Tue elahoration of financial THEORIES s:!I

| Tue elaboration of financial theories s::ll
continues in the Senate to the detriment of
more practical legislation, and the prospect of
lis suspension is not bright. When the Com
n,ittee ON Finance called for All expression OF
views to determine the actual sentiment pre-
vailins, # WAS not the suppositIon that q DC
hating lyceum would Ike inauS,irated which
| would eliminate ia an exhaustlcss struggle to
/, destroy every proposition asserted. But the
| diversity Of thought in committee compelled
the appeal to Tie parn: body, leaving the lack
| Of utility in the project to be manifested by
| the actual result attained. When public bust
ness is suffering from this Troaisatc cxpcnlii IRE
of time there should TO accssa ION T.. argument
AMI r>:Grl TO TIE original primo ii.!"s Of legis
lati,e att:oa. The tankru.s bill is awaiting
consideration, AMI the louisiana contested
election also sa:.trs rcyiect. And it is now
certain from the variety Of Suggestions evolved
that tho committee will have to originate
their own measure in the legitimate aTl
usual way. Tie session yesterday Was but
a repetition or previous ecenes, tho only diff
fcrrrce Icing the appearance of enc or
two new actors. Sono little interest
was created by the mastery r,cnner in which
Senator Morton disposed OF the "poin:s' made
by Senator Schurz on the day previous. But
this rearing OF a structure and then it's s,ibsc-
qae,It overthrow is very nice In q rhetorical
sense, but benefits little the paralyzod CON-
minity seeking for help. After further de-
bate. which can only provoke rs2!y, the day
terminated with an executive session..
In the House the dulln rs was only destroyed
by the occasional exhibition of spleen by the
Democrats. With little to provoke i'll com
nicnt, the Marin, Corps was given lis annual
casisation, Which administered, i: was suffered
TO drop. An iinportau. innovation in this
branch was made. Hitherto an appropriation
for two Thousand men has been al!owcd, tus
this year raaney for only flflrcn hrI:rired men
is provided. Before the final passage of The
bill an effort was made 10 annex nn ams,ri-
ment declaring it n misleI,eancr for any tiov-

Of all present. The dinner will be in
the shape Of Il basket picnic, and there
will be plenty provided for all who can
no, make it convenient to bring edibles
along. Let none hesitate to come be-
cause they cannot conveniently bring a
basketiul. The committee on speakers
have prepared ten or twelve toasts
which will b. responded to in five min
ute speeches. Each speaker will be
limited strictly to five minutes. These
exercises will be entirely informal, and
it will not BE- considered breach of
decorum for persons to absent them
selves frou the speaking and engage in
any other recreation or enjoyment pro.
yid,d it does not interfere with the
speaking.
Il would be we'll for persons to bring
aI'n= croquct sets, and in every way
possible prepare for an enjoyable ooca-
siof: Let no means calculated to en-
hancc the enjoyment Of the occasion be
"aittcd. Let every one make it his
business to contribute something toward
the SUCCESS Of this movement, and then
we shall have something of which we

THE FIRST MINNESOTA.
Seventh Annual Reunion Of the Regl-
ment at Lake City.

Special Correspondence Of the GRANGE ADVANCE
LAKE C1TY, June 20, 1874.
Thursday, the 10th, being the day set for
the celebration, the clerk of the weather
smiled approvingly upon the proceedings
and furnished a most magnificent day, al.
though it was rather warm.
About nine o'clock in the morning the
procession formed in front of the Lyon
House, under the command Of Major
Doughty, and marched to the levee where
the Saltwater boys were received with open
arms from off the steamer Osceola.
The entire procession then marched to
Opera Hall where Major Richardson for
mally received them in hospitable and ap-
propriate address.
AT the close of the Majors speech badges
were produced and placed by young and
lovely ladies-of which there were good
~ number-upon the breast of the brave
boys, as an emblem of honor and creden-
tial to the freedom Of the town.
Just before the procession again formed,
Major Van Vliet made a hearty and glorious
speech welcoming the onesters to the city.
The soldiers and their ladies then formed
in the following order:
Winona Brass Band Saltwater Cornet
Band; ex-soldiers of other regiments :;
First Regiment colors and four National
Flags; Mayor and Aldermen of Lake City :;
Commissioned Officers and wounded SOL
diers in carriages; First Regiment.
The procession numbered over seven hum
dred and traversed the city amid the ring
ing cheers Of the assembled multitude and
the roar Of artillery.
After the march business meeting was
held in Opera Hall, Joseph Harley served
as President and 8. B. Dilley as Sec.
The roll was called, and the following
Red Wingers responded: Col. VIM. COL
vile; Capt. Jas. A. Wright; Paul Nelson !;
D. Sehweiger John Bsrrous; VIM. Rid
dler; E. F. Grow; John Swanson; Samuel
Smith; A. Wright; W. L. Sexton. In all
there were one hundred and eighteen men,
bers Of the old LIST Regiment present.
About II o'clock the procession again
formed and proceeded to Music Hall, where
a sumptuous banquet was spread. On the
walls Of the hall were wresths Of ever
greens arranged in tasteful and pictur-
esque manner. The ladies more than out

The Fourth in GOOdhue County.

