years he removed with his parents to

living upon farm most of the time.
He was a member of the school board
of the village of Zunbrota for mum.
Der of years, and in 1884 and was

village and justice of the peace for
several years. Ten years ago he re-
moved to Sank Centre, where he has
since resided. Dnring that time be
has served two full terms in the city
council, and is now in his third term,
and is president of that body. He
has always been active and foremost
IN everything pertaining tothe improv-
ment of the condition of the city, serv-
ing on important committees, and has
given freely of his time and excellent
judgment to city affairs. He is univer-
sally recognized as valuable public
officer. That he will serve this district
as faithfully in the legislature as he
has his city in his capacity as Alder
man no one who knows him can for a
minute question. He is emphatically
the man for the place.

THE CON STlTU T ION A L
AMENDMENTS.

Four amendments to the State
constitution will be submitted at
the approaching election. One is
to give broader scope inlegislating
for equitable taxation; one is to in
crease the gress-earnings tax on
railroads to four per cent: one to
permit the state to loan its perma.
nent school funds to counties, cities
and villages-now limited to school
districts, and one permitting an in
creased levy for roads and bridges.
All are good and should be en-
grated upon the fundamental law
of the State. And yet the HERALD
does not care a rap whether they
are adopted or Dot-in fact il
would prefer to see them defeated
Why? Because they are m ere
patches upon our old constitution

TUESDAY next will be lection
day. and it is of the utmost impor
lance that every republican gets tc
the poles. Make the victory pro-
nounCed and decisive. 1t is ar
"off year," when enthusiasm does
not run high, but the issues are
nevertheless of first Importance.
To re-elect Gov. Van SAINT b y a
good round majority is not only to
endorse his admirable administra.
ton but to strengthen his hands
for the aggressive fight he is max
ing in behalf of the people against
the corporations.
For Congress, too, it is of prime
importance that republican be re-
turned from this district-a man
who will support and not embar-
rass the administration of President
Roosevelt. This new district,
which is pronouncedly republican,
can not afford, at its, first election
to be placed in the democratic COL
umn-arrayed along side of free
silver, free trade and antl-expan-
sion districts of the country. It is
the duty of every republican to get
to the poles and do his utmost to
elect a congressman in harmony
with the policies which have given
this country this era of its present
prosperity.

Hon. Charles A. Towne said, in
a speech in this city eight years
ago, in speaking of his opponent,
M. R. Baldwin: "He is honest, able,
vigorous, but wrong-a dangerous
combination. If honest he must
advocate his principles; if able he
will do so effectively, and if vigor-
Gus he will do so persistently, and
if wrong his influence will be all
the more pernicious because of his
honesty, ability and viger." What
Mr.. ToWne said of Mr.. Baldwin
then may be said of DR.. Dubois
now He is wrong on the silver
question; wrong on the tariff
question, wrong on the expansion
question-the three issues of the
campaign. No republican can
afford to support him.

which is now worn out and thread
bare. Minnesota needs a new con
stltution, one framed to meet exist
ing circumstances, homogeneous
well-rounded, carefully drawn. To
this end q constitutional convention
should be held, and a constitution
systematically drawn by the best
talent, legal, industrial, financial,
commercial and mechanical, the
State can command. -
Topatch, amend, add to, subtract
from the old constitution which was
adopted when the State was ad-
mltted is to give it new lease of
life which it does not deserve.

1T was only few years ago
that our democratic friends made
their campaign upon the claim
that then prevailing low prices
were indicative of an industrial
and economic distress which could
only be alleviated by the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of IS to 1. These conditions
would progress from bad to worse
until the nation accepted the silver
panacea. How false the predic-
tons have shown. Now it is high
prices, which is their bugbear and
nightmare. The very conditions
which they proposed to bring
about with free silver, and which
could come no other way, is here
as the result OF the republican pol
icy of a protective tariff under a
gold standard which set wheels of
industry buzzing as never before.
And now democracy with charac-
teristic consistency demands lower
prices for everythlng-and be ii
noted. incidentally. that lower pri,
ces always hits labor and agricul'
tural products first-and its claim
Is that free trade is the panacea
The country refused to accept free
silver then, and 1t will refuse to &C
cept free trade now. They were
false prophets then, and there is
no reason to believe them any
more reliable now. The people are
not less intelligent in 1902 than
in 18o6-and democracy is Just as
unreliable now as it was then.

The President,s Official Yacht.

