Magistrate Smith stated that be had

his purpose respecting the proceedings
he desired the parties present to express
their views 90 certain points In the

representing the State board OF CONTROL
1t desired that the question Of its au-
tbority to issue such licenses should be
judicially settled, and that be was pre-
pared to agree to soy proceeding that

Mr. Thomas suggested that the pro-
ceedipgs under the twenty-second sec
ton Of the act as against the common

litical statement we can make:

The step was contemplated only for short
time before it was taken. The house needed
ready money. Gilt-edged securities-unen-
numbered real estate and Government bonds
were put into Judge Russelrs hands by
Judge Hilton, and Judge Russell was COM
missioned to raise the money. Five hun
dred thousand dollars would have been suf-
ficient for our needs and up to five O'Clock
last night it was expected that the money
would be raised. Judge Russell found, how
ever, that it was utterly impossible to raise
a large amount of money on any security.
Why! on s75O,OOO worth of Government
bonds he couldn't borrow more than $780,

What is needed at the present time
is recurrence to first principles. Stop
yelling and confront the situation with
a patriotic, honest, sober mind. Look
carefully. Be safe. And then build
up prosperity on the safe foundation.
Don't swing the pendulum too far at
the start. Place the government in
the hands of men who are competent
and ready to uphold the sacredness of

contracts so that people will be ready
to make further contracts or enter in
to new obligations. The mere threat
of Reputation by a great and rich
Nation is sufficient to discredit it's OBJ
legations and put to shame every hon
est man. The quicker the blow is
dealt to these Repudiatiopists, the
quicker the stop of calamity bowling,
the better for the poorer people--the
rich it effects little, or makes richer.
The more effective the blow next No.
vember the quicker will business fail
ures cease and prosperity return to
suffering American people. Let the
voters deal the Repudiationists blow
from which they will never recover.

Sept. 18th, from 7:3O to $40, at the

who will represent them properly in
the convention, there will not be so
much occasion for sore spots after
wards.

In the last issue of his paper Your
Uncle 10 Chadderdon deals a roast
out to all interested on account of the
court room by the Republican party
for conventions. Your Uncle 10 is
correct so far as the statement that
the Republican conventions have been
held in the court house goes. But he
should go further. The court room
has been used by Democrats and Pro-
hibitionists, also, and had the Popu-
lists held their conventions here they,
too, would probably have been held
in the court room. The use of the
court room by political parties, for a
day has no more right to be compared
with the use of the probate or clerk of
courts Office by individuals than has
Your Uncle 10 to be compared with

READ BY THE PEOPLE.

That The GAZETTE is read by all
the people was demonstrated very
clearly to the advertising patrons for
tunate enough to have their merchan-
disc bills of fare in the issue of Aug.
10th. Three thousand copies of that
edition we're circulated in Redwood
and Renville counties, and as result,
on Fair Day, Aug. 18th, the merchants
enjoyed one of the most extensive
trade days experienced for number
of years-barring the immediate holt
day trade days. That patronage and
the immense crowd in the city demon
strated very clearly that The GAZETTE
is the paper of the people, for the peo-
pie and read by the people.
The next special edition of The Ga
zETTE will be the issue for Sept. 10th.
This will consist of 5000 or more cop
les and will be distributed more gen.
orally and more carefully than the
edition of Aug. Goth. It will contain
an outline of the programme of the
special stock and produce fair to be
held on Sept. 23d, under the auspices
of the Board of Trade, and of the
county fair to be held on Sept. %, "a
and rs, under the auspices of the Red
wood County Agricultural society.
The paper will be from IL to 16
pages in size. Advertisers are re-
quested to engage their space at the
earliest opportunity, having copy pre-
pared and placed in this office not
later than tomorrow.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON.

There is a good object lesson for
the calamity howlers in the failure of
Hilton, Hughes & Co., the noted New
York retail department store proprie-
tors, successors to Alexander T. Stew
art, the merchant prince of his time.
The calamity howlers have been at
work for year or two past bowling in
such a manner as to frighten the cap
italists to place their money in the
strong boxes in vaults. The result is
that money has been driven away
from borrowers and would-be invest
ors, and instead of factory wheels
moving and prosperity, the wheels are
silent and the nation is drifting back
ward, instead of forward.
The principal calamity howlers are
to-day the principal shouters for free
and unlimited coinage of silver-they
are the Bryano-Popocrats who pre-
tend to know more about the affairs
of the government than do the more
experienced statesmen of to-day.
They are directly responsible for the
present tightening up of the money
market, for the failures during the
past few months, for the failures that
will surely come. There is no doubt
of this.
But to revert to the New York fail
ure. Judge Hilton of the insolvent
firm offered to put up 100000 worth
of government bonds as collateral Sc
curity in order to raise $4,000 to
tide the firm over, but the money
men of New York, half-fearing the
success of the calamity howlers and
the 53-cent dollar shouters, would on
ly advance $25O,OOO on the same.
Think of it!
Government bonds, generally at a
premium, fall to less than one-half of
their face value, all on account of the
silver heresy going over the country.
But in order to make the matter more
impressive we quote from the state
ment of Mr.. Gillian, manager OF the
firm, in explaining the cause for the
final insolvency and assignment. It
is a non-political statement that
should have more effect than any po-
