on Friday morning at the Merchantville
railroad station when workmen began
tearing up the old plank platform. which

Thursdays meeting was the reading o.
the usual letter from their counsel, who
wanted an additional fee for prosecuting
the claim. This fell fat, as no one at the
meeting suggested any ways and mean

: A discussion ensued as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of compromise with the English heirs
One of the heirs then took the floor and
spoke in favor of compromise, but nc
action was taken. The meeting elected
J officers and adjourned.

Not so much is being heard now as
a short time about the retaliation OF
foreign countries against the provi-
sions of our new tariff measure. A
great deal was said about the injury
to our export trade which would result
from the action which foreigners
would feel obliged to take to offset
the results of the new tariff; but off,
cial figures now show that our exports
of grain and manufactured articles
continue right in spite of the new tar
if, and, in fact, that they are increas-
ing rather than decreasing under it.

The late J. H. Manchester of the
Lake Benton News, as he was known
by the editor of this paper, was one of
the most peculiar persons on earth.
Mr.. Manchester had the weaknesses
that human flesh is frequently heir to-,
but above this he was kind and consid-
crate to his fellow-men. He was an
original writer. In fact, we are of the
opinion that no other newspaper man
in Minnesota wrote just like he did.
He could start joke, read an addition
to it, and then continue it to the very
last notch without shocking decency
or good newspaper etiquette. He
wrote but very little for his paper dur
ing the past year, all on account of
his ill-health, and no humor, dubbed
from the columns of that paper dur
ing that time. He was a bachelor, in
clined to the belief that the first and
middle days of life could be the most
happiest spent in bachelorhood.

re- election to the United States Senate

re- election to the United States Senate
from that State.
To the careful reasoner there is
nothing further from the truth. What
has Senator Foraker to gain by ap-
plying the knife to Hanna? The lat
ter will not only surely rise again in
the political arena. but his resurrec-
ton will be speedy, and in all proba-
bilities more important than seat in
the United States Senate. By knitting
Hanna, too, Foraker will gain the dis
pleasure of President Mckinley, and
with the political patronage that Sen
ator Foraker wants, this displeasure
will be very heavy force on Foraker
to pull square with his party in Ohio.
There is every reason to believe that
Senator Foraker, shrewd politician
that he is, proposes to see that Senat-
or Hanna is returned to the Senate.
He realizes that it means an admins
tration backing to him, that it means
the solidifying of the Republican
forces, and that it will be course gen.
orally approved by the Republicans
of the United States, and bitterly CEN
sured by members of the other polit-
ical parties.

THE ELECTIONS.

THE ELECTIONS.
The result of the elections last week
should be considered in bright man
ner by the Republicans, even though
some majorities dwindled, the Greater
New York voted Tammany, and Ne
braska went fusion. It was an off year,
following Presidential election, and
it was only natural that there would
not only be some backsliders but that
there would be good many voters in
the country districts, where the Re-
publican votes are, that would remain
at home.
In Massachusetts the Republicans
elected their candidate for Governor
by one of the largest votes in the his
tory of the State, and the legislature is
overwhelmingly Republican. In New
York State, where the Milhollandites
and the Plattites of the Republican
party, we're constantly warning, a
Democratic Supreme Court Justice
was elected, but the legislature elect
ed is largely Republican. In Greater
New York where the two Republican
factions we're warning with the most
bitter feelings, each having a candi-
date, Tammany, not standing for any,
thing but Tammany, elected it's candi-
date for Mayor by an overwhelming
plurality. Tammany carried all of the
other Offices in Greater New York, al
SO, and the tiger will have fat living
for the next four years. ..s.
In Pennsylvania the Republicans
continued the victory of last year, the
only surprising thing in connection
with the contest being the tremendous
vote of DR.. Sparrow for one of the
State Offices. Sparrow was prohibi-
ZIONIST. New Jersey returns Repub-
lican legislature, and that State ap-
parently is in the Republican column
to remain. In Ohio the Republican
State ticket was elected by nearly
10000 plurality, and the legislature is
Republican by from five to eleven ma
jority, thus insuring Republican sue
cessor to Senator Mark Hanna In
Iowa Republican State ticket and a
Republican legislature is elected by a
tremendous majority, and in Kansas
the county officers, the only officers
voted for, we're generally carried by
the Republicans. Nebraska went fu-
sion by $4,000 and Colorado probably
elected silver Republican governor.
The above is about the result of the
November elections. That is, the Re-
publicans carried practically every
State except Nebraska, counting mem
bers of the legislature and State Of
fcers. The Democrats, electing Su-
preme Court Justice in New York,
might consider that State in their col
umns this year, but the Republicans
having elected a majority of assembly
men, warrants that party in still keep
ing the State in it's column. Certain
ly, the returns are bright for the Re-
publican party, and bitter for the op-
position.
