The Flooding business man
cannot fail to notice that there is
at least one man at Brainerd who
is more interested in the substan-
tial prosperity of his town than in
making political dickers, and that
is c. F. KINDRED. Mr.. Kindred
evidently does not propose to al
low politics to materially interfere
with his business affairs and push
es on, developing the improve
ments that in time will make Brai-
nerd a city. The people Of Brai-
nerd should, during the meantime,
not lose sight Of the fact that the
man who develops an industry
that employs labor and pays out
money in community does inf-
nitely more for the people than he
who manipulates primaries and
controls political conventions.

MY NOT?
A Subject Worthy OF Careful Con-
Siderat ton.

In view Of the contemplated res
1gnatlon Of Commissioner Atkins,
President Cleveland is undoubted-
y looking about to find a suitable
person to fill the Office Of Commiss-
Toner Of Indian affairs.
We repeat here the caption Of
this article, with suggestive ad-
dltlon. Why not the
Hon. H. M. RICE
OF this State ? The President
might search through every State
in this country, and fail to find a
more competent person. Indeed
we believe he could not find the
equal Of Mr.. Rice. His qualifca-
tions are those which spring from
long and intimate acquaintance
with Indian character and needs;
with perfect familiarity of the de-
tails Of necessary legislation in
behalf Of the Indian, consistent
with requirements of the govern
ment.
It must not be forgotten, first,
and above all that Mr.. RICE is
A Gentlemgn Of High Honor,
and a career without sully or blem.
ish. During the time of his pub
lie career in the history Of this
State, he was never guilty Of any
act in the slightest degree suscept-
able Of reproach. As delegate to
Congress, as U. S. Senator, and as
Special Commissioner in the ne
gotiation Of important treaties
with Indian tribes every action
was characterized by the highest
sense Of devotion to the country,
and just appreciation Of the right
Of the Indian.
A worthy representative of that
class now fast passing away: "the
gentleman Of the old school," he
would grace the department. by
his presence and be a guarantee
that callers at the Office would re-
ceive such treatment as is due the
courtesies and amenities of life.
Mr.. RICE is too much the gentle
man to be ever guilty Of discourte.
sy and arrogance, and would ex-
act from his subordinates the same
rule Of conduct as he himself
would pursue.
Although long retired from pub
lie life he has ever followed the
bent Of philanthropic mind and
has never lost sight Of the Indian
race. He is as well posted to-day
on the condition Of Indian affairs,
as when he stood upon the floor Of
legislative halls. His appoint
ment would meet the appreciation
Of all classes.
Mr.. RICE is not an office seeker
and the Office would have to seek
the man. We respectfully call the
attention of the Minnesota delega-
tion to the suggestion, and urge
upon the different members Of
both houses, irrespective Of party,
to bring forward the name Of this
gentleman in connection with the
place; which if they will do, and
he will consent to accept, will Sc
cure to the Government FAITH
Full SERVANT and the Indian a
TRUE FRIEND in a high place.
The Indian problem is pressing
strongly, and noW more than eUer
is needed a sKILFULL HAND AT THE
HELM; more than ever head over
the bureau whose knowledge Of
needs, and skill in methods is
Surpassed by None.

How 1t will be Rebuilt without Stopping
Traffic Over It.
There is no contract for rebuilding the
leaning pier for the new Panhandle
bridge at Steubenville, butt will be torn
down and rebuilt by the railroad COM
pany itself under the supervision of En-
gineer Becker. He says that it can be
done in twenty days by working three
gangs of masons who will work eight
hours each. Electric lights will be used
during the night season. The same stone
will be used, and each stone will be re-
placed at the point from which it was
taken out. The old pier will be torn
down to the foundation and leveled up,
the belief being that the foundation has
not settled the least since it was COM
pleted. The other piers will not be dis
turbed, now being wide enough to ac-
cOmmodate the new bridge, which will
be. three feet wider than the present one.

caster.
Piles will be driven in the bed of the
river upon which a timber trestle will
rest, and on this the new bridge will be
built, which will allow the use of the old
structure while the work going on. As
soon as one span of the new bridge is fin
ishcd the old one will be torn away and
the new he brought into use Immediate
ly. The new bridge will be for double
track and much stronger than the old
one. When it was built it was not con-
templated in the minds OF men that
the heavy engines and cars now used
would ever be made.
The work on the double track extern
sion is still being carried on with large
force OF men il the vicinity OF Hanlin's
and Dinsmore, and it is not thought that
there will be any stoppage OF this work,
as it is being done by the company
under the immediate supervision Of its
officers and employees and not by con.
trlct.

Wrrnourgoing minutely into Mr. Ran

that he has recognized a principle per,
ycrscly disregarded by Mr.. Mills and a

makes distinct declaration that the
tariff duties if placed below the line
of even competition necessarily increase
the rcvcnucs;" and that, on the contrary,
to raise duties above this point will as
certainly "reducc the revenues"

CLARxsBURa, W. VA, March IA
decided feeling OF indignation is felt by
the citizens here at the action of the
Council in not providing IN illuminant
TO dispel the darkness Of the streets.
The Council have refused to use any
more of the gus which has been fur
nished by the Gas Company unless it
can be obtained at o lower rate. This
proposition will not be accepted by the
Gas Company, who claim that at the old
rate they can Just barely afford to supply
the town with gus. Accordingly, the
illuminant has been cut of, and the town
is plunged in midnight darkness, which
condition makes it unsafe for men and
women to travel along the streets, with
out even taking into consideration that
it threatens the safety OF property.
A proposition has been submitted to
the Council by the Clarksburg Electric
Light Company to furnish the town
with either the arc or incandcscent
light ut u very reasonable figure.
No definite action has been taken so
far in making the proper provision for
Illuminating the town.
