MINNEAPOLIS. OFFICE 29 SOUTH FOURTH STREBT. W^pEGISSTOMY Long delayed paving in fair prospect of being re- Sl MED, CONDUIT SCHEME ARRANGED. Less elaborate plan for which the council will be asked to issue bonds. bl sixess men impatiext. Meeting Held at Which Ylgorom Protests Are Made— Xewi of Minneapolis. City Engineer Cappelen has aban doned the tunnel system adopted at the last meeting of the city council, for the care of all electric wires in the center of the city. Mr. Cappelen's action was owing to mechanical dif ficulties which could not be overcome. The plan abandoned provided for an underground tunnel three feet wide and six feet high, in which could be accommodated an immense number of cables and wires. In the place of this system, the city engineer has pro vided another scheme, which will cost far less, and at the same time will surmount the engineering obstacles found in the original scheme. The tunnel plan would Interfere with the gas piping system and that company has the right of way. The new system which the city en gineer will construct, will be composed of terra cofta piping, and while not as extensive, by far, as the original scheme, will still provide for an im mense amount of wiring, and will have the merit of being cheaper. It is believed the new system will remove the last objection of the howlers. City Engineer Cappelen yesterday wired to the East to secure bids for the ma terial, and will immediately com mence the work of construction. The abandonment of the tunnel pro position also settles to a large ex tent the delay in paving the business thoroughfares, and this morning both asphalt companies will start crews of men at work laying concrete. There will not be time enough in which to consider the matter of the conduits, on account of the arrange ment whereby the paving companies have been allowed to proceed upon one side of the thoroughfares. Mayor Pratt stated that he might call a special meeting of the council today to consider the bond matter, in order to push matters along. City Engineer Cappelen has sufficient funds on hand I to carry him along until the money i from the proposed bond sale can be realized, at which time the city comp troller can reimburse the engineer's fund. The question of immediate relief from the present condition of the streets is not the only thing which is worrying the business men of the city. The problem of uncompleted pavement at the time of the fall carnival and encampment is what is worrying the merchants at the present time. Dozens of the business men have been asked to subscribe liberally to the carnival fund, but there is no encouragement in doing so In the face of present con ditions. A meeting of many citizens was held late yesterday afternoon with W. L. Harris at the New England, and some heated remarks were indulged in. There were present among others: S. E. Olson, Jacob Barge, J. R. Gordon, J. R. Hofflin, C. S. Brackett, Messrs. Bintliff and many others. Aid. Alex ander and Drew were also present. The gentlemen were unanimously of the opinion that unless the work was commenced immediately in order that the streets could be completed before the carnival, there was no use in put ting up a Ot of money to construct costly floats, and in defraying the ex penses of the carnival and encamp ment. The present delay was talked over, and on the whole the situation looked very discouraging until City Engineer Cappelen dropped in and shed a few sunbeams. The city engin eer announced that he had turned over a portion of Sixth street to the paving companies, and that in all probability he could turn over three-fourths of Fifth street and a portion of First ave nue south. BONDS FOR SUBWAYS. Mayor Conies to the Conclusion They Must be Issued. A great deal of thought was brought to bear upon the burning subway question and other important munici pal matters late yesterday afternoon. Mayor Pratt, City Attorney Simpson, Comptroller Nye and City Engineer Cappelen met in the former's office and discussed the grave questions that now confront the city, partly for their own benefit and partly for the benefit of Comptroller Nye who returned yester day from the East. Mayor Pratt has been thinking strongly in the last few i - IL n /l H af ■ All over the house you need Pearline. And more than ever in house-clean ing. Just look over the list of things that you might use — soaps and powders and fluids and what not. Some of them don't pretend to help you as much as Pearline ; some will injure paint, or sur faces, or fabrics ; some are only meant to wash or clean certain things. With Pearline, you'll save time and labor in cleaning anything that water won't hurt. It can do no harm — saves useless and harmful nibbing. *® days of calling a special meeting of the council to take decisive action, and Mr. Nye came to his relief with the statement that an immediate meeting was made nesessary ln order that the sale of the school bonds might be con firmed before delivery to the New York Security _.nd Trust company to whom they were sold by the original pur chasers, W. Hayes & Sons, of Cleve land. On the strength of this Informa tion the mayor desided to call a spec ial meeting for this afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which the subway matter will be considered. Comptroller Nye said that howewr desirable the improvement might be there were no funds with which to do the work and the only action to take would be to issue $100,000 bonds. This way out of the difficulty will probably be taken. Mayor Pratt said frankly that he favored the issuance of the bonds. "1 have little fear of an injunction be ing served upon the city to restrain the city engineer from going ahead with the work." said he, "and I doubt very much if anything will come from the Injunction at all."

