given to the case. and he is ready 10 give

asked Judge HaZen to extend the time.

Grand Jury.s.Report..

The grand jury submitted it's report
to the district court on Friday evening,
and it indicates that the affairs of the
county are Northumberland The
following is the full text of the report:
TO the Honorable b. B. Sear3e, Dis
trict Judge.
We, the grand jury of StearHs coun-
ty for the general November, 1899,
term, of district court, do respectfully
report that we have duly considered
and disposed of all criminal matters
brought before as of which we had iur-
isdictiOn. We examined the county
| Jail and interviewed the prisoners con-
fined therein, and find that the jail is
kept in a clean and orderly manner,
and they all claimed they received kind
4 treatment from Sheriff Schilplin; and
that the cell room and accommodations
j for prisoners are good, and there seems
to be ample room for all prisoners
likely to be confined in the jail of this
. lcOunty.

Sauk Centre needs new char

Sauk Centre needs a new char
ter. The present one is mass OF
inconsistencies, wholly inadequate,
and the city council does wisely in
ignoring many of its provisions.
That it has served its purpose as
we'll as it has is due to the fact
that there has been no occasion to
appeal to it, or its authority. This
condition of things is neither satis-
factory nor safe. A condition or
emergency may arise at any time
when strong, positive, ,clearly-de-
fined and carefully drawn charter
will be all-important. And now is
the time to frame it that it may be
ready ior submission in the spring.
Alderman Bennett moved along
right lines year ago, and but for
little technical law point his work
in securing a commission would
have been effective. That techni-
cality has been disposed of now
will he not re-undertake the work?
He may be assured in advance of
the hearty cooperation of all good
citizens.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1899-11-23

great credit for these improvements,
as there seems to be adequate room to
do the county business and the safe
keeping of the public records.
We would recommend that the cells
in the jail be painted a lighter color,
say gray or light drab, at least lighter
than they are now, so they will look
and be more cheerful
We also wish to report that, so far as
we are able to ascertain, all the officers
of the county are performing the du-
ties of their respective offices in a ca
pable manner, as required by the laws
of this state.
We further report that the grand
jury unanimously voted their thanks to
the county attorney, J. d. Sullivan, for
the courtesies extended by him to the
grand jury during the term, and for
the careful manner in which he pre-
sented and attended to the various
matters requiring his attention.
Also for the attention and kind and
watchful care of Deputy Sheriff John
F. Dimond, while the grand jury was
in session. i. Z. ALDEN,
w. D. TOWNSEND, Foreman.

The czar of all the Russians is

Gently he made an attempt to borrow
money in Prussia, but was refused

OF Russia then 1 would issue all the
money l needed in my business, build
my railways, naval stations, fortifica-

with my own money and I would let
my people have enough money to make
them prosperous. Alexander could do
that and be independent of the money
loaners and thus preserve his self-re-

ANTI-EvERYTHING.

senator Mccarthy of Grand
Rapids, using as a text an express
sion of Hon. Charles A. Towne:
"Not anti-expansion, but anti-im-
perialism," writes keen article TO
the Duluth News Tribune, in
which, among other things, he
says:
In 1896 the democratic party said we
never could have good times without
free silver, that is to say, without the
democratic party. The country would
not have the democratic party nor free
silver, and good times came right along
with the republican party; and now the
democrats say that it is all delusion,
dream, 'sa painted ship upon paint
ed ocean," To the man receiving $50
per month where he received only S15
in good old democratic times they say
ssyou are poor deluded man, we pity
you.'' If the man replies, "are not
these good times?" they wag their
heads in sorrow and look volumes but
say nothing. Upon their faces are
spread tablets of unutterable thoughts.
One year ago last March they
damed Mckinley because he would
not begin war, now they damn him be-
cause he will not back out of war. One
year ago last March Mckinley was a
weak, vertebraless man, now heis an
autOcrat with too stiff backbone.
Because they could not drive him
year ago, they called him weak, be-
cause they cannot drive him now, they
call him an imperialist. This is good
democratic doctrine. s'WeH damn
you if you do, we'll damn you if you
DON'T We don't know what you
ought to have done; we don't know
what you have done; we don't know
what you are doing; we don't know
what you intend to do; we don't know
anything, but we'll just howl. If we
do know anything it is this, ''we're
anti; we're agin ye.' sYou're imper-
al; we're anti-imperial. :"
Imperial, well that is good, good and
quite correct. The republican party
is imperial. 1t was imperial from 1860
to 1865 when it preserved this union
and struck the chains of slavery off
4, 100000 men. 1t was imperial in its
efforts to remove every scar of civil
war. 1t was imperial in it's achieve
ment in restoring and preserving
the credit of this nation. It was inn
perial in the conception of American
commerce, American production, Amer
lean trade, American industry. It was
imperial in it's efforts to develop the
Industries of this country. 1t is i'm
perial in its achievements in taking
this nation in the year 1895, then in
the very depth of the industrial ruin
and business paralysis, and lifting it in
,wo years to the sublime heights of in
lustrial prosperity and business ac-
,ivity, the greatest the world has ever
'een. With genius imperial, the re-
publican party touches the silent fac
ories, the smokeless chimneys, the
,aralyzed business, the ruined indus
ries, the industrial death of this ma
ion in the year 1895 and 10! they
