N. K. HUNT, Henry Lee and Emmett
Mark are the Republican candidates
for the legislature in the 45th district.
If they are elected they will vote for
the return of Knute Nelson to the

should be incentive enough for every
Republican to accord hearty support
to the entire Republican legislative
ticket. Mr. Hunt is one of Sherburne

THE interests of Mile Laos county
were never better cared for by any
representative in congress than by
Page Morris. In point of ability there
is no comparison between Mr.. Morris
and Mr.. Truelsen. Even the most ar
dent friends of Mr.. Truelsen will ad-
nit that he is not as we'll fitted to rep
resent the great Sixth district in the
halls of congress as Mr.. Morris. In
all human probability William McKin-
ley will be reelected and both branches
of the next congress will be Republi-
can, and under such conditions what
could Mr.. Truelsen accomplish for his
district, provided he should be elected?
He would be a mere cipher-a second
Kittel Halverson. When Mr.. Halver.
son represented the old Fifth district
in congress the writer remembers that
legislation for the relief of the Mile
Lacs settlers was needed, and Mr.. Hal
verson was appealed to, and appealed
to in vain. We were obliged to appeal
to the congressman from the Fourth
district, Hon. j. N. Castle, for assist
ance. No resident of the Sixth dis
trict will ever be required to seek the
friendly aid of a neighboring congress
man as long as Page Morris is our
representative. If devoted, intelligent
public service is appreciated there
should not be many votes recorded
against Page Morris in Mile Lacs
county next Tuesday. ..,

THE UNION believes that there will
be some needful good roads legislation
enacted at the next session of the leg
islature, and if the bonding proposition
carries in Mile Lacs county the money
will be properly expended. Whether
there is any new legislation or not we
believe the county commissioners can
be trusted to do what is right. Every
one will admit that better roads are
needed in Mile Lacs county, and it
takes money to build and improve
roads, and the only feasible way OF
raising the money is by taxation.

In voting for railroad and warehouse
commissioners bear in mind that two
of the candidates are to be elected for
four year terms, and one for two year
term. If you vote for three candidates
for the four year term your vote is lost
it cannot be counted. If you vote
for two candidates for the two year
term your vote cannot be counted for

GOOD JUDGMENT.

In our judgment, Congressman Nor
ris will be reelected by bigger ma
jority than ever if the people will only
get out to.the polls. Mr.. Morris is an
honest, capable man and a gentleman, n,
and the better the people get ac-
quainted with him the better they like
him. However, it is not wholly Nor
ris' personality that is attracting votes
to him, it is the fact that he is part OF
the administration. The Mckinley
administration will undoubtedly be in
dorsed, but the success of the presi.
Dental ticket alone would only be halt
a victory without congress to back it.

The Chinese Bill of Expense.

"a Y OW THAT the day of settle
~ ment is not far off the ques-
\ tion of liquidating the bill
of costs that has been
rapidly swelling in connection with
the Chinese trouble, is one that must
puzzle even the most sanguine believer
in the resources of the floweTy king
dom. 1t is stated that official esti-
mates of the cost of Germany's Asia
tic expedition put 1t at 10O,000,OOO
marks, or about $2i ,OOO,O 900. up to Octo-
ber I, with indefinite capacities for
increase after that date. Germany is
famous for her ability to conduct mil
itary and naval movements at less
cost than any other nation In the
world The movement of the same
force TO China by England would prob
ably cost twice az much; by the
United states, judging from the ex-
pcnditurcs, that cost would be at least
tripled.
At this ratio the bill Of costs con-
tractcd by the powers must already
be in the ncighborhood of 800. 900 oO0
and the amount will increase at the
rate of from $5,0OO,0O0 to $10.000000
monthly while the foreign troops con-
tinue to occupy Pekin. 1t is expected
to get this back from China with
claims for other damages, making the
total five or six times greater.
The declaration to the effect that
China will be made to settle for the
expenses incurred by the expeditions
sent to rescue the foreigners at Pekin
who resisted the Boxers so many days,
sounds very fine, but the question of
raising the fund is one sufficient for
meditation.
How is a nation which had to bor-
row money to pay the Japanese in
dcmnity to raise $500 900, 600 or $780,
100000 to pay the powers at the pres
cnt juncture? The common people of
China have been bled by the tax
gatherers until they are already pow
orty-stricken. If sor1e means could be
found for extracting the money from
the officials who have fattened on the
pcrquisites of Chinese government the
indemnity might be collected, or rather
the interest on it might he. But that
would nccessitate a control of China
| like that which England has estab-
| lishod in Egypt, and the task of SUBJ
| jectinS the whole of China to such
| government would involve an increase
of the bill of costs that is calculated
| to produce a universal distaste for it,
! The only other way to collect that in
| demnty is to take territory-which
may be the reason why most of the
| powers are proclaiming that they dc
not want territory.
At all events the bill of costs In
| China is increasing, while the pros
pect of getting the money back is not
! improving in proportion.

