and if we are beaten we will take water.
Minnesota beats the world in ever ything.

There lived in Athens, 467 B. c., an emil
nent general and statesman, Aristldes, sur
named the just. he was banished from the
city through intrigue, headed by Themis-
tocles. His enemies were asked of what
they accused him? They replied they were
tired of hearing him called the just. This is
parallel case with that Of Prof. Phelps.
His enemies are tired Of hearing that he has
both national and foreign reputation as
one of the foremost educators of the time.
That the Winona school is the finest in the
Northwest, and that the State and Winona
are proud of it, and generously concede to
him much praise. Aristides was afterwards
recalled to defend his country, which he did
successfully. After serging in the highest
offices of the State he died poor man,

nesOta IN securing immigration.

The color line, we have been taught to
believe, has been abolished, yet We hear that
in Florida an Organization has been perfected,
composed only of mulattoes, who ostracise
not only whites but negroes. Under the
constitution of the organization mono but
mulattoes need apply for Office or for en-
ployment. Perhaps Mr.. Blaine may have
time to turn his attention to these organi-
cations before long, and to compare their
principles with those of the white league.

eral advertising and her centennial display,
has been securing an immense immigration;
far larger than Minnesota. Now that the
negroes from the South are overrunning the

where, and Minnesota is getting her full
share Kansas is no longer a rival of Min

to any such work or to have plans or papers
drawn in the Office.
It is desirable that the proper grade
heights should always DO given for sidewalks.
Perhaps it may be we'll to give height and
plan without charge to all persons who vol
unfairly build their own walks without
waiting for them to be ordered. But when
sidewalks are ordered by the city it is best to
refuse to give the heights to people wanting
to build themselves, for the object of the
parties is to escape their share of the expens-
es of advertising and laying out work.
respectfully ask your concurrence in
these positions. j. s. SEwAL1,

10 the City Council:
The Ohio street grading is about finished,
but there is an end 225 feet long, outside the
city, which prevents travel on it from reach
ing the Owatonna road.
respectfully suggest that you order this
bit of road to be graded and paid for out of
the fund for improving roads in Dakota
County. I am informed by the City Comp
troller that $500 are left to the credit of this
fund.
This grading will cost from 300 to $3.50
and the quickest way would be to let it by a
private contract. Very respectfully,
