THE ante-election talk of the sill
yer Democrats reminds US of a
good story applicable to the situa-
ton: An old farmer went into a
restaurant in a city and for the sake
of the novelty and variety, ordered
a meal of half-dozen frog-legs.
When he had finished his meal and
went to settle his bill, be was in
formed that the charge was $1.25.
The farmer protested that the
price of frog-legs was too high,
whereupon the restaurantor is-
formed him that they were a d ainty
and expensive dish and naturally
came high sWhy, said the far
mer, / have a whole pond full of
them on my place and can bring
you a whole wagon load of frogs at
cent per frog The proprietor
of the eating house readily agreed
to the proposition, wereupon the
farmer Immediately returned home
and proceeded to drain his pond in
order to catch the frogs. In about
week the farmer returned to the
city with three measley little frogs
in his hand. why, said the res
taurant keeper, 81 throught you
were going to bring me a wagon
load. "Well, l tel you how it is,
said the former. when l drained
my pond these were all the frogs
found, but from the noise they made
/ thouget there was at least two
wagon loads of them. = And so il
seems with the silver Democrats.
Before the election they claimed the
earth, but it turned out that they
got only small corner of it.

It il somewhat remarkable that
contracts entered into about six
years ago, and slightly enlarged four
years ago in response to public Ill
terests and public demand, should
now be such q grievance-after the
city greatly decreased it's expenses in
some lines, and greatly increased Its
valuation. The payment of water
power bond interest has been
avoided, and the time for the pay
ment Of taxes on mills and fact cries
has passed. Those large expenses
are no longer borne by the city, and
the fact that those expenses have
been decreased seems ground for a
demand that the light and water
contracts Ee annnlled. There
was no opposition to the
making Of the contracts that
supplied the city with water and
light plants when the first mentioned
burdens were in existence. but now
that the investments are made and
the city has less other established
expenses, the contracts are found to
be very detrimental.

The stockholders OF the German
American and Merchants National
bank of St. Cloud are considering
plans to consolidate, but there are
doubts of any agreement being
reached. Referring to the matter
the journal Press says: "Should
--he plan OF consolidation not become
effective, and there seems some
doubt as the consolidation of the
two banks being contaminated, the
present committee of German Ameri-
can stockholders will consider the
matter OF changing the bank from a
national institution into bank TO
be operated under the laws of the
state Of Minnesota. This would
probably involve the retirement OF
about one half of the present capital
stock. It is understood that the
majority Of stockholders favor this
plan" : ..s

We are not to blame for. We can
not be held responsible for the dis
positions and tendencies which we

from former generations. But we
are responsible II we allow these

eases which will impair our useful

We are responsible II we transmit to

4 The Mississippi be ow the dam il
ut present furnishing good sport to
Il large number OF fishermen, and
some very nice strings of pike have
been caught. Some mysterious
agency was at work among the
West side fishermen recently and
several stories were told of queer
happenings that occurred during the
night. One man had caught a fine
string OF pike and put them in a sack
and while they were right under his
eye they disappeared as If by magic.
The man VINO lost the fish is not in
the least superstitiOus, but as the
fish were on the bank near the
electric light plant, he attributes
their uncanny disappearan nee to some
electrical agency. Another West side
Walton, who had prepared an
artificial pond and stocked it, with a
choice lot OF the finny tribe was hor-
rified to find that his pond was empty
Of fish this morning. These stories
recall the polecat and rubber fish
deals that occurred in that locality
in former years.
