A POSTAL BILL.

During the latter part of last week
q remarkable document was filed with
the, clerk of court of Redwood county,
The Offices of sheriff, register of deeds
and clerk of court are fee Offices in
Redwood county, the persons filling
them receiving pay for every stroke of
work they do-whether for the county
or a private citizen. Some time ago
the three officials put in good sized
bills fot postage stamps used to con-
duct tho affairs of their Offices, but for
which they we're receiving fees. The
county commissioners commended that
inasmuchI as the county was paying
these officers for each piece CT work
they we're doing for the county, and
that the county was receiving no part
of their fees the officers should pay
their own postage and rejected their
bills. The three officials, Messrs.
Pease. Cobleigh and Warner employed
A. G. Dolliff ID fight the commissioners
on this matter and make the county
pay their postlge. The remarkable
document filed with Clerk Warner
during the laltlr part of last week
was an order from Judge Webber
compelling the commissioners to allow
the postage BILL, The order is based
on q statutory p|ovision, and while
Attorney Dolliff ID Ito be congratulated
on knowing Minnaota law so we'll,
it does seem that cpunty officials, re-
ceiving fees for their work, should
pay their own postage.

France has been enjoying another
sensation in connection with the Drey-
fus case. Col. Henry of the army,
who was one of the principal witnesses
against Capt. Dreyfus, sent to a
French Island prison for life on the
charge of having impaired army
secrets to representatives of foreign
countries, committed suicide one day
last week, after having admitted that
he forged letter which was used as
having been written bv Dreyfus in
order to clinch the testimony against
that unfortunate officer. AS a result
of this suicide and confession it now
seems that Capt. Dreyfus' trial will be
revised, and that he will be given his
liberty after having served four years
in prison pens. The whole proceed
ing will shake France from center to
and many predict that
q civil war will grow out of this army
scandal, in which officers of an army
have perjured themselves in order to
convict and deport brother officer,
whose only crime was that of being

No merchant can afford to advertise
in paper having 800 less circulation
than another paper simply because
the first paper is ten per cent. or more
less in it's advertising rates. 1t is con-
siderably like investing in goods he
knows he cannot sell, but buys just
because they are offered to him cheap.
The merchant who uses the paper
with the largest circulation at a fair
rate of advertising is the man who
will see the best results of advertising.

The Truth About the Maine

Capt. Gronewald a retired officer OF
the German navy, saw the mine plant
cd which blew up the Maine. Our div
ers have discovered a piece of the cleo
trical shore connection. The buoy to
which the ship was tied had never
been used by any vessel before since the
day the mine was installed. Just be-
fore the accident Capt. Sigsbee
asked permission to move his vessel,
being satisfied that he was over dan
gerous ground. His request was grant
ed, to take effect the next day, but
not with any idea of allowing him or
his ship or crew to escape destruction.
a few hours after his application the
mine was exploded by a Spanish Of
fetal under orders from the supreme
authority.
This is the bare truth, and the re-
port of the Maine Board of Inquiry will
show it unless, as there is some sus-
picion afoat, it is to be carefully edited
and expurgated before submission to
Congress- We are glad on account of
that suspicion that the Senate investi-
eating committee has been given au-
thOrity TO send for persons and papers.

OUR INTEREST IN CUBA.
1t Was Set Forth as Paramount in
a State Paper by Edward Everett.

In the researches made into the history
of Cuba. both as regards its relations to
the United States and to other countries.
there has been found incontestible ground
for the assumption that the United States
has a superior interest in Cuba to any
other nation, and that whenever in the
course of events the Spanish possession
should be shaken, the United States would
be entitled by what might be termed
'.the natural right of nations to shape
the islands future.
For this contention there is the most
abundant support. but none which is so
striking and conclusive of our right than
that which is found in the history of the
diplomatic negotiations on the part of
| France and England in 1852 to bind the
United States to a compact which would
forever settle Cuba's destiny. These ne
gotiations were begun under the Admin
istration of President Fillmore. while

of England. During the tendency of the
| negotiations for the tripartite agreement
| Daniel Webster died and it fell to the lot
of Edward Everett. his successor. to de-
| clare the position of the United States
with regard to the overtures made by
| England and France.
The proposed tripartite agreement on
| the subject of Cuba was rejected by the
| United States, and in his letter giving the
| reasons why the United States would not
| enter into such a compact Mr. Everett
| furnished a document which is declared
| by Wharton, the recognized authority on
| international law 10 be one of the great
! est State papers ever penned. The ground
! on which Mr.. Everett declined to com
nit the United States to the proposed
| policy with regard to Cuba was our ''su-
| perior interest in that island; and the
| necessity which by reason of its near
! ness to our shores, might in the future
| compel us, for the preservation of our
| own interests, to assert a voice in its
! affairs. So ably. so eloquently did Mr..
| Wharton in his Digest on International
Law, referring to this paper of Mr.. Ev-
! erett says:
For wisdom and eloQuence it is unex-
| celled by any paper that has ever issued
from the State Department" 1t main
