Let companies and firms establish
this rule, in view of the trouble in the
coke regions of Pennsylvania, not to
employ any man except he be a citizen
of the United States. Let the aliens go
back to their country or become citizens
of this country, and serious complica-
tions will be avoided.-G. S. Pease in
Anoka Union.
The members of the Minnesota Legis-
lature who have introduced few bills
and who have devoted their time and
talent to killing bills, have done the
people Of the State far the greater and
better service. What has been prevent
ed being done is far more important
than what has been done in the intro
duction and passage Of. bills. u j.

I. The Keyes election bill, which in
short provides for the application of the
Australian system over all the state,
passed the house and senate last Thurs.
day by a vote of 81 to 40. The Demo
Gratis opposed The measure with all their
might, but the Alliance members, dis
gruntled with the former, sided with
the Republicans not only on the final
vote, but in the debate that preceded its
passage. Thus have the Democrats
placed themselves on record as opposed
. to ballot reform.
/ The starting of a circulating library
4 in this city suggests the need of pub.
lie institution of the same kind. The
value to town of a public library can
not be oyer-estimated. It's power to
effect culture and advancement is not q
little. Good reading is essential to good
society, and to say that person is
we'll bred is only true when it can be
said that he is also well.read. Intelli-
gence marks an individual at all times,
and any step tbat<will tend to raise the
standard Of intelligence in town
should meet with ready support from
all who are able. A circulating library
of the kind established here is made
quate. The membership can never be-
come large enough to be of wide intiu-
ence and the good results will be mes-
gre as compared with those coming
from an institution for the public at
large. But the circulating library
might prove good starter. Let it be
turned into public affair, and we have
no doubt but what support will come to
