INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.
Rev. DR.. Dalton's Lecture at the Second
Advent Church.


Rev. DR.. Dalton lectured at the Second
Advent church, Saturday afternoon, on
ssThe International Relations OF the
Great Powers of Europe The essen
tial points brought out were these:
The centre of interest and influence is
still the Mediterranean, just as in ancient
tunes. The mastery of this great sea is
as much the real object sought after by
the powers as it ever was. The power
that controls the Mediterranean holds IN
its hands the key to the Orient, and the
Orient is still coveted by each and all the
great states of Europe.
England wants this control to protect
her possessions in India and the farther
East, France wants it to build up an en-
pire in North Africa, and to check the
power of England. Her aim is to make
the Mediterranean French lake. Italy
wants it and claims it belongs to, her
more than any other power, as she Is
placed by nature in the middle of it and
as Rome was its ancient mistress. Aus
tria pushes for it with plans of regainlng
possession of the lost provinces. Spain
claims the entrance by virtue of her posi-
ton at the straits and her reversionary
rights in Morocco. Finally Russia, since
the time of Peter the Great, has been
heading for it and will never rest until
she reigns at Constantinople, the capital
of the old Eastern empire, and which
she believes she can make the chief city
of her own empire and the dominant
commercial and naval station of the
world. All the other powers are on their
guard against this, France only excepted ;
a strange exception when it is CO sid
cred that ultimately no power OF the
world would suffer so much or has so
much reason to oppose entrance OF Rus,
STA into the melee for the possession OF
the Mediterranean, since she would have
more ample means for annoyance than
any of her rivals becoming by leaps and
bounds the great military and naval pow
er of the world. Constantly menacing
Syria and Egypt by her land forces, she
would also gain supremacy over both
France and England on the sea.
For the present, however, France. is
blind to all this, blinded by her passion
ate desire to secure Russia as an ally
against Germany.

HAPPILY Welded.

Cards are out announcing the mar
rage at Austin, April 5th, of Eldon j..

lowing from the Austin Daily Herald:
One of the first weddings of the

South Chatham street, at I o'clock

are Mr.. EldOn j. Cook, OF Madelia,
WatOnwan county, and Miss Edna l..
Comstock, of Mankato, The interest
ing ceremony will be performed by
Rev. G. E. Wright, pastor Of the First
Congregational church of Austin.
Among the guests present will be Mr..
ThorsOn of DEBORAH, Iowa. The BRIDE
to-be is sister of Mrs. Washburn, and
also of Capt w. L. Comstock of Man
kato, who is we'll known by the militia
boys. Mr.. Cook is contractor and
builder, and expects to come to Austin
and make his home, after May 1St.

THE POSTMASTERSHIP.

1t is rumored about, and not denied,
that P. III. Carney will be an applicant
for the Mankato postoffice. The ru-
NOR started just previous to the
Democratic city convention, and it
was reported that Mr.. Carney's re-
ward for securing the nomination of
Hon. John f. Meagher for mayor was
to be the postoffice. Shortly before
the convention this outcome seemed
to be very much in doubt, but Mr..
Carney succeeded in securing bare
majority for Mr.. Patterson. The
smiles that wreathed his face at this
outcome seemed to be broader than
the occasion demanded, and it would
appear that he earned his reward. He
is apt to have some good backing and
his chances can be rated as No. 1.
Mr.. Carney made an efficient post
master under Cleveland's former ad-
ministration, and a far worse appoint
ment might be made at this time.
MessrS. P. X. Wiser and Henry
Robel are both active candidates for
the pOstOffice and either one would
satisfy the patrons of the office. Mr..
Wiser has influential backing and
since he came out has been rendered
the cordial support of many of our
best citizens. Mr.. Robel was handi-
capped somewhat by sickness in his
family, but has made the most of his
opportunities since then.
One of these three gentlemen will
in all probability be the next post
master. Which will it be?

relieved the family, and today they
are out of danger and will soon be all
right again. The beans seemed to
have been poisoned by the tin by
which they were enclosed.

SOME time was consumed at the
council meeting Monday night by the
Mayor in submitting some valuable
information on the cost of construction
and operating expenses of the Mount
Vernon, O., waterworks. The total
cost of miles of mains, so hydrants,
standpipe etc, plant very similar to
our own, was $64, ,131.44. For the first
six months the amount derived from
water rent alone amounted to 81 1868
with an expenditure for operating of
$780, leaving net profit of $365.55.
The second annual report showed a
balance on hand of $2,629.32. This
earning ofcourse is only from water
and as Mt Vernon is larger than Ma
poleon we could not expect to receive
that amount by one-half for water rem
tails. But it is on the electric light
where all short comings will be adjust
ed to the corporations gain. 1t costs
US now, approximatingly $4,000 for
city lighting. This amount would re-
vert to the city in addition to snug
sum for commercial lighting. There
is no question but that if economy be
carefully studied in the construction
and operation of waterworks and cleo
trio light, they will not only be self
supporting but sinking fund could be
created after the first year.
