SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

Arranging to Become Owners of the Soil.
meeting of the Soldiers and Sailors Home
stead association was held last evening at the
old court house. Several names were added to
the list of members.
The question of locating was then brought
I'M. when Mr.. Anderson said that eight or ten
men had appointed a man to go down by
Luverne and examine lands.
Mr.. Wood said: Do I understand that you
have done that outside of the association?
Mr.. Anderson-We propose to do as Mr.. Wells
has done.
Mr.. Wood spoke against any such action.
Everything should be done through the execu-
tive committee, otherwise the association would
go to pieces.
Mr.. Anderson said he was one of the commit
tee He did not authorize Mr.. Wells to go
North, and he only proposed to do the same as
Mr.. Wells did.
Can't. Starkey thought Mr.. Anderson was
hard on Mr. Wells. He reminded the gentle
man that the meeting asked Mr.. Wells to make
The trip. and the association waited ten days
for his report. He thought members OF the as
ISOLATION, especially members of the executive
committee, should cOnfine themselves to the
action of the executive officers.
Mr.. Anderson said all they wanted was to
oct information from other parts of the State,
snd some nine or ten members had agreed to
send man and pay his expenses to get infor-
nation of land about Luverne.
Capt. Wood could see no objection to that,
but he hoped they would come to some conclu-
SION tonight and appoint man to locate
claims on the Red River valley-either Mr..
Wells or some one else.
Major Becht spoke against the association
breaking into small parties; it would be better
to decide to go all together, for mutual benefits
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-05-05

would accrue from such policy; the expense
of locating would be less. One advantage of
the Red River valley would be that wheat
would fetch as much in st. Paul, for the
shipping would be as cheap to Duluth as from
St. Paul to Duluth.
Mr. Connolly moved that MI. Wells and Mr.
Anderson be instructed to look up lands in the
two districts, Luverne and Red River Valley.
Capt. Wood thought it advisable to ask Mr..
Wells how much it would cost to locate claims.
1t was agreed that the location decided upon
should be mapped out and numbered and each
man to draw lots for his quarter section.
Mr.. Wells said that he would locate claims at
So each including the land Office fees.
Mr.. Connolly moved that the executive COM
mittee be instructed to contract with Mr.. Wells
to settle in the Red River Valley.
Capt. Wood drew up a power of attorney
which was signed by some 18 ex-soldiers au-
thorizing Mr.. Wells to file on lands for them.
The meeting then adjourned till next Saturday

The Lake Como Resort.

There is no place within the same distance
which holds out SO many natural attractions to
our citizens as lake Como. The roads leading
to this delightful resort have been put into
repair, and form at the present time a delight
full drive, and at the lake everything is clothed
in the first fresh lovelines of spring. The trees
are in full leaf flowers are blossoming by the
wayside, and the lake itself is hecked with the
numberless pleasure boats provided by Col.
Knauff. for the accommodation of his guests.
The hotel is now ready for guests, the two
LADIES' parlors having been finished last week
and luxuriously furnished. Mr.. Matheis hav-
ing supplied the carpeting for one and Mr..
Anderson for the other. The building for the
new orchestrion is completed. The celebrated
shelman sisters will be there to-day, beside the
other attractions furnished by the indefatiga-

Improving the Life saving Service.

Improving the Life Saving Service.
A bill has been favorably reported by the
Senate Committee on Naval Affairs to re-
organize and increase the efficiency Of the
Life Saving Service. The bill, which
originated with Senator Sargent, provides
for the transfer Of the service from the
Treasury to the Naval Department, to
which it certainly mostproperly belongs. A
naval officer not below the rank Of COM
mander nor above that of captain is to be
superintendent Of the service and to have
charge of it under the immediate direction
of the Secretary of the Navy an inspector
for each district is to be selected from
grades below commanders, and in recruit
ing crews preference is to be given to
honorably discharged seamen or petty
officers who have served three years in the
navy. Officers are to receive such pay as
they would be entitled to in active service
and the crews the pay of regular sea-
men. It is required that oil sta
tions shall be kept manned during
the entire year, except where the
Secretary of the Navy may deem it unneces-
sary, in which case the officers and crews
while unemployed are to receive half pay.
The Secretary is to be empowered to in
crease the number of stations in accordance
with his judgment as to the necessity. ST.
multaneously with the favorable report on
this bill comes q communication to the Sem
ate from the Secretary of the Treasury
recommending IN increase in the number
of life saving stations, SO as to bring them
within IN average distance Of four or five
miles from each other, an addition to the
pay of the keepers, an increase of each crew
from six to eight persons and the manning
and opening of the stations from September
to May of each year, or for longer Pc
riod if deemed expedient.
It is possible that the recommendations of
the Secretary OF the Treasury may be in
tended to meet and head off the bill re-
ported by the Committee on Naval Affairs.
But it seems so entirely proper and desira-
BILE to place the Life Saving Service under
the control Of the Naval Department that it
is to be hoped they will not have that
effect. Under the Treasury Department the
service has not been what it should be, and
the discipline and experience of naval off,
GERS will be valuable in increasing its
efficiency. The bill now before the Senate
should extend to the officers and surimen
of the service who may lose their lives in
The New York herald., 1878-02-22
washimxton,s Birthday.

Only one man in our history is honored
with the appearance of his name in the cal
endar of national and patriotic festivals !;
and it is perhaps great deal for people
30 much in the tideway Of extreme demo-
cratic ideas to pay this homage to even one
man. There are some indications, how
ever, that the demo cratic spirit will eventu-
ally not spare this name. Although WASH
ington's birthday is yet celebrated with
Characteristic fQrmalities there is percep-
>tible change in the respect with which it is
regarded. 1t is now very much like other
mere holidays that give the occasion for
raree shows and for any relation that it
bears in popular esteem to the leader
of the Revolutionary armies it might
almost as we'll be the birthday OF
Christopher Columbus. How differently
and with what an elevated and ardent
personal admiration for Washington the
fathers and grandfnthers of the present
generation honored the day the collections
of American oratory will bear witness.
Apparently this is the protest against the
supremacy of great names that is an instinc-
tive democratic tendency. Systems of
aristocracy begin in hero worship, and the
proceeding is that the honor bestowed on a
great name commonly takes, some substan-
tial form, and instead of having gallery Of
abstract patriots and heroes people are
apt to find themselves by and by in the
possession and under the hand of o concrete
company of dukes and such like dignitaries.
There is no apparent danger Of that sort with
us certainly, yet the revolt against supe-
riority that is commonly consequence Of
such danger is certainly active in the
national mind. But the tendency of that
protest to wear away the impression Of this
name seems to us q sign Of very evil augury.
