in no sense should these possessions
be annexed or that we shall stand

to cause such views. Such cities

the country districts in intelligence.
I must admit that the negro pure,
is low type in civilization. What
the south needs is 100 Booker Wash
ingtons and 100 Tuskeegees. What
is needed is an uplift through
Christian education and no unrest

fitness is what the negro needs and
he must be taught it and he must
be able to manifest it or he will
never rise above his present social
position, which all sensibly minded
people admit, is not what should pre-
vail, but it's the best with existing
conditions, which can prevail.
The negro laborer on the wnarves
here, in the engine round house,
and on the railroad section is paid
the same wages his white compan-
ion receives. No negro ever sits
down to table to eat with a white
man. On railroad and street cars
and in railroad waiting rooms, sep
arate apartments are provided for
whites and blacks. This seeming
social inequality seems necessary.

The county superintendent seemed
surprised when told of how Red
wood county schools were supplied
with apparatus, good teachers and
the number of months of school.
This county has an average only of
five months. Rural schools however
pay more per month than does Red
wood. The county superintendent
here is more of a business superin-
tendent than supervisor of meth
DDS of instruction.
The city, however, is growing in
culture, broadness, in liberality of
political liberation. Last Saturday
at a gathering where fully 1900
were in attendance, a great shout
and handclapping took place when
"Old Glory" was exhibited. I

President Mckinley is not favora-

it to be similar task imposed to

feel here that this race question is

They feel that Cuba and Porto Rico

The right-of-way and townsite

cago & Northwestern railroad has
given orders to have all of the land
bought in sections 16 and 9, Vesta,
transferred from E. S. Korns to the
Western Town Lot Co., the town.
site department of the Northwest
ern system, and which company
has property in Morgan, Revere,
and other stations in this county.
While the matter of which line
is to extend to Vesta. and on west
or northwest, is being discussed by
the people in general, the latest
advices, received from semi-ofcial
source, are to the effect that the
extension will be made from San
born along the line of survey made
few months ago, a survey which
will probably be changed from Vail
township to section 16. This seems
all the more certain when it is con-
sidered that the Northwestern has
no survey on the north side of the
Redwood river from Redwood Falls,
although it owns the right-of-way
across the river to section 2, Red
wood Falls township, and that there
is no talk of such survey being
made. In fact, Land Commissioner
Cleveland has practically announced
that as soon as the Vesta townsite
was secured and the deeds on rec
ord to the Western Town Lot Co.,
work would be commenced on secur-
ing the right-of-way along the line
of the survey from Sanborn. The
only work that might indicate an
extension from Redwood Falls isl
the re-tracking and retieing of the
road between this place and Sleepy
Eye.
where is the road going to after
it reaches section 16, Vesta?" is a
question often asked. The only
survey west runs to about the
Archie Stewart farm in Underwood,
but it was not final survey, and it
is impossible to answer the question
accurately, or state whether the
road proposes to stop in Vesta.
Some railroad men are bold enough
to say that ultimately the Sanborn
extension and the Redwood stub
will form a junction at 16.
c. Werdenof arrived here Mon
day from Minneapolis, where he
has been to secure men for work on
the construction of the new road,
says the Sanborn Sentinel. He
expects to put on very large force
of men as soon as the weather per-:
mits. He has the contract for the
first 13 miles of the line. This be-
ing very large contract, many.
men and horses will be required, as
the work is expected to be completed
by the first of July. Mr.. Werdenoff
already has large force at work in
the hills south of this place, and has
removed considerable amount of
dirt which is hauled a long distance
by means of tram cars, of which he
has seven car loads. Mr.. Werdenof
informs US that his contract COM
mences at the east end of the G. &

will soon be well under way. He
is a contractor of many years ex-

WHAT THE FROST. DID
And What the New South Is Doing
to Progress.

DEAR GAZETTE: Just a tinge of
greenness is beginning to peep from
beneath the brown and scared jas
samine and other tender shrubs of
this locality. All day the mercury
has lowered around seventy degrees
above zero, with cloudy sky. The
natives say rain tomorrow. Too
bad, it is that old Boreas should
have come down here from his icy
home and laid his freezing hands
upon all that was so fair, or again
blown his frigid breath upon the
fair orange bud, The peeping pink
peach blossom and the fragrant
plum-all are now killed. The
thousands of bushels of pears and
plums shipped from this point an
nually, will not be this year. The
orange trees are killed to the
ground. No signs of life appear in
them. All others will recover.
The glossy green from the magnolia
leaf is gone. Here and there stands
one to show how much real beauty
these really possess. The farmers
loss in all early vegetables will be
enormous. Strawberries are on
the market at 40 to 60 cents per
box.
This place has about $4,000
people, half of which are black. It
contains various industries. It is
upon beautiful bay four miles by
30, perfectly landlocked, affording
an excellent harbor, one of the
safest on the entire coast. The
shipping industry is still important.
All nations trade here in lumber.
The lumber interest of Florida is
about $40, 600, 900 annually, of which
Pensacola is very important factor.
'Tis true, it is all hard pine. The
fish and manufactured ice industries
are very important, but by far, the
lumber interests give more men en-
ployment than all others combined.
Capitalists will at no distant day
build ships here. Here is the best
deep water harbor between Mobile
and New York, and north of here at
Birmingham lie immense quantities
of coal and iron. The cotton mills
of New England are moving into the
cotton fields. So too, will the ship
builders of the east move to where
all the material, facilities and advan-
tages are lying, awaiting develop
ment. The educational interests
of this section are much behind
dear old Minnesota. Here is city
of $1,000 people, which has but
seven months of school for white
and six months for blacks. It is
unsupervised and poorly taught by
unprogressive teachers. No teach
ers' meetings are held and no read
ing circles prevail. Free text
books and school libraries for each
building are as yet unknown.
! What the rural schools are no
one seems to know; shall need to
investigate personally. They admit
the poor condition of all rural work.
Few teachers hold first grade GER
tifcates, which are not equal to
northern States first grades in
scholarship. This city of $1,000
people has no public school library.
The entire county Escambia) pays
only $50, 900 annually for the sup
port of all it's school work. The
county has about 80, 900 people and
employs about 100 teachers. (white
and black). A few schools (rurals)
are supplied with Webster's Una
bridged International dictionary.
Stone slate blackboards have not
! yet found a place, even in this city.

