A Plan to Which Objection was Made

Cash.
A few months ago the method of
paying the employees at Rock Island
arsenal in cash was abolished and
a check system adopted in place.
The result was some dissatisfaction.

men, but by some of Rock Islands
merchants. as the men reached the
centers of trade after the closing of
the banks on the days of receiving
their pay, and hence the presenta-

able outlay OF cash by the business
men which was not confined to the
exchange for purchases absolutely,
but in many instances as an accom-
mediation to arsenal employees who
we're not making purchases. The
consequence was that certain of our
business men wrote the war depart

Optional With the Men,

The department made the matter
entirely optional with the men. and
they were notified that the prefer
ences of the majority of them would
be adhered to. The men as whole
seemed pleased with this and from
the expressions of many ,of them it
seemed altogether likely that there
would be strong preponderance of
sentiment favorable to the return of
the cash system. But when the vote
was taken it revealed a surprise, for
the majority was overwhelmingly in
favor of the continuance of the check,
and hence the men will be SO com.
pensated hereafter.

rhe 1runicipal Court.

The charges against the judge OF the
municipal court OF the citv Of Sauk Gen.
tire. made by the city council under an
assumed authority, and without the APP
prevail Of the mayor of the city, az pro-
vided by law applicable to the passage
of resolutions by the city council, as
published in the Sauk Centre HERALD
on the 9th day of January. 1866; and
the charges of the editor of that paper
against the said judge as publisher at the
same date, are untrue. It is important
that credence shonld not be given to
these statements before the other side OF
the subject be made know
Those who may entrust business with
said judge or court, will, without doubt
receive fair, impartial and honest treat
ment, Notwithstanding the impression
evidently intended to be conveyed to
the contrary.

A NEW constitution for the State of
Minnesota is needed. We are operat-
ing under the original fundamental law
adopted when the state was admitted,
nearly forty years ago,-patched, pieced,
enlarged and otherwise battered almost
out of all sem mblance OF the original, the
same and vet wholly unlike it. But the
conditions are so dissimilar to what
they were then, that new homogeneous
and coherent constitution, framed by a
conyention composed of the best legal
and lay talent in the state, is urgently
needed. New York completed new
constitution a few months ago, the
second new one since Minnesota adopted
hers, and certainly il that great and
matured commonwealth needed a new
one, by how much more does Minnesota.
The proposition will be presented to the
people at the general election next fall.
and should be carried.

ELSEWHERE will be found a general
denial by Judge Wilcox OF the matter lii
the reso lutions passed bv the city coun-
Gil, and published in the HERALD last
week. and he also complies with the
denial, the matter published by the
HER AID in an editorial item. He should
be more explicit. Boiled down. and
withou. excluding any material point,
al the HERALD said was: G) Prior to
election he told Mr.. Moore he would
accept one-half the legal salary as pay,
if elected, (2) AS soon as nominated he
expressed determination to drav " full
salary. (3) He did SO until just prior
to the session OF the legislature, when he
drew salary for several months, on a
basis OF $500. (4) A petition Was
drawn for repeal. of the court act, but
not presented after he lad issued his
circular. headed financial statement" !"
t5). After the legislature adjourned he
demanded, and received monthly pay on
a basis of $500 a year; and back pay for
the months during which he had taken
the smaller amounts. (6). That he is
aware of the fact that the court act
would have been repealed ii the citizens
could have foreseen that the full salary
of $500 would be demanded.
That is all the HERALD said. and every
statement is accurate. and susceptible of
proof, excepting No. S, and the HERALD
will say that ofthe Judge was not aware
of the fact that the court bill would
have been repealed had the people under
stood that $500 would be demanded for
salary. Everybody at all familiar with
the facts is satisfied that it would have
been. The Judge should be more specific
IN his dedials. To which of the above
statements does he set up specific de-
nial!

1t does Sc I'm to be little bit mean for
every republican paper in the northern
part of the state to jump onto the faith-
full followers of the 6. o. F. in st. Cloud.
This is the sarcastic vein in which the
Fergus Falls Journal speaks OF a recent
appointment: est. Cloud needs all OF
these places and should have them. A
majority Of the republicans of ST. Cloud
have always been office holders and it
would not do to break the record. st.
Cloud Times. Z.
A word in defense Of st. Cloud re.
publicans-no defense OF st. Cloud re-
publicanism Is required. Fewer republi-
cans of st. Cloud have held Office during
the past ten years, than of any other
citv OF equal size in the state. You may
take the list Of municipal and. county
offices from the official records, and re-
publicans are corspicious by their alb.
sence. Locally they have nothing to
hope for. 1t is true that Dan Bruckart,
a republican, has served twice as mayor,
but the doubtful honor Of the place is all
there is in it. Judges Searle and Collins,
a great many years ago. were elected
county attorney, each for a term; and
Henry c. Waite once held the office of
state senator-so long ago that most
of the voters OF Stearns county have for
gotten the fact. Aside from two or
three legislative candidates, and their
iso lat ed and peculiar cases, the HERALD
does not recall any other local offices
held by either st. Cloud or Stearns
co unity republicans, and during all that
time the republicans of st. Cloud, and of
Stearns county have been among the
most energetic and effective party
w orkers in the State OF Minnesota.
Several times the county has been rep
resented on the state central committee,
and for several years past the chairman
ship Of the congressional district COM
NIT tee has been held by st. Cloud re-
neutrality-suspicious. which not only
involve a vast deal of personal work,
but not little expenditure of personal
funds. Until the republicans OF some
other city or county can show more dis
inter ested work for the party than has
been contributed by Stearns County re-
publicans, though in an overwhelming
minority Yet them take off their hats
to the loyal republicans of St. Cloud.
and of Stearns County.

