Last spring notice was made in these
columns that Mr.. Henry A Salzer, OF
the John A. Salzer Seed Co, La Crosse.
Wis, Americas leading Seed Growers
and Merchants, was in Europe in search
of rare seeds and novelties for the
American farmer and citizen.
Judging from their new catalogue, his
trip was an eminently successful one.
1t is brim full of rare things. OF es-
pecial merit we name the Bismarck
Apple. bearing the second year; the
Giant Towering Star Phlox, the Ger
man Coffee Berry; and for the farmer
the Victoria Rape, Germanica Vetch,
the Lathyrus si1vestris, the Giant Spur
~ and Giant Incarnate Clover; SAGA
line, and dozens of other rare things.
This wide-awake firm is in the van,
and their catalogue, which is sent you
for cents postage, would be cheap at

the state. but the above projects
all seem certain Of compile
ton in 1896. So much work in
that line has not seemed probable
for many years in Minnesota.
Considering the new era of rail
road building that has certainly
begun, it seems entirely reason
able to hope that successful efforts
may be made to get another line
to Little Falls. No other city in
Mimi esota that furnishes half the
shipping business that Little Falls
does has it's transportation facili'
ties limited to those supplied by
one railroad. 1t is not Il natural
condition for this to continue
much longer, and the hope that it
would not continue certainly has
firm foundation.
In other respects the North
west promises to have a busy year
in 1896, but the two lines Of de-
velopmcnt mentioned are beyond
question full of promise for Min
uesOta in that wear.

who choose to still support him
because they sympathize with his

their support of him, that they are

by his own shifting and changeable
course, a general belief that he is
not entirely reliable on public
questions. They may be in hearty
accord with his financial views,
but they cannot honestly endorse
his conduct before the people up
to the present time.

TOWNE'S ATTITUDES.

| Recently the Anoka Herald ex'
pressed admiration for Congress-
man Towne's "fearless attitude
on the financial question, and the
Transcript made inquiry as to
which one of his attitudes was re.
ferrred to; the one which Towne
assumed before his election, when
he declared the proposition for the
United States to adopt free silver
coinage at Is to 1 independently
of European nations was Financial
lunacy," or the attitude he as
sumed few months after election
that free silver coinage at Is to l
should be adopted by the United
States even if the leading CONNER
tial nations of the world did not
do 50.
Tho Anoka Herald takes the
query Of the Transcript as another
indication that this paper will not
treat Mr.. Townefair]y. Neither
Congressman Towne nor any other
public man has a right to expect
that he can suddenly change his
position on any important princi-
pie, and thatsmea or papers of any
firm convictions should promptly
follow his cratic and shifting
course. It is not personal mat.
ter, as the Herald would attempt
to make it; but Towne's present
position is a surprise and dissa-
pointment to as loyal friends as he
had from the start Of his campaign,
throughout his campaign, upon
election day, and up to the time
that he deserted the position he
voluntarily assumed OH the finan-
cial question, and maintained up
to a considerable time after the
election. The Republicans of
Morrison county did their best to
advance Mr.. Tewne's interests at
all times, but they emphatically
protest against his late position
on the silver question. The in
fluential position he occupies in
public affairs makes the dissapoint.
ment and dissatisfaction all the
greater. It was believed, when he
was elected last fall, that this sec.
ton of the state had chosen a man
of ability and firm principles, and
that he would for many years be
an acceptable and trustworthy
public servant. No community
was more pleased over his election
than Little Falls and Morrison
county. Had he continued to ad-
vocate the principles he did before
his election the Republicans Of
this county would have been
pleased to continue their support
Of Mr.. Towne. As the matter now
stands they will certainly protest
against his denomination. They
believe they are fully justified in
doing so, and the sentiment is
prompted wholly by their regard
for what is best for the Republican
party and for the nation.
While what other sections of
the district will do will certainly
be of great interest to the Repub-
llcans of Morrison county, it will
not, we feel safe in saying, in
auence the Republicans of Morri-
son county to do less than oppose
the selection Of Mr.. Towne as the
Republican nominee. While it
would be pleasant to remain on
friendly terms with the represent
alive in congress, it would be
sacrificing the welfare of the Re-
publican party to do so. Individ-
uals might find it to their advant-
age to follow misguided leader,
