spectator at the ringside last night
He said he did not see any blood

In little more than two weeks
John Lind will be inaugurated gov
ernor of Minnesota, and for the
first time since 1860 the executive
branch of the state government
passes out of republican admins
tration. 1t is the pride of the party
that during its long tenure no
definite charges of malfeasance
have ever been made, although the
opposition, as it felt to be in duty
bound, at every election has in
dulged in vague generalitles IN
which the words "extravagance, "
corruption" and general incapa-
city" have been conspicuous. The
democratic party, or the several
factions which by accepted fiction
of speech is so.called, promised the
voters such sweeping reforms as
would make everybody more than
satisfied with the change. Before
a reform is possible an abuse to be
reformed must be shown, and It
now remains for the new admins
tration to locate the abuses and ap-
ply the reforms. The HERALD
pledges itself to fairly recognize
the services of the reformers along
this line if any there be, and will
render whatever of assistance it
may be capable of doing. The
people await with interest.

The Paris peace commission has
concluded its labors. A treaty
has been signed which embodies
substantially all the claims made
by the United states. Cuba is to
be evacuated, Porto Rico, the Phil
lipine Archipelago and one of the
Ladrone islands coded to the Unit
ed States, and Spain to receive
$2O,OOO,0O0 in cash from the Unit
ed States to recompense her for
money expended in Improvements
in the. ceded territory. The treaty
was foughtin detail by the Spanish
commissioners although it was gen
orally conceded that the fight was
merelyfor the purpose of gaining
time in the vague hope that some
thing might occur WHICH would in
duce some other nation to inter-
vene in behalf of Spain, as also to
make a record for influence upon
the domestic politics of Spain. 1t
now remains for the treaty to be
ratified by the respective govern
ments to make it operative. That
Spain will not delay seems assured.
The senate alone is the treaty-mak-
ing power of this country, and it
is expected that considerable oppo-
sition to it will be developed, as
several influential senators are OPP
posed to trans-oceanic expansion.
1t will require two-thirds vote to
ratify, and it is believed that it will
be accomplished before the adjourn
ment on March 4th.

DIMOND- In Hartman, Tenn. on Sun
day., December IL, 1898, of pneu-
mOnia, Sarah L., relict of John Dr.
mond, aged Is years.
A mother in Israel has gone to her
reward. Mrs. Dimond was remark
able woman, and her life work has
been for the upbuilding of the king
dom of the Master, whose devoted SER
want she was. For a quarter of a
century her whole heart and soul was
thrown with energy into the cause of
temperance, being at the time of her
death secretary of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union of the State of
Tennessee. She will be remembered
here as one of the devoted members of
the Methodist church, and a diligent
worker, whose influence for good
was felt in an ever widening cir
Gle. A woman of the tenderest SYM
pathy, she was possessed of a strong
will and wonderful capacity for in
telligent work. Her Christian char
acter challenged respect, and she was
held in the highest esteem by all who
knew her.
She was born in Elmira, N. Y, her
name being Hollenbeck, and when
quite young she moved with her family
to Columbus, Ca, where she married
John Dimond in 1889. Immediately
after the war, in 1865, the family
moved to Minneapolis, and a year
later settled on a homestead near the
head of Sank Lake, where they resided
for years, and until the death of her
husband. when she moved to Sank Gen.
tire. While on the farm Mrs. Dimond
taught school, and regularly conduct
ed religious services and a Sunday
school at her home.
In 1890, with her son Samuel, then |
she removed to Hartman, |
Tenn, where she continued as of ne !
cessity, the active life which ~charac-
terized her here. She was the mother
of thirteen children, one dying in in
fancy in Georgia, one, Mrs. S. c. La
HIATT in Sank Centre, the rest surviv-
ing her-all respected and valued |
an honor TO her to whom
hey are indebted for their early train
ing. Surely they are constrained to !
rise up and call her blessed. Her son
Samuel. with whom she has been
making her home, is deeply afflicted. |
He lost one child very recently, an
other is very i'll, and his wife almost |
B ,yoad hope of recovery-all with
pneumonia.
The sympathy of a large circle OF
friends is extended to the family so !
,orely afflicted.

MINNESOTA has '6,O62 miles of
railroad, which cost on an average,
including terminals and equip
ment, $43,8Oo per mile. The roads
earned, gross, $37,142,OOO, and
spent $21,148,O0O for operating
expenses, exclusive of fixed
charges for interest, taxes, rentals,
leases, etc., leaving a surplus of
about sixteen millions with which
to meet these expenses and for
dividends. The net income avail
able for the payment of stock divi-
dends is six per cent.on the capital

that the net earnings are not as

ST. CLOUD expects to have an
other German paper in the near
future. A number of the "unter-
rifled' are not satisfied with the
Nordstern's politics and it is their
purpose to start a free silver pa
per in the the German language.
There is small encouragement tor
such an enterprise. In the first
place the free silver issue IS dead,
and the Nordstern is too firmly en-
trelihed to be fought out of the
field. If started, the Nordstern
will own the new plant inside Of

WHAT TO no?

second is natural corollary: How
90 do it? The statistics from all
branches of trade for the year just
closing indicate that the country at
large transacted more business dur
ing the year just closing than during
any other year in the history of the
nation. 1t indicates that the year 1899
will be one of intense activity in bust
ness circles, everywhere. What sig-
nifcance has this for Sank Centre?
Are we to secure our share of it, and
if so in what lines and how? In the
first place the indications are that
there will be a vast amount of rail
road building done in this state, and
Sank Centre, nearly the geographical
center of the arabic lands of the
state, is on or near the lines which
must be traversed by those highways
to reach desirable terminals.
The old roadbed of the Duluth,
Huron & Denver extends from Sank
Center to the southwest hundred
miles, lying in line with the shortest
route from the southwest, including
connection with the Union Pacific sys-
stem, and Duluth-the head of Great
Lake navigation. That roadbed is
destined to he valuable connecting
link in farreaching system. Again,
some time since company was Or
ganized for building road from
Kansas City northward to an intersec-
ton with the two great trans-conti-
mental systems, the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific, and Sank
Centre was named as the possible
northern terminal. 1t is fact that
Kansas City is not twenty-five miles
from the Sank Centre meridian, and
We are that much west of that city.
Such road will mean much to this
city.
Mr.. Hill is seriously considering
the advisability of tying together the
Willmar and Fergus Falls divisions
of his road by building northward |
from New Paynesville. 1t would seem
that Sank Centre would be the most
economical point to be reached by
such a cut off, in view of the fact that
the northern branch, extending now
to an intersection with the FOston
branch, would make a long, continu-
GUS line.
In view of these conditions and pros
poets il would be wise for our citi-
zens to show something more than
mere passive interest in these projects.
An Organized efSort On the part of
,ur business men would certainly
;end to enc ourage those directly in
crested to give this city serious and
perhaps favorable consideration.
Furthermore, the legislature is
about to convene, and in the absence
Of resident representative 1t will be
necessary for our people to look
sharply after anything that may be de-
handed of that body.
To the end of having these matters
properly cared for it would be wise to
either revive the old organization or
perfect new one that all may take an
interest in affairs which work for the
common veal and prosperity. Let a
meeting be called at an early date
and due consideration given to all
these questions.
