EARLY CARS VERY POPULAR.

The early morning cars that were re- gently put on by the Birmingham Rail- way and Electric company have been found to be a great convenience by the citizens of Avondale and the Highlands. Especially during the travel to the Att lanta exposition have these early cars been found to be great boon. The sub- urbanites can catch the early trains with out having to walk or pay hack hire.

LET ALL PULL TOGETHER.

Mr.. H P Christensen was entirely
right last night, when he said at the
Commercial Club meeting that Man
kato would be greatly benefited If it
could secure the location of fifty
small factories, which might employ
but a few men each. 1t is the duty
of every citizen to do everything pos
Sible to secure the location Of facto-
ries in our midst and so enlarge our
dinner pail brigade and it is to be
hoped that the effort of the CONNER
cial club to secure aguarantee on the
part of our citizens for the providing
of suitable building for the Baker
Plaster Co. will meet with the sue
CESS it deserves. 1t should be dis
tinctly understood that this guarantee
is not in the shape of bonus, but
whatever of the amount is paid in,
will doubtless be refunded at the end
Of the year, as the rent will cover
about One-half the cost of the building
ana III was SUaCed LnaJ a guarantee
could be secured to take the building
off their hands at the end of the year
for the difference between the rent
and the cost, providing that the Bak-
er Plaster Co. should from any cause
see fit to discontinue the business at
that time here. But the danger on
this score seems very remote. Their
business is an established one, and is
beyond the experiment stage. The
main object is to secure the proper in.
berest On the part of our people in the
project. This ought to be an easy
matter as it is chance to secure ar
important industry in our city al
practically no risk.

THE ADVANCE OF ELECTRICITY.

The question of operating railways
by electricity is said to be engaging
the attention of the management or
many lines just at present and II a
practical scheme can be devised. 1T
would not be at all surprising ii be-
fore many years, it's use as motlve
power on our railway lines will be
quite general. And in this connec-
tion there is every reason to believe
that the use of electricity is bound to
revolutionize civilization to greater
extent than did steam. 1t has been
said that the question of good roads
has it's worst enemy in subtle cleo
tricity. A writer of late magazine
article holds that the scheme of those
who wish to enter upon a plan OF
building good roads throughout the
country will never be carried out,
and puts forth as his reason for this
prediction, the idea that it will be
but few years before electric lines
will be run along all the principal
highways through the country con-
Meeting the small cities and villages,
thus doing away with the necessity
of road improvement, except to a
more limited extent on the cross
roads leading to the electric lines.
He maintains that these lines Will
transport the farmers produce TO
market cheaper than he can do it him.
self. 1t is also maintained that an
electric line can be built cheaper
than a tirSt-claSS road bed, such as is
needed can be, and that it will in the
end prove more serviceable, and will
have a tendency to eliminate many
of the objections to country life, IN
that it will serve to bring the peo-
ple closer together and make them
more neighborly, when they can
traverse a few miles in few minutes.
There is doubtless much in this
view. And already in the east cities
and villages are being connected by
electric lines which are proving OF
great benefit to farmers along their
line, and the patronage from the
farmers is said to be constantly in
creasing. With the improvements
which are being constantly made In
electrical machinery by which oper-
atoms conducted through electricity
are being greatly cheapened, it
would not be surprising but that the
idea of the writer referred to would
be realized long before the country
would be educated to point that it
will commence to build solid road
beds along country highways. The
building and successful operating of
such lines within the next generation,
would be no more surprising than the
advance which has been made during
she past generation.

THE EDITORS MEETING.

The meeting of the Southwestern
Minnesota Editorial Assassination,
held in the beautiful and thriving
little city of Madelia yesterday was
one of the most delightfully."- pleasant
gatherings in the history of the organ
ization. The delegates from the east
and west were met at the station by
prominent citizens and escorted to
the hotel where dinner was served.
In the afternoon the new and beauti-
full school building was visited in a
body, where Ex-Mayor Eustis, Lieut.
Gov. Day and j. A. Johnson grated
much to the edification of the young
folks who filled in the time between
periods by sticking pins into each
other. The remainder of the after
noon was filled in at the Opera House
where royal welcome was extended
by Mayor Benton, responded to under
cover of his most resplendent and be-
witching smile by the Senator from
Martin county, the Honorable Frank
Adonis Day. A little more time was
occupied by some in impromptu re-
marks, notably by Col. G. J. Monfort,
of the Windsor Rotel, St. Paul, editor
of the Missing Link" who, while ab-
sent in person, was represented by
proxy in the person of HI. P. Hall and
box of fragrant Havana's. The
Colonels remarks (by proxy were
we'll received as so also were the
cigars.
For supper, the party was divided
up into twos and threes and enter
tanned at the homes of citizens, where
all were made to feel at home and
permitted to feast upon an abundance
of good things.
At 7 o'clock in the evening the
regular program of the association
was opened in the opera house,
which was filed to overlooking with
editors and Madelia citizens. Some
excellent papers were read, splendid
musical program rehearsed, and the
evening delightfully."- passed until $3.50
when an adjournment to the banquet
hall of the Flandreau hotel was had.
1t is eminently proper to state that
the feast of good things here found
reflected much credit upon the
hostelry and was great credit to the
hospitality of Medelia citizens. AT
1870 o'clock the toasts following the
banquet were responded to in the
opera house where, despite the late.

of a two thousand candle power

their flights of oratory snatched the

eloquence with a carelessness border

Such were some of the things to
which the people of Medelia were
treated by the association over which
John King, of the Adrian Democrat
presided, and it is not much wonder
that John and his young bride of six
months quietly stole away at the
dead of night and sought the quiet
of their rural home in Mobiles county.

A RECENT number of the London
Times, says the st. Louis Clio be
Democrat, has an article on the occu-
pations Of the people of England and
Wales which is conclusive as to the
decline Of agriculture as a British in
dustry. The number of men engaged
in farming declined from 225, $50 in
1871 to 2Ol ,918 in 1891. During this
period the increase in the whole popu-
lation was nearly 100000. Lawyers
and doctors are increasing slowly and
teachers much more rapidly. Artists
fell off little, but authors, editors
and journalists doubled their ranks
Music in England is looking up de-
cidedly, for the $4,000 musicians and
music masters of 1871, had grown to
$4,000 in 1891. The bicycle industry
employed only II persons in 1871, and
over l 900 in 1891. Female servants
in 1891 numbered one-eleventh of the
sex. Perhaps the most remarkable
fact is the decline of nearly so per
cent in the number of liquor sellers in
proportion to the whole population.
The Times says this is clear evidence
that 1.-The tendency to the abuse of
strong drink is being undermined by
the various forces which make for
civilization"
