size aud neat typographical appearance
OF these papers. the enterprise Of their
managers 10 collecting news aud the
ability With which they are edited have
excited the favorable comments Of
strangers visiting the State, who inv.r,.-
bly, compare them With the dailies of
tho larger cities. There are no pa.

papers to be a matter ofjustiaable State
pride.
Tho Press is the leading Republican
journal Of Minnesota, and has contrib

ARRANGEMENT AND REFORM.
The reports from Warrington - to
the condition of the national finances
are anythiag bat satisfactory. The
current receipts have fallen off largely ;
over seventeen million dollars Of the
so.eallsd "reservs" fund have been
paid ont, being just 90 much sfan in.
aation Of the currency; and the debt
has increased over i've millions of dol.
lars thus far in December. Secretary
Richardson has asked Congress to re.
store the duty on tee and coffee, tho
taxes on the receipts Of raihoad and
express companies, and il necessary tho
stamp tax. 1t must Be confessed that
this il not IN encouraging showing.
The serious duty rests with Congress
Of providing. remedy for this con.
dition Of affairs. The people will de.
maud OF it = rigid Investigation of
every bill calling tor money which may
b. brought before it. No extravsgaot
appropriations will be tolerated, sud
none whatever for any purpose not
impsrstively demanded by tho presen.
needs Of tho country. In this way
millions of dollars, annually squander.
cd, can be saved. Aud then there ia
opportunity for rstreuchmeut and great
or economy in the various Depart.
menss Of tho Government This must
bs Insisted upon. The temper Of
the people 10 such that nothing short Of
absolute performance in these require.
msnts will be accepted.
Tho Republican party is pledged to
economy and reform; President Grant
points out their necessity; all eyes
are now turned upon Congress-. It is
IN The power Of the majority 10 that
body, BY msoifeating an earnest spirit
in favor of retrenchment, to remove the
existing difficulties in the national
finances, an1 by so doing to restore tho
Rspubliosn party to its old place In
the affection and confidence Of the poo.
pls-so make It stronger than ever.
Aud 10 believe that m,jority will do
this.
If . sufficient saving can be made 10
tho way Of reducing appropriations and
10 moro economical management of
the Departments to make the income
Of tho Government At least equal Its
expenditures, additional taxation is not
!. advisable. But if this cannot be done
without restoring the tax on certain
srtioles-aod it is by no means certain
that this tax was not removed sooner
than was best-let the tax be 70.
stored. Two things there should not
be: soy continued increase of the pub
lie debt or imitation of the currency.
One il quite a bad As the other.

Speculation in outside lands seems as rampant
as ever, the greatest activity being IN two gon-
eral directions: westward md southwark. In
the western suburbs the greatest inquiry Ia for
property In tho vicinity Of Madison street, for
mile or two west Of tie city limits. Another line
Of almost as great activity extends northwest
ward from tho vicinity Of tho Northwestern car
shopa all the way to Irving Park. southward
the speculative feyer has extended 80 as to
include nearly ali Of the one hundred
square miles Of territory west Of the Great East