The arrangements for the celebration
at Bailey's Grove, in the town of Good
hue, on the Fourth Of July next, are
progressing very satisfactorily. This
will undoubtedly be the grandest cele-
bration ever held in Goodhue County,
There will probably be the largest con-
course of people ever assembled together
in this county. We think it was very
wise provision on the part of the Cen.
tral committee to prohibit the use of
powder in any manner whatever
upon or near the grounds. 1t is about
time we should stop blowing people to
pieces on the Fourth Of July. Never a
year passes but we hear Of persons be-
ing wounded, mangled and killed by
the use of powder on this day. Any
old rusty cannon that can be obtained
is supposed to be good enough for such
an occasion, and the result is it frequent
y bursts and causes more terrible exc
cutioh than an ordinary cannon would
if fired directly at the crowd at medium
range. Then again horses are frighten-
ed and teams run away and strew tho
ground with the wreck Of wagons and
human bodies. There will be none of
this at the Goodhue County celebration
Persons who have teams will not be
kept in perpetualsuspense for fear their
horses have taken fright at the last
boom of rusty old piece Of iron, or an'
vii, and broken loose ~.. -~

o1d themselves upon this occasion for the
layout was not to be surpassed. The most
delectable Of delicacies were furnished in
profusion, and never have we partaken of
more, in every way, acceptable dinner.
At the close of the banquet Major Van
Vliet, Master Of Toasts, read suitable senti-
ments, which were responded to with prop
er enthusiasm; also DR.. Murphy Of St.
Paul and Col. Colville of Red Wing made
rsttling speeches which received deserved
applause. The ladies Of Lake City.
Col. Colville and the soldiers of the
Republic each and all were HEARTILY
cheered and then the company ap.in re-
turned to Opera Hall.
Business was resumed, and it was decid-
ed to hold the next reunion at Minneapolis,
Thursday, the 18th Of June, 1876. VIM.
Lochren, Of Minneapolis, was chosen Pres
dent Of the Association for the ensuing
year. After transacting other business Of
minor mention and passing fitting resolu-
tion Of thanks to the citizens of Lake City,
the meeting was adjourned.
A trotting race for purse Of 800,
which was won by Bird Catcher. of Red
Wing, took place in the afternoon. Also
running race, won by a Maiden Rock
horse.
In the evening grand hop took place in
Opera Hall which was very generally at
tended. A suitable and elegant supper
was furnished by Mr.. Ditmar, Of the Lyon
House.
Among those in attendance we noticed
the irrepressible "Duke," Of Wabasha:
Fisher, of Saltwater, who, it will be re-
membered by the Onesters, 'swouldn't let
any id sheep bite him." and Ed. Stevens,
Of Minneapolis, who, unfortunately, was
attacked with pleurisy and dipsomania. At
the dance Viii! Whitney, Charley Dean, and
others managed the thing in a business-like
manner, and also made themselves generally
agreeable.

Times are hard money scarce ; re-
trenchment necessity; and where will
we begin? Not at tobacco. Oh, no
couldn't exist without that. Must have
something to ruminate upon in this cud-
chewing world, and what is more delec-
table to the taste than tobacco, whisky
and cigars ? Well, yes; those are for
times Of recreation when we get away
froul work; couldn't retrench on them.
They are necessary to the wear and tear
of every day life; * little satis6ers" "
that don't cost much and afford so much
comfort. No, We must look in some
other direction. We might throw up
the races and the club dances; but
then one must have some place of rem
dervous where he can see old chums and
have good time. What is the use of
passing through this life and ignoring
pleasure altogether? "All work and
no play makes Jack dull boy" Hold
on! I have just struck the trail there
is my paper. I can easily dispense with
that-that costs me dollar and half
a year by club. Stop my paper; ex-
travagances must be dispensed with.

HARPER's MONTHLY for June has the
following coming from a Kansas judge
which as specimen Of strategy is Ger.
tainly ahead.
"The town of c. in Kansas, issued
bonds for schooi-houses. bridges rail-
roads, ETC., with great prodigality, until
now the bonded indebtedness is nearly
$500: 900, and the rate Of taxation nine
and half per cent. No community
can stand such taxation as that, and to
avoid it the citizens have bought a
quarter section Of land adjoining the
town site, laid it off into lots and blocks,
and are moving every building from the
old to the new town site. The old town
site will soon be a deserted tract of 100
acres, with bonded debt Of 5000, 900.
The new town starts off with public
buildings and private dwellings CON-
plete, and in fine running order, and
without any bonded or paper indebted
ness. They inflated the old debt. as
much as she could stand, and let her
burst. But for. the new town-not
