The hall was well filled with bright men and women, representative of all the business and professional as well as religious and educational organization. The mission of the council is to elevate the status of women and especially to aid the walks of life, and especially to aid the members of the race in the south, to more circumscribed than in the north. The council is a national federation of women of kind and shape, and it is the leaders in these organizations who represent them. The assemblage was composed of as many a body of men and women as could actively, thinking members of the race, to advance of their people, intellectually, industriously politically and religious. The early session was devoted to addresses and responses. Mr. Smith welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city. Rev. J E Mason, of North Caroline, respond- We are glad to welcome you to Minnesota. We rejoice at the progress you made in our work. We are glad to just one way to secure and maintain the place you want among the citizens of this country, and that is by work. It is a space that all must pay for advancement. Harry Shepard welcomed the delegates on behalf of the villains, Rev. R. Porter, on behalf of the ladies, and Rev. Timothy Reeves for the churches. F. Thomas Portacio, chairman of the executive committee, spoke briefly of the work that had been done by the league. THE SCHOOL FOR THE BLACKS Rt. Rev.

Louisville was the next place of meeting, after a lively debate. C. Dancy of North Carolina preplated the warm discussion by moving that the next annual convention of the council be held at Louisville. Ky. C. Dancy of North Carolina decided to hold the conventions in cities or states where there was a "Jim Crow" law. G. W. Clinton of North Carolina came to the defense of Louisville, saying that there was no such regulation in force in that city. He also advised that the conventions be held in cities, because the greater number of colored people lived in that section, and the problems that the council was trying to address arose in the South.

I answer, we must stand firm in demanding the rights anteceded by the laws of this great republic; we must develop and accumulate wealth; fourth, develop morality, put down loafing and idleness; fifth, be a man, be proud of his work, be part in all its duties and responsibilities." The president commended the principle of the Crumpacker bill in response to the last congressional bill for the establishment of a commission to inquire into the conditions of the colored people of the South, and declared his belief that they would ultimately become laws because the sentiment of the Christian people of the country demanded their passage. He also gave considerable attention to the test case begun in the federal courts of Alabama, and defined the validity of the laws of that state practically disfranchise the negro. Continuing, he said: Def more than repaid for the money, expended. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, arrived at the university in 1915, and became the platform amidst the applauses of the students. Defend the Home. Mr. Fortune declared, that he dissented from Booker T. Washington's declaration that he sympathized with the Southern negro "the negro's first duty," said Mr. Fortune, "to protect himself and his colored slaters from the assaults of the white men." Col. Pledger spoke especially with reference to the families of negroes. "No man black or white," he said, "who did not care that it is cared for materially, morally and educationally can expect to hold the respect of the community in which he resides." The white man he must respect colored womanhood, he must be ready to defend, with his life if necessary, the woman under his care. He must be backed up by sentiment.

Time to Do Has Arrived. We have now the opportunity in the twentieth century to take the next step in developing a national petition. We need to develop that spirit of friendly rivalry that manifests itself by the use of force and reach out for something higher and nobler. A most important step, for us, is to be able to work on time, we have examples of arrested civilization.

A resolution was then offered cordially indorsing the coming exposition at St. Louis and then made public, presented in the convention to support it. This proved to be a firebrand. The first delegate to attack a resolution was T. Thomas Fortune of New York. He opposed its adoption, on the ground that no colored commissioners were appointed on the commission board, and that no provision had been made for a presentation of the work and progress of the colored race.

SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1902. The gathering of two of the Afro-American national organizations in St. Paul last week was an event of very considerable interest to Afro-Americans and to the whole people, as well. They brought together a large number of the thinkers and workers of the race, though, owing, doubled, to the distance of St. Paul from the thickly populated portions of the country, the number was somewhat smaller than it would have been in some city easier of access. It may be said, however, that the reception and treatment accorded the members of the National Afro-American Press Association and National Afro-American Council by the press and the people of the Twin Cities has never been equaled anywhere during the lives of the organizations. The homes of the people were thrown open to all comers and the various daily newspapers vied with each other in reporting the proceedings of the meetings. Special photographs of both organizations were published together with numerous portraits and sketches of the more prominent personages in attendance.

He was interrupted by prolonged applause, when he said: "It should be gratifying to us to know that we have in the White House a man who is President of all the people, who is broad enough to take counsel with Booker T. Washington, and who is courageous enough to denounce lynch law and mob violence." In the death of William Still, who was widely known as the father of the "underground railroad" the race loses one of its strong men. At the time of his death, which occurred in Philadelphia Monday, Mr. Still was 80 years old and left a fortune of about $1,000,000. He was a born slave but helped more than 10,000 slaves from bondage to freedom "over the "underground railroad." "Character Building," by Booker T. Washington, Just published by Doubleday, Page & Co., New York, is made up of a selection of practical simple addresses which Mr. Washington has delivered on Sunday evenings to the students of Tuskegee Institute. The Republican party has not done anything that it ought to have done so far as the race is concerned, but it is safer to trust than the Democratic party, which has opposed every movement for the amelioration of the condition of the Afro-American. The Democrats thought they would bring out the anti-trust issue for the fall campaign, but President Roosevelt jumped their claim.