Dispatches tell us that PresideuI
Roosevelt is spending his vacation at
Oyster, Bay and that the oMay
flower" the presidents Noffcial
yacht" with a crew of one hundred
and forty-one men, has secret orders
to put to sea. The f'oticial yacht''
will probably touch at Oyster Bay and
pick up the president aud his family
and then ''away DER the dancing
waves.p
The republican party has put some
queer men into the presidential chair,
and it has done many other queer
things, but we believe this is the first
president who has boasted of an
"oticlal yacht" whatever that is.
This "oficial yacht" is said to be very
much like the one built for Emperor
William; the one which Prince George
came over here to receive a few
months ago, only the "oficial yacht,'
is said TO be finer furnished. We
hope his majesty, Teddy l, may enjoy
his luxurious vacation. The people
will have to pay the bills anyhow,
and we had just as well wish him Joy.
And besides, while he is out on the
"ocean blue" be will not be making
foolish speeches like the Arlington
effort
But our memory runs back a few
years to the plain man Lincoln, who
would have been astounded at the
idea Of having an "oficlal yacht . and
II any president could be justified in
having one, It surely was Lincoln.
History tells US about Thomas JEFF
ferson, another plain man, who was
president, who rode horseback into
washington, found a hitch-post Some-
where, got down, hitched his horse,
and walked to the capitol, where he
was inaugurated. Jefferson had no
"oficial yacht but he had official
integrity, which was better. Jeffer-
son thought that public money was
just as sacred as private money, and
would not tolerate junketing at public
expense
We do not like this 'oficial yacht
business. The president has no need
for a yacht Of any kind. This aping
after monarchy makes the American
people very weary

Itwas just too Brilliant.

It Was Just too Brilliant.
At the republican judicial conyeu-
tion at Joplin, Tuesday, j. r. Burton,
Of Kansas. was trotted out to make a
speech, This is Senator Burton,
sometimes called "Ralpbn by his
chums, but better known all over hi-
own state as 81. Rats Burton.H This
Accident said: sit isa milestone
in the history OF this couutry when
There is such good feeling between
Missouri and kansas
Then, having relieved his brain Of
this stupendous thought, he fell into
the old Kansas rut, aud recalled the
Quantrell raid, in order to cement
this wonderful good feeliug'' which
he had discovered.
"You know" he said, "that there
was a time when you Of Missouri came
to Kansas without invitation. Now
/ am commissioned to invite Mis-
sourians to come to Kansas any time
they choose. Then we have a special
interest 10 you because we are advised
by both Kerens aud Atkins that you
are about to carry Missouri and make
it a republican state.n
Those jayhawkers have not yet re-
covered from the fright given them
by Quantrell. They never mention
his name except where trying to get
a pension from the government.
We remember the time when Kan
sans were not welcome guests 10
Missouri, any more than Missourians
we're welcome In Kansas. In those
days Kansans we're known as "Jay-
hawkers" All Of Missouri that Dor
dered on Kansas was laid waste, and
everything portable was carried off,
while houses, barns and fences were
burned. This was the work OF "iay-
hawkers'' who grew rich robbing Mis-
souri, homes. Pianos, furniture, sill
verware, horses, cattle, hogs, cloth
ing-everything vas c%ontraband in
the eyes of the jayhawker.
Mr.. Burton pretends to believe that
the republicans will carry Missouri
this year and make 1t a republican
state-perhaps like Kansas, with it's
empty treasury and high taxes; with
prohibitory law and "joint" govern
ment; with its %hypocrites and schls-
matics; with It's accidents like Burton
and Stanley.
No, not much Republicanism does
not appeal strongly to Missourians,
and especially when the evangelist
comes from Kansas. Burton will
have his bands full to get himself re-
elected, without meddling in Missouri.
Success to bis opponent.

publican INCONSISTENCY.

Republican inconsistency.
When the democrats talked Of using
the blanket ballot at Springfield,
every republican paper denounced the
method as a scheme to cut out the
weaker candidates, aud the democrats
did not use that method, The repub-
lican convention, held at Joplin a
week later, did adopt and use the
blanket ballot. This only shows that
republicans are inconsistent, and
howl at everything democratic,
whether right or wrong.
Republicans have tried to raise a
great storm because the democrats
have put the state Indebtedness to
the school fund in the form OF certl-
~icates, yet they nominated Higbee
and Whybark as their candidates for
judges of the supreme court, and both
of these men were members Of the
legislature when this Indebtedness
was transferred, and both Of them
voted for the transfer. This is
another specimen of republican hypoc-
risy. They are simply trying to raise
Suspicion, in the hope that a few
republicans may be able to sneak into
office while an Investigation is 60
ing on.
The democrats challenge republic
cans to investigate the books, and
show where a dollar has ever been
stolen or mlSapproprlated. They
have refused to make ali Investigation
but just before an election the hypo-
critical howl is always raised.

He will DenOunce it, but Vote for it.

