Moral Improvement.

What viii we do for the moral i'm
provement of Morris, is a great
question, concerning every citizen
who has the welfare of the community
at heart3 With population of | 300,
we have eight saloons open from early
morning until IL o'clock, six nights
in the week; and not a place but there
/ to go to for enjoyment, There are a
large number of young men and buys
growing up here that the citizens of
the town should be willing to stretch
froth their hands and save from this
yawning gulf of perdition. There is
not man in the town no matter how
loyalty he may denounce sumptuary
laws, that would like to think his boy
would spend his evening in the
saloon. We all know that young
people must have amusement of some
kind, and the question stands out
before us, what will we do with them?
Why, if we don't want them in the
saloons we must provide something
else for them.
Suppose we make a suggestion.
The people of this town are fully able
to erect building for city library
and reading rooms; furnished with
gymnastics and all kinds of unob-
jectionable games, for both sexes;pay
a librarian enough wage to keep it
open every evening in the week !;
let no sect or party have control of
it, but let it be under control of the
library board, which in turn is under
the village council. AS good order
can be preserved in a place of this
kind as in a church, and people of all
ages can resort to it and as we'll a
largo number of travelling men who
would prefer it to saloon.
This may look like an extravagant
idea, but do we not spend enormous
sums for schools, colleges and other
institutions for the coming generation
of men and women; and this one
would be to save them at time most
peril exists. There are quite num-
Der Of men in this town who would
proftably contribute $50 or 800 for
such an enterprise. Will not some
one with influence, enrgy and means,
take hold of these suggestions,
and formulate something tangible
out of them that may be blessing to
the town; and also that will raise it's
status n Minnesota. We invite cor
respondence on this subject as one of
great Importance. The subject has
lain too long untouched; and if we
have any interest in hum unity, or
pride in our town, we will move in
the matter.

The roads leading to Morris are in
state of roughness seldom equalled
and never excelled. The mud has
dried and in it's place are seen worse
ruts and larger chunks of uneveness
per lineal mile than farmers wagons
ever jolted over before in the same
time and space. In this connection
The Sun wants to know what these
highly improved and costly road
machines are for if not to improve
this condition of things7 The village
of Morris and several of the adioin-
ing towns have each one of these
machines and many would like to see
them in motion for few days. In
this connection The Sun will suggest
also that the machine owned by the
/ village be sent into the country few
miles over each of the main thorough
fares leading to Morris. The cost
would be slight and the improve
ment great. 1t may be too that a
few Discerning people might see in
such an act delicately insinuated
=; invitation to come to Morris to dc
their trading, and much good feeling
and some profit may result. Other
villages find it profitable to interest
themselves in country roads and sure
ly Morris is as far-seeing, as indus
trious and as enterprising as any Of
them. The road machine has roun.
ded up and smoothed many of the
streets of the village; now let the
scope of its usefulness be extended
and give the outlying thoroughfares
a benefit.

son of the big score-11 to 7, in favor of San

larger total of hits, but they were not
punched properly for scoring, and the errors
of the lntield. as well as the outfsld, let
man after man run home and tally for
Uncle Harris.
The thres muffs of Danny Sweeney in

They earned one solitary run, the only
one earned in the game. but the entire af-
ternOon's sport was so varied and spirited
that every one went home satisfied.
San Francisco won the game in the first
inning by making four circuits Of the bases,
through two hits and many large fragrant
errors. They were never headed in the
race after that, but piled up two more runs
in the eighth and four in the ninth. 1t was
more than enough, but Stockton was hot

WASHINGTON, March 81. - Secretaries
Gresham and Carlisle have been looking
into the expenditures Of the Boring Sea
commission, and have reached some allow
ances that are eXtravagant and that they
think should be discontinued. 1t appears
that everybody connected with the COM
mission, from the stenographeTs down.
have been given very liberal allowances,
which the officials of this administration
include under the head Of useless extrava-
gance. There are, it is said. eight or ten
officials connected with the commission
who are receiving more than double pay by
drawing from Sc 10 S15 per day in addition
to their regular salaries, which range from
$500 TO $500 per annum. The rumors OF
these expenditures have made quite q stir
in the departments, aud some interesting
developments ARE expected.
CHICAGO, March 81. - special from
Washington TO the Record says Gresham
and Carlisle have brought to light a scandal
of sensational dimensions affecting the staff
of the Boring Sea commission. now in ses-
sion in Paris, and adds:
ut is probable that Major Elijah w.
Halford, who. while private secretary to
Harrison, was appointed paymaster In the
army, will be recalled from his present
post as us Oh tuS DeTinH sea
commission, unless he consents TO certain
material changes in the condition of affairs
as Gresham and Carlisle find them.
Moreover, 1t is probable that the SER
vices of ex-Secretary of State John w.
Foster. now serving as American agent with
the Boring Sea arbitrator. would be dis
pensed with if his recent high position as
a Cabinet officer did not in some measure
protect him from too harsh criticism and too
summary action"
The story then goes on to say that the
members Of the staff of the commission have
been allowed most liberal perquistes in ad-
dtion to their regular compensation. Ii is
not known what Foster receives. but the
inference is that it is quite a large sum,
in view of the statement that Halford, in
addition 10 his regular pay as major of
5000 to 5000 per year. Is allowed Sl5 per
