two aldermen from each ward-the Aus
traliap system requiring nominations
to be made along party lines. The first
caucus YVES non-partisan for the purpose
OF indicating who the people wanted for
the city offices. Mayor Townsend was
endorsed without opposition. For treas
urer, Lucas Kells and Z. M. Sprague
were placed in nomination, and ballot
was called for but during its progress
further proceedings were dispensed with
Mr.. Sprague's motion to make the nom
nation of Mr.. Kells unanimous by ac-
clamation. So ended the first city eau

atecaucuses and ratified the nominations
made by the people.

had. In the first ward A. III. Petit was
nominated to succeed Alex Moore for

the short term to succeed ]. L. Robbins,
deceased, The other candidates ballotcd
for were M. Hogan, W. P. Hilsdale and
John Dimon. The party caucuses con-
vened and ratified the action of the joint
caucus, and the ticket was launched.
The nominees are all well-known and
highly respected citizens. Mayor Town
send has earned denomination by the
clean and vigorous administration given
the city during the past year. He is all
that could be desired for the Office.
Mr.. Kells-well the fact that he has al
ways been treasurer ofevery thingis suffi-
cient indication that he will make salts.
factory officer.
A. H. Petit has served as city
clerk for several terms and is thor
oughly familiar with council work.
Mr.. Hedin has been resident ofthe city
for many years. vigorous, clean and
loyal citizen. thoroughly alive to the
needs and demands of the city.

ative and clear-sighted, his services have
been OF great value.

More activity was witnessed around
the land Office this morning than has
been exhibited for long time. The new
towns opened to market were ISL and

range 81, all in the county OF Beltrami.
They are principally valuable for pine
lands and since Sunday morning SQUAT

break they gathered around the entrance
of the office, and when at 9 O'Clock the
doors were opened there was grand
rush of men and women into the Office.
all endeavoring to get the first chance.
There was, however. no conflict and
the fling was done at the rate of fifty
entries an hour. Before noon the big
rush was over. About $50 entries were
made. The land is subject to entry un-
der the homestead law, but quite large
number filed under the timber and stone
land act of June 8, 1878. Five young
ladies were among those who succeeded
in getting choice tracts OF pine land. 1t
is said that T. B. Walker of Minneapolis,
had a number here from Crookston who
fled on lands in his behalf [St. Cloud

1t is a source oflegitiinate satisfaction
if not OF pride, to even the modestest of
men to feel that they are appreciated by
their fellow citizens. At the close of the
caucuses on Tuesday evening last pleas
ant little episode occurred, which will
long be remembered by all who partici-
pated. DR.. Dubois called a public meet
ing of citizens and nominated Chan Har-
mon as chairman. He then announced
that he had pleasant duty to perform
in accordance with wishes of his fellow
citizens, and proceeded to read reco-
mendation to President Cleveland of
Chan Harmon tor his appointment as
postmaster at Tyrol. Not that the office
is particularly lucrative, or would be
over con 7enient for Mr.. Harmon to dis
charge its arduous duties, but it merely
expressed the universal esteem in which
Mr.. Harmon is held by his neIghbors
MIR. Harmon blushed crimson to the
roots OF his late lamcnted hair, the top
OF his pohShed head being as respondent
as full harvest moon. He failed to find
words to express his keen appreciation
of the honor. and after few eulogistic
remarks by those present, i'll attempting
to put question for having the petition
duly presented he declared the meeting
adjourned. 1t is really painful to see
one so completely overcome by feelings
of pride and gratitude-but Mr.. Harmon
is that sensitive that he loses his accus-
toned poise when his own superlatiye
virtues are even remotely referred to in
his presence 1t is too bad, for his mon
umental nodesty now interposes be-
tween him and the Tyrol post office.

appreciative audience. The lecture, II

deter sketches off hand, which were
finely and rapidly executed, the most
notable being an excellent portrait OF

elected hearty applause His carica-
lures were funny, and for two hours he
held the closest attention Of his audience.
It was delightful entertainment, and
every one present was heartily pleased.
AS an elocutionist and mimic he was
fairly good and his program was varied
enough to please all. 1t is sincerely
hoped that he may again favor this CITY
with repetition OF his unique entertain

AFTER SEALS.
The Steamer Alexander Will Raid
the Rookeries.


NEW YORK, March 22.-The Herald's
San Francisco special says:
Advices just received from Behring
sea show that the steamer Alexander,
which left here early this year, is al
ready In the forbidden waters, and
that as soon as the season opens she will
make bold raid on the seal rookeries.
The Alaska Commercial company's
supply schooner Dora has arrived from
a cruise extending as far north as Oun-
alaska.
The Alexander cleared from San
Francisco for Hakodate, Japan, Jan, 20.
She carried a full sealing outfit, includ-
ing a large quantity of salt. In her
hold was an unusually large supply OF
cheap liquors, and another suspicious
circumstance was that she carried 6
crew Of 30 men. At the last moment
several cases of Winchesters and cart
ridges were secretly put aboard.
It is believed here that the Alexander
will trade liquor for skins along thu
shores of the Behring sea and before
patrol feet starts north she will maxi
q dash for the rookeries, overpower tn
small guard on the islands and thel
slip south with full cargo of skins
The character of the crew and tn
nature of the outfit leaves no doubt tina
her mission is unlawful.

This is what is said Of the Iinda.

This is what is said OF the Linden
Trio. which will give a concert at the
Opera House on Thursday evening next
We are not saying too much, when we
pronounce it the best entertainment of
it's kind which we have seen in this city
for years. Miss Grace Clark is a violinist
OF rare ralent and fairly delighted the
audience. Miss Eugene Baldwin, as a
singer ranks with toe besc. and her vocal
training hasevidently been perfect. Miss
Louise Roman, as pianist, is very fine.
Last, bnt not least, is Miss Ida Clemens,
who is recitator, such as we have rot
heard here before. The scene between
Ingomar and Parthenia was great, and
the humorous recitatton,' am from a
Sleeping Car" demonstrated that she is
asgood in the humorous as in the pathet-
ic. All were frequently encored. Alto
gether, the, entertainment deserves the
fullest prs Use.
Show the male quartet ofthis city that
their efforts are appreciated by giving
this concert full house. The proceeds
will go toward purchasing piano for
the Opera House.

A SMALL class of politicians who keep
up their opposition to the national
banks would DO we'll to bear in mind the
fact that since those institutions were
created to the lose OF the last fiscal year
the treasury has received from the tax
on circulation $40, 635; 900 and the total
cost OF all expenses relating to the bank
ing system has been only $14.5S5, 900,
leaving net prott OF $5S.050,0O0, The
other taxes on the banks amounted to
$72.143, 900, so that the banks have
yielded $139, 1873 900 of clear revenue
to the government over and above all
expenses. A careful calculation made at
the Comptroller's office shows that if no
provision whatever had been made to
secure the issues of national banks except
to give this official FIRST lien on the
banks assets, the total loss during the
whole period from 1868 TO date would
be only 1858 ,667 or less than one mill
ion dollars on the notes OF all the banks
which have failed or suspended during
the thirty years. Freeman's Journal,
N. Y.-Dem.
Notwithstanding the remarkable show
ing as to the national banking system
there are scores of men clamorins for the
substitution of the old state. banking
system, under which more money was
lost to the people every year than has
beenlost under the national system since
its organization. Not a single dollar of
circulation of these banks but has been
redeemed at par-the 1858, 667 referred
to in the above extract is the sum which
would have been lost had there been no
governmental guarantee of circulation.
Our national system of banking is
the best, safest and most economical
: yer devised, and any interierence with
