Hon. }. Il. WAKEFIELD has been
invited to deliver an agricultural ad-

New Ulm, on sept. 18th, and at the
Cottonwood County Fair in Window

secured the services of so able, prac-

can rely upon receiving some good

vital Importance to farmers and Of
interest to everyone.

THAT was . neat bit Of satire, when
the Sunday Republic asked: "Will
the Mayor issue an order, prohibiting
egg picking on Easter?" Everybody
gives Mr., King credit for meaning
we'll in his Christmas and New Years
eve orders, but with the exception Of
few nervous old fogies the result
was to nobody's satisfaction. 1t was
well enough to quiet the guns and the
pistols, but there seemed to be gen.
eral impression that the slightest hi-
larity would bring about nights
lodging IN the station-house, with the
consequence that, on the festive holi-
days, We were all as solemn as lot of
owls caught in rain storm. Appar-
emily, the mayor himself saw that he
had committed blunder, for care was
taken before New Years Eve to an
nounce that bands and fantistiques
(if they behaved .themselves) would
be allowed, but we were most too
scared to take advantage Of the larger
liberty vouchsafed us. Though there
have been instances when ''egg-pick-
ing" on Easter was the source OF
breaches OF the peace, it need scarcely
be dreaded that the mayor will lnter-
fere with this sport. He is getting to
look with kinder eye upon the
amusements of youth, and il may be
even that by the next Fourth of July
the popping of the tireGracker may be
indulged in without serious risk.-PF0

York has a population of over 1,290,-

Of $4,000 has three schools for colored

THE New York Star says Captain
Ryan, of that city, has set the tranps
to cleaning the streets /; but the Cap
tain says that this action "will soon
rid the city of tramps." 1t is q good
idea in Captain Ryan, and, if there Is
a way in which it could be done
legally, we should recommend it to be
adopted in this city. His honor, the
Mayor, sends a number of vagrants
to New Castle to be boarded at the
expense of the county, who if set to
work to clean the streets, or in the
county to mend the roads, would, no
doubt, leave the city or neighborhood
and tramp to some place more accom-
modating. f

wHY WE HAVE NO NAvv.-That we
have no navy is clearly and fairly charg-
able to the fact that the Republican
eaders have had the control Of the gov
eminent for the past twenty years, and
for the last ten or fifteen years have
wasted the means provided by Congress
to build navy. We have q clear right
to make this charge, and We are sus-
tained IN 1t by the Philadelphia Press,
which will not be regarded as favoring
the Democratic side of the politics, we
are quite sure. That pronounced Re-
publican sheet refers to the want OF .
navy IS follows:
"ChIpa, six years ago, had no navy /;
neither did the United States. Since
then, the United States has spent some
thing over $100,DO0, 900 ON its naval es-
tablshment. 1t has not to-day q ship
OF o gun worth q rush in a naval fight.
There are unarmor0d ships which could
bore hole through our monitors, and
not an unarm0red vessel in our fleet
with speed enough to run away or
strength enough to hght. China has
spent In the Interval not Afth as much
as the United States, If that; but China
has to-day fourteen small gunboats, each
armed with Q heavy Krupp steel gun,
aud equal competent naval critics say
to fair fight ny twos aud threes With
any one big IRON slad, save the biggest.
China has also just added to her feet in
the Ttng-Zuen a hrst-class, heavy ron-
clad, and will shortly have another. It's
| feet is to-day stronger, better, more
| efficient than that under the American
| flag; but the United States win probably
70 on spending millions on naval es-
tabllshment which has no navy"
No, the Republican party will 60 on
spending the money sin ways that are
dark" to keep Its leaders In ofHics and
prevent the Democrats finding ont the
tricks that are hidden. ,u

civil Fights I'm a Railway SohooI.

Five little eolored children sat in a
row on special little bench in the
Washington Public School at Railway,
N. j., on Friday, and their little faces
wore an air OF resolution, ~ though
they had come TO stay. 1t was the
Arst tine that colored children had
been allowed in white school, and
their admission was the result of
determined contest between the Board
of Education and Rev. Mr.. Howell,
the new colored minister. Formerly
the constitutional amendments were
circumvented by providing a separate
school house for the colored folks and
then making a rule forbidding chill
dren to change from one school to an
other without a permit from the Board.
These permits were freely granted to
white children but the colored ones
were kept within their own fold until
Mr. Howell convinced The Board that
its action was Illegally. y. Star.

THE DEAD JoURNALIsT.--T fight
which took place in the sanctum Of
the Washington Republican Office be-
tween Mr.. Barton, the managing edi-
tor of that paper and two brothers
named Soteldo, has resulted in the
death of the elder of the brothers,
who, it is currently believed was shot
by his own brother, who fired at Bar
ton while he and the elder Seteldo
were struggling together. OF the de-
ceased, and the origin of the quarrel,
we have seen nothing beyond what we
find IN the paragraph below from the
New York 6t1n, which has moral In
It that might be useful to such as are
not mindful of their own habits
"a. M. Soteldo had the good for
tune to die at least in a quarrel
brought on by his defense of an in
suited woman. The dead man had
SO little of the better and desira-
BILE about him that it is we'll for him
that his last memory has the touch of
devotion TO woman's rights as a
woman, wherever her folly and
wickedness may have brought her.
The rest of his life was chiefly nota-
BILE for the steady and consistent
proof it gave that brilliant talents and
admirable opportunity are worthless
to a man whose moral sense is inns
potent. Unfortunately for the yonng
man whose life is cut off thus un-
timely, neither his descent, his charac-
ter, nor his training enabled him
dimly to comprehend what a moral
sense was. The man was the victim
of moral blindness, as some men are
color blind and while this saved him
from hypocrisy, it led him to Judge
all men by himself, and hopelessly
poisoned his estimate of others. 1t is
an unspeakable shame, in no sense
his personal fault, that this man,
SO constituted, was able, through the
gangs Of utterly corrupt men at times
enjoying influence il New York,
Washington and Albany, to have a
certain political weight in the past.
For some years, however, his influence
has about equalled his reputation.

TMR EUROPEAN MAILs.-The House
Committee has passed a resolution in
favor of compensating an American
line of ships for carrying the mails to
Europe and this is construed to mean
that the committee is favorable to

cause there never has been a time
when there was an American line of