Colored Man in Business **Colored Man in Business.** Colored Man in Business by Emmett Scott was of especial interest, owing to the fact that Mr. Scott, who is a long-time employee of the Negro Business Men's league, recently found himself in Jackson. The aim of the society is to encourage the engagement in commercial enterprises. Chairman Scott reported that during the last three months he come in contact with 3,328 colored business men in states and 39 different lines of trade, doing a business of from $30,000 to $55,000, although the average is much lower. The council transacted a large amount of business at Barnett's centers at the afternoon session.

He has recognized the same recognition and protection from the authorities to other citizens under like circumstances, battles liberty never go backward, battles liberty never go backward, Declaration of Independence, the emancipation and give liberty to the slave.

The musical program which was prepared for the night meetings was very well received, and some of the best numbers were cut out. Mr. Claude Jackson, the director of the choruses at the night meetings, made an excellent solo work. The Halleluj Chorus and the Last Chord were artistically rendered and gave evidence of the masterful work of Mr. Jackson. The singing of Mr. Cyrus Field Adauney was a sensible surprise to everybody and he made a hit and was the only one to respond to an encore. It was something of a novelty to have a song rendered in French, German and English. Paul came to the front nobile in the manner in which the various organizations sent delegates.

For sixteen years, against much opposing causes, Frederick Douglas demonstrated that the Afro-American was equal to the man in conducting a useful and popular In 1850, the name of the North Star was changed to the name of Frederick Kirkpatrick, a man who was unable until it was able to chronicle the emancipation of the slaves. It war then discontinue having a simple fight, but the slaves, who fought, should receive the power of this noble band of men who sacrificed themselves upon the editorial altar for the race. They were poor in pocket, their talents, their money, were freely given that we might enjoy the fruits of their labor. They were unimpedance and enchancement, and that they hoped to see the direct results of their works, yet some of them were imprisoned and enthralled, and thirty-five years after, see the Afro-American making progress along lines that were booked for, unthought of before the war. Mr. Adams gave some statistics about the American race along educational lines. He also called attention to the fact that he have gained possession of 1,000,000 acres of land in a generation. Throughout the latest statistics, according to the latest statistics, 1,410,700 Afro-American heads of families, 242,838 own their homes and a large age this means power and prestige. National Disgrace. "It is a noticeable fact that while the infamy of mob law has apparently been overcome, if that were possible, not only in the Southern states, which may be regarded as the storm center of civilization, the national sentiment against it becomes stronger and more asserted, the governor in the South, the Gov. Longino, of Mississippi, has taken such a strong position against mob law as to have made the majority of the people of the republic, and to discourage those who incline to the mobocratic mania. While continue to be active by whomsoever committed, the Afro-American press, as been and is forged at an earlier administration of the law." The musical program for the evening session was one of the thuest even heard in St. Paul as follows: PROGRAMME EVENING SESSION - 7:30 O'Clock, PIPE STREET, St. Paul, March 14 - Dedicated to John Quincy Adams, St. Paul, Minn. - Chorus - "Hall to the Chief," Boat Song - "Prout," St. James A.

Such nice execution, daintiness of sentiment and expressed power in every number is seldom heard in so young an organization as that which was under the grand chorus from Faust which capped the climax terminated which taken all in all, was perhaps the most enjoyable program ever given in Pilgrim church. Mr. French's interpretations are so artistic and his insistence on the fact that he particularly noticeable. Mr. French merits more than a passing notice in his adaptability as a director and his name may properly be classed with the leaders in voice culture. Mr. French does not claim to be a professor of mechanical dentistry and caters only to the dental profession. Of course the St. James A. M.

Misses Edna Grey and Evelyn G. Hickman crowned themselves with glory in their piano duet. Both are冠中冠. Mr. Weir deserves special mention for the artistic rendition of his excellent composition. PRESS ASSOCIATION NOTES. Rev. McDaniels addressed the Throne of Grace at the evening session. Pilgrim church never held a larger finer looking nor more highly delighted audience than at the evening session. The pastor and members of Pilgrim are entitled to much praise for the reception accorded to the association. A note of thanks was tended for the same. The symposium of rapid fire three minute speeches was great. All named the program were not perplexed to speak to others, but those who were heard all right and met with hearty applause. Everyone was delighted with the evening meeting. The patience of the large audience Monday night was very commendable to it and complimentary to the association in view of the fact that it relied on the speaker having to stand during the whole time.

She was born near Chewsville, Washington Co., 1836, and was married to Robert Mackey, October 1852. Age 66 years. Since early childhood she has been a resident of Hagerstown, Md., and had lived in the house where she died in 1862. She lived life she became a Christian, and joined A. M. E. Church, of which she was a faithful member until death. The church and community suffers a great loss by her death, which touchs her heart. She has been loved, respected and honored for her sterling integrity as a Christian of personal plea and genuine benevolence, and as a wife and mother, in the sacred precinct of a cultured and beautiful home life. She is a devoted woman, ever ready to help the needy, and to assist in every good work, a kind and loving wife and mother, ever thoughtful of others, full of sympathy for all suffering, keenly responsive to the life of the church a lovely friend and a humble disciple of the Lord Jesus.

