A mossrSCHEME How the "Journal" Wants to Se- cure an Anti-Cloueh Dele-' gation from Its City. if Jeffersonian Democrats Met Last Monday Evening to "Bury i& Caesar not to Praise Him." special Correspondence to the UNI ON MINNEAPOLIS, April 14, 1896.The Journal outlines editorially a plan which it thinks will serye to do up Governor Clough in Hennepin county. The plan is this: For all the guber natoiial candidates except Clough to unite upon one set of delegates in-4he counjty, and for voters to vote at the primaries on their choice for governor, thejl candidate receiving highest choice, aside from Clough, to receive the support of the solid Hennepin dele gation at the State convention. For example, if the combined opposition got three-fifths, the anti-Clough can didate in the lead should have the total delegation. |ji $- $- If Hennepin is entitled to 115 votes in the convention, two-fifths for Clough would be 46 and three-fifths for the combined opposition woald be 69. If the 69 votes, on the basis of the pri mary ballot, should stand in the ratio of 22 for Eustis, 20 for Van Sant, 15 for Lee^ 5 for Gibbs, 3 for Clapp, 2 for Mc GilL/ and 2 scatteringEustis would recejie the support of the delegation, although getting only 20 per cent, of the Support of the voters at the pri maries and less than half what Clough received. The Journal thinks this is tha only way Clough can be downed in Hennepin. The method is advised as a plan to defeat the "machine." A niceihuestion which might arise here is this Could the combination hold together long enough to deliver the goodlfe? Would the Van Sant support ers, for example, consent to giving the suppoit of the whole delegation to Eustis, when Van Sant lacked only two votes of as many as Eustis? There are many*nice questions here involved. 3Jt JHs been found that there Is an otherjrofitable industry in town^be-^. sides' the bicycle industry, and that is, in holding female bicyclist races. Misses Dottie Farnsworth, Helen Bald win, Mattie Christopher and the rest have standing proffers to enter two or three different wheel contests in the Twin Cities during the next 30 days. It is apparent that most ol the men folks of the present hard times have missed their calling. They should have been born female bicyclists in bloomers and kneebockers. $ $- The Jeffersonian Democrats ban quetted in honor of their patron saint last evening although only about half of them professed to be Jeffersonian on the money question, and the other half Groverian. C. Porter Johnson, of Chicago, posed as the Mark Antony of the occasion. He evidently came to bury Grover, not to praise him. The county attorney has dismissed O. L. Billings, indicted for perjury in the alleged bribery case, and the grand jury has dismissed Special Agent Howard, of the Great Northern, arraigned for bribery of jurors. Both sides seemed to have considered dis cretion the better part of valor. The 16 junketing aldermen and the mayor havse returned from their cruise to the Pacific coast in pursuit of munic ipal reform In their absence four of the citizens' organizations of the city have organized to put in the field this fall a non-partisan ticket of clean aldermen and efficient city officials. $- The Booth-Tuckers of recent Salva tion Army fame arrive in town Thurs day, and the local army of red shirts and poke-bonnets will be out a thou sand strong in their best bibs and tuckers to receive their new com mander. The "bricklayers are after the con tractor on the new University drill hall, alias gymnasium building, for re fusing to pay union wages and employ union men. He is said to be the only contractor in town who is not paying the regulation union wages* The re gents and the commercial bodies of the city have been appealed to and there are daily arbitration councils. Mean time, there is no work being done on the building. An evening paper comes out with the sensation that two members of the district bench Jfgare to resign. It is rumored that the vacant places are to be filled by two eminent attorneys who have silver proclivities Highest of all in Leavening Power.Latest U. S. Gov't Report and should be kept from going astray. $- It is said in the evening papers that the Spanish have beat a masterly re treat. Perhaps that is all they were able to beat. They may have taken a pointer from the feats of our noble 100. The morning dispatches announce that Spain cannot accept the good of fices of the United States government. Our emiuent but hungry "100" are not like Spain. S* Your Uncle Loren has named May 20 as the proper time for his renomina tion.

