SUCCESSFUL COMMITTEE.
The Republican County Committee
Completes Campaign
LabOrS.
HEADQUARTERS CLOSED.

The hardest fought and most sue
cessful campaign ever waged in Blue
Earth county has closed and the Re-
publican committee, and the McKin-
ley club-both organizations occupy
the same quarters-have "closed up
shop"
In this connection it is but just
and proper that DR.. J. W. Andrews,
chairman of the county committee, S.
w Burgess, chairman of the executive
committee; w. E. Young, president
of the Mckinley club and Clay Bur-
CESS, secretary of the county commit
tee and the Mckinley club. should re-
ceive word of special recognition.
These gentlemen held daily execu-
tive sessions for weeks before the
close of the campaign, and every
movement of the opposition was re-
ported. The committees were at all
times in possession of facts which
aided them in their work to thwarU
the inroads of the opposition, and
through their constant watchfulness
and the assistance OF the members of
the county committee in the
various towns the greatest victory in
Blue Earth county politics was won.
The county convention chose wisely
in selecting DR.. Andrews as chairman
of the committee and the Mckinley
club did likewise in choosing Mr..
Young as it's president. Another
agreeable outcome of the campaign is
the fact that both the county COM
mittee and the Mckinley club have
been able to cancel every obligation
contracted, and they will retire from
the contest with no old debts hanging
over them.

THE WHEAT MARKET.

The Minneapolis Tribune in It's week.
ly write up0f the wheat market re-
feTring to the confidence resulting
from the election which has given
confidence to money matters and con-
sequently allowed wheat to make an
advancegwhich it naturally ought to
make, says;
1t may be question if the strength
of the situation has not been suffi-
cIently discounted foF the present by
the advance already scored. Many
men in the trade are looking for
good reaction from present prices,
although acknowledging that our
great cereal is, likely to sell much
higher before the harvesting of an
other crop. However, if speculation,
whichis now facilitated by the ease of
money, gets into it,, it may be difficult
to keep prices down to an export basis.
1t is PROFESSIONALLY better for
the future of the market that quota
tions should not be marked up too
much now. We do not want to keep
our prices so high as to induce other
exporting countries to rake and
scrape their old bins and fill the de-
mand of the consuming countries,
leaving us with our surplus unsold.

a piece there Jan. 26th, but it was no

President w. B. Sketch, of the vii

piece of red paper on the pump house,
in order to discover who wrote the
first letter. When the decoy answer
to the second letter had been placed
under the hotel steps, witness and
Sheriff Wood had watched, concealed,
and at $50 p. M, when the street was
vacant and the moon shining brightly,
had seen a boy and dog go to the
steps, and crouch down. Witness had
run toward the boy, who ran down an
alley and got out of sight. Witness
looked under the steps and saw that
the letter was gone, and then went
through the alley and was told by a
woman into what house the boy had
gone. The dog was outside the door.
When witness knocked at the door,
the boy came. Witness asked him if
he had the letter, and he replied that
he didsno and offered to be searched.
The letter was not in his pockets, and
witness started TO go into the inner

OUR neighbor down the street don't
like the idea which Mark Hanna has
put forth Of continuing the work of
education of the people in the money
question. 1t likens him to keeping
up the agitation along side of Bryan
and says that "if Mr.. Hanna has nc
higher ambition than to keep alive
the strife and contention of the past
campaign, his victory, so far as the
country at large is concerned, will in
deed be barren one" Our neighbor
need not be alarmed about Mr.. Hanna
keeping up the strife and contention
of the past campaign. That is a mat
ter that will be left entirely in the
hands Of Mr.. Bryan and his associates.
There is one beauty about the doc
trine of the sound money idea, and
that is, it does not stir up strife, but
tends to strengthen confidence every
where. 1t is the agitation against a
sound doctrine that stirs up strife and
causes loss of confidence. And this
latter is what Mr.. Bryan proposes to
do. The line Of education which Mr..
Hanna proposes will not injure bust
ness in the least, but will be absO-
lutely necessary if Mr.. Bryan carries
out his purpose of future agitation as
he proposes.

THE Revieso in stating that Nc
Kinley carried states representing 142
electoral votes which were carried by
Cleveland in 1892, says that Bryan
only carried IS electoral votes carried
by Mr.. Harrison, and names the states
of Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada and Washington.
The Revseae is mistaken in this. Mr..
Harrison did not carry all Of these
states. Colorado, Kansas, Idaho and
Nevada, representing 20 votes in the
electoral college were cast for the
Populist candidate, Mr.. Weaver, SO
that Mr.. Bryan only carried Is votes
that were cast for the Republicans

OUR POPULATION 1880.

Mankato's population on the basis
of the vote cast at the recent election,
2,268. using five as multiple, is H.
$40. This is not far from our present
population. The multiple of five is
one that experience has shown to be
correct. With good times for the next
four years, the city should show a
population of $4,000 in 1900. Our COM
mercial organizations should strive to
this end.

WHOSE FAULTp
The Councils Position in Regard to
the Health Inspectorship.

