WATER MAIN EXTENSION.
Work Commences Tomorrow on
the Minnesota Avenue Line.

The work of extending the water
main system on Minnesota avenue
from Fourth street to Ninth, and
on Wyoming from Minnesota to
Ramsey, and on Ramsey for a half
block in order to furnish the south
western portion of the city with
water, will commence tomorrow, a
gang of about 30 men having al
ready been engaged by Aid. Melges
and Caswell of the water works
committee to do the ditching, which
is to be done under the direction of
Supt. Parkhill of the water works
system. Aside from the extension
named above there will be a water
main placed on on Fifth street from
Lincoln to Jefferson street.
The contract for furnishing the
pipe and all other supplies, consist
ing of hydrants, elbows, etc., that
are called for in engineer Loweth S
plan of extension has been awarded
to Crane & Ordway of St. Paul, who
are to receive ST. ,448 for the same.
The committee estimates that the
bitches can be dug and the pipes
laid for about $4O0, making a total
expense of the extension amounting
to 81, 849.
The extension, although planned
on Minneaota avenue, is made on
Ramsey street on account of the
need of water for fire protection in
that district, a fact brought out
through the fire on the Mark How
ard premises week ago last Sun
day. The extension for a block
from Lincoln to Jefferson on Fifth
is being made at the request of the
people owning the largest amount
of property on either side of the
street.

MR.. ARNOLD'S DISCOVERY,
Thinks that the Second District
Representative is Wrong.

To THE EDITOR: Your cOntem-
porary of Redwood Falls must feel
great relief after the deliverance Gin
his Sept. 9th number) of his lick
spittle editorial of fulsome adulation,
of the man who misrepresents the
interests of this district in Con-
gress. Such flunkeyism shows
either a craven spirit, grovelling on
his knees in the dirt for favors re-
ceived, or such dense ignorance
that it is thicker than Egyptian dark
ness. He speaks of McCleary's
mind as being broad and Deep and
also his great grasp of the money
question, while facts clearly prove
that the man is either as ignorant
as an ass is of the money question,
or else he is a consummate knave
and traitor to the best interests of
the people who sent him to Con-
gress, for his record proves that
since his advent in Congress he has
worked for the enslavement OF the
millions of this country, to the
National Bank. To illustrate:
quote to you a circular letter from
the English banks to the banks of
this country when our National
banks were first established in '63.
slavery is likely to be abolished
by the war power, and chattel slav-
cry destroyed. This, I and my
European friends are in favor of, for
slavery is but the owning of labor,
and carries with it the care of the
laborer, while the European plan,
led on by England, is capital
control of labor, by controlling wag-
es. This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt that
capitalists will see to it is made out
of the war, must be used as a meas
ure to control the volume of money.
To accomplish this the bonds must
be used as a banking basis. We
are now waiting to get the secretary
of the treasury to make this recon-
mendation to Congress. It will not
do to allow the greenback, as it is
called, to circulate as money, any
length of time, for we cannot con-
troll them. But we can control the
bonds, and through them the bank
ISSUE" Now, this letter reveals
much to the student of political
economy, and the facts of history
confirm the following deduction:
LIST. That Europe is run by the
money power, that kings and queens
while nominally rulers, are but it's
puppets. I'd. That the European
money power has learned to take
the earnings of it's wage slaves,
without mourning the responsible
ity of the chattel slave owner, as it
invests no money in buying the
wage slave and the poor slave is

FIRST GRADE TEACHERS.
Can't Get Enough of Them to Sup.
ply the Demand Here.

Supt. Race reports that prosperity
is bad thing on the country school
districts wanting first grade teach.
ers. The first grade teachers are
in such demand that they are in.
sisting on prosperity wages, and as
a result Mr.. Race cannot secure
enough first grade teachers to fill
the demand.
At the present time four country
school districts in Redwood county
wanting first grade teachers have
no one in sight, while number OF
others are in doubt. They are offer
ing $40 per month for first grade
teachers, and one of the districts is
Offering to pay car fare both ways
for the teacher, while still another
district has offered to pay $42 per
month, without being able to secure
a teacher. Another district has
offered $50 per month for four
months and $40 for four months,
but no one has responded to the
demand.
GA year ago." said Mr.. Race to a
GAZETTE reporter Friday morning,
Il could write over into Wisconsin
and get first grade teachers out OF
any of the three Normal schools
there to fill the demand of the dis
tricts in this county wanting first
grade teachers, but now the re-
spouse to my letters from Normal
school presidents, are few. Here
are few of them. You can see
that about all of them want $50 per
month for the full term, and l have
no authority to pay over $40 for
most of the districts, one Offering
$42, another making the $40 and $50
offer, and a third Offering to pay
car fare.
This scarcity is brought about
not only by the demand for good
teachers, but also the demand for
help in other trades and professions
which can be filled by teachers al
better salaries than school districts
are now paying, and with the as.
surance that the work will continue
the year around, while teachers
only secure from eight to nine
months work, and are obliged tt
put in the balance of the year study,
ing up their work for the ensuing
year, or remaining in idleness- al
any rate without receiving a salary
for the vacation.
Certainly, the present time is L
good one for the holders of SECOND
and third grade certificates to b.
industrious and work until they
are able to secure and hold frs
grade certificate. AS long as time.
continue good salaries must be pait
to teachers, and if the latter con
tinue to engage in other pursuit!
there is bound to be q good field fol

whether the conditions are good o.
bad.

We greatly regret the nomination of
Julian Bennett, circuit judge of this
circuit, by the fusionists for the su-
preme court bench. In the first place
Judge Bennett is too broad and patriotic
a man materially, to run on the narrow
and>un-American platform on which he
has been placed, and we are really sur
prised that he consents to do 80. And
again, Judge Bennett is very popular
personally, and this fact might bring
about his election. Should he be elect
ed he would make an excellent official,
but the third circuit court would be
compelled to dispense with his services
which would be losing considerable to
gain nothing, for we do not believe
that his election would improve the
wisdom, intxerity or general efficiency

ABSOLUTELY SHAMELESS

The insolence and arrogance Of the
}cabal of moneyed men who are using
the administration to further their
schemes of exploitation is OF such q
brutal character that they hesitate at
nothing that promises to give them
an additional dollar or render their
power more formidable. This class ID
one of the products Of this age Of ram
pant commerclalism. They are i'm
pervious themselves to moral forces,
and are seemingly oblivious to the ex-
i95ance Of such forces. Hence the
cosrseness Of their methods and such
utter lack Of shame that they have
thrown aside much Of the hypocriti-
cal cant formerly used to disguise
their purposes. Tho gang that is hold
ing sway and directing the administra-
tion under Mckinley are 90 destitute Of
morality and virtue themselves that
they fail 70 recognize these qualities In
others. Tho wholesale murder Of an
unoffendinR people on the opposite side
Of the earth for no crime whatever, ex-
cept love for liberty and . willingness
to make sacrifice for the same, even to
offer up their lives, IL shocking to
Christians and Americans. The heart
Of humanity bleeds. and the chorus Of
joy which for more than . century
welled forth from the universal soul
of mankind is shocked by sorrow and
grief at the thought that the American
republic may become an apostate to
liberty. Answer, Americans: Shall
the fatherhood of man no longer have
an abiding place among the nations!
Is the new dispensation which de-
throned brute force and enthroned
moral forces TO disappear from the earth
Are schools and churches failures? Is
God myth, liberty a phantom and
reason delusion? Is it natures cruel
decree that all the nobler instincts of
nature are to be dwarfed beneath the
lordly sway of greed for gain and lust
for power Watchman.
