HousehaId ECONOMY.

The housekeeper or cook who studies econo-
my in tie kitchen, can do 80 in one direction
by always using Dooley's Yeast Powder. 1t
will be found truly economical and valuable
assistant in baking biscuits, rolls, bread, cake
of all kinds, waffles, mullins, and most all arti-
cles prepared from flour and why? Because,
in using the Dooley Powder you save in eggs,
in shortening, in patience, in everything and
when the baking is done, it is turned out light,
palatable, and wholesome, so that every NOR
sci is eaten up and no waste.

During ten years many grand and palatial

AMONG THE FRATERNITY.

Among the members of the press
whom we met during our recent trip to
Mankato were E. G. Huntington, Win
dom Reporter: W. A. Chapman, st.
James Journal; B. c. Sanborn,' Madella
Times; Mr.. Moore, st. Peter Tribune;
c. A. Stevens, Slakopee Courier, and
ut Mankato, Messrs. Wise, Of the Re-
view, Brown, of the Record, and Netf.
of the Union.
From nearly every one of these gen
tlemen we received some valuable hints
and suggestions as to the conduct of
newspapers and the improvement Of the
printing business. We were more than
ever impressed with the Importance Of
frequent consultations, reunions or
conventions among editors. No bust
ness needs organization and goodwill
among those who manage it more than
the newspaper business, and we pro
pose to our editorial brethren Il greater
effort henceforth to abandon the cut
throat policy and to completely sever
the umbilical cord which binds them
to mere party, whether that party be
political, religious Or social. Let us be
free and deserve the influence we ex-
ert, for a vast influence we do WELD for
both good and evil.

KHO Is S.iEE2

A writer Ill the Pioneer-Press says
that if the story is true concerning the
lady who was taken from train at
Utica, n. Y, then our civilization is i
failure. The story is true and fully con-
tirmed in nearly all the horrible Wrtic-
ulars as first published. The facts are
that u refined Boston lady, the wife Of
respectable citizen Of Boston, was
taken from a sleeping CIR at Utica, n.
y, drugged, outraged and robbed
Her husband found her more dead than
alive in den Of infamy. The story is
that two men entered the car, one of
whom pretended to be her brother and
tho other her physician, that they i'll
formed the conductor that the lady was
insane and they were taking her to the
asylum, that the conductor allowed the
rutfians to take her from the train not
outstanding her protests.
Is it not abou: time that something
were done to regulate the Insanity pre-
text? We see frequent accounts of per-
sons being confined in warehouses by
their own friends in order to get con-
troll of property or 10 get them out of
the way. Is personal liberty of so little
account that any so-called friend OF any
rufiian can secure charge OF man or a
woman by pronouncing him OF her in
insane?
We hope that the conductor who
turned this lady over to the ruflians
will he called to account, and that the
shock which this outrage has given to
the public will do something toward
correcting public Indifference upon the
much-abused insanity plea and pretext.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

kEW SYSTEM PROPOSED by CAP.
TA1NE ssll1AzS.>
Elsewhere We COPY an artte'eTrom
the st. Paul PioneenIress commend
in9 the newssystemsof Keeping public
accounts proposed by Captain Z. S.
Malls, Of Bigelow, in this county. We
haSe long been cogniZant of the fact
that the Captain was the author of this
neE system which he. brought to the
attention Of the Legislature last winter,
but We refyained fr9m public mention =
Of the fact, at his request, until s'c',
time as lie could present the system in
some tangible form.
We are now in receipt Of a pamphlet
bearing the following title: 49,.
s Public Accounts; with Practical
Suggestions for. Keeping Them, and
and for Making Examinations, Settle
ments, Annual Financial SETTLEMENTS,
and official Reports. (To,be' Enlarged
and Improved at a Future Timc.) BY
FL $. Mills.
The basis of the system proposed by
Captain Mills is thus briefly stated:
l. We would charge the collector, the
custodian of public funds, with the en-
tire amount Of business put into his
hands; lie is simply acting as Il collect
ing and disbursing agent, and OH cor
rect business principles should be chor-
god with amounts put in-o his hands
for disbursement and for collection.
2 We would credit legitimate l,a!y-
mc,,ts and disbursements, also ab.ttt Il
and delinquent tax, and cash on hand
at the date Of settlement; the latter, ii
it and accounts had been kept correctly.
would be sufficient in amount to make
all even and CORRECT bal lncc OF the ac-
count.
The details Of the system, with tables
giving forms of accounts, are fully
shown in the pamphlet before us, and
upon these we shall dwell at some lu-
turc time.
The system is highly commended 10y
the State Examiner, the State Auditor
and others familiar with keeping public
accounts, and we congratulate Captain
Mills upon having constructed Il system
which, if generally introduced, would
rcvolutionize the present methods
throughout the States, greatly simplify
the records Of State and County officers,
and save immense sums Of money to
the public.
Tie Captain has taken steps to have
his system copyrighted, and We hope
that he may succeed in Securing its
general Introduction.
We suppose Captain Mills can now
afford, better than ever, to smile at the
stories circulated by small politicians
list fall as to his incompetcncy TO ill
the little office Of County Auditor. We
said then, from q knowledge of the
facts and an intimate acquaintance
with him, that Captain Mills was the
most competent man in Mobiles County
for either the Office Of County Treasurer
or County Auditor.

