The editors of The Century have
learned, since it was printed in that
magazine for March, that the interesting
account by Capt. USHER of "Napoleon's
Deportation to Elba" was very obscure
ly printed in Dublin in phamphlet form
in 1S41. 1t must have had very small
circulation, and, in fact, when the manu-
script was submitted to The Century,
the family were not aware that any
copy of the pnamphlet was in existence,
nor that it was the same material, as
they had merely heard that Capt Usher
had once printed brief account of the
trip, as they believed for private distri-
button only. It's publication this month
has brought into prominence very
valuable and very little-known histori-
cal document. In the magazine the
journal is accompanied by sketch and
portrait OF Capt. usher and an inter-
esting trontispice engravingof Napoleon.

CITY AFFAIRS.

The next municipal election will be
one which should call forth the most
discriminating care on the part of our
citizens in the matter of selecting alder
men. One half oil the council will be
elected on the first Tuesday in April. A
successor to the late president, !. l..
Robbins, to serve one year, and success
sors to ]. c. Parker and Alexander
Moore. to serve two years. The men,
bers holding over are A. o. Scrivener,
Matthew Dimond and Ormus Marshall.
The present council has been, in the
main, wise and conservative in ordering
public affairs, although the year has
been one of commonplace, the only ex-
traordinary feature being the execution
of the contract for lighting the streets.
and supplying power for the waterworks.
But the ensuing year gives promise of
presenting business matters OF greater
importance. and whether It does or not,
it behooves the people to select men for
the council in whom may confidently be
reposed the transaction of business f
any Importance, even the gravest,
should such emergency arise. The two
wards should take pride in being wor-
thily represented, and it is none too
soon to begin agitating the matter Of
selecting candidates. The officers to be
elected are: Mayor, three aldermen, as
indicated above. and a city treasurer.
With the present mayor no fault can
Justly be found. He has done what he
has had to do, faithfully and intelligent.
ly, and always with an eye single to the
best interests of the city.
The position of alderman 10 one rather
to be avoided than sought after. for the
members of the council usually receive
more kicks than ha'pence. But this
fact should not deter good men from
yielding to the opportunities of citizens
who demand their services. It is a debt
they owe to the community in which
they liye, and attention is thus called to
the matter that the voters may have
ample time to canvass the situation and
select the best men for these important
positions.

If THE following extract from Wash
ington letter is reliable. Mr.. Ha1vorson
is to be congratulated. He was wise
enough to know good thing when he
saw it, and no one can blame him for
accepting the situation as he found it:
Representative Halvorson, the Alliance
member fnom the Fifth Minnesota dis
trict, rerires from congress feeling very
we'll satisfied that he has got the best of
the bargain. He never expected to secure
seat in congress, and never expected,
after he was first elected, to he returned;
and he is therefore not disappointed. 1t
is said of Mr.. Halvorson, that during
his second year in Washington he has
not expended for his livelihood above his
board any n ore than l is mileage to and
from the capital city and in the end is
therefore gamer by two years salary
which amounts to about $4,000. 1t is
believed that he will return to Minnesota
$4,000 ahead ofthe congressional game
and with no lingering regrets.

The Waterloo, N. Y, Observer, DEM
ocratic paper of the Hill school of poll
tics, has this to say:
Mr.. Cleveland has made a serious
error in appointing Walter Q. Gresham
Secretary of state. There is no doubt
that he will adorn the office. AS a
Judge he has made the American people
very fond Of him, because of his stalwart
opposition to the encroachment OF mo-
nopolies upon the rights OF the people.
But these considerations would not
justify Mr.. Cleveland IN making him the
first officer of his cabinet. There are too
many strong men in the Democratic par
ty, who wear the marks of long, faithful
and hard service, for Mr.. Cleveland to
look to the new recruits at this time.
When the people voted for Mr.. Cleve-
land last November they expected that
the affairs of the government would be
IN the hands of SIMON pure democrats,
and they have given Mr.. Cleveland a
democratic senate and a democratic
house of representatives.

SCHOOL ELECTION.


The annual election Of members of the
school board viii take place on Satur-
day, March 25th, between the hours of
10 A. N. and 4 r. n, at the school house.
when three vacancies will be filled, the
terms Of directors Perkins, Woodbury.
and Kelsey expiring. It would be well If
our citizens would arouse themselves to
their own interests and turn out at these
school elections, manifesting an interest
in some degree commensurate with the
importance of the matter. It 10 crying
shame that rarely are fifty votes cast for
school directors in a voting population
OF fully SO0-women having the same
privileges as men m the matter OF elect
ing school officers. This profound indif-
ference may be construed to mean that
the people are satisfied with the admins
traitor of our educational affairs. which
10 doubtless the ease, for our board OF
education has managed affairs .dmira-
bly,. At the same time it would be more
gratifying to give members an afirma-
tive expression of confidence by re-elect-
ing them by a pronounced vote. than the
mere negative one OF allowing them to
be reelected by default.
When;itis considered that this board
has at its disposal about half the money
raised by taxation within the district,
disbursing SIC, 1000 year for purpoaes
which so nearly affect the present and
future welfare of the community, and are
custodians OF the most valuable property
owned by the community, it is astonish'
ing that the taxpayers, and patrons Of
the school manifest such supreme indif
ference.
The city council, the election of which
never tails to elicit the iveliest interest
does not begin to carry the responsible
tieu which devolve upon the boad o.
education. T.
Kickers are not wanting after election
to denounce this, that and the othe,
thing done or neglected by the board
and yet these very kickers rarely appear
at the polls upon the occasion ola school
election.
1t is true that tine city has an admira'
BILE public school; tina. its management
by the board and by the corps of instruc-
tors is all that could be desired; that
there is little grounds for complaint-yet
the public owes duty to itself which it
does not discharge when it absents it
selffron the annual school meeting.

MAJOR BALDWIN, ournew congressman
says that he considers the law enacted

Harrison as one of the last official acts
ofhis administration. requiring railroads
to equip their freight cars with automa-
tic couplers, as vicious. The Major is
not in sympathy with the thousands of
railroad emplo, es in hfs districts. They
recognize in the bill a measure which will
reduce in wonderful degree their liabili-

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's inaugural adj
dress was brief and remarkable Tor what
it left nasaid. 1t outlines a policy akin
to free trade, bucks against the silver
idea as prevalent within his own party,
and afhrms his adhesion to the princi
pies of civil service reform. To enforce
these three salient points will put him
upon his mettle, and if he succeed, the
suspicion that he is greater and better
than his party will be confirmed beyond
question. The hungry and thirsty are
anything but civil service reformers.

ery-acts 50 foreign to his nature as to
be wholly repugnant.
He has made an enviable political
record in that he has never sought to
make any record at all. He is too hon.
est to appear to do anything he was not
doing, and too modest to attempt to do
anything he felt he could not do. Every
vote cast by him has been prompted by
strict consciousness and honesty
of purpose, He has been-he could not
help being-an honest man, whether in
official or private life. He never could be
brought to understand how men can
have two distinct and altogether oppo-
site code of morals, one to be applied to
personal an the other to public business.
The unpretentious, honest, straightfor.
ward farmer was an unpretenious, hon.
est and !. straightforward member Of
congress. Faithful to all routine duties
devolving upon by virtue of his office be
has discharged all with the utmost pune
tiliousuess. Where he did not understand
he was frank enough to acknowledge
that be did NOT. and he won the respect
of his colleagues by his consistent devo-
ton to congressional proceedings.
He had no schemes to be worked
through by combinations and deals, and
entered into none of them for others.
It would be a bold man indeed who
would have the nerve to approach Ket-