One of the strokes of Burdette's pen leaves a mark which is readable from a long range because of its simple truthfulness. "Why do the boys leave the farm?" wails a writer in an agri cultural journal Well, dear brother there are several reasons One is be cause the boy is about 65 years old at his birth. Then if there is a hoe on the farm weighing fourteen ounces, bright as nickel plate and sharp as a razor, and another hoe weighing some what less than a breaking plow with an edge on like a hammer, and a sap ling with the bark on for a handle, the hired man takes one and the boy gets the other, and every man in America knows which is the other. Did you ever stand with such a hoe in your hands away down in a corn row on some airless, still, hot summer day, twenty acres of corn blades a tassels wilting about you standing fourteen inches higher than your head, shutting out company every last trace of breathable air, and hear a locust down in the edge of ifae timber strike up his long, strident, monotonous call to make it ten times hotter? And at this time a cool creek not a mile away, loitering in the deep silent pools in shady places in the woods, or breaking into merry dancing ripples over the pebbles. And in the big, deep holes the fish just lying around -waiting for a boy. Well then you know why some boys leave the farm. Still boys can be kept on the farm and made to stay there all their lives. Dr. Coonej 's Father Dead. Dr. H. C. Cooney was called to Still water Thursday by a telegram an nouncing the death of his father. The St. Paul Globe of Friday contains the following notice: "James Cooney, a well-known resident of Washington county, who has lived here since early in the 50's, died yesterday at Afton of senile debility, having attained the age of eighty-one years. Deceased was born in Ireland in 1815, and spent his early life in England and on the seas, being a member of two whaling expedi tions in Arctic waters. When he came to the St. Croix valley he located at Taylors Falls, but a few months later removed to Afton, where he had since resided. He was married in England in 1845 to Miss Mary Dunn, who sur vives him, together with the following children: Mrs. Ann Parsons, of Afton Miss Ellen Cooney, a teacher in the Minneapolis' schools Thomas Cooney, of Helena, Mont. Dr. H. C. Cooney, of Princeton, Minn., and Mrs. Ed. St, John, of Marine." A New Principal. The board of education met Monday evening and considered the applica tions which have been accumulating on the clerk's desk since the first of the year. As a result of their deliber ations J. H. Arnold, A. B., of Redfield, S. D., was elected to succeed Pg?of. Simpson. Prof. Arnold is a graduate of Iowa State College and has been at Redfield for the past five years as dean of the faculty of Redfield college. Prof. Simpson was not a candidate for re-election, feeling that he could not remain at the salary the board had de cided to pay The board expressed^ re gret at his decision for he has given excellent satisfaction and it was slow to part with him. X\ The festive cycler will no longer har rass the pedestrians. They have been denied the right to use the sidewalks, the ordinance, which appears in an other column, having passed the coun cil at the last meeting. Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE 1 Russell Harmon, of Anoka, was in Princeton last week hiring men to go on the Mississippi for the boom com pany. Russ wanted good men and of course he knew where to get 'em. Foley Bros', barns at Foley were de stroyed by fire last Thursday evening. Six horses, all the harness, and 1,500 bushels of oats, were burned Much difficulty was experienced in saving the remainder of the buildings Every train going north now carries a detachment of river drivers. Logs that have started in the lowet part of the river will give a great deal of trou ble owing to the high water Consid erable "sacking" will be necessary when the water retires A man who has travelled over a large part of the State says he is con" vinced from what he has heard and seen that D. M. Clough will be nomi nated for governor on the first ballot. This is an indication that out prophecy in another column is all right. The State agricultural experiment station has issued bulletin No 44, treating of the fattening of cattle in winter. It shows the results of some experiments which were made this were winter and will prove interesting read ing to the farmers. It will be sent free on application to any one residing in the State. J.

The mill of the Foley-Bean Lumber has been shut down for a number of weeks, but will start up again next Monday or somer time later in the week. The ice is out of the Rum river and the company has a plentiful supply of logs on hand to keepv the mill running night and day. It expects to cut about twenty-five mil lion feet during the season Jjumber man. Mrs. Sarah Hill spoke before a very good audience at the opera house last Monday evening, under the auspices of Calla Temple of Rathbone Sisters. Her address, of course, was upon Pythian matters and was very inter esting. A musical program was given in connection which was well received, especially the number rendered by the Byers children. The society should receive quite a boom from the able manner in which Mrs. Hill promul gated its objects The water in the river reached a very high stage Monday, the road east of the red bridge being flooded to the depth of two feet in some places. The raise was continuous from Saturday night till Monday night when a slight fall was noticeable. At one time it was feared that the West Branch bridge would go, but the ice broke up Sunday and went out without damage. The road across the flats south of town was rendered almost impassable during a part of the day Monday. How dear to our hearts is the old silver dollar, when some kind sub scriber presents it to view, the liberty head without necktie or collar, and all the strange things that to us seem so new the wide spreading eagle, the arrows below it, the stars and the words with the strange things they tell the coin of my fathers, we're glad that we know it, for some time or other 'twill come in right wellthe spread eagle dollar, the star spangled dollar, the old silver dollar that we all love so well.Masonic Journal A week from to-morrow will be Arbor day in Minnesota. Since the inauguration of this day millions of fruit and shade trees have been planted, the one adding to the prosperity of the community, the other to the beauty of the home and both to the comfort of humanity both in winter and summer. There will be no falling off either in the interest or the number who will participate in these exercises this year. But there is no need to confine the planting to that day alone. The sea son is favorable and everyone who can sliould plant as many as possible. Trees grow and in a few years so im prove property that their* value can readily be estimated in money. Let's all observe Arbor day. ttl -M
