Secretary OF Agriculture VIII Dis
pcnse Seeds In Future


pcnSe Seeds In Future.
Washington. Feb 1.-THE senate TO-
DAY passed bill giving the city OF
charleston, $. C., tho use OF the old
postotiice building for municipal pur-
poses
Senator ouay's resolution TO recon-
init the tarin bill went over
The long pending resolution which
has brought out much criticism
OF the secretary OF agriculture was
passed without division. The measure
was amended so ms to provide that the
purchase and distribution Of seeds shall
proceed AS heretofore.
Mr.. blanchard Oem.. La) was then
recognized for speech on the Monroe
doctrine.
The senator strongly commended the
president for the reassertion on an en-
larged basis OF the Monroe doctrine
and advocated that II be given the
sanction of legislative Enforcement.
He said the time had come for such
declaration by congress bold
and comprehensive; not made In anger
or menaclng, but firm. Tho senator's
speech while bold and firm was In
good temper and evinced spirit OF
kindred, friendship and peace towards
England
Mr.. Allen pop, Neb) replied briefly
to Mr.. Vests criticisms or the secre-
tnry OF agriculture. Mr.. Allen contend
ed that any unusual allowance OF seed
made by the secretary to Nebraska was
due to drought there "
A discussion u Secretary Carlisle's
observance of civil service methods
came up on n provision of deficiency OF
the appropriation bill on the appoint
ment of twenty-five expert money
counters
AIR. Chandler sarcastically pointed
out that the senretary's letter request
inp the counters asked that he be
given the selection. as the civil service
commission was not able to furnish
the class OF counters desired. II was
thus discovered, said Mr.. Chandler.
that the civil service commission had
broken down and was 80 feeble and
dilapidated that II could not furnish
money counters.
Mr.. Lodge (Rep.. Mass) said there
was no decrepitude In the civil SER
vice commission. This request of the
secretary was due to his desire to con-
troll the appointments.
Mr. Allen arrnigncd the civil service
system. II would in time turn our
government service over to lot of
Cigarette smoking dudes"
Mr. Walcott interjected brief but
somewhat sensational speech. He said
the real menace to the country was
the power of patronage lodged with

as under the present administration.
A free .oinage bill would have pass

patronage been brought to bear by the
administration. especially The patron

SURPLUS OF STEAM.

Too much steam was turned on in
rear room of the public library
Monday, and as a consequence a
portion of the radiator blew out
This radiator was undergoing repairs,
and as it was known to be weak, the
steam had been turned off temporar-
lily. 1t was turned on this morning
without the knowledge of the library
officials. The room was filled with
steam, and the hot water ran through
the floor to the Mccormick office be-
low, and from there through the floor
into the basement. No particular
damage was done to the building or
stock, and none of the books or PAM
phlets in the library were injured. 1t
is claimed that the indicator at the
city hall heating plant, which sup
plies steam for the library, showed a
pressure of eighteen pounds.

THE PACKING HOUSE.
Will Be Started by Jan. Ist, If Suf-
ficient Stock is Taken.

Mr.. j. M. Neal states that if the
balance of the stock in the new pack
ing house company is taken, the
plant will be put in operation by Jan.
1st. A buyer would be placed on
the streets and all the hogs offered
would be taken. In order that the
farmers would be assured chat honest
weights would be given, it is likely
that the plan followed at Davenport
of Offering reward of $500 to any
person proving that incorrect weights
are given would be followed here,
The factory would endeavOr to have
all the hogs within large radius of
Mankato marketed here, and this
would be a great advantage to our
merchants.
The business men of the city should
turn out to the meeting tonight at
the Commercial club rooms, and show
a live interest in this matter. They
should encourage the move by their
presence and suggestions whether
they are prepared to take any stock
in the new company or not. This lat
ter is not at all essential in order to
attend the meeting.

quired votes to carry the states lnvol-
we'd over to silver. When it comes to
this matter Of specializing on the
change and proper distribution OF
votes, how would it have been had
the large Republican majority been
little more evenly distributed?
There are number of Bryan states
that would have been swamped as a
result. But anything of that nature
is simply idle speculation. But the
Minneapolis Journal gives a few fig
ures in connection with the result OF
the election, compiled by Hon. w. R.
Moore, of Memphis, that are well to
keep in mind and which add emphasis
to the result. The Journal says;
Mckinley carried twenty-three
states while his antagonist carried
twenty-five. The Mckinley states
have population Of 44,O00,OOO, the
Bryan states a population of 70, 200, 900.
The assessed property valuation OF che
Mckinley states is S2l ,O00,O 900, 900, of
the Bryan states 81, 800, 100000. The
Mckinley states employ about 4,OOO,-
900 working men, the Bryan states
$4,000. In the Mckinley states 81
600, 900, 900 are annually paid in wages;
the Bryan states pay 1915, 900, 900. The
proportion of illiteracy in the McKln-
ley states averages per cent and IN
the Bryan states Is per cent OF the
population.
These are few figures worth keep
ing in mind when you hear the Bryan
ties bOasting about what they are 60
ing to do in 1900. Summed up, it
means that the Mckinley states re-
present 10 per cent of the country's
population, 80 per cent Of it's assessed
property valuation, s. per cent of its
workingmen and more than 95 per
cent of the annual wages paid, and,
perhaps, more significant than all
four times as much of the intelligence
of the country as that of the Bryan
states. This illiteracy is, of course,
the contribution of the south to the
Bryan cause, and is one of the misfor-
tunes of the alliance OF much OF the
extreme west with that comparative
ly unprogressive section.
Do you see much hope In these
facts for the triumph Of the Bryan
cause in 1900.

