Barring Brothers, of London, the
richest firm in the world, have tided
over their difficulties through the
prompt assistance of the Rothschilds,
the bank of England ard other banks.
Their embarrassment was due to the
action of the Russian government,
which alarmed by the financial troub
les of the Argentine Republic where
the Earrings had large interests, with
drew from them about seleven million
dollars.

AN Injunction suit was fled last
week to restraiaI. the Taz Collector
from collecting the levee tax, levied
under act 70 Of 1890. The suit was
instituted by tax payers who contend
that their property is not subject to
levee tax, aud who enjoins the collee-

that the law did not contemplate that
the tax should be levied and collected
this year. This is an important suit

truthful thing This has been our
experience all summer in running
our mill. Our pay rolls, including
the hauling and yard work, for last
month footed up SO, 700, and for
the season it, cannot fall short Of
$50 900. Good common laborers
are scarce at - per day. There
hasn't been such a season for labor
ers at good wages for. several years
in our experience The testimony
of such a practical self-made man
as Mr.. Elliott, should count for
more than bushels of idle assertions
by political demagogues who are
paid for distorting and misrepre-
senting facts.

GOLD FOSSIL writing from
Clarissa, Todd county, has a good
word to say for Hon. j. G. Flynn.
Mr.. Flynn is one Of the best par
iamentarians in the State, and he
is man of far more ability than
some of his critics are willing to
admit that he possesses. He is the
father of the one mill school tax
law, a law that is advantageous to
the sparsely settled frontier coun-
ties; law that is detested by the
big cities. He voted against the
bill that was concocted
in the interest Of grasping monop-
olists, House File 157. The Todd
County Argus says, that Ubiquitous
measure cost Todd county $40, 900
in taxes. Mr.. Flynn received his
nomination fairly. He is entitled
to and should receive the support
Of every Republican in the district.

EDUCATIONAL.

AS the editor has kindly offered us a
place in his paper we will from time to
time make note Of those things which
we think will be of interest to the pat
rons OF the school. Our object is. three
fold: First, we believe school and
school work should occupy a higher
place in the mind of parents than it
seems to hold in Princeton-we form
our opinion from the lax, irregular at
tendance in all grades; second, we
hope to incite pupils to greater effort;
third, we wish people outside of
Princeton to know that we have a
school here and are trying to make
some progress.
Results Of last examination in. the
high school We're not as good in indi-
vidual cases as We could wish, but on
the whole, fair.
Glass in elementary algebra consist
ing of five members have mastered 100
pages of Robinson's algebra. We have
a class of two studying Higher algebra
that is doing nicely.
First rhetoricals Of the term were
held Friday afternoon in all the lower
departments. The first of the high
school occur next Friday afternoon.
Our flag lately provided by the gen
erous school board floats proudly on the
breeze during school hours in pleasant
weather, from $50 to 4 O'Clock. Thus
it serves as teacher Of patriotism and
an aid to prompt attendance.
The boys are putting up some rings

The FlourMill Project.

Now, when everybody is engaged in
talking politics, a matter of the most
vital Importance to Princeton and the
surrounding country is being lost sight
olive refer to the flour mill project.
The UNION proposes to keep this -four
mill matter before the citizens of
Princeton. Now, not a year, or: a month
hence is the time to act A practical
miller with plenty of means and the
best OF recommendations, has made a
proposition to erect a first-class mill
here which should be accepted. Mr.
Bakers proposition is, to build a mod
ern flour mill, one that will manufact-
ure an A No. | article, and have the
same in running order early in the
spring in fact he desires to commence
work on the building right away pro
vided he is guaranteed bonus of S2,-
600. He does not ask for one cent of
bonus until the mill is completed and
he has invested eighteen or twenty
Thousand dollars. That proposition
should be accepted without days I'M
necessary delay. It is not fair that
one, two or a half dozen men should be
called upon to provide the bonus. The
village council should get together, and
If necessary, call a special election and
vote $4,000 internal improvement bonds,
running, say five years. Of this sum,
81, 900 could be proftably expended on
the village streets, and the other
$4,000 could be devoted to the flour mill
project. There would be no necessity
of levying a direct village tax. A por-
ton of the revenue from liquor license
could be set apart each year for the
payment OF the bonds. Now, if any one
knows OF any better or fairer way OF
raising the bonus, the columns of the
UNION are open to him. But the flour
mill Princeton must and shall have.
Mr.. Bakers proposition will not re-
main open long. Even now he is ne
gotiating with a Wisconsin town.
Action should be taken at once. All
that Mr. Baker wants is reasonable as
surance that the village will perform
its portion of the contract.

w. H. HoULToN is making a
gallant fight in the Sherburne and
Wright district for senator, and
from present indications he will be
victorious. A. Y. Eaton, the can
didate opposed to Mr.. Houlton, is
a renegade Republican, a man who
has few traits of character that
would endear him to any one. He
is a milk-and-water good-lord and
good-devil sort Of a fellow. In
short, he is anything for office.
Mr.. Houlton is a man of differ
ent stamp. Eaton poses as a Re
publican, a Democrat, a Prohibi-
ZIONIST and an Alliance mamie is
anything and everything as occa-
sion requires.

NoRTHFIELD Neaos. There is no
reason why an intelligent farmer
needs to be deceived in regard to
the tariff bill. If the bill, recently
made a law, is working such seri-
Gus injustices as the Democratic
politicians would have the unin
formed believe, there would be
just cause for rebellion on the part
OF the farmers; but the facts in re-
gard to this matter are entirely
different and if the farmer will pro-
vide himself with a copy Of the bill
and ascertain the truth, he will be
surprised at the great amount Of
monumental lying which has been
INDUCED in about the tariff. We
do not ask the reader to take our
statement in this matter; get the
text Of the bill and read it YOU will
then see what the truth is. We
venture to say that scarcely one
man in twenty that is going about
the country bowling about the in
justices of the tariff bill has ever
read the bill or has any reliable in
formation in regard to it. Ignor
ance is the stock in trade of some
political parties.

involve the construction of some of the
