SCOTT County Argus: Belle Plaine
comes to the front. so it is rumored,
with an offer of a magnificent court
house to be built on centrally located
site consisting of whole block, which
the enterprising borough is ready to do
nate to Scott county if the county seat
should be moved to that place. Belle
Plaine Is as justly entitled to be the
county seat as any place in the county
and if Shakopee should be compelled by
adverse fortune TO lose the coveted prize
we prefer to see it removed to Belle
Plaine than any other place in the
county.

Z. p. O'CoNNoR, M. F., one of the

predicts that the Tory party is to be
wrecked by Lord Randolph Churchill.
"He is the dark horse in the back
ground that may at any moment make
the running and go to the front, and
his burning and consuming hope and
idea is to defeat the present Govern

is noticeable everywhere that capital is
combining to control all marketable
products in order to prevent the fall of
prices and to make the people pay more
for what they use than the articles
would bring under the old system OF
competition in the open market. This
development we owe to the economic
system falsely named Protection. The
more orthodox economists teach that
s'the great law Of supply and demand
regulates prices always. and now we
see this law, in all sections of the coun-
try, put to a test unoreamed of by them.
The truth seems to be that the amount
of money has increased so enormously
that those who control it have actually
combined to prevent the country from
enjoying its own products. Protective
tariffs ard combinations of capital
have been set squarely to circumvent
the natural laws, Against this glgan-
tic iniquity mankind is everywhere re-
belling and that rebellion is the form
which the outraged law takes to read
just itself. Damned up water produces
stagnation, rank growths and malar-
ious exhalatlons, so vast boards of
wealth have produced state Of society
reeking with vice, luxury and sensuality.
Below the dam all is sterility, poverty,
want and barrenness. But those who
dwell in the dreary valley see and know
the cause of their sutfings and have be-
gun to gather their forces for an attack
on the dam that deprives them of their
just share in the waters of life. II they
are strong enough to knock away the
props and food should follow, not
they, but he who unwisely and avari-
cionsly confined the waters will be to
blame. 1t is impossible to suppose that
the working people will long submit to
the system Of economic slavery the
money kings throughout the land are
endeavoring to establish.
Let us not deride this fact. It is the
great question of the day, paramount
to all others, and we should calmly and
eranestly consider it together for the
best interests of all. 1t IS something
that has already challenged the deepest
consideration of the best minds in
America. and their verdict is that un-
less the tyranny of wealth be in some
way relaxed and more humane and
benifcent ideas take possession Of those
who now have no thought save how
they can most effectually beggar their
neighbcrs, a revolution more terrible
than any thing the world has ever
known must follow as surely as night
follows day.

From the Daily Press.

Tribune: If there are 10000 boomers
in Oklahoma now there are about 30,-
900 revolvers, and in a month there will
be 5000 boomers and 4,000 corpses, but
still $4,000 revolyers. This is not SO
hard to figure out as it looks to be.
Journal: That was a very sensible
ruling Of the attorney. generals, that it
didn't make any difference if the lost
Winnipeg s. Duluth forfeiture bill
should not be found; that a certified
copy would do just as well. The
law is just the same, whether written or
printed on one piece Of paper or an
other. 1t was the intent of the bill the
legislature was voting On, and not sim
ply the original draft Of the bill. A
certified copy can express the same
ideas, and that is all that is necessary.
Globe: Home rule, with it's new de-
partures and enc0uragements, is appar-
emily the only chance to stay the grad
ual depopulation Of Ireland. A recent
statement of the local authorities puts
the figures as low as 4,777,5 This is
reduction Of 400, 900 in the past eight
years, and falling awav of nearly one
half the population of lS41. The young
and lgorcus generally emigrate, and
the elements left are not sufficiently
productive to prevent retrogression.
Massachusetts is twice as populous as
Ireland, and has inferior natural re-
sources. A change Of some kind in
Ireland is an evident necessity.
Pioneer Press: The passage by the
Canadian parliament of the Weldon ex-
tradition bill is al event of the widest
interest to the United States. This is
the measure described some weeks ago,
which authorizes and directs the law
officers of the Dominion to surrender,
On demand, persons charged with en-
bezzlewent or swindling. 1t is de-
signed to cover the absence of an ex-
tradition treaty applying to these
crimes, and it's passage on Tuesday re-
fleets great honor upon the people of
Canada, grown weary of the reputation
of offering hospitable asylum for all
the unpunlshed rogues of their neigh :
bors.

