THANKS TO-6OD.

AT the regular prayer meeting SER
vices of the Church of the Holy
Communion last Thursday evening,
special comemoration services were
conducted in honor of.the victory of
American arms on land and sea in the
present struggle with Spain, in con-
formity with the proclamation Of Pres
ident Mckinley issued on Thursday
of last week.
Immediately after the comemoration
services, the pastor, Rev. w. I'll.
Knowlton, delivered an extended ser
mon on the occasion, first calling at
tention to the fact that the United
States was peculiarly fortunate in hav-
ing Christian President like McKin-
ley, and then referring to the Presi-
dents proclamation for thanksgiving
services. Mr.. Knowlton briefly re-
viewed the wars for right and justice,
going back to the early struggles, and
then coming up to the present time,
contending that in almost every strug-
gle the righteous have ultimately
triumphed. In all of them, be con-
tended, the Almighty's hand was
plainly discernable. Touching on the
present struggle, he said that it was
another case of a Christian Nation,
directed by the unseen hand of the
Almighty, going to the rescue of q
downtrodden people practically held
in bongage by degenerate mother
country. The unseen hand had pre-
pared the way, and where there were
delays, struggles, cruel butcheries,
and the like, it was but for the ripen-
ing of the struggle and freedom that
was to come, and that when freedom
was won the people who we're to enjoy
it would always remember how dear
ly It was purchased.
Mr. Knowlton did not deny but what
American spirit and valor, together
with the fighting machines on land
and sea, we're too much for the Span
ish monarchy, but he was strongly of
the belief that the victories attained
by American arms we're made more
important, with less loss of life, by
virtue of the unseen power being on
the side of right and justice. He de-
precated wars in general, but COM
mended this one in particular, and
said that future generations of all
countries would point to the United
States Of America as being the great
est liberator of humanity that modern
times can boast of.

interest. Az each yearly payment is
made Of them, as we'll as Of the rail-
road bonds, the interest decreases, and
the taxation becomes less.
The county owns property valued
at $55, 600, the court house being worth
$35, 900, the Jail $4,000 aud the poor
farm the balance, and as result the
assets of the county at the present
time, over it's Indebtedness, is $4,000.
At the present time the treasury has
over $4,000 to the credit of the differ
ent funds, between three and four
thousand of which belongs to the
revenue fund.
On Thursday County Treasurer
Lankard stated that the real and per-
sonal property valuation of the county
would be nearly five millions of dollars.
He anticipated an increase Of one mill
in the tax levy of last year, at the
present session of the board, in order
to raise money enough to meet the
railroad bonds as they became due.
There is a separate sinking fund to
pay the interest on the bonds but no
sinking fund has been created to pay
the principal.
Mr.. Lankard stated that the No
vember, 1898, settlement, would be a
great deal larger than it has been on
previous years, owing to the new law
permitting people to pay one-half
taxes before June 1st, and the other
half before Nov. LIST, without paying
penalty. Quite large amount of
the last half taxes will undoubtedly be
paid before June LIST.

ego. The reason was, simply, that we
raised and manufactured more than
we could ca. or use; production had
overtaken and outstripped consump-
ton. OF course during the war, just
now, better prices prevail, but former
conditions will recur again in the near
future, unless we can extend our mar
ket. Naturally, more lands are being
opened. up and more manufacturing
plants are being projected to add their
output to an already overburdened
market. With these conditions con-
fronting us it is wise to consider wheth-
or we can do anything to avoid this
excessive competition in the products.
of the labor of the country. / can see
no way but through increased effort to
find new consumers. For these we
cannot look to Europe, or through
trade relations with first class nations,
for it is manifest we cannot compete
with them on anything they can grow
or manufacture, or if it should happen
that we could in some special case, we
would find the market closed against
US as soon as they could change their
tariff to shut us out.
This brings to the consideration of
the subject on the line on which
Blaine's reciprocity treaty was passed.
The making of special effort to in
crease our trade with Central and
South American countries and with
the Orient. This should be done large
ly with countries having trade and
manufacturing development inferior
to ours and where we can buy pro-
ducts we cannot grow or make in ex-
change for the class of of our products
they may need, with the advantage al
ways on our side, that we may find an
outlet for manufactures that will help
our labor market and at the same time
assist in the development OF. their
latent forces.
We are already sending large guam
titles of lumber, -four, railroad iron
and cotton, not to speak of minor pro-
ducts, to the Asiatic countries, and yet
have barely made q beginning. To
show that the great bulk of the COM
MERGE of a country under leading
nation is with the parent country, We
need only instance Honolulu and the
Sandwich Islands, four-fifths of whose
import and export trade is with the
United States on account of special
reciprocity laws.
We need, then, foothold in these
new regions for National security and
for commercial reasons that, thereby,
we may strengthen and increase our
trade relations with the Orient, as we'll
as in the South Atlantic, that shall
furnish market for our surplus pro-
ducts and at the same time establish
reciprocal relations that ultimately
will result in the highest benefit to
them. O. B. TURRELL.

