AFTER THE PLUMS.

The Democrats are expecting that
the heads of Republican fourth class
postmasters will drop like ripe apples
in wind storm after March 4th.
Candidates for various places in this
county are popping up numerously,
and Mankato is the Mecca to which
the aspiring ones of the faithful are
bringing their hopes.
Mr.. Arson Mallery, of Shelby, came
to the city this morning, bringing his
pocket full of petitions signed by all
but three of the patrons of the Amboy
postoffice, asking that he succeed
Postmaster Cross at that place. His
petitions bore some of the best Repub-
lican and Democratic names in that
section, and as he was successful in
securing the two needed O. KS in
this city he could be pardoned should
he consider himself as good as APP
pointed. Mr.. Mallery has resided in
Shelby for the past twenty-four years
and is highly respected. He served
on the recent petit jury, land has many
friends in this city. The Amboy Of
fee pays about $500 year, and is in
growing village.
Il. J. Randall is also candidate for
the Amboy postoffice, but must have
a stronger pull than is at present ap-
parent if he succeeds.
Capt. Owens came down from Lake
Crystal this morning on a mission
similar to Mr.. Mallery's. He is de-
sirous of succeeding Postmaster Hum
phrey, and is said to have consider
able backing.
o. T. Mobiles hopes to serve the
good people of Vernon in the Official
capacity of postmaster, and he, too,
was in the city today looking after
his chances. Whether his application
was o. X. ed or not we do not know.

ed by the members of Master Franks
class together with their teacher, Mrs.

entS and friends. No one can express
to the parents the depth of the SYM
pathy we all feel for them.

What might have proved a serious

What might have proved serious
accident occurred at the home of Mr..
M. B. Farrell last Wednesday night.
About o'clock one of the boys hear
ing some noise in the sheep pen, went
out and discovered two dogs killing
sheep. In the excitement Mr.. Farrell
picked up an ak handle and unforti-
nately killed his own valuable shep-
herd dog; meanwhile all was excite
ment in the house. The youngest son
Mike, was loading the rifle which was
accidentally discharged. The bullet
passed through the upper floor lodging
in the ceiling and narrowly escaped
killing Mr. Roberts who was retiring
for the night. When the excitement
was over Mr.. Farrell discovered that
the dogs had killed ten sheep and
wounded four more. Thus is the old
saying proved that lone misfortune
never comes alone. "-Madis0n Lake

A STEP IN ADVANCE.

The directors of the Presbyterian
church held a meeting Monday night
and voted to authorize the building
committee to advertise for bids for
enclosing the new building, this work
to be completed this year. 1t will
probably be necessary to borrow some
money to carry this out, unless many
of the subscribers anticipate their
1894 payments
A splendid foundation has been put
in, and it is to be hoped that nothing
will occur to prevent the awarding of
the contract for enclosing the church.
In that case it can be completed and
occupied during the summer Of 1894.

London Papers on the Silver Bill.
All the leading London afternoon pa
pers comment at length upon the pas
sage by the American Senate of the bill
stopping the purchase OF silver.
The ST. james Gd@eife says: No
country but the United States could
have endured the waste entaiIed by The
Sherman act for quarter of the time.
Tbe old world states. compelled to
maintain great armaments and costly
administrative machinery, would have
been speedily bankrupted. Nothing IN
the history of aristocratic corruption
ever surpassed the cynical impudence
of this silver legislation. The same i'm
pudeace has been displayed to the last
by the Senate, which eScelled the
worst obstruction ever attributed to Che
British House of Lords by its most bit
ter enemies"
The Globe says: "It cannot be doubted
that it wasPresident Cleveland's display
Of unqucnchable courage that finally secured
the victory. Far sighted as he has shown
himself to be on the silver question, he can
not fail to perceive that tariff reform must
come next, though the United States are not
required TO plunge hcadlong into unlimited
free trade. We heartily congratulate Prcsi-
dent Cleveland aad the American nation on
cutting themselves loose from one of the most
pernicious monetary experiments that was
| ever launched"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The Ameri-
can currency problem is by no means solved,
but huge barrier in the path of It's solution
has been removed. We have cause to rejoice
but our rejoicing should be tempered, since
the United States IN order to find proper
basis Tor currency to replenish its depleted
treasury. may look 10 Us for gold. Neverthe
less. there is one American economic heresy
the less When may we expect reform OF
| the tariff"
