THE Twin cities, thanks to that broad
gusged, progressive and public spirited
gentleman, Thomas Lowry, are now
one and inseperable through the con-
meeting link of that wonderful power
known as electricity, and the denizens
of st. Paul and Minneapolis can hereaft-
eV reach any part of either city for the
small sum of ten cents. The street car
service was put in operation Tuesday,
and the system will soon be in perfect
operation. The time consumed IN max
ing the trip is now about so minutes,
but this schedule, it is expected, will be
reduced to 80 minutes as soon as the
new motors arrive. For people who
travel a great deal between the two
cities, the new mode of transit will be a
great saving, as the round trip on the
street car line will be a net saving of 80
cents over the charges now made via
the short line railway service. The cars
are run every ten minutes, and besides
being saving of money, the electric
lime will also be an economiser of much
zine.

A FEELING seems to prevail around
the Saltwater prison that Holden, who
is temporarily confined there. will not
be hanged. This sentiment, however, is
not very widely diffused throughout the
State, for if he is guilty as charged and
found, he is one of the most despicable
Williams unhung. and the sooner he pays
the penalty of his crime at the end of
rope, the more fearful will be the lesson
10 other wrong-doers. While it is per-
haps a God-given emotion of humani-
tartan virtue for the average American
TO forget and forgive the errors of his
fellow, there is an unwarranted sentl-
mentality permitted to course through
communities regarding murderers and
the more hardened class of criminals
which too often defeats the ends ofjus
Gice and makes veritable heroes out of
c0wsrdly assassins. A man who kills
mis- brother in cold blood is not too good
TO hang.

THE State Grange of Wisconsin, now
IN session at Madison, refuse to fuse
with the Farmers Alliance. In contra
diction to the Florida convention re-
gently adjourned, they do not desire to
crush out national banks, urge on the
sub-treasury, fasco and unsettle the
present stable fiscal policy of the Gov
~-uuoent. They DO believes However,
chat United States Senators should be
elected by popular vote, and in this they
are not at variance with larger element
of the Republican and Democratic par
ties. There is no good reason, apparent
or otherwise, why the people should not
have voice in the selection of their
Senators. AS it is now, mighty little at
tention is paid to the demands of the
masses in this particular. A few politi-
clans get together, decide upon whom
they want and then proceed to elect
him. Which is all wrong and contrary
TO the spirit of a Republican form OF
government.

HOWIT BENEFITS HEFARMERS

The Democrats raised a great howl
during the recent campaign, upon the
manner in which the new tariff injured
the farmers, and by their noise drown
ed out reason. The Republicans have
always taken care of the farmers, and
in this new tariff their interests are pro-
tected more than any other class of citi-
zens. The following, taken from the
Farm Journal, will abundantly prove
this, and will show that the most of the
instances where the tariff was raised
was on farm products:
We give below the duties levied on
the more important agricultural pro-
ducts by the new tariff with the old tar

Editor Free Press:
When, after the close of the war be-
tween the States Tor as we called it., the
war for the Union the problem of a
resumption of specie payments con-
fronted the country, Horace Greeley
solved it, in his sage manner, by saying:
''The way to resume is to resume" So
in the matter of writing letter for you
the way to do it is to write it. l like
to read my letters as they are nicely and
CORRECTLY printed 20 the FKEE fKEss.
.'Tis pleasant sure to see ones name in print;
A books book, although there's nothing int"
And the same is true Of newspapers.
The usual salutation of a reporter is:
"What do you know ?' The trouble
with me is, l don't know anything.
That is, [ haven't corner on any spec
cial information that is not open to every
one. However, slight change in my
working hours Will give me, during the
session of Congress, leisure during the
afternoon; and promise your readers
to visit the Capitol during the regular
sessions, and to see how the great men
who make our laws look and act. There
are other points of interest, a visit to
which will furnish themes for future
letters, of which I will try to furnish one
regularly each week. If, on account OF
this promise any reader renews his sub
scription to the FREE PRESS only 81 a

The unusual happened here last
night. Early risers this morning found
the ground covered with mantle OF
snow, several inches in depth. It looks
more like home than ANYTHING | have
yet seen here. Last winter there was
no snow worthy of the name. Yester-
day was one of the few cloudy days
when the air is not full of humidity-a
dry, cloudy day. The weather here,
one year with another, is very change
able-several kinds, often, in one day.
The present fall, however, has been q
remarkably fine one.
The shop windows present 9 beautiful
appearance, and everything indicates
the near approach of the dearest and
hottest of holidays-the birthday of HIM
whose coming was heralded with the
angelic message on earth; good.

party strifes and conflicting creeds, lei
us all yield to the gentle and generous
influences Of the season, and move on
to a higher, hol1er and happier national
life. He lives Ionges who lives best.