THE R4INT PAUL GLOBE: FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1890. jfIIDDLE ROAD POPS SEEM TO HAVE THE BEST OF THB SITUATION AT ST. LOUIS. STRONGLY AGAINST BRYAN. INSIST ON A PURELY POPULISTIC MAN ON A POPULISTIC PLAT FORM. CONVENTIONS WILL NOT AGREE. Not Much Hope That the Populists And the Silver Men Will Act In Unison. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 16.— According to interviews tonight with a number of prominent Populists and silver men, the concensus of opinion seemed to be that the conventions which will meet here on July 22 will not work in unison as expected. They will be un able to agree as to the selection of a presidential candidate. Silver men seem to be unanimous for the nominee of the Chicago convention, while ths Populists now here want a distinctive ly Populistic candidate. However, It is too early to predict what the con ventions will do, for only a few of the large number of delegates expected are here. "The Middle of the Road" Populists are making a strong fight against either an Indorsement of Bryan and the Chicago platform or the nomination of the Nebraskan on a Populist plat form. They are much encouraged over the action of the Arkansas Pop ulist convention which yesterday re fused to endorse Bryan and they pro pose to crystalize the anti-Bryan sen timent by a public meeting of the "mid dle of the road" followers Saturday af ternoon when the campaign against him will be opened. All delegates and Populists who want a separate ticket and an Independent Populist organization are expected to be present. Chairman Taubeneck of tho People's Party na tional committee heads the "Middle of the Road" section and with him are as sociated those who signed the man ifesto issued after the Republican con vention declaring for Teller for pres ident. Sergeant-atArms McDowell who went to Little Rock to present an argu ment against the indorsement of Bryan returned today and reported success. The proposition presented by Mr. Mc- Dowell to the convention was In the form of an address reviewing the two sides of the question of Indorsement of the Democrats on one set of electors, order to restore silver to its lawful place and make a combination with the Democrats, the Populists must do one of two things: First— lndorse the Democratic ticket nominated at Chicago and merge into the Democratic party; or, Second — To nominate a ticket of their own and enter into an agreement with the Democratic ticket. It is stated in The address then says: "If the flrst policy is pursued the People's party will lose its identity and become an annex to the Democratic party. Whenever one party indorses the national ticket of an other it has no further excuse to exist. All the state, legislative and county candidates in the People's party, with the exception of a few Western states, will have to resign, be cause it would be impossible for the Populist candidates to make a fight for their local tickets when the party nationally indorses the Chicago nominees. "On the other hand, suppose the Populist and silver parties consolidate and pursue the policy of nominating a ticket of' their own, and unite with the Democrats^ on electors, what will then Be their status before the country? In the place of anne&.to the Dem ocratic party they will become an ally. It will preserve the People's party organiza tion for future use, and by making an alli ance with the bolting Republicans the Popu lists will outnumber the Democrats and make them a third party at the polls next November. If the combination ticket is successful the Populists will have either the president or vice president, and will also be in a position to demand an equal share of the federal patronage, including the cab inet and foreign appointments." Mr. McDowell, Mr. Taubeneck and others associated with them take the ground that party organization must be preserved. Tau beneck will make a hard fight on this line, but it is the opinion of some of the best in formed Populists now here that he has wait ed too long to show his hand and that he will be inthe minority. The Teller manifesto seems to have proven a boomerang to Taube neck. PICTURESQUE MR. WAITE. He Will Cat Verj Little Figure at St. Louis. DENVER, Colo., July 16.— The Pic turesque Ex-Governor David H. Waite will be a feature of the St. Louis Pop ulist convention, but he will be there only as a contestant for a seat. The leaders of the regular delegation take exception to the reports which have gone abroad that Mr. Waite is at the head of the Colorado delegation. Nothing, they say, is farther from the truth, as he is not even a delegate. At the Populist state convention held in Denver July 4, he sought for admission to it as the head of a Den ver delegation and claimed to have been selected at a mass convention. The committee on credentials rejected his claims by a vote of 39 to 9 and the convention, without a dissenting vote, sustained the credentials committee. Governor Waite then walked out of the state convention at the head of his re jected delegates, all from Arapahoe county, and went to another hall where they resolved themselves into another mass convention and w«?n.t through the form of appointing delegates to St. Louis for the state. Only the rejected delegates, who were from a single county, participated in this convention. Governor Waite professes to be for Bryan for president, but his opponents in the party say the claim is a pretense to win favor with the dominant mem bers of the national body and to help him to the seats for which he and the other members of his delegation are contending. ARKANSAS POPULISTS. Straight Out Silver Platform Adopted at Little Rock. LITTLE ROCK, Rrk., July 16.