these surface Indications all show perfectly
satisfactory condition of affairs In the coun-
| try, but these overlook the facts that this
prosperous condition Of affairs will not and
cannot last forever; that our treasury Is over
flowing mainly from the fact that we are col
lecting taxes imposed during the war, when,
as some one has expressed it, we were looking
under the very sofas and bedsteads OF the
country to find articles to tax, that the war
might be carried to q successful issue; that
these taxes are comparatively unfelt 80 long
as money is plentiful and all forms OF trade
and industry successful and prosperous, and
that plethoric treasury is the worst possible
incentive to fraud, peculation and cxtrava-
gance.
Perhaps l cannot better illustrate to soldiers
the low moral tone in our country than by
citing two cases connected with the military
service.
Some years ago the president of the United
States ordered two boards of officers to ex-
anime into the cases of two general officers,
both Of whom claimed to have been unJustly
dismissed from the service during the war.
The boards thoroughly examined the cases,
and both made unanimous reports, in the one
case against the claimant, in the other very
strongly in favor of the claimant.
1t is scarcely to be credited, and is certainly
not creditable, that the one who was reported
against was reiustated in the army, and the
one whose case was fa7orably reported upon is
still clamoring for justice, at the hands OF our
government: !.
With every wish for that union happiness
and prosperity for which you worked SO hard
and shed so much blood, bid you, gallant
veterans of the First Minnesota, an election
ate farewell.
At the conclusion of Gen. Gibbons speech,
the association unanimously requested q copy
for preservation. A volunteer purse OF SIP
was taken for the benefit OF the injured men.
Judge M. j. Severance, of Mankato, was
then introduced, and gave one OF his charac-
teristics speeches, full of strong, stirring
patriotism and interpolated with bursts of elo-
quence, which carried his audience by storm.
1t was throughout q mastery effort in the
matchless rhetoric so common to our able and
cultured supreme judge.
At the close of his speech the veterans and
invited guests marched to the banquet hall,
where O most bountiful collation. awaited
them, prepared by the ladies of St. James and
vicinity.
THE BANQUET.
The banquet was spread in the courthouse
hail, which was decorated with flowers
and eyergreens by the ladies.
AT the left as you enter the hall, q
tablet in red, white and blue, bore the
names of the different battles through
which the First Minnesota passed.
with the following caption, "Record of the
First Minnesota, )" followed by the three leaved
clover, second corps badge. The record is as

their backs upon the army and looked into
the ranks of civil life it is possible they might
have discovered signs of that decentralization
which has pervaded all ranks to an alarming
extent since the close OF the war. They might
have perceived there an army of oftice-scekers
far exceeding in numbers those which flocked
to the field in the defence OF our imperiled
flag, struggling more fiercely for the first
rank than ever shirks struggled for the rear
of line of battle in action. They would have
perceived in this struggle for place and spoils
that those were the most eager and persistent
who had the least claims; and these uufor-
tunately, were generally the most successful.
Old soldiers would have laughed TO scorn the
rule followed IN awarding the spells of office.
had such a rule been attempted in military
organization. When you learned what war
was, how much attention did you pay to that
character known in the early stage OF the war
who wandered about, paper in hand, seeking
from brigadier generals down to privates, for
recommendation to Office? Your service In
the ranks taught you the true value OF such
recommendations, and thereafter you learned
to look for other tests besides efirontry and
shame-faced trumpeting of ones own claims.
The man who showed by his deeda that he
was worthy of Office was usually the one
soldiers named for promotion. He who per-
sistently urged his own claims, with political
influence instead of deeds to back them, was
Justly looked upon with contempt.
Signs, too, Of this generalization could
have been discovered in the most shocking
nepotism openly practiced by those even in
the higher places, by the most outrageous
cases Of bribery and corruption; by the start
ling developments of the credit mobilier hnsi-
ness; by the almost daily reports of stipend
GUS frauds in Office, as shown by the opera
lions of the whisky and other sring, the
Bossisms and the star route cases. ALI these
are merely the opponents of the fearful state
of Generalization in the country. A
prosperity Of the country, the balance Of
trade in our favor, our immense
grain yield, the great development of our rail.
road system, the increased population and
rapid settlement of our wild lands, and our
overfowing treasury, is apt to think that

commenced we all cOnScientiOusly believed
we were in the right. You and !,
1 think, will have TO concede this
much to those members of the family who
delivered SO many and such telling blows
against us on the bloody field of battle where
the struggles will do honor to the bravery of
anu people. Both sides fought well, and men
do not so fight who are actuated only by a
mercenary motive. l can never forget how
in the midst of the bitterness of the war evil
dences would every now and then crop out
amongst our men of admiration FOR the gal
lantry and genius displayed by our opponents.
l can recall many an expression of admiration
for the heroism displayed by that famous old
"Stonewall Brigade" and personally, be-
lieye the man who used to command it was
almost as popular in our ranks as he was in
his own army.
Well do remember in the Virginia cam
paign of '62 hearing the remark: "They say
old sStouewalp is in our rear, boys"
"Bully for 'Stonewall,'' was the reply,
tive will havea fight tomorrow"
The expression of such sentiment was by
| No means an indication of any sympathy with
| the cause of our adversaries, nor lack of in
terest in our own. 1t was simply the express
sion of an Americans admiration for bravery
and zeal displayed in cause, no matter how
stoutly he might condemn the cause itself.
| If there is anything calculated to excite the
wonder of the world, it is the fact that after
the surrender of the rebel armies, not drop
OF blood was shed in this country. When we
reflect that for four long anxious years we
had been slaughtering each other by the
thousands all over the country, that
the bitterness of feeling incident to all civil
wars was excited to the highest degree, and
that suddenly, on fixed day, all this slaughter
ceased, and not drop of blood afterwards
shed, this fact shines out as the brightest
jewel in our crown of glory, How is it that
we were enabled to set such q grand example
to the whole civilized world?
The reason lies in the character of our in
stitutions. Our government if one of the
people, by the people, and for the people. The
people fought our civil quarrel to q success

heard from since. lie was traced to a
house on Pitman Greek. There he an
nounced his intention Of crossing the coun-

seen there, and as a man was heard scream
ing in a dense woods on the route, il is
supposed he has committed suicide, and
large parties are out securing the country
in search Of him.
WIN Catron, who calls himself "Wild
Bill, " and whose frequent escapades have
been a source Of constant terror and annoy
ance to all good citizens, was tried yester-
day for resc1ing prisoner from the custo-
dy Of an officer. Although the case was
made out beyond reasonable doubt and
shown To be an aggravated one, still, an in
telligent jury acquitted him in just FIVE
minutes. Public feeling is very high, and
the utmost Indignation 10 expressed at the
sheriff for summoning the entire jury from

Wright was instantly killed and never rose

covered. Webb was rescued the second
