On Tuesday, the writer happened to
be in the village hall when the ballot
box containing the ballots cast at the
November election was opened. Before
the ballots were destroyed, chairman
Cordiner, at the request of the writer,
counted the vote for representatives.
The result proved conclusively that the
original canvass was correct. r. c..
Dunn had $50 votes of which % were
for him alone and no other Legislative
candidate. Of the % votes II were Re.
publican, 10 Democrats and | Alliance,
b. e. Price had SO votes, of which S
were cast for Mr.. Price alone. Six OF
the s were Democratic and 2 Alliance.
There were two votes cast for Mr.. H
G. Stivers and for no other Legislative
candidate. Mr.. I. w. Bouck's name
was scratched on quite a number of Re.
publican ballots, but his name appeared
on number of Democratic tickets
which moro than offset the Republican
scratchers.

Little Falls Feels Good.

Little Falls has been steadily
growing as manufacturing point,
and the last two years has made
greater progress than any other
city in this part of the northwest,
and the prospects have been excel
lent and the growth would continue
rapidly in the lines before followed,
which would result in large and
prosperous manufacturing city,.
But the location of the Viewer
hauser mills at this place, for man
ufacture of their immense amount
Of lumber, is leap forward in the
development of the city that was
beyond the expectation held by any
a few months ago. 1t places Little
Falls at once in the lead of any
other northern Minnesota city. a
position she was destined to hold,
but which it was not expected
would be attained.-Z5ttzo Falls

Tom REED must have felt awfully
mean when he read the following
resolution which was adopted in
the lower house of the Missouri
Legislature the other day:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
body that in his startling usurpations
of power, Thomas B. Reed has lifted
himself without the pale of respectable
craftsmanship and will be followed down
in his history by a Inundated people
until he be lost in the obscurity which
opens wide its mouth to receive all who,
through subserviency, to party, drunk
en- by excess, forget that
''Justice, though it larry long
Payment will be made for wrong"
The above resolution is typical
of Missouri's puking, scottish legis-
lators. Censure from such a source
is praise indeed.

In the house proceedings, as
reported in one of the St. Paul
dailies last week, the following ap-
pears:
H. F.. 103. Mr. Knudson's bill Great
ing a board of pardons consisting of the
governor, attorney general and secre-
tary Of state, was the first in orders.
Mr.. Penney submitted an amendment
which was adopted, providing that no
pardon shall be granted to a convict
unless he shall be proved innocent of
the crime with which he was charged.
We had always supposed that
convicts were proved guilty before
they were sentenced to undergo
imprisonment. The idea of Great
ing board of pardons to pardon
innocent men and women! Mr.,
Penney has great head and some
gall.

SAUK CENTRE Herazd:: Hon. F.
&. Searle is making a Legislative
record of which he and his friends
have reason to be proud. He is
the acknowledged leader of the
minority in the house, and he is
well-balanced, level-headed, and
keen. He takes pride in his work
and no ill-advised legislation will
be spread upon the statute books
if he can help it. His bill to re-
fund the railroad bond indebted
ness of the State, stamps him a
tinancier of ability, as we'll as a
patriotic citizen. The State will
save nearly 100000 annually in
interest if the bill becomes a law.
There is no better gubernatoria]
timber in the State for 1892 than
Hon. Frank r. Searle, of Stearns
county. No fear for the State
ticket if he heads it.

from the 46th district, Messrs.

the bill from defeat, and it passed
the house by a small majority but
was slaughtered in the senate.
What have the Republican ALI

pecially of Todd county, gained by

Princeton, Greenbush, Baldwin and Blue

A light vote was polled and a very
quiet election. VIM. Cordiner had no
opposition for chairman of the board of
supervisors. He is a good official, and
should be kept in office, as long as
he will consent to serve. There was
some opposition for supervisors, but
the old members, Andrew Umbehocker
and G. w. Harter were reelected
John Dalchow lacked only one of hay
Ing as many votes as Mr.. Harter. Mr..
Dalchow is one of the most popular
Germans in the town. The proposition
to restrain cattle was voted down by an
overwhelming majority. The report

A CABLE dispatch from London

A CABLE dispatch from London,
under date of March 3rd, reads as
follows:
Mr.. William Henry Smith, first lord
of the treasury, in the house of COM
mons to-day, replying to a question on
the subject, said that he could not give
facilities to pass a bill compelling writ
ers of articles appearing in the news
papers to attach their names to such
articles, as any action in this direction
would tend to restrict the liberty of the
press.
And yet there are men in the
Minnesota legislature who are clam
oring for the enactment of a law
that the highest official of a Tory
government in monarchial Eng
land repudiates.

