A Revival of tho Old Report That the

A telegram from Brainerd says:
A well-authenticated rumor comes
from St. Paul-and a prominent rail
road official who recently passed
through this city-that the Northern
Pacific has In contemplation an ex.
tensive enlargement of it's works
here in Brainerd. 1t is. well-known
that the capacity OF the shops is en-
tirely inadequate to the work re-
quired OF them-and. rnmors have
been current for some time that
something would be done to i'm:
prove the condition of affairs in that
respect. 1t can now be stated, al.
most to certainty, that the coming
summer will see the work under
way. The improvements con-
templated will mean the outlay OF
$500. ZOO. 1t is doubtful, however, If
the amount expended will reach that
figure during the coming year, but
the expenditure of one-half that sum
would mean much to Brainerd and
it's vicinity.
The blacksmith shop needs to be
doubled from it's present capacity,
and every other department will
receive attention.

Will THE REpuB11cp urI THROUGH

WILL TIE REPUBLIC PULL THROUGH
From The Duluth News Tribune.
One OF the most astounding things
In our history is the persistence with
which the Republican party laoors
10 overthrow the American republic.
They are always at it, and seemingly
.on the verge Of success: nay, there
has been at least one time when the
Democrats, who constitute the only
tbulwark of freedom, declared that
the hellish work was actually &C.
.somplished. In the time of Abraham
Lincoln, Familiarity described by hun
+<lreds OF democratic journals OF those
times as the "ape,a in reference to
his nominees OF feature and ungain-
Nness OF person, that president was
declared in speech, editorial and
political platform, actually to have
s-overthrown the republic, and to
have founded a military despotism
e0n the grave of the constitution by
/ the use of the bayonets Of "Lincoln
;Airelings," which was in those days
the favorite description of the Union
soldiers.
But some way or other it turned
cut that Lincoln didn't do the work
thoroughly and we find the Repub
eucans laboring as hard as ever under
Grant to strange the republic and
erect an empire. But even grant
did not achieve full success, and
Hayes had a chance to contribute
His might to the downfall of liberty
In the times of Garfield, Arthur and
Harrison the sinister plots of
the Republicans were steadily pro-
1ressing, but the republic is tougher
shan was expected and has fingered
along till now, when we understand
from Hon. Charles A. Towne that
Mckinley is likely to introduce mon
Sarchy any day, and, still worse,

end has come, II the province of God
the days of the republic are numbered
then pray to God that when his
tory is written it shall be recorded
that those with whom l worked
went down to death with republic,
rather than live when the republic
was gone.
. It's a clear case that II Bryan is
not elected "the days OF the republic
are numbered" and the chance Of
shat is not sufficiently substantial to
much doubt into the ques-
zion. What ID it that Bryan hints
shat his followers snail do in their
despair? Does he mean that they
shall take up arms with Aguinaldo,
or commit suicide?
But those who remember that
Jefferson, great man as he was, was
always numbering the days of the
republic and attributing monarch
xcal designs to every man, even Wash
dngton, who did not agree with him
IN politics, We'll hope that Bryan is
rather too pessimlstic and that the
yepublic will pull through in some
Happy go-lucky-way, even If Bryan
cant be president. There is some
chance that the constitution that

BOERs ADOPT NEW TACTICS
Two Columns of Them Moving South
of BIOemfontein

London, April 1.-THE Bloemfontein cor
respondent of the Morning Post, tele-
graphing Thursday, says:
The enemy have evidently determined
to adopt entirely new tactics Two col
umns are known to be moving to the
south of Bloemfontein. They are relying
on Cape carts for transport and are car
rying scarcely any forage and only suffi-
Gent food to meet the immediate re-
quirements of the convoy with OK trans
port following a az a secure distance. The
Boer columns are thus enabled to move
almost as quickly as cavalry.
1T is reported that there are 5000 Beers
to the south of Dewetsdorp. The force
extends from that point 10 Odendahl.
The burghers who had returned to their
farms are undoubtedly rejoining the en-
envy.

of Marlborough to be assistant military
