THE malignant personal attack made
upon Congressman Lind by to-day's
St. Paul Globe is as brutal and uncalled
for exhibition of venom as we remember
of seeing. The only excuse the Globe
offers for Its half column of abuse and
bar-room epithets is Mr.. Lind's recent
svowal that he did not propose to vote
for the Mills tariff bill. So far as the
course the Globe is concerned it can
not but prove of service to Mr.. Lind and
render him more popular than ever with
the people of the Second district. 1t is
quite apparent that the Globe had ex-
pected by means of flattery in the past
to make such an impression upon Mr..
Lind that for the sake of its adulation he
would forsake the interests Of his party
and constituents and follow a course
marked out for him by that free trade
sheet. Seeing that such course had no
effect, other means were employed, and
several times recently that paper has
contained open threats of the dire dis
aster which would befall Mr.. Lind's
prospects if he failed to give his support
to the Mills bill. But the latter method
of whipping Mr.. Lind into line had even
a sorrier effect flor the Globe than the
fattery racket. When Mr.. Lind heard
of the boast of the st. Paul sheet that
the free traders had a mortgage on his
vote he was doubtless "riled," and he
at once caused it to be publicly stated
that under no circumstances would he
vote for the tariff bill now before the
House. This bold and manly stand evil
IDENTITY greatly disconnected and agera-
waited the Globe. 1t was clear illustra-
ton of the futility of its adulation or
threats, and it is not surprising that it
should resort to the method of the
blackguard as it did to-day. When the
matter is considered from all sides the
attack of the Globe appears more and
more contemplate. A particular feature
of this tariff bill would be the taking of
81 500, 600 annually directly from the
pockets of the farmers of Mr.. Lind's dis
trict. Could there be more supreme i'm
pudence than to ask that gentleman to
support such project? The entire bill
is full of just such incongruities and un-
Just features. Mr.. Lind, like all other
Republicans, is in favor of a proper re-
vision of the tariff and when q proper
bill is presented it will receive his sup
port. But his constituents have always
known-and the Globe seems to know now
that he does not favor so-called tariff re-
form on the Globe free |
trade basis.

but the result will pay for all the trouble.
1t will show the people of the country

An Extraordinary Phenomenon.

No other term than the above would
apply to the woman who could see her
youthful beauty fading away without a
pang of regret. Many woman becomes
prematurely old and haggard because of
functional arrangement. What a pity
that all such do not know that DR.. Pier
ce's Favorite Prescription will restore
their organs to a normal state, and make
them youthful and beautiful once more!
For the ills to which the daughters Of
Eve are peculiar liable the "Prescrip-
ton" is a sovereign remedy. 1t is the
only medicine sold by druggists under a
positive guarantee from the manufac-
turers, that it will give satisfaction in
every case, or money will be returned.

his talent in that direction seems just

BADEAU should succumb, for his at
tempts to secure money from the family
of the late General Grant are not popu-
lar and the more he says the worse will
be the publlc's estimation of him. Ba-
deau doubtless aided General Grant in
the preparation of his memoirs to the
extent that the amanuensis of any auth
or can be said to aid in the writing of
his employers books. But the facts and
experiences were Grants own and the
impudent claim of Badeau made when
the General is in his grave should re-
ceive the disapproval it merits. Badeau
will never make the American public
believe that If there was any unsettled
account between himself and General
Grant for services rendered 1t was moi
in favor 90 .hs latter. When it is con
sIdered what Badeau would have been
had he not received the recognition and
assistance of Grant, the matchmaking
claim of the former on the family Of the
great hero appears revolving.

The signal service weekly weather
crop bulletin, issued Saturday, reports
that the backwardness of the season has
been general throughout the country,
but an improvement in crop conditions
is generally reported throughout the
states of the Mississippi Valley. The
killing frosts of the 18th and 18th are re-
ported as having injured fruit in the
northern portions OF the gulf states,
Missouri, and Tennessee, although the
weather conditions in the Southern
states were favorable for small grains,
except oats, which have been somewhat
injured by freezing weather. The alter
nate freezing and thawIng have doubt
less proved more or less injurious TO the
winter wheat in the states east of the
Mississippi. Heavy SHOWS prevented
injury to wheat in the middle Atlantic
states. The ground remains frozen and
covered with snow in the Northwest and
i'm Minnesota and Wisconsin.

DocToR AMEs announces confidence in
his ability to defeat McGill or any other
man the Republicans may nominate for
Governor. This will doubtless secure
for HIM the Democratic nomination, for
there are not many men in that party
who are so confident, and the Minneap-
oils Mayor will be welcome to the job II
he wants it. But 1t occurs to us that Mr..
Ames was just rs sanguine of his strength
two years ago as he is at present. If he
could not be elected at that time it
seems that his claim of ability to defeat
"McGill or any other man" this year,
when the Republican ticket will have
the prestige of Presidential canvass to
carry it through, should be taken with a
due allowance of qualification. This is
doubtless the view taken by good
many Democrats who are not enthusiasts
tic over the candidate who boasts of a
strength that is confined largely to the
worst elements of the State.

CONGRESSMAN LIND emphatically denies
that he will support the Mills free trade
bill. No one has seriously thought he
would, as Mr.. Lind is not given 10 lend
ing his support to measures so void of
merit and so full of incongruitles. The
one feature of including linseed oil and
faxseed in the free list is of itself suffic-
lent to urge Mr.. Lind to oppose the
measure, for he is representing an agri-
cultural constituency that receives di-
rectly over one and half millions of
dollars annually from the very product
that Mills would destroy, while he indi-
rectly represents an agricultural section
that receives more than four times this
princely sum every year from the same
product.
. No, Mr.. Lind can be credited with too
much good sense to support Mills bill.

PLAN FOR THE IMPROVEMENT
OF THE WATER-WORkS
SYSTEM.

The following plan for the water-works
improvements, presented by the city
engineer, was adopted at the meeting of
the council last night: -
To The HUr0raDte Common Council Of He
City of Mankato;
GENTLEMEN--As ] think it advisable
for You to present to the voters on cleo
ton day some plan for the imnE0Yement
OF the water-wOrks, LIQUID submit the
following: Rniidi the the pump house
on tie river bank at the foot of Wash
ington street, there being ground there
that can be used for that purpose with
out interfering with adjoining property
The pump can be set at point where
easy and perfect suction can be had
from the river, the suction pipe to enter
some distance above outlet of sewer
But it is expected to be used only in
case of emergency. The ten-inch sup
ply pipe from the well to be continued
from Front street down Washington
street to pump hOuse-a distance of
about 500 feet-and twelve-inch pipe
to be land from pump house to connect
with water mains on Front street. In
regard to pumps | would recommend
the purchase of two separate pumps of
not less than one and One-half million
gallons capacity each in twenty -four
hours For the above plant complete |
would estimate the cost at $4,000, leav-
ing about $1,000 for extending street
mains, which would lay one and one
half or two miles of six-inch main.
AS the reservoir can be completed in
very short time and it will be of no
use until other than the present arrange
ments are made | would think it advis-
able that imm cdiate action be taken in
regard 10 plan and the matter thor
oughly canvassed between now and
election, so that work can be commenced
Immediately afterwards and the city get
the benefit of it the commencing season,
