D. d. SEARLE FOR CONGRESS-.

The announcement that Judge D
B. Searle, of St. Cloud, has consented
to the use of his name as n candidate
for the Republican nomination for
congress will be received with pleasure
by the people of this part Of the dis
trict. The Republicans of Morrison
county will certainly tender their sup
port to him. Judge Searle has very
large personal acquaintance among
the people of the county, and he is un-
iversally liked and respected. In
abilities he is the peer of any resident
Of the Sixth congressional district,
and would, we believe,be more valu-
able congressman than any other man
mentioned. As candidate he would
be strong, and would be elected be.
You'd doubt. He has served the pub
lie in many capacities, and always
with fidelity aud honor. Among the
Republicans of this portion of the dis
trict there will be no division on the
congressional nomination. Mr.. Searle
is candidate upon whom all will
unite in an earnest effort to place him
on the ticket.

The Duluth Tribune is not treating

The Duluth Tribune is not treating
Judge Searle fairly when it cri ticizes
him for not announcing his candidacy
earlier, and he certainly had not
made the statement that he would
not be candidate. Until this week
the convention had not been called,
and Is the height Of absurdity to
assume that the field could be closed
to aspirants before the convention
was called. On the contrary, We con-
slider it unfair and poor politics for q
county to select its delegates for the
congressional convention before that
convention had been called. The peo-
pie should not be called on to select
their delegates to nominate a con-
gresham before the congressional con-
vention has been called, and it is sell
dom done to the advantage of the
party. Such a course may give the
most aggressive candidate an advan-
tage, but. 1T prevents fair contest for
the nomination.

Brainerd has used every infuenc,

Brainerd has used every influence
to have Grow Wing county vote
100000 in bonds to secure the build
ing of railway to Leech lake, the
which carries with it the building of a
large saw mill at Brainerd. Among
the most earnest workers for the pro-
ject was H. G. Stivers, editor Of the
stalwart free-trade Democratic paper,
the Brainerd Journal. The chief
argument used by Bro. Stivers i'll his
paper and in addresses in the country
districts was that the railroad and
mill would open up new territory,
increase the population, employ a
large amount of labor, and in these
ways increase the home market.
This is strong argument and it
secured the voting of the bonds. It
is especially gratifying to his Repub-
lieaa friends to see SO strong q
Democrat as Bro. Stivers shout him
self hoarse over the advantages Of a
home market.-St. Cloud Journal

The present Democratic program
is not to reduce duties, but to abolish
them-those on wool, binding Irvine,
cotton ties, etc. There are conditions
under which a reduction of duties, by
increasing imports, may increase the
revenues. But the abolishing of a
duty cannot, conceivably, have any
other effect than to reduce the revenue.
And yet the Democrats are grooming
that the government is bankrupt,
without enough revenues to pay its
obligations. This is fine example Of
the consistency Of Democratic policy.

Cleveland spent in the White House,
handicapped by Republican Senate,
will be as ''innocuos desuetude" itself
compared TO the exploits OF the
Democracy when in full power and
free to let themselves loose. Owing
to the peculiar situation, the Demo-
Gratis, if they win this fall will
probably carry everything with them.
They have not had sucha chance
since the war, and they are getting
ready for such a fight as is not often
seen. If there ever will be a time for
Republicans to sulk or lose or throw
away their votes it is not this year.

GREAT NORTHERN SCHEMES.
Minnesota Road in Pro.
SDect for the Ye

lNuS-oOHc mlultSOId 1NOdu III lV-
spect for the Year.
From Tuesdays Minneapolis Journal.
1t is learned that on Saturday
there was further consulate ton
between representative of the
Weyerhaeuser lumber syndicate and
Great Northern officials, with refer
ence to some railroad building by
that line, in Minnesota, this year.
The lumber folks want the road
extended from St. Cloud to Little
Falls, to haul out the lnmber to be
made there. The thing has been
kept perfectly quiet, on account III
the Northern Pacific. The latter has
a contract requiring the syndicate to
ship the mill product over it's road,
the same contract, however, which
required them to locate at Brainerd.
Ii the Northern Pacific doesn't get
this haul, it is likely to kick on the
main provisions of the agreement.
1t is understood the Great Northern
will build the line wanted, and
possibly, in view of new recent
developments at Brainerd, extend
to that point, provided it can be
sure of lumber to haul out. If the
company builds this extension at
all, it is said that it will also build
the long contemplated link from
Milaca to Brainerd. This would
make about 100 miles of new Mime
sofa road.

