Flags of all nations to be used for the exterior

decorating will be done under the supervision OF
Miss Thompson, Mr.. Ford, and Mr.. COlvilie. 1t
will thus be seen that attraction is to be offered

the gallant John blow, which was in

SIR Il see by the St. Paul Press OF
recent date, an account of what il
calls Grange Disturbance, at this
place. which is such a preversion of
facts, that desire to set the matter in
its true light. A Grange is supposed
to be secret society. and what occurs
within its gates to be known only to its
attending members. There was no
meeting for the election of officers, as
the Press has it, nor was our Worthy
Master. Hon. Ebenezer Ayres, candi-
date for reelection at that or any 9TH
er time but it is true that trivial az
fair occurred, after the close of the
meeting, that grew out of what had
transpired before, and caused mainly
by outside meddling with Grange af-
fairs The Hon. J.lW ..Furber. the Mo-
nopoly member of the Legislature; Sam,
1.-The living Christian. his brother. and
a Backyard named Ned Farming, are
the prominent leaders of ''the Furber
clique, who are not Changers, but the
active and undisguised enemies thereof.
Unfortunately for our Grange,
they have too much influence over GER
tain weak and misguided members for
its harmony and success, and entertain
special dislike for the Master thereof.

supposed that the Agricultural Department
was bureau Of the Department OF the Interior
aud the resolution directed the Secretary OF the
Interior to furnish copy Of the document
Secretary Deano replied that he had no con-
troll over the document, and commissioner

Marsh's paper because he wanted TO use 1t 10
his next report Mr.. kasson then offered

paper in question, but Mr.. Hoar said that
there was DO law giving the House the power
OF requiring the Commissioner to furnish ln-

guar Cabinet Departments. The House con-
Guided to as>er, the power, however, aud let

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-10
Homes for the People.

John Wann has gotten up good pro
Ject. He proposes to sell $50 lots in
the NEST desirable part Of St. Paul, for
$500 each; and give each purchaser
chance to draw his handsome residence
estimated to be worth $25.OOO, with
trees, stabling, outhouses, &C., and also
chance to draw one Of the forty-nine
other lots. valued at from $500 to $1,000,
according to location. The advantage
of the plan is, that every purchaser is
certain to secure a lot in growing part
Of st. Paul, which is estimated to be
worth to-day $500, and which will soon
be worth the full amount of $500, which
he pays for his share; while fate may
decide that he will draw the handsome
mansion, or one of the other forty.nine
superior lots. As there are so prizes
and only $50 shares, each purchaser
will have one chance out of about 10
to draw a prize. This is a
much better show than most lotteries
afford.
The growth Of St. Paul and all our
large cities, is simply question Of time.
1t is determined by the fact that the
birth rate of the civilized races far ex-
ceeds the death rate; hence increased
population; hencee migration and coloni-
zation /; hence more mouths to feed and
more demand for the cereals; hence
development Of our agricultural re-
gions; and hence growth of our towns
and cities. The little "set. backs such
as we are now experiencing, itensifed
by bad laws and corrupt administra-
tions, are simply the lapses between the
waves of the advancing tide.
The man who buys lots in the sub
urbs of St. Paul at anything like reason
able figures, cannot lose money. So far
as Mr.. Wann's scheme tends to afford
homes to the people, it is deserving of
public encouragement.