HATTIE NEWMAN. FINE SHOWING OF BANKS OF ST. PAUL. The healthy condition of St. Paul's finances is demonstrated by the abstract issued by the comproller of the currency, taken from the returns of notices dated April 30, 1892. St. Paul's account holds a position in the matter of increase of bank deposits, the comparison between 1892—one of the biggest and best business years the country has even known—and the current year shows an increase in deposits. 1892 being $1,451,512 as against $24,780,000 for the present year. One of the phenomenal instances of individual growth is that of the St. Paul National bank, which shows a 40 percent increase in total deposits, giving total deposits at the time of issuing, the latest statement of $2,425,748.30. This is by far the best showing made by any of the St. Paul national banks, and is therefore among the other national banks an almost shown by each, the smallest being 40 per cent. Altogether St. Paul's showing is decidedly creditable and indicative of an extremely healthy condition of mercantile affairs. **BULL CON ALWAYS LANDS 'EM.** When a man is compliments, he may not swallow it all, but he thinks there is something in it—Aitchison GOV.

But the interest is to cut off the coupons. But more valuable than the bonds, even, than the interest, from counties, cities and townships. I say more valuable because the interest is higher and the rate of interest higher. The amount loaned since Jan. 1, 1801, is in excess? If so, keep the Republican party in power. THE STATE PRISON AND BINDING TWINE PLANT. During the time the management of the state prison, especially in connection with the binding twine plant, contained the prison party that it was grossly mismanaged, and we promised, if given the opportunity, firmly to institute the same excellent condition in which our political enemies Upon investigation it was found that unfavorable conditions existed in the prison plant, then just closed, had not only resulted in a loss to the state, but that the prisoners had been carried on had proven very unsatisfactory. DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT. The principal complaints against the democratic management of the state prison plant, briefly stated were as follows: The prison twine was sold to the farm crates had full charge of the prison) 10 cents per pound. This price being 2 hours could have bought their twine for local dealers. Democratic management did not guarantee prices, as former administrations had always done, or as the present administration had done, both last season and this season. This being the case, the option of canceling an off, they were obliged to take the twine either they had any crops to bind or not. Much of the twine made was inferior in these cases, unveneous, unoven, bunchy and overgrown, withlith. In the operation of the twine plant during the season of 1900 (the Democratic administration of 1900) the twine plant was not only a detriment to the actual purchasers of the twine, in that it cost consumers per pound more than they could have bought it for elsewhere from local consumers of twine throughout the state for the reason that instead of tending to the plant, they had to intoactive competition with independent cordage manufacturers, it kept prices up and the state also lost money under the Democratic administration of 1900 by the liberator at the closing period of that season, which had to be carried over and manufactured by the discovery of a plot on the part of two officers of the prison to assist the institution. The discovery of a plot having been made within three days after the discovery of the officers were arrested and both convicted of the crime, one sentenced to the state prison, and the other to pay a heavy fine. The sale of the binding twine to con- form the state of the Democratic management in 1900, which amounted to something over 5,000,000 more than they were purchased more than they were paid for their local dealers; at the same time, that the twine was inferior in both grade and quality. The complaints as to the management of the twine came from some of the best farmers brought to the state, and these complaints party affiliations; viz. that the prices were too high; that they were not allowed to purchase the twine; that the twine was inferior in grade and quality, that they were obliged to take it from the farmers; or not; that the twine plant instead of the state as managed, was a positive detriment to them. REPUBLICAN MANAGEMENT. I am in making such changes in the board of directors of the reappointment of Warden Wolfer to that appointment on March 1501, but there had already been a factured. Much of the twine made and was found upon examination to be inferior in quality, that there was about $80,000 in notes, to the former administration, which fell due to the preceding November, still uncollected. The new management set about to remodel the warehouse and these were overcome as expensively as possible, although some of the poor stock of last season, or up to March L. 1901, when the new warden took charge, together with the new manager, made it very difficult to dispose of last season's product, and in order to displace it, the new manager, of the entire output Warden Wolfer was obliged to hire a large number of travellers and the twine gave general satisfaction, except the poor twine that was made at the end of 1901, some of which were carried to, or before the change took place. GREAT SAVING TO THE FARMERS. The warehouse, manufactured in the season of 1901, some 3,800,000 pounds were sold to the jobbers, some 280,000 pounds were sold to the dealers, following prices, viz. 64% cents per pound for mixed twine, and 84% cents per pound for pure Manila; an average of the prices at which twine was sold, below the quality was sold by the jobbers and managers, which would make the prices at which twine was sold over $1,000,000 to the consumers of the state prison twine. The cost caused by the state prison twine at these figures also was sold in the state by other, manufacture which resulted in a benefit to the consumers of binding twine in the state gen- The profit on binding twine last season amounted in round numbers to $333,000. The profit after all expenses had been borne incident to the conduct of the twine plant. DAIRY AND FOOD DEPARTMENT. The dairy and food department is one of the largest and most important present commissioner and his inspectors is doing most excellent work, and its presence is being the past eighteen months have been invaluable. There are at present four cheese shops, and the cheese industry is also in a most flourishing condition; about twenty-five cheese shops are spring; in all we have some 700 cream-filled and more than one hundred cheese shops; and there are spectors have made hundreds of visits to state, district and county dairy conventions and gatherings, and have given them insights to those engaged in this line of work. It is a pleasure to state that the dairy department does share knowledge and accomplish this result. The dairy interest has added materiality to the wealth of the agricultural classes, and it is not quite $290,000,000. Let me give you some idea of the work during this admittance. There have been, in order to ascertain whether articles of food and drink were requested, in 10,410 analyses made. In addition the result has been forwarded to the person who