LAWToN'S LAST LETTER.

"I would to God that the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known to every one in America
as I know it. If the real history,
inspiration and conditions Of this in
surrection, and the influences, local
and external, that now encourage the
enemy, as we'll as the actual possi-
bilities of these islands and peoples
and their relations to this great
East, could be understood at home,
we would hear no more talk of un-
Just Shooting of government into
the Filipinos, or of hauling down
our flag in the Philippines. If the
so-called anti-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the truth on the
ground and not in distant America,
they, whom I believe to be honest
men and misinformed, would be con-
vinced of the error of their state
ments and conclusions and of the
unfortunate effect of their publica-
tions here. If 1 am shot by a Fill
pino bullet, it might as well come
from one of my own men, because I
know from observations confirmed
by captured prisoners that the con-
tinuance of fighting is chiefly due to
reports that are sent out from
America"

prosperity in the candy trade, which
is directly responsible for such an
enormous part of last years great
consumption of glucose, and the alb

ton of the crop of the corn growers
of the West, was directly due to the
general prosperity. When the mills
are closed, and the workman can not
fill his dinner pail with the nccessa-

which there is no demand. With the

Campaign Suggestions.

a ) THE end of the campaign
~ approaches, it is well for
4 N every voter who has the
welfare of the country at
heart to consider the following ques-
tions that have been asked by con-
temporary:
Are you doing your duty in this cam
paign? Are you willing to rest con-
tent with the knowledge that your own
vote is all right, though your neigh
bor's may be wrong? Is your ballot in
November to be the extent of your ef-
fort for the recollection Of President
Mckinley and the continuance of our
present national policies? Have you
no ume to devote to the maintenance
of the national credit and the glory
and honor of the national flag? Is 1t
fair to President Mckinley that, when
he needs your active help you go away
to enjoy the prosperity which his ad-
ministration has brought to you, and
shrug your shoulders and say that he
is sure of recollection without you?
Suppose that President Mckinley, af-
ter his election in 1896, had assumed,
as you do now, that the country would
take care of Itself without further ex-
ertlon by him, that he would make no
effort himself but rely on congress to
guide the country to prosperity-what
would you have thought of such a
president?
Precisely the same rule applies to the
Republican voter who is Indifferent 10
his duty in this crisis. "No time for
politics" Is no excuse. 1t is merely an
apology for party disloyalty Had not
President Mckinley worked night and
day for a tariff law that meant indus
trial activity, and for monetary legis-
latiOn that inspired confidence in ouI
national integrity, there would be fan
more time for politics and less foI
business today than there was -four
years ago, bad as conditions were then
If by any chance President Mckinley

|T\HE STRIKE has been or
dnrrd' At this hour it is
Il probably needless to add
anything 20 that which has
already been said upon a subject Of
such vital interest to this aud sur
rounding communities. While many
of the more sangulne are hopeful that
the disaster sure to accompany this
blow at the industries of Northeastern
PcnnsylN ania may yet be averted, the
outlook today is certainly not encour-
aging. Although it is not probable
that should the men G" out the pres
cnt trouble will be characterized by
scenes and incidents that in past have
made the older rcsiuonts of this VI
cinity shudder at the contemplation Of
mcmory's pages, the spectacle of
thousands of men turning their backs
upon the avenues of toll on the eve
of winter is one that can arouse none
but the Gravest apprchcnsions. The
lest financial report Of the condition
of the United Mine Workers, which
appears in another column of The

ity of hopes that aid foi strikers will
be forthcoming from that organiza-
tiOn.
1t does not seem possible in view of
the experiences of the past, that even
small majority of the mine workers
of the anthracite region will voluntar-
lily enter upon the course mapped out
for them by the labor agitators,
bat he that as it may, we are facing
n threatened misfortune that will in
hict hardships not only at home but in
localities remote from the scenes of
active operation.
let us hope that the calamity may
be averted.
