MAYOR TOWNSEND.

The City of Sank Centre made no
send to again serve it as it's chief ex-
ecutive. He gave the city an excellent
administration when its mayor a few
years ago, and with the experience
then gained, he will give it a better
one during the term upon which he is
now entering. He is peculiarly quail
ged for the satisfactory discharge of
the duties of Mayor, and with him the
Office is no sinecure. He gives the
interests o, the city close attention in
every department, and every detail in
every department. The only policy
he will bring to the administra of
the office is a conscientious regard for
the oath of office, in which he binds
himself to see that the laws are en-
forced. To this proposition no law
abiding citizen can or will object. He
will give the city positive and vigor-
Gus administration, conservative and
sensible. He is conscientious, and
takes justifiable pride in administer
ing public affairs to the best interests
and credit of the city as a whole.
q That he will receive the hearty coop
Grafton of all good citizens goes with
out saying, and when his appropriate
officers are announced his choice will
meet with universal approval.

APPORTIONNIENT BILL.

THE new apportionment bill now be-
fore the Legislature, so far as it affects
the Sixth Congressional district prides
for Legislative districts as follows:
Stearns county, less ST. Cloud, is to
have one senator and two representa-
tives. St. Cloud and Benton county
are to have one senator and one repre-
sentative. Anoka, Sherbune, Isant
and Mile Laos are to make one dis
trict with a senator and three repre-
sentatives. Morrison and Grow Wing
senator and two representatives. Todd
Wadena and Hubbard are to make a
district, with a senator and two repre-
sentatives. Chicago, Pine and Kama
bee are to make district with sena-
tor and two representatives, Carlton,
Aitkin, Itasca and Cass counties make
a district with senator and two rep
resentatives. St. Louis, Lake and
Cook are two have three senator's and
six representatives. Wright county is
to be a district by itself with senator
and two representatives.
1t will be seen that st. Cloud and
Sank Centre are divorced, which, the
HERALD hopes, will be as satisfactory
to ST. Cloud as it is to Sank Centre.
The bill comes up for action in the
house today-Thursday

The Same Everywhere,

The impression made by Bishop
Morrison, wherever he breaches, is
everywhere as favorable as it was
here. The Journal-Press speaks OF
him in the following terms:
The Rt. Rev. J. D. Morrison, bish-
OPP of the new diocese of Duluth, and
of which the city of ST. Cloud is a
part made his first visitation to St.
Johns Episcopal church, Sank Rap
ids, Sunday.
Owing to the illness of Rev. H. F.
Parshall, the rector, the bishop took
all the services in both churches yes
terday. At the morning service, St.
Johns church was filled with large
congregation, many people being pres
ent from the other churches to see and
hear the new bishop. He preached a
strong sermon and made a decidedly
favorable impression on all who
heard him. Grace church was also
filled in the afternoon, where his SER
mon charmed all by it's eloquence.
He spoke to well-flled church in
this city in the evening.

The city Election.

Last Tuesday was fairly good day
for an election. The sun failed to
shine, but there was no occasion for
it particularly-the several candidates
did. It was rather tame, the only con-
test, being for Judge of the Municipal
court. While Judge Wilcox was
charging up Main-st., looking after
votes, Esquire Boulton was charging
down Third doing the same thing.
The new constitutional amendment cut
off a whole lot of men who had failed
to take out their second papers many
of them familiar names and faces at
the polls for a score of elections.
Most of them took it very ,philosophi-
cally, but occasionally one would
kick as though defrauded of his birth
right. There was scarcely enough in.
terest to draw full vote, but the de.
crease from last falls vote is largely
due to the fact of the new law.
The following is the vote cast.

