.Mcssrs. Editors Much excitement
existed during the session of the Legis-
lature relative to the success Of the bill
providing for the expenditure of the twen-
ty thousand dollars appropriated by the
18th section of the Organic Act of the
Territory of Minnesota, for the erection
of public buildings at temporary seat of
government, and although believing from
the wording of the law, that Congress
intended the appropriation only for build
lngs at the permanent seat of govern
ment. after its location BY cote Of the
people, still many protested to believe it
was intended for, and could be expended
at, temporary location, among whom
understood was one of the judges of the
Supreme Court, and other high public
functionaries. Being determined to sa-
tisfy myself by enquiring Of the Secretary
of the Treasury of the United States, OH

letter to the Department on the subject,
and by the last mail, received the fol-
lowing reply.

Mn. WEBSTER AND THE DARTMOUTH
COLLEGE Casa correspondent of
the Boston Journal, ga Stranger in Bos-
tom" relates the following interesting
Iemlnlscence:
"In calling up the memory ofthat great
civilian, Judge Story am reminded
Of an interesting anecdote he related.
1t was in 1885, | was attending the cir
cult court in Portland, and boarded at
the same hotel with Judge Story and
some of the bar. One day after dinner,
as we sat listening to,his rich converse
tion, some one spoke of the Dartmouth
College question, when Judge Story de-
scribed to US the first appearance of the
mower Of Mr.. Webster, as evinced in
that celebrated case. He spoke of him
az stranger, but little known at that
time. The trial came on in March, 1918.
The court room was crowded. Many
distinguished spectators were present.
The case was of no common kind
i touched the happiness, the preserya-
ton, the glory Of our common country ;
for every college and seminary of learn
ing in the Union was interested in the
result. Mr.. Webster felt the magnitude
Of his cause, and the great responsibility
resting upon his shoulders. He rose up
to address the court. Every eye was
fixed upon him--every ear was open.
He began slowly and in low voice.
His nerves were slightly tremulous, and
the papers shook in his hand. His face
looked troubled-the deep anxiety por-
trayed in his features, excited the SYM
patty of the kindest feelings of the court
for one who stood before them, a modest,
uaassuming man, stranger, and with
an overwhelming brow and look Of no
common care. But he went on, step by
step, with arguments. with authorities,
with appeals to the supreme tribunal be-
fore hin-each step his voice rose into
energy and power-his face frightened
up. his eye kindled, and ere long, the at
fention became so profound, and the In
terest Of the whole assembly so great.

the manner in which he presented it, that

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Oct IN 1910

WI. wv. lOb''
Swi:-Your letter Of the 18th inst, is
received, enquiring whether ''thc $40,
1000 appropriated for the erection OF
''Public Buildings in Minnesota can be
Expended, previous to the location OF
''the permanent seat of government by
"a vote of the people,"
1t is provided by the 18th section Of
the act to establish the Territorial gov
ernment of Minnesota, approved 3D. of
March, lS49, that the Governor and Lee
gislative Assembly, shall at such time as
they shall see proper, prescribe by law
the manner Of locating the permanent
seat of government Of said Territory by
a vote Of the people. And the sum of
twenty thousand dollars out of any mo-
''ney in the Treasury not otherwise ap-
"propriated, is hereby appropriated and
granted to said Territory of Minnesota,
$50 be applied by the Governor and Le-
"gislative Assembly to the erection of
suitable public buildings at the seat of
government. 10
In view of the antecedent, and the OBJ
ject Of this appropriation, the Depart
ment cannot doubt that the public build
ings in question, can only be erected at
the permanent seat of government, To-
Gated as prescribed. Of course the reply
to your enquiry must be, that nothing
can be expended from this appropriation
until after the location shall be duly
made.
Very respectfully,
Your obed't. serv't.,
w. II. MEREDITH,
Secretary Of the Treasury.
JosEPH II. Brown.
st. Paul, NJ. L.
The above letter shows the construc-
ton placed upon the law by the Treasu-
~ Department, and shows conclusively
that if the act which was so tenaciously
supported by portion Of the Legisla.
tive Assembly had become law, il
would, as the money could not have beer
obtained under its provisions, have beer
of no avail whatever; while if the Leg
islature had passed an act authorizing
the permanent location of the seat o
government by vote of the people, The
expenditure of the money appropriated
| by Congress, would have been secured
to the Territory within the next year
and the Territory would at an early pc.
riod, have been supplied with the neces-
sary public buildings.
1t has always appeared to me, a per-
feet torture to the Queens English, ,
to construe the wording of the 18th sec.
ton of the Organic Act, to confer any
power ON the Territory to expend the
money for any purpose but that of erect
ing buildings at the permanent seat o
government. Congress never yet ha.
shown disposition to build more thar
one Capitol for Territory, and by tn,
power conferred on the Legislature O
prescribing any time they may see proper
when the permanent seat of government
could be located, shows they had no in
tention of commencing, and probably
completing public buildings at one place
just in time to have the people by vote
declare the capital of the Territory mus
be at another.
Respectfully, your obdt. servt,
JOSEPH X. BROWN.