Congressman Cooper, Of Wisconsin,
a republican, and chairman Of the
House committee on insular affairs
says that be considers all talk of an
nexing Cuba at present as absolutely
brutal. Continuing, he said:
1--WE have launched Cuba as a new
republic among the nations of the
world, and it would certainly not be
in keeping with our pledges to her
and to the world-certalnly not with
in the spirit, if within the letter, of
these promises-if, before her govern
ment has been given an opportunity
to demonstrate what it could do, we
should inaugurate a movement for
annexation. No doubt many wealthy
Americans having large financial in
tergsts in Cuba, as well as the wealthier
classes there, would prefer annexation
to a Cuban republic, but ] consider it
brutal to undertake to force annex
alton on the island, which l believe
is the object Of those who favor an
nexation at the present time.n
BRUTAL" is a good word, coming as
it does from a republican. But we
fear that Mr.. Cooper would change
his mind very suddenly il his party
should conclude to annex Cuba. The
party lash in the hands Of Hanna is
also brutal, and but few republican
congressman have the nerve to oppose
their party.
Let Teddy cut down Mr.. Coopei's
ration Of pie, and let Mark, the slave
driver swing his heavy whip, aud
"brutal annexation" will Immediately
become benevolent assimilation
1t is mighty hard to hear a repub-
licau congressman talk, and then
guess what he will do.

Ths ROck PiIe.

AAN Ac~A HC
No article that has appeared in the
INTELLIGENcER for months has been
received with such cordial approval
by the citizens Of Lexington as one
some weeks ago on the subject Of
working the city and colntv prisoners
on a rock pile. No valid argument
can be made to show that either duty
or interest warrants tie maintaining
CT prisoners in idleness. Why should
m%alefactors be the only persons in
the community who do not have 70
work to maintain themselves? A
large majority or the prisoners in the
county jail in a year are there for
petit larceny, gambling or assaults
that grow out OF these ofenses-
oifenses, which have their origin in
the desire to live without work. Why
should we under p%reteuce of punish
ment crafty criminals by feeding
and keeping them better than they
have been accustomed to, and without
work, as they desire?
Il would matter very little to tax
payers whether the rock pile might
result in valuable improvement OF
streets and roads or in reducing the
number Of prisoners. Either couse-
Quence would be a saving Of expense
and a just and valuable experience to
culprits. A place can be obtained or
made where this work can be carried
on in the worst weather Of winter or
summer, and criminals would cease to
pour in here from neighborlng coun-
ties at the approach Of cold weather
to enjoy the ease and comfort Of our
county jail, or else we would get
valuable service from them for these
accommodations.

A Bad Man.

A Bad Man.
A dispatch from Richmond to the
K. G. Star says: James Singleton Of
Brookield, at moo Thursday, entered
the railroad lunch counter conducted by
Anna Russell, at Lawson, ate a lunch
and left without paying for 1t. Mrs.
Russell took the stove poker, followed
him to the Milwaukee depot. and
Knocked him down. Later she fired
two pistol shots at him. That night
Garrett, at Elmira, heard a man cut
ting through the screen door of his
residence. Getting bis shotgun, he
fired at the burglar, hitting him about
the bead and neck. Singleton was
lodged in jail after which the local
physicians picked 100 shot from his
body.
This was loo hard on Singleton.
Greek imagination could invent moth
ing worse for a fury than a wild eyed
woman with disheveled, snaky locks.
The wrought iron poker with knobbed
handle and fooled point had not then
been invented. But Mrs. Russell did
not even stop there. 1t is expressly
stated that she shot at HIM twice with
a revolver and drove him to Elmira,
where a cruel man loaded him with
shot for no other offense than that of
trying to get his supper without dis
turbing the lady of the house. Single
ton should come to Lexington where he
a ''bum" all his meals at our com
ortable county Jail, and no one will
think Of collecting value received at the
point of a stove poker.

MardaI for L~Ieulenant Hickman.

Court Martial for Lieutenant Hickman.
Last week we mentioned that Lieu
tenant Hickman had been ordered to
Manila to be court-mariialed on a
charge of cruelty. Following is the
substance Of a dispatch from Manila
on the subject:
Gen Chaifee has ordered Lieutenant
Edwin A. Hickman OF the First cav
airy to Manila for trial by court-mar-
tial upon the charge Of alleged cruelty
by natives Of Tayabas province, The
charges arise from the Gardiner in
quiry. 1t Is claimed that Hickman
ducked two natives lE a stream in
order to obtain information. He is
charged with having ducked a third
native, who died from maltreatment.
The military oticialslsay that proof Of
latter charge is doubtful. The court
martial presided over by General
William II. Bisbee, which is trying
Captain George B. Ryan Of the Fiji
tenth cavalry upon the charge Of
unnecessary severity to natives, will
try Lieutenant Hickman.
The defense in the Ryan court
marital closed to-day The arguments
will be heard Saturday. The defense
offered much testimony and many
documents to show that a state Of
insurrecfion existed at Jimlnez, Mla-
danao, and that Captain RYAN was
justified ID using force to ob ain To-
formation, protect his command and
pursue the enemy 1t was shown that