THAT FOOT BRIDGE.

The ST. Peter Tribune this week eX-
hibits streak of petty opposition TO
the proposition that Belgrade appro-
priate three or four hundred dollars
toward the construction of a foot
bridge across the Minnesota river, land
it's objections are simply the outpour-
jngs of iealously against Mankato.
Here is one of the sentences found
in the Tribune: "Mankato is satisfied
to gobble the trade Of North Mankato,
but it is not willing to construct a
foot bridge for its citizens" Well,
dear Tribune, the city of Mankato and
the county of Blue Earth will con-
tribute 81, 900 toward the walk, and it
is expected that the structure can he
put up for 81, 3O0-leaving only $500
for the people of North Mankato to
furnish. This is altogether liberal on
the part of this side OF the river, and
is so considered by the people of North
Mankato. Of course MankatO is will
ing to "gobble" the trade of North
Mankato. Why shouldn't it be? The
people over there can't go anywhere
else to trade, and wouldn't if they
could, for they can buystheir necessl-
ties and luxuries cheaper here than at
any other point in Southern Mime
sofa. If St. Peter would do little
more "gobbling" and less kicking" it
would feel more kindly disposed
toward mankind in general and Man
kato in particular. 1t is now nearing
the first of the new year when it is in
order to make new resolves, and we
respectfully suggest that our neigh
bors down the river quit growing
about Mankato and do little active
work toward building up their own
city. The effort will no doubt be
somewhat awkward sat first, but If
persisted in may be at least partially
accomplished. At least the sugges-
tion is worth trying.

IT is said that Spain is again max
ing move to give Cuba home rule.
The home rule which Spain deals in
is in favor of Spain and against those
for whom it is supposed to favor, and
will hardly be acceptable to the Cub
ans. Cuba will look with suspicion
upon any home rule measure that
may be proposed, after the experience
she has had. Spain has not been
noted for keeping her promises in the
past, and will hardly be trusted
again.

FORr1ER RESIDENT DEAD.

Chief Yates received telegram to-
day announcing the death of his uncle,
home in ST. Paul last evening. Mr..
Thorne was stricken with paralysis
last Tuesday, and this caused his
death. He settled in Lake Crystal,
this county, in 1856, and afterwards
moved to Mankato, residing here for
many years. From here he went to
ST. Paul. He was over go years of age
and leaves wife and three children
He was highly respected. 1t has not
been decided whether the funeral
will be held at ST. Paul or this city.

A Remarkable Freezing Mixture.

A majority of readers know that a
mixture of two parts of pounded ice
and one part of common salt will reduce
the temperature of anything inclosed SO
as to be wholly surrounded by the mix
ture (say milk can in an ice cream
freezer), to a point SO degrees below
that at which water freezes. There are
but few readers, however, that know of
the remarkable properties of mixture
of chloride of lime and ice. A mixture
of three parts of crystallized chloride
of lime and two parts of ice forms a
combination that will freeze mercury in
seven minutes. ST. Louis Republic.

One of the favorite pasttimes of
the Popocrats is in specializing how
the change of issue $4,000 or 10000
votes distributed through certain
srates would have elected Bryan.
And taking this idle speculation as
a basis they theorize on how the late
election was not much of a landslide
after ALL But the votes were not
changed, and as the trend in
the states they name was
from free coinage toward sound mon
ey, it would have been an easier mat
ter to have made the vote larger for
sound money than to change the re-

HELPING CUBA.

The death of Maceo, which seems
10 have been accomplished by assas-
sination, has stirred up the entire
country and from every quarter has
come reports that work of getting re-
eruits to go to Cuba is going on and
large numbers are signifying their
desire to go to the island and fight for
its independence from Spain. What
the outcome of this will be is hard to
tell. There is no question but that a
number of thousand of men could
easily be secured to 60 to Cuba if the
government of this country did moth
ing to prevent. But it is reported
from Washington that this work of
recruiting is against the laws of the
United States and those who are par
ticipating in it are likely to get them
selves into trouble. Our laws do not
allow the citizens of this country to
openly engage in war with friendly
power. But if the men who have eX-
pressed themselves as willing to go to
Cuba, could 60 there, and well armed
it would be serious thing for Spain.
A few Thousand men well chosen and
we'll armed with modern imple-
ments of war would cause great havoc
among the Spaniards, and the con-
tinuance of Spanish control in Cuba
would be simply question OF short
time. Gen. Weyler has referred in
somewhat contemptuous terms to the
Cuban army, and yet the mob Of in
surgents which he says is poorly arm
ed, poorly organized, more or less dis
heartened and lacking discipline, has
succeeded in holding 100000 Spanish
troops at bay, and doing pretty much
as they pleased with the island out
side of few fortified seaports. A
few thousand we'll disciplined men
would make things pretty lively for
she Spanish butchers.
But it is not probable that the fact
that recruiting in this country is
against the law, will stop more or less
Americans from going to Cuba to
tight for her liberty, or help to quell
the war spirit which the tragic death
of MaceO has aroused in this country
The feeling is everywhere growing
stronger that the time is at hand
when something must be done to
stop the barbarities upon the island
and if the present administra-
tion does not take the step, doubtless
the Mckinley administration very
soon will.
