The ride from Morris to Ortonville is one
of the best of prairie rides. There are two
great ridges or ranges, with six and ten
miles of valley between, which gives a
view of an expanse of green, beautiful to
all lovers of prairie scenery.
There are also three good lakes with
groves about them-Artichoke, Long Lake
and Soldiers Camp. Few know what a
picturesque lake Long Lake is, some ten
in length, with every kind of variation of
shore known in geography, many islands,
groves on its shores, sandy beach and
beautiful banks in many places. For vari-
ETY. of shore there is no lake its equal in
this part of Minnesota.
The country becomes more rolling as
you approach Big Stone lake.

Our foreign dispatches point to speck
of war that begins to loom up upon the
horizon, caused by some trouble growing
cut of the. Berlin Conference. War with
its concomitants, ruin. devastation, and
homes made desolate, is always to be de-
plored; yet, it is truly an i'll wind that
blows nobody good, and if those foreign
despotisms seeking merely ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of power and territorial extension, will per-
sist in drawing millions of men away from
industrial and agricultural pursuits, there
must be deficiency in the production of
cereals in those countries. With the ma
tions of Europe engaged in a bloody con-
fiict, there will be great demand for the

Currie, the drunken ruffian who muir
dered the actor Ben. Porter, at Marshall,
Texas, u year or so ago, was acquitted by
twelve of his peers, few days ago at that
place. The readers of the Tribune will
remember the circumstances connected
with this tragedy, which at the time, sent
a thrill of horror through the entire coun-
try. Porter, who was fine actor, was
sitting in lunch room with q brother
actor and an actress. when Currie entered
and wantonly insulted the lady, and then
brutality murdered Porter because he chiv-
alrously interposed in the lady's behalf.
There was no room for doubt as to the
truth of these facts in the minds of the
jury, but they acquitted him because he
had been on drunken spree for week,
and they thought his mind might have
been somewhat derangcd thereby. Such
mockcry of justice is disgrace to our
civilization, and the people of Texas, be
cause of this verdict, should bow their
heads in shame and humiliation. The
killing of Porter was, rs everybody knows,
Il most cold blooded and unjustifiable muir
der, and this verdict should and will cost
the state of Texas thousands of dollars,
for capital and emigration will shun a
state where popular sentiment fails to pro-
tect strangers, and such diabolical out
RACES go unpublished.

Many OF the buncombe speeches made

of the following: 1.-THE battle this year is

isthmus, and the little spartan band must
meet all the Greeks whom Xerxcs can
bring against them, and then the stars in
their courses win fight for u.s." General
Garfield. who is q scholar, must have
known that XerXes did not command the
Greeks at Thermopylae, and moreover
as u biblical student, should have known
that ''the stars in their course fought
against Sisera, not against Xerxes at Their
mopylae. So too, Mr.. Dougerty of Pa,
in presenting General Hancocks name to
