Bargains in Real Estate.
FhG Time to Invest in Valuable Prop,
GTty in a Prosperous City is Now.
A Few Points Worthy Thought.
full Consideration

Advantageous investments in city real
estate are only made in prosperous and
growing cities, and more particularly in
cities which possess natural resources
through which men of energy and cap
Ital are offered opportunities for estab-
fishing factories of various kinds. Such
city is Mankato, with her inexhaus-
table stone quarrses, cement stone, clay,
suitable not only for building brick but
also for fire brick, pottery, ETC., lime,
sand of a superior quality for glass, and
a great variety of all kinds of wood.
Among the successful Industries already
established here are the Mankato Lin
seed Oil works, Fiber works, Cement
works, Tile works, Tub factory, Canning
factory, Foundries and Machine shops,
Carriage works, Paint works, FIGURING
mills, Cigar factories, Lime kilns, and
Brick Yards. Our wholesale business
has, during the past year exceeded
the most sanguine expectations. Among
those doing most gratifying business
are: Wholesale grocery, drug, boot and
shoe, and dry goods houses
Mankato, as railroad center, offers
exceptional transportation facilities
something in this particular equal to the
larger cities-and each year witnesses
additional consideration in this essen
tiai. At present we have the Chicago,
1t. Paul, Minneapolis d Omaha, with its
branches; the Chicago d Northwestern,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul
railroads, and the Cannon Valley road
is now nearly completed into the city
and will be in operation in the early
spring. We have street railway, es-
tablished about four months since,
which is doing prosperous business,
and has proven a great convenience To
our citizens.
nj that is needed to make Mankato a
laT,e city is capital and enterprise. Let
CAPITALISTS and men of energy visit our
city with its contiguous fine agricultural
country and take advantage of all or 4
portion of the favorable opportunities
offered. The time is certainly coming,
and at no remote period, when Manka-
to will rank with the largest cities IN the
State and in the whole Northwest.
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth are
now classed as the largest of our Mime
sofa cities, and Mankato will soon fall in
as next in rank.
MankatO Is increasing in population
very rapidly. She has now quite 10, 600
inhabitants, and never in her history
WAS there such an opportunity offered
for investing in real estate as at present.
An investment made at this time will
pay an enormous interest by the open
ing of spring.

THE STORY OF THE FISHERIES
TROUBLE.

To fully intelligent understanding of
the present difficulty between our fisher
men and British authorities, and which
has resulted in the seizure of several
American fishing vessels by the English,
and in a call by Congress for the facts, a
succinct statement of the history of our
fishery interests, as related by English au-
thority, is necessary. II is by no means
difficult of comprehension. In brief, this
is the story of the fisheries trouble:
BY treaty with Great Britain September,
1888, recognizing our independence, our
right to fish on the Grand Banks and all
other Newfoundland banks, and in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, was conceded as ex-
isting and to continue. Also, the liberty
to fish on the Newfoundland coast as the
British might designate, but not to dry or
cure on the island, and like grant ex-
tended to all coasts, bays and creeks of
English dominions in America, with lib
erty to dry and cure in unsettled BAYS and
| cISehs Vi -NoNd cCOtli, luS hsStdtcH
Islands and Labrador, but that right to
cease as such places became settled. This
treaty We have regarded as equivalent to a
deed of partition, and therefore perma-
nent The English held that it was not a
unity, part being permanent and part sub
ject to abrogation, and that they were alb
rogated by the war of 1912.
In 1914 the treaty of Client was made,
and was silent as to fisheries, because the
countries could not agree on the question.
Conflicts between our fishermen and Brit
ish authorities followed, until new treaty
was made October, 1918. That recognized
our right to fish on the south Newfound-
land coast, from Cape Ray to the Rameau
Islands; on the west and north coast from
the Cape TO the Quirpon Islands; on the
shores of the Magdalen Islands; on coasts,
bays and creeks from Mont July, ON the
south coast of Labrador, through the
Straits of Belle Isle and northward in
definitely, and to dry and cure in unsettled
bays. We renowned the right to fish, dry
and cure within three marine miles of
any other British-American coast, but re-
served the right to enter English bays and
harbors for shelter, to repair damages, buy
wood and obtain water, and for no other
purposes.
In doing this we knowingly omitted the
words to procure bait" Afterwards We
were anxious to have this privilege of
buying bait in English harbors. The
English objected to our renouncing the

GOOD ADVICE IN CHICAGO.

The Chicago Current, which has been
and is the stanch friend of the work
ing man, and has at times, we have
thought, stood so straight up for good pay,
short hours, fair treatment, ETC., as to lean
backward little, comes to the front now
with some very practical advice to the
workingmen of Chicago. "As we'll
wisher of wage-worlers," it says, it speaks,
and claims, most justly, the right to do SO.
1t thus comments, and its advice will fit
other and all localities where similar stu
ations develop.
To the various unions we say. the time has
come for the use of coneiliatory methods. 1t is
the duty of every man in office in every union
in the land to bend his energies now toone end
That end should be to secure an immediate re-
sumption of work at all costs. Why? Because,
at present. the populace is in state of alarm,
and is not fitted to settle the questions that are
up for solution The big men in society are
half panic-stricken. A little more and they will
lay down their offices in society, and then So
ciety will be in a bad way. The public institu-
tions of society cannot exist with so much strlk-
ing. Society can be torn down, but il must then
be built up again. The men of the unions are
too far ahead of their leaders therefore those

and cooperate with them to preserve social or

so extravagant as to defy credulity. Some brew

rent hopes to secure them. But, of all things

wise, and you will be doing the only reasonable
thing and the only practicable thing consistent
with your happiness.

