The commune alton in the last issue
of the Post, over the signature of "A.
Westphal, in which the writer sadly
Ilabors to answer our article in last
weeks issue on the ssferry question: =
lfOrcibly reminds us of a story that is
told on apreache Ter who upona certain c.
casion, when parish complained
lOf having had his chickens stolen, took
lup the Bible and informed the congre-
cation that he would hurl it at the
guilty culprit, and, when going
through the motion of throwing the
missile, the thief lodged under the
pew. The old chronic agitator's con-
science must certainly have told him
that he was one of the certain class of
people who are continually raising
questions, and agitating new projects
that constantly keep the community in
a Juror" or he would not have found
it necessary to come out in a lengthy
article in his own defence. He does
not endeavor to deny that he and his
crew have been engaged in the con-
temptable business we alluded to, but
claims it is their right. The REVIEW
certainly has no objections to any citi-
zen agitating projects or circulating
petitions for any plausible object, but
to circulate petitions and solicit sigma
lures with misstatements, and misrep-
reservations, with no other earthly OBJ
ject than to be. contrary, to rob the city
4 treasury of six or seven hundred dol
lars for the benefit Of two or three in.
dividuals, and to obstruct the proper
channel of local legislation, is abomi-
nable to say the least, and cannot but
work to the detriment of the commu-
nifty at large. In his ferry project he
endeavored to mislead the people by
claiming that the city council con-
i templated building pontoon bridge.
for ac1tich the people should be charged
the privilege Of crossing. He, and
those that trail with him, knew very
well that the city council had not even
/ thought of such a thing, and he GER
tainly must think that the people have
i but little confidence in the members of
the council, to endeavor to make them
4 believe such a f1imsy story. His pro.
position, simmered down i'm nutshell,
was that six or seven hundred dollars
)shonld be taken out of the city treasury
and presented to the several ferry own
ers, and that the people coming here to
! trade should be taxed another 10 cents.
each time they come, for the benefit OF
these men. Does he call this progress!
A blind man might see who the pro.
position intends to benefit. Certainly
not the farmers. When change is
made it will be made for a free bridge
!, and not for the old ferry system that
has been discarded years ago.
We are glad to be assured that the
.sBuerger Verein'' is not a myth, that
it is composed of bonatide citizens with
no hostile intentions. But if they dc
not commit some rash act it certainly
, will not be the fault Of fidgety old w
and his adjutant.
The closing flourish Of his epistle is a.
!. little as the man himself, and in ans
wer we would merely say that all the
medicines he has ever bought of III
would not have physicked a flea.

At a most unfortunate time it,

At most unfortunate time it has
been ascertained that the procedure at
the time our school district was organ.
lied was not quite according to law.
1t appears that the call for the meeting
at which the district was organized
was only published ten days, when the
law provided that it should be pub
lished twenty days. While the dis
trict is legally enough organized for all
common purposes, this flaw would pre-
vent the Board of Education from dis
posing of the bonds,I to be issued for
the erection of the new school house, to
advantage; and a call has accordingly
been issued for meeting, to be held at
Turner Hall, next Monday, for the pur.
pose of recognizing the district. We
say that this irregular procedure has
been discovered at a most unfortunate
time, because, the delay occasioned by
the reorganization of the district will
make it doubtful whether the building
can be completed this season; and be.
cause we understand that there are a
party of men IN the city who, because
the contract was not awarded to the
New Ulm bidder, propose to overthrow
the whole action of the board, and
some even declare that the building
shall not be built at all. n
The Board Of Education is composed
of honorable men, men who have the
welfare of the district at heart, and
under the circumstances they could
have done nothing else than to award
the contract to the lowest bidder, who
was over $4,000 lower than j q
Berndt and Co., Of this city, and their
action will receive the endorsement of
every good citizen. We would appeal
to the better judgement of those that
are unjustly dissatisfied with the action
of the board, to look at the matter in a
bussin ess-Iike mann r, and they cannot
but sustain the action Of the board.

of merchandise for July were nearly four

quarter millions less, while the exports OF
goods I'm July were over nine millions and
IN August nearly sixteen and half millions
greater than in the Same months Of 1871.
The decreased movement Of goods importa-
tion has continued up to this time, while the
exports have gone ON swelling IN amount
and in value. The decline in importatons as
compared with 1916. began in November.
1877. and has gone on steadily since, the cN-
ports meantime being largely ON the in
crease, every month of 1873 showing Il de-
