caledonia Journal.-Dem.l

The prospectus is out fpr new Democratic
daily, to be published in st. Paul by Mr.. Il. P.
Hall, the founder, and for many years the ed
itor and proprietor, of the st. Paul Dispatch
It will be q newspaper in it's fullest sense, and
while it will be Democratic, it will not be SO
in the offensivesense, and will not 'blindly sup
port any man or measure bearing for the time
the label of Democracy, but in the broad, liberal
meaning of the term-the Democracy which
signifies government by the people, conduct
ed to advance the interests Of the whole peo-
ple.' 1t will favor the reconciliation of sill
yer and the repeal of the resumption act. It
will. in fact, be an Independent, wide.awake,
fearless, indomitable and ifrepressible news
paper, singing hot shot in every
direction where lie entrenched villany
and corruption. Look over the files of the
Dispatch for the years prior to 1876, and you
will get pretty good idea of what the DAnY
GLOBE will be-but if anything little more
SO. With any other man at the helm, the ques-
ton Of its success would be an open one, but
with Il. P. Hall there is no such word as fail.
He is the most energetic and tireless worker in
the United States, and when we add to this his
business sagacity, his versatile ability, his in
domitable pluck and good Judgment, there will
be no fears for the future of The GLOBE. It
will stick as long as its founder runs the ma

IN, Old Kentucky Duel.

Frankfort Commonwealth Bridgeport Letter
A duel was fought at Soap Island, in Bridge
port, in 1886. The participants were Shelton
and Kingsbury. Shelton thought it was real;
Kingsbury knew it to be joke. The guns were
loaded with soft soap. Shelton won the first
fire, banged away and dropped behind a log.
Kingsbury walked up, put the muzzle of the
gun against the head Of Shelton and pulled the
trigger. Such a looking man was never seen.
Soft soap covered his head entirely. In the
agony Of despair Shelton reached up got a
handful of the soap and exclaimed: 'Oh, my
poor poor brains! my poor brains!' Realizing the
hoax, he sprang up and chased Kingsbury off
the island with rocks swearing all the while
like sailor. Shelton afterwards enlisted in
Sam. Houston's war, aud made good soldier.
Coming back from Texas, he passed through
Hardinsville with his sun his shoulder. One
of his friends cried out "Haltn' He presented
Make readyp' He did SO. Take aimr' He
aimed. ''Firer' He wheeled, fred right at
the fellow, the bullet missed his head, went
through the door and dropped on the floor in
side. Shelton took to his heels.
In the civil war he made brave soldier, was
unHinching in his attention to duty, and died
like soldier at Missionary Ridge.

'THE duty of Congress-" says the New
York Sun, ''to renovate our militia system is
urgent" Why Congress? It is the consti-
tutional duty of the States to organize the
militia and to train them according to the
discipline prescribed by Congress. The au-
thority of Congress with regard to the
militia extends only to providin for their
organizing, arming and discipline and '.for
gouerning'' only ''such part of them as may
be employed in the service of the United
States.'' Congress, however, can we'll do
more than it has done towards providing for
the creation of a militia force, though but
few of the States have required all that it
has already provided.

The army bill agreed upon by the MAORI
ty of Gen. Bannings committee proposes a
complete reorganization of the army. It's
principal features are-to consolidate the
existing twenty five infantry regiments into
twelve or fourteen to consolidate the quar-
termaster and commanding departments:
and to remodel the staff and cut off its extra
pay and allowances. The rank and file will
be slightly increased but the total expense of
the establishment will be reduced it is thought
$5,O00,00O annually. That reform Of the
army is needed is shown by the facts that
we have staff officers sufficient for an army
of 100000 men-more than Germany has,
and that Of the forty-one Colonels of the
line not moro than four have been until
lately on duty with their regiments for years,
and only three have been in active command
of their regiments since the war.

