Believing that Fulleris an imbeclle,
professional gambler, and all-round
william, as the Herald does, it is quite
natural that that would Justify the
county officers in increasing the
county debt $4,000 in 1888. Then
again the city Of Little Falls pays
the Electric & Water company U.s.
936 a year for arc lights and hydrant
rental, which satisfies the Herald
that the affairs OF Morrison county
are being run about rs economically
as possible. We admire the Heradd's
nerve in endorsing that kind Of
county fnanciering and we presume
the people should be thankful that
our court house gang is no worse.

capture the non-partisan nomina-
ton for judge in the fifteenth dis
trict. When the Populists captured
the non-partisan county convention
at Brainerd last week, which was
intended for the benefit Of Judge
Holland, the aspect of the matter
was considerably changed. Several
outside candidates have now APP
peared, among them J. n. True Of
Itasca county. It is understood
that Leon E.Lun Of Brainerd and

pirants for the Republican nomina-
ton. Judge Holland desires re-

ser ting arms.
The civilian forces of the provisional gov
eminent were then withdrawn, and the
custody of the building turned over to Lieut..
Draper with his company of marines Com
mander Swinburne said that during the
three nights preceding February l the town
was full of runors of n threaten attack
on the government building by sympa-
hiZers with the late monarchy, and all the
troops of the provisional government were
kept in the government building with pa
trolls about the place. The hosting of the
United States flag, this officer said had The
effect at once of stopping these rumors and
restoring confidence, and appeared TO be
approved by everybody. Commander SWIM
burne SAID he issued orders to Lieut.. Ora
per to consider himself responsible for the
custody and safety of the building to con-
suit freely with the officers of the provis-
lonal government, and carry out their
wishes as to who should be admitted to the
building, and to do everything to facilitate
public business. On the morning of Feb

the gates of the grounds were thrown open
and everybody allowed access between I.

The Meeting Today mt the Maltby

The board of supervising inspectors of
steam vessels of the Treasury Department
met at noon today in annual session at the
Maltby building. Gen. Dumont, the head
of the service, presided. The board is COM

M. Birmingham was late in attending,
having been delayed on his way east.
Nothing was done beyond the organiza-
ton and the receipt of reports from various
localities as to the happenings of the year.
The board will continue in session for q
fortnight in order to consider many matters
that have accumulated since the last an
nual meeting. The most important event
will be the hearing granted for Tuesday
next to the repreSen tatives of the canal
boat and large interests of New York and
it's vicinity. who will appear to protest
against the enforcement of system of reg
uia tionS Tor lights on such craft adopted at
the last annual meeting. There is now and
has been for some years a similar system
which calls for the customary red and green
lights on moving barees, in vogue on the
western rivers. the Great Lakes and some
parts of the Atlantic coast. The New York
men have, however, heretofore succeeded in
preventing the extension of the rules to
those waters, and have urged that il any
light were to be adopted white light would
suffice. The board mas resisted this PROPOSE
ton, because a white light is an anchor
signal. The matter is to be definitely set
tied at this meeting.

THE NAVAL WAR COLLEGE.
Some Doubt as to the Appropriation
for It's Continuance.

for It's Continuance.
There is some question as to the future of
the Naval War College. 1t depends on the
favorable action of Congress on the esti-
mates submitted by the Secretary of the
Navy for its maintenance for the next fiscal
year. Several members of the House naval
committee are said to be opposed to its
maintenance as a separate institution, and
favor the transfer of the college building to
the naval training station for use in the
training of naval apprentices. Secretary
Herbert believes that the college, If proper
ly managed and given the support it de-
serves, will be of great benefit to the naval
service Under his direction Commander
Taylor is now engaged in the preparation of
a program fo- a course of instruction at the
college during the coming year. The pro-
gram includes a six months period of in
structiOn to class of officers in interna-
tional law in addition to a large amount of
practical work in tactics, maneuvers and
exercises. The Secretary also hopes to car
ry out the long contemplated purpose of
utilizing some of the ships in connection
with the college. He is therefore anxious
that Congress should include in the naval
appropriation bill the usual item of 5000
fo- the support of the college during the
coming year.

THE CITY's HEALTH.
Prevalence of the Grip Among Citi-
~ seas and Odicfals.

For several weeks past the grip or ca
tarrhal influenza has been claiming many
victims, and last week the number reached
seventeen. Many policemen and fremen
have suffered attacks of the disease and at
one time the fire department was so badly
crippled that there were scarcely enough
of them left to fight fires. At present there
are no firemen down with the grip, al
though there are more than the average
number of policemen on the sick list, and
a number of them are suffering from the
grip. Although the number of deaths from
the grip was larger last week than during
any other week this winter the physi-
clans report a decrease in the number of
cases, and the reports thus far this week
show a decrease in the number of deaths.

THE mortality returns for the week

six deaths over those of the week before.
There were nineteen fatal cases OF con-

Subsequent returns indicate descending

said In relation to typhoid fever and malar-