requested it. The case was requested, or the merchant from whom the article was taken by the in-venture, and one most unpleasant was that making prosecutions for violation of the prosecutions there were in all the possible point in connection with the public good. Whenever the health and safety of the people were without prosecution it was the policy of the department to do this, but at no time guilty offender been allowed to escape. M. 1890 M. GOV. VAN SANT. The recognized ability with which the state has been conducted has placed the State in among the first in importance of the lead-up to the insurance in the matter of insurance supervision. There has been collected and turned in the State in 1, 1901, in the way of taxes and fees, to $450,000 exceeding the receipts of any period by many thousands of dollars. All laws prohibiting combinations in the interests of our citizens, have been enacted. In his annual report of the present year the commissioner publishes a list of thirteen concerns which are not worthy of passage, and advises that any parties involved in the matter should secure or placing of business with said unauthorized companies would be subject to attention is also cited to the fact that the farmers' township mutuals of Minnesota most eminently successful and profitable by the farmers of the state, and that the latter, in consideration, not alone for the very same purpose, policy holders or members, which amount on account of the thousands, but also on account of the thousands, marked characteristic of their business, is estimated that the existence of these 4 ge BRIEF HISTORY OF TWINE PLANT One hundred and fifty thousand dollars was originally provided by the state legislature for revowing fund for carrying on the twine plant, and most inspectors have since been made except such as were necessary to buy new machinery for the revowing fund of the twine plant from time to time. Under Republican management the revowing fund was $800,000, and has made money every year from the time of its establishment down in the year 1900 under Democratic rule. Behold the contrast! Under Democratic management the farmer who purchases the twine loses money and has a poor quality of goods; the state and farmer both make money and the twine is of a superior quality. Unaccomplished by placing at the head of the prison a thorough business man and one who is a superior man, he does not help. Do the people of our state desire to return to the unbushelslike methods of the former to make a lamentable failure of this department. The system of grain most capable inspectors are employed and the grading is so uniform that few inspectors are employed in the department the closest supervision is con Defective Page Again, the home manufacturers' and companies has been the means of saving the farmers in Minnesota the enormity of the enactment of the statute permitting and thorizing their organization. BOARD OF CONTROL The board of control will, I am led to believe, make a most excellent showing to the public. It has had many difficulties to meet and many prejudices to overcome. It has had no precedents to guide it. The road was one. The greatest source of trouble has been the lack of educational endeavoring to manage the same institution. In such cases there is always a place where the authority of the one ceases and should be remedied. In my judgment educational institutions should not have been the intention of those originally favoring a board of control plan. It is not for the board to have the time to do the extra work which this entails upon it. The board has not the time to do the same respect, and no doubt other changes will need to be made from time to time. My judgment, will grow in public favor. GAME AND FISH BUREAU OF LABOR On our statute books are some of the very best labor laws. Our state received as first prizes at the Paris expiration in 1881 for the best labor laws, and a diploma from the university for the best labor law, and a diploma from the capital, certifying to these cases the many labor laws that we can point to, those relating to child labor; laws for the employment of children and prohibiting or in immoral occupations; laws for the protection of the health, lives and limbs in inspection law; laws for the protection of railway, employers; the eight-hour law; laws for the inspection law; laws for the protection of this department during the year 1881 in inspection of 3,647 establishments, employers, and workers. It was been issued for the protection and safeguarding of machinery and for improving mills and workshops. The inspectors of institutions along the scientific systems of drainage and inspection has gone the collection and the investigation into all departments of labor; hence investigations that this department is making into the conditions surrounding the usual approval throughout the state, and has attracted much attention in other laboring people for the express purpose of enforcing hereafter, enacted for the protection of the thousands who go to work, the working people. It has been my desire, and my instructions to the department, to see that the work of the bureau has been administered for the purpose for which it DRAINAGE By an act of the last legislature an appropriation of $30,000 was made for drainage and erosion control commission, composed of the governor, the state senator, and five members have taken the necessary steps to make the same effective. Several ditches are constructed under the appropriation are completed by the end of the entire work will be completed by the end of the next year to measure the benefits derived from the appropriation. The acres of land belonging to both states to settlers have been much improved and the waste land has been reclaimed. The people living in the section of state where the appropriation has been made are reason to thank the Republican party for inaugurating and continuing this work. Probably no subject which now confronts the people of our state elicits more interest than that of taxation. It is a matter of fact that our tax laws are inefficient and that the state has very large percentage of taxable property. The fact that it is practically impossible to frame a perfect case of tax measures, the very large percentage of taxable property, the primary purpose of tax legislation, which is to place upon the state the same time it is important to frame the same time it is important to distribute the burdens justly and equitably. The same time it is important to frame the great business interests which have the most conspicuous states of the Union. The most conspicuous states of the Union will be unjust to these interests or unjust to their prosperity. However, they taxation and thus assist in the maintenance of the state as an equivalent for those interests by the laws. At the last session of the state legislature, it was prompted that constitutions limited the people amendments to sections one, two and three of article nine of our constitution. Without entering into a detailed discussion of the measures, I desire to heartily commend the measures to the voters of our state and to urge the voters of our state to attend the next election there is also to be held. At the next election there is also to be held that the voters of our state for their approval or rejection a certain nominee at the last general session of our state's congress.

