opera House, Monday, Ias ten to the Great Speaker. Hon. Wm. H. Eustis came in Mon day afternoon on the Eastern Minne-, sota train from Minneapolis. It was not definitely known whether he would reach Princeton on that train or the, evening train, so that no particular demonstration could be made for his reception at the depot. R. C. Dunn was on hand however, and took care that Mr. Eustis was well provided for during his stay in the village. At 7:30 the cornet band, heading a torch light probession, repaired to the residence of Mr. Dunn, where the speaker of the evening, in company with Mr. Dunn, was waiting to be escorted to the Opera House. A large concourse of people of both sexes had gathered from town and country, on Main street in the vicinity of the halL At the conclusion of the street parade, several hundred people filed into the hall and remained almost without exception to the close. On the platform with Mayor Eustis were R. C. Dunn, H. R. Mallette and L. S. Briggs. Mr. Dunn acted as chairman, and introduced Mr. Mal lette as one of the Republican nominees from this district for the next legisla ture. Mr. Mallette replied in a brief but neat speech, thanking the people for the honor conferred upon him, and pledging himself, if elected, to do his best for the interests of his constitu ents. Mr. Dunn then introduced the speaker of the evening, Hon. Wm. H. Eustis, Mayor of Minneapolis, prefac ing the introduction by complimenting Mr..'Eustis on his straightforward, nded administration of the city 'a"of MinneapblisffMr.'EustiBhas- few equals as a speaker. He held the closest attention of the large audience for nearly two hours. His opening re marks were mainly devoted to the thrift, energy and public spirit of our citizens as displayed in the public buildings and fine- business blocks re cently constructed here. Factories must be erected to insure permanent prosperity they are needed and must be built before any town or city can feel that it is on a safe basis. The speaker then explained the necessity of protection to develop such enter prises, showing in the course of his re marks the manner in which all the great industries of this country have developed under a protective policy, and illustrating beyond contradiction by referring to Minneapolis, how quickly those same industries had collapsed under the uncertainty and doubt thrown upon the people of that city by the tariff tinkerings of the party now in power. All over this great country from ocean to ocean from the Gulf to the northern boundary line, the same distress prevails, forced upon the people by the change of policy of the present administration. The speaker predicted that the voters at the polls at the next election would bury the ideas of free trade so deep that Gabriel's trumpet would fail to resurrect them. vGreat applause, and shouts of "You bet we will," came up from the audience. The Populists with their theories claimed the attention of the speaker for a brief time. He demonstrated clearly the fallacy of their position, and asked them to consider without prejudice the present status of affairs, and then vote to correct the evils. He felt sure their ballots would help to as sert the supremacy of the Republican party. In closing, the speaker paid a glowing tribute to the sterling qual ities of Gov. Knute Nelson, and other 'candidates on the State ticket. H. R. Mallette was not forgotten, and the speaker called attention to the fact that a senator was to be elected by the comirig legislature, hence the necessity of sending Republican members to the legislature of 1895, who would see that Hon. W. D. Washburn be elected to succeed himself in the senate of the United States.*- f^sp-ji- *b/!A\i, K0 i"V^Kvtf Indians are good of examples of free trade existences ff V'|jf.' \VN.'V' i Democrats do not know where to put the hole in the evener.

On behalf of the fire sufferers here we wish to express our earnest and heartfelt thanks for the generous and prompt assistance which the good peo ple of Princeton cheerfully gave in our time of .great need. Eighty people were entirely burned outlosing every thing, and in addijbion^to these, 542 peo ple lost so heavily that they have had to -have assistance. Some ^of the?*, while saving their houses and con tents, lost their barns, hay, cows,?pigs, chickens, and the larger part of their crop and garden vegetables, wood, ties, logs, in fact, everything upon which they depended for a living during the coming winter. Had it not been for the substantial aid given by Princeton great suffering for food and clothing would have ensued immediately after the fire. We wish especially to thank Bob Dunn for the zeal and activity dis played in awakening interest in our people both by his personal efforts and through his paper, the Princeton UNION. Mr. T. H. Caley has also ren dered many favors, and has furnished nails, beds, bedding and household fur niture at actual cost price.- Our county commissionersGeorge Buck, John McCool and A. J. Barrettare de serving of especial credit for their gen erosity in donating $500 for fire relief here, which is being expended under the direction of A. J. Barre.tt, and is going where it is needed the most. There are many others in Princeton whose names we do not know, but whose donations have been received and distributed among the fire suffer ers, and if they could see the thankful ness with which they were accepted it would well repay for the gift.

Republicans, Democrats and Popu lists gathered in force at Milaca, Tues day night to hear Hon. C. A. Towne, of Duluth, candidate for congress, ex pound the principles of Republicanism, and explain the issues of the present campaign. Clerk of Court Briggs, chairman of the evening, introduced Hon. H. R. Mallette, who spoke for a short time. Mr. Mallette was roundly applauded at the close of his speech. Hon. C. A. Towne was then introduced. His two hours' speech was replete with bristling points of argument that are cold hard facts, and as presented by Mr. Towne, carry conviction with them. A young man of ability, clean, clear-cut and close shaven, just what candid men like to see in other men but not the shadow or semblance of the dude in his make-up. Such is the im pression of the writer who saw Mr. Towne for the first time Tuesday night, and such must be the version of every person who hears the eloquent next congressman, from the Sixth dis trict, in one of his powerful speeches. The dude racket is an evidence of senility or imbecility on the part of Mr. Towne's opponents and should be entirely lost sight of during the rest of the campaign. Around the World. It was nearly three hundred years after Columbus discovered the New World, that the first voyage around the globe was made. April 13, 1769, the already celebrated English naviga tor, Captain Cook, sailed from the tight little isle on a voyage of discov ery. His ship was the "Endeavor," of 370'tons, about one-thirtieth the size of the largest ocean-going steamers of the present day, and yet he sailed away as confidently as our summer tourists now start for a tour of Europe. June 11, 1771, he returned to England to be knighted, and to have his name writ ten on the undying roll of fame. Eight years later, he was killed by' the na tives of Hawaii, while attempting to regain his boat after a slight misunder standing with the dusky islanders. Contrast his laborious and dangerous journeys with the trips-1 by-Nellie Bly And Elizabeth Bisland, 'Qd& who realized Verne's fiction of "Around the World in Eighty Days." Not all of us have the time or money to go around the world, yet we may see something of our own country. A tour only over the lines of the Burling ton system, will take the traveler through the greater part of eleven great states in the west and show him all varieties of scenery and all degrees of development in communities.

The many readers of the UNION in the Mille Lacs lake region will be pained to learn of the death of Mrs. A. B. Barrett at Owatonna on the 26th ult.
