SENATORIAL TALK.

In casting about for suitable man
for State senator from this district this
year, loyal republicans should bear in
mind that as an act of courtesy, Brown
county should permit the Republicans
of Redwood county to furnish them
a candidate. Brown county has been
loyalty supported by Redwood, when
we named the candidates, and now
we can return the compliment. We
only hope the selection will fall to the
lot Of DR.. Finn, Jas. Byram, S. j
Race, Judge French, o. B. Turrell, or
w. R. Caswell, either of whom would
be most acceptable to any reasonable
man.-Sleepy Eye Dispatch.
The honor belongs to Redwood
county, it is true. But will Brown
county Republicans stand by their
colors, or go to the Democracy in case
a Redwood man is nominated. III
there is any such danger, which we
think there is not, that bright young
Republican, Geo. w. Somerville, Of
Sleepy Eye, would make good can
didate.

There is great cry again of ''grip,''
grip" though it is more than likely
that much that is called grip for want
of better name is simply bad cold
affecting people who are no longer
young. Any one who walks the
steets and sees the men with thin
overcoats or none at all and women
with light wraps need not wonder
that there should be so much sick
ness at this season. Many people
have only their own carelessness or
vanity to blame. There are plenty
of men and women about or beyond
forty, who do not bundle up less they
look old and who suffer the penalty
for their indiscretion. One of the Sc
crets of preserving health at this sea-
son is to keep warm.

In last weeks issue of the GAZETTE
it was stated that L. P. Hunt was a
pull candidate for w. w. Rich, of Ly-
on county, for State auditor. Since
that we have been assured that Mr..
Hunt.is making the canvass with the
expectations of getting there, and has
not allowed the city bosses to dictate
to him the candidacy which it was al
legged he was occupying, in these col
umns last week. Mr.. Hunt is an able
man, having a great deal of public ex-
perience, and would make good aud
itor, but in view of the fact that Bob
Dunn has unearthed the great lumber
fraud in the northern part of the State,
and proved that Auditor Bierman was
not the man for the place, we think
that Bob should be State Auditor, and
receive some reward for his labors.

We sincerely hope that movements
for the relief of the unfortunate will
not be inspired or directed by any
partisan feeling. A lesson which
ought to be salutary and enduring
is being learned, but the situation is
too distressing to be made the sub
ject of political dispute, while the
great work of success demands the
cooperation of all who have hearts to
be touched and energies to be enlist
ed. In this season of kind thoughts
and acts, usually in the happy exper-
fence of Americans a seasons of joy
and gratitude, the grim spectre of
want and despair invades innumer-
able households. "What can I do to
make the intolerable burden light
err" This is the question which
every tender heart must ask and
every vigilant conscience answer.-New
York Weekly tribune.

LEADERS CONFER.

Radical Views Regarding Hawaiian Mat
tiers Expressed by Republicans.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-A conference
was held during the afternoon at which
number of prominent Republicans
were present to decide if possible a
course of proceedings by that party in
congress on the Hawaiian question, due
to the latest advice from Honolulu Civ
ing the action of Minister Willis in
which ne called upon the provisional
government to surrender.
1t is understood that some very rad
ical views were given expression to and
that the question of the impeachment
of President Cleveland for his course
was brought up. This course, however,
was not seriously considered by any land
the cooler headed members
Advocated a Conservative Stand
and their views finally prevailed. They
argued that it would be much wiser for
the Republicans to wait day or so un-
til absolute and definite information
probably be not later than next Wednes-
day.
The conference finally adjourned
without taking any definite action ex.
cept to agree that there should be nc
concerted movement for the present. -"
Under the present condition in the
house it would be impossible for i'm
parchment proceedings to be begun at
this time. Speaker Crisp has decided
that nothing is in order until decision
is reached regar6iag the order brought
in from the cen ION rules for the
consideration OF . llson bill.
ImpeachL. Proceedings
must originate in LIE house, and, there.
fore, it would seem that this course
must be blocked until the question now
before the house is decided.
Secretary Gresham was seen at late
hour and stated that there was nothing
to be given out on the Hawaiian ques-
ton and that there would not be until
the arrival of the mail advices. This
would seem to controvert the theory
that the president intends to send a
special message to congress at once on
the Hawaiian question, including the
correspondence received from the Cor
win.
It is understood now that the dis
patches obtained are rather meagre and
that the administration prefers to wait
for full advices Lefore making any thing
public.

his communication informed the gov.

grant amnesty to all those who had
taken part in the revolution, to ratify
the obligations of the present govern
ment and to govern faithfully and in ac-
cordance with the present constitution.
The government was preparing long
reply to the minister. The Commercial
Advertiser of Honolulu, in an article
supporting the government, declared
that the United States congress had
taken the matter out of President
Cleveland's hands by calling for the
papers in the Hawaiian correspondence
and asserts that the provisional govern,
ment will not retire from power unless
compelled to by force, and says that this
is not likely to be employed.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Jan. g.
Advices from Honolulu to Dec. % have
been received here by the steamer Ala
media, which has just arrived from San
Francisco. The officers Of the vessel
stated to an Associated Press CORES
pondent that the excitement in Honolulu
over the political situation was growing

ment was Is firm AZ ever in its deter
mination to maintain it's position and
was completing its preparations to resist

administration that ceased to exist last

we're as some Of the taxpayers
contend, yet even those taxpayers who
have nurtured a grievance over it, if
possible to stand out and look at the
matter squarely, would be- willing to
admit that the administration was
right. Public matters cannot be made
class matters all persons, no matter
the station, must be treated alike, in
Legislative and judicial movements,
and this is the principle that the ex-
mayor has kept we'll to the front. He
was not defeated on the water tax is
sue. The officer is on the defensive,
must answer various charges,the most
important one being that He has held
the office long enough. Pass it around"
The OK mayor has the satisfaction
of knowing that the present city water
works is monument to his admins
tration. During his official career the
city qas grown steadily. He has TAX
en- it from an uncertain financial basis
and turns it over to his successor with
the knowledge that the foundation
cannot be attacked at the present time
that orders can be paid when they
are due. He probably realizes that
the office is an empty honor an honor
for every one to kick at, and as far as
the office itself is concerned is prob
ably glad to leave it, the knowledge of
defeat being his only regret.
To the new mayor and council the
people will look for progressive pol
icy. Redwood Falls is young city,
restless, and insists on rapid growth.
There will be plenty of material
brought to the surface for nurturing
or retarding of this growth, and it is
the duty of the council to see that the
former is encouraged; that the latter
is stamped out. That should be the
object of the administration, and that
is what the people will look for.
