ALL honor to Aldermen Ilormel,

favor of

AN article from Austin in Sunday's
St. Paul Globe says that if John Fur
long is elected this fall, h6 will be
almost the only Democrat elected from
this first congressional district. It
is well that the word "if" is put in.
Charles L. West, the Republican
nominee, wilt be our next representa
tive from this district. Furlong has
accepted a nomination once too often.
THE straight Republican ticket will
be a winner in this county this year
as usual. The opposition to it, which
threatened earlier in the campaign
does not materialize so as to cause any
apprehension. No one will deny that
in the election of the entire Republi
can ticket the county and state will be
served for the next term by experi
enced and faithful officials and that
the nation will have an executive,
wise, able and safe. The customary
old time majorities will be given in
Mower county for Republican policies
and candidates.
ANYONE would suppose, in reading
the Populist papers, that silver coin
age
was
something that they alone
favored. The fact is that we ar«j coin
ing and increasing the volume of our
silver currency all the time. We
already have abundant coinage of sil
ver and even in this very year 1896,
since Jan. 1, our mints have coined
13,912,512 standard silver dollars, that
is, nearly twice as many as during the
whole eighty years of that period
which Mr. Bryan continually holds up
for our example. What we object to
is simply the indefinite and unlimited
coinage of silver dollars beyond our
ability to maintain them on a. parity
with gold.
WE get almost discouraged over the
patronage which fake peddlers are
still receiving in this county, Why
is It that people will deal with them?
Fake tree agents, grocery peddlers,
insurance agents and others would
not persist in their business unless
they tricked unwary customers to buy
of them. Every little while some bo
gus note turns up for collection against
some of our citizens obtained through
deception and misrepresentation. We
repeat what we have so often said
that no one should have anything to
do with traveling agents/* Trade at
home where firms are responsible and
wh6re goods will be furnished as rep
resented.
THE
persistency with which the
majority of our city council are push
ing the new city hall project in spite
of the various protests of oyr citizens
proper thing to do Is to let this scheme
entirely alone for the present and
wait for better times and until there
is a demand and necessity for anew
city hall. We hope that Mayor Crane
will veto the project.
THE formation of a child study club
in this city deeply interests us. Par
ents and teachers need to realize far
more than they do, the importance of
understanding the physical and men
tal conditions of their children. We
do not hesitate to say that there are
thousands of crimes committed
against the physical and moral na
tures of children every week simply
through ignorance of the conditions
of the child and the consequeuc.es of
ill advised and unscientific demands
and acts of instructors in the home
and in the school. Let us study the
child in his natural unfolding of'phy
sical* mental and moral powers and
we shall have the proper basis for cor
rect and scientific education.
THE annual report of Dominick
Murphy, commissioner of pensions,
just made, is a deliberate and shame
ful insult to every old soldier. The
underlying assumption in the report
is that there has been wholesale pen
ision frauds perpetrated against the
Igovernmeut by the veteran soldiers
land then this galling assertion is
made: "Offenders against the peu
lsion laws have been so vigorously
prosecuted during the past three years
that the criminal work of the law
division has been materially lessened."
We brand this implication of wide
spread pension frauds as utterly and
maliciously false. If Murphy could
[see as much as an Irish potato his
own report would show the absolute
falsity of such assumptions. lie
shows that during the fiscal year the
|sum of $138,214,761 was paid out for
pensions and in another place in the
same report he says that during the
[year thirty-nine indictments were
found and the astonishing sum of
I $20,982 turned back into the treasury.
I The simple fact is, as we have bad
abundant occasion to re'mark before,
ibat a horde of unscrupulous pension
[spies have beeu kept roaming over
this country at an enormous expense,
drawing fat salaries and living like
princes while engaged in houndiog
the old soldiers. Yet. after all their
persecution and spying and enormous
expenses, they have found no pension
frauds to speak of. Dominick Mur
phy has a gieat head on him, sure
enough. life
FARMERS, do you want toTsnow
/W to get better prices 'or yottr bogs
and grain? The simple answer is,
create a better market. A Chicago
live stock dealer asserts that one of
the puncipal causes of the decrease in
the value of cattle, in addition to the
fact of the continental European
countries having closed their ports
against our American live animals
and products, thereby limiting our
foreign outlets to England, Ireland
and Scotland, is the fact that, owing
to the period of hard times through
which we are now passing, factories
being closed aad laborers being out of
employment, the consumption of
meats has decreased at least 40 per
cent in this country. It is well known
that New England alone uses more
meats, also more hides for leather,
than we export. The laboring com
munity is the greatest consumer of
these products. Should our national
credit be restored, as we expect and
hope, and our factories and mills,
being then able to compete with for
eign countries, resume operations, our
labor, so long idle, will be again em
ployed, and as it is to them we look
for the demand for our animal pro
ducts, including leather, bides and
wool, as well as meats, the benefit to
the farming industry would be imme
diately felt and an increased demand
for these articles would manifest
itself at once. The same would be
true of our grain and all our agricul
tural products. A vote for McKinley
means better markets at home and
the opening of foreign markets
through reciprocity treaties.
Chat/yjd to Tawney.
A dispatch from Winona says that
a silent smile is goiug the rounds of
the Republicans over there of late
while the mention of the subject
which causes that smile make a sour
face with every free silver Democrat.
At the last meeting of the Fourth
Ward Democratic Club of Winona
tliey were addressed' by several speak
ers. At the conclusion, after the
speaker and a few of the audience
had retired, almost the whole club,
probably over 60 voters strong, swept
around for gold and Republican prin
ciples, and thfs, too, with hardly a,
word said during the meeting on the
gold side ai?d the hearing of several
silver addresses, one of them being
made by Patrick Fitzpatiick, the man
whp is running against Jim Tawney
for congress. The club is. now run
ning for Tawney and such sentiments
were freely expressed at their after
meeting.

