PIPESTONE WILL RESPOND.

One by one the counties Of Mime.
sofa are falling into line, and unless
all signs fail the call of the Minnesota
Commissioners for an increase of $780,
600 to the Worlds Fair fund will be
promptly met. As sample of many
letters which are being daily received,
we are permitted to make an extract
from one written by Mr.. E. Bloom, OF
Woodstock, to Rev. f. NJ. Rule of
Mankato. He says:
''You can assure Mr.. Hunt that
will do all in my power to aid him in
advancing the interests of Minnesota
at the Columbian Exposition, and
that Pipestone county will come to
the front with it's quota toward the
S1O0,O subscription fund"
A few enterprising gentlemen like
Mr.. Bloom in each county would soon
settle this question to the credit of
the state. A very prominent citizen
of Worthington, in writing anent
Noble county's quota says: "We are
not in the habit of taking back seat
in Noble county, although somewhat
on the frontier, and | think am safe
in saying that your commission can
rely upon a thorough effort being made
to raise the money on the part of our
citizens, and l think with success"

IT'S FUSION THEY WANT.

Last year the Democrats expected
to carry Minnesota through the help
of the Alliance porty. That is. chat
party hoped the Alliance would draw
enough farmers from the Republi-
cans so that they (the Democrats)
would have majority. But this hope
was never realized. AS they look for
ward to 1892, they see nothing in sight
for them unless they can secure votes
in addition to their regular party
strength. There is only one way this
can be done,-that is to get the Alli-
ance to fuse with them, and with this
object in view we hear their soft COO
ing tones floating upon the breezes
over the prairies as they attempt to
WOO the Alliance hosts and carroll
them in their camping grounds.
But they are very sly about it. The
Democrats hadn't thought of fusion,
until it Matched in the mind of the
Alliance. Oh, no! Perish the thought.
Virtuous Democracy had not given
the matter a thought until the ALI,
ance leaders had looked the field all
over and concluded they must have
help, and help only could be secured
through the Democratic party. Then
it dawned upon the brains of our
Democratic friends that fusion would
be good thing, hence the column ar
ticle upon that matter in the Sunday
Globe.
The Globe suddenly finds that all
the issues taken up and advocated by
the Alliance are distasteful to the
leaders, and carry no elements of
strength among the people; that the
only question exciting any interest at
all in that party, is tariff REFORM" a
question not heretofore advocated by
the Alliance people. The Globe then
arranges how the sofficial plums may
be divided, and as matter Of'course
takes the lions share.
If the Alliance people are merely in
the field for spoils, then undoubtedly
fusion would be the best thing fol
them. But if they are in the
field for the advocacy Of principle
then we fail to see how they can con
sistently fuse, unless by fusion they
are going to secure that for which
they organized to fight for. The Dem
ocratlc party stands no different to-
day upon the questions before the
country than it did when the Alliance
movement was inaugurated, therefore
if that movement was founded upon
a principle, that principle is forsaker
the moment fusion begins. Fusion
will not gain them new recruits fol
their cause, and from the Democratic
point of view it gives then
no encouragement for any re-
form they have heretofore de.
manded. In simply means 9
little more help for Democratic free
trade, and spoils for Alliance leaders
How this will strike the rank and file
of the new party we can not say. But
it would be natural to suppose
that those who went into the
party believing in the principles
which the Globe says will be dropped
in event of fusion, would not look up
on the matter kindly, but feel that
they had been betrayed. 1t is notice
able that the anxiety for fusion rests
almost entirely with the Democrats

TT MEANS WORK.

We notice that a number of towns
in the state are taking steps to induce
manufacturing institutions to locate
within their borders. Now, while we
have nothing to say against any other
point in the state, but wish other
towns all the prosperity possible, yet
we believe Mankato to be unequalled
as a point for the location Of indus
tries of any kind. But if manufacture
ing establishments are worth having,
they are worth working for. Unless
we keep active, localities not as well
situated are likely to secure industries
that might otherwise come here.
With our great natural resources, our
excellent shipping facilities, and
standing as we do at the very thresh-
old of this western empire, we ought
to have no difficulty in inducing those
wishing to remove from the east to
some point in the west, to locate in
our city. And if we keep our adyant-
ages always before the world, and a
watchful eye upon those desiring new
locations we will have none, but it
means unceasing labor and splendid
organization. Let us all put our
shoulder to the wheel and get a car
riage factory, furniture factory, and
other lines of induties too numerous
to mention.