-The Populist state convention got down to business this morning. A resolution was offered instructing the delegates to St Louis to vote for a "middle of the road" Populist for president, in case Mr Bryan would not accept the Omaha platform. The resolution was referred without reading. District delegates to the national convention were selected, and a voluminous platform was adopt ed, denouncing both the Republican and Democratic parties; favoring the free and unlimited coinage of silver without waiting for the aid or consent of any H r «« WlMlow>§ Soothing Syrup is an OLD and WELL-TRIED REMEDY aad for over FIFTY YEARS has been used bj millions of mothers for their CHILDREN while CUTTING TEETH with perfect success It soothes the child, softens the gums, reduces inflammation, allays all pain, cures wind oolic is very pleasant to the taste, and is the best remedy fcr diarrhoea. 6eld by druggists in tvery part of the world.

GOLD STANtfi&D TICKET. ;. •■'*-_ Comptroler Efkels Strong!) in Favor qf One. WASHINGTON,' JuIy 16.— Mr. Eckels, the comptroller of 'the 1 currency, has re turned to Washington from the Chi cago convention. "He is an earnest bellver in the wisdom of putting a gold standard Democratic 'national ticket ln the field as a metn« of accomplishing the defeat of the free' silver candidates, and he believes that this will be done. Mr. Eckels said today: "I believe the nominees of the Chicago convention ought to be defeated because of the principles enunciated ln the plat form upon whlah they stand, and which they unqualifiedly endorsed. These principles, if crystallized into law would, in my mind, inevitably work irreparable loss to every class of citi zens, and cause conditions of distress on every hand. They are not In accord with either the history, the teachings or the traditions of Democrats. The point of interest with Democrats who reiect the action of the convention ought to be now the largest and most effective majority can be secured against the ticket named. "My own view is that the naming of candidates of high character, and the framing of a platform, sound in every particular would aid to this end. It would! afford an opportunity which otherwise would be wanting to discuss this question before Democratic audi ences, by Democratic speakers. The educational work most needed is with in the Democratic faith. It would al so give the Democratic press something tangible to advocate. "Up to this point, the merit of the question has not general been discus sed. There has been more of denunci ation of men than of consideration of economic principles. A Democratic ticket will double the number of those who will compel attention to the merit of the question and force the propon ents of the free coinage of silver and its accompanying vagaries to meet economic facts and financial history with something more than histerlcal oratory and passionate misstatements. A four months' canvass, carried out upon educational lines, with Demo cratic speakers and papers attacking the Chicago platform, will lose to the candidates standing upon it, many thousands of votes, who otherwise might through lack of knowledge or Indifference vote for them. It will not cause any Democrat who Is determin ed to vote for the Republican nominees not to do so. It will simply give those who otherwise might vote wrong, the opportunity not to do so. The larger the contribution of Demo cratic votes to the defeat of the Chi cago nominees, the better In the end for the usefulness of the party." FUSION IN MICHIGAN. Sought toy the New National Silver Party. LANSING, Mich., July 16.— The state con vention of the national silver party met here today. E. C. Watkins was permanent chair man and ex-Congressman Richardson sec retary. Delegates were elected to attend the national sliver convention at St. Louis. They were instructed to vote as a unit. A resolu tion Instructing them to vote for Bryan and Sewall was withdrawn. The platform con tains a free silver plank only. A state cen tral committee was elected and directed to call a convention of the new party on the date of the Democratic national and Populist conventions, with the view of uniting upon a single electoral and state ticket. A grand Bryan and Sewall ratification meeting was held in front of the state capltol this even ing. _ VANDERBILTS CONDITION. No Change Reported Up to a Late Hour.

