WE'LL DONE.

The State Agricultural Society did most
excellently in choosing 2. H. Kelly for Presi-
dent for the ensuing year. Mr.. Geo. r.
Finch having peremptorily declined a re.
election, it had been supposed by soma that
less vigorous policy than last year was likely
to be adopted. The selection of Mr.. Kelly
IS formal notice that the flag is to be raised
still higher instead of lowered. Mr.. Kelly's
executive ability admirably adapts him for
the position, and from the moment the vote
was cast in his favor, from that moment the
success of the Minnesota State Fair for 1879
became assured.
1t was of course fixed fact that Mr.. Jud-
son would be chosen secretary. His long
experience in that position and his faithful
and efficient services were recognized by
unanimous vote. The selection of Orrin
Cullen as treasurer, was a just recognition
of services performed last year, Mr.. Gull
len having relieved Col. Culver of the chief
portion of the duties in that Office in 1878.
With such assistants as Mr.. Kelly will
have about him in the other officers of the
society, he will be able to organize an exhi-
bition which will take the lead for the COM
ing year. Experience has proven
the first week in September
to be we'll adapted, from q
weather standpoint, for the fair, and the Sc
lection of that time was wise one. The
State fair should seek no alliance with out
side catchpenny affairs, but let them die the
death which sooner or later befalls all dis
reputable enterprises.

THE FRENCH 14RMY AND BONdPART-

THE FRENCH ARMY AND BONAPiRT-
ISM.
The revolution that has lust been accom-
plished peacefully in France, is probably the
severest blow to the Bonapartist cause that
it has received since the surrender OF Sedan,
Ever since the accession Of Marshal Mac
Mahon to the Presidency, he has shown a
marked partially for the officers of the army
who served with him under the Bonaparte
dynasty. Many of them were superanuated,
and had outlived their usefulness as military
men, and yet he refused to retire them They
we're actively engaged in promoting imperial
ism in the army, and have never as yet been
in sympathy with the republic. The army
has, in fact, been the stronghold of Bona
partisan for nearly three quarters of a centu-
ry. Without it's support the coup d. etat of
the first Napoleon would have been impossi-
BILE, and without it's support the last emperor
of that dynasty would never have been more
than President even if he had attained to
that eminence. The army may be said to be
tIe creation and the creature Of the empire,
and it is natural, therefore, that it should
cling to its allegiance.
IT has been no secret that for the past five
1aars the emissaries of the ex-empress
have been putting forth every effort to pre-
mare the army for revolution which should
result in placing the prince imperial upon

M.1LFEISANCE IN OFFICE.

Senator Doran was not altogether right in
relieving Gov Pil!sbury from his inaction in
regard to the Insane Asylum by simply
charging him with cowardice. That is too
lenient 8 judgment. The Ssnate directed
the Investigating committee to report to the
Governor during the recess, in order that
action might be taken. AS the sworn execu-
tive of the State, it W as his duty to act when
the report was made. The report proved
gross cruelty and absolute, brutal
murder in the asylum. It proved
downright theft on the part Of the manage
ment. The report showed such facts as
should have caused the removal Of every
trustee, physician and attendant iu the insti-
tuition. 1t was the duty Of the Governor to
have made clean sweep of al, jbut instead of
that the brutal murderer is not only retained
in his position, but promoted. The Rev.
rascal Kerr IS promoted to the absolute
charge CT the branch asylum at Rochester,
and SO on. Instead of applying q remedy it
proved an advantage to the murderers and
rascals to be exposed.
For this protection they are indebted to
the Governor, the sworn executive officer of
the State. C0aoardSce, is too mild a term
for such dereliction of duty. It is simply,
open and defiant malfeasance in Office for
the Governor to have refused to remove the
convicted Offenders.

THE LEGISLdTITE 1F4NYyAE

The Legislative Manual for 1879 is out, and
IN many respects is decided improvement
over any predecessor. 1t has been considerably
enlarged in size, and the Typography is much
better. Some new features have been added
IN the matter, ALSO For instance, the whole of
"Jefferson's manual is inserted, filing more
than fifty pages. Now, Jeffersons manual is
useful document in parliamentary law, but
for the sort Of routine business transacted in
Minnesota Legislature, has little value or infu-
ence while to the average member, it is abso-
lutely waste of space. Bacon's Organum or
Newton's Principal would be just as useful,
Some three or four leading members in each
oody might have, and use to profit, Jefferson's
manual, but they can always be bought in
book stores for half dollar. This space in
our manual cou]d be much better devoted to
other matter, and if it is necessary to have
them, the State could buy few copies cheaper
than it can print them every year.
The feature of engravings of our State insti-
buttons, with historical and descriptive sketch
es OF the same, is also new. Some Of the en-
cravings, however, are execrable, and the
Sketches read as though they were hastily pre-
pared. Both these defects should be remedied
in future editions. Some of the statistics
would be useful but for the typographical err
rors. Our Judge Brill, for instance, is printed
as s'Judge Bull" The arrangement of the
subjects and articles are very defective It
bears the appearance of having thrown the
copy promiscuously in basket, whence it was
drawn at random. The haste with which the
work was evidently compiled may be some ex-
cuse for these imperfections, and it should in
future be commenced in sea on to have the vol
ume entirely completed within ten days after
the commencement of each session. The pres
ent law requires the Secretary Of State to pre-
pare it, so that the work falls upon the subor-
dlnates Of his department, who have little time,
and perhaps no experienced in book making. He
should secure some ono skilled in compiling
and editing books to prepare future editions,
and have the work begun in season. If SO
done, the Legislative Manual can be made a
useful book.