GOOD CONDITION.
Financial Condition of Redwood
County Growing Better.

In ten years Redwood county will
he one of the best counties, financially,
in the State of Minnesota, it already
being the blue ribbon farming county.
This statement is corroborated bv q
glance at the books of the county
treasurer, which show, that at the end
of that period, the county will not
owe cent, and will have a fair-sized
revenue fund to its credit.
At the present time the total indebt-
edness of the county amounts to
$4,000. Of this amount 5000 are
refunded railroad bonds. This was first
$4,000, but at the January meeting
of the county commissioners. the in
debtedness was reduced to it's present
amount, and the balance was refunded
to the First National Bank of St. Paul
at 4 per cent, instead of Z per cent,
which the county had been paying
They we're also made annual bonds
by which move the county will pay of
from $1,000 to $1,000 each year, fol-
ten years, when the debt will be wiped
out.
On July LIST last the auditor issued
his order to the State for $1,000, anC

of the Jail bonds, leaving tota
amount owing to the State by The
county of only ten thousand. These

TRAINING SCHOOL.

The teachers of Redwood, Renville
and other countries, who contemplate
attending the summer training school
at Redwood Falls, should remember
that the school opens on July 25th,
and they should have all arrangements
perfected to remain throughout the
session. The school will be under the
supervision of Prof. F. V. Hubbard,
principal of the Red Wing schools,
formerly of this place, who will be
assisted more or less by Superinten-
dent S. j. Race.
The course of study comprises &C.
ometry, physics, algebra, pedagogy,
penmauship, drawing, vocal music,
arithmetic, English grammar, physiol-
ogy, reading and physics. OF this
course no student will be allowed to
follow more than three solid subjects,
together with vocal music, drawing,
civics and physical culture. Reading
may be allowed. The best results will
be gained by selecting few subjects
and pursuing them with diligence
creditable to pupils.
Prof. Hubbard will be assisted by
several instructors from other schools
in the State. One of the number is
Miss Mary Deem, who is supervisor of
music and drawing in the Maukato
schools. She is specialist in her line,
and will remain here during the entire
session. Miss Maud Colgroye of St.
Cloud will have charge of grammar,
United States history, and one or two
other subjects. Miss Colgrove is a
teacher of wide experience, who knows
full we'll just what teacher wants to
know in order to be successful in the
rural schools.
Miss Louise Snyder of Minneapolis,
will give the students in attendance at
the institute, good idea of primary
methods in our schools OF the
most difficult departments of the sys-
tenn. She will instruct On primary
numbers, geography, reading chart
work, industrial work, etc, and
it is probable that her instruction will
be the most intricate and most in
structive of any during the course.
| The training school will open at $50
each morning, and will continue in
session until 1890 p. NJ, at which
time it will adjourn for the purpose o.
giving students an opportunity fo1
rest and study. All proposed students
should be sure and bring the required
books, and those who desire boarc
should drop line to Supt. Race al
once.
Mr.. Race, together with the Other
teachers of the training school, have
been attending the educational associ
alton convention at Washington dur
ing the past week, and will probably
return home during the latter part o.

UNREASONABLE CENSURE.
From the Washington Post.

