THE ORIGIN OF LEAP YEAR.

FL. p. Hall. in his observations in
the Minneapolis JOagHdt, which by the
way are always worth reading, in COM
mentiny upon leap year, says:
1.-THE fact that while no one born in
this century has failed TO find 3G6 days
on his calendar every four years, and
that we will now have TO wait eight
years after 1896 before we have another
protracted year. calls attention TO the
nice calculations upon which our time
calendars are based. Every one under
stands that night and day are caused
by the revolution of the earth upon
it's axis, and the seasons come from
the revolution Of the earth about the
sun. While the earth gets along very
well with itself, by lengthening and
shortening the days and nights, when
it comes to getting around the sun
the trouble begins. That journey re-
quires 365 days, 5 hours, As minutes
aud 46 seconds. Here is surplus of
time in 365 day year which, if con-
tinued long enough, would make a
business mans paper become due be-
fore he had given it. 1t was necessary,
therefore, to arise to the emergency,
and julius Caesar was the man for the
occasion. Time had gotten three
months out of whdck, and Julius
found that winter was coming in the
summer time, and something must be
done. By the aid of his servants he
nit upon the scheme Of making 3654
days year and, to handle the dis
agreeable fraction, made every fourth
year 366 days. In order to get fresh
start and begin square with the world.
he made one year of 445 days, and then
dropped to 365. julius died in the
serene belief that he had put time on
a permanent basis.
SIN the Fifteenth century Pope
Gregory found that the equinox au0
Easter were getting out Of place, ana
investigation showed that, in the
average year, there were rs seconds
more than the true year, which would
amount to day in Us years. or a
whole year in 1928 years. In 400 years
it would amonnt. substantially, to
three days. Pope Gregory, like Julius
Caesar, found it necessary to resort tn
heroic measures to make up for the
errors of the past and he accordingly
began life anew by suppressing 10 days
and declaring that. in the future, the
end of every century should be the
ordinary year of 365 days, unless it was
divisible by 400 And that is why
there will be no leap year in 1900, but
those Of us who chose to remain until
the census war between MINNEAPOLIS
and ST. Paul in 1000, will find a leap
year on our hands.

THE great coal kings have combined and
agree to restrict the output of anthracite to s.
100000 tons this year. The leading dealers have
promptly seconded the act by raising the price
of coal They want less coal and more money.
The consumer can easily see where he will come
in. Is such combination just and legal? Is
there no law and no officials who will enforce
the law as it is? 1t is reported that the present
combination has capital of $1.S62 .000O00 be
hind it, led by Morgan and the Vanderbilts. s.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Let us see! Was it not the Demo-
cratic party, that during the great
campaign it made to get int power,
claimed that once in power it would
make war upon the trusts until they
disappeared, and did it not promise
that it would drive them out of ex-
stence? And here we have informa-
tion that one of the greatest trusts in
the country is still putting the screws
TO the people for the purpose of
squeezing out more money. The Demo
Gratis have had control of affairs now
for about three years, but no move
has been made to knock out trusts, as
it promised it would do, if given
power. On the other hand some Of
the most intimate and powerful
friends of the administration have
been men who control some of the
greatest trusts Of the country.

MOVE FOR GOOD ROADS.
The lankato Century Club Starts
the Ball Rolling.

The Mankato Century Club held its
first meeting Of the year Saturday
night, With good attendance.
Several important matters were con-
sidered and acted upon. Probably
the most important was the subject
of improving the country roads, and
more especially those leading to this
city and main roads between villages.
1t was thought that the time is ripe
for general movement in this direc
tiOn, and as a first step it was pro-
posed to have convention of the road
supervisors from all parts of the cOun-
ty in this city before the spring work
on the farms opens up, to be address
ed by some recognized authority on
road making. To this end, it wa,
voted to invite the cooperation of the
Board of Trade and Commercial Ciub
in whatever is undertaken, joint com
mittees to be appointed. The menu
bers thought that all could get Or
common ground on this subject,
the benefits will fall upon the farm r
as well as the residents of this Cit,
and the villages of the county. Tn
subject of good roads is now receiv
ing attention all over the country
and practical results are being ac-
complished in many localities.
The following committee was ap
pointed Oh the part of the club: Geo.
NJ. Palmer, Dr. Andrews, A. G. Mat
ter.
Another subject considered wa
that of bicycle insurance. against
stealing, and it was the genera
opinion that a local company would be
fully as safe and perhaps no more cX
pensive than the general companies
1t was voted to send a circular lette'
to the leading bicycle riders of tie
city, and if the replies are favorab
definite action toward organizing .
company will be taken at the mex
meeting. 1t was thought thar fffy
to hundred responsible owners o.
wheels in the city would tee glad t.
20 into such an organization, and suci
number would insure it's success. A.
special efforts would be made To trac!
down thieves, il was thought tina:
this very fact would tend towaro
preventing theftS.
The club decided to hold it's regu!a
monthly meetings hereafter. Sons
routine business was transacted, an0
the club adjourned.