WE understand that Hon. c.. A.

has concluded to undertake the lob
OF building a bridge across the
Mississippi river. Several down
river parties-Gov. Merriam, R.
q. Elliott, Dave Clough, Loren
Fletcher, R. B. Langdon, and in
fact all the prominent politicians
OF the dual cities, have agreed to
furnish Mr.. French with the nee
essary funds. Our jolly, bald
headed friend, Granny Pease, of
the Anoka Union, will chip in $40
towards the project. That white
souled statesman, by the grace of
John Nugent and Gov. Merriam,
Senator A. Y. Eaton, will also con-
tribute five or ten thousand dollars
if the Duluth & Winnipeg and Jim
Hill live through the present ses-
sion of the legislature. Mr.. French
is a brilliant fnancier when it
comes to raising ducats.

Repeal Of the Presumption Law.

DULUTH, Mimi, March "a
copy of the new law repeating the
pre- emption and timber culture
acts was received here to-day.
The section relating to the repeal
of the presumption law reads as
follows: .
Section 4. That chapter 4 of title 80,
excepting sections 2275, 2276, 1886, of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, and all other laws allowing pre-
emption of the public land of the
United States, are hereby repealed
but all bona fide claims lawfully mi
tiated before the passage of this act
under any provisions of law so re-
pealed, may be perfected upon the due
compliance with the law in the same
manner, upon the same terms and con-
ditions, and subject to the same limita-
tons, fOrfeitures and contest as if this
act had not been passed.
The same section modifes the
homestead law so as to make
proofs of entry and all final proofs
more strict, and extends the com
mutation period to fourteen
months instead of six as hereto
fore. This will apply to all cases
whether the entry was made be-
fore or after the passage of this
act. The act probably does not
affect presumption settlements
made before the passage of the
law but not yet filed in the office.
There is also a provision cutting
off all contests against final entries
hereafter made, if not brought
within two years and those against
all final entries heretofore made
upon lands which has been sold or
incumbered prior to March 1st.

IHE present high rate of interest is
unjust; it should be reduced to 7 per
cent. per annum, with stringent penal
ties to prevent money loaners from OK
acting higher rate.
The above is the sixth plank in
the Minnesota Farmers Alliance
platform. Last fall the Alliance
endorsed the Democratic nominees
for the legislature in the 10th dis
trict. Had it not been for that en-
dorsement the Democratic candi-
dates would have been defeated at
the polls. When the Bull interest

Different Tune Last Fall.

Mr.. Bulls measure to reduce the
rate of interest was passed by the
house at St. Paul, Tuesday, by a
vote of 68 to 10. Stivers, Hem
stead and Price voted against the
bill, j. H. Sheets being the
only member of our dele
cation who voted for the
bill. This will be rather nauseat-
ing dose for those in this county
who supported them, and who are
SO strongly in favor Of a reduction.
We don't believe bill of this kind
can affect a reduction of the rate of
interest, but these same men whose
votes are recorded against it were
whining the tune Of interest re-
duction during the campaign last
fall.-I00d C0auaty ArQats.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

some Hints with q Flavor of Nonsense.
Young men. in your youth either split
rails or work on canal boat. Then
when you grow older. the presidential
chair may be yours. DO not dream OF
organizing a youthful band Of faithful
followers to go west and slaughter In
dians, for the red men. with the assist
ance Of bad whisky and government
ammunition. are killing themselves as
fast as possible.
Always speak l9ndly to your sick un-
Gle. He may make will some day,
and perchance he might leave yon ona
of the family spoons: or, even better,
you might become the envied possessor
of his antique oak boot jack.
When your parents disagree on some
slight subject preserve discreet 81
lence, and. if possible, leave the room,
for when your father comes out second
best, as he invariably will, he may TAX
his revenge on your youthful hide.
Do not cry when you have to sit in
doors and play with the little girls. As
you grow older, you will find that q
little girl is great comfort, even
though she consents to be only sister
to you.
In sharing candy with your younger
brother, always bear in mind that too
much would make the little fellow sick.
Remembering this, you will always be
justified in taking the largest share for
yourself. f.-Munsey's Weekly.

WAsHINGToS. Sept. 17.-Acting Sec-
retary Spaulding has directed the col.
lector at Detroit, Mich. to return to
Canada the Chinaman whom United
States District Attorney Judge Swan
on Tuesday decided to have come
from Canada. This decision over
turns the practice of the de-
partment and the opinion of the
attorney general on the meaning
of the phrase whence he came The
law of 1883 provides that when China
man is found unlawfnlly in the United
States he shall be tried before COM
missioner, and if held he can appeal to
the United States district court. The
decision of the United States
district judge is final as to
the government, no appeal under
the law of 1883 being permissible.
The decision of Judge Swan APP
plies only to the district over which he
presides, and other district judges may
agree with the opinion of the attorney
general and the treasury department
