Congressman Lind Returns From a Canadian Trip and Talks on Politics in the Dominion- Regarding Politics at Home He Has Little to Say. Except That He is Going to Drop Out- Congressman Lind arrived home from his western trip Sunday morning. In St. Paul he was interviewed by the re porters and the Pioneer Press of Sun day had the following regarding his views on Canada and commercial union: Congressman John Lind of New Ulm returned yesterday from a month's visit on the Pacific coast. He was accom panied by Congressman C, M. Perkins of Kansas. The return trip was made by way of the Canadian Pacific, and the congressmen nad ample opportunity to study the political situation in Canada and compare the prosperity of the Do minion with that of the United States. Congressman Lind found that the Cana dians were wide awake to the advan tages of commercial union, and wer strongly in favor of it, although the number was smaller that would advo cate annexation. The people, he founu, were more like the residents of the Northern States than the latter were like the citizens of Virginia and other Southern States, and he could find no reason why there should not at least be commercial union. Many of the Cana dians admitted to him that the English population of Canada would be much better situated were their provinces states in the Union instead of provinces under the control of the Canadian gov ernment. They feel that the greatest menace to the cause of freedom in Can ada are the many differences that are constantly arising between the French of the province of Quebec aud the Eng lish speaking people of the gulf provin ces and those to the west of Quebec. These tioubles, they believe, would end in annexation, tor Quebec, as a state in the union, would not be powerful enough to create any disturbance. In speaking of the country he said that he had not found tne same pros perity as there was in this »untry, which fact he attributed largely to the lack of population in Canada. He attri buted this also to a lack of enterprise on toe part of the people, and this was par ticularly noticeable in the mining dis tricts. In visiting the Kootenai mining districts he found that many of the mines have closed since the passage of the McKinley bdl. which places a duty on lead The fact that they did not push their enterprise, he believed, might be due to a lack of capital and the fact that one railroad company has t.,ontrar/ of all the transportation facilities. Vic toria he found to be a thoroughly Eng lish town, and it was growing faster tnan any other town on the coast. In speaking of home affairs the con gressman said I know very little concerning politics but I am not a candidate for re-election or for any other office. I think it is much easier to get out of politics than to get in, and I am going out at the ex piration of my term. If I was to accept any office I would rather represent the Second district in congress than take any other position, but I am through with congress and I have not any idea who will be chosen to fill my seat. As to the senatorial situation I believe that C. K. Davis will be re-elected. There is no question about it if the next legis lature has a Republican majority. And I would as soon see a Democrat get the office as to see another Republican de feat Senator Davis. He will receive the undivided support of the Republicans. Gov. Merriam has received a letter from Judge P. S. Brown, who was the attorney for Rose, condemned for the murder of Moses Lufkin at Redwood Falls. In it the judge begs in the most earnest manner that the death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment, as he states that he feels morally certain that the condemned man is innocent of the crime he stands convicted of. Judge Brown states that he was attorney for Lufkin, and enjoyed his confidence, and that he (Lufkin") had frequently told him that he expected to die a violent death. "Often" he said, "I got up in the night frightened by strange4 sounds with a revolver in one hand and a dirk knife in the other, fearing an attack from my son-in-law, whom I had turned from my house." The judge speaes of his slight acquaintance with Gov. Mer riam and begs that his friends will aid him in his efforts to secure his client's commutation. Great pressure will be brought to bear on thegovernor,and the impression prevails that it is not entire improbable that Rose's, sentence will be commuted. £tk Mr. A. Keller, of St Paul, a job printer, whose work abounds with orig inal and attractive designs which can" not fail to prove satisfactory, has been engaged to remain with the Plaindeal er.—St. James Plaindealer. We have noticed on several occasions that the freight trains in switching are kept standing on the crossings longer than is allowed by the city ordinances. If tbis could be avoided, it would be much more satisfactory to the public. It would be a very commendable step if tne property owners, who live on State Street, would all see fit to lay sidewalks in front of their property and properly boulevard the required portion of the street on each side thereof. The city council refrained from ordering this work done, because the assessments are enough for one year without, but next spring it will have to be done anyhow, and it would be much better if those who are able would complete the work this fall. The street .when completed willbe a fine one, and the sooner it can he'put in shape, the better. John E. Novs, while attending the dedication of the monument at New Ulm recently,took stereoscopic views of the procession in several parts of its march, including the passage under the main arch, the monument at the time Gov. Merriam was speaking, the public park, the court-house, Turner hall, the public school building, and the old post-office building where some of our men did very effective fightin? during the siege of New Ulm by the Indians. These vjews are reminders of what the defenders did at at a criti cal period of Minnesota's history, and Mr. Novs can supply copies of them to all who desire them.—Le Sueur Senti nel To-day there will be solemnized at the Lutheran church the marriage of two of New UJni's popular young people, Miss Meta Behnke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Behnke, and Mr. Louis Vogel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Vogel. The ceremonies will ba performed by Rev. Albrecht after the usual costum of the Lutheran church, and this even ing the happy young couple and their friends will be entertained to a recep tion at the home of the bride's parents. Ot the contracting couple the Re view can onlv say that they are among New Ulm's best young folks, popular in social circles and esteemed for their many estimable qualities. Both are parties whom it is a pleasure to know, and it will afford delight to a host of friends to hereafter know as one, tvo who are in everywhere deserying of a ha^ppy and prosperous union.

