OUR CHARTER ELECTION,

Tuesday next is our city election Al.
though the matter has not been extensive
ly agitated, still there Is a large preron-
derance of sentiment in favor of high
license for the saloon. The voters of this
city who believe in high license, and desire
to see it brought about. should give the
mater some attention. Only candidates for
Aldermen who will pledge themselves to
work for a license of four or five hundred
dollars, should be elected. The towns all
about us are coming to this. Albert Lea
has charged $500 for several years. Roch-
ester has just secured an amendment to
her city charter making the minimum of
the license $500, and Faribault has like
bill before the Legislature, if it is not al
ready law Throw partisan politics to
the dogs, and vote for the high license
candidate In every ward. A united effort
in this direction will win success. If the
state high license law is passed, it will not
go into operation until next spring. So
do not wait. Now is the accepted time.

Hon. ROBERT C. WINTHROP, in his ad-
dress at the dedication of the Washington
Monument; makes this very good sugges-
ton:
Most happy would it be if the Both of
April, on which the first Inauguration of
Washington took place in 1889, could
henceforth be the date of all future inaug-
urations-as it might he by slight
amendment of the ConstitutiOn-giving
as it would, much needed extension to
the short sessions of Congress. and letting
the second century of our constitutional
history begin where the first century be-
gan.
At the close of the address he pays the
following beautiful tribute to the charac-
ter of Washlngton:
Our matchless obclisk stands proudly
before US to-day, and we hail it with the
Civilizations of united and glorious Ma
ton. 1t may. or may not. be proof against
the cavils of critics, but nothing;of human
construction is proof against the casual
ties of time. The storms of winter must
blow and beat upon it. The action of the
elements must soil and dlscolor it. The
lightnings of heaven may scar and blacken
it. An earthquake may shake its founda,
lions. Some mighty tornado, or resistless
cyclone may rend its massive blocks asun-
der and hurl huge fragments to the
ground. But the character which it COM
memorates and illustrates is secure. 1t
will remain unchanged and interchangeable
in all it's consummate purity and splendor,
and will more and more command the
homage of succeeding ages in all regions
OF the earth. God be praised, that char
acter is ours forever.

THE Senate defeated the high license
bill last week Monday. Their action
raised such storm of indignation among
their constituents, that on Friday they
passed another bill called the graduated
high license bill" This makes the mini
mum license $500 for cities of over 10000
Inhabitants; $3.50 for cities over 2,O0O
and less than 10. 900; 800 in incorporated
villages of less than 1900, and $50 in
rural towns. The very same day, the
House, in committee of the whole, re-
commended for passage a bill fixing the
license at the uniform rate of $500. Mr..
Pattee of Mortified. opposed the gradu
ated bill with good reasoning, as will be
seen from the following extract:
The reason, I think. that we should
have clean. cut $500 license is that the
country. towns, the prairies, do not need
any licenses at all, because there is little
or no liquor sold there. You come into
the little towns of fifty or so and you
need no license there, because there arc
no saloons there. But as you, come into
the centers of population you find these
groggeries to tempt the temptable. and

The winter schools are beginning to

our schools excellent work has been done.
Quite number of our teachers have
been using Mrs. Knox's primary language

pleased with it. AS this is now state

use it. 1t can be found at Dorr & Wolds,
Austin, and probably at other book stores
in the county.

THE committee appointed under re-

status of the st. Cloud, Mankato & Aus

shameful manner in which he has used

two years than over all the other public

The high license law of Illinois has re-
duced the number of saloons in Chicago
within six months from $500 to 8, 200, and
has added 81, 500, 900 to the revenue of the
city. Under the new law $500 is the
minimum tax, and any community can
make itsas high as they please. The law
has worked so well in Illinois that the
Chicago Tribune says ANY attempt to
repeal it would be laughed out of the
legislature" In some of the Illinois
towns where the tax is 81, 900 the number
of saloons has been cut down one half,
and the time devoted in the police courts
to cases of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct is very greatly abbreviated. The
system of high license has been tried suf-
ticiently to demonstrate that it is the
most practical and efficient approach to
complete control over a recognized evil
yet known. The Wisconsin legislature
has under consideration high license
measure similar to that in operation in
Illinois. In the latter state there is every
indication that there is under the Harper
law, much greater degree of control
over the liquor traffic than in Iowa where
prohibitory liquor law is in force
