saloon at the corner of Salinas and
Laredo streets. Manuel Martinez was
drinking. Severe Gonzales was read.

is not known, was sitting at the table
lingering his glass. They all seemed
to be friendly until suddenly Manuel
got up, walked about the room

suddenly made a dash at
Severe, and struck him on the
cheek with a knife, fnflicting a long
but shallow cut, which looked ugly
at first but on examination proved to

InCendiaFy Fire.

The fire department responded quite
promptly this morning early to a call
of fire on Villita street near the MIL
bridge. The flames, when the fire.
men arrived, were deyouring the
stock, fixtures and furnishings of Joe
Maertz's saloon and hall, known
as the Oppenheimer building,
situated on the river bank, just west
of the Electric Light works.
Although the firemen did very good
work, the flames were very greedy
and soon Quilted the building. The loss
will be between $500 and $500, which,
it is understood, was fully covered by
insurance. The origin of the fire Is
supposed to be incend airy.

TIL Tapped.

Ed. Beere's saloon on Burleson
street had the till stolen Saturday
night. Three negroes had been
lounging around until late, and when
closing time came, they left, and the
saloon was scrubbed out. The negroes
started fight outside, threw some
rocks against the saloon, and when
those inside ran out the front way TO
see what was the trouble, one OF the
gang entered by the rear door and
robbed the till and all escaped.

HEAVY LOSSES SUSTAIN D
By not buying TEA at Hollands
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1891-02-27

In discussing certain features of
the Currier railroad bill, the North
field NeocS draws some very fOrcible
illustrations and makes few points
which are decidedly suggestive. "The
enforcement of this law" says the
Neaos, ''would result in the practical
abandonment of the Cannon Valley
branch of the Minneapolis & st. Lou
is road from Redwing to MankatO,
and all the elevators along the line.
But there are other considerations.
We will take for instance the city of
MankatO. Making the same rate per
mile on each hundred pounds, wheat
sent from Mankato. to ST. Paul by the
way of the Omaha would cost S17.20
per ton; by the way of Minneapolis &
St. Louis, 5000 per ton, and by the
way of Milwaukee, $50 per ton. The
towns on the Milwaukee road south of
Mankato could not compete with Man
kato in the prices for grain paid to the
farmers. The farmers, in order to
get the advantage of the liberal pric-
es with short line to ST. Paul would
give them at Mankato, would be caus-
ed the inconvenience and trouble OF
taking all their grain to Mankato.
Not alone this. The cost Of shipping
goods into Mankato over the Omaha
road would be about half the cost of
shipping goods into the towns south
of Mankato over the Milwaukee road.
The merchants in the towns south of
Mankato could not by any means pos
sible compete with Mankato prices,
and the result would be that the mer-
camille interests of those towns would
be entirely wiped out. The injury
would not confine itself to the mer-
chants, but the prices of coal. lumber,
and other heavy articles needed in all
towns only reached by a round about
way would make the prices to the pro-
ducing classes excessive and burden
some" The Neaos, to further sustain
it's position, presents several other
comparisons to show that the bill is
not what the rural towns want, nor
what the farmers demand.

LETTER FROM UNCLE JOSH.
FIDDLER's CREEK, Feb. %
No. 3.
Editor Free FeSS:

No. 3.
Editor Free Fress:
Attic close of my last letter the
Deacon was saying: Answer me this
Uncle Josh, did you ever know of one
prosperous farmer who did such things
as that?" / cast my mind around
among the neighboring farmers, and
thought of one living about mile
down the creek who did this very
thing, and | had his note for S75, then
long past due, lying in my desk not 10
feet from where the Deacon sat, but |
wasn't going to let him know about it,:
vet somehow the question made me
feel uneasy. / didn't like to be pressed
so for a reply and [ said: "WeIl, Dea-
con. I don't know what that question
has to do with the Alliance move
ment." A broad smile crept over the
Deacon's handsome face as he re-filled
his pipe, lighted it and sent rings of
smoke floating away towards the cell
ing, as from locomotive in still
frosty morning. II admit" says the
Deacon, "that the question may not
have a direct bearing on the Alliance
movement, but was thinking of poll
tics in general, how that thousands Of
men from one end or the country to
the other-generally farmers-will
waste their time and substance in an
endeavor to elect this or that man to
an office. They work themselves up
to perfect fever over it. They seem
to act as though the country would go
to the dogs if their candidate should
be defeated. You know how it was
last fall, Uncle Josh; fully One-half of
the farmers in our own town talked as
though the only salvation for the
farmers was to defeat the two old
parties. 1t didn't seem to occur to
them that this country had grown
from little over three millions at the
time of the revolution, at which time
the country was poor indeed, until
now it contained over siXty-two mil
lions of the richest people on the globe
and that during all this hundred
odd years-the country was governed
by one or the other of the old parties,

