During her stay in Mankato the bride
has won for herself many warm friends.
She has been engaged as head lady
clerk in Messrs. Mcconnell a. Co.'S. dry
goods store since her arrival in the city,
and in this position has gained not only
the esteem of her employer and asso-

lishment. Mr.. Peak, the groom, is the
very efficient travelling freight agent of
c. M. g. st. p railway company, and al
though comparative stranger among

married couple will make Mankatc

That Railroad.

For several days, the question for in
some way, providing for the $4,000 bon
us asked to be voted by the city of
Mankato in aid of the MankatO, Austin
& St. Cloud railroad has agItated the
minds of many of our citizens, and as
the time in which action must be taken
was rapidly drawing to a close-the first
of April being the limit-a public meet
ing was called at City Hall Saturday
evening. At the time designated a
goodly number OF public-spirited men
assembled to give expression to their
views, and show their willingness to do
whatever might be deemed prudent to
push the pending issue to "a successful
termination. Judge Brown was elected
chairman of the meeting, and the ball
opened. j. N. Hall, M. G. Willard,
Hon. Jas. Brown, w. b. Torrey, Z. S.

A Worthy Bestowal.

The hearts of Rev. Albert Warren and
wife " ere gladdened this week by the
reception OF valuable box of bedding,
clothing, etc., from their friends of the
College Street church, New Haven,
Conn. Mr.. w. and wife were members
-of this church when they came to Man
kato, and must have left many dear
friends behind, if one may Judge by the
contents of the box and the expressions
of love which were found in little notes
pinned to the different articles. In the
letter notifying them of the packing
and sending of the box, the writer
speaks of the pleasure and JOY it gave
them to thus give expression Of their
love and esteem. Neither is this the
first time they have been remembered
by the same friends in similar way.
These substantial tokens of esteem are
very precious to Mr.. and Mrs. w., not
merely on account Of their money value,
but because they are expressions of the
interest and love of those they have left
in the east. Their money value how
ever, ought not to be lightly esteemed.
Every member OF the family was re-
membcred. There were dress patterns,
suits of clothes, shawls, blankets, quilts.
pillows, almost everything needed to
make a family comfortable, besides
money to be used in buying books; a
hundred and twenty-five or thirty dol
lars would be low estimate for the
contents of the box. We are sure Mr..
Warren's friends here will rejoice with
him in his good fortune, as both he and
his wife have endeared themselves to
the people of tins city by their Ch rist
ain activity and cooperation in every
good work.
On Sunday last Mr.. Warren rendered
his resignation OF the pastorate of the
Congregational church here, to take
effect about May first, and at that time
he will leave MankatO for new field of
labor, but where we have not been nd.
vised. During his brief residence
among us Mr.. Warren has made many
friends. There was nothing connected
with church matters too arduous for
him to undertake and carry out, and
in his withdrawal the denomination will
lose pastor that faltcred not neither
did he tire. He is Woodworking,
earnest Christian gentleman, and where
ever he may go the best wishes of all
his friends will accompany him and his
family.

REPUBLacASs INTERVIEWED The Balti-
more News makes report Il the following
interviews with prominent republicans:
Col. y. ii. Webster, collector Of the port.
said he had never known the republican
party 20 be more harmonious than az pres
eEt or in better condition g make winning
fight. he ascribed this in some measure {
the fact that recently the custom house had
been administered lIyrpn hnsinsss principles
and had not been suffered to interfere with
politics. Men are entitled 20 their oTininD,
Of course, bat it was altogether wrong 90 use
the power Of Federal patronage for the de-
cisi0n of party questions. There were fear
crtakerz in the counties and the city aud
always would be. but thcir number was
never less than now. It was entirely too
early ffH any Republican 20 say what the
party sh0uld do under certain circumstances.
The proper policy was % wait and give the
enemy chance 70 fritter away its ammuni-
ton, and then fall upon Il in detail and
crush IL. The occasion might arise for n
combination Of the Republicans vita one 81
the disappointed factions, but il would be-
unfortunate where there are such fair chances
Of party triumph.
Major II. Cay Nail, surveyor of the port.
said he thought the sentiment in the Repub-
lieAu party was that in State politics there
should he complete separation Of parties.
and the fight should he made on the strength
Of the reform character of the Republican
party. A man should be nominated for gov
eTnog who was above reprOaeh. and who rep
resented no faction or clique. but who could
secure the united support Of all Republicans.
In city affairs there should be no politics.
''CJ. Charles L. Wilson. deputy survey
or. said he didn't believe, with the present
chances Of the Republican partv, there would
be any combination with disaf1ected Demo-
Gratis. The Democrats were, Of course, at
liberty to vote fuF the Republican candidates
and would be heartily welcomed into the
fold, but he did not think the Republicans
would consult these gentlemen as 10 Whist
nominations they would make"

THURSDAY MORNING. April lslA. 1883.

Az UPEILL JoB.-0ur neighbor
Of the Enterprise will find it an up-
hill Job to satisfy the people Of St.
Mary's county that it is to their in
terest to pay 40 per cent, which Is
about the average tax they have to
take out Of their pockets under the
operations of the present tariff TO buy
every thing they eat, wear or use in
the line Of the protected industries.
instead offrom 20 to % per Ct, which
is about the average they would have
to pay under q tariff for revenue
ample to support any economical adj
ministration Of the Federal govern
ment. But we had forgotten--a ma
tionaI debt is a national blessing and
the larger the debt the greater the
blessing. Hence private debts are
also blessings, and hence again the
mere taxes we pay. the better we are
off, and hence moreover, If our county
taxes, instead of being cent on the
dollar, were 2 cents on that amount,
we should be twice as well off as we
arc and on the high road to prosperi-
tyl Take sugar. which is used in
every household in the county.
The Government last year col
lected $47, 100000 of revenue from
this article alone. The value of the
sugars imported which Welded this
revenue was 500, 525,732. Thus it
appears that imported sugars were
taxed 81 per cen: of their value. The
entire value Of the native production
for the year falls below $4,000, 600.
1t is estimated that each person con-
sumes annually an average OF forty
pounds Of sugar. Every man, woman
and child is taxed. therefore. on the
single article of sugar alone an amount
greater than half the actual value OF
the article. IL it n good thing for the
sugar consumers of st. Marys, which
is everybody, to pay double price for
this sweetening? 1t will be an uphill
Job to establish this proposition to the
satisfaction Of the sugar consumers OF
the county. The most that can Dc
shown is, that it is good thing fol-
the sugar makers. But the new
tariff greatly reduces the duty on
sugars. Yes, and there will soon be
u tumble in sugars. Reduce it on
every thing else but luxuries and
there will also be a tumble in every
thing else but Injuries. Take salt
for another illustration. the tar
lift tax on which is about 80 per cent.
but our limited space cOmpels us &c
reserve this illustration for future
comment.
