just across the river from Port Jervis,

on that day, moistening the gum with
his tongue. For sew veral days he SUI ffered
intense pain, and on Satu rday last q
piece became detached from tie end of
his tongue as large as q pea. Since then
he has been rapidly improving. The
physicians who attended him decide that
the gum on the envelope was poisoned,
and that in the contact with The to que,

these facts that they have been able to
organize this August corner. They have
used these facts to advance the price and
added the fictitious valuation besides. 1t
is therefore reasonably certain that the
price of wheat in August will exceed that
of any month this year, and Minnesota
farmers who can market any or all
their crop before the first day of Septem-
Der will make money. Wehat is to-day
thirty cents higher than the correspond
ing day last year. The clique may fore e
it ten or more cents higher during the
month, but the farmer who threshes his
crop and places it where it can be sold
during the height of the squeeze now in
progress will have no occasion to re-

IT is scarcely likely that Peoria, Ill.
beer will come into extensive use as a
national beverage. AEat of it exploded
the other day, killing two men and scald-
ing thirteen others. This might be called
the beer that brings the drinker to his
bier. Perhaps it would be good idea to
import few kegs of this Peoria beer
and scatter it around in the woods about
Eau Gale, Wis. If the Williams brothers
should chance to sight it the result would
be as fatal as their hunters could wish.

Up to Saturday night Chicago had col
lected and forwarded to New Ulm $6,37s.
This is generous, but still only very
small fraction of what Chicago can af-
ford to do under the circumstances.
Since the extension of the Winona s. St.
Peter road to New Ulm, Chicago has
been the source from which the mer-
chants have drawn their supplies. The
freight rates given by the railroad have
made that section sealed book to St.
Paul, and the trade which formerly came
to us, has been turned by the Chicago
railroads to that city. The cyclone dis
aster is one which peculiarly appeals to
Chicago, as that city has not only been
reaping the business Of the region,
but the very disaster makes large in
crease of trade the current year.

WHAT'S IN IN AIM?

The annual fest of the Northwestern
Schuetzenbund will begin at the St. Paul
Rifle club grounds to-day. A large num-
Der of strangers were in the city yester-
day, most of them connected in one way
or another with some of the organiza-
items that will participate in the festivi-
ties Of the week. They will be partizans
of one or the other of the clubs that will
contend for the prizes, but it may be
safely said that they will acquiesce fully
in the decisions of the judges appointed
The fest that opens SO auspiciously to-
day is memorable as signalling the first
gathering in the Northwest of a society
that numbers among it's membership
many enterprislng, thorough-going bust
ness men. Among those who will be
present. at the contests this week are men
who have won places in the business
world by their earnest endeavor, honest
industry and perseverance in business life.
Mostly of the German nationality, they are
nevertheless Americans in the fullest
significance of the term. The Germans
may be and are, to certain extent, clan
nish, but they fraternize with the Ameri
cans as thoroughly as any other people.
When you scratch Russian you find
Tartar, but when you scratch German
you are sure to find an American citizen
a man upon whom you can depend not
only to discharge the duties of citizen
ship, but to defend with his life the in
tegrity of the country of his adoption.
Aside from national considerations the
schuetzenfest will serve good purpose.
Emulation in the practice of rifle shoot
ing is commendable 1t has been too
much neglected in the past. A name is
good thing in time of peace and war.
An aim is the one thing desirable in war.
The guests of st. Paul on this occasion
may be assured that they are heartily
welcome The banners that are extended
across the streets and that decorate the
fronts of all our prominent buildings are
not an empty "Welcome'" They express
the full meaning of the citizens, who
extend to their guests a hearty and en-
thusiastic welcome.
"Welcome to St. Paul" is the express
ion of every citizen.
"Co me again" will be the parting salu-
tation to all who are compelled to part
company with our citizens.
The schuetzenfest has come, and it will
go, but the GLOBE hazards nothing by
predicting that none of the visitors from
abroad will depart with other than the
kindliest feelings for the people of the
Northwestern metropolis.

authorities, though not the brain which made
the argument. ks IS
To say that the Legislature had doubt Of
its power is to ignore the entire history OF
this bond question. The legislature simply
Judged it expedient to have the sanction of
the commission. The legislature deemed it
expedient to issue the bonds without reference
to the people, II it could have an opinion of
their own courts to satisfy the people. 1t was
necessary the minds Of the people, and of the
purchasers of the new bonds, should be salts
fed, and it was thought that the decision of
the supreme court, or Of five such district
judges as the governor could select, would
give that satisfaction. +
The act is in accord with the functions the
legislature ought to exercise. What right
have counsel to narrow down the intentions
Of the legislature? What right have they, or
this court even, to presume the Legislature
was cowardly?
The legislature did not need legal advice for
legislating Tor it would have called upon the
attorney generaI but to determine the expedi-
ency of disregarding or obeying the constitu-
tional amendment of 1850.
While he would simply say in this case the
Legislative power has not been delegated, he
would assert that about the only delegations
the courts now say is bad, are where an act
does not take effect of itself; and even the del
egation is sustained by good authority. Local
option laws are now considered good. Refer
ence to the people as to local matters, ETC., are
held good. The citations made on the other
side are not analogous or are not in point.
May the cause of population be ever thus
in want of precedents. Let us see if we can
find them.
The pivotal point Of the law is necessary to
determine the legislature upon the expediency
of issuing the bonds. Is such law invalid
upon principle ? No, for whatever was ne
cessary to ascertain the expediency of the act
the doing it was the exercise of legislative
wisdom. 6 Mimi, 467.