NOT SO EAsT. GENTLEMEN.

wicked and irreparable blunder by falling to
exhibit at our Centennial, we should not run
to the extreme and indulge in wild enthus-
lasm relative to the coming Paris Exposition.
Minnesota wants to put her money where it
will do the most good. She wishes to secure
immigrants to till her fertile soil, to raise
stock, to engage in manufacturing and ner-
camille pursuits. She has no money to
squander upon gorgeous displays or festive
commissioners.
At our own exposition it would have been
eminently right and feasible to have made a
great display, because it was practical to
have erected a separate and exclusive Min
nesota building where the very concentra-
ton of the exhibit would have impressed
the visitor. Ii the display made by Kansas
at the Centennial had been located in the
main building, it would have attracted COM
paEafively little notice. Separate, as it was.
the exhibit became one of the most promi-
nent upon the grounds.
We Go not understand that any one pro-
poses to erect building for Minnesota at
we SO desired. Whatever we exhibit
must go in with the great mass,
in building so immense that
exhibits in detail dwarf almost to insignif-
canoe though aggregating magnificent dis
play. Holding it to be impossible and i'm
practicable for Minnesota to make an over
shadowing display at Paris, the question is
how much will it pay to do, and how should
it be done. Primarily it will not pay to
send commissioners on pleasure trip at the
expense of the State.
Some display might be made, possibly with
profit, but it should be moderate, practical,
and Inexpensive. AS we cannot hope to
overwhelm the visitors to Paris with our dis
play, it is unwise to squander money on an
exhibit that will attract but little notice.
There was never such an opportunity as is
now presented for securing immigrants tc
Minnesota from our own country. The
business depression has thrown thousands
upon thousands out of employment in the
East. They are obliged to seek homes else.
where, and they will flock to the State which
seems to afford the greatest inducement. NJ
State in the Union equals Minnesota in ad.
vantages, but what we need to do is to &C
quaint our own people with the facts. While
we welcome people from every land, there is
now an opportunity such as the next genera
ton may not again witness, to secure
population from the eastern States. With
the return of even very slight degree Of
prosperity it will be impossible to induce
them to leave very moderate certainty fol
new home. This is the golden opportuni-
ty for Minnesota, and it will be as great q
mistake as our Centennial blunder, if We
neglect to acquaint our own people with ou1
attractions.

THE SILVER ESSAY OF EDMUNDS
and HIS RESOLUTION.

AND HIS RESOLUTION.
Edmunds of Vermont has gotten to be, in
some way or other something of sixth oracle
among his republican confreres in the Sen
ate, who do not like him, and among the
elite and aristocracy of the party outside who
do not know him. He has all the solemn
pomposity Of the professional legislator, and
everything he says or does smells of the
grave yard. Hark from the tombs that dole
full sound peryades all his utterances except,
now and then, when he INDUCES that pc
culiar irony for which he is somewhat ia
NOUS.
One of the most solemn and saddest Jokes
ever perpetratea in the Senate is
the substitute offered by Edmunds
for the silver resolution of Stanley Mat
| thews. Its form is that Of the history of
silver followed by short resolution, that all
United States BONDS be. paid in gold coin.
| The long, and windy, and false preamble is
the creme de la crane, the richness Of the
whole affair. It is one Of Edmunds' dog
matte, self-assertive proclamations to his
/ henchmen.
| The first whereos Of Mr.. Edmunds is that
only eight millions Of silver have been coined
since the foundation of the government.
Well, now, what of that? If silver played SO
insignificant a part in the coin of the coun-
try, why did the conspiracy in Con
gress, on the 18th of February, 1873,
IN violation of the Constitution
and without the knowledge of the people OF
this country-as completely unknown to them
and to fourth Of the members of Con
gress, Dan Voorhees, said in his speech, as g
burglar in house at midnight to its sleep.
ing inmates destroy, at one blow, the value
of silver as q part of the coin of the land
Were not these traitors in the interest Of
German bondholders and European capital
lists where the decentralization of silver hac
increased the demand for gold ten-fold?
The second Whereas Of Edmunds is tina
at the time of the demonstration of silve7
it was obsolete as coin. VIII,
then disturb it? Why was i
then that bonds advanced
ten per cent, and the conspirators realized
A~AAASAAo VI
altogether too transparent nonsense for ser
ious thought.
The gist of the whole matter is the resolu
ton of Edmunds, to pay all the bonds il
gold, and that it would be violation O
public faith not to do SO. We have heard al
this until it is threadbare. It was violation
OF the contract of the people when Congress.
made the bonds, after their issue, payable il
coin. They should have been paid in tht
same money that bought them. But great
or wrong, a more diabolical outrage was
perpetrated when in in the interests of thu
goldltes, the bonds were made payable il
gold alone. These gold worshipping Con
gressmen may get their houses in order, The
verdict of the people will be rendered
weighed in the balances and found wanting.
