Is patriotism forever dead? Have these
men no sense Of shame that they can de-
liberately swear that they have always in
the past been liars, can they deny that to
be law, which they have always declared to
be law, simply because BY 50 doing their
party candidate may lose if they abide by
the belief they have heretofore professed.
Should Tilden be defeated by such means
he towers infinitely above Hayes, though
Hayes should take the Presidential chair,
through such an ocean of fraud. perjury and
crime. The democrats can better afford to
lose the election than abase themselves to
the position now occupied by the republican
leaders. Better to die honorable men, than
to live in dishonor.-Winona Herald.
We wouldn't do anything of the kind,
friend Whipple. Only think of it.
Why, if you die you'll have to lie in the
"'cold, cold ground" and you won't
know who is president. No, no, Whip

like little man and strive to do better
hereafter. As for Tilden's towering

The Folly Of It.
RED WING, Feb. 18th II.

1E1O W INV GVVs ~ VA S6s
Mr.. Editor:-I was glad to see in
the ADVANCE this week well-timed
rebuke of the "Jenkinsism' of publish
ing a description Of the ladies' Dress
es worn at a recent party. But there
is much more to find fault with in mat
ters of that sort than the writer of that
letter pointed out. Not only are such
notices offensive to every lady of refine
ment, but their influence on others can
only be injurious.
We all know that the spirit of rival
ry is very strong in humanity generally,
and that we are prone to strive to excel
in whatever elicits applause. .e,
Already our inclination to worship
fine clothes is strong enough to do an
infinite deal Of harm in the world. We
are likely to overlook our real necessi.
ties oftentimes to crafty a foolish am
bition to dress better than our neigh
bors, and as the majority Of US are un-
able to command sufficient means to
vie with the few who are wealthy, 1t IS
not seldom the case that great unhappi-
ness is caused by inability to grati6y

"A most distressing case of hom.
icidc occurred few days ago in
Minneapolis. One Kate Noonan,
whose parents live in Wright county,
but who had been employed as
domestic in Minneapolis for several
years, shot and killed a young man
named w. H. Sidle, of that city.
The girl declares that Sidle made
her drunk and, while in that condi.
ton, ruined her; and since that
time has used her vilely. That the
killing was premeditated and that
she only regretted that she had
been prevented from killing herself:
Sidle was of respectable family, and
was employed in one of the Minnea-
polls banks. The friends and &C
quaintances of Miss Noonan ex-
press their belief that the girl has
been partially crazy since her seduc-
ton by Sidle.
"A correspondent writes a
lengthy and ingenious argument, to
prove that it is more likely that the
seven members of the high joint
commission, who voted on the Til
den side, are wrong, than that the
eight are who opposed them. We
have not room for the letter in full,
but here is the pith of it: us it
correct to presume that men gener-
ally are honest :" Our correspon-
dent decides this in the affirmative.
He then concludes that eight men
are more likely to be honest and
right than seven. We agree with
him. The chances of his theory
being true are as 8 is to 7. This is
mathematical demonstration and
will not admit of doubt.
The New York Sun is very inl-
prudent. Being regarded as the es-
pecial and authoritative mouthpiece
of Samuel J. Tilden, its constant
abuse of Gov. Hayes is certainly un-
seemly. Since his nomination Gov.
Hayes seems to have kept himself
! singularly free from censurable con-
duct. He has neither done nor said
aught that most inveterate enemy
could object to, yet the Sun persists
daily in speaking of him in the most
offensive terms, until even many of
the democratic papers of the coun-
try feel called upon to rebuke it.
1t does not help the cause Of its
party by pursuing the course it does.

this silly vanity. OF course, if to the
existing incentives to unwise excesses
in this direction, is added the influence
Of newspaper notoriety, this pride will
be inAamed, especially in those who
like notoriety, and greater extravagance
resulting in increased unhappiness must
follow. -4.... ,.~,..,.... ...
Now, wen-made and cleanly apparel
is necessity of social life, and those
who can afford to do so, do right to
have costly dresses; but surely the wear
ing Of expensive clothes is one of the
poorest and meanest recommendations
to public esteem that can be cited, be-
cause very many can avail themselves
of this poor merit, who have none other
whatever. While would not be under
stood as finding fault with costly ap-
parel and handsome decorations, I
think we ought all to strive to attract
attention to and call forth praise of
other qualities. Instead of being puff
fed up by the reputation Of being the
best dressed women in a circle, it
strikes me that it would be far more
creditable to be spoken of as the bes:
informed, the most interesting conver-
sationalist, the most amiable and grace
full, &c., and if newspaper writer's must
be personal in their descriptions and
compliments, let them turn their atten-
tention to something that deserves COM
plimenting.
1t is certainly wrong to encourage ex-
travagance and this cannot be done more
efectually than by praising people be-
cause of the dresses they wear. There
is enough of this kind Of extravagance
already, and enough Of discomfort,
bankruptcy, poverty, and even crime
occasioned by it. It should be discour-
aged rather than commended,

A Building Association.