The Past year in Minnesota,

nc ASt tCai IA lhluACsOtIs
The past has been an eventful year
in the history of Minnesota. One year
ago, Minnesota was a mere fragment Of
territory thrown aside in cutting Wis
consin-regarded as the mere sewage,
which could never be made up into any
thing useful or ornamental. The re-
sources ofthis region, were undeveloped
almost, and but little known The val
ue and extent of our prairies was mat
ter of mere speculation--that belt of
alluvion, extending for hundreds of miles
along the shores of the ST. Peters river,
with intervals of smooth, level ground,
opening out between dense masses of
forest--the region of rich undulating
plain and oak openings, interspersed
with pebbly lakes and island groves. oc-
cupying the wide space between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers, had been
explored by only here and there trap
per or voyageur. The resources of our
territory in copper ore, likely to be un-
surpassed by any in the world, were lost
sight of; and even the gigantic water
power of St. Anthony, evidently design
ed to do the work of millions of hands
fashioned and placed in this most bracing
of all climates, expressly to aid man in
every branch Of manufacture which hu-
man ingenuity has invented or can in
vent, wasted its mighty strength in vain
and was visited by the traveller and look
ed upon as an object of sublimity merely
not of utility. Such was the condi-
ton of this region one year ago-with-
out government, without name-al-
most without the hope of either. Our
delegate-well, he did his duty--he did
no man could do more than he did.
The organic act was passed; and from
that moment, our territory has advanced
to greatness with unparalleled strides
With the opening of the river, came
boats, passengers, goods, cattle, every
species of property ever known or heard
of-from that hour until the close OF
navigation-not spar sely or occasional
ly; but in continued throng; filling all
the houses and ware houses and spill
ling out upon the shores. One thing
very important to be learned and which is
now beginning to be known all over the
Union, is, that we not only have the most
healthful climate in the world and an ex-
tremely productive soil, but that our eli
mate is admirably adapted to all the ag-
ricultural products ofthe middle states
and that the division of industry and la
Dor between numbering, mining, boating
and manufacturing, III addition to sup
plies required for the garrisons and the
Indian nations which the Government
has cornered up here, to be fed mostly by
the bounty of government, ensures te
Minnesota better market for the pro,
ducts ofthe farmer than is afforded by
any other part of the west.

THE JEw.-''Talk ofpcdigrees, says
Blackwood, tell US Of the Ialbots, Per-
cys, Towards, and like mushrooms of
yesterday Show me Jew, and we
will show you man whose genealogical
tree springs from Abraham's bosom,
whose family is older than the decalogue,
and who bears incontrovertible evidence
in every line of his oriental co,intenance,
Of the authenticity of his descent through
myriads of successive generations. You
see in him a living argument of the truth
Of divine revelation; and in him, you be-
hold the literal fulfilment of the prophe-
cies; with him you ascend the stream of
time, not voyaging by the help of the
dim, uncertain, and fallacious light of
tradition, but guided by an emanation OF
the light which, to his nation, was a
cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night;
in him you see the representative of the
once favored nation of God, to whom, as
to the chosen of mankind, He revealed
himself their legislator, protector and
king; who brought them ont of the land
Of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
You behold him established, as it were,
forever, in the pleasant places allotted
him, you trace him by the peculiar mer-
cy of his God, in his transitory states
from bondage to freedom; and by the
innate dep-avity of his hannah nature,
from prosperity to insolence, ingratitude
and rebellion. Following him on, you
find him the serf of Rome; you trace
him from the Wondering ashes Of Jeru-
salem, an outcast and wanderer in all
lands; the prosecutor of Christ, you find
him the prosecuted of Christians, bear
ing all things. strong in the pride of hu-
man knowledge, stiff-necked and gain

will have mercy ON Jacob, and will yet
choose Israel, and will set them in their
own land; and the strangers shall be
Joined with them, and they shall cleave

InstaIiment Of Indians.

Last Tuesday week, the Senator on
her trip up, took on board, short dis
lance above Prarie du CHEN, about one
hundred Winnebago Indians. They had
been back in Wisconsin the past year,
having refused to go up with the rest OF
the tribe in June. They and their pro-
perry constituted motley groupe OF

As the boat neared the shore, there was
u sudden commotion, especially among
the women. Each seized her pack, con-
tanning all the kitchen furniture and
movable property of the family, with a
papoose or a dog, perhaps, peering out
from among the variety, and swinging
the whole burden upon her back, EN-
harked with steady step, and appar-
ENTITY not little proud of her great
strength. The lords of creation stood
and looked on, with their usual indifer-
ence, or paid only some tritling attention
to their rifles, or their scrawny nags
They were evidently poor, having been
absent from the last annual payment o
their tribe, which was made at Grow