Why Girls Don't Marry.

What is the reason so many girls do
not marry? Well, some girls are too
ambitious; they want rich or ia
nous husband and Will not marry Tor
love in cottage. Again, some girls
are shy and constrained, so afraid OF
seeming to run after men that they go
to the opposite extreme and almost
repcl them. They show to the worst
advantage in company, and though nice,
intelligent girls, they are ignored and
passed by.
Others are overlooked because they
will not fatter or nirt, will not give
a man even ordinary encouragement;
indeed, if they find themselves caring
for one man more than another among
their acquaintance, mistaken pride
prevents them from showing it, not be-
cause they arc stupid, but because OF
an unfortunate temperament which they
cannot overcome. Then there are those
girls who are so clever, such universal
favorites, so much in demand for every
occasion, that at length they awaken to
the fact that in enjoying society as a
whole, they have overlooked the indi-
vidual; their youth and heyday has
passed by, and they have string OF
admirers, but not lover among them.

England's Military Strength.

The calling out OF the English militia
is ostensibly for the purpose OF replcn-
islling garrisons drained OF regular
troops by the exodus to South Africa
At all times the British government
wants the home dcicrscs and the Mcdi-
tcrranean garrisons we'll maintained.
No doubt the officials are not unlnind-
full OF the effect OF mobilization upon
any European country that may be dis
posed to lend aid to the Transvaal, says
the Chicago Record
Great Britain's conspicuous strength
consists in its navy and its Notifications
In the war against the Transvaal, how
ever, neither will be OF much service to
it. Land forces are to be employed al
most exclusively and the British gov
crnment officials desire to give evidence
OF the numbers and efficiency Of its SOL
diers. The possible effect of this on
the strong military nations OF Europe
doubtless is no small consideration.
According to recent statistics British
military forces OF every sort, including
reserves, militia and volunteers at home
and abroad, number 74242I men. As
compared with the forces OF the mill
tary nations of Europe, this showing Of
numbers is not very formidable. The
number of commissioned officers

he undertakes to exercise his assumed
power; so must the intruder at Luzon.
For, said this same reasonable Ohio
congressman:
Power, it must be remembered,
which is secured by oppression or
usurpation, or any form OF injustice,
is soon dethroned We have no right,
i'll law OF morals, to usurp that which
belong to another-whether it is prop
crty or power"
That is, if we follow this wretch in
his pretended ethics, President OF the
United States has no right, in law or
morals, to usurp the power OF Congress
TO declare war, or carry it on What
nonsense! Has not the great Mckinley
been declaring and carrying on war for
six months with no authority from
Congress? And can the great McKin-
ley be supposed to have done what is
wrong in law and morals? Perish the
thought!
Oh, Gen. Otis, for heavens sake do
not let Aguinaldo get hold OF this Nc
Kinley speech of 1890! Keep it out OF
the mails, good postrnaster-gen 1t
would help Bryan, and we need not less
than 10000 soldiers at Manila to keep
Bryan from being elected next year.
With their aid, and that OF B. Cock
ran, Nathan Mathews, Jr,, and the RAM
apo Water Company, it is just possible
that the country can oc saved and the
Hanna Mckinley administration con-
tinued in power.
Our "jellyfsl imperialist' will find it
SO when he has had his short run as
swordfsh, and the tax-paying and
peace-loving voters get chance at
him. The talk OF this administration
"arbitrating" anything between England
and the brave little republics in Africa,
is like begging Beelzcbub to be settled
as pastor in Plymouth church. McKin-
ley and his crowd have gone over to
England's side and are practicing Grim
inal aggression" in Luzon as vigorously
as Chamberlain and Cecil Rhodes are
rehearsing for it in the Transvaal. That
is, they would be practcing it if Otis
had men enough to do more than hold
his own or had any conception OF how
campaigns are carried on. He is tower
ing and topping toward press CORE
spondents, but seems to be harmless to-
ward the fellow citizens OF Aguinaldo.
His hackers at Washington are brag-
ging of what great things he will do
when he gets 6o,ooo S6itliers, but just
SO they Dragged all las spring and the
early summer, only to have their boasts
falsified every week. Mckinley has got
his country into situation whence it
is impossible to emerge without dis
credit, whether his unconstitutional war
defeats the Filpinos or is defeated by
them.

Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and io few years ex- pect to see Ylma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town Of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides thu modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings int 4tenal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway C .4rizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes of tho country are at present turned, and as such,

But coupled with her gcograpbi- cal position we find that she is the center of "a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of v hich exceeds that of the delta Of tLe Nile, and wanting only water to become a paradise of bloom.