The modern tendency is that revenues should be raised for the state otherwise than by personal property. If these amendments carry a long step in that direction might be placed upon our statute books many tax measures of vast benefit to the people, the welfare of the state that I earnestly urge every voter to bear in mind on close examination of voting for the proposed amendment, the will not close without calling your attention to a question of the very greatest importance in the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railway Northern Securities company of New Jersey was organized to acquire a control of companies in exchange for its own stock, and it was through this company that the unity of management was to be ef- The supreme court of the United States has jurisdiction in the case brought by the State of Iowa sota, but this did not discourage the Attorney General to associate counsel, and suit was committed in the courts.

SENATOR NELSON'S ADDRESS And their program and policy was, as a result, sified by the declarations, promises and animus of their standard bearer. What they may have there in mind may in any way imply that the platform cleared up and made plain by the candidate it was at this juncture, and under party control, ever mindful of the welfare and best interests of the American people, the defense of gauges, money, declared its readiness to foster and protect, in harmony, the defense of labor and to protect and defend both health and lawlessness and disorder. It was not only that job involved in that campaign the Democratic party felt confident of success, for at the outset it captured the masses of the people. And there were many good men in the countryside and fearful of the result. The very boldness and revolutionary character of the candidate were paralyzing and awe-inspiring. But the Republican party, under the men-William McKenzie-opened and carried on a campaign of education, and appalled to the science and good sense of the American people. Loyalty to the true interests of the people was the foundation and sober judgment of the masses were the fountain and cornerstone of the Re- Time and more than five years of Representation, she emphasize the great advantages and the great blessings that have come to the Republican party. But the Republican party has not only stayed the hand of the destroyer, it has also become the hand of the destroyer, its degree, by judicial legislation and administration, fostered and promoted the life and development of the country. The Democratic tariff law of 1854, legislation, bred industrial stagnation, and was also insufficient as a revenue provider, 1859, passed at a special session called by President McKinley for that purpose. Whatever criticism may be pronounced on some of the provisions of this act—all criticism—it is certain that but for the then unforeseen Spanish war, it would have revenue for its current war. It is also certain, and amply demonstrated by our country has enjoyed the greatest most pronounced commercial and industrial and continued prosperity in all our history. Our total foreign commerce—exports—a period of five years—amounted to $82,278,755,620, with a balance of trade in imports—a period of five years—amounted to $21,230,181; while our total foreign commerce from 1897 to April, 1902, a period of four years—a period of five years—amounted to $477, with a balance of trade in our favor, upon the same, of the enormous sum of imports—$99,384,291, with $59,384,291, in kind and immense great of our foreign trade—especially the great balance in our favor—that has alarmed the people of the world.

The products of the farm and factory, under the momentum of enlarged commerce, resting from a good home and from a strong force all countries of the civilized world. We are the owners of our production over the home market. The domestic trade of our country since the 19th century has been revival and increased productive capacity; has more than kept pace with our foreign trade and is abundant; and labor finds its place in greater force and volume. Capital has more and is still abundant; and labor finds its place in greater wages. And in many industries the demands outruns the productive capacity. Many mills and factories have received orders which they can be filled. And there have been many instances and localities where the high degree of prosperity among people has the more remarkable because of the occurrence of many of the countries of the Old World which is attested by the fact that immigration is pouring to our shores from countries in greater volume than ever.

Sherman antitrust was enacted, both monopolies and combinations in restraint of trade, in interstate commerce, which law monopoly legislation on our federal statutes. In passing upon cases brought under the law, the supreme court of the United States has ordered the Federal Constitution congress has no power to regulate combinations or combinations as distinguished from combination or monopoly traffic, and no power to regulate or control combination or monopoly in other combinations or monopoly or regulating combinations or monopoly in manufacture and local traffic in several states and not in the federal government. the light of these facts that these necessities the subject, and with a view of giving power to control monoclinies and hostile communities, and to hostile committee of the house of representatives a joint resolution to the Constitution of the United States. Section 1. Congress conferred by this article shall extend to the several states, the territories, the District of Columbia, the states, the states, the states, the states, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Congress shall have power to define, regulate, control, prohibit, or dissolve trusts, monopolies or otherwise. The states may continue to exercise such powers by law in conflict with the laws of the United States. Sec. 3. Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this article by passing laws. When this resolution was put on its passage on May 31, 1900, nearly every Democrat voted against it. It failed to pass for want of two-thirds majority, and the United opposition of the Democratic party. Our state legislature, when the Republican executive, for the purpose of preventing a monopoly in railroad transportation, in 1874, passed the following "No railroad corporation, or the lessees, purchaser or managers of any railway, or the stock, property or franchise of such corporation with, or lease or purchase, the works or franchise of, or in any way control other any railroad corporation ownership or competing line; nor shall any officer or such railroad corporation, act as an owner or having the control of a parallel or competing line, and the question whether railroad companies and the question whether railroad companies shall, when demanded by the complaining or having the control of a parallel or competing line, in in other civil issues." And in 1851 the swinging law. No railroad corporation shall consort with lease, or purchase or in any way become the owner of or control any other railroad corporation, or the rights or property thereof which owns or controls a parallel or competing line." The referred to, clearly express the public and the public demand; and you are all matter of public history—that President Lincoln suffered the federal law, nor Gov. Woodrow Wilson, to remain obsolete or a dead letter, justified in saying to you that neither of these high executive officials have been entitled to hostility to our railroads or their able and public-spirited managers, but only by the authority on our statute books which laws they have oath to support. The builders of our vast railroad systems in the Northwest have a most task and rendered a most muble. in settling and developing our great domain. They have followed with swift ardor and often preceded them. They have been many burdens and encountered great hardship and often faced fair transportation activities within the easy reach of nearly all in the farthest corners. We are beckoning in this respect they are fast supplying. In energy, perseverance and stamina, we stand and stand to none of their knit in the entire country, and as such we are to them and wish them no harm; but wish to live in harmony and in co-operation.

