Lind Will Reorganize the | Grain Department. | DUBBING M’KINLEY ‘EMPEROR’ | | | Phe Fiasco of the Re Election of Gram | Inspector Clausen—Summury of | i Y | | | Results of the Great Chi- cago Meeting. Press Reform Bureau. | -The state political event of the week, and of the whole administra- tion in fact, to this point, has been | the open attempt of two members of the grain and warehouse commission | to thwart reformin that department | by the re-appointment of Chief In- spector A. C. Clausen. The issue of reform has been drawn at this line for so many years, and it had been so taken fer granted that Clausen would go, especially after his condemnation by the Republican legislative inves | tigating committee. and by the state | press regardless of party, that his sudden reappointment created a sen- sation in most quarters. The exeep- tion was with those having inside efforts of the enemies of reform. To these who know the governor it will be sufilcient to say that he promptly informed the grain and warehouse board that under no cir- cumstances would he consent to Mr. Clausen remaining at the head oi the department. If the two mem- bers had reappointed Mr. Clausen. in order to expreis their personal feel- ing toward him, as a mere compli- ment, the governor had no objection} hut he informed them flatly that he should insist upon the displacement of the inspector by one at least in \spmpathy with the purposes of the administration. Governor Lind’s determination to permit nothing to interfere with the {pledge to the people for this reform, if within his power to accomplish it, recognizes the fact that this has been the political aim of the ‘reform forces of Minnesota for a number of years. In 1892 and 1894 it was represented in the campaign made by Hon.S. M. Owen, whose defeat was then ac- complished by means resembling those to which current repc rt ascribes the present effort to retain Inspector Clausen. That Governor Lind re- commended and Commissioner Ring- dahl supported ex-Senator Reishus for Clausen’s place, besides reecogniz- ing his ability and. fitness, was largely in recognition of his connec- tion with the long struggle that has bee: made for such reform Our friends, the enemy, have given | knowledge of how futile would be the} ing reports, bet they will react upon | their own heads. | Eee | Governor Lind’s ietter to Senator | Miller demonstrated, as nothing else could, with what careful scrutiny and | deliberation every bill was considered | that came up for executive approval. |Ip demonstrated, too, that in Joho | Lind the legislative schemers had to deal with a man of eminent ability, a ‘ wyer as well equipped to determiue ' Ube scope and pass. upon the merits of { a public measure as any in the state. * * * To put into a few lines an adequate }summuary of the spirit and results of ‘the Chicago meeting of last week, would be a difficult task for the most |gifted. Sufflce-it to say that there wasa representation of the allied \forees, outside the Democratic or- (gan ion, representing quite as ;inany states as the national Demo- j cratic committee was represented by, | the latter being general. While not | a dissenting voice was heard through- }out the committee's deliberations, ;expressed their, sentiments toward |the new Democracy, by unquestion- lably tendering their aid and co-opera- j tion. This was done by a committee lot the Silver men, consisting of cne | trom each state, Minnesota being represented. The great popular event was the Auditorium meeting, j which for numbers, character, en- | thusiasm and spirit, is id to have | rarely ever, been equalled, even in \that city of great meetings. In fact | the meetihg ran away frum its man- agers, overturned the set programme which provided for covering the yaricus sections, including Minne- sota, and feasted on the national celebrities present. Our great lead- er, Bryan, was the grand, central figure, while ex-Governor Altgeld, as the author of the Chicago Platform, received such an ovation as would re- pay years of almost martrydom ina holy cause. Thanks to the masterly tactis of Mr. Bryan, the great Altgeld- Harrison factional fight shrinks into small consequence, with each faction pledged to the same thing next year —to deliver linois. * * “ | Unswerving devotion to the Chi- cago platform, declaration of war on trusts, uncompromising opposition to imperialism, militarism and all for- eign alliances and entanglemerts, the fixed determination to hold the Mc- Kinley administration to strict responsibility for mal-administration and inetticiency, with an enthusiastic devotion to Bryan, which accepts his leadership as God-given; such is the forecast of the campaign of 1900. #* * * Judging from such representatives of the country press as the Brainerd Tribune, Rep., and the Grand Rapids Herald-Review, Dem., the people of the nerthern part of the state are opposed to the Chicago plan for varv- ing an intmeuse park out of that sec- ° ‘circulation to all manner of mislead-'tion. The fact is that no great area of that portion of Minnesota can be found that does not contain valuable farming lands, water powers, miner- als and timbers, the benefits of which should inure to the people. All these things will have to be considered in