MADE AN ASSIGNMENT.

From the La Prairie News.
The sawmill firm Of Tozier & Son
made an assignment yesterday to
Banker J. A. Bowman. There are a
number of peculiar features in this
transaction that it were better not to
mention at this time. Suffice it to
say that the matter is now in the
hands of a man in whom our people
generally have confidence. Many Of
the stories floating about point to a
queer condition of things, to say the
best Of it, that have existed in the
Tozier management. 1t is generally
conceded that properly conducted the
mill is good paying property, and it
is to be hoped and is generally be-
lieved that the institution Will soon be
in operation again. Many of the en-
plopes are sin the supe" for amounts
ranging from s50.OOto $4,000. The
well-known business integrity of the
assignee, however, leads everyone to
have faith in the earliest possible
settlement.

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure ON the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
1t acts directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testimonials. Address,

The contest for the Republican
nomination for governor will soon
become active, and the selection of a
strong head for the ticket is certainly
necessary. Confidence is q good
thing in politics, but this year we
can't get too strong a candidate for

be made apparent to some of the
recently skeptical that Hon. Knute
Nelson is and always has been a

Enlightenment on this question is
desirable, and since last week s

Nelson's Republicanism questioned.

order as this, but remarked that he
expected it, we'll knowing Mr.. Garvin's
ability in that direction.
| The state account systematic
binding Irvine and tub and pal
business-is no new thing for Mr.,
Wolfer, the inmates Of the institution
at Detroit being worked exclusively
by the state in the manufacture o
pearl buttons, chairs, etc.

THE CITY ASSESSMENT.
Necessity for the Use Of Good Judg-
ment in Determining Relative
Values.

1t certainly requires careful study
of the conditions of a city to make a
fair and satisfactory real estate as
sessment. The average assessor is
too apt to exaggerate the value
given to property by building i'm
prOvements, and to fail to appreciate
the value of lands upon which oim-
provements have been made. 1t is a
fact that is sometimes lost sight OF
that much real estate remains vacant
because the price is so high that peo-
pie are forced to purchase cheaper
property upon which to erect their
buildings. There are several instan-
ces that emphasize this fact in Little
Falls. On the West Side there are
very few dwelling houses near the
Antlers hotel, while several blocks
away in half circle extending from
the paper mill around nearly to the
Pine Tree Co.'s yard are a very large
number of residences. Those houses
were built there because the prop
ertv nearer the Antlers is vacant to
a large extent because the owners
would not sell it for prices that lab
oring men could afford to pay for
building lots. That this vacant
property is much more valuable than
the Others seem quite plain to us,
yet the argument is made that as
the latter is improved it should pay
the higher tax. Every lot that is
nearer the Antlers than the settle
ment west of the paper mill should
be assessed higher than the lots
about that settlement. 1t has been
stated by some who have been dis
cussing proper assessed valuations
that the improved lots should be as
sessed about three times as high as
the property that is distant from
improvements, when as a matter OF
fact the improved property can be
bought for nearly one-third that is
asked for the unimproved property
that is being held for the use OF more
valuable buildings. At the best the
owner who improves his premises
will be unduly punished by an in
crease in taxes, and the discrimina-
ton in this matter is in the wrong
direction. While it would not be
fair to urge any inequality in assess
ments, there would seem to be some
justice in providing that an owner
| who had the enterprise to improve
his property should pay a less tax
than the holder who contributed
nothing to the growth and develop
ment of community.
The assessor this year has the most
difficult task ever imposed ON the
holder of that Office in this city, but
he is disposed to make a fair and just
assessment, and will doubtless
succeed in doing so. The absence Of
any former statistics that supply any
reliable aid to him in fixing the val
ues of much of the newly plated pro
perty cOmpels him to rely to an un
usual degree on his own judgment
His labors will be carefully reviewed
by the city board of equalization, and
together there is no reason why good
results should not be obtained.
