NEW CHURCH AT MADISON LAKE.

Bishop Cotter, of Winona, Rev.
Father SutOr and John Klein, whom
we mentioned Thursday as having
gone to Madison Lake to look into the
petition for church building at that
village, returned last night after max
ing full investigation. AS a result
of their visit, new German Catholic
church will probably be erected there
at once. Bishop Cotter favored
large church, to accommodate the
wants of the village for some time to
come. He found that there are fifty
two families who desire to attend
this church. On the recommends
ton of Father Sutor, III. G. Gerlach
will prepare the plans for a church
4OX75 feet, with a steerle. 1t will
seat 300 to 400 people, and will cost
$4,000 or more. Such building will
be credit to Madison Lake and a
church there will save long ride on
Sundays, as the people now have to go
to harrisburg.

WHEAT AND SILVER.

There has always been claim on
the part of the free silverites that the
prices of silver and wheat were in
some way related and that when one
went up or down the other would go
in the same direction out of pure SYM
pathy. The late squirt in the price of
corn, however, showed that this bond
of sympathy is not as strong as has
been claimed. The Minneapolis
Journal commenting upon this move
ment of prices says:
Wheat, stimulated by the great ad-
vance in corn, moved up little with
corn through the belief that very
short corn crop would create larger
demand for wheat. When corn drop
ped wheat dropped also, but, all the
time, silver remained about station
airy at 624 to 62& cents. The move
ment of the produce markets had no
effect on silver whatever and never
has had. But recently when the de-
mand for silver in Japan and China
strengthened silver moved up few
points to 634 cents an ounce for bar.
Now everybody knows that corn
jumped 16 to II cents in short time
and outstripped No. wheat solely
because of the daily reports of crop
damage and, in some states, of crop
humiliation. A prospective short
crop sent the price up. No
reasonable man disputes that the
smaller advance in wheat concurred
with the advance in corn. 1.-THE move
ments of the grain and silver markets
for the past summer show cOnclu-
sively that the prices of commodities
are governed altogether by the
measures of supply and demand.
When corn is scarce the price of
corn will go up. When wheat is
scarce the same thing happens, When
wheat and corn are abundant the
prices fall. So with silver. If the
silver men really want the price of
silver to go up they will demand a
strong restriction of production. The
price cannot be improved in any other
way. The stronger Asiatic demand
will not make much difference because
it can be so easily met by the supera-
bundance of silver in the world.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

The treasury department is keeping
up it's record for slowness in regard to
the Mankato public building. We
have now had delay OF some weeks
in the selection of the stone to be
used, and although samples were sent
in long enough ago to build an ordi-
nary building, there is still no sign of
life manifested in the direction of
Washington. The contractor can do
nothing until he knows what kind of
material is to be used, and after he
ascertains that, he must make his
contracts, and the stone must be
quarried and cut.
J. d. Carroll, Of ST. Paul, who has
the contract for the building, has
visited the city several times, and
will use Mankato material as much as
possible. The brick will probably
come from the Riverside brick yard or
else from Shakopee. Mankato labor
will be employed.
The new plans call for clock
tower, with clock face on each OF the
four sides, and a bell in the sixth
story, to strike the hours. Whether
it is the intention for the government
to supply the clock we do not know,
but some of the appropriation that
would otherwise have to be turned
back into the treasury should be so
used. A clock, with electric attach
ment. and regulated from the North
field observatory, will cost $1,000 to
$1,000. We hope that our Minnesota
delegation in congress will lend their
influence to secure such clock as
shall be credit to the government
and to the city. They have already
done much for us, especially Congress
man McCleary, and their continued
interest can be looked for.

ROADS APPEAL.
Not Being Satisfied With Their Re-
cent Defeat, the Railroads
will be Attacked All
Along the
Line.