An effort is being made to organ
ize in this city building association
with a capital stock of 100000,
and about half the amount is already
subscribed. The object is to aid
people of small capital to build
homes for themselves, or pay off
existing membranes upon their
homes, by the payment of small
amounts monthly. We have not
space at present to describe at
length the manner of working Of as
sociations Of this character, but an
experience of some thirty years in
the eastern cities proves them to be
truly benfcial institutions.
The usual plan, and that contem-
plated here, is to divide the capital
stock in $50 shares and limit the
amount to be taken by one individ-
ual to one-twentieth of the whole
number. Upon each share
monthly payment of IS cents is ex-
acted. AS fast as the money is re-
ceived it is to be loaned out, on
good real estate security, to men,
bers of the association. The loans
being made to the party bidding the
highest premium at each monthly
meeting.
No member can borrow more
than the aggregate amount of stock
held by him, and he is required to
pay premium, interest and INSTALL
ments every month. An admittance
fee of Is cents is also exacted.
The great advantage is that it en-
ables people of limited means to
build homes by the payment of
small installments monthly, and as
they are sharers in the profits &C.
cruing from interest, premiums,
fines, &C., they pay much less for
the use of the money borrowed,
than in the case Of ordinary loans.
Another considerable advantage is
the facility afforded to those of limi-
ted means for advantageous invest
ment of surplus money, if only
twenty-five cents per month.
We have known of number of
instances where poor men have &C.
quired comfortable homes for them
selves by means of building associa-
tions, when they could not have
done so otherwise. In one case
the party is now the owner of a
handsome brick residence worth at
least $4,000 which he paid for out
of rather meagre wages and mean
while supported a large family.
Those engaged in getting up this
association include some of our best
and most public spirited citizens.
The subscription lists are in the
hands of Messrs. J. M. Hodgman
and B. 3. Herbert, who will fully
explain the matter to any one ap-
plying to them.

"A negro man named Archy Walls
was shot and instantly killed by some
unknown party, at the residence of
Judge w. II. Roberts, near this place,
yesterday morning. Walls had been
in the employ of Judge Roberts for
some time, and the night previous to
his death had quarreled with another
negro named Martin Fields, who re-
Gently came here from Monroe. Fields
was heard to make threats against the
life of Walls, and soon after day-break
yesterday morning Judge Roberts and
family were startled by the report of a
gun in the yard, and fastening to the
scene, found Walls weltering in his
blood and life nearly extinct. He was
unable to make any statement and
there were no witnesses to the deed, but
there is not the slightest doubt on the
minds of our citizens but that the negro
Fields perpetrated the crime. He
(Fields) has not been seen in this vicin-
ity since the Union Record.
Martin was pretty wei! known in
Monroe, not as Il desperate character,
but as a big, black, wide-mouthed fell
low, with large feet, who did small jobs
for MIR. J. G. Sanders at his store.
Martin came to Monroe n fugitive from
Arkansas, where he was a deputy sher-
iff under the benign rule of Clayton,
in which capaciv he was guilty, it was
charged, OF maIfeasance in Office, a fact
not known here until he reversed his
politics-from Itadicalism to Democ-
racy. It was then that our sheriff,
Hamlet, arrested Martin, and then
those big black feet carried him Off
He is a tall, gangling, loose-jointed
black, with red eyes, wide mouth,
laughs all over his face and will laugh
at nothing. Look out for him.

j. II. Dinkgrave, ESD, appears TO be
afflicted with the idea that he is very
prominent young man. The public is
favored with an advertisement in the
Intelligencer from Mr.. Dinkgrave, the
purport of which is that the Manhattan
Life Insurance Company would not in
sure his life because he was a Radical.
Or, in the words Of the Company's
refusal, this climate is considered I'M
favorable to ''longevity." This is a
very grave accusation against the ap-
plicant, Mr.. d., and also against our
ciimate-an accusation brought against
the "lonyevity" of every man and
woman in this country, black and
white. 1t seems to us that the country
ought to be aroused. Resolutions
ought to be passed denouncing this
climate, and proposing II ssswap" with
any other climate. Here is something
to work on, and something calling for
immediate action. Eveu the catfish
are in danger. There is demand for
action but before action is taken, and
resolutions are passed, we will drop the
remark that, along with the refusal of
tie Manhattan company to take Mr..
Dinkgrave's risk, as an applicant for
life reinsurance, there were several others
and some of them were good Demo-
crats.
