Mr.. Clarkson and other eminent practical
politicians of the Republican faith recognize
the wisdom and the utility of the Democratic
idea of campaign of education, and they are
adopting it as their own. The attempt to or
ganize into compact body all the Republican
clubs of the country, if carried out energeti-
eally and thoroughly, can hardly fail to
strengthen the party and prove of immense
benefit in solidifying the rank and file, who
take little interest in politics except during
the actual progress of the campaign This un-
dertaking proves the wisdom of the Demo
etatic leaders who have been pleading and
working for a similar thorough organization
OF Democratic clubs throughout the country.
Some steps have been taken in this direction
within the Democratic lines, but it is to be
feared the plans of operation are not suffi-
GENTLY comprehensive to bear much fruit. No
doubt the Democrats have not at their com
mand the great revenues which the Republicans
derive from the great magnates who have bene-
fted by the tariff and other class legis-
lation Of the Republicans. Still, on the very
face of it the scheme of club organization
proposed by Representative Kerr, of Penn
sylvania, and other gentlemen promised SO
much good, and could have been carried into
effect at so small an outlay, that it should
have been adopted by the Democratic Congress
sional Committee as part of the regular bust
ness of that committee. True, some, little
was done TO encourage the movement by the
committee, but it was not enough There is
national organization of Democratic clubs,
which is no doubt fairly complete, but it is to
be feared its effectiveness will not prove
great if kept to itself. 1t should be closely
affiliated with the National Executive Commit
tee and the Congressional Committee, to each
ofwhich it could be made valuable auxiliary.
The plan which Mr., Kerr proposed contem-
plated the establishment Of permanent head

quarters for the national organization of clubs
in Washington. At these headquarters a small
force of clerks could have been employed, and
through them general supervision over the
organization in all parts of the country main
tained. Information could thus have been
collected and distributed, Democratic news
and documents supplied regularly every week
to the smaller Democratic newspapers, and
generally all the organizations and voters of
the party brought into closer relations aud
educated in Democratic spirit and doctrine.
Such plan If we'll carried out must have
proved of immense benefit to the party, and It
is to be hoped it will yet be adopted. No
iealousies between leaders or committees
should be allowed to stand in its way.

Very Heavy Immigration.

While in New York Assistant Secretary
Nettleton conferred with the local immigra-
ton officials and inspected the buildings in
course of erection at the new immigration
station on Ellis Island The Assistant Secre-
tary said that the officials at the Barge Office
displayed excellent judgment and great en-
the great difficulties under which they labor.
About forty thousand more Immigrants
have arrived at the port of New York so far
this year, he said, than had arrived there up
to the corresponding period of 1890.

Cure Of Deafness
And Discharge From the Ear.
FROM MIR. T.. e. ROESSLE.
Proprietor of the Arlington.
"THE ARLINGTON,n

"THE ARLINGTON"
Washington, d. c., March 6, 1890.
MY DEAR DoCToR LIGHTHILL:
1t gives me great pleasure to state that you
effected a remarkable cure of deafness and
discharge from the ears in the case of my
cousin, Marcus G. Roessle, and that the case
has proved as permanent as 1t was radical.
1 feel sure that without your skillful aid my
cousin would have been deaf man all his life.
Knowing of other cases in which you have
been equally successful, cheerfully give you
leave to refer to me at any time, and hope
that your practice in Washington will prove
distinguished success. Yours truly,
Il. E. ROESSLE.

ter to Japan after the Chinese have respect
fully declined to receive him seems open to
question. There is a certain amount of ieal-
ousy between China and Japan, and maybe
the latter power would feel somewhat en-
barrassed ii called on to accept as Minister
from the United States man whom the
Chinese turned down. AS we are on the
friendliest possible terms with Japan, this
point ought to be taken into consideration.
If Mr.. Blair must have diplomatic post why
not transfer Minister Porter from Rome to
Pekin, and saddle the ex-senator on to
Rudini?

1t cannot be an easy matter to run such an
institution as the Census Office on business
principles and keep the employees up to their
best work without causing hardship to some
one. Rules intended to stimulate those who
won't do their best unless they are forced to
it are liable to bear hardly on the more con-
scientious, who do not need the spur, and
compel them to exceed the natural limits of
their powers in order not to drop out Of the
struggle. These victims are entitled
to complain, but the hardships they
suffer would probably be difficult to
avoid without endangering the discipline of
the Office. This is the fair view to take of the
many complaints heard regarding the over
working of certain classes of Census Office
employees. Superintendent Porter Is no doubt,
as has been often charged, very anxious to
make a record for himself by completing the
work OF the present census sooner than was
done by his predecessors in the office. But
as he Is himself man who b as worked his way
up from the ranks and possesses conscience.
it can hardly be credited that he would sub
ject those under his charge to real hardship
and exact from them more than a reasonable
amount Of labor merely to increase his own
glory. Such a course would, moreover, be
pretty apt to result disastrously, as it would
endanger the accuracy of the census, and un-
less IL is fairly accurate the census will be
absolutely worthless. Mr.. Porter might much
better have the completion of the count de-
layed beyond previous censuses rather than
have public confidence in its figures shaken.
Accuracy is the first consideration, and any
thing which endangers it should be avoided at
all hazards

Some people accuse Mr. Blaine of being i'm

wonderfully well in the midst of the heated
controversy as to whether he will or will not

There seems to be a widespread impression
tnat Mr.. Foster finds it much more difficult to
run the Treasury Department than to manage
a general store out in Ohio. But as Mr..
Foster appears to be full OF good intentions
and quite ready to admit he does not know it
all, no doubt he will master the hard task he
has taken hold of in the course of time.
There's nothing like showing the proper

REAL ESTATE BUSINESS.
Marked Activity In that Line
Some Of the Leading
Dealers.

Real estate values, in keeping pace
with the city's growth, have natu-
rally advanced. and although city
property is now commanding higher
prices than ever before, the prices are
no higher than they should be. and
the market is active and healthy.
There have been no violent fiuctua-
tons, but 4 steady increase such as
the growth In industries and pUpula-
ton would warrant. The result is
that all investors are satisfied, and
the outlook encourages further pur-
! chases by those who desire safe in
|vestments.
Little Falls has several reliable and
careful real estate dealers, and bust
ness entrusted to them will receive
prompt and faithful attention.
Among the dealers are Rothwell &
Marriott, who control a large
amount of city property on both
sides OF the river: Lyman Signor.
who is one Of the Oldest dealers in
the city, and whose twelve years
service In the county register of deeds
Office gave information about the
business possessed by few: George
LaFond, who not only handles city
property but also buys and BELLS
farming land; Donat Trettel & Co.,
| who have the agency for large
amount Of local real estate.

t Is the positive plans of the com
,any to construct the road during
che year 1891; possibly not the entire
distance in one season but enou .h OF
it to secure outside and competing
connections for this city. The COM
>any has already expended about
SIC, 1000 in trackage about the mills
here. This road would be of great
benefit to the city and county, and it
Is a matter of congratulation that
it's construction ia assured.
The Great Northern has finally de-
cided to run a line through Little
Falls, and it will take q course from
the northern end OF it's line in Mile
Laos county, at Milaca, direct to this
city, thence to Eagle Bend, on the
Sank Centre Northern, in northern
Todd county; the last named line is
to he extended to Wadena. to con-
meet with II line Of road. belonging to
this company, running north from
Wadena. 1t is very desirable that
Little Falls should obtain this con-
nection with the Great Northern. as
it would give Il new line to st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth, as well ns