others, and 'he will probably be^re*

Owatonna Journal: Begolo Puccini
of Austin was in the city on Tuesday
and after looking the place over de
cided that this would be a good point
for a wholesale fruit store and so will
open one in the room now occupied
by Parrott & Smith about Novembe**

the handling of bananas.
Houston Signal: The Houston
County Press Club held its annual
meeting at Caledonia Friday. Every
newspaper in the county was,repre
sented. Anew constitution and by
laws were adopted and officers elected
for the ensuing year. The organiza
tion will do much to create good fel
lowship and equality in prices of job
work and advertising, among the
newspaper men of the county.
Anoka Union: The three leading
counties of the state have had their
reduction of assessment of twenty
five per cent approved by the state
board of equalization, while the other
counties got a raise. Property has
depreciated in other places as well as
in Minneapolis, St. [Paul or Duluth,
and the state should serve all alike.
A reduction all over the state would
be fair, and itshould have been made.
Crookston Times: The man who
gets the fewest letters complains the
most of the post-office the man who
complains of the preacher pays the
preacher the least the man who com
plains the most of his neighbors is the
meanest neighbor and the man who
has the least sense is the most con
ceited. It may also be added that the
man who borrows his neighbor's paper
has the most fault to find with the
way it runs.
Slayton Gazette: During the year
1894 tne people of the United States
on an average consumed two and a
half bushels of wheat less than they
did in 1892, making a total of about
140,000,000 bushels less of consump
tion than when the mills and factories
were running under the fostering
care of the Republican party. The
threatened free frade and Wilson
tariff is the cause of the under con
sumption that our friend John Lind
talks about.
Rochester Post: Thursday morning
the sad intelligence was received that
Mr. D. B. Smith of Austiu had died.
Mrs. Sarah Hay, sister of the de

and the following persons, relatives
of Mr. Smith, also drove over to A us

Robert Pollock, Mr. James Hay and
Mr. Charles Everstine. Mr. Smith
was a prominent business man of
Austin and was also well known in
this city, where he had numerous
relatives.
Chicago Inter Ocean: After free
trade had closed factories and work
shops and brought widespread ruin,
astute statesmen discovered that it
'the lack of money'' and "the crime
of 1873" which had done it all. Bryan
pathetically refers "to the good old
days before the crime" and "the lack

Alden Advance: The free silver
people are now furnishing the press
with campaign plate literature, al
ready in type, and the question now
arises "are these plates furnished by
free silver moneyed men and com
bi s?" The Republicans have been
sending out these "plates" to the
press and the Populist have claimed
that they were supplied by "Wail
Street" and other combines, and that
the party run by such a "trust"
should be voted out of power. Won

"trust" out of power, or keep them

Beauty wanes
eyes grow dim and black encircled—radi
ance fades from the skin—a leathery look
supplants the soft peachy appearance—age
comes before life has fairly begun. These
are but outward signs of the death that
lurks within. These are only danger sig
nals. Careless or too busy doctors make a
hundred diagnoses and prescribe for nerv
ousness, for insomnia, for indigestion—for a
hundred different diseases. They are wrong

When a woman fades—grows old, weak,
sick—the trouble is almost always with the
organs that make her a woman—the most
important, the most delicate, the most sen
sitive, the most vital organs in her whole
body. They are so closely knit with the
fibres of her life that a disorder here means
disorder everywhere and anywhere. Such
disorders call for the expert skill of the
specialist. Such a specialist is Dr. R. V.
Pierce, who for over thirty years has been
chief consulting physician and surgeon of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y. Afflicted women should
write to him and should in any case begin
at once to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
