NO COMPARISON.

The receivers of the Baltimore q
Ohio railroad, having turned the road
over after three successful years OF
handling it, in which they put 1t on
nrosperous basis, leaving it without any
floating debt, and with substantial
capital leads the Chicago Journal to
remark that there is in this lesson IN
Sbe government ownership OF rail-
roads It thinks if a road can be SO
successfully handled by agents OF the
Government; if road can be taken IN
disorganized and demoralized condl-
ton. and despite the fierce competition
of powerful rivals, be put in way OF
Incoming a profitable enterprise, that
it cannot longer be successfully main
+ained that government ownership of
railroads would necessarily be fall
IRE. as the courts are a part OF the
government and the receivers are OIL
GERS of the courts. And so the Journal
holds that it is no longer good sense to
say the government shouldn't hold rail-
ways, because it can't. There Is one
important feature which the Journal,
and all who argue along the same line,
-7verlooks, and that is that the receiver
ship of railroads and government own
ership of railroads are two entirely diff
ferent propositions, The first is simply
an agent for the court to carry out and
execute it's mandates. The road in no
sense becomes government pro.
nerty nor handled by it. Its
employees are private citizens just
as they were before. 1t is simply
a business proposition. But supposing
government acquired the road and
operated it. The property would not
then be operated through an officer ap-
pointed by the courts, but would be
managed by a department especially
Organized for that purpose. Such a
DEPARTMENT so far as its head would
he concerned would not be free from
political pressure, and here the trouble
would begin. There is no politics in a
receivership, there would be more or
less of it in spite of the most strict
civil service system that might be de-
vised under government ownership.

The Hundred Year Club.

A Hundred Year Club has been or
ganized. The object is to study the
conditions which promote longevity.
After much study and research its
members must arrive at the conclusion
that the only possible way to sattain
long life is to take the best care of
health. With all due respect, we
present the study of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters for consideration. This is
a tonic for one of the most vital organs
of life-th stomach. For fifty years
it has cured contipation, indigestion,
dyspepsia, biliousness, weak liver and
kidneys 1t makes strong stomachs,
rich red blood, and steady vigorous
nerves. If you accept substitute
don't expect it to cure like Hostetter' s
Bitters. See that private Revenue
Stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

1t is a noticeable fact that the
fusion press is is displaying great glee
over the retraction Of Senator Miller
as to what he said about the motives
which actuated Gov. Lind to veto the
bill authorizing the certitcation of
testimony that might be taken before
it to any court before which
an appeal might be taken,
but they carefully refrain from
going any further and speak OF
the senator's remarks on what he be-
lieves to be the erring in Judgment OF
the governor in the matter. They
would have the people believe that
Senator Miller had backed down
and left the field entirely, when

aminer Pope was entirely justified in
taking charge of the institution and
and applying to the court for re.
ceiver. The examiner does not
charge crookedness against the bank
officials, although he intimates pretty
strongly that the laws governing saw
ings banks have not been strictly
complied with. The principal cause
for Mr.. Popes action lies in the fact
that the bank was overloaded with
non-productive realty, and a conse.
quent shri1kage in earning capacity.
Investigation and careful appraisal OF
the assets Of the bank as compared
with the liabilities show an ex-
cess of the latter over the value Of
the assets of something over 5000, 900.
The liabilities amount to over 81, 1D0,-
900 with appraised assets Of some
thing over S., 900, 600. A judicious re-
ceiver, who is capable of administer.
ing the affairs of the institution in an
economical and business-like manner,
will likely be able to close up its az
fairs with small loss to depositors.

Is A CANDIDATE.
Mrs. B. D. Smith Would Serve Another
Term on the School Board.

Mankato, Mimi. July 10, '99.
Editor Free Press.
Dear Sir: Your issue of Saturday
evening conveyed the impression
that Mrs. Smith is not candidate
for reelection on the school board.
To her friends she has always been a
candidate and to those who have had
had doubts the subjoined telegra M
will be convincing.
Yours truly,
I. u. WEBSTER.
Tonka Bay, MIMI, July 9, '99.
DR.. I. d. Webster.
Mankato, Mimi.
l will accept another term on school
board If elected.
ALICE AYERS SMITH.
It had been the general impression
that Mrs. Smith did not care for an
other term, but it appears that this
was erroneous. She will no doubt re-
ceive strong support.
S. b Wilson's term expires in the
second precinct, and he told the Free
Press today that he would accept a
reelection, although he was not de-
sirous Of serving longer on the board.
1t is stated that Rev. Geo. H. Davis
has complied with the wishes of num-
Der of the voters in the third precinct
by finally consenting to accept the posi-
ton of member of the school board if
elected. Mr.. Davis is we'll qualified
and in a good position to look after
school matters.