ANOTHER GREAT CHAPTER of Republican history remains to be told. When President Obama took the duties of his high office, the oppressed and downdropped people of Cuba had been forced to secure their independence. Cleveland's struggles to shake the yoke of Spain and to secure their independence Cleveland's appeals for assistance and had given them no material or moral aid. But the civil war would ultimately have occurred in Havana harbor in February, 1898. That cruel and unprovoked act, the possible force, brought on a Spanish war, for which we were poorly prepared. But the patriotism of the people and our country was not such were such in a few weeks we were in full battle array, both on land and, or And the war, begun at Manila on the 1st day of May, was ended at Santiago on the 16th day. Spain and most decisive. Spain renounced her rights to Cuba and ceded to us the Philippine islands and Porto Rico. The people of these islands were forever relieved of their captivity. And what have we not done for poor, bleeding Cuba. The ten-year insurrection of 1968, the blood and blood. A calm, born of despair, had supervised for a few years. Then, the people had again taken up arms for their independence, and had bravely struggled against the oppressive aspects of success. And it was then that our nation came to their relief and smote the people of Cuba. So swift sure and decisive, which forced us to rule of Spain in the Western Hemisphere. In people the Cuba stood in great need of their fortune. But they could fairly come to their own, before they could secure a stable government. And this assistance we have given them with a most intelligent and generous government, or law or order. Their lands and their farms were devastated, disasters, helpless, aimless and many more reeking with poverty, fifth pestilence. The mass of the people were puprified, helpless, aimless and many more reeking with poverty, fifth pestilence. of these documents for the duals of these The problem was even more pressing in pine islands than Porto Rico, more brutal and cruel because the people were not of African descent, in part civilized, were composed of people from many tribes—from the savage Moros and Abubecle and dwarfish Negrites to the Toucanians in self-government, or indeed any government at all, save the despotism of Spain. To abandon these unutored and heterogeneous Spanish brutality seemed rather cruel and shocking to our sense of right and justice, and to their then condition and helplessness, to themselves seemed even more reckless would have led them irresistibly into dire confusion, chaos and self-destruction, and exploitation by one or more of the great powers of Europe. Strong fleets of forerunners could move to move in the moment we moved out. A great nation can no more afford to evade or shirk a great moral responsibility, and the science of a republic as ours is but the counterpart of the conscience of the people, incarnate and unmarnished. There is no course, under the stress of the facts, to 1910 taken. And that way to accept in cohesion talk, to accept in cohesion, to accept in and establish law an order and a good law. President McKinley was at first loath to impose a moral problem in all its length and comprehended it, the path of justice and the duty of duty seemed plain to him. He was no more courageous or responsible for the unresolved conflict, he never falter, never shirk and never trim. He was the master of the Philippine islands and to the entire civilized world to do just what we have rendered our nation a moral imbecile to the enlightened nations of the world. A year ago our army in the islands there is now, and by next fall expect to receive our force to 12,000 men. A year ago this troops were stationed on 469, at this time ber is only 245, and, deducting from this there are but 100 left, and these greatly reduced if more extensive quarries are built in the larger towns. In the meantime the Taft commission, we have successfully ordered and order, in most of the provinces. In thirty-five provinces civil governments successfully, chiefly under native officials in nine provinces civil government is successfully carried on under military authority. In thirty-five of the provinces a system of teachers, thus affording the people with nearly 1,000 Americans and 4,000 teachers, thus affording the people they have never enjoyed before. This eager to attend the schools and to learn English and learn quickness of mind. There are too-day teachers in 200 towns and villages where there is not a single American soldier, barbarian tribes and bands, and the La-mer and law and order civil government prevails. A civil government more just and liberal than ever enjoyed under Spanish rule. Under a liberal tariff law, enacted by the Rhode Island commission, all natural and supplemented by an act of congress at this session, which eliminates the basic factions of Spanish colonies and revenues will be received to cover all expenses of the government of the islands, including the maintenance of the system of public schools, the improvement of the highways and harbors and the necessary sanitation of the country. This free distribution of land, in fee, under the Spanish law will do more than anything else to make the mass of the people in the country sense of ownership be a love of peace and ownership for law and order, with land ownership, for law and order, with schoolships, and improved means of communal living for people who become pro-public and lifted for local self-government. What is it that we have done, and in the immediate future aim to do, and who came to us as a legacy from Spain. In our efforts to pacify, to civilize and to educate, we have cent efforts of legislation in their behalf, as you all know encountered the bitter, as you all know encountered the able opposition of the Democratic party in Spain. They would have us lay down our task of justice and duty and would have us work hard and honestly, in a state of economic and political unity in a state of economic and Those islands, which some of the Democracy, by their votes, for both treaty and invasion, those islands, which our brave and valourous army and navy have occupied last three years, now that the hard drudgery has been done and peace, with the people of been victorious and the people are about to reestablish theborn to a newer and better life, now, when all this great and necessary preeminence and fiercer than ever, thus preach the gospel of scuttle and abandonment louder and fiercer than ever, thus results that have been accomplished and declaring it all fruits and a failure, preservation of the Union a failure in 1864. After acquiring the islands by as valid treaties, we are obliged to acquire any of our territorial acquisitions after pouring out our blood and our treasure with well-nigh one accord, we are to treat them as a stranded wreck, as though we ourselves had been the them, and are to cast them adrift as they are, and to cast them as the latest gospel of the militant Democracy. What the American people have, in bed with their valor, their treasure and their blood, accustomed, and held, they will never permit 1865 to take them. The task which under a high sense of justice and duty they assumed in 1888 was to goodenish the military injury in traducing our army by hunting its cases and instances where some of our officers and soldiers were cruelty and savagery of the enemy, have transcended the methods of civilized warfare and soldiers have transgressed on the rules of war can have no valid bearing on the conduct of war, and soldiers have transgressed on the rules of war can have no valid bearing on the conduct of war by isolated cases, and yet no one ever undertook to measure the justice of that war by isolated cases of great army. Neither it appeared or been shown that the president or the war was guilty before military courts, for investigation, trial and punishment, all cases of civilized warfare brought to their attention. These Democratic efforts to besmarch on the enemy, to exploit a few of the shortcomings, to exploit the manifold patience, its valor and its manifold acts of generosity and kindness, manifest a fear of the enemy, of any negligence of the president or the chief minister, the premises, Kirkley had himselfristified in war, was familiar with all hardships and, drawbacks, and was a fine man, someone hearted man. The same is of the President for neither of them would for a moment tolerate or permit to go unpunished