cancer, after an illness of eleven

farm, which he opened and improved
with comfortable buildings and kept

OF the community and enjoyed the con-
fidence of his neighbours, being elected

The disclosures of favoritisfn, if not
actual fraud, in the Wisconsin State
administration should be a lesson to
officials in other states. The doodle
book showed that the State treasurer
was in the habit of advancing large
sums to State officials on their pros
pective salaries, and sensation was
the result. No State official has a
right to draw a cent of salary until he
has earned it, and no properly con-
Quoted office would permit the pay
ment of any money under such circum-
stances. To be sure the State suffered
no financial loss, but there was always
the possibility that it might have done
SO, and therein lies the culpability of
the officials. Minnesota has been hap
PLY exempt from any such scandals
Long may she remain so.

LETTHEM COME HOME,

Spain has swallowed her pride and
surrendered to 1.-THE superior forces
of America : While peace has not
been formally declared the: sevacua-
ton of the Spanish possessions renders
it unnecessary for US to keep so large
an army. The Minnesota. regiments
which have been stationed at Chica-
manga have seen no service because
the political pinhead, who is supposed
to fill chair in President McKinley's
cabinet, willed it otherwise and now
that all chances for getting into the
trouble are passed nine-tenths of the
men are anxious to come home.
When our gallant boys enlisted
many of them left families, business,
and profitable situations to go to the
front. Their salaries in the army
range from $3.50 to $50 per month &C.
cording to the rank attained. Is it
fair to keep these men on this pittance
when their families and business in
terests demand their return? The
Yankees are fighters when the occa-
sion demands it, but when peace
spreads her wings their disposition
changes and they long for home life.
Let the boys come home.

DARE WILL RUN,

We are glad to be able to announce that A.
N. Dare will consent to permit his name to be
placed on the legislative ticket for this district
thus relieving the strained situation that has
prevailed since the legislative convention. In
thus yielding to the urgent wishes Of his multi
tude of friends in Anoka county, Mr. Dare has
been most generous and magnanimous. It has
never been his wish to be a candidate for the
house this year, but he has finally consented to
accept the nomination as the only means of
harmonizing the Republican party in the dis
trict and re-establishing that good feeling
which is so essential to it's success. We pre-
dict for MIR. Dare an especially brilliant career
as member of the house for this term. His
experience during his previous terms and the
friends he has made will smooth his way in
many respects. All who knew him then will
be glad to welcome him back, and there will be
no more worthy member Of the legislature of
1899 than A. N. Dare of Elk River.-Anoka
Herald.
The UNION most heartily commends
Mr.. Dare for his decision. He was not
a candidate for a seat in the house
this year but desired to b. the senator
from this new district, and was clearly
entitled to it. Sharp practice by some
ungrateful wretches defeated him and
the feeling was so strong that it
threatened disaster to the party
at the polls. By conserving to repre-
sent 'Sherburne county and the dis
trict in the lower house this winter he
has done much to bring back the feel
ing of goodfellowship which: has
hitherto prevailed and insured the sue
cess of the Republican ticket at the
polls. The UNION takes off it's hat to
a man who can lay aside all personal
feeling when it comes to question of
party success, and predicts that Hon.
A. N. Dare will receive the largest
majority of any Legislative candidate
on the ticket.

Lightning's Work.

At two o'clock last Saturday morn
ing, during a thunder storm, lightning
struck the house of Mrs. Mary Rottier,
about four miles southwest of Prince
ton. The inmates were all asleep but
the shock awoke Mrs. Rottier, who
was somewhat bewildered on finding
that the house was on fire. She called
the hired man, Charles Camille, who
was up stairs, but the flames spread SO
rapidly that nothing of consequence
could be saved. The fire spread to the
barn, granary and blacksmith shop,
which were consumed with all their
contents excepting the stock and a set
of harness. Mr.. Ganlie had hard work
to get the stock out of the burning
barn, but the last one was driven out
just as the burning hay from the loft
above commenced falling around him.
There was an insurance of about five
hundred dollars on the. property de.

