TEE Winon. Republican, with the excep-
ton Of Mr.. Kin y's two Minneapolis papers,
Zone of the two b. ing printed in st. Paul, has
been the meanest and worst lying sheet in
the State in regard to the coming State fair.
It assumed this position because it is Bill
Window organ and Bill Window is pard
of Bill Kings. After having been SANDER
ing the State Agricultural society, and in 60
doing abusing some of the most honorable
business men in the State, for nearly year
past, the Winona postmaster cannot be de-
cent enough to give even his small circle OF
readers the benefit of Mr.. Adams official an.
nouncement of the coming State fair. Here
il al 1t can find room for:
It il officially announced that there is to be
State Fair at st. Paul this fall.
fAs the Republican has repeatedly reiter-
ated the falsehoods of the Minneapolis
morning and evening papers that there wa.
to be no State Fair this year, common hon.
esty would seem to dictate the insertion Of
Mr.. Adams brief official announcement.
But common honesty has fled to british
beasts 90 far as the Winona postmaster ID
concerned.

WHY NOT?

A Problem for the WOOde,. Secretary Of The
State Immigration Board.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In Yesterdays issue of the GLOBE, in the
telegraphic news, appeared notice of q
meeting of 200 operatives at Fall River, ct
which meeting Michael Connolly was ap-
pointed to visit the lands of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company and
to report as soon as possible as to their con-
dition, with view to emigration and settle
ment of lands by operatives.
Now why do these operatives select these
particular lands with view to settlement
thereon? Simply because that company has
spared no pains in advertising its lands,
sending its agents throughout the country
extolling the State in which the most of
their lands are located Kansas.
Also Kansas has not been asleep in this
matter. Now why should Minnesota and
its numerous and enterprising railroads be
behind Kansas and its roads? Are they
ashamed of our State? I hope not. If they are
they are not true Minnesotains. The writer
being alive to Minnesota's interest, hopes
you will give this place in your valuable
paper, and hopes it may come under the eye
of our immigration board and land agents
of the various railroads, and that they will
embrace the opportunity to negotiate with
these parties at Fall River and inform them
of the advantages of our State, where we
can raise anything from q potato to an ap-
ple-a State capable of, and which actually
does raise the greatest diversity of crops ex-
tant with health unsurpassed, and never
like Bleeding Kansas" visited by death
dealing and property destroying tornadoes.

Haverly's United Mastodon Minstrels.
This company, the greatest success of that
greatest Of all amusement managers, Jack
Haverly, is billed for the Opera House We'd
nesday end Thursday evenings of next
week. The Boston Globe, always conserve
tive, says of the show:
Boston has seen many good minstrel and va
riety performances, but never one better than
Haverly's which appeared last night. There
have been many large trOupes of such artists
of this class on the road, but II remained for
Haverly to eclipse them all. He had found by
experience that the public would patronize
literally first-class entertainment, and with
characteristic enterprise he resolved to give
them something which had never been eclipsed
either in magnitude or magnifcence. THAI the
public have justified his confidence in them,
and will remunerate him literally, was plainly
shown by glance at the interior of the Howard
last night. Every seat in the house wss sold,
and the lobby and vacant spaces near the seats
were crowded With masses of struggling hui
manity, each one anxious to see all that was to
be seen and hear all that was to be heard. In
the gallery tier above tier of seats were literally
crammed, and every type of street boys and
wOrklngmen was represented. It was sight
once seen never to be forgotten, and many a
poor devil in the audience sighed as he thought
how much good that nights receipts would do
him. When the curtain rose the scene was re-
markable. Upon the floor stood eighteen men,
eight of them end men, il fanta tito costume,
while above them ranged in three tiers were
the orchestra and chorus. At the top and in
the centre was the famous big bass drum which
took the prize at the Centennial, and above
th't hung large portrait in colors of Manager
Haverly himself. The bill, like the company,
was great both in quality and quantity, and
was given with taste which earned rounds of
hearty applause for each item.

The report that Secretary of War Ramsey
had bought set of archery aud was practic-
ing the bloody arts of war on the cats in his
back yard is officially denied. The denial
can be set down as order Number One from
the new secretary. Mr.. Ramsey declares
that while there remains drop of Pennsyl-
wanna Quaker blood in his veins he will have
the war department turn it's entire attention
to agriculture, base ball, or any other of the
arts and sciences. He even proposes to pro-
hibit the raising of blood red beets in the
government flower gardens. With Ramsey
in the war department., and Thompson, ex-
captain on the Wabash, in the navy, there
will be profound peace. Anybody trife
belligerent would thrash US into peace in
twenty-four hours.
