AS THE last juneau Telephone wisely
remarks, the Republicans, relying upon
what they have done in the past, such as
the opening upof public lands to settlers.
the issuing of greenbacks as an economic
aud wise financial policy, resumption of
specie payments, as measures to be Who'll
~ credited to their party, expect to draw
recruits to their ranks from among the
young men" in the coming campaign.
To the above popular and wise measures
The Telephone should have added the
passage of the constitutional amendments
declaring that slavery shall no longer ex-
list within the United States, and that the
right of citizens OF the United States to
vote shall not be denied by any state on
account of race or coler The Telephone
was so carried away with its feelings of
admiration for thoses good things that
the country is indebted to the Republicans
for, that it forgot to tell its readers that
each of these just measures was bitterly
opposed by the Democratic party, and
that that party can take no credit what
ever for their adoption Indeed, at the
present time the Democratic party of the
South place at defiance the 18th amend
ment and at every election nullify it to
SUCH az extent that elections in at least
five of the Southern states have become a

of the physicians. Those reported were:
Diphtheria, 10 cases with deaths; scar
let fever, 10 cases with l death. The en-
tire number OF deaths from all causes, as
near as could be determined, is 1919
adults and rs children. The only means
of ascertaining the number of deaths was
by visiting the uudertakers. Extra vigil
lance is counseled the present summer, on
account of the expected invasion of Asat-
ic cholera The health officer suggests
the passage of an ordinance requiring a
certificate of death before burial can take
place, and thus give something tangible
on which to base an annual report The
suggestion is also made of compulsory
vaccination of the school children. There
has been no smallpox in this vicinity the
past winter. The city from sanitary
standpoint is in a very satisfactory condi-
ton, our residents deserving of credit for
their endeavors to maintain its standing
in this respect. Thanks are due the city
council for kindness and courtesy, the
people for their willingness to follow in
structions, and the marshal for his prompt
ness in assisting the health officer in the
discharge of his duties.
The board rendered vote of thanks to
the health officer for his elaborate report
and his valuable services during the past
year.
The board will meet tomorrow Thurs
day. evening to canvass the votes and
hear the finance report OF the past year.

The Merrlll-PriOr Suit

The hearing of the case of the executors
of the S. S. Merrill estate against G. H.
Prior, for an accounting in the matter of
an alleged real estate trust, was resumed
by Judges Gresham and Dyer in the
United States circuit court yesterday fore
noon. The developments on the part of
the defense were very sensational, i'm
peaching the character of MIR. Merrill as
an officer of the St. Paul road, aud imput-
ing to bis actions in connection with
Prior, desire to profit at the expense of
the company in whose employ he was.
After the opening of the court, j. T.
Fish concluded his argument for the COM
plainants' side of the case, and then Judge
Geo II. Noyse opened for the defense
The main argument for Prior was made
by Joshua Stark, who finished at P. NJ
Mr. Stark held that 40 trust existed in
fact. In order to make trust binding,
there must be sufficient consideration in
the first place, and the consideration must
be expressed in the written instrument
creating the trust. According to Mr..
Merril's own statement, he never put
dollar into the transactions; he had in
terest in them, and ran no risk on his part.
Mr.. Fish-Me ;naugurated the
whole thing by directing Prior where to
locate the lands, which were to be first
used for depot sites and right of way, and
the rest for their own profit.
MIR. Stark-There is no proof of this.
Judge Gresham-Did Merrill know
where the lands were located?
Mr.. Fish-Yes. A man informed Mer-
r;II a,,d Narrill informed prior
Mr.. Stark resumed and said it was
fancy in counsePs mind that Mr.. Merrill
ever used his position and the ST. Paul's
money for his own benefit. Whatever he
did WAS for the benefit of the road Prior
had conceived the idea OF acquiring lands
adjacent to town sites, after town sites had
been procured, to profit himself, counsel
for the plaintiff we're only BUILDING a
mountain of mystery around the Merrill
Prior correspondence. They read too
much between the lines. Mr.. Merrill was
debarred by his Office from becoming
co-purchaser in these lands The subject
touched upon in his letters to Prior was
utterly indeinite-there was an absolute
uncertainty what the subject was. The
same was true with regard to Prior's let
tiers to Merrill. The purpose OF the trust
was wholly uncertain.
"What does he mean by town site?"
said Mr.. Stark. "What is included in
town site? There is no definition here.
Is it section, or 1000 acres, or is it a
plated tract of land? The letters mig ht
have been written to cover receipts OF
money. This is a trust to speculate In
real estate and II can't exIst uIder the
code of Dakota, which only recognizes
trusts to sell lands. Why is it not proba-
BILE that money was RENTED to Merrill
for the st. Paul road, and if Merrill put
it in his pocket, it is time for the ST. Paul
officials looked the matter UP, and deter
mine whether money was not diverted"
The closing argument for the plaintiff
was made by Gen. Winkler, and the case
was then taken under advisement.-Sen-
tineE, March %.