BECAUSE OF TIE PEOPLE.

The success of floating the new
bond issue belongs to the people. If
the cry had not gone up against the
scheme of giving the whole issue in
lump to the syndicate, bids would
never have been called for. But the
people objected to repetition of the
last deal in which few men got the
entire issue at their own figures, and
so sUrong was the sentiment that the
authorities did not dare resist IL.
But they had no faith in the result
when they called for bids. Not only
has it been an cye-opener for them;
but also for England. Immediately
following President Cleveland's Vene-
Zuela message when the attempt was
made in London TO diScredlt the
credit and securities of this country,
the prediction was freely made In
financial circles of that city that
this country could not float loan OF
100000. 600, and that not a dollar of
money in London would buy Ameri-
can bonds. La the face OF this threat
the proposed issue has been subscrib-
ed for six times over. Very convinc-
ing proof that this country is not the
slave OF the English tinanciers as is
alleged by the silver monometallists.
The confidence Of the people in the
government is not destroyed, badly
as it has been shaken by the Demo-
cratic policy and legislation. They
recognize the fact that the power OF
the free traders for harm has been
broken, and they have faith in the
future.

A GOOD WORK.

The success of the farmers insti-
tute held in this city Thursday and
Friday demonstrates the wisdomof the
Commercial club in the move it made
in inviting it to be held here. The
vast out-pOuring of farmers, shows
the interest they are taking IN the
movement on the part Of the state to
improve the methods of farming
within it's borders Blue Earth
county, as we'll as that large section of
territory tributary to Mankato, which
lies north of the Minnesota river,
has for years followed diversified farm
ing to a greater or less extent with
splendid results which can be noted
in their increased prosperity. But
they are alive to their best interests
and are perfectly aware of the fact that
there is yet room for a vast improve
ment. hence the great attendance
yesterday and today.
Supt. Gregg, in his opening remarks
Thurs day happily said, in noting the
efforts OF the Commercial club in Sc
curing this institute, that it was
pleasant when commerce and agrl-
culture could thus work together
This is true. Their interests ar
closely allied in many respects and
they should always pull together
rather than apart.
Nothing that the Commercial club
has taken hold Of will result in more
lasting good to the city, though much
Of il may be Of al Indirect nature.
than the work for this gathering, and
the farmers have shown their appre-
citation OF it ia a most hearty manner.
1t is a work which will do mucs
toward building up more of frater-
nal spirit between the city and
country, a spirit which ought every
where 20 exist, but too many times
does not.
While Mankato has much in the
way of manufacturing and is holding
out every encouragement for it's eX-
tension, her prosperity also depends
TO large extent upon the prospert,
OF the adjacent farming community.
And in more emphatically emphasiz-
ing this fact, the Commercial club has
lnaugurated move which demands
not only the attention but the earn
estsympathy and aid of every CITIZEN.

NOT ENDORSED REPUBLICANS

For nearly year the Republican press of
the country has been damning the Democratic
administration for issuing bonds. These same
fellows are now damning the silver senators for
not making such bond issues easier for poor
perplexed Mr.. Cleveland. All of which shows
the difference between a Republican and
Democrat of the gold persuasion.-St James
Journal.
This is somewhat of a miSrepresen-
tation of facts. The Republicans
have not endorsed in any manner
whatever, the bond issues of the pres
ent administration, nor do they ap-
prove of such issues in time of peace.
But the free trade policy of the Dem
''cfacy has placed the government in
Such a condition that it is Obliged to
BORROW money TO protect itself and
help pay its running expenses. The
Republicans have simply taken bus
ness view of the situation, and be-
