ANTI.BOND PEOPLE NOT IN IT.
The Proposition to Bond the City for a
Railroad Carried by over 500
Majority.

Only Fifty y-eight Votes Cast Against a
Measure Of Great Importance to
the City.
The result of the city election last
Tuesday was a surprise to everybody.
While all expected that the bonds
would carry, no one looked for such
scanty opposition as was actually de.
veloped. Che bonds carried by an over
whelming majority, and New Ulm peo-
pie will now haye an opportunity to
test the statement made by the chief
movers in the railroad scheme, that
building operations would be COM
menced within the present year if the
bond proposition was approved of. The
vote by wards on the proposition ''to is
sue $4,000 OF the bonds of the city to
| aid in the construction of the St. Paul

Company was as follows: First ward:
for issuing bonds, 176; against, 81; Sec
ond ward: for, 226; against, Is; Third

on business last Saturday.
Mrs. R. Brownlee of indianapolis is
the guest of Mr.. AMI Mrs. Hubert
Berg.
The Craig apportionment bill has be-
come law. 1t is as fair as any that
could be passed.
Peter Manderfeld and wife of Gibbon
spent a portion of the week visiting
friends in this city.
3 A half dozen mill-wrights were in the
city the latter part of the week, making
bids for the Eagle Mill contract.
John Mowers was brought to ST..
Alexander's Hospital from Springfield
last week for medical treatment.
Senator Peterson writes us that we
are misinformed as to the provisions of
his bill regulating express charges.
The measure is drafted, he says, so as
to include all kinds of farm produce,
machine repairs, castings, printers
supplies and materials and merchan-
disc of every kind usually shipped by
express. 1t also provides for the re-
turn Of egg cases, beer kegs and the
like free of charge. Mr.. Peterson
thinks it is as complete as any that
could be drafted, and if that is the case
we are willing TO give him all credit.

When the people of Minnesota have
had time to know exactly what has not
been done by the present legislature,
they will wonder if that everlasting cry
of reform meant anything during the
last campaign, except deception a
vote-catching scheme. The present
legislature is the most extravagant one
in the history of the state, and absolute
ly nothing has been accomplished, un-
less we mention the waste of time and
squandering of the peoples money. We
await with no slight degree Of interest
the story these '.reformers'' will go to
the people with in next campaign. The
Alliance fellows must deal with stern
facts next time, not glittering, decept-
i've generalties as in '9G. The records
are made up, and the people can read
and will reflect. Wait and see!-Lana-
berton Leader.
Last week a resolution passed both
the house and senate allowing every
newspaper reporter about the building
! $3.50. All Of this howl about economy
sounds pretty rank when senator's will
appropriate the peoples money for the
purpose Of becoming solid with the
newspaper boys who write up ..short
sketches Of the solons. Strangely, too,
not one word was uttered in any morn
ing paper in either city. Every news
paper reporter in the legislature is sal
aried by the various papers and the
right to give them bonus we question.
II is dirty steal, and every man
who votes for it votes for rank steal
simply to encourage and aid his little
boomlet or boost him along the road to
fame. We propose to find record oi