any deal or arrangements have been

he is not little worried over the criti-

THE readers of the HERALD do not
need to be reminded that it is not in
accord with the silver views of its repre-
sentative. in congress, and yet in ali
fairness it is constrained to say that
Mr.. Towne's course in congress, thus
far, has been characterized by dill
gent desire to serve his constituents, and
that he is entitled to the confidence and
respect of his district. In voting against
a large majority of his party in the mat
ter ofissuing bonds to maintain gold
reserve, he acted wisely; and his vote in
favor OF increased revenues by raising
the schedule Of import duties was an
expression Of an appreciation of the
fact that it is deficient revenues that is
at the bottom of the unsatisfactory
condition of national finances. Senator
Nelson and Mr.. Towne spoke in the
same vein-the one or the bond and the
other on the tariff measure. The retire.
1pent of the greenhack il distasteful to
both Of them-and perhaps it would be
as we'll to retainit it until such time as the
entire currency system of the country is
re-arranged. With sufficient revenues to
meet current expenses its i'll effects upon
the monetary conditions will be reduced
to the minimum. Senator Nelson has
introduced billto reorganize the bank
ing system, but 1t will hardly become a
law until it shall become part and parcel
Of a comprehensive plan to readjust the
entire currency system Of the nation.

THE contest for the nomination for
governor Of Minnesota at the hand of the
Republican party is opening rather early
and rather warmly. It is going to be
the field agaist Clough and Hennepin
county, Clongh's home is to be the bat
tie ground. IT he can carry this he has a
show of getting the nomination. If he
loses Hennepin he will have no earthly
show, either of the nomination or cleo
ton. With sixth of the Republican
vote OF the State in Hennepin, it is the
battle ground. and especially as Gov.
Clough resides there. There is nc use of
the rest Of the state getting excited
until Hennepin decides wether it wants
Clough or not. The governor maintains
that he will carry Hennepin and the op-
position says he won't. Hold an early
convention in Hennepin.-Fergus Falls

A FEW years ago steps were taken in
this city looking toward the securing of
a branch of the 800" road, running
through the rich and populous towns of
Lake Henry, Spring Hill, Grove and
Getty, and the superintendent of the
road and right-ofway agent, spent
some time in the city and the country to
be traversed, and both were favorably
impressed with the route and its possi-
bilities. Today these conditions are far
more favorable even than they were
then. The country is eager tor better
facilities for transporting its abundant
crops. The advantages which would
accrue to the towns named is beyond
computation; and tine road would have
a feeder which would bring to it profit
able traffic All thst stood in the way
at thattime was the cost of the right
of-way, but the HERALD firmly believes
that this difficulty can be overcome.
The advantages which would accrue to
this city are TOO evident to need recapit-
utation. The $500" is one of the great
$ systems of road OF this country, and to
bring it directly int, this city and its
tributary territory would be to add
to the material welfare of
the people. It certainly is worth Wig
orous effort.

THERE was one portion Of the speech
of Senator Jones, OF Ark, in favor Of the
free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill that was pleasing to all repub-
licans regardless Of their position on the
silver question. That was where he said
that it was perfectly plain that the
revenues of the government were at
present insufficient and that they were
not likely to become large enough with
out additional legislation. That has
been the position ofthe republicans from
the first. and the attempts on the part
OF Mr.. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
to make 1t appear otherwise have not
changed anybody's opinion. AS has
been repeatedly shown by republicans in
both house and senate it has been lack
OF sufficient revenue that has kept the
Cleveland administration in financial
hot water, and that will keed it there

Stearns, Meeker and Kandiyohi' that
are commercially tributary to this town

Stearns county would stand heap OF
carving-it is large and unwieldly as it
IS, and with portions Of Meeker and
Kandevohi to help it out. would offer
plenty Of good material for three coun-
ties. Now would be an excellent OPP
portunity for St. Cloud to annex Sank
Rapids. and then attach Benton to
Stearns and rearrange county lines,
erecting three counties in the place of the
two, and then erect splendid court
house in St. Cloud. which would be an
ornament to St. Cloud and credit TO the

THE New York Sun makes this sugges-
ton to democrats:
The Wilson tariff law cannot be de.
tended by accusations against the Nc
Kinley law. One fault OF the Wilson
law is that it does not raise the desired
revenue. II the Mckinley law had
wiped out custom receipts to the last
dollar, the Wilson law would be unfit
to stay on the statute books. all the
same"
The difference is that the Mckinley
bill had definite purpose and accom-
plished it, while the Wilson bill had no
purpose and accomplished nothing--ex-
cept increased indebtedness, by frequent
bond issues.
