The Comte d'Haussonville took his dis
nlissal very quietly, being too eminent 4
historian not to be ava re thai the Bourbons
in general and the Orleanist branch OF the
house in particular have ever been conspicu-
ous for the basest ing ratitGde. But he bidcd
his time, and a few weeks ago commenced
in one of the Partisan reviews a record OF his
political relations with the Conite de Pa ris.
including n number of confidential letie rs
addressed to him by the latter.
These letters, in the first place, show
that the Comte de Paris was wont scaddress
many OF his political manifestoes, as pre-
tender, from Windsor Castle, awaiting
himself OF each of his triannual visits to
Queen Victoria to DO so; and they likewise
contain some very uncomplimentary ref
erences toward the De Luynes, the ID 'Uzes.
the De Noailles and other leading French
mobiles, who t the time were devoting their
time, their money, and all their energies
to promote his cause in Paris. imperiling
thereby their own interests, since the gov
ernment could at any time have prosecuted
and driven them into exiie-nay even have
imprisoned them on the ground of treason.

MINNESOTA was honored, and the
press gang in particular, by the elec-
tion of M. ]. Bowling, of the Renville
Star-FaImaer, as secretary of the ma
tional Republican League yesterday
morning. His name was not suggested
for the position until early in the
evening before, when meeting of the
delegation from this state was called,
and it was decided to do some hustling
and see if the position could not be Sc
cured And hustling was done to good
effect, so that when the vote was
taken in the convention yesterday
morning, Mr.. Bowling came within
thirty votes of enough to elect him,
and changes were Immediately made
sufficient to elect him. The conven-
tion made good selection. Mr..
Bowling is well qualified for the posi-
tion, and his election will be especially
pleasing to the Republicans of Min
nesota.

MANKATO AND THE CENSUS.

There is a singular lack of interest
displayed in the census matter in this
city which is hard to account for
Mankato has enjoyed a most prosper
Gus period since 1890. AT that time
the city had within 1.200 of 10000
population, and with the evidences OF
growth on every hand it would seem
that the census this year ought to
show nearer 1000 than 10000, yet
there seems to be feeling prevalent,
that we will barely exceed the 10000
mark, even if we are lucky enough in
the count to reach it. During the
past five years there have been ac-
cording to official records about 1000
births in the city, and about 6OO
deaths. This leaves natural increase
to our population of nearly, If not
quite, 900, or more than two-thirds
the difference which existed in 1891
between our population anG the 10000
mark. Then there are many other
evidences of our continued growth.
There have been from $50 to 800 resi-
dences erected here within the past
five years, which are occupied, and
there are no empty houses in the city
at present. Then the new directory,
the poll list, and the school enroll
ment, all tell the same story OF our
growth, going to show that we have at
least II, 900, if not greater number.
With all of these evidences of growth
there ought not to be any apprehen-
sion that our population will fall be-
low II, 900, and if everybody within
the city is counted, we do not believe
it will. But there ought to be more
interest displayed in the matter then
there has been so far. Every person
ought to make himself committee
of one to see that so far as he knows
full count has been made. If the CEN
Sus enumeration has not called at your
house yet take steps to see what the
reason is, and so get yourself and
family enrolled on his list. If you
know of parties who are temporarily |
out of the city, call the attention of
the enumerator of the ward in which |
they live to the fact, so that he may |
be sure not to miss them. 1t would |
doubtless be a good scheme for the
board of trade committee and the
enumerators of the city to hold con-
ference and talk the matter over and
see what has or can be done to secure
a full and accurate count of our popu-
latiOn.
There will no harm come from stir
ring up little interest in the matter.
We do not want to be credited with
greater population than we actually
have, but we do want every person
counted, who makes his or her home
within our limits, and every help pos
sible should be given the enumerators
to this end.

SPEAKING of prices and products
the Minneapolis Tribune says: SIN the
Great Northern wheat case before
Judge Kerr, in ST. Paul, Mr.. fuller,
prominent Polk county farmer, tes-
titled, among other things, that in
1882 the price of a self-binding reaper
was 1915; now it is 1925. Now, in 1882
the average price of wheat was SO
cents per bushel. 1t would thus have
taken 324 bushels of wheat to buy a
Self-binding reaper. This year, TAX
ing the highest and lowest prices at
Chicago, the average price of wheat
is g. cents, and it would take only
1877 bushels of wheat to buy such a
machine. The difference in favor of
the farmer this year: as compared
with 1882, in that transaction is 157
bushels Of wheat. That is to say, he
can buy certain indispensable piece
of machinery now for only about half
the number of bushels of wheat that
would have been demanded for the
same article thirteen years ago. The
farm price of wheat in both instances
would have been somewhat less than
the figures given, but the proportion
is substantially the same" The pur-
chasing power of bushel of wheat
has increased in numberless other
directions as we'll, so that the farmer
has not suffered to the extent that is
often pictured in the decrease of the
price of wheat.