The chief items in which there has been

The chief items in which there has been
an increase of importations during the past
year, aside from manufactures, were the
imports OF dutiable food products and live
ANIMALS, and of free articles of voluntary
consumption, commonly known as Injuries.
More than IS, 900, 900 worth more ''luxuries"
were imported than under the Mckinley act
in 1892. The farmers will be particularly
interested to note that, under the Mckinley
act, the importations of food and live animals
products which come into direct competi-
ton with the products of the American farm
er-aggregated only $So,ooo,ooo, In 1896,
| after one year of trial of the existing Tariff
| law, the importations of this class of goods
aggregated $23I, 900, and in 1896 this
was increased to $2S3,ooo, 900, notwithstand-
ing the depressed times which reduced the
volume of imports upon most lines of goods.
! VIM. Boulton who was defeated at
the polls for Municipal Judge, is sat-
/! isfied with the results. While he would
have liked to have been elected, his dis
appointment is forgotten in the happi-
ness he feels inhaving. so many staunch
friends who expressed themselves last
Tuesday. He made a good run, and
would have been elected if it had not
been for some damaging rumors Sc
a1oat on Monday, which were entirely
false, and sprung to late to be entirely
refuted.

blossom as the rose, and the great victories
OF mankind have been achieved for US. We
remember our own lives before thee, the
lines Of our lot cast in this pleasant land,
and we ask that we may faithfully do every
duty which the age demands of us. Inher-
iting so much from times past, quickened by
the inspiration Of great men, and still more
feeling thee presence ever near to our
heart, we pray thee that there may be such
righteousness OF soul within US that we shall
make every day Lords day, AID all our
work a great sacrament OF communion with
thy spirit. SO may thy kingdom come and
thy will 10 done on earth as 1t Is in heaven.

Climb Up to God.

Byron makes the illrstrious Downward
dig footholds in the walls OF his dungeon,
by which he climbs to the lofty window OF
his cell TO get look at the impressive
mountains Of his native Switzerland. For
weary years he had been confined In the
prison Of Chillon below the level Of the
waters Of Lake Geneva. He could hear the
waters ripple day and night. They formed,
as IL were, second prison wall. One day
bird sang at the prison window the sweet
est song he had ever heard. 1t resurrected
his heart OF stone. It created yearning
for look over the land which was free to
the bird. So the prisoner dug footholds In
the plaster OF the wall and climbed to the
window above. He looked out and he saw
the mountains unchanged. He saw the
snow OF thousand years and learned
patience. That look put new life into him
md gave him vision that lasted him to
the end. From that sight he obtained rest,
strength, solace. mean to climb up to
God that l may get Gods vision Of life and
be forever consoled by the sight OF some
thing grand and inviting beyond this life,
in which am now as In prison. mean
to catch a glimpse OF the towering peaks OF
Immortality. l am cutting footholds for
my faith in the promises Of God, and have
no time for ease, and want no ease. The
10y of such work is far better than ease. ]

A compilation of figures just sub
mitted by 1Ss students at Yale Uni
versity as to their expenses in attend
ing that great school shows the
following interesting results: Of stu
dents living on less than $500 a year
there ware but eight freshmen, seven
juniors and three seniors. OF those
spending $500 a year or over there
were nineteen freshmen, seventeen
juniors. and twenty-five seniors.
From $1,000 to $1,000 a year is the
range Of expense quoted by the larg-
est number in all classes. The aver
age expense, however, foots up thus:
Freshmen, $3.50; sophomores, SS05;
juniors, 1891; seniors, $971. These
expenses are about ten per cent. less
than they were in 1887. A growing
practice among students at Yale Of
earning money to help themselves
through college is noted, and the in
suits once heaped on such students by
the more aristocratic are now almost
unknown. The average age of the
Yale graduates this year is twenty-five
years and six months

Trust God for Each DAY.

Today is ours. Tomorrow is not ours.
We need, and we can have, strength and
support for our duties of today. These are
promised to every child of God who asks
and trusts. There is no promise for the
needs and responsibilities Of tomorrow. To
that day we may never come. That day
may never come to US. II We do CUR duty
today that is all that God requires Of US. II
we neglect today's duties our life is so far
failure, and we must answer to God for,
this neglect. Faithfulness in our day Is o
high attainment. Being anxious for to-
morrow displeases God and units US for
His service. Only by fidelity in today's
duties can we make wise preparation for
tomorrow. When the children OF Israel In
the wilderness attempted to lay up Of to-
days mama for tomorrow's food, their plan
was failure. When they were willing to
trust God for each day by itself, Gods daily
provision for them was ample. Thus with
al OF u.s. There is daily strength for daily
needs: such strength is sufficient for ~
each and all.-S. s. Times.
