IF THEY WOULD ONLY THINK.

F31luro IN Life and Business Avoided
Through Careful Meditation.
John Durham, the wholesale grocer,
was indulging in "Reminiscences day or
two ago, and he made some interesting
comments on the methods of credit in
vogue at the present time. Mr.. Durham
has been merchant in Minneapolis for
thirty three years, thirteen of which
were spent in ST. Anthony as retailer.
He deplored the want Of system among
merchants in extending credit, and said
too many merchants failed to keep post
ed about the conditions around them, or
the markets short, they didn't think
or read. And then he repeated a story
told him, by J. B. Bassett, the veteran
lumberman, in illustration of the point.
p" People don't think, and that's why
so many are poor said Mr.. Bassett.
DO you know it takes brains to pile
lumber or shovel dirt? There's a right
way to do it,
"And then he told this story: He Wis
tied his lumber yard a year or two ago
and found two men piling boards. A
load had been dumped in the alley, and
this was to be put in pile. 1t was the
manner in which the work was being
done that attracted Mr.. Bassett's atten-
ton. He observed that one Of the men
picked up a board, carried it to the pile
and dropped it on the ground. Then the
other man picked it up and placed it on
the pile. Mr.. Bassett called the two
men to him, and they sat down on the
pile.
"tDid you ever think, you two men?
he asked.
''The men were little puzzled at the
query. Don't you men ever think of
improving your lot in life? Don't you
ever think about itT he asked.
''The men weren't positive that they
ever did think, and Mr.. Bassett said:
"'Well, thought so when saw you
piling those boards It takes two of you
to do one mans work; did you know
that? Now. instead of dropping that
board on the ground and picking it up
again, can't you drop the board right on
the pile where it belongs? Both of you
can carry them from the pile, and the job
will be done in about half the time.'
"Ihat little talk OF Mr.. BaSsett's set
the men to thinking, and he told me not
long ago, as the incident was recalled,
that they are now two of the best calcu-
lators in his employ.
ut is so with merchants, city or coun-
try. They sell goods without thinking.
Is the customer responsible? Will there
be any crop? How much had the man
ought to have? These. questions are
never thought of, and before long fail
ure follows. I kept a retail grocery
store in St. Anthony for thirteen years
and never lost but $3.50 by bad credit,
and one year sold $35, 900 worth of
goods. That shows what can be DONE
I estimate that is per cent. of the gro
ceries bought, wholesale and retail, are
never paid for" minneapolis Journal

JUDGE CHAs. d. KERR's friends
rejoice to know that in the recent
election he polled more votes than
any candidate on any ticket in
Ramsey county. He ran one
thousand votes ahead of his judic-
ial colleagues, Judges Eagan and
Otis. Judge Kerr is one Of the
most popular public men in St.
Paul, and deservedly so.

Judge Searle also delivered an elab-
crate oral opinion, and Judge Baxter
remarked: II fully concur in all that
Judge Searle has said. I am satisfied
that the matter is settled by the SUI
preme court decision in the Second Min
nesota, that decision was rendered by a
Democratic court, and I consider it
therefore good law.''

For the sole purpose of depriving r.
G. Dunn of his rights, the case has been
appealed to the supreme court: That
court will affirm the decision of the
lower court. Can county auditor defy
and disregard the law? If Auditor FL
lenbecker's action in this matter is es-
tablished as a precedent we would like
to know it. When the supreme court
passes upon the question, Autocrat FL
lenbecker will be afforded an oppor-
tunity to justify his conduct, and no
packed Morrison county jury will AUDI
cate the matter either. Hon. GEORGE
Geissel and Leon Houde, Esq, are big
toads in the dirty puddle of Morrison
county politics but nowhere else.

Dunn and his attorneys have claimed
all along that he was legally entitled to
a certificate of election. Two honest
and impartial judges have so decided.
Which opinion will the lawmakers of
Minnesota respect-that of a partisan
county auditor, or that of two disinter-
ested judges? Which opinion ought to
carry weight?

1t is possible that the Republican
party is following up a line of action
that will still tend to defeat it in the
coming election. The passage of the
subsidy bill and the Mckinley bill will
be something more than the western
States are willing to stand. The sub
sidy scheme will benefit only those peo-
pie immediately on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, the interior of the coun-
try receiving nothing for the money
they are paying out.

CUMBERLAND, Md. April 22.-Vice-
President King, of the Baltimore e.
Ohio Railroad Company, to-day SUBJ
mitted to this city proposition to
make this the termini of the second
and third and Pittsburg divisions of
the road, and to concentrate the ma
chinery employees now engaged in
repairing it's locomotives in Martins
burg, Keyser, Piedmont and Con-
nellsville, affecting change of 1000
men. The railroad company also
proposes to erect extensive shops
and tracks in the eastern section of
the city, making this city and Balti-
more the two largest repair shops on
the road.
In consideration of this the com
pany asks the city to loan them
$l50,00O, which is to be repaid by
the company at the rate of $4,000
per annum without interest, the first
payment to be made two years after

of round houses, machine shops, &c !,
and will secure the city the repay
ment of the amount by first lien on
the property and their improvements.
The contract is to remain in force
until the entire sum of money is re-
paid to Cumberland, and in case the
company should remove its shops
prior to the repayment Of the loan,
or should change the termini of it's
three divisions as above set forth,
then and in that case the company in
addition to the repayment of the
principal of the loan shall also repay
to Cumberland the amount of inter-
est it shall have paid or be liable to
pay thereon as the same may become
due.
In case the company should for
any reason cease to operate its ma
chine shops for a period of six con-
secutive months then the company
shall repay to Cumberland all the
interest that it may have paid on its
bonds. or for which it may be liable
upon its bonds during such period
of discontinuance of the shops. The
necessary legislation to enable Cum
berland to borrow $3.50, 900 on bonds
and to enter into a contract with the
B. q o. Company was provided by
the last legislature.