SPEECH IS SlltVEfl IN THE CASE OF WILLIAM JEN NINO'S BRYAN OF NE BRASKA, WHITE METAL ADDRESSES. SCATTERED OVER THE STATE OF MISSOURI BY THE BOY ORATOR. 810 OVATION AT KANSAS CITY. "Paramount Issue of tbe Campaign Again Discussed by the Nomi nee of Chicago Convention. KANSAS CITT, Mo., July 16.— Ten thousand people howled themselves in to a frenzy of enthusiasm over William J. Bryan, the Democratic presidential nominee, tonight. The cheering began at least an hour before Mr. Bryan was advertised to appear, and it was kept up with an occasional lull, until the distinguished free silver advocate came into view. Then the throng broke out with redoubled energy and gave him an ovation that was not unlike that which he received after his famous speech at the Chicago convention. Hon. Henry S. Julian, chairman of the Jack son county central committee, Intro duced the silver orator. When the cheering ceased, Mr. Bryan said: "I stated to the committee that I would not make a political speech, but in the presence of so many interested people, I am afraid I wlil be compelled to break my promise for a few mo ments. We are entering upon a mem orable campaign. The platforms have been adopted. Two great parties have placed their candidates in the field, and in a little while you, as citizens, will be called upon to discuss the is sues involved. The platform adopted at Chicago presents the Issues which are paramount in this campaign. It is a Democratic platform ln every sentence, word and syllable. (Ap plause.) It is a Democratic platform that carries the party back to the days of its founder, Thomas Jefferson, and to its most courageous defender, Andrew Jackson. There never was a time when the real principles of true Democracy were dearer to the hearts of American people than they are to day, and It Is because that platform appeals to the hearts of the American people that you find them rising in its support from the Paciflc ocean clear down to the places where the waves of the Atlantic beat. "It is not the platform of a section. It is the platform of our common country and appeals to those who love mankind to rise in its defense. It breathes the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. It represents those funda mental truths upon which all true -government must rest. It proclaims the doctrine of civil liberty. It is Demo cratic from the first sentence to the last, in that broader sense In which Democracy appeals to all who believe in a government 'of the people, by the people and for the people.' (Applause.) "From time to time questions arise, but the principlesof Democracy are true in all the times and climes. We simply apply to new conditions the principles which are as eternal as the hills and this time our platform has declared that the PARAMOUNT PUBLIC QUESTION is the restoration of the gold and silver coin age of th» -constitution. (Wild applause). All other questions must stand back until this great question is solved. Four years ago we went into, ra campaign where the great divid ing issue yptte the tariff question. The tariff question is. a question of taxation and the sub ject qf taxation is always with us. We may settle it now and again and again, but while there is a government the subject of taxation will be ever present. But there are times when the acts of this nation upon its finan cial policy may determine the welfare of the people; not only of this nation, but of the world; no only -now, but for years and de cades yet to come. "We have reached a crisis in our monetary legislation. There are those who would chain this nation to the gold Standard, and while there be those who would fasten a European yoke upon the necks of American freemen, there is but one question, and that is can this nation govern itself and make its' own laws for its own people? (Wild applause). "In speaking with emphasis upon thi3 subject, I beg of you not to think that we who believe in the free coinage of silver lack charity for those who dif fer from us. There are great men good men, who do not agree to the re storation of silver. Let us not speak of them in terms of denunciation. My heart is sad tonight because of the news received this afternoon that one of the most illustrious Democrats of the East who differed from us honestly upon this great question, has suddenly passed away, and I know that when I an nounce that Ex-Gov. William E. Rus sell was this afternoon suddenly touch ed by the finger of death, you will agree with me in leaping across the differences that separate