OUTLOOK IN THE EAST.

HOLLAND" in his New York letter
to the Chicago Inter Ocean, says that
the East will on the whole, from all
present indications, be stronger for
Mckinley next November than it was
in 1885, Of the six New England
states, he says that the indications are
that the pluralities in five of them will
be larger than four years ago. Con-
necticut has been classed as doubtful
state, but he says all doubt has been
removed since the adoption of the sill
yer plank at the Kansas City and that
men in that..state thoroughly acquaint-
ed with all the conditions say that the
plurality of $4,000 in 1896 will be
duplicated, and is likely to be increas-
ed. New Jersey shows no signs of
breaking away from Republicanism
and in Delaware factional troubles are
being dropped and the indications are
that the Republicans will get together
and carry the state for Mckinley.
In Maryland, he says that German
has lost hope because of the silver
plank, and the general opinion of lead
ing Democrats, who have heretofore
been active in their party circles is,
that the state is as safe for Mckinley
as is Pennsylvania, the result of which
no one questions.
New York, he says, will this year
break its pendulum swinging record,
and record it's vote again for Mckinley.
The most that the Democratic leaders
there hope to do, is to cut the plurality
under that which was given four years
ago. Republicans have not counted on
such plurality as that of four years
ago, although there are some, both
Democrats and Republicans, who pre-
dict that the figures of that year will
be surpassed next November
Of course this is a mid summer sur
vey, and the situation may possibly
change somewhat before November, it
would be strange if it did not, but the
general opinion is that whatever
change occurs, will be favorable to the
Republicans
This condition of affairs ought to
have beneficial effect upon the Re
publicans of the middle west, and
cause them to put forth greater efforts
than ever for their cause The one
great thing Throughout this campaign,
will be to impress upon voters the inn
portance of getting out to vote. This
is the one thing needed to administer
a crushing blow to Organism and it's
many dangerous fallacies.

Congressman McCleary noticed grad
uate of the Mankato Commercial col
lege working in the First National bank
of that place, and on inquiring found
that he was book keeper and had been
able to take full care of the books
from the first The cashier of the bank
remarked to the congressman that if the
Mankato Commercial college did as
well by all of its students as it had
with this one it does splendid work
Mr.. McCleary states that he felt proud
to have Mankato institution so com
mended abroad.

HELD INVALID.
Recent Orders of Public Exam
liner Pope.
Assistant Attorney General Sits Dowr
on His Proposed New System
of Accounting.

On the request of sixteen county au'
,ditors and county attorneys in the
state, Assistant Attorney Genera
Donahower rendered an opinion yes
terday holding invalid the recent order
of Public Examiner Pope that county
funds shall be paid out by auditor
warrant instead of treasurer check.
The opinion is a blow to the pubic
examiners attempt to secure UNI
form system of accounting for county
funds. and is based on provisions OF
the state law which will not harmon
ize with the authority under which
the examiner is issuing his order,
given by section Alp of the General
Laws of 1894.
This law gives the public examiner
the power to enforce a correct and
practical system of uniform bookkeep-
ing by county auditors and treasurers,
to afford a suitable check upon their
mutual action and insure the thorough
supervision and safety of county funds.
The warrant system, advocated by
Gen. Pope, displaces the old method
by which county treasurers drew
checks for amounts due from funds on
presentation of the proper warrant
Under the system proposed the audi
tors warrant would have to be &C
copied and Endorsed by the treasurer,
after which it would be honored at
any depository.
To do away with the payment of
claimants accounts with checks is
held in the opinion to be illegal. This
defined in section 735 of the General
Statutes of 1894, and section 755 pro-
vides that after being presented to the
treasurer the warrants shall be re-
deemed and returned to the auditor
Copies of the opinion have been
mailed to the auditors and attorneys
requesting them and to Secretary Mil
Ter of the state auditors association.
Auditor Gunders was not one of the
sixteen auditors referred to above. He
thinks that the main part OF Mr.
Pope's proposed system is a good one.
Commencing today he has started an
innovation in one feature of the work
of the office. All orders and warrants
are numbered and registered before
being given out, and the numbers dc
not run in series but consecutively.
Treasurer Ewing states that the let
ter of the law will be followed here
after in his office All warrants will
be paid by check where practicable,
the number of the warrant being in
serted in the checks. This plan went
into effect today. Gen. Pope's plan
was to have the warrant paid at a
bank

IS PROSPERING.
Several New Residences and Other
Building Operations in North Mankat0,

Considerable building is going on
in North Mankato and the village has
has prosperous appearance. A l..
Wheeler is constructing a one story
brick addition to the rear of his hous q
that will allow of bath room, etc.
He has also laid cement walk to the
street and placed horse blocks. When
the work is completed he will have
very fine place.
John Farmer has nearly completed a
large residence, that will cost about
50, 900.
Peter Christensen has the foundation
in for a 81, 500 dwelling that he will
erect next year.
Frank Kotthoff has completed new
house at cost of about $1400.
A. Anderson has disposed of his resi-
dence property to Otto Koke for 81, 400
and intends to build another house.
There is a good deal of sentiment in
favor of another bridge.
1t is hoped that the Hunt-O Leary
controversy will soon be settled and
the property thrown on the market, as
it is wilderness in the center OF the
village now.

THE MOVE ON PEKING.

