Diverting People’s Attention, 3 It amuses thinking men who are not wearing a partisan collar to watch the factional fight that is now being carried on for gubernatorial honors in Minnesota. Each faction claims that the other is run by a political ma- chine, and that if the opposing fac- tion wins the interests of the people will be betrayed. ‘To a non-partici- pant it look as though both factions were fur once telling the truth. For the welfare of the people is not depen- dent upon the character of the man who voc:upies the executiye chair, but upon the kind of men that are placed in*the more responsible positions of railroad’ and warehouse commission ers, judges of the supreme court, and members of the legislature. This great ado is made over the guberna- torial candidate for the express pur- pose of diverting uhe attention of the people from the more important posi- tions referred to. ‘The state's case against’ the merger has been @cided to be one for the state supreme court to deal with, and hence the merger influence is directed towards intensifying the factional tight for the governorship while it is quietly at work to secure the kind of men it wants for the railroad com- mission and supreme court.*: The rail- road interests are exceedingly anxious not to have men in the railroad aud warehouse commission who would be likely to inquire whether railway frieght rates are ‘reasonable or uct. Neither do they want a supreme court compused of men who are nob suse) ceptible to railway iufiuence in inter- preting the meaning of a statuie. ‘That such influences are potent even with the eminent jurists was in- dicated by the position taked by a bare minority in the merger case be- fore the supreme cuurt of the United States. The same facts were rresent- ed to all and yet the general govern- ment won the case by due’ majority, and that by a qualified asseut only. ‘The fact is, the people should see to it that the men placed in official pos sition whose sympathies are with the people and not with the corporations. Trusts and combines have of late years created unforeseen conditions, and itis quite likely that new laws and if need be, new constitutions must be created which will protect the people. It is every citizen’s duty to see that delegates to conventions are right minded and alert regarding aJl the candidates they submit to the approval of volers:—Farw, Stock and Home. ie gee ae A Tribute to Labor. ; J.P. Morgan, the Duke of West- minster and eight other men of great wealth have contracted to pay $130- 000 each for a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens in 130 vol- ums. ‘lhe work will require eight yeur to complete. genuine parchment and famous ar- tists will decorate the pages. A first blush that seems like a great waste of goed woney. And on the second thought one wonders why more rich men do nov invest surplus wealth ou similar lines, The making of those books calls for. skilled labor of the most advanced type. There wili be no place for the bungler or the man who has failed to perfect himself in ‘his trade. There 1s to he no skimping, no make-belive, shoddy, no haste. “Give us the best that is humanly possible andsnever mind the cost,’ is, the order, That is an encouragement for art, for effurt. Men’s brains aud skilled fingers are to be used, and the reward for the talent and genius ‘is to be ample, ce hen the books are done they will count for no more in literture than the cheap volumes of Dickens to be found in any bookstore. — The rest of the investment will be- long to labor. ‘The wonderful bind- ing, the artistic sketching, tlie clear text will al! be monuments to the fine work that is done by man,- ‘The stock will be | i Dickens i is worthy of the finest cloth- |. ing the the brain of man can conceive or the hands of man can form.—St. Paul Dispatch. Mahara’s Big Minstrels. From the Redwood City (Cl.) ‘Times-Democrat, Saturday, Feb.. 6, 1904: What is more entertaining than areal bright oid-time minstrel per- formace, with it: jolly comedians, daneers, both graceful and knock- about, refreshing coon songs, and most momentous orchestra all keep- ing time to the merry jingle and taps of the bones and tambourime. This is the quality of preformance that was given in this city’ on Wedvesday night. Those who wanted an oppor- tunity to laughin the good old fash- ioned, gennioe side-spiltting, hearty style: were given a rare treat, for it has been some time since a genuine minstrel show has played here. The performance was divided into the customary two parts; the first con- sisted uf routine of regular minstrel work under the direction of that prince of, conversationalists, J. A. English, and the second of selected specialty acts only equaled by those gotten off over the Orpheum stage. Of the jesters, Billy McCarver, Gor- don C. Collins and H. M, Price were applauded. Sadie Citizen, Bessie LaBell, Odessia Crosby and Emma Foster were also well received in their vocal selections, the popular melo- dies, “Honey, Will You Miss Me When I’m Gone,” Castle on the Nile,” **Milanda’s Ball,” ‘No Use For Sleep,” ‘same of Hyes,” “If That’s the Land- lord, I Ain’t Home,’ and “Just Plain Folks,” In the second act J. A. English, the marvelous hoop controller, gave a performance, the like of which has never been seen before. His specialty was nothing short of wonderful. He had absolute control of bis large num- ber of whirling hoops at all times, The little dialogue ‘“fhe Maid and the Tramp” was also clever, and Shaw and Jones did some excellent knock- about dances. The final presentation of the sextette was only second to the Floradora contingent and its dashing work was well received. The house was one of the best that has collected in the Alhambra for some time and when the Mahara Min- strels again appear in Redwood they are sure of a warm recption.
