SELLING BONDS.

The cities of st. Paul, Minneapolis
and other cities have changed their
policy in regard to selling their bonds
to get needed money. The old way
was to sell their bonds to eastern par
ties and to the ones who would furnish
the money at the lowest rate OF interest
but after while they realized that
large sums of money had to be sent east
every year to pay interest as it fell due
and that this interest money might just
as we'll be kept at home. Now, when
they want to dispose of lot of bonds,
they sell them to their own citizens
even if they have to make the rate OF
interest little higher and in this way
the money is kept at home.
Mankato must soon sell lot OF bonds.
It is thought eastern parties will take
them at as low a rate of interest as 81
per cent. If eastern parties buy these
bonds Mankato can never collect any
taxes on them, and the point is to be
considered: Would it not be wise to
make these bonds bear a little higher
interest if necessary, say 4per cent, and
so get our own citizens to buy them? Ii
that was done the city could afterwards
assess them against the owners at 100
cents on the dollar and collect back
about per cent. as taxes, so that the
city would really be getting its money
at only about one per cent year.

WAGES Go UP.
Employees of the Citizens Telephone Co.
Made Happy.

The officers and directors of the Man
kato Citizens Telephone 20. ma lie
their employees glad by action taken at
a meeting last night Without pre-.
vious notice and without having been
solicited to do so, they raised the
wages of all of the employees. Supt G..
K. Willard got raise from $50 to s75 a
mouth, the head operator from $25 to
$50, the day operators from $1S to $50,
the supply from s12 to s15, and the
night operator a raise of s. month.
This generous action on the part of
the company will be repaid by the
loyal service of the employees and by
the appreciation which the public has
for such acts. The company has been
prosperous from the start, and all will
wish it continued success.

BONDS HELD UP.
Some of Those Accepted by the City Are
Not Stamped.

John A. McCabe, an internal revenue
agent, was in the city Tuesday. He
called at the city hall and asked to see
the bonds given by saloon keepers, con-
tractors, city officials, and others since
the war revenue act went into effect.
Recorder Williams produced them, and
after giving them careful examina-
ton Mr.. McCabe threw out twenty-one
that did not bear a fifty-cent revenue
stamp, as required by the law. The
revenue agent told Mr.. Williams to no.
tify the parties who had given the
bonds to call at the city hall and aff1x
the stamps. 1t is very likely that these
parties will respond with alacrity. as
they will not desire to have Uncle Sam
take fall out of them. Hereafter, it
is likely that more care will be exercised
in accepting bonds, as they are not eff
fective unless stamped. The bonds
thrown out included those given by a
surety company

A FINE ADDRESS.
Rev w H. Weaver Speaks to a Large
Audience Tuesday Evening.

In spite of the threatening weather
Tuesday, the Presbyterian church
was well filled to listen to the address
of Rev. w. II, Weaver on the progress
of the negro race of the south. Mr..
Weaver travels sand speaks in the in
terest of the Freedman board OF the
Presbyterian church, and is himself
splendid representative of what educa-
ton will do in lifting up the negro
race. His remarks were finely illustrated
with stereoptican views, showing the
various educational institutions of the
south under the direction and care OF
the Presbyterian church, types OF the
race, their cabins, etc. He gave his
tory of the building up of Biddle Uni
versity at Charlotte, North Carolina.
AS an insight into the work which is
being done in the south to elevate the
negro race, the address and its illustra-
tions were certainly an eye-opener to
any one who has not been keeping In
close touch with what is going on there.
The examples which he called atten
ton to, of negroes born!in slavery, who
worked their way up under great OBJ
stacles, and obtained a college educa-
ton, shows that the race is capable of
great progress if given chance. A
great work is being carried on in the
south in behalf of negro education, but
it is hardly yet begun. But the hun
dreds of students now being educated
and annually being sent out among
their people must soon have telling
ling effect upon their condition. Mr..
Weaver stated that many of the fine
buildings reproduced in his views were
built by negroes showing that they have
plenty of skill, if rightly guided. One
feature in the schools he particularly
spoke of, and that was that in base ball,
and other athletics, the students were
not allowed to indulge unless they had
attained an average standing of IS. a
feature which he thought might be
adopted with advantage in colleges for
the education of the whites.
