HE MORAL RESPONSIBILITY OF TIL
:. STATE TO THE NATION.

0A<AA1 ~ 1t1G NAHUM
Every one outside of the State is con-
WINGED that Minnesota is legally and
equitably bound for. this Indebtedness,
and the Supreme. Court Of the United
Stat sshas. given. its j solemn judg nSent
to the same effect. Asia member Of
1.-The Onion, we are under obligations to
REFRAIN from any course which will iii:
Jure American credit abroad, so that
reputation in any form by a State is
not only suicidal so far as her own par
tlclllar interests are concerned, but is 4
Crime against the nation. -:
/ :. THE HONOR OF THE STATE. ~
I repeat what have heretofore fire.
quently asserted that the honQrs Of
Minnesota shall be held to be far more
precious than any object of merely ma
terial value, such as dollars and cents.
We owe 1T to God, to the American
people, to ourselves, and to our poster
ity, to transmit the name Of this noble
young State to a: succeeding generation
bright and unsullied. 1 have striyen
for many years to bring about some ad-
justment Of these old bonds, upon a
basis OF right and justice, knowing as I
did that Minnesota was suffering in
character and in all her public interests,
by her delay in responding to the ap-
peals of her creditors My zeal was no
doubt, quickened: by the fact that my
official Signatures attached to these
dishonored obligations, but as citizen
of the State, apart from that consider
alton, I have felt, keenly, how eqt,ivo-
cal and humiliating has been her posi-
ton before the world. 80 ..
LET THE STATE NOW REDEEM HER
REPUTATION.
I dismiss the special pleading and
petty technicalities, with which this
subject has been beclouded and mysti.
fed, and which have been put forward
as q justification for the refusal of the
State to act honestly, as utterly unwor-
thy of consideration by common
wealth, that at this late day has an op-
portunity to atone for past neglect,
and thus be restored to good standing
in the sisterhood of States. These
sophistries have been exposed and ex-
ploded both by our own citizens and by
Others, until there is left of them no
shred to cover the shame Of Minnesota
from the public gaze. Let us embrace
the opportunity now afforded us of con-
Guiding the mooted question forever,
and Minnesotians can once more look
their fellow men in the face without
blushing for their State.
ENLIGHTENED SELF-INTEREST DE-
MANDs THIS SETTLEMENT.
Minnesota, like all new and rapidly
expanding States. must for many years
be a borrower. Her people want mon
ey at low rates of interest, and this
they can never hope to accomplish un-
til financial credit is restored, and cap
italists abroad are convinced that the
State and her citizens can be depended
upon to meet their obligations. In this
case, as in every other, ''honesty is the
best policy.'
Respectfully,
HENRY III. SIBLEY.

THE RING ORGAN.

The Journal of last week devoted a
column to defending the. Worthington
Ring and Worthington Ringism.
Didn't we tell you so? Has not every
word we uttered last year about the
objects and the animus of the Journal
,,een fulfilled to the very letter, and
more than fulfilled? Did we not say
that the sole object was to keep half
dozen hungry otfice-seekers in Office and
to put down by personal villifcation
and SANDER, every man who did not
wear the Ring Yoke? We ask every
candid man in Mie county whether our
statements have not been verified to
the very letter by the course Of the in
famous Journal?
This blast of the Journal is the sound
ing of the Ring war-note for the COM
ing campaign. Already they are MAX
ing up the slate, and the Journal is
beginning to sound the note of praise
of the individual members of the Ring.
The people are to be cajoled, ard wheed-
led, and if that will not do, trlcked in
to keeping little clique of Worthing-
ton men in Office.
As for the ADVANCE, put it down
where it has always stood, as the Peo-
PIES Paper and the Farmers Friend.
Put us down against all rings, and es-
pecially against the little torn ring.
which has concentrated all the offices
upon itself to the almost-entire exclu-
sion Of the farmers.
If the ADVANCE is to have any in
fluence during the coming campaign.
that influence will be exerted in favor
of selecting a majority, at least, if not
all, of our county officers from the
ranks of our farmers. Let the town
men, who have other means of support,
and especially let the Ring men, who
have been tided easily over the grass
hopper bar on which so many farmers
have been stuck, stand aside and give
the long:suffering, resolute, intelligent
farmers a chance.
Our readers will hear from us fire.
quently Oh this subject before the CAM
paign is over. And let the farmers
speak out freely through the AD-
VANCE

Tie NATURE Ot THE OppOSlTION.
The opponents of the contemplated
settlement are, by no means, agreed up
OH any other plan. A few take the ex-
IRENE ground that Minnesota does not
owe anything upon the bonds; larger
class acknowledge the Indebtedness but
claim that the State should ascertain
the exact sum paid by the present hold
ers, and refund the amount with inter-
est; while the remainder clamor for the
rejection of the amendment, without
any fixed purpose for the future, but
witha vague hope that still more fa.
vorable conditions can he extOrted
from our creditors. No scheme of adj:
justment that could De devised would
satisfy men holding such widely diver
gent views, so that even if the present
proposition was voted down, we should
he farther than ever from any conclu-
sion which would extricate the State
from her advertisements, and in the
meanwhile she would sink deeper and
deeper in the public estimation, until
finally compelled to pay every dollar of
the bonds with interest. For it is
sheer nonsense to contend that we can
defy the whole world in this matter.

ALL SAINTS DAY.

To-day Ia festival in honor OF all the angels
and saints in Heaven-who Of us all has not q
saint or angel, whose body is under the sod and
and whose soul fits beyond the known spheres,
TO whom he looks back with tears OF regret and
all the poetry that can adorh the memory OF the
lost loves ones departed. This festival is OBJ
served by the Catholics. Professionals, Episcopals
and Lutherans.
Ia the Eastern churches il dates from the
fourth century. Pope Boniface instituted 1t in
the beginning of the seventh century on the %
casion of the dedication to the Blessed Virgin
aud all the saints Of the pantheon, built by
Marcus Agrippa in the year g. before Christ. in
honor Of Jupiter the Avsngsr aud all the Gods.
The church, thus transformed and dedicated. Is
still in existence, and allied the Rotunda. The
feast Only became enersl in the ninth century.
end s now one Of the most beautiful OF the marvel
osly poetcal institutions OF the Church OF Christ.
Yesterday all the cemeteries were alive with
parents. friends and wotkingmen, the former
directing the others in the holy work OF cleaning
up and preparing to adorn the graves OF their
departed loved ones. To-day all the graves will
be whitened and redolent with flowers,
custom, tradition and holy sentiment will bring
to the shrines Of The departed all those who ever
loved or honored them, and if 1t be true that the
souls severed from their bodies retain some OF
the feelings that caused their hearts 10 beat dur
ing life, many will be the ethersal smiles that
will illuminate the ghostly faces OF the spirits in
heaven,
