FLIES THE TRACK.

The Anoka Union is very Justly in
dignant at the legislature for the treat
ment accorded Anoka anent the Fourth
Hospital for the insane but that will
hardly justify it for taking the posi-
tion outlined in the following excerpt
from it's columns:
Henceforth the Union is not re-
publican newspaper, nor is it demo-
cratic, populistic or prohibition, but
will be an Anoka paper, working for
her interests in everything and at all
times. No party ties or party affilia-
tions will allow it to forget that fact
It will express it's own sweet will upon
every question which may come up
and be bound to no one, no class, no
party. A legislator, overwhelmingly
republican has turned Anoka down,
without reason, without honesty, with
out Justice and without excuse. 1t
proposes to battle royalty for it's
rights, and to stri re hard at every OPP
portunity. That will be it's platform,
until the city which is it's home, Sc
cures what rightfully belongs to it.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

The following letter from Oliver
Rosnick of Avon, himself Roman
Catholic and one of the plaintiffs in
the celebrated Avon school case re-
Gently decided by the judges of this
district, throws q vast amount of light
on phase of the public school sys-
tenn as administered in Stearns coun-
ty. The facts set forth in this letter
have been limited at frequently but
they are set forth herewith in man
ner which carries might with it. They
indicate a serious menace, and the
very fact of making it public will de-
stroy it. Mr.. Rasnick has done to
public school system great service
by his brave letter.
The decision of Judges Baxter and
Searle, in the Avon school case, pub
lished in the Times. issue of the 9th
inst, was received here without any
outward demonstrations of Joy or
grief on the part of either faction con-
cerned. Though CALLING as it no doubt
is to the majority of German Catho-
lies throughout this county, they can
not but learn, and eventually appreci-
ate it's Justice. The charge that the
spirit of A. p. Aism is manifest in this
case, is refuted by the fact that. the
leading spirits, against any and all
kinds OF divine worship in our school
embrace the Catholic faith, with one
exception. The moving principle was
clearly sense of duty; duty that all
true American citizens owe to poster
ity. A visit among the district schools
in Avon and adjoining townships,
will convince the most skeptical upon
the justice of this cause, that it is not
only timely and wise, but withal a
great benefaction.
Meet with group of school child
rem in any district mentioned above,
address them in the English language,
use the most common terms, if you
please, and their look of establishment
will convince you that they are strang-
ers to that ''sort of dialect" Young
men and women, born and raised right
here in Stearns county, educated un-
der the present system, and unable to
speak the English language. Who is
to blame for this? And why is this,
no great painstaking is necessary to
answer the question. Briefly sum-
moned up it is this: the present system
suits these old country people: then |
every two years regularly these old |
country people suits the county Off |
cial in charge Of their affairs. So it |
is policy on the one hand, and ignor-
ance on the other. But now that a |
new era has dawned, we look forward |
for better results from our nation |

ALL OVER the state there is a mani
fest disposition to give the beet sugar
subject fair trial. If one-half the
advantage to the farmer can be real
lied which is promised on the strength
of experiments already made, it will
be the most beneficient departure in
ag riculture ever yet achieved in Min
nesota. 1t is, at least, worthy of
serious consideration. The expert
mental station at st. Paul will fur
nish state bulletin upon the subject
upon application, and postal card
addressed to Hon. Henry Keller will
secure report of the special COM
mittee of the Legislature upon the sub
ject. Both are valuable publications,
and should be carefully read by every.

By conversation with the trustees
Of the Oakland cemetery the writer be-
came satisfied that by little persua-
sion by the lot owners, the G.. A. r.
people could be induced to take initi
ative steps to put water works in the
cemetary. A we'll, windmill, water
tank and piping would cost about $500
and no doubt the money could be
easily raised among the lot owners if
some one would take hold of it. This
system of watering cemetaries is being
used in a great many places with re-
suits that make the resting place of
the loved dead as. beautiful as plea
sure park. Oakland cemetary is natu
urally a beautiful spot and with a
system of water works it could in one
season be made the NEST lovely of its
size in the state. The cost to each one
would be small. And the matter should
be taken hold of at once.

MAY RELEASE HAUGHEY
BELIEF THAT THE PRESIDENT WI u
PARDON HIM IN TEN DAYS.
A Brief OF His Case Now Before Az
tOrney General McKenna-Feel-
ing I'm Washington.

The attorneys OF Theodore P. Haughey.
president of the defunct Indianapolis Ma
tional Bank, have prepared brief for
presentation to the attorney general of the
United States. along with the petitions for
his pardon that have been numerously
signed in this city during the last few
months. Advices to the Journal from
Washington declare that while Judge Nc
Kenla does not make public his inteation
in this matter there is a feeling in the De-
partment of Justice that he will approve
the application for pardon and lay it be-
fore the President without delay, and that
it is not unlikely that Haughey will be re-
leased from prison within ten days.
The memory of the public concerning the
bank failure and the subsequent prosecu-
tions and convictions has recently been
refreshened by the pardon of Francis Cof-
fin. Haughey was sentenced to six years
in prison on June 4. 1894. His conduct in
prison has been exemplary, and he would
naturally get the benefit of all time al
lowed. This is one month for the first
year, two for the second and so on up to
five months This would reduce his sem
tence to four years and ten months, making
it expire in April of 1883, year and q
half hence.

DIDN'T SELL SYNDICATE BEER.
The Reason the Police Have HOunded
Wade Hill.

In the investigation of Wade Hill's West
Ohio-street resort by the County Commits
sioners yesterday. Attorney Healing at
tempted to show that the police have
bounded Hill because he has not at all times
dealt in syndicate beer The commissioners
declined to admit this as evidence, but lis
tened to Mr.. Kealing's statement. He de-
clared he could prove his assertions. 1t
had been claimed that the police superin-
tendent detailed special patrolman for the
neighborhood in which the saloon is located
on account Of the rough characters that
patronize the place. Attorney Healing said
he could prove that while this policeman
was stationed there representative of the
syndicate brewing company went to Hill
and informed him that IL would be to his
advantage to handle syndicate beer. HID
concluded to try an experiment and ordered
the beer. The special policeman was at
once removed and remained away as long
as the proprietor sold the syndicate article.
Attorney Healing said he would show
further that Hill went 10 Mayor Taggart
at the Grand Hotel and complained that
his place was being watched because he did
not sell syndicate beer Mr.. Taggart asked
him to return at a stated hour, when Mr..
Colbert would be present Hill returned TO

commissioners will continue the case to-
