D. 1890 By the Court ERNST BRANDT Jndge of Probate In Sight of a Rope. The Clifton Holden murder case is one notch nearer its end, and the indi cations are that it is one notch nearer the rope for the condemned man. The application for a commutation of sen tence was made by his attorney, C. C. Wilson, of Rochester, before Gov. Mer riam on Thursday. The result is that the governor has taken the matter un. der advisement, stating, however, that he would not interfere in the prisoner's behalf Unless Judge Webber, who sen tenced him, would recommend such ac tion, and added to the discouragement by saying that even that might not save his neck. This makes it look pret ty blue for Holden. The grounds on which a commuta tion is asked for have been stated in the Review before. In brief, they are that Holden was convicted on solely circum stantial evidence and upon examination of the testimony there cannot be said to be absolute evidence of his guilt that there are,in fact, points which give rise to a legitimate doubt that Holden was a weak and timid man and had neyer be fore been charged with a crime, ?ud that the fact that the jury asked to have the case submitted without argument from the attorneys was misleading and depriv ed the prisoner of a careful review of the affair, with immense amount of testi mony, by a skilled la^vyer.Affidavits were also wrung in, sworn to before the de fendant's attorney, which were intend ed to prove the inconsistency of the story of the murder as given at the tri' al. However, theie is nothing new brought out, and Attorney Madigan, in appearing for the state, urged the gov ernor to be cautious. No executive clemency, he said, should be used un less new evidance had been producer1. Of this, there had been none, and it should be the duty of the governor to go slow. He also presented a petition, signed by 148 of the business men of Redwood Falls, praying against a com mutation. After all the attorneys had had their say, the governor then an nounced that he would take the matter under advisement. He would not act until he he bad learned the opinion of Judge Webber, and stated that even a favorable report from him might not be sufficient grounds to influence him to a commutation of the fearful sen tence Beautify the Town. Now that the Spring time has come, let thpre come with it for New Ulm a season for general improvement ini provement in every direction. To a traveler, visiting the town,one of the first things to be commented on, is the gen eral appearance and cleanliness. These are always sure to form an impression and that impression is generally last ing It is carried away, where one of ine solidity and business of the town would be forgotten. It is desirable therefore that the town appears at iti best. To do thw, there are a hundred ways. In the first place, clean up Streets, alleys and back yards should all be put in trim, given a healthy ap pearance and beautified in every way possible. In this, it is not necessary for the city to take iny great hold it can nearly all be done through the ef forts of private citizens. Let each one see that his yard is raked that his lawn is removed of all rubbish and put in readiness for nature's coat of green that his fences are up and not down and that his whole premises are neatly and carefully looked after. Sidewalks should be kept in order and excended. It can be done at little expense and with well directed outlay. All this work, done at small trouble, will give the city a look of cleanliness, freshness and beauty, that every resident can point to with inward pride. Then too, 4rbor day is soon at hand, and every property owner should make it a duty at this time to plant trees. On this point we have urged often enough before. The need^is apparent. Natural ly, New Ulm's location is all that could be desiied. A richer growth of well se lected and well kept trees, would make it by far the prettiest town in the state. This is admitted on all hands and if it is so, why should we not allow the spring of the present year to go down as one in which more was done to beau tify the town than ever before. That the farmers of the northwest have a strong friend in Congressman Lind, of this district, there can no long er be any reason to doubt. He asks a reduction of ft least one cent on twine and says that if the committe does not grant his request he will fight the tariff bill on the floor of the house.—HENDER SON .^DEPENDENT. Merchants Organization. A goodly number of the Retail Mer chants of the city met in the parlors of the Dakota House on Friday evening, and listened to an address by F. Foisom, of the Merchants Retail Com mercial Agency, 53 Dearborn St., Chica go. Ills. Xne system in use by thi3 Agency has for its purpose the protec tion of Retail Merohants. The legality, practicability and results of the system were fullv explained. After considera- tion, §, motioh was made that those present proceed to organize a local branch of such Agency. The motion prevailed by a unanimous vote, and the following were chosen as officers: Jacob Klossner Jr., President F. H. Retzlaff, Vice-President Andrew J. Eckstein. Secretary and Treasurer S. D. Peterson, J. F, Neumann, and Charles Wagner, Executive Board. This Agency uses rid dishonorable means to force collections or settle ments, but the merchants propose to exercise their legal right to refuse cre dit to a person who gams the reputation of not treating a member of the Agency honorably. The man who can pay and won't pay and the man who cannot pay, but will not go to the merchant and state his condition and make effort to arrange, is the person this agency is after. VOLUME XIII. NO. 16 NEW ULM, BROWN COUNTY, MINN., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16. 1890 WHOLE NUMBER, 640 1 There is no law compelling mer chants to sell their goods on credit. There is no law forbidding merchants refusing credit to any person they see fit, and when a merchant sells his goods on credit it is as an accomodation to the consumer, and if such consumer has no appreciation of the favor extended and wilfully neglects to make a reasonable ^and honorable adjustment of his indebt edness, then he should be compelled to pay as he buys. It is better for him and much more profitable for the mer chant. Many a poor worthy man has been refused credit for the necessities of life because of the merchant's unpleas ant experience with bad debtors, but this system will tend to obviate all that, because tfye man who does respect his credit will be known and have a standing among merchants, while the "dead beat" and others of his kind will also be known to the members of this Agency and be absolutely refused cred it, no matter if he moves to another town or state, his reputation as poot pay will follow him and the merchants in such new place of residence will also refuse him credit. This Agency issues a regular and legal bi-monthly ab stract aiunsettled accounts. Each mem ber agrees to forfeit twenty dollars to his branch as a penalty, in case he ex tends credit to a person whose unsettled account appears in the abstract and no account can appear theroin until the debtor has had a full and fair opportun ltv to go to the merchants he owes and in some way anange such indebtedness. The agency does not" interfere with the credit of men who deal honorably, no matter if they are slow, neither does it in any way regulate prices Its sole object is to compel men to be honest with merchants or to pay spot cash for goods purchased. Something of this kind has been needed for along time and this system will work. "In com bination there is strength The mem bers have the success or failure of this system in their own hands Wherever merchants hate properly combined, the S3 stem has proven a great success The west is being carefully covered by the agency, and the merchants in all small town are visited and Solicited to join the countv branch. Doings of the Council. A regular meeting of the council was held April 8th. Present, as qualified members were, Chas. L. Roos and Wm. Frank from the first ward, Chas.Stuebe and Jos.
