G4RFIELD 1fONUMENr SITE.

A final decision in regard to the site for
the Garfield monument in Lake View
cemetery, at Clevelaed, Ohio, has been
reached. The site chosen contains two
and half acres, and is on bluff over
looking Lake Erie. being the highest
ground along thelak shore, and is about
four miles from the center of the city, and
in a north easterly direction from it.
The bluff forms the southern portion of Lake
View cemetery, and the view from 1t Is COM
handing one, extending miles away. Lake
Erie stretches below it on the north. The mon
ument will be placed near the southern edge OF
the bluff, on the level which forms the summit
of the rise. The whole of the 274 acres will be
laid out With the highest skill in landscape gar
dening The plot is approached by drives
which wind in upon it from all sides. 1t is ap-
preached from the north through the main car
rage drive. which enters from an extension OF
Euclid avenue. Just south of the site of the
monument is concours, opening from Mayheld
street, which is the direct westerly road leading
from Euclid avenue 1t is expected that in
time line of street. cars will pass through May
field street, thus making direct communication
with the city, and that there will be an entrance
to the cemetery near the monument. The site
of the monument beautiful one and capable OF
being made exceedingly attractive. Tie monu-
ment will face toward Lake Erie. Plans fol-
this will be adopted from competitive drawings.
The site of the monument is such that it may
easily be approached by winding road, and yet
in sense it Will be isolated from the rest OF the
cemetery. 1t affords, a fine opportunity fol-
decorative planting on its slopes and along the
edge of the bluff. There is an ample level space
for the monument itself, SO that 1t can be seen
from considerable distance.

the hands of southern postmasters, and
were never returned to the department.
The accounts of Postmasters remained I'M
settled to this day. In order to prevent
the ante-bsllum postmasters from utilizing
the stamps, a law WAS passed prohibiting
their acceptance.
In regard to the new two cent
postage stamps which go into use Octo-
Der 1st, the following gossip is interest
ing.
The postoffice officials thought they had done
all in their power to make it pain to the people
that the new postage takes effect on October LIST,
but the queries still come in, even from places
as near as Rockville, Maryland, as to when and
how and why a letter can be sent for two cents.
One question frequently asked is why the new
two cent stamps are substituted for the old ones,
or in other words, why the old ones were not
made use OF for the purposes of the new act. In
answer to this, it is stated that the head of
George Washington has decorated nearly every
stamp used for general letter postage since the
foundation of the government, and that,
as the contract of the department with those
who furnish the stamps requires them to fur
nish whatever new designs are needed without
extra cost, it was thought best to have the new
stamp made with the head of Washington on it.
The only letter postage stamp that did not have
Washington's head on it was issued in 1869, and
it bore picture of railway train. This, how
ever, did not prove popular, and in the fellow
ing year congress directed a return to the old
style. The 3-cent stamps now n use will
be exchanged for Is as soon as the department
can get around to it. The process is slow, on
account of lack of an extra clerical force for
the purpose; ard no doubt many holders of g.
cent stamps will conclude to use them up IN
postage on third and fourth class matter.

The Boston Herald perpetrates the fol
lowing characteristic Bostonian sneer:


Visitors to Greystone still report Mr.. Tilden
disability another, perhaps. But that Mr..
Tilden is physically disabled, and in some di-
rectious helpless, ie fact which none of his
friends who see him often and who respect the
truth Will deny.
Newspapers and men sometimes have a
good deal to say upon matters of which
they know little or nothing. In 1880, the
Hon. CIarkson N. Potter advised against
Mr.. TiIden being candidate for'the Dom
ocratic national nomination, upon the
ground of his feebleness or disability. AT
a conference of Mr.. Tilden's friends Mr..
Potter said; ''Mr. Tilden will not live IN
til the convention meets" A little later
Judge Jere S. Black counseled against Mr..
Tilden's selection as candidate, for the
same reason, his extreme feebleness.
Both these gentlemen, then in the fullness
of health, are now in their graves, while
Mr.. Tilden still lives, in the enjoyment of
"good health" calm, serene and vigorous,
with physical capability equal to all de-
mends upon him, even to serving his coun-
try for the period of full Presidential
term. Doubt as to Mr.. Tilden's physical
resources is clearly an error of judgment
and sneers at his health show the vicious
desire of partisans to mislead and cheat
the public.

