If the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver will not make our dollars
worth only 80 cents, each, why is
it that it has had that effect in every
country where they have free and
unlimited coinage? Bear in mind
that many people who tell you that
such will not be the case, do not
believe what they say and are trying
to deceive you.

WORK OF MISCREANTS.
An Advertising Canvass Destroyed Last
Night.

Yesterday large hay rack covered
with canvass and bearing advertise
of the Model clothing house started
out through the country, with one of
G.. M. Phillips & Sons teams. Last
night the wagon was left beside the
livery barn, and some one with pair
of shears cut the canvass up in such
a manner that 1T became worthless.
Letters and figures were cut out. and
the canvass was left mass of tat tiers
The work was done after II p. m.
A new canvass is to be put on at
once and the wagon will make its
scheduled trips.
H. E. Halce offers $50 reward for
the arrest and conviction Of the per-
son or persons who did the work. 1t
is hoped that the miScreants will be
brought to justice aud given the ex-
treme penalty Of the law.

The census of 1890 is said to have
cost $11 100000. This is large sum
and a great deal too much to pay for
the practical information that is
gathered in the census. This large
cost leads the Sioux City Journal to
remark: SIT is no doubt true that the
method of organizing the census
bureau was responsible for several
millions of the cost. But whether so
or not, the fact remains that the CEN
sus covers too many subjects and in
cludes multitude of inquiries and
details which, while adding vastly to
the expense, do not add correspond
ingly to the value, and which in any
event have no proper place in such
enumeration. The census should Of
course be thorough and accurate, but
it should equally be restricted to its
proper limits"

Col. Saml Johnson, field manager OF

Co. land James T. Morris, business man
ager of the same company both OF
Minneapolis, have been in Mankato
for some weeks doing the preliminary
work for the organization of a COM
pany in this city. This work is now
nearly completed, and the company is
to be organized in few days.
The company will build hedge and
wire fences. Its name and the
amount of it's capital stock will be
determined later. but the subscrip-
tion list is now nearly complete, and
includes the names Of twelve or tif-
teen business men of Mankato and
farmers of the county. The fence
which it will build is handsome
one, and of great utility, as cattle or
pigs cannot break through it. That
the fence will prove popular there is
no doubt.
1t is expected that the necessary
papers will be filed within few days.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Lamp Starts a Blaze in the Omaha
Freight Depot.

As Freddie Chiquet was going
home last evening along the Mil
waukee track, at about 1880 o'clock,
he looked over toward the Omaha
freight depot and noticed a blaze on
the inside. A closer investigation
showed that a lamp on one of the
desks in the office had been over
turned or had exploded, setting fire
to the desk and the papers on it..
Fred informed his father Of what he
had seen, and the latter, A. f.
Chiquet, hastily notified the Off
Gals at the union depot. who unlock
ed the freight depot and with a few
pals of water put out the fire. A
hunting dog in the office Was
nearly smothered by the smoke. Had
the fire not been discovered when it
was, the damage would have been
much more serious.
1t is believed that the dog jumped
upon the desk and overturned the
lamp. The papers burned were not
important, and an oilcloth on the
desk prevented much damage being
done to it. The desk was that used
by Cashier J. H. Spencer.

1t is now rumored that ex-senator
Brice has joined hands with John R..
Mclean, to secure the defeat of Sena-
tor Hanna in Ohio, The scheme is
said to be to control the senate Or
ganization if possible through the aid
Of the antl-Hanna Republicans and
throw Democratic support to any
other Republican but Hanna. If this
is the scheme, it remains to be seem if
any of the Republicans will play into
the hands of the Democrats. If they
do, it ought to settle their political
career forever. and doubtless will.

The Auoka Union thinks pro-
nounced defeat at the polls would be
a good thing for the Republican party
of Minnesota, and that 1898 would be
a good time to do it. 1t is some
what curious fact that when a Re-
publican gets out with his party he
at once becomes of the opinion that
the best thing that could happen to
the party would be it's defeat at the
polls. They do not stop to consider
anything else except their own per-
sonal desires, leaving out all possible
effect such defeat might have upon
the community or state. There is no
longer any question but that if the
Republican party should be defeated
in Minnesota, that the winner would
be the mongrel fusion that has been
in vogue for the past two years or so,
in which the most radical of populis-
tic ideas prevail, and it would be a
calamity for the state in the midst OF
returning prosperity, to go over into
such hands. Much better would 1T
be, and how much better Judgment and
goodsepse shown, if those Republicans
who are kicking against their party,
would join in creating public senti-
ment that would cause the party to
take an entirely different course from
what it has in the past, There is al
ready strong sentiment abroad in
the party, and it is already being
recognized by those who have put
| themselves forward as it's leaders, and
it only remains for the rank and file
of the party to keep this sentiment
growing to cause the party to put up
strong and poular ticket next year.
But this cannot be accomplished by
whining and declaring that the best
thing for the party is to defeat
it. If the Republican party
makes a mistake this year it
will be because "a few are allowed
to run things instead of the party.

IN THE kLONDIKE.

The stories that come from the
Klondike are to the effect that the
suffering there from the short supply
of food will be great, and that the
supply of food is ample, continue to be
given to the public. 1t seems to be the
general opinion, however, that food
supplies there are intentionally
short, and that unless aid can be
gotten to them the miners there
will suffer greatly before navigation
opens next spring. Many schemes
have been proposed to get aid to the
people at Dawson City, one of the
principle ones being the sending of
sledges up the Yukon. This is said
to be impossible, as the ice is piled up
in ridges across the river at short in
tervals, making passage impossible
until road is tunnelled through, and
this could not be done as it would
take too long.
On the whole it looks as though if
there is an actual shortage in food
supplies at Dawson that relief to any
great extent would be impossible,
though numerous attempts will
probably be made on various trails.
Added to the reports of the short
supply of food, is also that of short
supply of candles and kerosene, so
that many will be unable to work
their claims for want of light. At
the best the outlook there for the
winter is not pleasant one.

The deceased was born in Connecti-

went to Fargo. Mrs. Root had not
seen him for ten years until last