carrying out the proposed scheme. * * * Never did Mr. Bryan seem so great, in the opportunity of comparing him with other able national characters. What is the secret of his power? The National Watchman well answers that itis His absolute houesty. He makes no mistakes because he re- sorts to no subterfuge of speech. It is the power of truth. eloquently spoken, by one whois hie of heart as he is able and coutageous, that brings the hearts of millions in rap- port with Bryan. * tie « While Sts Paul gold standard *‘Pros- perity’’ is two more banks less than it was, that of Minneapalis is marked by a decrease of $2,000,000 in the yalu- ation of personal property for taxa- tion over what it was in 1893. The latter is due, The Times says, to “changed business conditions.” The Journal doubtless holds that, along with strikes and other disturbances, it is only another sign of ‘‘pros- perity.” @..8. Ce No writer ‘of the day more often touches the vibrant beart of vital truth than does that Yankee poet, Sam Walter Foss. He sings of.To- dey and its actualties.. He tells us ot things as they are. And because of his blod farce in handling these, he has his following even as he has mission. Many reviled reformers of the present will thank Foss for the following virile verse: The world has had reformers. men who were sternly just, Who smote the thrones of wickedness and laid them in the dust; Meeks tender men, made mighty by man- kind’s blood and tears, Strong men, whose words were thunderbolts to smite the wrong of years. With all these stern reformers of a breed too weak to last, Did all the great wrong-smiters wane and perish in the past? Did they fight a losing battle? Were they conquered in the fray? Why are there no reformers fighting ir the world today? Well, 'tis, but asthing of labels; the reform- ers have not gone, But they're mixing with the people with misleading placards on; For we placard them “fan “tics,” visionaries,” “eranks” and “foois”.— Men denounced by clubs and charches, by the journals and the schools. There are men who bear these placards daily in the market-place, ; Heroes of the ancient lineage, kings and saviours of the race, And we never see their greatness through lifo’s trivial events, But our children’s sons will read it on their granite monuments. ; George A Porter, , of the logging firm of Porter & Seeley, recently made an assignment in Minneapolis. This action was taken for the purpose of winding up the business of the old firm, wes Z ATTENTION TO POKEGAMA. The Most Inviting Resort in Northern Minnesota Has Been Neglected. The good people of Grand Rapids are too unselfish. They do not take advantage of the most inviting oppor- tunities. Pokegama lake 1s largely overlooked, and it is not because our pecple do not appreciate its beauty, size or its inviting contents and en- vironments. There is no more beau- tiful lake in all the state than Pokeg- sma and the people here know it, but yet the great opportunity has been overlookek. Unless special at- tention is paid ‘ to the number of ex- curstonists that visit this section an- nually we will have a very inadequate idea of what it really amounts to n the aggregate. When we visit the lake at this season and see the com- pany of towns-people there camped and then think of the eniertainment they could afford visitors from other sections we come to a sudden realiza~ tion of the good thing that is not taken advantage of. What the citi zens of this village should do, and do at once, 1s_ to build several summer cottages on he beautiful shores so easily reached from Grand Rapids. This idea was suggested by Judge Stlson, who-owns some lots on which he will build one or two cottages, if others will join in the movement to build accommodations for _ visitors. As it is at present, even the hotel men here take their guests out a distance of a dozen or twenty miles for fishing and hunting. Entertain them at Pokegama and let Grand Rapids have the benefiit of the money that is expended. -This is a matter worthy of the serious consideration of every business man in Grand Rapids. Ten or twelve neat cottages at Pokegama would draw many outside visitors. The Foolkiller. The ebullient bard of the Powhat- tan Post warbleth wisely and well. Let the gentle reader of list to his prophetic lay: “The fooi-k iller mopes by his cave in the glen, all the live-long day and night, while his victims throng in the haunts of men and flourish and thrive in their might! The fellow who croaks at another man’s jokes, and laughs in a hilarions tone at every mistake, will simmer and bake when the fool-killer garners his own. The man who talks politics out in the rain, 2nd works for the party’s own good, who yells himself hoarse for some other man’s gain and lets his wife split her own wood; the men who despise the man who allies him- self to the wrong party’s throne, will fry in the blaze in halcyon days when the fool-killer garners his own. ‘Uhe man who trys hard. te show off his shape—the brainless, insipid galoot— who goes to a picnic and putsona cape or a bonnet and trys to look cute, will meet a sad doom in the gatbering gloom, and the world will not sigh at bis moan when he feelg the kerwhack on the small of his : back and the fool-killer garners hig own,” 4
