THE TRANSCRIPT. Eotered as second-class matter at the post office at Austin, Minnesota. C. H. DAVI DSON .EditorProprietor AUSTIN, MINNESOTA: WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAY 11,1881. Let Him be President. During the last few weeks the play of American politics has become oue of absorbing interest. That which was looked upon with quiet amusement is now watched with curiosity bordering upon anxiety. The supposed whim of the President is developing into a principle, and the certain death of this principle, or of Roscoe Conkling, will change the comedy into a fine political tragedy. The actors are James A. Garfield, Pres ident of the U. S., aud Roscoe Conkling, Senator from N. Y. The former repre sents the Executive department of the government, and in the play is simply performing his sworn duty. The latter represents Roscoe Conkling,a synonomous name for bossism, political despotism, aud ring rule. It seems that the Presi dent appointed one Robertson, for Col lec tor of Revenue at New York, and that a withdrawal of the appointment is de manded by Senator Conkling to whom it is rather unpalatable. On the refusal of President Garfield to comply with this most highly reasonable demand of the N. Y. Lord, the latter immediately threatens the President with the wrath of the Senate. The President, unwilling to have his policy dictated to him by a man who erroneously believes himself to be the Republican party, positively declines to obey, and insists that the appointment be confirmed or rejected by the Seuate. The turning point of the play then, is, shall the President exercise the power conferred upon him by the constitution, or shall it really tall into the hands of the Senate and be wielded by a representative of a single state. Iu view of the fact that the legislative branch has been steadily encroaching on the other branches of the government, and thereby threatening us with the evils of a centralized administration, this fight between President Garfield and Roscoe Conkling is one of paramount importance. On the part of the former it is not a per sonal fight. He has merely taken the step which it has long been foreseen that some President must take to preserve the dignity and powers attaching to his office. It is a disgraceful spectacle which is offered to our view. Our chief magis trate is asked by a tyrannical ring politi cian to withdraw an appointment which it is the duty of the Senate to reject, if the appointment be an improper one. Conkling's conduct points unerringly to the absolute power which he w&a striv ing tor under a Grant administration. President Garfield has met him boldly, aud in the interests of his office and of true government. The President will win he has the constitution to support him, and also the sympathy and aid of the best men of all parties. And he ought to win for it is only by observing strictly the boundaries of each depart ment of government, and leaving each officer to the performance of his own duty and the responsibility of hi3 position that our principles of government can be maintained. We, the people of the U. S., elected Garfield President, and we say, let him be President. A GREAT many good people are full of forebodings and fears lest infidelity and atheism, by the aid of science and the eloquence of orators, should undermine the foundations of Christianity. If faith is weak the history of the past should teach the folly of the thought. It has stood the shock o» giants through all these centuries, and at every assault, wheu the smoke of battle has cleared, the beautiful structure of Christianity has appeared not only unmarred, but with more marked beauty and completeness. Try as it may, the intelligent world canuot escape from the truth everywhere im pressed upon it, that the Christian reli gion is wonderfully adapted to the best and truest interests of the sons and daughters of men. This is true not only of the future state resting upon faith, but the present condition, in the home, in society, and in the State. To all these it gives a charm, excellence, and solidity never reached or even approximated to under any other system. In the past the walls of Christianity have been assaulted —they will be in the future but their de fenders will be none the less valiant and equally successful.— Inter-Ocean. MB.A. W. KIMBALL, Clerk of the Court, makes the expense to Mower county of the investigation and trial of John A. Riley, $3,249.67. Mower county should have been saved this heavy expenditure with the very slight evidence in the pos session of the State upon which to base a case against John A. Riley.

Cole and Ounnell. We spoke approvingly of Gen. Cole for Governor recently, as we have several times before for other public positions, because we consider lnm a man of fine ability and of the strictest integrity—a man who would honor his statt as its executive chief. Because he believes in the state paying its debts, is a strange reason for opposing him. We honor him for his position on the railroad-Jond indebtedness. THE Philadelphia Times says that Secretary Windem is liked as Secretary of the Treasury more and more, and pre dicts for him as successful a career as Sherman had. The Times is right. The better you know Secretary Windom the belter you like him. He is one of the solid men that do little talking but lots of work.—Inter-Ocean. THE new road of the C., M. & St. P. Co. from Marion Junction to Council Bluffs, is to be completed by January 1st next. The line takes a straight shoot, without regard to the feelings of import ant towns. Cedar Rapids is left four miles to the north. Every tow a of im portance except Iowa City is left out. It will soon be so you can go anywhere over the M. & St. P. R. R. NINETY-TWO years ago last Saturday, Washington was inaugurated first Presi dent of the United States at New York City. The suit of clothes that he wore upon that occasion is preserved at Wash ington. While the- Nation is not venera ble with age, it has reached the period when but few living witnesses are left to tell of the event.—Inter-Ocean, May 3. THE Vuuderbilt board of directors in returning to New York from the west, last Friday, made the fastest time on record. The train of two cars, drawn by the newly-invented Fountaine engiue, made 111 miles in ninety-eight minutes, and 229 miles in 235 minutes, including stops amounting to sixteen minutes. IT is said that the project for a world's fair in New York in 1883 is practically dead. WHAT will the Star Route riug do a living now THEY call the new 3% per cents "Win docis." NEWS AND NOTIONS.