Another old soldier made happy.
Mons Johnson of Lincoln has been al
lowed a pension of So per month, dat

H. G. Howard has bought his old re-
sidence, what is known as the Seward
place on Lincoln St. The price paid
was 81 400. Mr.. III. will occupy the
premises on his return from the south
next spring.
The wind mill that operates Mars
ton s. Larson's grain elevator lost its

The bolts that held them in place
worked loose and the wheels came
tumbling down.
Messrs. T. Barnes and E. W. Wash

Center on their bicycles last Friday
They made the trip all right but after
arriving there a. son of Mr.. Barnes
mounted the iron horse and after
crossing the railroad track, took 9

was bent and in trying to straighter
it, broken off Mr. Barnes came back
on the train and Mr.. Washburr

ROGER Q. MILLS wants to be Speak
err of the next House. Mr. Mills has
been a free and unlimited coinage
man, but few months ago he COM
menced to hedge upon that question,
and this has caused some of the south
ern and southwestern members to
abuse him somewhat. These attacks,
it is said, has brought to his support
numerous eastern congressman who
are opposed to free silver, and may
give him the inside track. 1t is re-
ported from Washington that Mr..
Mills will, if elected speaker, appoint
a committee that will put Quietus
to the free coinage question. But in
this Mr.. Mills may find himself with
white elephant upon his hands
There is undoubtedly a free coinage
majority in the next house, and il
seems TO be quite certain that tha
majority intends TO enact some free
coinage legislation. and the free trade
statesman from Texas may find i
harder work to shut them off than ht
magines.

IF the Democrats think they are
going to work up public sympathy by
keeping in circulation the story that
the Republicans of Ohio intend to get
Col. Brice's seat in the q. S. senate
declared vacant, so as to give Foraker
a place, and thereby prevent party
trouble in that state, they are greatly
mistaken. Mr.. Brice is duly elected
senator from Ohio and it is not at all
probable that the Republican leaders
Of that state will take hold of such a
boomerang as it would certainly
prove to be, should they attempt to
deprive him of it. Neither is it prob
able the q. S. senate would declare
his seat vacant even though it were
asked, as bearing the proper creden'
tials as senator from Ohio, that au-
gust body would naturally suppose
him to be legal resident Of that
state.

WRITING several weeks previous to
the recent election, in a magazine
article, Henry Watterson said: Gun
less the coming elections procure the
Democrats something decisive in Ohio
Pennsylvania or Iowa, the party will
have to meet and dispose of the war
between Cleveland and Hill, with a
very scant margin of choice to go on
when both are laid aside as unavail-
able; a contingency which, under the
circumstances, seems not unlikely"
The elections have passed, and the
Democrats did not procure anything
decisive in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
and only On LEGAL issues did they pro-
cure anything in Iowa. Is Gov. Boies
the Every scant margin of choice
that Mr.. Waterson wishes to go on,
if Cleveland and Hill are "both laid
aside as unavailable?"

itoba railroads are suffering from a
grain blockade. The storage capacity
of the province is about 100000
bushels, which is fully taken, while
the wheat movement has only fairly
started. Cars are hard to get and
many buyers are shutting down until
the Epressure is relieved. The rail-
roads are doing all in their power to
keep things clear, but it is said that

REFERRING to the statement of the
american Economist that this country
is paying foreigners $3.50, 100000 for
carrying our ocean freight and mails,
the greater share of which could be
kept in this country if proper encour-
agement was given to shipping inter-
eSts, the Chicago Herald remarks that
half that sum is not paid for such
work, and that it is not paid as ma
tion but as individuals. The Herald
is quibbling over small matters. The
individuals collectively make up the
country, and the Economist was virtu-
ally correct. The Herald also says
that if the representative at Wash
ington are not simpletons they will
withdraw what inducements have al
ready been given to the building up
Of American shipping. Evidently the
Herald does not want to have Eng
lands interests impaired.