committee.

The Madison correspondent of The
Chicago Tribune speaks of the friendly
contest for governor between McFetridge,
Taylor and Ginty, limiting that the con-
test will narrow down to McFetridge or
Giuty, and as between these two it says:
Ed McFetridge is able, cool-headed and
adroit-a man who has lots Of warm
frienos. He was FIVE years state treasur-
err, and is well and widely known. These
two men are making neck-and-neck
race, but whoever wins there will be lit
tie feeling or friction, as they are close
personal friends. Either would make a
first-class governor.

A New Plan.

A plan has been suggested for a
National convention TO be ignored in
selecting a Republican candidate for
the presidency and leave the election
to the electors in case the Republicans
carry enough of the states. Let it be I'M
derstood, for instance, 10 New York that
Depew is the first choice of the electors,
in Ohio Sherman, in Indiana Gresham or
Harrison. in Iowa Allison, in Michigan
Alge-, in Connecticut Hawley, and so
down through the list. Then the electors
come together and elect the President and
vice-President. The trainers of the con-
stitution intended that the President and
vice-President should be chosen in this
manner. Washington and Adams were
so elected and this method of electing
continued until nearly Jackson's time.
The proposed change has its merits and
we would not be averse for it to have a
trial. 1t would at least head off entan-
clements likely to arise in the Repu blican
party, which menace success in the pre-
sent campaign through the "favorite son"
programme, which has become the rule

The Elections.

The Citizens ticket in Milwaukee head
ed by Thos. Brown for mayor, was elected
yesterday by about 900 majority, and
twelve of the twenty aldermen were
chosen by the citizens. The socialist can
didate Campbell, received 964 votes, and
this with the labor vote would have de-
feated Brown
In Chicago out of thirty aldermen
elected eighteen are Republicans.
E. W. Reyes, Repu blican, is defeated
by NJ. r. Dayon, Democrat, for mayor of
Madison by 3S5 majority
John Tspp, Democrat, was elected
mayor of Columbus and two Democrats
and one Republican aldermen. The issue
was Oh the saloons closing on Sunday,
and the saloons came out ahead.

Board of Street Commissioners

Meeting of the board of street commits
sioners Monday evening:
DR. F. Q. Moulding, health officer, read
his annual report. The city, the past
year, has been comparatively free from
sickness of very severe nature, and no
serious epi2emics have prevailed. Quite
a number OF deaths among old people
have occurred during the severe cold
weather of the late winter, but with this
exception the mortality for the year has
not been great. Great difficulty is exper-
fenced by the health officer in obtaining
an absolutely correct plumber of the deaths
that have occurred, with the age, sex and
cause of death. To remedy this certifi-
cate of death should be necessary before
burial. The sanitary condition of the city
improves each year, the people becoming
better educated to the Importance of
cleanliness. Now that the ground is be-
comicg uncovered of snow all filth aud
garbage of the winter should be cleaned
up. An epidemic of mumps and measles
occurred during the spring and summer,
some cases prevailing during the entire
year, but all were of mild type, with no
deaths reported from these causes. WhOop-
ing cough was also quite prevalent, but
no fata! cases are known. The report of
contagious diseases TO the health officer
has not been very closely observed by some
