THE voters of Pierce county will be
called upon to vote for State Senator
next fall under the old apportionment.
the new one having failed to become
a law, and under the rule of rotation
our neighboring county of Dunn will
be entitled to the candidate. We
would like to see either Hon. r. j.
Flint, or Z. II. Weber, named as the
candidate. They are reliable men,
competent, and either would make
an excellent senatorial record.

And the multitude make virtue OF the faith

THE situation at Albany is badly
mixed, so far as the Republicans are
concerned. The Democrats have
nominated John @. Jacobs to succeed
Conkling, and Francis Herman to sue
coed Platt. The first ballot was taken
on Tuesday; the Democratic members
voting for their own candidates, and
the Republican members, having made
no nominations, scattered their votes
among nearly score of persons for
each of the vacancies to be filled. The
administration members under the
lead of Robertson are fully as deter
mined as the machine stalwarts under
Conkling, and as neither side can
command a majority at present, a
deadlock for an indefinite period
must ensue, to be broken either by a
compromise or final adjournment, I'M
less the Democrats should go to

of ipjuring the Republican party in

Tue tide of immigration to the
United States is now greater than
ever before known, and as rule the
immigrants are young or middle-aged
people, possessing means to aid them
in securing homes and developing the
vast resources of the country. A
large percentage of this influx of new
inhabitants is being directed to the
South, and if received there in the
slme manner that immigrants are
welcomed in the Northwestern States,
the future prosperity of that sunny
cline will be assured. Industry and
capital universally encouraged in the
South, would in a few years work a
wonderful transformation there.

ST.. PAUL SCREEDS.

ST. PAUL SCREEDS.-

term with Il fine entertainment of the
promising class. Miss Carrie Hutch

Glass Prophecy.
On the 4th, Remenyi, the great
violinist, will give concert at the
Opera House assisted by the following
cast: Mile Renie Regnard, soprano;
Edmond De Celle, tenor; Henry Beale,
pianist.
Haverly's Mastodon MinstreIs occu-
Ply the Opera House boards on the I'd
and Sd. They stand at the head of
all minstrel troops, and will give an
exceptionally fine performance which
will undoubtedly be enjoyed by a
packed house.
Notwithstanding the rain and
muddy streets, st. Paul did herself
proud in the manner in which she
observed Decoration Day. At about
one o'clock groups of citizens began to
congregate around the court house
square. At P. NJ. the streets adjacent
to the latter were filled with citizens
The veterans formed into line headed
by the Great Union Band and marched
through the principal streets, and
upon their arrival at Rice street,
carriages and buses were provided
for riding to the different cemeteries,
where flags denoted the graves Of the
honored dead. TO the green turf
which lightly covers the ashes of the
heroic dead, there came willing hon.
age, the offering of many hands and
hearts. Flowers, with their beauty,
their mystery, tenderness and per-
fume, are the appropriate symbols of
that imperishable record, embalmed
with the memory of the soldier dead.
Beautiful, indeed, are the memorial
offerings of Decoration Day, but still
more fragrant is the memory of those
who perishing wrote their epitaphs in
deeds. Upon reaching the gates Of
Oakland cemetery the procession again
formed, the band playing the "Dead
March,, and proceeded to the speak
er's stand. Then followed an address
by II. A. Castle. The song ''America"
was rendered by quartette club, fol-
lowed by prayer by DR.. Dana. After
voluntary by the band, Gordon f..
Cole, the orator of the occasion, de-
livered his address. The quartette
club then sang a decoration song.
After this most beautiful and i'm
pressive CEREMONY took place, being
the decoration of the cross In memory
of soldiers buried in other places.
Tho nnral tributes Wnra MANY and
beautiful.

made the gossips surmise that there was
some understanding between Hayes and
Garfield upon the subject. and that Golf
could not have given up his district attor-
neyship without certainty OF being able
to hold over under the new administration.
The fact of his prominence IN de-
feating Grant at Chicago was brought
up in support of this theory.
General Golf. however, is a wealthy
man. He has all through this admins
tration been an intimate friend OF the
president. He has had absolute control OF
the federal patronage of his state. 1t is
possible that no could give up his present
position for the navy department without
a certainty or even prospect of holding
over after the 4th of March. He is Ger
tain to have a good foreign appointment i