DEMOCRACY IN ETIROpE

Gen. Grant, i'll a recent conversation
said he saw no reason to doubt the sue
cess of democracy in France, and that
there would be more republics in
Europe before there would he few
er. Grant is OH the ground and has
seen the great principle ut work, fore
ing its way up to the overthrow of
monarchy, which must come soon, Ell
ther in detail or at one great upl,eaval.
We anticipated that the recent Russo
Turkish war would lead to general
European conflict, out Of which would
rise republics for England and Germa-
ny at least, but the diplomats have
constructed Il system Of dykes which
for the present prevents the great over
flow. Nevertheless the rivers are rising
steadily. Every human brain has be-
come Il swollen rill pouring something
into the great Mississippi of politics
and no system of levees OF dykes which
the Kings and statesmen of Europe
can erect will prevent the overflow.
They cannot dam the waters, out.
They must either adapt themselves to
the circumstances and let the waters
flow over the land in a thousand and
one legitimate channels, or they must
see their thrones and dynasties 20
down, like Pharaoh's host, in one vast,
overlooking deluge.
We watch eagerly for every scrap of
news from Europe bearing upon this
subject, and we say God-spced to the
common people. III the. visions Of St.
John, kingcr?ft is represented IS the
Dragon and Priestcraft us the SERPENT.
We want to see that Fni Int of God,
called the Common People, rise up in
our day and rescue his lady-love called
Liberty, by Staying both Dragon and
Serpent.

NEW SYSTEM or KEEPING PUBLIC
ACC0UxIY. a..
We noticed last Winter an imprdyed
+ system of Keeping pubic accounts &3iich
had been worked o,if by Nh. +. HsAiillS
arid brought B him to tic atJntt10M
ofthe legislature. Mr.. Mills AIS en-
Dodicdallis ideas, ana hnoIt l4ts6aef his
system OF keeping public accounts,
with practical suggestions for making
examinations, settlements, financial
statements and reports, in pamphlet,
which we take pleasure in commenting
to the attention of all public account
ants, treasures, auditors, etc, whose.
Judgment upon the proposed system is
Observation-Disclosures
public examiner, has written a letter
in (which Ire Endorses its underlying
principles. Mr.. Mills'plan of keeping
tleasurers' accounts seems to us Il very
simple and lucid one, and though we are
not qualified to Judge of it's excellence rs
compared with the best methods in
vogue, we learn that it has received
the Endorsement of many experts. 1t
upon thorough examination it should
prove to possess the superiority over
ordinary modes which is claimed for
it, we trust it may be established by
law as q uniform system throughout
the State. At present in most counties
OF this State the treasurers do not keep
any accounts at all, except Of collec-
lions, Which are reported to the audi
tor. They do not slow what amounts
ct taxes are to be collected or are I'M
collected of former years or of :he cur
rent year. Even in those counties
where the treasurers have a system OF
bookkeeping it is ye;y various, and in
most cases imperfect. 1t is this loose
SYSTEM OF accounting, which gives rise
to SO many defalcalions, and i'll many
cases it is wholly impossible to tell
whether there is any detalcation or not.
Mr. Mills has done Il great public ser
vice in calling attention to the necessity
Of Il uniform system Of keeping public
ACCOUNTS and making financial state
mtnts in Il way that wall make the con-
dig ion Of the county treasury plain to
every taxpayer. Ii he has succeeded,
as 1t seems to us he has, in dcvisiny Il
system which will make fraud impos-
sible or apparent that system should be
