tised as speakers.
The county commissioners Of Blue

license Of VIM. Hubmer, ofLake Madi-
son, on the charge of selling liquor to
minors and habitual drunkards.
The chances of fatal accident in rail
way travel are said to be but one in 10,
| 100000. Statistics show more are
killed by falling out of the windows
than in railway accidents.
The St. Peter papers complain be-
cause the city council provides for grad
ing only a portion of a street and leaves
a very needy portion ungraded. This
is in keeping with their councils
usual custom of doing everything by
halves and the papers have no doubt
good reason to kick.
A. G. Davis, a printer, was arrested
at Mankato last week by U. S. Marsh
al Bracket, charged with sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails. 1t ap-
pears that the young man has been be-
fore the courts heretofore on a similar
charge but was released. 1t will no
doubt go hard with him this time.
A considerable falling off is reported
in the immigration to this country in
the first six months of the present year

nation has arrived at such stage of
development that this let up in the
flood furnishes no occasion for solicit
ude.
The St. Peter Tribune tells of Lake
Prairie farmer threshing 325 bushels of
oats from three acres of land. Crops
may be good this year but this is too
rich to accept on hearsay, and we
| would want to see the man who
threshed it before believing that any
portion of Nicollet county can average
| 100 bushels to the acre.
Complaint has been made against the
democratic post master of Minneapolis
and an investigation by the civil service
| commission will soon be in order. Thus,
one by one, the reforners Of the Cleve-
land administration are being taught a
lesson on their own discovery, aud, what
four years ago, they considered q nee
essary medicine for republican officials,
seems to work equally well on them
selves.
| One pensioner OF the government has
just had piece of good luck. His
name is Richard Whiting, aud in 1883
he was granted a pension OF S24 per
month. which was subsequently in
creased to $50 per month. Afterwards,
through a mistake made by surgeon,
the pension was reduced to $8 per month.
The pensioner applied for a reopening
of his case, and Assistant Secretary
Bussey has just decided that he is en-
titled to a pension of $72 per month
and arrears since his discharge, which
will amount to $4,000.
The Minneapolis Journal gives its
opinion Of Heatwole, of the Northfield
News, in his TRADES against the ..hog-
gishness of Minneapolis, in the follow
language: The News is standing upon
dangerous ground Through It's atti-
tude it assumes that the chief end of
1 politics is the distribution Of the offices.
That the sole mission of political par
| ties is to exemplify the Jacksonian
adage, Ito the victors belong the spoils. I
That just as soon as the party in power
fails to distribute the .spoils to the sat
isfaction of every wing Of the party and
every aspiring politician who makes
his political faith the lever of his ambi-
ton, just that soon the party utterly
fails in fulfilling It's mission and can
GELS all obligations it may have placed
upon its voting constituency by its
achievements in the past To adont
