Most of the persons who applied at
the last examination for certificates to
teach in the free common schools OF
this county do not appear to have
been sufficiently prepared for the ex-
animation, as more than seyenty-hve
per cent. of them failed to get ally
kind of certificate, and only one out
of seventeen applicants got first
grade certificate. If persons wish to
teach they should first qualify them
selves for the work, for an incompe-
tent teacher is totally unfit to teach a
school. A poor teacher is worse than
no teacher. Now, we do not know
who are the parties that failed to get
certificates, but we would kindly sug-
gest that they go back to their books,
study hard. and try again next time.
Failure this time may be the means o1
arousing their energies, and making
Unem Jue very best OF teachers.
No work has yet been done towards
repairing the jail. 1t is too bad to
have the old jail in the condition it is.
Lights of glass are broken out, the
wind and rain can beat in, and the
bedding is very poor. Besides the
jail is considered insecure. Reliable
contractors offered to do the work
necessary to make the jail secure and
comfortable for sixty dollars. Anoth-
er party offered to do the work fol
s4S. The commissioners naturally
gave the job to the lowest bidder,
but we would suggest that the last
bidder be required to give bond fol
the completion Of the work at once
or else it be given to a responsible
contractor. The work ought to be
done at once, and we hope it will be-
It is reflection on the whole county
to have the jail in the condition it is
when $50 will do all the necessary re.
pairs, and furthermore there is $50
cash in the treasury applicable for
this very work. Then the blankets
in the Jail are in fact nothing but
some cheap cotton goods. One good
heavy wool blanket would not cost
great deal more, and would be worth
ten times as much. The jail is moi
ordinarily intended as place of pun
ishment, certainly not of cruel punish.
ment, but as a place Of safety, and
the sspowers that be" should see that
the inmates of the jail are not subject,
ed to too great hardships.

THE RESULT.

Tuesdays election in Mankato was
no surprise in any particular except the
majority accorded Bienaph and the cleo
ton of Jorgensen for alderman. The
election of Pfau was pretty well assured
at four o'clock, while that of Bienapfl
had not been questioned from the first
II, as proved true, the laboring men
stood unswerved.
1t is easy enough to go on at this hour
and tell where Mr.. Jensen might have
gained here and there, or where Pau
might have been carved at other points.
But all this would be waste of space
and a superiority of language. The re-
turns show Pau was carried through on
the back of Mr.. Bienaph, and however
much it may wound his pride or self-con-
ceit he nor his friends can not deny the
allegation. 1t is too apparent to require
discussion. To be sure, Pau aided Mr..
Bienaph in his efforts. The mayor had,
as it is truly believed and as will be
proved later, promised Mr.. Andrew
Hanna place on the board OF public
works, and this fact, to a large extent,
accounts for the heavy vote accorded
the entire Democratic ticket in the sec
ond precinct of the Fourth ward.
The mayor, it is reported, in the ex-
uberance of his great joy last evening
over the victory won for HIM by Mr..
Bienaph, claimed that had it not been
for the opposition of the FREE Press and
a few others he would have been de-
feated. Poor, 3sluded soul. What
would he have done had he not thrown
Mr.. Dawes overheard and got down
upon his tiny knees and prayed with
those whom he mad abused in other po-
litical fights to save him from the wrath
to come?
If Mr.. Pfau won votes by the FREE
Press opposition he ought to be thank
full, for he certainly did not win them
upon his own popularity or by anything
he has accomplished in the past two
years as mayor.
1t is unfortunate, as is believed by &
large number of tax payers, that Mr.
Pau has been elected for third term
No one can point with pride to his adj
ministration for the past tao years, anC
if anything good is to come from the
next two, all will be glad. The FREE
Press has no spite work to wreak on
against the mayor-in fact, it will b'
more than glad to say anything gooC
which may be possible; but it will watcl
things closely.
Ma Jensen made a very creditaol'
race, and come nearer defeating Pfa'
than either of the candidates who op
posed HIM in the two years past. W.
think if the mayor decides to run agail
two years hence he will want some 9th
er Republican candidate. Mr.. Jensen
expresses himself as entirely satisfies
with the contest, and certainly hi
friends have no fault to find with tn
run made by their candidate.

Summer PaSturaRe.

| am prepared to receive 100 head OF
cattle or horses for pasturage on my
farm situated one mile south of Vernon
Center. The season will begin as early
as the growth of the grass will permit
and continue during its continuance in
the fall. The owner of the pasture as
sumes no responsibility for injury or
death of ANIMALS. Unruly animals or
bulls or stations will not be retained.
Salt will be furnished with the pasture.
The rates will be $3.50 for the season for
all animals one year old and $3.50 for
all greater ages. These are as low as
can be made for the season and the sea-
son price will be required whether the
animal remains the full time or not. The
pasturage consists of upland and mea-
dow and about 40 acres of timber, and
the Blue Earth river flowing through
one corner provides abundant excellent
water at the pleasure of the animal. j
feel confident there is not better pas
ture in the county. The grass is mostly
timothy and clover with native grass and
blue grass. w. l.. Tallman residing on
the farm will attend to your wants.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

