What Others Say Of Our Manufacturing
Interests and Advantages.

The following truthful. extract is
culled from the columns of the West
ern Manufacturer published at Chica
go. and those who are familiar with
the location of Mankato and the eX.
cellent advantages it offers in the
way Of manufactures, will readily
concur in what the writer says:
The attention of parties looking
for promising points 1T which to loca, Q
manufacturing industries, is called To
the card Of Mr.. NJ. q. willard. Secre-
tary of the Board of Trade, Mankato,
MIMI, in another portion of this
paper. Other things heing equal, the
nearer the manufacturer and con.
sumo. are brought tn each other the
better-the less will be the cost of
transportation to he deducted from
the profit Of the manufacturer. or TO
he added To cost Of the consumer. so
the nearer the manufacturer Is
brought to the producer of the neces-
sary living supplies for himself and
his employees, breadstuffs, provisions,
garden truck. fruit, etc, the less will
he the expense of carrying on his
works. These are some Of the adj
yantages that may be- held rs and off.
set to some disadvantages which I'M
doubtedly may he urged against the
location of manufacturing industries
outside the already established indus
trial centers. In reference to the city
of Mankato, Mimi, there are many
special advantages in favor Of the
manufactures Of certain lines of
goods. Within the past three or four
years there has been al immense EN-.
igration to Western Minnesota, Da-
kota and Montana, II large portion Of
which has gone west and north OF
Mankato. and all this large and con
stantly increasing population beyond.
must be supplied with agricultural
implements of every description, with
plain and ordinary furniture, suitable
for the pioneer settlers of u new
country. Nearly IL thousand miles of
transportation may he saved 10y hav-
lug these goods manufactured rs far
west and north as Mankato. The city
is admirably located OIL the bank of
the Minnesota river, with AL abun.
dance of all the raw materials Of such
manufactures. An almost inexhausti.
bic supply Of hard woods, for manu-
features and fuel, convenient supplies
of clays for brick, tiles, pottery aud
earthwarc, sand for glassware, quar-.
ries for building stone. bridge works.
etc. And then it is Surroui ded 10y a
productive and fertile country for
the growth of vegetables and small
fruits for canning, and there will be
Il ready demand for all these goods in
the great fast settling country he.
yond for years to come. And then
there are thousands of tons of flax
straw awaiting utilization in the
manufacture of baggage, etc, for
which there will be u constantly
growing demand in that remarkable
grain.grcwing region. And then, in
addition to all these advantages, there
are other considerations that should
not be overlooked. One of these is
the fact that every manufacturer 10.
eating ut MankatO, will have the
sympathy and co operation of the cit
liens and will he welcomed by the
business men and business organiZa'
! tionS of the city.

AT the General Election this fall
three constitutional amendments viii
be submitted to a vote Of the people
The amendments are all on the same
subje ct-the holding Of general cleo
tions biennially after the year 1884
under the provisions Of which all
State, county or other officers elected
this fall, for two years, and whose
terms would, under existing law, ex.
pire January LIST, 1885, are continued
in Office till January LIST, 1887. This
will apply to all State officers except
ing the auditor and clerk Of the Su.
preme court, whose terms are made
four years and in this county to the
treasurer, register Of deeds, sheriff
and county superintendent. These
offices are to be filled this fall, and if
the constitutional amendment is rati-
fed. under its provisions those elect
ed will serve three years instead Of
two.-If there is any one feature of
our election law that is weak, it is the
limited tenure of Office afforded, and
by reducing the frequency Of cleo.
tions, and extending the term of Of
flee, much more competency in Off.
Gals may be expected and the greed
for office correspondingly reduced.

Bliss in his Star Route argument
of something over ten days, declared
among other things, that the official
records showed that within three
months after the date upon which ).
&. Dorsey came into possession of the
twelve routes. ten Of them had been
increased or expedited and most of the
orders had been made while Dorsey
was in Washington, and no one knew
how far the thing would have gone
il the new administration had not
come in and the two honest men, Mac.
Veagh and James, stepped to the
front. If nothing better than Il disa-
greement of the jury results in this
long and expensive trial, there will
be one grand good result attained,
and that the breaking up of one Of
the most gigantic and corrupt rings
that ever infested the government.
That Dorsey d Co. have robbed this
country of millions upon millions Of
dollars there has leen ample evidence
adduced to prove. and that they
should be punished accordingly does
not admit of doubt. But thieves pos.
sessed of the capital these men boast
of will not allow a jury of twelve
mortals to agree, hence their escape
from the bars of the penitentiary is
pretty well assured.

and accommodate a very great mum.
Der of people. The superintendent
reply was, that by SO doing u double
tax from Lake Crystal to MankatO
would be imposed upon the govern.
ment. Under the present system,
mail matter can he transferred at the
Junction, placed upon the main line
of the Omaha road and delivered in
this city at just One-half what it would
be by running straight through on the
branch. This explanation is made to
relieve Congressman Wakefield from
any blame in the premises, since he
has certainly done his duty toward
the people Of MankatO in endeavOring
to improve our mail facilities in the
direction mentioned. And there is
nothing certain but that the change
may yet be made.-The Northwest.
ern folks have promised to put on a
through passenger and mail train
from Des Moines to st. Paul. which
will connect at Lake Crystal with the
early morning train on the main line
of the Omaha, in which event our
mail from Blue Earth would reach us
in splendid season.
