Which Distinguished Citizens of Mtnne-
sofa Hare Been CITING.
The Martin County (Minnesota) Sentinel
has been interviewing number OF proml-
neut citizens, relative to Presidential pref
erences, and among them we find the follow
ing:
Hon. M. j. SEVERANCE - "My preference
depends on whom the Republicans nominate.
II thew nominate Grant should be in favor
of Gen, Hancock for the Democratic nomi-
nee. Bayard is my first choice, but he Is
from q small State and locality is against
hiu. Tilden would not vote for under any
circumstances; he has too many contempt
bic friends and has been implicated in too
many questionable transactions. Those IN
famous CIPHER dispatches were traced alto
pether too near his door to make him
healthy candidate Of any party. AS regards
Grant, he stood good show few weeks ago,
but his strength is weakening fast and L
hardly think he will be nominated"
Hon. M. s. Wilkinson-M have not
thought very much about it, but yet l have
preference as between the more prominent
persons whose names are mentioned as prob
able candidates for President next fall. 1t
is probable that Gen. Grant has more pro-
nounced friends for the high position than
any other man in the Republican party, and
vet l think it hardly probable that he will be
nominated. And, although I esteem Gen.
Grant highly and am proud of him as an
American, l do not believe that there IS any
crisis upon the country which would justify
the abandonment of precedent set by
Washington and followed by every one
since his time of limiting the candidacy for
this Office to two terms, and without emil
nent reason l would not think it wise to
nominate him for a third term. AS to
Sherman, while he has made good secre-
tary of the treasury, think he would be the
hardest man to elect that the Republicans
could nominate. He is cold
blooded, selfish man for whom the masses
of the party would have little sympathy.
Blaine is more popular with the masses, but
| he is the more politician and his skirts are
not clear. would rather see Z. B. Wash
| burne, of Illinois, nominated than any of the
! men named. His political and official integ-
rity is not questioned: he has always favored
economy in the administration of the gov
eminent, and is the foe of Jobs and jobbery,
and as the warm personal friend OF Grant
would make strong run. If he IL nomlna-
ted will vote for him.
A. l.. Ward-"I am for Sam'l j. Tilden
that is all there is abous it, and when he il
elected am in favor of inaugurating him
at the point of the bayonet, if necessary"

MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
PARIS, Feb. S.-The chamber of deputies, af
ter a long and acrimonious debate on Saturday
refused to vote credit of 100000 francs de
manded by the government for strengthening
the Notifications in French colonies. The de
feat of the government has caused much ex
element, and speculation is rife as to what
action will be taken by members of the cabi
net. 1t is reported that the ministry will re
sign. Gen. Arthur Jules Morni, the vel
known French military officer and mathema
tician, died in this city on Saturday. He was
born Oct. 18th, 1895, and was consequently 81
years of age at the time of his death.

Sherman in Mournina-Eayes Griered.

Sherman in Mournina-Eayes Griercd.
A gentleman who saw Secretary Sherman
and had a long talk with him says that he is
much dispirited. He had hoped that the
Grant and Blaine men would get into such
a wrangle that Cameron would not attempt
to have the delegation instruct FOR Grant,
and, to punish Blaine, would have given him
(Sherman) an Endorsement of some kind.
The secretary recognized that old Simon
Cameron had very active hand In shaping
yesterdays events, and that Don, the son,
owes him an allegiance which is more exact
ing than the marriage relations be-
tween the Clans Sherman and Cameron.
What specially grieves the secretary is the
cool manner in which he is utterly ignored.
The platform adopted does not give Sherman
any credit at all for executing the financial
policy of his party, but gives the credit entire
to the party. The President feels little
sore, too, that his administration was not at
tended to in the platform. He had hoped that
| it would be Endorsed. Some of Sherman's
followers believe that if the Sherman 'boom''
does not soon get spontaneous lift-one
that is not solely purchased for patronage
and will stand on IFS legs without pay-that
the secretary will fly the Presidential track
and engage in crusade against Grant.

Select an Educator and not a Preacher.
Worthington Journal.


It is announced that Prof. Johns has re-
signed the position of principal of the Man
kato Normal School to accept that of presid-
ing elder of the Winona district. Already,
we are informed, the different churches are
bringing forward their men to fill the place,
each vieing with the other to place the school
under sectarian control. AS a tax payer and
a friend of unsectarian education,
we enter our protest against placing this or
any other State educationa. institution under
the control of any church or sect. And we
believe that if the wishes of the people gen.
orally were consulted and acted upon the re-
suit would be the appointment of some one
who is not conspicuously identified with
any church or sect and who is fitted for the
place by reason of his personal character and
his qualifications as an educator.