Abuse of congressman because they
have endeavored to secure early action
on pension claims of their constituents
is uniustifiable, and, therefore, uncalled
for So long as a congressman asks for
no violation or straining of law, but
confines his efforts in the matter of pen
sions to a fair presentation of facts, his
activity may justly be attributed to good
motives. There Is nothing wrong, moth
ing that is not really commendable, in
asking the pension bureau to take up a
particularly meritorious case out of it's
turn. If a congressman knows that an
applicant, a soldier or a soldiers widow,
is in distress, suffering for the neces-
saries of a decent existence, he does
manly thing in writing or going or send
ing his secretary of the pension bureau
to ask that the case be expedited. There
are thousands of applicants who can
wait for the adjudication of their cases
without serious inconvenience. There
are thousands of pensioners, many of
them of the most deserving class, hav-
ing an empty sleeve or wooden leg,
who would never have known want had
their country denied them pension. But
many of the pensioners are very poor,
and many Of those who now have appli-
cations on file are in destitute circum-
stances. Should a congressman be abused
as q public enemy If, when one of these
poor creatures asks his aid in getting
early consideration of his or her case, he
promptly complies with the request?
o
The time has been when many of the
leading statesmen in both houses of con-
gress have made a speciality of attending
to the requests of the veterans in rela-
tion to pensions. Does anybody think
the worse of John A. Logan and Daniel
w. Voorhees, because they were active
in behalf of pension claimants? Did the
people of their respective states blame
them, or did their national reputation
suffer by reason of such activity?
The Post has no doubt that there are
too many names on the pension roll. 1t
has no doubt that congress has been too
liberal in special pension legislation, and
1t believes that the general pension act
of 1890 opened the door for thousands of
the undeserving to get their names on
the roll. 1t believes, too, that thousands
of the undeserving have taken advan-
| tage of that act; that thousands who
were not injured in the service, and are
| quite able to make good living, are
| drawing pensions on the ground that
| they are not able to support themselves
| "by manual labor" But all this should
not be permitted to work to the injury
of meritorious applicants. The legisla-
| tive mistakes of congress cannot be
remedied by reckless defamation
| against the pension roll or by assailing
| congressman for giving kind attention
| to appeals from the old soldiers and their
widows to expedite action on their
| claims.

A Temperate People.

gallons per head in 1885 to 29.5 gallons

A Deserved Rebuke.

Dr. Guiteras, of Philadelphia, who
is prominent in the councils of the
Cuban patriots, offers a thought in
reference TO the de LONE letter which
is both timely and to the point. II do
not hesitate" says he, 'to say that we
are, ourselves, TO blame for the boor-
ish conduct of the foreign representa-
tive. We have confirmed and per-
nicious habit of speaking in disparag-
ing terms of our public men and our
institutions l have no doubt that Mr..
de Lone has found in this country
willing ears for such statements as he
makes in his letter, if he has not
pressions from American lips. Free
dom of speech is a great thing. The
faults of our public men should be
pointed out openly and without fear
Specific charges should be made, where
there is a foundation for them. But
there is vast difference between this
and the loose generalizations we hear
so frequently. Men in office seem to
be honored for a moment by the pop
ular vote, only to be vilified afterward
as public criminals. We lack patriot
ism. If we do not love and honor our
ers to respect them"
The rebuke is deserved 1t is one,
too, that the circumstances of the
case render doubly pointed, coming
from a representative of the class
which might most naturally be dis
posed to feel dissatisfied with the ex-
ecutives course in regard to Cuba.
1t needs to be said however, that
since the' publication of the de LONE
letter most of the radical critics of
President Mckinley and his admins
tration have grown ashamed of their
attitude and are now learning modera-
tlon. An exception must be made in
behalf of one of these, a minister of
the gospel Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr.,
who on Sunday in the Academy OF
Music in New York, read from manu-
script these words, and more like
them:
When a government gets down as low
in the mire as ours has in the last two
years it is pretty hard to kick it hard
enough to make an insult felt. We
are sick of the whine of stock iobbers
and pedlers WHO tell us through theil
pusillanimous press that we are not pre-
pared for a war with Spanish braggartS
who, unable to conquer a handful of Gu
bans, show their prowess by penning VI
women and children and starving then
TO death. The day has come for a genu
inc revival of national faith and patriot
ism.
The day for that revival has certain
ly come, but its coming has not beer
helped by the kind of swagger which
uses abuse and calumination as it,
readest stock in trade.
