THE HOLBROOK CORNER.
A Telegram from Washington
Says that this Property has
Been Selected
For MankatO's Public Building-The
Site is Fine One.

The agony is over and our people
can now settle down in the enjoyment
of their usual Quietude and pursue
the even tenor of their ways. The
Holbrook property, corner of Second
and Jackson streets has been officially
selected by Secretary Foster as the
site for Mankato's public building. A
telegram was received about noon to-
day by Mrs. J. T. Williams, signed by
Hon. j. X. Moore, appointment clerk
in the Treasury department, announc-
ing this fact, and it may be accepted
as entirely authentic.
The strife over tie location has
been spirited one, but thanks to the
good sense of our people it has been
conducted with little feeling of acri-
mony. While opposition would be
felt to any site which the commission
might have recommended or which
the Secretary may have accepted, the
choice which has been made will give
very general satisfaction, and it can
be truthfully said to be the hand
soonest grounds of any proposed.
The action of the department will
be heartily endorsed and readily &C
cepted. Much credit is due the ddvo-
Gates of the various locations for the
gentlemanly manner in which they
have conducted matters, and particu-
larly is this true of those who put
forth efforts for the corner that has
finally been selected.
This has been busy day with the
Opposition" All the kilograms from
Washington have plainly inferred
that the Holbrook corner would be Sc
lected, and they were evidently sent
out for the purpose of preparing the
public mind to receive the official an
nouncement. When it was noted in
the st. Paul papers at noon that the
Secretary would decide the location
question of the Mankato building to-
day, petitions were Immediately set
in circulation for the purpose of Sc
curing signatures against the Hol-
brook property, and in favor of the
Hall corner. The announcement
an hour later that Secretary Foster
had settled the question caused dis
may to those most active, but they
will acquiesce goodnaturedly and fee
well pleased after the first shock
wears off.
Secretary Foster is to be congratu-
lated on the choice of grounds and
also on his prompt action.

MINNESOTA is likely to loom up very
creditably at the Worlds Fair in 1898
Notwithstanding the niggardly appro-
priation Of last years legislature. Mr..
eX-Speaker Furlong, who has just
come back from Chicago, says the
state deserves to be represented at
least to the extent of S150,000. 1t
does an Alliance political leader a
heap of good, sometimes, to get out
into the broad world and see what is
going on therein Winond Republican.
To the credit of Mr.. Furlong be it
said, he is broad gagued gentleman,
and fully appreciates the. advantage
to enure to Minnesota through cred
liable showing at the Worlds Fair.
While he supported the bill calling
for hundred thousand dollar appro-
priation at the time it came before
the legislature, like many other
members he had not given the fair
question sufficient thought TO awaken
him to the true situation, or his
voice would have been heard in strong
and earnest advocacy of double the
appropriation which we have. Mr..
Furlong appreciates the fact that the
agricultural interest of Minnesota
can be made to reap great benefit
from the Fair if the exhibit is not
handicapped by lack Of funds. The
Republican, is correct when it says that
lit does an Alliance political leader
a heap Of good, sometimes, to get out
into the broad world and see what is
going on therein" and the same is
true of political leaders of other par.
ties. There was great lack Of in
formation on the part Of the mem.
bers of the last legislature, regarding
this NATTER or the state would not
now be called upon to devise ways
and means to get money enough to
carry on the work

WRONG IDEA.

i
mission are going right ahead as if
they owned the state. The legisla-
ture voted only $4,000 which most
tax payers think enough, but 36 mem
berS of the committee met in Chica-
60 last week to select grounds for the
state building, and said that they
would go right ahead for an exhibition
costing S150,000, claiming that amount
would be forthcoming. OF course
they will create deficiency of $780,
600, intending the next legislature to
make it good. Such work is
shameful and those commissioners
should be sat down upon.-Waseca
Radical.
Bro. Graham is altogether wrong
in his conclusions as to the intentions
of the Minnesota Board of World S
Fair Commissioners, and he does
them an injustice in charging that
they twill go right ahead for an exhi-
bition costing $3.50, 1000, claiming that
amount would be forthcoming. The
Board will do nothing of the kind.
Six land not 36) of the Eight Commits
sioners of the State visited Chicago,
recently, and became thoroughly con-
WINGED, after careful and thought
full survey of the situation, that Min
nesota could not make creditable
exhibition with the amount of money
appropriated by the legislature. A
building in which to exhibit the pro-
ducts of the States resources is indis-
pensible. At reasonable estimate
a structure commensurate with the
needs of the State, will cost $4,000,
The, law.under which the Commission
was created and the appropriation
made makes it illegal to use any por-
tion of the $4,000 for this purpose.
1t is the opinion, not only of the
Board, but of great number of the
best informed men in Minnesota, that
if our State is to receive that promi-
nence at the Worlds Exposition which
it deserves and which it is richly en-
titled to receive, an additional $780,
900 will be required.
But the Board will not pledge the
credit of the State for this or any 9TH
er sum. 1t could not do SO under the
law which controls it's actions, and it
would not do so in any event, and new
er said that it would. In few days
an address will be issued to the peo-
pie of the State which will embody
some matters of information as to
the needs for more money, and no act
of omission or commission will be
committed by the Board of Worlds
Fair Managers of Minnesota which
can possibly bring upon the heads of
its members adverse criticism.
The Board hopes and believes that
some equitable and acceptable plan
will be devised for increasing the
amount of money now at it's disposal
with which to carry forward the great
work. Wait, Bro. Graham, until the
Commissioners commit some overt
act before denouncing them and ad-
vocating that they be ''sat down up
on" They have only the same inter
est in Minnesota that you and every
other loyal citizen entertain, and in
the fulfillment of the duties assigned
them by virtue of their position
will strive to do everything possible
to secure prominence for our State at
the forthcoming Worlds Fair, asking
the cordial and united support of all
good citizens in the undertaking.