An amendment to the road and bridge
laws is before the legislature providing
that threshers approaching teams
shall stop all motion forty rods before
passing. and remain still until the same
is passed forty rods beyond. The blow
ing of steam whistles on highways is for
hidden.
The road and bridge fund of the State
is derived from per cent. tax levied
upon all cash sales of government lands.
At the close of the session of 1887, the
members of the legislature bad intro
duced bills for roads and bridges amount
ing to $4,000. AS there was only $1,000
in the fund at that time, the house COM
mittee on roads and bridges had all of
the bills indefinitely postponed. In
consequence, since 1885 the State has
been unable to give aid in this direction.
This year the road and bridge fund
amounts to but $4,000, yet the house
committee on roads and bridges has be-
fore it bills to the amount of $751; 900. OF
the latter, Blue Earth wants s., 900 for
four bridges, two over the Blue Earth,
one over the Watonwan and one over
the Cobb.
The Minneapolis Star did not allow its
reporters to draw the $50 voted by the
generous solons to the newspaper men
In attendance at the legislative sessions.
The Star characterized the appropriation
as a steal, and several members of the
House took occasion to "roast" the pa
per yesterday.
Mr.. Keyes' new election bill, provId-
ing for the Australian system of voting,
has been made the special order for
Thursday.
The Scheffer meat inspection bill
passed the senate yesterday. The de-
bate upon the bill was very vigorous on
both sides, and the food of petitions
from the agriculturists appears to have
had its effect.
The bill to abolish capital punishment
has been lndefinit ely postponed. Ditto
Sevatson's usury bill. The house also
yesterday killed the bill extending the
terms of county officers.
The reapportionment bill passed muster
in the House Yesterday and now goes to
the Senate.
The mechanics lien bill has been care
fully considered by the judiciary COM
mittee of the House and is likely to
pass:
The senate finished tinkering up the
general appropriation bill and carried
It through its final passage. The amend
ments that have been agreed upon in
crease the total amount of appropria-
tions for State institutions from $500, 75C
to 1926, $50, and miscellaneous appropri-
tions, trifle-between 500 and $500
while the current expense list is not dis
turbed. The State institutions benefited
by the changes are the Fergus Falls in
sane hospital, the amount for which il
increased frsm $4,000 to S65, 900, and
the soldiers home, which gets $50, 0OC
instead OF $4,000, as originally recon-
mended. The increase in the soldiers
home appropriation was made on mo-
ton of Gen. Pope, chairman of the COM
mittee on soldiers home, it being the
opinion of the committee that all OF $50.
600 will be required for carrying out the
work planned for the next two years.

THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.

The GOvernoTs3ip Claimed by Both Par
iies-The Legislature Probably Demo
cratic.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 4.-The cleo
ton of governor is very close. This city
shows almost unprecedented Democratic
gains, every ward but one going Demo-
cratic, and Davis plurality piled up
enormously. His majority in this city
amounts to !, 1858. East Providence and
South Kingston are yet to be heard from.
The Democrats do not claim Davis cleo
ton, and close figuring shows that he
will lack about 600 of majority. At
torney General Slocum, DEM, is the only
man on the state ticket who is elected.
The Democrats have hopes of getting the
legislature, with the help of the towns
where new elections must be held.

THERE was one formality before the
adjournment of the Senate Tuesday
which attracted some attention. Mr..
ingalls, was again elected president pro
tempore, and took new oath of Office,
He will therefore be president pro tenn
pore during the long recess and at the
beginning of the next session. This
was IN accordance with time-honored
precedents. The question whether or
not the election of president pro tenn,
is necessary at each vacation of the
chair by the Vice President is still an
open one and the Senators believed that
it would be wiser and safer to follow
the old usage until the question shall be
settled by strong majority. 1t will be
remembered that although the Republi-
49, ~"''"''" A""iana-thet one election of
dent pro temn9re is sufficient for
ress, there were six Republican
Senators who held different opinion,
and among them some of the ablest law
yers in the body, and that these six re-
served their right to advocate their own
opinions in the Senate irrespective OF
the action of the caucus.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1889-04-05

THE legislative re-apportionment bill
was reached in the house calendar yes
terday, and after good deal of argu-
ment pro and con, it passed that body
by a vote of 65 to %. Mr.. Barr voted in
the affirmative, Messrs. Lassow and Da-
Wis, nay while Mr.. Perrin was either abb
sent or did not vote. The bill has to run
the Senate gauntlet yet. AS passed it re-
duces the representation of Blue Earth
county from one senator and four repre-
sentatives to one senator and three rep
resentatives. While recognizing the in
justice of the representation given GER
tain portions of the State in the existing
situation, we have considered that the
proper thing was to wait until the census
of next year furnished some recent and
reliable statistics regarding the present
population of the various districts. 1t
appears that large proportion of the
members of the house think re-appor-
tionment should be made at once. Mr..
Keyes, of WInona, county by the way
which is served the same as Blue Earth,
argued that the proposed law is uncon-
stitutional. He read the sections of the
constitution which provide for re-appor-
tionment, showing that that document
says that at tho next session after CEN
sus the legislature shall have power to
reapportIon. He also read extracts of
judicial decisions, the power of the legls-
lature over the constitution, and argued
az length upon the unconstitutionality of
the act. Mr.. Forbes took asimilar posi-
ton on this question, taking the ground
that because the senate had neglected
its duty two years ago, that was no rea-
why this legislature should exceed its
constitutional power in fixing the mat
ter. He read from an opinion of Cor
don E. Cole, rendered in 1863, on the
question as to whether the apportion-
ment could be changed. Mr.. Coles
opinion was to the effect that the consti-
tuition forbade any change until after
the census in 1865. Mr.. Forbes admit
ted that gross inequalities existed, but
denied the right of this legislature to
remedy them. The argument Of those
who believed in the constitutionality of
the measure was that the provision
Msssrs. Reyes and Forbes cited simply
limited the legislature to one re-appor-
tionment between enumerations.
