TuE republican organs are great on
placing records on juXtaposition, but
here are some records they have omit
ted to place side by side. The one is
the record of the man who voted for
every grab, every subsidy, who used
his official influence rs key to let
him into jobs who sought to get
in ON the ground noor' to
reap the benefits of the land
grants he had gonc out of his way as
speaker of the house to secure the pas
sage of. The other is from the record
of man who believes that public
office is Il sacred trust;

traordinary proceeding, to say the
least, and recalls wildly the comedy
enacted in New York under the stage
management Of Gould, Tweed or Fisk.
There Is some question about the ne
cessity of the Fort Worth company OBJ
tanning permit from the city engi-
ueer. The company was, perhaps,
unfortunate in this-less fortunate, at
least, than was the Rosedale company.
These latter proceedings SAVIOR too
much Of injustice TO be left un-
noticed. The people rejoiced
when the Fort Worth company was
not permitted TO crush out all opposi-
tion but corporations have their rights
which should be respected especially
as against another corporation of equal
magnitude. The action Of the city
council Is not beyond criticism. The
investigation Of this question has been
made for the benefit OF that public
which just now is discussing the street
railway legislation of the council with
great interest.

Safe Robbery.

At few minutes before one o'clock
last Sunday morning, the safe in the
depot used jointly by the n. P. and
c. St. 2. NJ. e O. railroad companies
was very effectually and successfully
burglarized by parties as yet un-
known. The thieves gained an en-
trance to the office by breaking new
sash lock which had just been put on
the windows Saturday afternoon, and
raising the window. A hole was then
drilled through the top of the safe and
a heavy charge Of powder inserted
and the match then applied. The
powder did its work etfectually tear
ing the door from its hinges and hurl-
ing it across the room with such force
us TO nearly drive it through the side
of the building, all the windows at
that end of the depot was shattered,
the telephone apparatus demolished,
the looking glass broken, the inside
works of the safe torn to pieces and
the clock stopped, rs stated at about
one O'Clock and so badly injured that
it had to be taken to the jewelers. for
repairs
For all this trouble, waste of pro-
perty and risk, the robbers got $3.50,
careleSsly leaving Il ten dollar bill ly-
ing on the floor, which they can have
by calling on Mr.. E. J.. Harrison, the
agent. There was in the safe besides
the cash, quite large amount of ne
gotiable paper, but the robbers did
not seem to desire that kind of truck,
and only took one envelope which
was marked $500 but when they got
out and found that it only contained
$500 worth of receipts, they put them
back into the envelope and left it
where it could be easily found, not far
from the depot.
a couple Of rather suspicious char
acters were arrested Monday evening,
and were brought before Justice New
ton Tuesday morning, but no Grimm
ality could be attached to them, and
being young men without money or
aoy visa bio means of SiIDpOrt the
Justice thought they had better look
up some employment and gave them
one hour in which to get out of town
in, and they got.
Station Agent Harrison tells us he
is authorized to offer in the name Of
the railroad companies a reward of
500 for the capture of the thieves,
and it Is to be hoped that they may
YET be captured.

AIOnzO Palmer Post NO. I70,

On Saturday morning last Chief
Mastering officer, Dept. of Wis, G.
A. R., G. n. Days, arrived here to
complete the organization of a G. a.
r. Post here. The Duluth Post had
been invited to be present and would
have been, but by some misunder-
standing they failed to get a boat to
bring them over, although Command
er C. A. Nichols and five or six COM
rades did get here by row boat late in
evening.
About nine o'clock a number of the
old veterans assembled at Music Hail.
and after enrolling their names and
perfecting the organization, proceeded
to elect their officers after which they
were duly installed by Mastering Of
ticer Davis
After time spent in reviewing the
instructions given, the Post adjourned,
and, led by the Badger Cornet Band
Of this city, proceeded to another hall
where they were joined by their Du-
luth, visitors and all partook of an
impromptu army supper consisting OF
baked pork and beans, bareback, tea
coffee etc, after which the pipes were
lit, the boys sang song, little social
visit and some more music by the
band, the good nights were said, and
the taps" sent the boys to bed.
When all the boys have enrolled
their names, the Post will number
about 80 members. The name given
to the Post is in honor of fallen hero,
AIonzo Palmer, whose remains mould
er in our cemetery on the banks of the
Nemadii.
The first elective officers of the Post
are C.-J. l.. Christie; 5. V. C.-J.
d. Robbie: J. V. CT. T. Slayton;