THE proposition before the legisla-
ture to appropriate large sum of
money with which to establish beet
sugar experimental station on the
state farm, should be promptly voted
down. 1t will prove, as correspon-
dent in the FREE PRESS aptly says, a
diary of dry statistics with little real
value attached. The OXnard manu-
factory has proved beyond doubt that
sugar can be profitably made from
beetS. What Minnesota wants is
some enterprising company formed
that will do what the OXnard people
have done-establish a factory and
proceed to business. The demand
upon the state treasury is quite large
enough when used for purely legiti-
mate purposes, without establishing
sinecures for people too lazy to earn a
living by honest toll.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1891-02-27

THE lesson to be drawn from the re-
cent municipal election in Philadel-
phia is one that should profit other
cities. The Republicans put up a
man for Mayor, Edwin S. Stewart,
whom the people knew and had conf
dence in. He represented business
principle and while the nominee of a
party, his freedom from ward politics,
his love for his city, and his well
known ability for the position of chief
executive of great city, combined to
draw support from all lovers of good
government, regardless Of party feal-
ty, and the result was his election by
100000 majority. This was the great
est majority ever given candidate
for Mayor of Philadelphia, and it was
brought about by putting up man
whom the people had confidence in.
If municipalities would select their
mayors with more regard for ability
and purity of personal character, and
do away with much of the politics
which has no bearing on the case,
they would prosper better and have
less chickering's to contend with.
Now that Mankato is soon to have a
city election it is pertinent to the case
that our citizens consider the Phila-
delphia plan and profit by the exam
pie. The names of one of our very
best, most highly respected and most
acceptable citizens has been mention
ed in connection with the mayOralty
question and all that is needful to
place Mr.. John A. Willard in the
chair is his acceptance of nomina
tion. The people want him; the time
when he can help the city most has
arrived. 1t has been suggested, and
we drop it here for favorable consider
alton, that a delegation of citizens re-
presenting all parties, selected from
those most deeply interested in the
advancement of the material inter-
ests of the city, wait upon Mr.. Will
ard at the earliest opportunity and
lay the case before him for his
thoughtful consideration. The May
or of MankatO for the coming two
years must be a thorough business
man, and no time should be wasted in
concentration of forces to this end.

ACCORDING to Senator Craigs re-
apportionment bill submitted to the
Senate for consideration the Second
district is changed but little from its
present lines. Waseca county is set
over into the First district, and Lee
Sueur and Sibley, two Democratic
strongholds are placed in the Third to
make it solidly Democratic. Chippe-
wa county, which is at present in the
Third district is put in with the other
strong Republican counties of the
Second. The population of the Sec
ond under this bill is the largest in the
State in point of population, having a
total of 1SS,OS2.

III is sometimes pleasant to know

sometimes not so pleasant. The New

and that the government was growing
stronger every year, and these same
farmers that worked themselves up to
such a pitch on the Alliance lines last
fall, you know perfectly well Uncle
Josh, how short time it has been
since you and / have seen these same
men feeling in the same way when
they were in the ranks of the old par
ties. If their side won in the election
''the country was safe" Eyes /
know says /. ''This is all true
enough, but you know Deacon the
times have changed within the last
few years, and they are growing hard
er and harder for the farmers, and we
are growing desperate. We see men
in business, in manufactures, in banks
and in railroads growing richer every
year, while we farmers are growing
poorer, and man must be blind who
cannot see that if things go on in this
way much longer that capitalists and
monOpolieS will own the whole coun-
try and the farmers will be simply one
great multitude of beggars. Deacon,
you must see that this is true; and |
am surprised that you can be so I'M
concerned about it," | spoke with
quite degree of warmth, for | was a
little nettled by the cold and uncon-
cerned manner of the Deacon as he
sat looking steadfastly into the fire,
and now and then sending out great
wreaths of smoke from his newly filled
pipe, and looking the very picture of
comfort and contentment. He didn't
seem to care to make any reply just
then, so | went on. 1.-The money
| lenders of the East are robbing us, the
railroads are rObbing us, and" 'just
word right here Uncle Josh" says
the Deacon, "have you forgotten SO
easily when you and l had to haul our
grain fifty miles with our teams to
! find market, and how little we got
| for it then, and what was your land
worth then Uncle Josh, compared with
what it is worth to-day?" But, said
| |, what has that got to do with the
fact that the farmers are growing
poorer every day, and are not the rail
roads and the Eastern mOnopoliSts
getting all our hard earnings? Answer
me that, Deacon, answer me that. |
think it is high time the farmers
formed party of their own; self-pre
ServatiOn demands it," ISpOke apid-
ly, as usually do when a little eXcit-
ed, but | saw that the Deacon was
| preparing w ~, LII liz hhoShSu CllC
ashes out of his pipe and put it away
in it's case and looked up at the clock,
and l caught glimpse of his face at
that moment. 1t wore look of pity
or disappointment, which l thought
reflected on my opinions somewhat,
and l said deacon cannot let you
go until you have spoken; say what
you like, old friends as we are, you can
say anything to me, give me some
thing to think about before you CO."
"Only word tonight, Uncle JOSH"
and the Deacon rose up and turnir G
partly about looked at me steadily fer
moment, with the old kindly beam
| ing smile that was so natural to him,
he continued: "Did you ever observe
any close relation between politics and
the price of wheat? Do you not know
that it is brains and not politics that