Would Like to See Davis Pre- siden

Window Reporter:
In an interview in Washington.
National Committeeman Evans of
this state gave positive expression to
the opinion that 9. X. Davis would be
the choice of the Minnesota Republi-
cans for the presidency. The Repub-
licans of this state have the utmost
regard for Senator Davis, and the Re-
porter hopes that nothing will step in
to prevent this state from giving him
not only solid delegation, but a
lighting one, in the next convention.
He was the most fearless man in the
senate at the time of the Debs rebel
lion, and not until he spoke was there
a man who dared to lift his voice
against the insurrection. Senator
Davis sounded the key note and then
others were willing to follow, even
the president himself. They NAV
have been right at heart but they
hadn't the courage of their convic-
tions. Davis had, and whether he is
the presidential candidate or not the
Republicans of Minnesota are not 60
ing to be alone in the hope to see him
succeed.

The Luverne Herald speaking of
the untaxed railroad lands of the
state says: According to the data
which the Herald has at hand there
are about 100000 acres of unused and
untaxed railroad lands in the state.
The revenue which the state would
derive from these lands if they were
taxed like other lands, would amount
to about 100000 per year. Add to
this the taxes for county, school, road
and township purposes, and we may
get some idea of what the railroads
save by the exemption they enjoy and
what the people would gain under the
operation of the Anderson law"

TAYLOR, the defaulting treasurer
of South Dakota, says his conscience
is clear. Harry Hayward has ex-
pressed himself much the same way.
In fact there is hardly great crimi-
nal but what processes to be perfectly
at ease in this respect. Either they
are adopts in shamming, or else the
finer sensibilities of the man are so
blunted that they have lost all power
to distinguish between right and
wrong, which is hard to believe. If
after using the money of the state of
South Dakota as though it were his
own, and standing before the world a
self-confessed embezzler. Taylor can
declare that his conscience is perfectly
at ease on the subject, he is more
hardened criminal than people have
been led to suspect, and deserves not
in the least any Of the sympathy
which has been expressed for him.

JAPAN will receive SSO,OOO,OO0 from
China for retiring from Manchuria
and Port Arthur. This will go long
way toward healing Japan's humilia-
tion of being forced to give up some
of the fruits of her victory over China
1t will also build quite a number of
war vessels, for which it is to be used.
In taking a hand in this matter,
Russia may have built for itself
future trouble.

THE st. Paul Globe thinks that the
refusal of the Republican League
convention at Cleveland to adopt a
definite platform is sure sign that
the Republican party is hopelessly
split on the silver question. In this
the wish is evidently father to the
thought. Democracy would have
liked nothing better than to have had
the convention broken up in row,
and has done all it possibly could to
bring about just such state of
things, and is consequently much dis
appointed to see nothing of the kind
happen. The League is forbidden by
it's constitution from marking out any
new work for the party in platform,
or from in any way attempting to die
tate to the national convention of the
party any particular position to take,
therefore it would have been very I'M
wise for it to have attempted to make

Whether this is true or not Menage

Douglas Holds His Hat.
Reaching the platform, his discom-
fort was visibly increased by not knowing
what to do with hat and cane, and so he
stood there, the target for 10000 eyes,
holding cane in one hand and hat in
the other, the very picture of helpless
embarrassment. After some hesitation
he pushed the cane into corner of the
railing, but could not find place for
the hat except on the floor, where [
could see he did not like to risk it.
Douglas, who fully took in the situa-
tion, came to the rescue of his old
friend and rival and held the precious
hat until the owner needed it again, a
service which, if predicted two years
before, would probably have astonished
him.
''The oath of Office was administered
by Chief Justice fancy, whose black
robes, attenuated figure and cadaverous
countenance reminded me of galva
nized corpse. Then the president came
forward and read his inaugural address
in clear and distinct voice. 1t was at
tentively listened to by all, but the
closest listener was Douglas, who leaned
forward as if to catch every word, nod
ding his head emphatically at those
passages which most pleased him.
There was some applause, not very much
nor very enthusiastic.
