THE CITY FATHERS.
Hold a Short Session, But Manage
to Transact Considerable
Business.

From Saturdays Daily.
Last evening a short adjourned
meeting OF the City Council was held
to dispose of some business that
needed immediate attention.
The most important matter which
came up for the consideration OF the
city fathers was the presentation of
u petition, signed by some thirty-five
OF the heaviest taxpayers in the city.
The petition set forth that it was
desirable that a park be established,
and requested that steps be taken
with a view of purchasing the tract
of land known as Maple island. lying
between Third and Fifth avenues
southeast. and Third street and the
river. s.ss4,s5egrSs-sssss,ssss.s
The opinion was expressed that
when the Little Falls Improvement
company purchased that and other.
property from the Water Power
company it was specified that Maple
island be converted into a park. The
matter was referred to committee
from each ward consisting of Aid.
Rider, Butler and Mahan.
The application of George Ender
to run a saloon in the Hotel Buck
man, and Clayin & Cromer to run u
similar business Oh Broadway, near
the bridge, were granted.
Aid. Rider was appointed COM
mittee of one, to make soundings
for new bridge across the MISSISSIPPI
pi, in connection with the city
engineer.
1t is proposed that the new bridge
shall start at the foot Of Broadway
and run directly across the river, in
stead OF at an angle as is the case
with the present bridge.

Superahundance of Dogs.

Considerable complaint is being
made as to the large number OF dogs
which are running around the
streets. 1t is claimed by parties Ow-
ing horses that a number of run-a
ways have been caused by dogs
barking at horses
One gentleman in speaking of the
matter said that he was afraid to
have his wife drive over town alone
as the horses were apt to become
scared.
There is an ordinance providing
that dogs must not be allowed t.
run on the street without a collar
and in case they do and become s
nuisance, the police are empowered
to dispose of them.

The CITY Park,

In considering the matter of
establishing a park in the city, it
would be we'll to remember the old
addage of penny wise and pound
foolish. Minneapolis learned the
truth of this expression, but at the
expenditure OF thousands of dollars.
When that city was little, if any,
larger than Little Falls is at present,
a movement was started for the city
to purchase Nicollet Island and
convert it into a park. The property
was owned by W. w. Eastman and
the price asked was $5. 600 After
considerable delay and dilly-dallying
resolution was passed authorizing
it's purchase. In the meantime
realty had advanced in price and
Mr.. Eastman felt justified in asking
$lO, 900. This put a stop to the
matter for the time being, but
finally it was decided to pay that
figure. The same block stood
in the way, as $4,000 was
asked. When the city was ready tC
pay the latter figure, the price was
up to $4,000, and SO it went unit
$100, 900 was refused for what haC
been offered for 5000.

Twice during his residence in Min

fight for his party, and when a time
presented itself that a nomination
would at least carry some hope for
success, the doors are barred against
him and the brazen placard posted on
the panel thereof-"You are no long

The Democratic friends of Judge
Lochren throughout the state are not
in mood to swallow at one gulp the
ingratitude exhibited toward him by
the late convention, and they may re-
taliate in manner not to the liking
of those who forced the nomination of
a partisan judiciary by supporting the
nOn-partisan Bench.

LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE.

Local politics, while somewhat de-
pressed from the effects of the hot
weather. now and then give evidence
of life, by putting in motion this or
that mans name for an office.
The name most talked about these
warm days is that of Gilbert Gutter
son, of Butternut Valley. He has de-
cided to ask at the hands of the Re-
publican county convention the nomi-
nation for legislative honors. The
FREE PRESS has only one interest in
the coming nominations, and that
should be shared by all good Republic
canS-and that is the selection of the
very best men to fill the various no.
sitiOnS of trust. Mr.. Gutterson is
certainly a young man of promise and
considerable experience. He has held
different clerkships in the legislature
and is not stranger to the qualifica-
tions necessary to successful repre-
sentative. His friends feel that he is
especially well equipped to make a
valuable member, and that he has the
ability and push to make himself felt
in such body cannot be disputed. He
is held in high esteem by all who
know him, and he is well known by
almost every man in the. county. If,
therefore, the Republicans shall place
him in nomination. and If his nomi-
nation shall be ratified at the polls as
it no doubt would be, Blue Earth
county would have no reason to re-
greet it's choice.
Mr.. Gutterson's name is before us
for consideration.

AGAIN THEY DODGE.