any acts of violence or rules and customs of civilized warfare. WORSE THAN UNPATRIOTIC. it is positively cruel to our army. The lot of them is to be punished and trying. His scanty pay is no stimulant. It is the fact that he carries the thority of our country in places where without him neither would exist that he is the most thrifty of our country in places where and danger. As our soldiers cluster around their bivouac at night after a long, weary suit of a treacherous jungle in pursuit of a treacherous footnote and too tired with a scant supper, footnote and too tired to come up one thing above all that cheers and commends him, that their country upholds them, cherishes and loves them, and takes a heart to their country. Their heart is wholly theirs for weal or woe. To deprive the soldier of this cheer and treasure, and the American people will never, for one moment, appreciate or tolerate him. He will assail our army assailus our flag, and be indicted and dear to every lover of his country. "Brave boys are they, gone at their count. And we shall never cease to cherish their patriotism, their bravery, their forbearance and their faithfulness. The prosperity of our country at home and abroad under the leadership of President Roosevelt is our greatest publican party. We shall meet and sue cessfully solve the Philippine problem, as we have seen. We have also faced many other great problem we have been confronted with since 1896. We shall in the next chapter discuss good government as firmly in the distant past, and the problems of oppressed and downtrodden humanity will repress and downtrodden humanity the great republic of the West. The Platform The following is the platform in full: The Republicans of Minnesota, assembled in convention rearm the form adopted by the Republican convention, convened in Philadelphia in 1800, and pledge anew their support to its principles. We support William McKinley. As a citizen, soldier and statesman he yielded his best service to the nation and the people of the world and is enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen. He is the able and patriotic administration of President Roosevelt. We are proud of his many courage, his purity and his country, and pledge him as the earnest support of the Republicans of Minnesota in all his efforts to succeed the people at home and the glory of the republic abroad. It is therefore the sense of success he ushered in as president of the United States. The Republicans of Minnesota lament the death of their peers after and statesman, Cushman of Minnesota, and most trusted statesman, beloved by the people had won an enduring fame by his illustrious success, save his memory and deeply his loss. We congratulate the people of Minnesota on patriotic and businesslike administration of the state. We especially commend the conscientious and faithful supervision by the officials of the state. Our official efforts have been continually directed to an earnest and upright administration of Merger. It has been the settled policy, as declared in the Constitution, that competing lines of railway shall be allowed to believe that the protection of the citizen and his health is safety of the state, rests in obedience to law, safety of the state, rests in obedience to law, safety of the state, rests in obedience to law, Sant in his effort to consolidate the consolidation of competing lines of railway. Taxation The Philippines We indorse the course of the administration of the establishment in the Philippines of civic institutions in the Philippine islands. We favor the policy of encouraging the participation of civic institutions in the Philippine islands in their domestic government to the largest extent practicable by the extent of the capacity, awareness, intelligence, capacity and a desire for such The Army and Navy. We condemn those who continue to resist the authority of the United States, either openly or secretly, and we condemn strongly the malignant attacks upon our army and navy which have won for the people of the United States, or domestic or domestic soil, impermissible fames. Protection We adhere to the policy of protection. Under it our industries have developed, the on-ground and the on-air our country has passed from a state of burden andness depression and terrible suffering to the most remarkable and prosperous state in the world. We treat that protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy and success, or in other words, the correct application of reciprocity is protection. Under this doctrine we favor such modifications in our stuff schedules as are or may from time to time be changed by changes in duties to remove any burdens from our people and to hold and extend our trade among Reciprocity. We heartily favor the wider extension of our work and the full range of all American products. To this end we endure a policy as defined by President Roosevelt in his annual message to the Fifty-seventh congress: "Our first duty is to see that the protection granted by the tariff in every case where it is needed is maintained that reciprocity be maintained; it can be done without injury to our home industries." And defined by our late lamented president William McKinley, we extend the pledge to the people at Buffalo when he said: "By sensible trade arrangements which will curb our home production we should extend our trade to the people at Buffalo. We should take from our customers such of their products as we can use without harm to The New Republic of Cuba. We congratulate the new republic of Cuba on its independence and the earth. We wish it for peace, prosperity and a long and successful national career. We thank President Roosevelt, by a plan which shall ensure the profitable interchange of commodities, insure to the advantage of both nations the ability to meet the needs of the chief benefit of which shall not enrich trusts, which shall not interfere in our home production. Trusts. We recognize the necessity of co-operation in order to meet new conditions in the industrial world's markets; but the combinations which suffice competition, limit production, control prices, or unduly increase prices or values, which are necessary for the necessities of life, are opposed to public policy. We flavor legislation, national and state, to prevent such abuses. We approve of the single tax on all employers, the rent and Gov. Van Sant to enforce the laws and demand that all administrative officers enforce the law in the most vigorous manner. We require the law to be comprehensive shall not be embarrassed or destroyed. Finance Our faith in the gold standard and the financial amity has been amply justified by the wonderful strides made in commerce, and commerce, and in the universal confidence, and in the ability of the government to meet every exigency. Penalons. We recognize as a continuing obligation of debt and gratitude due from the Republic to the nation for the sacrifice of the life of the nation and those who won glory for its flag in the recent war with Spain, in the recent war with Iraq, and in the annulition of this sacred obligation demands that liberal provision be made by pensions for the veterans, and the widows and orphans of the nation. We favor the most stringent national and state legislation to suppress anarchy. We support the unification of United States senators by the people. Minnesota Delegation The Republican party of Minnesota for years has had a just pride in its representation in the state, and has indulged our present senators. Honorable Knute Nelson and Honorable Moses E. Clapp for their compulsions and efficient services for our state, and for their care is best subserved by a continuance of their eminence and ability in their present high position. The Republican party of Minnesota indores its representatives from this state in congress, is proud of their ability, courage, indifference, and care for the interests of our commonwealth, insisting upon the rights of its members and maintaining the West, bringing added glory to the West, bringing added glory to the state they so ably represent. Labor. The Republican party of Minnesota recommends that eight hours should be considered by public authority. We favor the abolishment of day labor where practicable. We earnestly solicit a better understanding between capital and labor in Minnesota convention in Minnesota where employers and employed will meet in friendly conference. We favor the use of the union label on state supporter cards.

