has pursued financially, was endorsed
and to keep the free silver men in
line, it proceeded to nominate Gen
Hardin most pronounced free silver
man, for governor. Had there beer
any more sides of the question tt
have gotten onto they would proba
bly, have proceeded to land Thereon
with the same agility.
And this by the leading Democratic
organs is called ''great victory" ant
if it succeeds in keeping the party to
gether in that state, it probably will
be for the party, but as far as the rea
settlement of any question is con
cerned, it represents no victory what
ever.
1t is possibly a forecast of the man
ner the Cleveland wing of the party
will run things next year, for if it is
able to capture state like Kentucky,
which was so thoroughly impregnated
with the free silver craze, there is no
reason why it cannot capture enough
states soft can control the national
convention, but if its action in Kentuc-
ky is criterion to 60 by it will not dare
come out square upon the financial
question for fear of splitting the
party. But it will hardly be able to
win by such course.
Standing upon strong, clear plat
from, favoring adequate protection to
our industries, and true bimetallism
in the money question, the Kentucky
ought to stand a good
chance of winning the victory at the
election in that state.
Twenty years ago the Republicans
cast only 10000 votes to 97,156 for the
Democrats. Since then the Republi-
cans have made enormous gains. In
1891, in the gubernatorial contest the
Democratic vote was IA, 16S, and the
l16,0S7. In the great
Democratic year of 1892 the Republi-
can vote reached 135, AL against 49,
451 for the Democrats. Last year in
the congressional elections it nearly
the Democratic vote, and
they elected five or six of the eleven
Slowly but surely the
state is slipping from the grasp of
Democracy.

A FEW days ago Worthington voted
to issue $4,000 in bonds to put in an
electric light plant. Worthington is
a place of about 1900 inhabitants, is
compactly built and will not need
nearly as an extensive plant as Man
kato would, and yet one-third more is
provided for to give it plant to meet
it's needs. The idea of claiming that
town the size of Mankato can lie
lighted at less cost for plant, ETC., than
a town of 800 or 1000, mere folly.

ELECTRIC CAR LINE NEEDED

One of the most pressing needs in
Mdnkato today is an electric car line.
We are reaching point in our growth
where it is fast becoming AN actual
necessity, if we are to keep abreast of
the times. Nearly every city of the
size of Mankato, in the country, either
has an electric car line, or is making
arrangements to put such line in.
There are few cities of our size but
what are more compactly built, and
the very fact that we stretch out over
so much territory is only another
strong point in favor of an electric
line.
1t is also we'll known fact that in
the small cities an electric street rail
way, of itself, is seldom if ever pay
ing piece of property, though, never
theless, as much needed as though it
gave returns on the capital invested,
equal to the large cities, and it is &C
knowledged on all sides that street
railway of itself in this city would be
very poor investment, so poor in fact
that capital could not be induced to
60 into it, except in connection with
something else in the electric line.
This being fact which no one dis
putes, it is further acknowledged that
if the city votes bonds and puts in an
electric lighting plant of its own, it
cuts off for many years in the future
any chance for an electric street car
line in Mankato. Now the question
is, can the people of Mankato afford
this? We are told that the city will
reap certain advantages by having
plant of it's own, though no practical
proof has yet been adduced to show
that it would. But supposing the city
would save by plant of it's own,
which is extremely doubtful, would
the gain in this direction anywhere
near Offset the loss of advantages
which an electric car line would give?
This is question for the voters to
consider.
This is progressive age, and small
cities take on many metropolitan con-
ditions, and those with the greatest
natural resources and most advanced,
up to date facilities of every kind are
the ones which will attract people
from abroad who wish to invest capt.
tai in manufacturing or other pur-
suits.
There is no getting around the fact,
sQuirm and twist as one may, that
without electric street cars, Mankato
will soon be a back-number town. It
is fact not pleasant to contemplate,
and therefore one of the questions
which confronts the voters of this
city in the coming special election is,
whether the city shall have an cleo
trio light plant of it's own and so shut
out all chance of electric cars, and the
vast advantages to be gained there
from, for years to come, or turn the
whole matter over to the legitimate
field of private enterprise, and SO Sc
cure for the city all the modern adj
vantages in the electric field.