Say it to your parents, your brothers and sisters, your schoolmates, your teacher— and say it cheerfully, and with a smile, it will do you good, and do your friends good. There's a kind of inspiration in every "good morning" heartily spoken that helps to make hope fresher and work lighter. It seems really to make the morning good and to be a prophecy of a good day to come after it. And if this is true of the "good morning," it is also of all kind, heartsome greetings they cheer the discouraged, rest the tired, and some how make the wheels of life run more smoothly.—Ex. —Tlte New Haven Register inquires "Isn't it strange how recklessly a boy dis regards comfort? H« will have wet feet cold fingers, frost-bitten ears, and shiver ing chilly, but you can't pull him into the housejby the kitchen stove. Not much. He will dance with his hands in his pock ets, and 'holler' to the boys across the street and imagine he is having raving fun." Just so with a working man. Nothing brings out nerve except the crises of life. When a man backs down and quits work for damp feet or is afraid he will get rheumatic or spoil his corns, make up your mind that that man will never amount to anythiug in this life. Grit will keep a mau's toes warm in ice water. Nerve will drive off chills and ague and the man that can rise with the occasion is the man that will keep his head clear above water liroughout life. —Elgin (III.) Leader. Advertising Cheats. It has become so common to write the be ginning of an elegant, interesting article and then run into some advertisement that we avoid all such cheats and simply call attention to the merits of Hop Bitters in as plain honest terms as possible, to induce people to give them one trial, as no one who knows their value will ever use anything else. A MAN 102 years of age has been discovered in Southern Ohio., He swears, drinks the strongest kind of rum, bus smoked for seven ty-two years, chews plug tobacco, uses snuff, and the inhabitants don't know what to make of it. A Losing Joke. A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said jokingly to a lady patient who was complain ing of her continued ill health and of his ina bility to cure her. "try Hop Bitters I" The lady took it in earnest and used the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health. She now laughs at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so well pleased with it, as it lost him a good patient. c* Pounds Gained in Three Weeks, IO and CURED of CONSUMPTION. Messrs.

Making Watches. Defective watch cases are one of the chief causes of so many watches not being good time pieces. The cases being thin and not fitting well, admit dust and dirt to the move ment, which soon interferes with the running parts of the watch, necessitating cleaning, re pairing, &c„ and the amount thus paid out if applied toward buying a good case in the beginning, would have saved all this trouble aud expense. We have recently seen a case that meets all these requirements, it having been carried for over twenty years and still remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS* PATENT STIFFENED GOLD CASE, which has become one of the staple articles of the jew elry trade, possessing as it does so many advantages over all other watch cases, being made of two heavy plates of solid gold over a plate of composition, and we advise all our readers to ask their jeweler for a card or cat alogue that will explain the manner in which they are made. It is the only stiffened case made with two plates of gold, seamless pendants, and center, solid joints, crown pieces, &c., all of which are covered by letters patent. Therefore buy no case before consulting a jeweler who keeps the JAS. BOSS' PATENT STHTFENED GOLD CASE, that you may learn the difference be tween it and all imitations that claim to be equally as good. For sale by all responsible jewelers. Ask to see the warrant that accompanies each case, and don't be persuaded that any other make of case is as good. apr20-ly A O A N S 1 8 us to 5 I 1 I W8eta reed*, only $65. Pianos $125 up. £^~IUUB.

Why? !d, After the Chicago fire, the relief com mittee undertook to furnish sewinfr machines to the needy, women of that city. appli cants were permitted to choose from six dif ferent machines:3,427 chose Sinner Machines, and 517 distributed their choice among the five other kinds of machines. These girls were to earn their living on these machines. Why did they take Singers? 4th, The People's Award to the Singer. The people bought Singer Machines as follows: \870 127,833 1879 431,109 Many of the manufacturers of other machines refuse to state their sales.