CITIZENS OF THE TWIN CITIES DO THEMSELVES PROUD They Give the Fittest Social Function Ever Seen in the Northwest in Honor of the Delegates and Visitors to the Council and Press Association. Ever since the announcement was made that the Press Association and Council would meet this year in St. Paul, and the National Educational Association in Minneapolis, the people of the Twin Cities have been looking forward to their coming with pleasurable anticipations. A committee was formed to arrange the enterprise succeeded every one now knows, though the knockers had out their lit- MEMBERS AND C Members of the Adelphi club, with their guests, Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, of Boston, and Mrs. Fannie Barrer Williams, of Chicago. The picture was taken at the home of Mrs. Lulu the hammers and kept them busy. Of course the principal feature in the minds of the society people was the grand banquet and reception which was announced to take place at the Armory of the State University. This event was the air: a function that could be found in the Northwest and it was specially and most beautifully decorated in white and red bunting, the walls and ceiling being literally hidden from view with the same. There was a fountain at the center of the floor throwing a stream of water into the air. The fountain was surrounded by banks of evergreen, palms, flowers, and all around the room was a wall of cedars and evergreens making a fairy-like scene that beggars description. There were sixteen are lights hidden in large balloon covers which illuminate the floor. The guests began to gather at 8 o'clock and when most had arrived an overture was played by Kuhn's orchestra of favorite pieces. Then Mr. W. T. McCormick, the master of ceremonies, introduced Arch-bishop Ireland, who delivered a masterful address filled with good things, as his addresses always are. Then came the grand march in two columns, one under the leadership of Mr. W. T. McCormick, the master of ceremonies, led by Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Miller. The evolutions were artistic and intricate and the long lines and curves of the columns filled with the handsome gowned ladies made a scene in the march ended in a waltz, after which all repaired to the banquet board. The banquet was set in a large room adjoining and opening into the main hall and covers, were laid for three hours. The banquet was served by Dorsett, of Minneapolis and consisted of **Fruit Frappe** **Rolls** Fish Turbot **Fish Turbot** **Cold Turkey** Ham Sandwiches **Brown Turkey** Bread **Chicken Salad** **Chicken Salad** Neapolitan Ice Cream. Fruit Assorted Cake. Confections Assorted Cake. There was no speech making and the toothsome viands were not long in being transferred from the tables to places where they would do most good, and then the dancing began and went at a merry pace until the hour for leaving had arrived and Home Sweet Home told of the end of the grandest social function we had ever had.
