Our county officers are all Norske except

steps down and out, and Offsthun steps up

pant, poor old Belgian, union soldier,
and wonderful worker, goes to prison
for debt. He says lot of old trumpery
was given him by Scandian, and then he
was sued for it, and a Scandian justice
gave scandalous judgment against him,
for which he goes TO prison. The cost to
the county will be great. Scott says the
old trash on which judgment was rendered
is not worth over three dollars, but the
judgment was about twenty dollars and
costs. The Belgian will be remembered
by Wolff s. Wells, as he left his satchel
there for time, and made some purchases
there when he got itaway here. We have

1t is gratifying and extremely satisfac-
tory to note, that many of our business
men are discussing the necessity of taking
pronounced action toward securing the To-
cation of manufacturing establishments in
our midst. 1t is gratifying because it
shows that We have spirit of progressive
enterprise among our citizens, which will,
in time, raise US above the level of mere
trading point, and place us in the ranks Of
the more important business centres of the
state. 1t is satisfactory, as the agitation
of the question, is the sowing of seed,
which after awhile brings forth fruit. and
once the proposed measures are talked
about, discussed, pondered upon, and
understood. there will be no doubt what
ever but that good results will ensue. The
entire business of our village is now wholly
dependent upon the country tributary, and
while this, in measure, will always be
the case, yet we can by exerting ourselves,
being on the alert and using due diligence,
build up large, profitable and reliable
business in our midst Manufactures such
as are at present required, can, with little
effort, be established, and once we make a
beginning, no matter how small, the way
is paved for other enterprises on larger
and more extensive scale. Factories, be-
sides advancing the commercial impor-
lance of town, increase the valuation of
property, keeps money at home, draws and
makes trade, brings to our midst a desir-
able class of people, capitalists and ME
chanics, build up our city and give us a
standing and importance we could not OBJ
tain by any other means. These are few
of the benefits to be derived, benefits that
will accrue at small cost of time, trouble
and possibly expense. We do not favor
offering bonuses, but would aid in other
ways, such as remitting taxes at first con-
tributing toward the purchase of land ; So.
curing favorable rates ON building materi-
al, machinery, etc. This we think would
be all that would he necessary, as there
are, without doubt, many men of means
who would gladly embark in business

an effort made to bring the matter properly
to their notice, showing that there was q
necessity for the several enterprises. We
require we'll equipped machine shop and
foundry, we need brick yard, factory
for the manufacture of wagons, sleds,

creamery, and other establishments of q
kind suitable and requisite in an agricultu
raj region Either of the above, and many
other enterprises not specified would prove
paying investments from the start, and
knowing the push and perseverance of oul
business men. we feel not only gratifed
and satisfied with the move, but sanguine
that new and beneficial order of things ID
about to be inaugurated. If we show q

claims that he never said that he did not

clause contradicts himself and says II did
my utmost to defeat him." Mr.. Water.
ston says that it is untrue that he helped
nominate Mr.. Darling, while the published
proceedings, written by the then acting
editor of the TRIBUNE. an entirely disin
terested party, says that Mr.. Darling was
nominated for the position by reclamation
and without opposition. The rest of the
letter is not of sufficient importance to need
any lengthy comment, except to Cal
marked attention to the fact that be enter

A decision has been rendered in the
Philip forgery case, which holds that the
publication of the editorial in Truth, after
Gen Garfeld's denial, was an act of Grim
inal libel, as there is no question but that
the letter is forgery. Abram Hewitt, of
the democratic national committee, is Sc
verely scored by the judge, who says: ION
Mr. Hewitt must rest the larger share of
responsibility of the first publication of the
base and shameful forgery, and his subse-
quent relation to the forgery does not lift
single shadow from his conduct. He was
a member of the national committee. He
doubtless knew the extent and purposes
for which it was taken and used by that
committee, and that it went forth to the
country with the sanction of his endorse
ment He knew beyond question that it
met speedily with the indignant denial Of
Gen. Garfield, who denounced the letter as
base and stupid forgery. and its senti
ments as brutal Under our statutes the
utterer of forged instrument, with knowl
edge of its falsity, is placed in the same
rank of criminality with the forger."

A novel yet practicable suggestion is
made by the New Y ork Times, of which
the following is brief synopsis. 1t is de-
signel to make an appeal for national
subscription to provide perpetual fund,
whose annual revenue shall be enjoyed
through life by the oldest ex.president of
the United States" The minimum capital
of the fund shall be $3.50, 900, and its prob
able annual income $4,000. The Times
in discussing the rather novel proposition
says: poverty and dignity are by no
means incompatible but it is extremely
questionable whether the people of the
United States consult either the dignity of
their country or the successful working of
their institutions by failing to make some
provisions for removing their ex presidents
above the temptation of tie discomforts
incidental to genteel poverty.
1t is very obviously desirable that move
ment like this should be participated in by
the whole people, that the quarter-dollar
of the laborer should 60 to make up the
fund, as we'll as the $4,000 of the million
aire. 1t may be necessary to
explain that the phrase, the Coolest liv-
ing ex president of the. United States
means the ex president whose incumbency
is most distant in point of time, and that
tlIc plan We have outlined does not, for
the present at least, contemplate the enjoy
ment of pension by more than one ex-
president at time. The fact that Gen.
Grant would, in all probability, be the first
beneficiary of the contemplated trust does
not in the least make it movement in his
special interest.