REPUBLICANS will be slow to believe
that it is with any other than it's own
authority that the Minneapolis Times
assumes to be the personal mouthpiece
of the Republican candidate for gov
ernor. The Times has done everything
in it's power to weaken and overthrow
the Republican party, and Mr.. Eustis
knows it. We do not believe the
stories that are told of his connection
with the Times and it's editor, or that
he is willing to throw the rest OF
the ticket over for the support that the
Times is giving him. The Times,
knowing that it is a Republican year,
and having in mind the prestige which
itcould claim as the supporter of the
winning candidate for governor, has
probably buttoned itself onto Mr.. Eus.
It's coat without asking his consent.
and when it is all over will lay claim
to the credit of the victory.

OUR HOLIDAY.
Thanksgiving More OF a Day
Than Ever This Year.

If holidays are the outpourings of the
hearts joys and gratitude, then what
more gladdening and spontaneous holt
day can people have than the world
wide Thanksgiving?
Let the young people and the old ones
recall the past year with its trouble and
joys and see whether the great plea
sure of Thanksgiving and the gift Of
life does not by far outweigh the sor-
rows of the last year.
AS citizens, the American people have
much to be grateful for this year. AS
America stands forth now from the
background of nations as the brightest,
the most glorious and inspiring exam
pie Of a victorious cause, the year 1898
in the history of this country brings out
from the hearts of all citizens the most
heartfelt thanks and gratitude of the
events of the year.
The glad message Of this year bids us
on and on in the struggle for the right
and our victory makes the hearts of all
elated by the thought that darkness is
giving way TO light and men are be-
coming more free and happy than in
the years past.
The Americans have many things to
be thankful for, the greatest Of which
IS that the Cubans are now celebrating
aud are to celebrate many thanksgiv-
ings in the happy future of their coun-
try's progress.
Again and again the story of the Pill
grims' first Thanksgiving in 1921, at
Plymouth, has been told A picture Of

England scenes.
There was the blockhouse with its
few cannon, the men dressed in red
breaches, red waistcoat, and green or
sad-colored mandillions; a company of
Indians assembled, gay in holiday
paint and feathers, and fur; the few
sad, overworked, homesick women,
dressed in worn and simple gowns with
plain colts and kerchiefs, and the
pathetic handful of little children,
clinging around their mothers.
What a keen, striking contrast is this
gloomy picture to the prosperous,
cheerful Thanksgiving of today On
the evening preceding Thanksgiving,
may be seen in most large cities, and
also, though to a less extent, in most
country villages, that pleasant activity
and life that is witnessed in England

congestion in the poorer districts keeps
increasing at such a rate, that all the
efforts of the progressive county coun-
ell. which now has the affairs of the
great metropolis in charge, are almost
poWerless to keep pace with the prob
lens that keep ever arising.
AS yet London has no single system
Of water supply to meet its public and
private needs. Thanks to the absurd
aggregation of parish councils or YES
tries, which used to govern the great
hive of humanity, outside the city,
proper, horde of water companies,
large and small We're permitted to take
in charge the supplying of water in the
various annexed Cor absorbed) dis
tricts. The process of dislodging these
companies from their privileges and
merging the London water system I'M
der one department head, such as they
have in New York, has proved a slow
and costly pork, and it will be years
before the mighty town by the Thames
will be in line with the other large
cities of the world in this most import
ant feature.
Some idea of the state of things that
exists as the result of this want of sys-
TEN may be gained by few facts
about a water famine that recently Wis
tied the district known as East Lon
don.
The East London Water Company is
supposed to pump into it's mains a sup
ply equal to thirty gallons per head
per day. For some reason or another,
the supply was allowed to fall off in
volume, until, in many localities, the
inhabitants were not able to obtain a
quart per head per day. Those districts
are filled with tenement buildings, each
holding from ten TO a score Of fami-
lies, and in each house there is but one
faucet.
When the shortage came, this single
cock was only, in service at certain
hours of the day, and the SCRABBLE and
fight to get at the water during those
hours resembled the struggle for the
life boats when shin is sinking at
sea.
In one Court Sc people lived in ten
rooms. These SO people had but one
faucet between them all, and even this
was open only for a miserable drip Of
four hours out Of the tWenty-Topr.
Attempts were made at various points
to reopen old and disused wells, but in
most cases these were merely surface
wells, and it was feared an epidemic
would follow if the unfortunate peo-
pie used the water. The authorities
are doing their best to meet the Sit
uation, and they mean to compel the
water company to increase its service
or they win take it into court. But
meanwhile Sc people in 10 rooms, with
one faucet, and that serYfceable for
four hours in the day!