A Tien Tsin dispatch says that a
courier has brought a message from
Minister Conger at Peking, and that
he and his family are well. A message
also says that the missionaries who are
in Picking are safe. The receipt of the
letter from Claude Macdonald, the
British minister, has served to revive
hopes in England and on the continent
and it is now generally acknowledged
that the diplomatic action of the
United States has been far superior to
that of the powers of the old world
Treacherous as the Chinese may be,
they probably have more faith in
America, for the reason that it has no
territorial longings, than they have in
the professions and protestations of the
powers of Europe.

MILK GOES DOWN.
Twenty Tickets for Dollar is the Price
After This.

The milk dealers will go back to the
old rate of twenty tickets for dollar,
after trying to maintain the price at
seventeen for dollar j. H. Will
pulled out of the combine today and
announced that he would return to the
old rates, and the others are expected
to follow suit.
Mr. Will states that he went into the
agreement in good faith, but soon dis
covered that some of the other dealers
were secretly supplying some of their
old customers at the former rate. This
demoralized the trust and as result it
has gone to pieces. Some of the own
ers of two or three COWS are known to be
selling milk at less than five cents a
quart, but this traffic is not extensive
enough to affect the large dealers.

AMPLE WATER SUPPLY.
IF the Artesian Wells Ever Fail There is
Another Source.

Windmiller Bros. have reached the
rock in their work on a new well for
the Hubbard Milling Co., and are
putting down the inside eight inch
casing. The outside ten inch casing
casing has been driven six feet into
the rock, and the inside casing will be
put down the same distance. The space
between the two castings will then be
filled to the top with cement, and this
is expected to prevent the well from
ever leaking. A twelve inch pipe was
put down through the sand, but may
be pulled up.
Mr. Hubbard states that this well
will be the best ever made in the CITY,
He states that vein of water was en-
countered above the rock, that will
supply Mankato with water always. 1t
seems to be of fine quality, although it
has not yet been analysed. 1t is below
a clay layer and seems to be free from
surface water 1t would have to be
pumped up, but the supply is believed
to be inexhaustible. Mr.. Hubbard lays
a good deal of Importance on this dis
.covery.

passersby with his impertinent ques-
tions One of them went to the city
hall and reported the matter to the

bridge but the fellow had decamped.
1t is not known who he was, and it is
just as well for him that his name was
not ascertained.

The Review says that calamity howl
ing is one of the favorite expedients of
the Republicans. The Review has its
wrong pair of goggles on. Calamity
| bowling is not characteristic of the
Rublicans, buep ? is confined to our
friends the fusion enemy. The Repub-
licans sometimes point out what will
likely occur if certain policies, which
our fusion friends delight in, are car
ried out, but they never go at it in a
calamity style, as our neighbor well
knows. The particular thing which
the Review is engaged just now in
hugging itslef over, is that the credit
of the state has not suffered under the
administration of Gov. Lind. Well,
it has never been charged that it has,
but then that is not much for or
against him as he has not had much
of chance to carry out Populistic flu
sion notions, as happily the people did
not intrust the legislature nor the rest
of the state officers to the fusionists,
but enough damage has already been
wrought to the state by the manipula-
tion of wheat grades, which are en-
tirely discredited in eastern markets,
and by the political work of the gov
ernor's board of railroad commission
ers, to satisfy the people for forty
years to come, and they will willingly
allow Gov Lind to go back to look
after his neglected law practice after
January LIST next.

for a county exhibition at the tate
fair will meet at Garden City Aug.
9Th. The main problem is to raise
$3.50 to transport the exhibit to st.
Paul. The county fair will not be

this account exhibits there will not
be available and the work will be that
much greater. The committee should

ever it decides upon.

The Democratic state convention
will meet on Sept 9th next and there
are few here and there specializing
over the fact as to whether Gov. Lind
will accept denomination or not. 1t
would seem that such speculation was
simply time lost. Sure, last winter
the governor took occasion to say that
he would not be a candidate, but that
has served the purpose for which he
evidently meant it, and while Boss
Rosing has listed him as Democrat
the Pops must grin and bear it, that is
what few of them there are left. Gov.
Lind is not likely to treat his follow
ers to such rude shock as to decline
what he practically has in his hand,
and though he may not relish the
thought of defeat, he doubtless thinks
that his chances for success are fairly
good But in this he probably has not
reekoned on the large vote that was
not cast in 1898, and which will be
cast this year, if Republicans but do
their duty. The fear expressed in
some quarters during the past few
months that Capt. Van SAINT would not
prove strong candidate, is fast
passing away for he is growing in
strength everywhere. All that the Re
publicans of Minnesota need next
November 6, to register one OF the
greatest victories ever won in the
state, is to get out their voting
strength. That is feature of the cam
paign that wants to be well looked at
ter Let it be impressed upon every
man who has any idea of voting the
Republican ticket, that he is needed
at the polls and then get him there
Oyer-confdence is thing that must
not be allowed to develop as the cam
paign progresses.

Our neighbor, the Review, has final
ly found a Republican in this city, or
says it has, though it does not produce
his name, who it claims is a prominent
business man, who will vote for Bryan
in November The story looks little
fishy in that our neighbor does not
seem able to produce the name of its
convert Still it would not be strange
if now and then a Republican should
be found that for one reason or an
other will vote for Bryan next fall.
But Republicans are not feeling bad
over these changes For every Repub-
lican who goes to Bryan, from dozen
to twenty Democrats and Populists,
and perhaps more, are going over to
Mckinley. The Republican political
sky is not becoming at all darkened.