MANKATO ALL RIGHT.
The Public Building Bill Passes
the House Without a Dis
senting Voice.
The Bill Appropriates $4,000
Which will Probably be In
creased in Conference
to $4,000.

Congressman Lind Tuesday secured
the passage through the House of Re.
representatives. of the bill for the erection
of public building In this city. The
amount appropriated is $4,000, and the
bill went through without dissenting
voice. It called for $4,000, as intro
duced by Congressman Lind, but the
amount was cut down in the committee.
At the last session of Congress Senator
Washburn's bill appropriating $4,000
for the building was passed by the
Senate, and these two bills will probab-
ly go to a conference committee, where
Mr.. Lind hopes to have the amount
raised to $4,000.
Several other public building bills
were passed by the House Tuesday,
among others one for Fargo, 100000:
Sioux Falls, $l5O,OOO; Davenport, $780,.
900; Sioux City, $25O,OOO; Racine, $780,
600; Fort Dodge, $4,000, Sheboygan,
$50 900. Several of these cities are of
less size and far less importance than
Mankato, yet they secured greater APP
preparations. Sioux Falls has but a
couple of thousand more people than
this city, yet it secured $4,000, having
asked for $25O,OO0 1t would seem that
Mankato should have been more liber
ally treated. 1t would have been only
right to have secured the amount passed
by the Senate.
However, we are thankful for what
has been done, and the citizens of Man
kato will rejoice that there is every pro-
spect that the near future will witness
the erection of an elegant public build
ing in the city.

WHY NOT COME TO MANkAro?

We understand that there is nros-
pect of the removal of the countv fairs
from Garden City to some Other point
in the county. If removal is to take
place Mapleton is the locality that
should secure it, as we have better &C
commodations for man and beast than
any other town outside of Mankato.
We also have the enterprise and the en-
ergy to make it success and will do so
if they give us chaace. Bring on your
fair.-Mapleton Enterprise.
Mankato has more ADVANCES % offer
for the location of the county fair than
any other point in the county. Four
railroads lead to the city from every
part of the county, as well as good. we'll
travelled wagon roads. To reach any
other town in the county by rail three
fourths of the people must come through
Mankato. Besides superior location,
there Is the advantage of hotel accom-
modations. No village in the county
can entertain crowd oyer night. and
that fact restraints many from attending
the county fairs at present. Here are
the grounds, ample sheds, splendid race
track, ETC., with all the appurtenances
that apply to first class fair grounds.
Another argument why the fairs should
be removed to Mankato is that when
farmers 60 to fair they want to do
some trading, and it is beyond ques-
ton that they can get more for their
products and buy goods cheaper in this
city than elsewhere. If further argu-
ment were needed, that of receipts of
the association applies. By having the
fair at this city large proportion of our
people will attend, whereas few or
none do now, which will permit the
association to give larger premiums.
The fairs given in this city in the past,
with very little support from the farm
ers, have been 80 successful that good
premiums were paid, and over $500 in
purses for horse-racing. The farmers
should be able to do much better than
this. BY all means come to Mankato
and thereby consult your own interests,
gentlemen of the association.

outdoor exercise. When they shook
hands and said goodbye, at the end of

liver troubles and troublesome coughs.
Wilkins had plenty of money, and de-
cided to travel for his health. Watkins

TIE FREE PRESS is gratifed to note tn

The FREE PRESS is gratifed to note the
act that several of our State exchanges
are taking up and discussing the pro-
priety OF the coming legislature formu-
ating some sort of bill that will regu-
eata existing unequal express rates, and
also preach the Pullman Company, whose
palace cars now traverse our State from
border to border without paying one
cent into the exchequer of the COM
Enonwealth, and whose charges are ex.
Orbitant and unequal in many instances.
The FREE Press, few days since, had
an article covering these points, and
several letters from legislative members
have since been received compliment
ing us for the stand taken. If the prop
or presentation of the question is made
bv the papers of the State, and the at
tention of members called to existing
abuses and inequalities from time to
time, there is no reason why our law
makers will not give the necessary re-
lief. That is what they were elected
for, and it is the duty of the country
press to join in the demand and aid in
securing the rights of the people.
Brethren of the press, let US JOIN hands
Il this matter, put the question plainly,
earnestly and persistently. There is a