Gen. Pope received a notification
Saturday morning that the st. Paul &
Duluth and the Minneapolis & St.
Louis roads have decided to appeal
from the recent decision of the rail-
road commission reducing the rate
on hard coal to this city to $40. The
The appeal will be taken in the
district court of Hennepin county, land
the case must be taught out in the
courts. The thirty days allowed for
appeal would have expired tomorrow.
1t is expected that the railroad COM
mission will put the lower rate in
force until an order of the court is Sc
cured directing that the old rate be
restored.
Gen. Pope has decided to carry the
war into the enemy's camp, and will
at once proceed to make new and
more sweeping complaints. These
have been prepared, and will
be presented in very few
days. These would probably not have
accepted the railroad commission
decision with good grace, as it might
have done. The rate established by
the commission is only five cents low
er than that which the roads offered
| to establish on hard coal.
The new complaints before the
state railroad commission will be
against the same two roads as the old
complaint. The first of these new
complaints will be against the
! St. Paul & Duluth road, and
will be in reference to the Duluth
| Minneapolis rate on hard coal, $3.50,
on the ground that it is excessive and
unreasonable. The reason for this
complaint is that the rate from Min
neapolis to this city is based on the
other, being per cent. of it, accOr-
ding to the commissions ruling.
The second new complaint will be
against the joint tariff on soft coal
and salt, established by the ST.
Paul & Duluth and the Minneapolis
&,St. Louis roads. The present rate
is cents from Duluth to Minneapolis,
a distance of 156 miles, and u cents
from Minneapolis to Mankato. dis
lance of 90 miles, 1t is claimed that
these rates are a violation of section
I, of the state law, in that there is a
higher pro rata charge for longer dis
lance than for shorter.
The third new complaint is against
both these roads on their joint tariff
on all commodities, for reasons in
both the other complaints combined.
Gen. Pope will also make the con-
templated charge against the Omaha
freight tariff before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. This will
have reference to rates between Lake
Superior points to points in this part
part of the state. Other towns in
| this part of Minnesota have written
! to Gen. Pope that they desire to as
sist in this complaint.

The Mapleton Enterprise is kind
enough to admit that ''a comparison
of the market gives Mankato an ad-
vantage of one cent per bushel on
wheat, four cents on flax and two or
five cents on butter" but claims Man
kato prices are lower on several other
commodities, taking the market QUO
tations of the Reuie,U as it's authority.
We do not know how often the Revieoc
corrects it's market reports, but if the
Enterprise will make a comparison
with the market reports in these col
umnS it will make no mistake, as the
quotations are up to date. AS mat
ter of fact, the difference is greater in
favor OF MankatO, and our wheat buy
ers pay three to four cents bushel
more than the Mapleton buyers and
the same is true of most if not all the
other commodities. Tote fair, Bro.

On Monday last John and Alex.
McGregor hauled in from their farm
sc, 1872 pounds of timothy for which
they received $500 per bushel, or
81, 913.1S. If farming does not pay
know the reason why. We believe
in Mapleton for grain. Mr.. @. G.
Spaulding was the purchaser.-Maple-
ton Enterprise.
According to our figuring, the above
amounts to S173 bushels, and at $500
would bring S4,251. If nthe amount
stated as the face of the check is cor
rect, and there is no doubt that it is,
the price received was 1924 bushel,
which would be a more reasonable
figure. At that price, the crop is a
very profitable one, as the size of the
check indicates.

it is located, to the Hanson-Lampert

his yard and real estate at NicOllet as
well as his mills and lumber interests
in the northern part of the state.

FAR FROM HOME.
Hawaiian Ferns in Frisco"

The ST. Examiner of the 23rd
nit has the following:
Adolph Sutro has bought the
Hawaiian village at the Mid
winter Exposition. The purchase
includes all the appurtenances
with the exception of the volcano
of Kilauea, which is to be taken
to Chicago or New York.
Mr.. Sutro will tear down the
buildings and utilize the glass
windows for extending his hot
houses for delicate plants. He
will make an attempt to rebuild
the village at or near the Cliff
House. The thousand or more
Pulu ferns will be added to his
fernery at Sutro Heights. and
the palms will be planted near
the parapet, so that they may be
seen and enjoyd by the seals on
the rocks.
The houses that are made of
mating and bamboo will be
taken on Sutro Heights, and will
be put up at convenient points
for picnic parties, but no attempt
will be made to keep them in the
form that was given them by the
natives of Hawaii. The material
of which they are constructed,
while exceedingly light. is very
durable, and will make pictures
que summer houses to which
visitors may resort for rest and
recreation.
The collection of ferns thus
obtained by Mr. Sutro is said to
be one of the finest ever exported
from the Sandwich islands, COM
prising some rare varieties seldom
seen, even in the gardens of the
rich planters and settlers of the
island republic. 1t was feared
that they would not be able to
withstand the ordeal of trans
plantation to this climate, but
they appear TO thrive well.
None of the curiosities are
taken by Mr.. Sutro, as the great
er part of the collection is owned
by the Hawaiian Government,
and will be sent back home on
the next steamer.