THE GOLDEN HARVEST.

Fair autumn spreads her fields OF gold
And waves her amber wand.
See earth its yellow charms unfold
Beneath her magic hand.
Unrivaled beauty decks the vale,
Bright fruitfulness the plains,
Gay health and cheerfulness prevail
And smiling glory reigns.
Beneath the sickle, smiling round
And in destruction fair,
The golden harvest strews the ground,
And shuts the labored year.
Man drops into refreshing rest.
And smooths his wearied brow,
With rural peace the herds are blest,
And nature smiles below.
To thee, great liberal source Of all,
We strike our earthly Tyre,
Till lite our rising soul shall call,
And angels from the choir.
The splendor that enchants our eyes
Reminds US of thy name,
The blessings that from earth arise
Thy generous hand proclaim.
The plenty round our meadows seen
Is emblem of thy love,
And harmony that binds the scene,
The peace that reigns above.

Upon the hill in golden summer days;
The fragrant winds sang TO the pines: the

Within the orchards dim the fruited boughs
Hung weighted with their own rich heavi.
ness,
And grapes gathering in their purple
globes
The warmth Of countless Of September suns
Until the season wanedl
dropt on shady streams
Were drifting warmly in the cold blue skies,
A white frost spirit took his silent path
Past field and fold, Ger fern clad rocks and
glens,
And tenderly, not roughly, laid his hand
Upon the merry brook,-and stilled their
songsl
Then through the silence passing wood and
void,
He crowned deserted nr,ts with silver rims.
Hung crystals on the naked boughs, and ltssed
The clinging vines until they blushed for
shamel
He saw a nation prosperous and at peace;
He saw the farmers barns piled high with
sheavcs
And plenty everywhere.

The Inst Strange Step I'm n Strange
Series of illegal Proceedings"

Some months ago near Richmond a
man Of many names, one or which Is
Parker, a member Of a syndicate OF pro-
fessional thieves, swindled a citizen Of
one of the eastern counties OF this State
out OF 5000 by what is known as the
'gold-brick game" He was arrested,
fully identified as a participant in the
crime, as well as in similar crimes In
other States. From the moment of his
arrest every effort was made to bail him
1t being a part Of the 'gold-brick game"
for the criminal. when caught, to give
bail, jump It,. and resume his rascalty
elsewhere. In this case 1t was shown
that the prisoner had given ball in other
States when caught in similar swindles,
and Jumped IT, At his trial his guilt was
SO plain that no witness was introduced
In his defence, and yet two men on the
jury hung 1t.
Then ensued remarkable series OF
illegal proceedings. A business ar
rangement' was made with a guarantee
company Of Richmond to furnish him bail
UP to the amount of $1,000 and his counsel
commenced hauling him around to various
county and hustings judges In the State
on habeas corpus-some four or five were
visited in all. With one exception they
refused him bail. and that exception was
a county Judge who held that the man
was entitled" to bail, and yet fixed II at
$50, 900. At last, last week, the mans coun-
sci took him before the County Judge OF
New Kent, who held his court In a ware
house. with the witnesseS spectators,
and counsel sitting on barrels and boxes.
He heard argument, decided that Parker
was entitled to bail. and fixed II at 5000.
The guarantee company promptly stepped
UP and entered as surety. At that mo-
ment a United States Deputy Marshal
arrested Parker on a warrant charging
him with personating United States
offlcer-an assayer-in the gold-brick
swindle. He was then a prisoner OF the
United States. and was taken back to
Richmond as such. On Monday morning
Judge Hughes, Of the United States Dis
trict Court, baiied the thief In the sum
Of 800, taking the prisoners own recog-
nizance for the sum-!
This Is probably the end Of a case which
will create considerable surprise among
the law-abiding people OF the State, and
which will excite an earnest desire for
some sort OF change In the Constitution,
the laws, or the judicial power under
which thief. with money TO employ
counsel and bear expenses, can steal
5000 and 20 free. while thief. with
neither. that steals s2S, goes to the peni-
Tertiary.