The incoming President will proba.
bly, have it in his power to appoint q
majority of tho Judges Of the United
states supreme Court. Justices Hunt
and Clifford are both suffering from
paralytic strokes, aud it is not proba-
bio they will remain upon the bench
much longer, even though they par-
TALLY recover health. Justice Swayne
Is seventy-tive years old, and Justice
Strong Is seventy.two. 1t is said that
both of them contemplate retiring, as
they have the right to do. Justice
Miller has been on tho bench twenty
years, and is siXty.tive years OF age.
He, too, has the right to retire. Juss
tice Bradley Is sixty-seven, and will
probably remain on the bench for some
years yet. From this it appears that
should the party which succeeds the
present Administration in power de-
sire to effect change in tho Supreme
Court, it can be done without the me-
cessity oflegislation to that end.

THE PURPLE BOUGHT AND SOLD.
TFrom the Mobile Rcsister.l

trOfn thS NcpltS lNesslStcE.l
The campaign just closed has been
that the great American Republic is
fast following in the footsteps Of older
governments. The chief executive
office is being bought and sold. The
lavish use of money in controlling poll
tics was the bane and ruin of the Ro-
man Empire, and unless speedily and
summarily rebuked will lead to the
downfall at no distant day of our own
free institutions. Even now, places in
the Senate are given to men who bid
highest, and candidates for Office, from
the highest to the lowest, are made
to pay money into the party purse for
the purchase of voters. The man who
can contribute most money has every
advantage at the primary elections and
at the regular polls. In the recent cam
vass the Republican party levied three
different assessments upon Office
holders. Every letter-carrier has been
forced to choose between complying
with these eNactions or losing his
place. There is not laborer in the
New York custom Or in any other GUS
house in the country who has not
been similarly dealt with. BY this
process ii is estimated that over So, ,OOO,-
900 have been raised and used to secure
victory ut the polls for the Republican
politicians. Added to this enormous
sum have been large contributions by
monopolists, specially favored manu-
facturers, importers who have grown
rich by reason of Federal favor, bank
ers who in various ways are profiting
at the expense of the people, and the
great railroad corporations. At the
beginning of the campaign the boast
was made that the Republican mana
gers could, if necessary, raise $lO,OOO,-
900. There is reason to believe that
they raised that sum. Never before in
our politics was the purse SO Os,enta-
tiously thrown into the scales against
patriotism aud against reason. This is
Il matter which should in an especial
degree engage the attention of the
plain men of the land. There are mil
lions of honest men who will have
nothing but Industrious habits, integ-
rity Of purpose aud liberty of action to
bequeath to their children. 1t comes
very close to their firesides to say that
the liberty which has hitherto been
enjoyed, the equal political manhood
which has hitherto been unqucstioned, ,
shall become subordinate to money.
If it is possible TO purchase the Presi-
iiency, what other choice can the poor
man have in the politics of the country
than either to sell diuself to the high
est bidder or stand apart at once inn
potent and despised? In the mean
time what an insult it is to the intclli-
gence Of the laboring man for these
persons with their $Io,00o,OOO fund to
DC addressing him as his peculiar
friends. The proposition involves on
their part the belief that he is both a
T. II

demanding change i'll our form OF
Government, as not a few of them have

surface. In places the ground has
caVed in, forming chasms hundred
feet deep. There is but a thin shell of
earth over the pit of fire. AT night
blue, sulphurous flames issue from the
crevices in the ground. Ii is dangerous
to walk across the spot. Several per-
sons have lnysteriously disappeared in
the vicinity during the past twenty
years. 1t is believed that in majority
of the cases they have fallen into the
burning mine. Dougherty, the origi-
nal proprietor Of the mine, attempted
to go across once. He sank to his arm
pits through the crust, and was only
saved by courageous friends who Ven-
| tured to his assistance. Tho stones on
the ground are hot, and snow never
rests there. Rain turns to vapor as
fast as it falls on the roof of the burn.
ing mine. Millions of dollars worth
of the best quality of coal have been
consumed by the fire.
The Summit Hill mine, near MauCh
Chunk, has been burning for twenty.
five years. 1t is believed that this
mine was set on fire by discontented
miners. Thousands of dollars have
been expended in fruitlcss efforts to ex.
tinguish the flames.
The Butler mine, near Pittstou, has
oSSsA oSAAuAASS s"SS ySS&tSs Il VStS set
on fire by u party of tramps, who built
a fire in the mine in 1877. The fire is
in the upper drifts. 1t is confined to
an area OF forty acres by an immense
ditch forty feet wide, which was eNca-
waited between the burning drift and
connecting ones. The digging of the
canal cost $4,000. But for that obsta-
Gle the fire would have communicated
to some of the most extensive mines in
the Lackawanna Valley, and a subter-
raneous contlagration would have
swept under the whole of West Pitts
ton. Miners have worked in the lower
drift of the Butler mine since the fire
| broke out, but there are but forty feet
of rock between them and the field of
| fire above. The water that trick les
through the roof is scalding hot. The
temperature is so high that the men
can wear but little clothing.