us, and bow ing with reverence and respect over his lifeless body. "I beg to impress upon you that you have an equal right; that the people of any section of this land have a right to make your influence felt in dealing with the destinies of this republic. We have our homes and our families to con sider and they have none to protect them but us, and if we fail in our duty their interests must be neglected I believe, to the very bottom of my heart, and the belief touches every fiber of my being, that until we restore silver to its equal place by the side of gold, to the place it occupied for so many years, so many centuries and so many ages, there can be no lasting prosperity brought back to the homes of those who toil. (Deafening applause.) "But I am not going to discuss this ques tion (cries of 'Go on'). I want to appeal to you tto Jtudy it for yourselves and to enable you to siuoy U intelligently, and for that purpose I want to suggesx £2 things for you to think about. The tell you that *old standard is the standard of civilization. fTia T is their argument. If they tell you that let me suggest an answer that is complete.' If the gold standard is the standard of civiliza tion, why is It that the United States the leader In the civilization of the world, has never declared for the gold standard? (Great appplause.) If they admit that the double standard is better than a single standard— a single gold standard, and tell us that this nation is unable to sustain it without the aid and consent of other nations, we hurl back defiance at them and tell them that this na tion is great enough to legislate for its own people without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. (Cheers and applause). Which course will they take? They dare not take either course. They dare not meet the issue on the money question, because there is no ground upon which they can stand. "I have no fear of the verdict of the peo ple. When we were but 3,000,000, we were willing to declare for our political in dependence. When we are 70,000,000 shall [ Chas. Edgar Brown /^^ 3 • Postmaster of Cincinnati, 0., Writes : htk lj» m • T HAVE used the JOHANN HOFF'S %ss& W 2 » 1 MALT EXTRACT, and found it \ \\\\_V_\ % % • not only pleasant to take, but believe «$ % it to be beneficial.

We are in favor of this nation protecting a little nation like Venezuela from an act of wrong. Are we great enough to go to South America and protect Venezuela and can we do that, and shall we say we are not able to protect our own people on our own soil?" At the conclusion of his speech, a cyclone of applause swept up from the multitude. The band struck up a lively air and the en thusiastic admirers of the famous Nebraska citizen dispersed to their homes. Mr. Bryan and party will leave at 10:30 tomorrow morn ing for Lincoln. SPEECHES GALORE. Mr. Bryan Talked ln a Number of Towns. ST. LOUIS, July 16.— Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left Salem early this morning on their way to Lincoln. At East St. Lculs the train was met by a big crowd and Mr. Bryan said a few words. At i St. Louis the party stopped for break fast, and again Mr. Bryan responded to the calls for a speech.. At Vande venter station, in the western part of the city, Hon. Richard P. Bland board ed the train to accompany the party as far as Jefferson city. When the train reached Washington, Mo., Mr. Bland introduced Mr. Bryan to a large number of people gathered : at that place, saying that he was to j be the next president of the United States. "I served with him for four years in congress," he said, "and he has been just as true to the silver cause and the people as I have been, and if I had been consulted about naming the candidate of the Democratic Rarty for president of the United States, this gentleman would have been my choice." The assembled Missourians cheered the appearance of Mr. Bryan lustily. He acknowledged the ovation paid him with a bow, and said: "I do not con sider my nomination as a personal compliment at all, nor do I desire you to consider that in my nomination the convention reflected upon Mr. Bland. If this nomination had gone to Mr. Bland, it would have gone to the man who for 20 years has worked to keep alive the silver cause, and in the hour of its victory will be entitled to more cred it than any other living man. (Great ap plause.) Circumstances, not merit, have decided this nomination, and all that I can do will be no more than Mr. Bland would have ddne under the same circumstances, if he had been the choice of the