New school House.

Pursuant to the resolution adopted
at the school meeting, the Board of
Education has already taken steps to
erect a two-roOm frame building for
school purposes, which will be COM
pleted in abundant time for the open
ing of the fall term. Q A building, .32x
"a, one story, will be erected at the cor
ner where the Lord building now
stands. That building will eremeved
eastward to a point near the line of
the adjoining lot, and the new one
will be put upon the west line of the
school property, the front on Fourth
ST., on or very near the street line. A
heavy stone wall will be built to serve
the double purpose of foundation and
retaining wall. The purpose is to
heat it from the boiler in the main
building, but it will be provided with
a chimney and ventilating shafts, SO
that stoves may be used if necessary.
It will be fine building, we'll adapted
to the uses for which it is designed and
will serve its purpose for several years.
It will be so constructed as to make it
readily movable when desired. The
cost will not exceed $500, including
necessary furniture and equipment.

GlenWOOd won two out OF the three
heats and won first money, leaving a
tie between the Ebenstiner and Con-
nelly orses. AS they could not agree
30 divide the purse, an extra heat pc
tween the two was run in which Eben-
stiner won.
Another event of interest was the
base ball game between Browervflle
and Merose. Both are excellent clubs
and at Alexandria,, Melrose was the
winner. Here Browerville won by a
score of 10 to 5. 1t was q fine game
and was heartily enjoyed. The fire.
works in the evening were as success
full as had been every other feature of
the day. A parade was organized
which marched through the principal
streets, discharging lnulti-co]ored
Roman candles, while brilliant fires
burned along the route. The air was
filed with brilliant blazes, and hun
dreds of rockets Kissed and doomed in
every direction. The set pieces were
very fine, and, taken in all, it was a
pyrotechnic display, long to be remem-
bered. The. festivities of the day
closed with dance at the Opera
House, given by the base ball boys
which furnished plenty OF fun for. all,
and netted hands ONE surplus,
Sank Centre is highly gratified at
the handsome compliment paid her by
such large delegations as were present
from our neighboring towns. Glen
wood had hundred people here, Mel
rose, Alexandria and Long Prairie as
many, while all the stations on all the
lines of road were proportionately lib
eral in numbers. And furthermore, it
is gratifying to know that all felt
themselves repaid for coming.
1t was day long to be remembered,
without flaw, accident or trouble.
Everybody was happy, there We're few
excuses of any kind, and the police
force had fittle to do.

coprressmen and sr,be !.

A man who has been defeated for re-
election is not in at frame Of mind
to legislate for his people. There is a
sting in defeat that tends 70 engender
the feelings of resentment which often
finds expression in the vote Of such
members against wholesome legisla-
tion. That same feeling often pro-
duces such want Of interest in pro-
ceedings as 70 cause the member to
be absent nearly all of the second sess-
ion.
Congressman are not usually men of
means. Their congressional career
has resulted in the destruction Of their
clientage or business. To a defeated
member who has relied upon his salary
for support, the future looks dark and
gloomy.
1t is then some are open to PROPOSE
/ tons which they would never think of
entertaining if they were to go before
the people for reelection. 1t is then
that the attorneyship of some corpora
ton is often rendered and vote is Gf-
terward found in the record in favor Of
Legislation of general or special char
aeteI favoring the corporation. If an
affirmative vote cannot be had it Is
often just as important that the mem.
Der should be absent. If there is ever
time in the history of the man when
he will directly of indirectly accept
bride, it Is then.
There is less chance of detection. He
is no longer political factor. His po-
litieal enemies no longer watch his
course and his opposition newspapers
NO longer criticise his conduct: "the
secret is his own add is safe"
There are many upright men in con-
gress who would not be influenced by
defeat. But in as large body as the
house of representatives there must al
ways be some who would yield to temp
tation.
1t is fact that nearly all, if not all
of the legislation that is claimed to
have been passed by corrupt influence
was enacted during these second regu-
lar sessions of congress. North Ameri-

Gnrarnmsnt By the Courts.

The peoples party in both state and
national platforms has constantly
pointed to the dangerous and increas-
ing usurpations Of power by the federal
courts. The peoples party has pro-
tested against the action of the courts
in making and unmaking laws in spite
of congress and the state legislatures.
The peoples party denounced the i'm
prisonment of Debs by order Of the
court and without trial by jury. And
It was n populist senator who forced
through the U. S. senate = bill to
guarantee TO every citizen trial by
jury, which right the courts had tried
to destroy.
The peoples party has protested
against the removal of causes to fed
eral courts which should DO tried in
the state courts But now here comes
federal Judge (Simonton) who issues
an injunction and actually orders the
Governor Of North Carolina not to
bring . suit in the state courts against
the Southern railroad. This breaks
the record. The courts are running the
government and the railroads seem to
be running the courts.
Every day the people have fresh OBJ
iect lessons to prove that every plank
in the peoples party must be enacted
into law to restore prosperity and to
protect our liberties. The Caucasian.

TIL o. Pointed Extracts.

Bryan ia a speech in Carnagie Hall
said many good things as the follow
ing extracts will show:
1.-THE gold standard is now doing
Just what it has always done. 1t is
helping those who own money and
hurting those who produce wealth. l
have no doubt that this agitation,
which has begun in earnest this year,is
to 60 on, and that the experience of
the American people will lead them to
the conviction which argument was not
able to secure After all, experience
is the best test in politics."
y
81 want to say" says W. j. Bryan,
"that the agitation will go on until
every American citizen understands
the money question, and then we want
them to vote on it and settle it. But |
do not believe any question can be set
tied through the intimidation practiced
through moneylenders and employers
Men must be free, They must believe
the question cannot be settled un-
til the verdict is that of the right
heart, and not of the body bent under
the lash"
y n
Mr.. Bryan thus states his positiot
regarding the wed-foot democracy. al
those men who left us are as wrong
politically rs we think, we ought moi
to have them with us, and1 we are a.
bad as they say then they ought not tc
risk contamination with us. We don't
want any one who is not convinced.
We are no better than we were before
election. want to say that l have
not yet reformed, and that l believe in
the principles that we advocated dur
ing the campaign just as much now as
then. And it is going to be no easier
for monometallist and bimentallisi
to associate together in the future.