One of the aldermen visited ou1
office Monday afternoon and desired
the councils position regarding the
pay of Health Inspector Bradley to,be
set right before the public Said he
'"The board of health consists of
three members, DR.. Jacoby, Hans
Jorgenson and r. G. Becker, the lat
ter having been appointed last spring
by the mayor to succeed Mr.. Howard.
Since a year ago. last spring, VIM.
Bradley has been acting as health in
spector, which is an office distinct
from the board of health, but under
the direction of Dr. Jacoby. All of
these gentlemen have been appointed
by the mayor and confirmed by the
council. Mr.. Beckler was appointed
on the board with the understanding
that he was to do the plumbing in
spectiOn, and in measure also do
health inspecting. Mr.. Bradley has
continued to act as health inspector,
on his own hook, and the council has
been paying him as we'll as Mr.. Beck
Ter.
"This is a condition Of affairs
which should not exist, as all must
admit. AS to who is to blame, there
is no doubt. DR.. Jacoby could perhaps
have the office vacated by preferring
charges of incompetency against Mr..
Bradley, but he naturally does not
care to do that. The mayor appoint
ed Mr.. Bradley, land unless charges are
presented, the power lies with him
only to revoke the appointment. This
he ought to do. The council is tired
of paying TWO men for doing the same
work, and now that the matter has
been ventilated it will pot allow any
more of Mr.. Bradley's bills-at least
not without protest."
Health Officer JacOby was seen in
regard to the matter and said:
II do not care to prefer charges
against Mr.. Bradley. The appoint
ment was not made by me and can
not declare the office vacant. Mr..
Mr.. Bradley's bill for October was for
sixteen days. work, when all the
work that there was to do ia that line
could have been done 10 one day
There is very little inspecting to be
done at this time of the year l don't |
believe that the tax payers want to
pay an unnecessary salary"
Mayor Weaver, when seen, said that
bhe council voted unanimously last
spring that Mr.. Bradley should be coz
,inued as health inspector.
There is certainly an anomalous
condition of affairs existing, and one |
lot highly creditable. Each depart !
nent of the city tries, to shift the |
blame upon another, while all admit |
hat salary is being drawn from the |
;ity treasury for which no adequate |
eturn is made. 1t would seem that |
he condition of sthe city finances
would not permit of sinecures in our /
ocal government. The tax payers |
will hardly endorse such a condition |
# affairs next spring.

LEGISLATIVE APPORTIONrlENT
Blue Earth County May Lose One
Representative.


Representative.
Senator Barr stated at the meeting
of the board of trade Monday that
undoubtedly the northern part of the
state would ask for a reapportion-
ment of the legislative districts at
the coming session Of the legislature.
Unless the number ofsmembers in the
lower house is increased, which he
thought not likely, new apportion-
ment would deprive Blue Earth
county of one of it's three represen-
tatives. The northern portion of the
state has increased more rapidly in
population than the southern portion
since the last apportionment was
made, and this will occasion loss in
a good many legislative districts in
the southern part of the state.

TURNED TO FARMING.
The Social Science Club Looks to the
Future of That Ayocation

The heavy snow fall somewhat
interfered with the attendance at the
Social Science club Tuesday, but
goodly number were out and an
interesting discussion was had over
Mr.. A. G. Matters paper on Farm
ing-Its Future, Intensive or Exten-
sive." Mr.. Matter in his paper briefly
outlined the progress which has been
made in farming from early times, and
showed that all tendencies is toward
farming of an intensive rather than
of an extensive nature; that only of
late years has farming been regarded
| as a science, and men are preparing
themselves in skilled way to carry
on it's operations. He briefly referred
to the work agricultural stations are
doing, aud to the part fertilizers must
take in the future, and commented
upon the Importance irrigation will
play in the west in the farming of the
future. He did not see chance for
much further improvement in the
way Of machinery to help the farmer,
and thought that the great success
and gain Of future farming must come
through the greatest skill of man
with the aid of science. Transporta-
tion would, he believed. play an i'm
portant part on the future Of farm
ing, perhaps more than at present,
and it's regulation is matter which
should be, closely studied. He cited
the fact that larger farms are not on
the increase either in size or number,
but are gradually being broken up,
and thought the tendency of most
improved farming is toward smaller
farms.
Mr.. Geo. III. Brewster opened the
| discussion and cited many reasons
showing why farming is growing in
. tenSive rather than extensive, and
better cultivation is taking the place
of the more loose methods of agricul-
tural conduct of the past. He touched
upon reasons for the lowprice of some
products Of the farm, and believed
that wherever it was possible that
Legislation would benefit the farmer
it should be carefully considered and
enacted. The home market he
thought, was the one that should be
most carefully studied by the farmers,
and if predictions as, to our future
growth are realized, as they no doubt
to great extent will be, the home
market will take allof the farmers
product
The general discussion of the ques-
tion was entered into quite generally
by members of the club, and proved
most interesting. DR.. Curryer was
present, and being called upon, gave
many interesting. facts connected
with the farm institute work of the
state, showing the progress farming
of Minnesota has taken Of late years
toward more intensive nature.
The next regular meeting of the
club will be held on Tuesday evening,
Nov "a, when Mr. B. G. Taylor will
read paper on "Lynching-Its
Cause and Remedy"