THE TRAMP QUESTION.

The legislatures of the States of Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and Michigan are now consider
ing bills for the abatement of the tramp
nuisance, and the legislature of Minnesota
has two or three schemes for the same pur-
pose now before it. Judging, however, from
the reception these measures received when
reported back from the committees, the
passage OF any restraining law is not proba-
bio, at least during the present session. Some
members appear to think that any such leg
islat1on is unwise for the reason that it NAV
result in the commission of a wrong upon
some innocent but poor man. In the House
the law proposed was copied from the New
Hampshire statute, but when considered in
committee of the whole it was so emasculat-
ed that the gentleman having charge Of it
was glad to withdraw it for amendment and
revision. In the other three States men
toned there is an excellent prospect that
laws will be enacted 50 rigorous in their pro-
visions as to leave little doubt but the
tramps will avoid entering their limits.
Ii this should be the case, and Minnesota
fails to enact q law for the protection of our
citizens against the depredations of these
vermin, we will be placed in bad dilemma.
Driven out of all the surrounding States,
tue tramps will find on asylum in Minnesota.
They will flock here by hundreds and by
thousands, and it is questionable if our
whole police force will be able to restrain
them from outrage and plumber. This would
be calamity worse than the grasshopper
plague, producing great distress and
loss We insist, therefore, that it
Is the duty Of the legislature
to take some action on the subject The
tramps are deserving of no consideration
Whatever On grounds of humanity or other
wise. They are for the most part lazy,
vicious and often criminal. II is as much
the duty of the legislature to protect
citizens against these Migrants as it is to
project them against open malefactors. In
fact, majority of the crimes committed
against life and property all over the country
during the past year were perpetrated BIZ
this class of characters.
We trust that before the legislature finally
dlsposes of the bills now before it on this
subject, it will consider seriously whether it
can afford to make Minnesota All asylum for
all the tramps of the country. The bills
now under consideration may not be perfect,
but it is easy enough to frame one that will
stand the test and prove effectual in suppress
ing the nuisance. The people have right
to demand protection, and must have it.
Ihe necessity will be more imperative if our
neighboring States take action in the same
direction, for it will drive the tramps from
those localities to our cities and rural dis
trlcts to infest and impoverish our people.

Sunday School Concreas.

A grand Sunday school Congress of the M. T..
church of the State is to be held in the Jack
son street H. %. church, st. Paul, commencing
Monday, Feb. "a, and continuing over Tuesday
and Wednesday, the 25th and 26th. Rev. DR..
>. d. Vincent, undoubtedly the most earnest
and successful Sabbath school worker in the
country, will be present and conduct the con-
gress Delegates to the number Of nearly two
hundred will be present from different por-
tions of the State, the entertainment of whom
will be handsomely provided by our citizens.
Dr. Vincent will reach st. Paul probably on
Saturday, the I'D INST, and Sunday evening,
the 23d, he will preach at one of the churches
to be designated on the evenings of each day of
the congress. He will deliver one of his eel
ebrated lectures, That Boy" and the two
companion lectures to which an admission of
50 cents will be charged for the course, or Is
cents single admission.

the throne. These agents have had the cor

the throne. These agents have had the cor
dial encouragement of the majority of the
general officers, especially of those who
owed their advancement to the late emperor.
The chambers, at the instigation Of Gam
beta and few other of the Republican
leaders, determined upon the retirement of
a few of the more active of the number. 1t
was Marshal MacMahon's refusal to approve
this action that precipitated the crisis
and led to his resignation of tho office of
President. The reorganization of the army
will therefore proceed as it has begun, and
been active in promoting imperialism will
be required to step down and out.
A question will arise, however, that may
yet put different phase upon matters.
Will not those men be aroused to more open
hostility to the republic because of their re-
tirement, and if SO will not their influence
be more potent2 Hitherto they have been
deferred, by reason of their official positions,
from openly advocating the cause of the en-
pire, but the probabilities are that having
all restraint removed, they will become open
and earnest partisans of that cause, and
will thus be able to produce more mischief
than they would otherwise have been capa-
bic of. Each no doubt has his warm adj
mirers, who will espouse his cause and fol-
low his lead. Instead, therefore, of being
secret conspirators, they will become avowed
enemies of the republic. This is danger
that we fear has not been sufficiently consid-
cred by the government. 1t is, nevertheless,
an important matter, for upon its outcome
may depend the success or failure of the re-
public. The army can always be relied
upon to assist kings and emperors. It is
monarchial in organization and by instinct,
and not until it has been thoroughly re-
modelled and the present generation OF mill
'itary men has passed away can dependence
be placed upon it to maintain the republic
in the event Of conflict. We can only
hope that the policy just inaugurated will be
productive of the results expected of it.