Guthrie, Oklahoma territory, is now
a thriving CITY of 10000 souls. Last
Monday morning it had little more than
a corporal's guard of people. Those
who were there then, however, were
United States marshals and others in
the employ Of the government for the
protection of property and of the people
who were to come, without any right
allowed them to make claim upon any
of the property until high noon, at
least, when that right had been reserv
ed for all the people. They needed not
the law, but grasped the choicest and
best before the bewitching hour had
come. This is a bit of Republican civil

The Democrats of the Twelfth ward are

O. 1t were. He is regarded by bis fellow
city fathers as an official endowed with more

However, the Republican element in the ward
will not give up the contest as long as they

What Is the matter with Fair Haven hav-

assertion on the part of the aldermen and
councilman from the two Fair Haven wards
to quietly give the police board a hint that
Fair Haven and the Annex are still located

abouts should not be over looked when the
commissioners are establishing new pre-
cincts. OF course this village and Its little,
but energetic brother east of the Quinnipiac,
are not as blood thirsty localities as those
wherein the new precincts are to be located.
But all the same, this part of the city pays
dollar or two in taxes, and should not be
neglected when these municipal prizes are
being distributed. Even If there are few
disturbances, or even If Mayor Niles of the
borough never has to read the riot act, this
community should not DO slighted.

storage for Apples.

IFrom Josiah Hopes in New York Tribune
The orchardist who raises fruit extensively
for market can afford to build apartments
suited to his needs, but the average farmer
who only seeks to have liberal supply 70,
family use, must depend upon celler or gar
ret for storage. The proper conditions 70,
retsrding decay are, an even COOL tempera-
ture "a few degrees above freezing point), and
then abstain from handling the fruit. Mois-
ture in connection with heat always hasteni
decomposition, but moderate amount of the
former in conjunction with low tempera.
ture preserves the fruit plump and juicy, and
perhaps retains the favor. When the crop ID
spread out thinly on slated shelves, ono may
notice the premonitory symptoms at once,
and remove all such without delay. Hand
ling the sound specimens is thus avoided,
and, as one rotten apple will soon convey the
corrupting influence to its neighbors, the
supply of good fruit can be retained much
longer by q weekly inspection. Wrapping
each specimen of valuable varieties in soft
paper unquestionably tends to preserve them
and retain the beautiful tints, but II prevents
the examination of their condition as they
approach maturity.

BOARD OF sEIKormEr.

Removed from the Old
AImshouse - The New Town Park
Bonds can net be El0ated at Four
Per Cent.-No Action Taken on she
Raise OF tho Salaries OF tho Assessors.
The board of selectmen held q regular
meeting last night, It was reported that the
old aims house was the a1mshouse no more,
for the men were transferred to the new
almshouse yesterday. Everybody has left
the old place and the matter of appointing
some one to act as watohman was talked Of.
It was thought better to rent part of the
building to family, If anyone could be
found who would rent It. The matter was
referred to the committee on almshouse and
outside poor.
The board reoonsidsrsd It action last week
in voting to float the new issue Of New Ha-
ven park bonds at four per cent. At that
time it was supposed that the vote of the
town meeting gave them this power, but later
information came that the town meeting
voted to have the selectmen float them at
81 per cent. City Treasurer Richardson
rendered the information that In the present
financial market 81 per cent. bonds could
not be placed. In view of this fact Select
of the bonds be deferred until town meet.
ing. The motion was carried.
This leaves the matter directly In the hands
of the park commissioners. If they
need the money on the bonds, they can cir
culate petition and have a special town
meeting held.
The committee that was appointed to &C.
cure Attorney John W. Allings legal opin-
ion as to whether the eelectmen had right
to raise the salaries of the assessors, reported.
Mr.. Allings opinion was read. 1t has already
been given in the COURIER. Mr.. Alling
says that the selsctmen have the
power to raise the assessors' salaries.
They can give them compensation
of cents on every 81 900, and a sum addi.
tional, which shall be good for only one year.
If the selectmen should vote to increase the
salaries to $4,000, such salary of each assessor
would begin last June and continue three
years, the term of Office of each.
Several selectmen were not quite ready tG
vote on the question, and wished to carefully
consider Mr.. Alling's opinion. They thought
that, according to the opinion, the board had
the right to increase the assessors salaries &c
SIC, 000, and they didn't quite think 1t was
meant that they should have such power.
Mr.. Alling's opinion was that the law did not
cover this point regarding New Ravens as
SCISSORS, and that as at present constituted
the selectmen had full power. Action will
be taken at the next meeting.
A committee consisting of Selectmen
Baecher and Klenke and Town Agent Todd
was appointed to take An inventory Of the
towns property.