CONTROL OF POPULAR CLAMOR.

Yielding to public clamor born of heat
and the youth of agitation, is the subject of
just animadversion by the San Jose ler-
c,1y, and it points its sermon by citing the
anti-Chinese excitement under which GER
tain ordinances were demanded in San
Jose that could by no possibility hold
water. Certainly, the true man, the press,
the trustee of the public Office should keep
cool and not swim with every high tide
because it appears to be popular 1t is
criminal to yield to popular demand that
is wrong; so, too, it is folly TO be crushed
beneath the wheels of car that cannot be
stopped by the sacrifice. Hard-headed,
rock--stubborn opposition to popular clamor
is by no means the best policy at all times.
Public passion is oftenest best controlled,
and its mad haste checked, by giving it
some rein by not jumping squarely in its
path. 1t is often well to do as we saw one
in the street the other day run beside the
maddened horse few feet, until he had
the bride well in hand, and then was
applied the force needed to stop the
frightened beast. So it is that oftentimes
wrong movements are best counteraeied by
adroit management rather than by such
policies as tend the more to inhame.
" Selling the bull by the horns is well
enough, but one should be first well as
sured Of his grip. The great successes in
control of popular clamor by leaders have
been those where GOODNESS ruled and care
full and adroit management turned the
currents of passion into the steady flow of
reason. There are martyrs and martyrs,
and heroes and heroes, but some of the
most devoted and heroic have been those
who were neither burned at the stake nor
drew blade.

To PREVENT DAMP WALLs.-A recent
German invention, composed of pulverized
iron and linseed varnisb, is intended for
covering damp walls, outer walls, and, in
short any place or vessel exposed TO the
action of the open air and to the weather.
Should the articles to be painted be ex-
posed 10 frequent changes of temperature,
hnseed oil varnish and amber varnish are
mixed with the paint intended for the first
two coats, without the addition of any arti-
fetal drying medium. The first coat is APP
piled rather thin, the second one little
thicker and the last in rather fluid state.

edge of this day in regard to sanitation of
towns and cities, we assume too much.
According to DR.. Garfield before the Health
Officer Association in England, twenty-five
hundred years ago in Rome the necessity
for removing surplus rain water for pre-
venting dampnesS in the soil of residences
was fully recognized, and emphatic ex-
preston was made upon the subject. A
grand drainage system was there instituted
by Tarquin the Elder, and portion of il
is still in operation. The chief drain OF
Tarquin's system, DIR. Coriield pronounces
the foremost pattern to this day of good
drains. So, too, the device for deoderiz
ing filth by mixing with dry earth is a.
old as the Mosaic period Even the
watereloset, supposed to be modern de
vice, turns out to be an ancient invention
in use years ago, and remains of these con
yenient instruments of sanitation have
been found in the palace of the Caesars ant
in the ruins of Pompeii.

BOOTH AND THE DRAMA.

1t is explained that Edwin Booth is so
very weak physically, that he is overcome
by the slightest stimulant, and that small
quantity of Sauterne, taken four hours be-
fore, was the occasion of his fall at the
footlights recently. However that may
be, Booth is entitled to our charity. One
who has done so much for dramatic art as
he; who has so labored to enoble and
purify it; who has, by long life, so
adorned profession that is justly open to
so much Of assault, should not be harshly

Iowa now has statute deprivipg nom
resident aliens of the privilege of holding
real estate. After three years from the
date of the Act all such holdings forfeit
to the State, which will put the lands up at
public vendue. There is a grave question
as to the constitutionality of the law. As
to its policy, there is division of senti-
ment in Iowa. For years New England
States refused aliens, even when resident,
the privilege of owning realty, and would
not permit them to pass property by will.
The sentiment against absentee landlords
is one that is commendable. The nom
resident owner, who is at the same time an
alien, is a drag upon any community. No
matter how liberal or enterprising his in
terest is not such in a community
where his possessions lie as it should be-
Holding realty here and remaining in
England with allegiance to that Govern
ment never will meet with approval by
Americans. Our owners Of real property
ought to be of us, and with us, and if
American citizens, all the better. Alien
owners cannot come into harmony with
the progressive spirit of our people, or
into right relation with our social or
political systems.

HATED TO SHOOT ON SUNDAY.-An ex-

the Central Presbyterian Church in St.

The Doctor reached over the side of his
bed, picked up small stick, and, pointing
it directly at the intruder, said . Now, if
you don't get out of here I'll shoot you
dead. would hate to shoot you on Sun
day and disturb the quiet of the day, but il

burglar turned on his heels, rau through
