OUR new MAP.

THE GAZETTE is able to announce
that about April LIST it will publish a
new map of Redwood county The
size of the map will be about as
large as two pages of this paper.
1t will be sectional, showing the
new railroad from Sanborn to Vesta
together with all towns along that
line, giving names of towns. etc
In case it becomes certain that the
Northwestern will extend from
Redwood Falls to Vesta, or from
either place, the lines will be plac-
ed on the map, and the fact that THE
GAZETTE is IN close touch with the
company warrants us in saving that
the map will be accurate. Still fur
Their, in case the St. Louis system
makes move now contemplated,
the contemplated line will be placed
on the map
In addition to the railroads and
railroad towns OF the counties, the
map will show all school houses up
to date, all creameries, all churches
in the county and everything else
of public interest. In fact, the map
will be one of the most complete
maps ever issued Of Redwood coun-
ty.
One of these improved maps will
be given away with every yearly
subscription to THE GAZETTE, old or
new.
THE GAZETTE also expects to have
plat maps of every railroad town in
Redwood county on sale at about
the same time.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

In a letter to THEGAZETTE Senator
George W. Sonerville of Sleepy Eye,
representing this district in the
senate of the Minnesota legislature,
formally announces that he will not
be a candidate for the Republican
nomination for representative in
Congress from this district to sue.
coed James T McCleary, the pres
ent representative. Mr.. Somerville
gives as his reason that the voters
OF the 10Th Legislative district have
elected him as Senator to serve four
years, and that it would be wrong
for him to run for another Office un-
til after be Lad served out his term
as Senator. Mr. Somerville thanks
his many friends for the assurances
of support given him.

attorney from the Congressional
arena for 1900 probably leaves
an open field for ,renomiL alton for

strengthened himself in the ranks
of the Republican party.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 10, 1900.
MAY BE A LAZARUS.

The Hon. John Lind, Lindite
Governor of Minnesota, is on the
run. Frightened by the encroach-
ment of the successful planks of the
Republican party he deems it best
to be on the run, rather than stand
again for the Lindite election for
Governor. He sees Mckinley carry
the State by from $4,000 to $4,000
majority next year. He sees the
Republicans of the State united
stronger than ever around the
standard of VanSant. Nothing but
dark forebodings can he see in the
political clouds which he has asked
to be lined with silver.
And so Mr. Lind writes to the
Hon. Matt. Breslauer, the eminent
Hennepin Jacksonian octopus The
letter is carefully written, like all
silver documents, but between the
lines the Hon. Matt. sees that the
Lindite Governor will not again be
candidate, and will so state at the
meeting of the Jacksonianites in
Minneapolis. Tickled with the lily
livered action of the Governor, and
his own opportn nifty to gain polit-
ical prestige, the Hennepin leader
makes public the Governor s inten-
ton hours before the Governor
intended.
Gov. Lind S action is no loss to
the Democrats-nort to the Populists,
nor to the silver Republicans. 1t
is a Lindite loss exclusively. He
was not and will not be any of the
former three. He was and is dis
tinctly Lindite, swallowing and
spewing up'anything for the success
of Lindite. He sees sure success
for the Republican party this year,
and hence he declines to be turued
down at the polls. As be has been
leaping to and from one political
plank to another ever since he
retired from the Republican position
Of representative in Congress from
this district, who is there to deny
that before fall he will again be

gates OF the Republican party.

If he concluded to run he would run
with the ex-ectation of winning out
single handed. But Mr.. Volstead
could hardly do this, strong as he is
in the Northwestern end of this
district
Had Mr.. Somerville remained in
the race, and Senators Miller and
Shell had been induced to become
candidates with him and Mr.. Vol
stead, fair-minded men will admit
that there would have been a chance
to defeat the present incumbent.
It is expected that the 1901 legis-
lature will have an opportunity to
redistrict the State for both legisla-
tive and Congressional purposes
ano that Minnesota will be entitled
to two more representative in Con-
gress, and that the Second district
will be materially reduced in size.
It is possible that the redistricting
is what all the Congressional aspir-
ants are looking for at the present
%;,,a

A JUST AND GENEROUS ACT.

President McKinleys special message to
Congress yesterday should command the
instant approval of every fair-minded
American. He recommends, and his recon-
mendation was promptly adopted by the
House, that all of the customs duties COL
lected by the United States on imports
from Porto Rico since its annexation,
amounting to $2,O95, i55, be at once appro-
priated for the immediate relief and i'm
provement of the island. The sum thus
generously to be returned for the benefit
of the island is considerably more than
would have been raised in a year under
the bill as passed by the House Chair
man Payne of the ways and means COM
mittee. in introducing the bill. said:
The best estimates that can be obtained
show that this will produce a revenue of
81, 80, 900 from customs duties, which, added
TO the internal revenues OF the island, Will
| produce s2,5oo,oOo. sum sufficient TO pay
all the expenses of the government, in
Guiding the postal service, and also S325,000
for the public schools.
The amount now to be appropriated and
returned for the benefit Of the Porto Ricans
exceeds by $345 455 the estimated annual
revenue under the House bill.
1t gives the Journal greater pleasure to
approve this action of the President and
the House because ii has felt obliged to
condemn the tariff bill recently passed 1t
is still of opinion that the bill should not
become a law. The. present measure has
the double advantage of supplying larger
sum for the needs of the island than the
proposed tariff bill would, and of supplying
| it Immediately. The Porto Ricans are i'm
poverished and discouraged. They well
coined the American flag with delight and
| our troops with open arms, but as yet
| they have experienced none of the benefits
| of free government. Robbed for centuries
| by the Spaniards. they have been further
| impoverished by storm and stress, until
| their condition is such as to excite the pity
| of every generous mind. They need to be
| treated with more than scant justice. They
| deserve generous treatment. That is what
| the President has recommended and the
| House approved. 1t is not only practical
| craftsmanship. but it is a magnanimous
| act on the part of a nation that can well
| afford 1t, and 1t Is a splendid assurance to
| the inhabitants OF Porto Rico of what they
| may expect from the United States until
| such time as they may become a self-sup-
| porting territory

the imposition of tariff duties on commerce

better to err on the side of justice and gen.

imply the wisdom of exercising it.
