The bill appropriating money to
aid the State Of Minnesota in secur-
ing a representation Of her products
at the Paris Worlds Fair, came up
in the committee Of the whole, last
Wednesday. Mr.. Lienau, the origi-
nator of the bill, said he had hoped
that the State might by judicious
action now, partially recover from
the loss that was inflicted upon the
State by misrepresentation at Phi
ladelphia, but as public sentiment
seemed to be opposed to any attempt
to place Minnesota before the world
at Paris, he moved the indefinite
postponement Of the bill, and it was
then killed.

the village Of Sleepy Eye, passed the
House Tuesday, Jan. 20, by a vote
of Is in the affirmative.

Sitting Bull once more on United

A dispatch was received at Army
Headquarters in St. Paul last Fri

the same day, saying that General
Miles is preparing to take the field
at once, with several companies of

OUR MILITIA.

By the St. Paul papers Of last
Wednesday we see that the military
men Of Wisconsin, interested in the
militia organization Of that State,
have. held a meeting at Madison and
appointed a committee to draft an
address to the legislature and a bill
for presentation giving the views Of
the convention. The plan proposed
is for twenty four companies Of in
fantry, to be formed into two regi-
ments, with two independent COM
panies Of cavalry and one of artiller-
~, the State to furnish q money al
lowance for uniforms, drill rooms
or armories, and to pay each man
the expense Of battalion encamp-
ments at one dollar and fifty cents
a day, for five days in each year.
Now as we are interested in the
militia organization Of this State,
and have kept up we'll disciplined
and uniformed company for the last
six years, at an individual expense,
we would be pleased to see the mill
tary men of Minnesota take some
similar action to those Of Wiscon-
sin.
In 1913, through he indomitable
energy Of Mark D. Flower, then
Adjutant General Of the State, very
efficient militia organization was es-
Etablished: but the organization be-
ing composed to a large extent, Of
men who had to make their living
by hard labor, men who were I'M
able to bear the expense Of uniform
ing, hall or armory rent, and the
State through the representatives in
the Legislature continuously refusing
to vote a small pecuniary appropri-
alton for the maintenance Of the or
ganization, it soon became an orga-
nization that existed only on paper.
We think it would be for the bene,
fit of the State to keep up q small
militia organization, say one regi-
nlent of infantry, one company each
of cavalry and artillery, under a
similar law to the one proposed by
the military men Of Wisconsin. The
cost Of maintaining such an organi-
zation would be small, and would be
money we'll expended.
Let the military men Of Minneso.
ia follow the example of Wisconsin,
1 let there be {. meeting called at St.
Paul at once. inviting the attend
ance Of the military committees Of
the Legislature and Of every one
interested in the work. A plan Of
organization can then be agreed
upon, and presented to the Legis
lature. # anything is done, it must
| de done at once.

The first of q series of concerts was
given Last evening ut Recreation Hall
by Blind Tom, tie world famed pianist,
to a large and a~ppreciative audience.
Many Of the best amateur musicians
In the city were pteseut, and judging
by the applause bestowed throughout
the entertainment, it Is but fair to
judge that it met the expectations OF
even the most critical. Besides being
an excellent pianist, Tom possesses
wonderful vocal powers. US was shown
by his beautiful rendition of Rocked
in the Cradle Of the Deep" and other
well known selections. Words fail to
express the remarkable cuntrvl lie
maintains over the piano. Among the
more meritorious offerings OH that in.
strument We recall to mind, ''Vive Ia

Trovatore" and Battle vt Manassas .
This afternoon u matinee will be
held at 2 o'clock; fifty cen for adults

time this evening at 8 o'clock. Those
fond of superb music should not fail tt

Improbable Probabilities.

potion OF the dispatches now-a.da, 8 on
the European war question. If Count
>houvelof does this, tile English gov
ernment will do that, hut in the event
of the Count doing something else,
Austria will pursue Il different course,
no matter what England may do. But
there is u strong probability that neith-
er Russia, England nor Austria will do
anything Of the sort, and in that event
the Turks won't do what they intended
tn. 1t Is ''rumored" and '~'suspected''
that Lord Salisbury has a halfway no.
tion Of doing something within a very
few days which will surprise some of
t lie Powers, rs they have no idea that
lie contrmplates anything of that des-
cription. But if and so the kilograms
run from first to last. One day it is
war; tile next, peace. You see a pros
pect of having the congress to-day, and
tomorrow YOU don't see it. Pay your
money and take your choice.