convention, instead of myself; he would have >had no more loyal supporter in the nation than I would have been. I thank you for this opportunity of meeting you." (Applause and cheers.) Mr. Bland went back to the car in which the Bryan party were seated and congratulated Mr. Bryan. He told that gentleman that his election was certain, and in referring to the recent fight, said: "I really felt like some body had lifted a load off my should ers." Mr. Bryan was embarrassed for a moment, and stuttered back: "I — I — I — did that same myself." Mr. Bland noting the evident embar rassment of Mr. Bryan, gave that gen tleman time to collect his thoughts j by entering into a conversation with Mrs. Bryan. At Jefferson City, Bryan was tender ed a big reception. The train made a I stop of 35 minutes and Mr. Bryan was | driven in Gov. Stone's buggy to a plaza near by and addressed some 3,000 peo ple. He was introduced by Bland. BRYAN RECEPTION. Lincoln Will Spread Itself This Evening-- LINCOLN, Neb., July 16.— Plans for the reception Friday night to William J. Bryan are maturing rapidly. It is now more fully realized that there is destined to be an immense throng in Lincoln on that date, and the prospects are bright for a demonstration of mam moth proportions. Thousands of let ters are at the postoffice awaiting the arrival of Mr. Bryan. There Is also a rabbit's foot attached to a postal card. Within a radius of 100 miles of Lincoln, tickets will be sold Friday, July 17, with the return limit Satur day, July 18. Beyond this limit tickets will be sold today and Friday, with re turn limit Saturday. The Burlington, Rock Island and Elkhorn roads expect to do a large business from Omaha, trains being run to suit everybody almost hourly. Man agers of twenty-five different bands have been heard from, all of which will take part in the demonstration. The Bryan enthusiasm has apparent ly obscured the fa^t that another dis tinguished citizen of Nebraska has been similarly honored. Rev. Charles E. Bentley, the presidential nominee of the new national party, which first flung its banner to the breeze at Pitts burg, resides, with his family, in a modest house at the Northwest corner of Twenty-eighth and M streets.

It is reported that the com mittee while at Canton will make every possible effort to induce Mr. MeKinley to make a trip through the West or at least deliver some speeches in that sec tion o' the country. -Some of the Western committeemen are strongly In favor of having the campaign opened in Omaha or Lincoln, Neb. HOW TOJEED BABY. Prevalent Cholera Infantum Distresses Mothers. SICKNESS DUE MORE TO FAULTY FEEDING THAN TO HEAT. May be Prevented by Putting Child on a Diet of Lactated Food. "On the 31st of October, 1894," write* Mrs. Thomas J. Jones, of Whitehall, N. V., "I was blessed with triplets. I was unable to nurse them, so had to use artificial foods. I flrst tried cow's milk, and after that three brands oil baby foods, but my babies did not seem to do well on them. A neighbor who had used lactated food advised me to give it a trial. I did so. . "I could see a change ln my babies at once. They rested better at night. Before I used your lactated food, I did! not know what a night's sleep was since the babies were born, but after using it two days, I was able to do all my work without any help or trouble. "In six months they gained seven, eight, and eight and a half pounds wf^Wf ONE OF THE BRIGHT TRIPLETS. I could not recommend your lactated food too highly, and hope other moth ers will be helped as I have been with, your lactated food, which I know they, will, if they use the food." Mothers are often brought to tha verge of despair during hot weather because baby refuses to take food ot* throws it up. One of the marked su periorities of lactated food over other infant foods is repeatedly spoken of iK letters of mothers from all over the country. Lactated food Is taken eager ly, more often greedily, by babies who are deprived of their mother's milk, and in hosts of Instances it is evidently preferred by them to breast milk when the latter has beceme thin and poor either from long nursing or hot weather. Cholera infantum, that Is now rag ing, is best prevented by lactated food. This dread disease is due more to faulty feeding than to heat. Lactated food is used in all the large homes for children throughout the United States, and in families that pos sess every means for securing the best for their children; and yet it is easily withn the reach of the modest households in the land.
