Old Pease of the Anoka Union shed
several bottles of tears after the COM
mission had refused to locate the
Fourth hospital at Anoka, where he
could visit it easily. After the COM
missioners reconsidered the vote and
located the hospital at Anoka Pease
made up for the loss of the tears by
causing the contents of several bottles
of bubbling yellow label to disappear
down his throat. Gov. Clough at one
time represented Pease's district in
the Senate and we wondered whether
the old mans tears wouldn't move the
Governor into changing the vote of
the fourth commissioner to vote for
Anoka.

the land of that Republic. VENEZUELA
sends a couple million dollars more

painful to almost every resident of the
county and strikes the poorer classes
in disastrous manner during these
hard times.
For many years now the tax rate
has been constantly increasing. Dur
ing the brighter years or years of
good feeling and progress the people
were in position to bear the burden
without uttering great deal of COM
plant. During the past two years,to-
gether with the coming year, the peo-
pie have been compelled to strain
their purses, drain their sources of
living, for the purpose Of meeting the
taxes imposed upon them. This year
it will be very hard upon them be-
cause they have been taxed to their
utmost capacity during the past two
years and this year they are being
taxed more than ever.
In all of the counties surrounding
Redwood, where personal property
tax lists have been published by the
press we notice that the taxes are
much lower than here. Certainly,
Redwood county should not allow sur
rounding counties to offer lower tax
rate to new settlers than what it does
itself.
Next year the commissioners will
have to meet the railroad bonds
amounting to $4,000. In all proba-
bilities the bonds will have to be re-
funded. But the commissioners
should arrange for a sinking fund
whereby the bonds will not remain
outstanding for any great length of
time.
Here in the city the tax rate is high
or than in the country. This is due
to water works and sewer system inn
provements. The city also has $4,000
railroad bonds to take care of next
year. The council should at once
commence studying these questions
with the view of relieving the burdens
of the people at the present time.

There is something peculiar about
the reports that come from Cuba rel
alive to the revolt from Spanish dom
ination. The reports from Havana,
edited by the Spanish General Cam
pos, are to the effect that the insurg-
ents are being constantly whipped,
while the reports from other Cuban
ports, apparently from reliable cores
pondents, repeatedly tell of victories
for the Cuban patriots. These latter
reports are confirmed by admissions
sent out from Havana that the armies
of Gomez and Maceo are within sc
miles of Havana, and appear to be
moving on the capital.
Victory for the patriots is but the
prayer of every liberty loving living
soul! Victory for every people seek
ing release from tyrannical oppression
is but the prayer of every true Ameri.
can heart!

The relocation of the fourth hospi-
tai for the insane at Anoka, after the
commission by vote of to 3 had de-
cided to locate it at Hastings, is not a
creditable action. The commissioner
who changed his vote from Hastings
to Anoka, after Hastings had been Sc
lected, is unworthy of holding any
public office, elective or appointive.