Great many people expected
greater things from the
House of representatives, which
is a Democratic one, and some
were disappointed in that body. But
when they take everything into con-
sideration they will see that that body
was laboring under a number of dis
advantages, the greatest of which was
having to contend with a Republican
Senate Wan0nG Herald.
So the Republican Senate is respon-
sible for all the shortcomings Of the
Democratic Housed Well, it is prob
ably easier to let yourself down gently
by your boot straps this way, than to
come out and acknowledge the gross
incompetency of that body. Still
people generally will wonder what
the Senate had to do in preventing
the Democratic majority of the House
from keeping the promises they made
the people in regard to economy; how
it DISTRACTED their repeating the Nc
Kinley law as they promised to do;
wherein it interfered with their
adopting rules so that they could
transact business, and wherein it
caused them to daily along for eight
months at great expense to the peo-
pie, to do the business that ought to
have been transacted in one-third of
that time. When it is explained how
the Republican Senate hampered
that body in these matters, and pre-
vented it from acting intelligently
upon them; when some rational ex-
'cuse is given why the legislation the
Democrats promised the country,
whether good Or bad, was not pre-
sented to the Senate and so throw
the entire possibility for its failure
upon the Republicans, when this is
explained, the people will be more
apt to carefully consider the alleged
disadvantages under which Democ-
racy labOred. 1t is a matter they
will keep in mind when voting for
congressman next November

A NEW PHASE IN THE SOUTH.

The recent Alabama election places
a somewhat new phase upon the south
ern question which, while it may not
result in the dismemberment of the
solid south this year, may work some
thing of a change there in the near
future. One feature of it is the Sc
we're blow it strikes at the cry that
has always been raised over negro
domination whenever the question
of negro voting has been
raised. 1t has always been contended
at the north that if the white vote of
the south would divide, as it does
here, the negro vote would follow
suit, and all question of negro rule
would cease. The result in Alabama
justif1es this belief. At the recent
election the negro vote divided, the
larger share of it going to the straight
Democratic candidate. In fact had
he not received it he would have been
defeated by large majority.
1t is probably to much too expect
that the south will at once change it's
course and grant to the negro those
rights which were years ago confer
red upon him, but it would seem as
though it must have it's effect upon
the people there and be- an entering
wedge which will in time destroy the
ghost of NEGRO domination" which
has for years lowered over that Sec
tion. Democracy has had much to
say about the so-called force bill, but
it ought to recognize the fact that
the granting of the full rights to
those whom it has so long OBJ
pressed will be the best preventative
of such legislation.
One thing, however, seems to be
conclusively settled, and that is that
the Peoples party will not succeed in
carrying single southern state next
November, Notwithstanding their
claims, and the possibilities of their
gathering even one electoral vote is
too remote to consider. The Demo
cratic Alliance men of the south are
willing that the Republicans of the
north and west should be tolled off
in that direction but they don't intend,
in the face of presidential campaign
to endanger their own section of the
country.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The time is approaching for the
selection of candidates for the legis-
lature and it behooves the Republi-
cans to be very careful in picking out
their candidates. All personal differ
ence ought to be laid aside and the
ablest, strongest and cleanest men
men who command the respect and
confidence of the communities in
which they live-should be put up for
such positions. The coming session
of the legislature will have macy i'm
portant matters before it to act upon,
which will need the careful consider
alton of cool, conservative Judgement
and among the most important will
be the selection of Il United States
senator. 1t is of the utmost import
ance that the next senator from this
state be Republican. The Republi-
can majority in the senate of the next
congress will in all probability be a
small one, but it is doubly important
that it should be retained, especially
when we call to mind the incompetent
cy of the Democratic party as exhibit
ed through its representatives in the
present House, and note the danger
of giving to such men the control of
the government. The choice of a
president is matter of no little i'm
portance, and should receive the due
consideration of the people, but it
should not engross public attention to
such an extent as to cause them to
lose sight of congressional and legiS-
lative matters.
The primaries are where the choice
of the party is made and the people
should attend these and make their
wishes known and not leave such
duties to few persons as is too often
the case. The national Republican
ticket is strong one, and the Re-
publicanS of this state have present.
ed to the people remarkably strong
nominations for state and congress
sional positions. These should be fol-
lowed up with equally strong selec-
tions in the legislative field, and
victory will rest with us at the polls
next November.

Democracy of Minnesota to make any

the "everyday people" do not recog-

DURING the month of July property
to the amount of 81 100000 was de-
stroyed by fire in the United States
and the Dominion of Canada.
This does not include the loss at St.
Johns, N. B., which is outside of the
statistical limits. This exceeds by
two millions the losses from the same
cause in July, 1891, but is less by three
millions than for the same month,
1890. The loss of property by fires,
many of which are the result of gross
carelessness, represents a considerable
tax upon the resources of the nation.
