He Will Be Missed.

+ John Lind, of Minnesota, is another
man who will be missed in congressional
circles, says the Washington correspon-
dent of the Journal. During his three
terms in Washington he has rapidly
gained friends, and when he retires he
goes out into the world with a record ex-
celled by none for honesty. energy and
ability.
Mr.. Lind has had enough of official
life in Washington, and in making known
his future intentions to his friends, de-
clares that he will return to his law prac-
tice in Minnesota, and endeavor to keep
up sufficient competence to keep him
self and his family in the future. It is
not thought, now that Mr.. Lind has any
intention of re-entering politics. The
story circulated in certain newspapers III
Minnesota, that he is ambitious to sue
coed Senator Washburn, is not believed
by the friends of Mr.. Lind in this CITY
or anywhere else.

The Reason insufficient,

The Review fails to see the strength
of the excuse given by a certain member
of the council for calling home City At
torney Eckstein on the ground that the
expense of keeping him in St. Paul is too
large. We are rather inclined to think
that some things may be too cheap even
if they cost nothing, and that again what
may apparently be expensive is often a
saving of money. Candidly we. think
such steps as this of recalling the city at
torney comes under the head of false
economy.
The mere fact that many of the small
Ter cities, after they saw the trend Of the
commission, woke up and sent their at
torneys to the scene of action ought to a
justification of the councils original &C
ton in sending Mr.. Eckstein to St. Paul
on the start. By their presence at the
sessions of the commission they have
succeeded in protecting the interests Of
the small towns and in defeating the sell
fish intentions of the representatives Of
the large cities. +.
/ OF course it might be argued that New
Ulm is not directly interested, but such
is not the case. She has good charter
it is true, but how easy mattet,is it not.
to vote q change in this cisy. Then bear
in mind That any change at allmeans the
acceptance Of the entire new charter
passed by the Legislature and is it not Of
importance therefore to be on the look
out both early and late? The legisla-
lures dealings with the charter will be
brief. Ten to one they will pass it as it
is handed in to them by the commission,
and if the small towns desire to be pro-
teceed they must begin their work with
the commission and stick it out. The ex-
pense should be a secondary considera-
ton. 81

In witnessing for several days the
stormy contentious, ever precipitated
by the blindness and yirulence of

and conviction was that the peO-
pie could never get relief from this
blighting, this whitening afflictiOn,
until they institute radically changed
methods for elections and legislation.
First, the, or improved Australian
ballot and second, the, or improved

Farmers will be interested in an
advertisement to be placed in the
VOICE next week concerning the
Hemp Binding Twine of which we
made mention in a recent issue. This
twine is manufactured at Fremont.
Neb., and promises to revolutionize
the binding twine industry. 1t is
made from pure hemp grown on the
prairies Of Nebraska and exccls in
almost every detail, so we arc told b,
those who have used it, any twine
ever placed on the market. IL is
stronger, is less wearing on the ma
chine, will bind more bundles to the
pound and do it better than any 9TH
er twine. Another recommendation
in its favor is that grasshOppcrs and
crickets will not touch it, and the
bundles come out OF the stack I'm as
good shape as they went in, thereby
saving endless annoyance and 4 great
amount of work to every farmer who
uses it. This is not due to any chem
ical solution that is used On the
twine, but purely to the nature Of
the fibre itself. There seems TO be
every recommendation in favor OF
this twine. So strong competitor
OF the combined companies was il
recognized to be that they sought to
cripple it in its infancy by sending
out twine into its territory, which
they termed hemp twine" but which
in reality was an inferior mixture
which gave very poor satisfaction.
and thereby they succeeded in preju-
dicing many people against hemp
twine." But the trick would not
work. The merits Of the genuine
hemp twine are gradually coming to
the front, and when the truth is
known and recognized by a general
use Of the twine there Is no reason
why we may not have hemp twine
factories scattered all over Kansas.

twine independent OF the trusts, and
by this means adding another profit

factory could be established right
here in Wellington and with our rich
lands extending in every direction a
market would be afforded at our very

twine comes at present is located at
