THE republican state tommittee will
meet on Monday next to take prelimin-
airy steps toward opening the campaign
for 1892. 1t will make no mistake, in
inaugurating a vigorous policy. The
fact of the national convention being
held in Minneapolis in June will afford
ample inspiration for thorough prelimiti-
airy work. and it is none to early to or.
ganize. Minnesota is in no sense a
doubtful state, but the party should
take pride in showing its appreciation of

The people of the town of Richmon

The people of the town of Richmond,
this county, are at loss to account for
the whereabouts of James Heavy, who
was formerly cashier of the Bank of
Paynesyille, but recently has commenced
banking bushes in the former place,
where he has now been located about
two months. 1t could not be definitely
ascertained just when Heavy left Rich
mond, in fact nobody appears to know
when he was last seen there. The alb
sence of the banker first attra cited atten-
tention yesterday. Inquiries were insti-
tuted but nothing could be learned. The
depositors in the bank are not thought
to be many, but they grew anxious just
the same. Gr. II. Schmidt came to St.
Cloud Friday afternoon, and bad at
tachment papers executed for $165,
being the amount of his deposit with
Heavy. The papers were PLACED in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff H. S. Doty. The
latter just had time to catch the Wilmar
passenger train, but upon arriving at
Richmond all he could find of the bank
was an old secondhand safe, tumbled
down banking counter, a small heating
stove, and two rickety chairs. These
the deputy topnd i'll the hands of the
constable, who had already levied upon
them justice court attachment tor ss5.
This attaehmept was made by M. A.
Bussen, the owner Of the building in
which the bank was located. The num-
Der of the depositors in the bank is not
known, nor has anybody any idea as to
tine amount that has been received by
Heavy since he has been at Richmond.
AS stated above, Heavy was formerly
cashier of the bank of Paynesville, and
it is understood here, that his business
in that place was not financially suc-
cessful.-St. Cloud Times. .

SOME of our good neighbors OF St..
Cloud are much exercised because western
Stearns, or Franklin county as they are
pleased to term it, is emphatically op-
posed to a new court house at this time.
1t is firmly grounded in the belief that
the present court house is sufficient, and
will BE for long time to come. That st.
Cloud swould like the present court house
for city hall, providing it could be Sc
secured at nominal price is quite nat
ural, but the county is hardly prepared
to incur debt for fifty or a hundred
thousand dollars-not just yet. Texas
are burdensome enough now. With
levy of $45, 900 a year for current ex-
penses, the powers that be find them
selves confronted with a deficiency which
they are either afraid or ashamed OF
meeting and providing for in the usual
manner by including it in the public levy,
but find it necessary to get special
law enacted permitting the county audi

thority of any one else, to add special
tax of one mill for the county revenue
fund. Why this very unusual and dark
lantern method OF raising an astonish-
ingiy large sum of money for county ex-
penses-something over $4,000 in addi-
ton to the outrageously large sum OF
$4,000 included in the regular levy
does not appear upon the face of it. 1t
costs more per capita to operate Stearns
county than any other county in central
Minnesota, and that too in face OF the
fact that it does not expend dollar tor
interest or for maintenance of the poor.
Isn't it about time to call halt? Yes,
Franklin county does protest, protest
emphatically against any such luxury as
a new court house at this time.

Don't faint. Otter Tail county Will

down a delegation to work for the good

other wise acts the nomination of H. w.

If there is any man in the state who
stands we'll with and deserves well OF
the people, it is he. For FIVE years he has
filled the office of assistant attorney
general to the great satisfaction of all
who have had business to do with the
office and it is an eminently proper thing
to promote him to the attorney general

THE fact that Mr.. Childs is an Otter

any less CONSPICUOUS, for he is in every

advanced from the deputyship to be

general. By all means, let Mr.. childs be
nominated, but Otter Tail county should
not plead disinterestedness in adyocat-

ST. PAUL TOO.

Encouraged and stimulated by the
success of Minneapolis in securing the
Republican National convention, St.
Paul is actively and energetically in
competition for the Democratic conven-
ton. and certainly with as fair pros
p.cts OF success as hcl sister city had, a
month ago. The two cities fought val
iantly as a unit for the Republican con-
vention and Minneapolis tenders her best
endeavors, and that too, irrespective OF
party. There is very little sentiment on
the part of either city-it is business
proposition. 1t will cost so much
money and the full equivalent is ex-
pected in return, not in immediate cash
dividend, but in glory-and alfthe use
these cities have for glory is for future
coinage into legal tender. But there is
nothing selfish in their selfshness-that
is no personal sel6shness. tbs the city
as whole that is to be beneftted-in-
creased in population and wealth.
These cities are without parallel in
enterprise and public spirit. They ex-
pend more time, pains and labor-which
represents hard money-in attracting
and engaging attention and admiration.
Carnivals, pageants, pyrotechnics, each
city striving to Guido the other for the
benefit of both, are of frequent occur
renee and always successful and brilliant.

Something About Winds.

To the American, with his practical
views, and iconoclastic materialism, wind
is simply an agitation of the atmosphere.
Before the advent of steam, he ground
the meal for his daily bread with the aid
of wind; he avails himself of it yet to
watt his trading vessels across the seas.
IT it is gentle. he calls it breeze; if it
comes with a sudden rush, roar, and
whirl, depositing his house on the next
quarter section, his cattle in the next
township, and makes him hunt the eel
lar in hurry, he names it cyclone
and proceeds to get himself together
again. The ancients, however, with
their tendency to ''see sermons in stones
and books in running BROOKS" person