Johnson, editor of the St Peter Herald, was at the Merchants Sun day evening, having just returned from a visit to St. Cloud. Mr. Johnson has acquired a local reputation as a mind reader at St Peter and has done every thing which Mind Reader Johnstone claims to be able to accomplish. He has opened several safes in St. Peter, and has, while blindfolded, driven a horse about the streets from place to place determined upon by his companion. In speaking of P. Alexan der Johnstone's exploits Editor John son said that the former was a gieat deal of a fake.He could do no more than hundreds-of other people conld who made the least study of mind reading. It was quite easy, he said, to do these tricks, and since he has given the sub ject his attention he has taught scores of others to do things as difficult as those advertised by the Minneapolis man. Johnstone, he said, might do many of his exhibitions in much less timer than he employed, but he did this simply for effect and nothing more. It was not necessary to faint and be pros I trated for hours.—Pioneer Press. NEW ULM, BROWN COUNTY, MINN., WEDNESDAY, September^ 1891. WHOLE NUMBER A CHANC E FO MINNESOTA. Manager Hunt Thinks the Citizens of the State Will Come to the Rescue. Brown County Takes9 the Lead. Other Counties Do as Well3 Will Manager L, P. Hunt of the Minneso ta world's fair commission was in St. Paul yesterday, says the Pioneer Press of Sunday, and announced positively that Minnesota could have its own ex hibit in the Columbian expositon, and furthermore, could have it in her own state building, provided Minnesota has one. Mr. Hunt had just received a letter from Director General Geo, R. Davis, of the exposition, enclosing a circular which has been issued to an swer many questions relating to domes tic exhibits. It concisely states the rules for the establishment of domestic exhibits and lays down tie regulations adopted by the national commission and the board of directors.The sixth clause of the circular, which covers the case of Minnesota, sa'ys* "State buildings shall be maintained as state or territorial headquarters, under the control of the state board, but subject to the rules and regulations governing the exposition,and shall also, if desired by the state or territory, be used as a depository for a collective ex hibit of such a line as shall best illus trate and exemplify the natural resourc es ot such a state as well as its hisloiical and archaeological features. The final clause was underlined, and in the accompanying letter the statement is made that each state can have its own exhibit in the manner outlined, provid ing that exhibits shall not be catalogued oi considered as competitive, embrace neither manufactured goods nor pro ducts nor processes, and finally, no motive power is to be permitted in the state buildings. Thi3, says Manager Hunt, covers the case of Minnesota and is in line with what the commission has held —that competitive exhibits must go into the national building, but that state exhib its in separate buildings are not prohib ited. Mr Hunt was asked if it was true that several of the members were to re sign at the next meeting of the commis sion, which is to be held this week, but he declined to state whether or not such was the case. He believed, however, that after the next meeting of the com mission the tide would turn and the peo ple of the state would come forward generously and handsomely to render the commissioners all the aid they could. "I saw John Lind in St. Paul this morning," continued Mr. Hunt, "and he tells me that Brown county will raise $500. If all the counties do as well,we shall have plenty of funds." A special from St. Peter says- Three highly sensational suits have been com menced here, and the papers seryed Saturday morning, two of them being in the tar and feathering case which oc cured over in .Le Sueur countv last June. One is by Mrs. Katie Boyd, who was dragged from her bed at midnight, stripped and denuded of her night cloth ing, tied hand and foot, besmeared with tar over her entire person, feathers then applied and the unfortunate woman thrown by her persecutors into the cel lar and left there unconscious. She sues Cornelius Hessian Sr., Cornelius Hessian Jr., Daniel Hessian and Mich ael Hessian and others to recover dam ages in the sum of $25,610. In the se cond action, Mr. Murphy, who is a wealthy and well-to-do farmer, also brings suit in the district court of Le Sueur county for conspiracy and assault and battery and claims $20,000. In his case it is alleged that by force the Hes sians, with others, broke into his dwel ling house at midnight, seized and choaked him, tarred and feathered him, and then threw him into the cellar. The defendants are well-to-do farmers. The other case is an action brought in the district court at Nicollet county for false imprisonment by John Vaughn of Le Sueur county against John Peterson, judge of probate ©f this county, claim, ing $20,000. Some very singular points are involved in this case, one of which is: Can a judge of probate issue a war rant, arrest, commit to jail and fine a party against whom a complaint for in. sanity alone is made, as the constitution restricts the powers of this court exclu sively to "estates of deceased persons and persons under guardianship. It raises a verv grave doubt. whether a judge of probate can act or exercise the jurisdiction attempted to be conferred by the probate code. Hugo Roos was in Winona the great] er portion of the week. &&£S „f si? iS -i° the O O I A% Behnke Manager.
