A glance at the municipal court
records will clearly demonstrate
that there has been no particular
revolutions in the actions of that
court. During Judge Baldwin S
long tenure of Office he always made
it point to ascertain whether a
convicted party could pay a fine,
and about how much, and his SEN
fences afterwards imposed were al
ways made with the idea of allowing
a prisoner to pay fine, rather than
go to Jail. Judge Baldwin points
with particular pride to the fact
that wherever possible he has al
ways saved the county the expense
of boarding prisoners that passed
through his court.

sary. The bill will have to 90 back
to the Senate for the purpose Of con-
curing in the amendments, after
which it will be passed up to the
Governor for his signature.
If our Senator and Representative
do no more this session, they will
have accomplished work in this one
bill that will entitle them to grateful
recognition by the people of this
State.

But two weeks ago came the news
that Page Morris Of Duluth was
selected as the Minnesota member
Of the Republican caucus committee
on finance, a position which the Sec
ond district representative had a
right to expect if his views on the
financial question are to be valued
in the least.
The admission of the weakness of
the Second district representative
comes from paper that has hereto
fore been strong McCleary organ,
and shows that the admission must
be an honest one with desire only
to do justice to all concerned. The
statement is here given in full, COM
ing from the Winnebago City Enter
prise:
The defeat in the National House of Rep
resentatives of McCleary's bill, financial
measure getting its name from its author.
is a serious one to Minnesota's second dis
trict member. It will be remembered that
Congressman McCleary made his last cam
paign very largely on this. his pet measure.
Following the above comes, the past week,
the appointment of Page Morris of Duluth,
as member of the caucus committee on
finance. Why this step? Has Congressman
McCleary lost his grip at Washington? If
so, what will be the effect upon his future in
this district He has stood as the leading
financier of this great nation. If he has
been thrown from this high position in
Washington what shall great agriculture,
district like the Second Minnesota do as to
his successor at the next election? At this
early date four very able men are promi-
nently mentioned in this connection. They
are Senator Bert Miller of Rock county and
editor of the Luverne Herald, Senator Geo.
w. Somerville OF Brown county, and very
able lawyer, Senator Dan Shell of Worthing-
ton, for three terms member of the Mime
sofa lower house, now a senator and one of
the most successful business men in the
Second district, while the present Lient-
Governor, Lyndon A. Smith of Montevedio,
and one of the best presiding officers the
Minnesota senate ever had, is being urged
by his friends to make the race. Certainly
there is no lack of the best material
The Enterprise might have added
the name J. F. Jacobson of Madison,
who has made an excellent reputa-
ton in the lower house of the legis-
lature, to the list of candidates who
would honorably fill the position of
representative from this Second
district.

AN ADV. CHAPTER.

The business man who expects to
have continued success without
advertising is probably the most
mistaken individual on the globe.
If he has no sharp competition in
his line in the community where he
does business he may make success
of it for awhile. But new dealer
will come, and he will 60 before the
public with advertising that has
the right kind of a ring, and the
non advertising business man will
commence to wonder why this or
that old patron who reads of the
other fellow S bargain has gone in
to the other fellow s store and comes
out with a package of goods. He
will wonder why his own business
has begun to fall off, and by and by
he will commence to run down his
town because he has failed to grasp
opportunity and is rapidly rushing
towards business suspension.
He is the business man who don t
know his business. He will see
his active newspaper push the town
forward, keep it before the public,
and always say good word for it.
He will neither contribute to it's
support. or help himself by taking
advantage of its advertising col
umns. He is the business man who
will invest S. in 1000 circulars, 500
in one cent stamps, and 81 in enve-
lopes to get before a patron just
once, where he could use the same
amount OF money and get before
many more patrons in a much more
interesting manner.

ADMITS HIS WEAKNESS.

That Mr.. McCleary's popularity
in the district is rapidly waning
and that his influence in the halls Of
the lower branch of congress is
rapidly becoming less is now adj
mitted by his friends, who are max
ing last desperate effort to bolster
him up before the people OF this
district, and the Mankato Free
Press, in a recent issue, contained
two column article piteously beg
ging for an oversight of the fact
that Mr.. McCleary has done nothing
in congress.
The withdrawal of the McCleary
currency bill-a bill which, if it be-
came law, would have the people
Of the United States up in arms in
six months after it was signed, was
the first intimation of our repre-
sentative's weakness in congress.

A FAIR PROPOSITION.

That is a fair proposition now be-
fore the Legislature tending to make
the rates for the transportion of
grain from all parts of the State to
the same terminal point essentially
equal. Here in southwestern Mime
sofa the rates are very much higher
on wheatand flax shipped to terminal
points than they are to those same
terminal points from northwestern
stations. In order to do justice to
the farmers of this section the rates
on wheat and flax should be reduced
at least two cents per hundred
pounds.
The general freight agents, repre-
senting the different railroads in
terested in the proposition to make
the rates more equal have agreed to
appear before the house grain and
warehouse commission on March
10Th, and present their case against
the bill, but Mr.. Larson and the
other members of the legislature
having charge of the measure, hope
to get favorable report from the
committee, and ultimately have the
bill passed by both houses. Ger
tainly the southern and southwest
ern Minnesota farmer should not
pay any more than the northern and
northwestern farmer in having his
grain transported to the terminal
points.

Our schoolmaster congressman S
greatness seems to have departed
forever, says the Fairmont Sentinel.
The Republicans, not satisfied with
having dumped his banking bill
into the waste basket, have admin
istered a still worse snub by leav-
ing him off the caucus committee to
frame new financial measure and
have substituted Morris of Duluth
in his stead. Bro. McCleary's po-
litical race is run.

CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS.
The GAZETTE, and we believe the
people of Redwood and Brown
counties, will extend their congrat-
ulations to Senator Somerville and
Representative Larson for their
magnificent work in securing the
passage of the.bill to place foreign
corporations on the same footing
withi Minnesota corporations, and
require the former to pay, as the
latter are now doing, proper fee
for the protection they receive in
return. 1.-The law will place about
500, 900 in the State treasury,
and it will come from these foreign
corporations.
Mr.. Somerville was the author of
the bill that passed the lower house
on Wednesday last, after passing
the Senate. It was one of the
first measures to be introduced
into the legislature, and Mr.. Somer
vile succeeded in hurrying it out
of the Senate committee, to which it
was first referred, on to general
orders, and thence on to the calen-
dar where it was passed with but
one or two dissenting votes, before
the corporations succeeded in or
ganizing against its passage. In
fact, Mr.. Somerville's work was so
quick and so clever, that the cor
poration representative were
simply caught mapping.
But in the house it was different.
After the bill had passed the Senate
there was only one alternative, and
that was to defeat it in the house,
where the final stand against cor
poration bill is seldom made, owing
to the large number of members
that must be seen. But stand
was made, and the opponents of the
measure lost no opportunity in
their. attempt to defeat it. Mr.. Lar
son was placed in charge of the bill
as soon as it came into the house,
and by a hard fight succeeded in
gettingsa favorable recommendation
from the, COMMITTEE by majority of
only one. Accomplishing this work
he succeeded in, getting the bill
made:a:special order for 1890 o clock
last Wednesday, when the house
resolved itself into a committee of
the whole for general discussion
Of the same. The opponents, nearly
all of whom are located in St. Paul
and Minneapolis, first attempted to
convince their colleagues that the
bill was entirely wrong. Finding
that the members were inclined to
believe. otherwise, they attempted
to tack amendments on to the meas
ure that would defeat the original
intention of the same. In this they
were routed, only two salutary
amendments being allowed by Mr..
Larson and his co-managers. After
four or five hours of heated debate
Mr.. Larson moved the previous
question and a call of the house.
Ten members were absent, but the
roll call was proceeded with, and
the bill was passed by vote of 62

DUEL IN THE DARK
Two Men Fought Desperately Over A
 Woman.

Waco, Tex, March 11.-As the result of desperate duel over woman, fought in a dark room tonight, Lee Pearson, a young man about town, is lying dead at the morgue and Ed Fogg, his slayer, is badly wounded and under bond to answer for his death. Fogg, who had been connected with the city street department for years, separated from his wife three weeks ago on account of Pearson, who was a con tractor. Pearson left the city for Q time, but returned recently and this evening met Mrs. Fogg in room in the Jones building.
 Fogg learned of his wife's whereabouts, and going to the room, was denied admit tance. He mounted to the transom and, striking match, saw Pearson and his wife within. Smashing the transom he sprang into tho room and as he touched the floor received a shot in the right shoulder from a Winchester rifle fired by Pearson.
 It was dark, but Fogg grabed for his rifle, and holding on to it with one hand succeeded in drawing his pistol with the other and pressing it against Pearson's breast, fired three times, killing him in- stantly During this desperate duel in the dark room, the woman ran to and fro, shreking wildly and passers-by on the street below were attracted to the scene When Pearson fell, Fogg unlocked the door and walked out, sufendering himself to the sheriff who had appeared on the scene He was released on bond and his wounds dressed. All the parties belong to good families and are well known in the state.

~THE PLAY@

Lew Dockstader, who has for years been acknowledged as one of the best of the very few good comedians on the American stage, has always been alone in his enter prises because he could never find part ner whose business methods coincide with his, or knowing of one has found him al ready in partnership with another. He has ever admired the methods employed by Geo. Primrose, and as soon as he learned that MT.

"The Highwaynlan"

Comic opera at O'Brien's Wednesday matinee and night will be a refreshing of- fering in the oyercroWded market of sem sational drama and vaudevillism. ''The Highwayman," DeKoven & Smiths new romantic comic opera, as presented by the Broadway Theater Opera company, headed by Camille D'Aryille, is to be seen for the first time here, and the event promises to create a stir among fashionable theater- goers.
 It has always been the ambition of De- Koven & Smith to write another Robin Hood," and from those who have seen 'The Highwayman' comes the assurance that in the new work they have achieved their de- sire. As Robin Hood' dealt with an out law of the Thirteenth century, so "The Highwayman" relates the adventures of gantlemanly robber in the romantic Geor- gian days, at the birth of the present cen- tury.
 The story of the opera leads ones inn aginat ation back to the time of wayside inns, in the scene of the courtyard of the Cat and Fiddle Tavern to the haunts of the masked freebooters in a scene on the old York road by moonlight, and to an old time Englishman's home, in the scene of the Park of Beverly Manor.
 A lively incident for comic opera Is the introduction of a stage coach drawn by four spirited roadsters. This is necessary to the telling of the story, which entails the adventures of a young lady of title, with one Dick Fitzgerald, "A gentleman of the road" who, when an officer in the army( lost all at cards and dice, and takes to robbing, an heroic calling in those days. Lady Sinclair has secured his pardon from the king, but it has been intercepted by the highwaymans enemy, and to secure it again she masks as a road agent, holds up the York mail. on which the villain is a passenger, and robs him of the precious document. The story Is not all in so serl- ous a vein, for there are counterplots, in which many comic characters are intro- duced. and situations of laughable quality. The opera is described as a play with well defined, continuous plot, embellished with melody of the kind that jingles mer- rily in the ears. The Broadway Theater
