From the TJnion'B xpecial Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. June ll. It "will not be long now before the people of Minnesota will be called upon to choose between the parties. It will be the same old fight be tween the Republicans and Demo crats. The Populists will cast some votes, but an intelligent peo ple are not going to trust them selves in the hands of these vision ary, if not demagogic peopled "Let us give some reasons, based upon the facts of the tariff bill under consideration why the Republcans should be returned to power. The Democratic tariff bill takes $38,000,00 off luxuries and places $5Q, 000,000 on one necessity, sugar. The date when the sugar sched ule goes into effect, Jan. 1, 1895, gives the sugar trust $30,000,000 by allowing it to get raw sugar free of duty now, and making on the increased price after the tariff goes into effect. By extending the bounty until the same date the southern planters will receive two cents a pound for all "soger pro duced and holding it until after the tariff goes into effect will get the additional raise of one and one-half cents per pound. This is another gift of $20,000,000 to the sugar planters, making $50,000,000 that should be saved to the treasury. i The cotton schedule gives nearly 50 per cent protection to the cot ton manufacturers, which the man who buys cotton cloths or clothes of 'any kind-will haveto pay.. This the overalls which many farmerfs and sworkingmen buy There are great cotton concerns in Gorman's State. Meanwhile the tariff is taken off or greatly reduced on every agri cultural product, including wool, grain and live stock. Canada is freely invited into our market'with all her products for which we made southern "and European countries pay, by giving us a market under the reciprocity agreements. This was very ably shown in Senator Washburn's speech. Against each and all of these things the Minnesota Republican delegation in congress voted and protested, and for this reason they should all be returned to congress Senator Davis- is recognized as one of the great and scholarly men of the senate. He "believes the tariff bill which must pass should be got out of the way as soon as possible. For this reason he has not delayed it by any- long speeches, but he has VQted right every time. Senator Davis is a credit to the State.*, Good work and good records deserve reward. I have always been of the opinion that men to be successful must be retained in con gress. Tawney, McCleary, Kiefer and Fletcher have been on the ground attending to business, never overlooking a point for the State. They should be renomin ated and will be. $Si newspaper^s fora sale Apply to Hason Cravens, at the cans will no doubt carry the next house the Minnesota men will, among so many new members, be considered experienced., l\ "5 l^CV- ARTHUR W. DUNN. A Biblical Fable Exploded. George Glaggett stood in the doorway of the Leader office the other day and handing, us a branch of box elder called our attention to the shining, sticky substance that had oozed out of the leaves. "That" said the theologian "is honey dew, as sweet as honey and plentiful almost as the dew of heaven. It is nothing more or less than mannathe same that furnished food for the children of Israel during their long and peril ous wanderings in the wilderness. They, in their simple ignorance, supposed it to fall from heaven but, as a matter of fact, it gathered each day upon the leaves of the mammoth trees of that region and in such quantity that it hardened into a sugary substance and fell to the ground where they found it each day, in great abund ance. It is exceedingly sweet and nutritious and I find that the bees up at my house are industriously gathering it for their winter stores, and but we escaped by the back window and heard no more. -Montevideo Leader. Good Advice. A friend was complaining bit terly to the growler the other day, because certain things had been said of him. Well, how our method is to pay no attention to slanderers and gossipM mongers. Keep straight on your course, and let their back-biting die the death of neglect.- What is the use of lying awake at night brooding fV&^^^vkoQs^^ of-some hat runs through your brain like lightning? What is the use of getting into a worry and fret over gossip that has been set fnen "$ When they wm btfck next time they will get better committee places. Fletcher is now quite well fixed, but Tawney, McCleary and Kiefer will get places their abilities entitle them to. As the Republi- afloat to your disvantage by. some meddlesome body who has more time than character? Those things cannot injure you unless indeed, you take notice of them, and, in combating them, give them stand ing and character. If what, is said of you is true set yourself right, if it is -false let it go for what it will fetch." .If a bee stings you, would you, go to the hive to destroy it. It is wisdom to say little concern ing the injuries you receive., We are generally losers in the end if we stop to refute all the backbit ing and,, gossiping that we may hear by the way. They are an noying it is true, but not danger ous for we never yet met one of these scavengers but what .sooner or later were worse off for their talk than you were.Sauk Rapids Sentinel. Ijee May Fool 'Em. We notice that a few papers have claimed that the appointment of W. E. Lee as superintendent of the reformatory was a scheme put up by Governor Nelson. The fact is the governor did not know a word of the matter till he saw it in the papers: ^Brother Pease seems to think there is a scheme of some kind behind it all, aa he can't see why Mr. Lee, with such bright political prospects before him, should accept such a position. There is no scheme at the bottom of it, but it was a plain business transaction on the part of Mr. Lee. Those who think he is going en tirely out of politics may awaken .some day and find they have been mistaken.Todd County Argus. Top buggy for sale at Wm. Cordiner's wagon shop. Good as new*.