4 Representative Candidate for lieutenant
Governor.
Aitkin Age-Rep.
Charles A. Gilman, stand up and answer
few questions.
Is it true that you are to have $4,000
of bonds of the towns or cities who have
voted them as local aid to secure the build
ing of the st. Cloud, Mankato & Austin
railroad?
Is it true that You are also to have 5000
acres of swamp land from the grant made
to the same road?
If it is true that you are to have the $780,
600 of town or city bonds, and the 5000
acres of swamp lands, for heavens saks
tell US what value you have rendered, Or
are to render, to the company named for
them.
We're you not we'll aware that the 100000
of bonds and the 10000 acres of swamp
pals, would be an infamous, damnable
steal from the legitimate revenue of the
road?
We're you not aware that, if you took it.
that it was thrusting your hand into the
pockets OF the people along tne llne OF tne
road who never voted one cent for any
other purpose than to aid in the construc-
ton of the road, and flching from them
money you had no shadow of right to,
morally or legally?
ibid you not know, Charles, that if you
took one dollar of those bonds, or one acre
of that swamp land without paying for ii
that you were morally just as much of a
thief as ever any of the James or Younger
gang were when they sequestered bank
funds at the muzzle of the revolver?
Did you not know that if you entered
into that kind of an unholy bargain where
by you were to receive so valuable con-
sideration without conveying to the com
pany any species of property whatever in
consideration therefor, that people would
mistrust at once that it was extorted, in
part at least, for your influence as presi-
dent of the state senate, snd not as Charles
A. Gilman, an Individual?
Now Charles, answer these little conun-
drums and you may go to the head of the
class.

BIRRHAN,s HAR RECORD.

In the late war our gallant standard
bearer, Hon. A. Bierman, shouldered his
musket in the defense of his adopted coun-
try. He was faithful and gallant soldier
who served his country when his services
were needed in the bloody fields of war.
After the election it will be found that the
freeman of Minnesota declared on election
day that be should go up higher. Let every
democrat do his duty and Minnesota will
be redeemed from the rule of the Know
nothing party which has controlled its des-
tiny SO long. The Knownothing party
would deprive every foreign born citizen
of the right of suffrage if it could do SO;
while within the fold of the democratic
party all citizens, regardless of birth, meet
as political equals. Bierman represents
this party. Vote for him.

"WE WILL DANCE"

Indian Commissioner Price must have
bsen one of those singular and unfortu-
nate individuals who never had any youth
or young manhood or any good time at
all. He has issued an order forbiding the
continuance of any dances among the
Indian tribes. His stern command, has
carried no dismay to the red mans mind,
although he may not comprehend why his
people are forbidden to continue their ma
tive dancing pastime, and no more does
any body else. The why and wherefore is
a secret locked in the breast of the pro
found Commissioner. However, the Indi-
ans will not give up their dances, and their
reply to the singular ukase, is at cnce
proper and respectful; whatever the
Great Father at Washington thinks about
it," they say, eve will dance" Col. Mike
Sheridan in his most interesting series of
dispatches descriptive of the Presidents
recent extended Yellowstone expedition re-
lates the great enjoyment of the Ex-
ecutiye and his distinguished attendants in
witnessing a dance at an Indian village,
undertaken for their special entertainment.
Perhaps the Commissioner in this covert
way intended to convey to our most ex
cellent Chief Magistrate mild rebuke
for what seemed to him the undigniied
conduct of the Nations First Man, fearing
that he might some way or somehow be
tempted to take the hand of some beau
teous Indian maiden and join in the fasci-
mating mazes of this pastime of the Child
rem of the Forests. The good Commits
sioner in his mindfulness for the wards of
the Republic has also issued an order for
bidding polygamy among the tribes,
but with what success is not known. The
President and Congress have been unable
to put the slightest check to this practice
among the white race, although the Ed
munds law is in force and a sagacious and
patriotic commission have been indus
triously engaged in receiving from the

Faiicy rai!roaa, line nov being built

intention of the company to have the
whole line graded by the 1st of December,
and if possible TO lay twenty-five or thirty
miles of iron this fall, in order to com
plete the road and have ii in operation for
the grand rush of business which will be

The completion of this important line will
be of great advantage to our young city.
and dispel all doubts as to Ordway being
the largest and most substantial city in
central Dial ota. Our citizens have done
nobly and well, and their success in this
important enterprise will encourage them
to labor for the other enterprises which are
now within their reach, Having secured
| enc only connecting INK between the
southern and northern parts Of the
territory, united effort will be made to
push the Ordway, Bismarck & Northwest

and the probabilities are that at least
twenty five or thirty miles of this line will
be graded this fall. Ordway has many ad-
vshtages over all other cities in central
Dakota, and if our citizens all pull togeth-

BieTnadn's Vote.
Faribault Democrat.

The Republican press of Minnesota has
babbled 30 much about the Democratic
candidate for governor being Norwegian
and has lied so about his having been
nominated just to receive the Scandi-
navian vote, that the Norwegians are be-
ginning to be interested IN the matter, and
it isn't now impossible that he will receive
the support Of large number of that
class Of voters who have made Republican
success probable, but which has never
been recognized as entitled to anything.
There have been some Republi-
can Norwegians nominated, to
he sure, as in the case of Grinanger, who
was defeated for state treasurer, and Mel
son, who would have been defeated for
congress had there been Republicans
enough in the Fifth district of the Kindred
class to have accomplished it, Glass vot-
ing, like class legislation, is an evil which
should not be encouraged; but when there
are no important political questions in
volved, and when for the first time in the
history of the country a Norwegian has
been nominated for the highest Office in
the state, whose fitness for the
position is fully recognized, it is
not strange that his countrymen should re-
fuse to obey the mandates of the party
whom they have served as faith
fully as Jacob served his father-in-
law, and for much longer period and for
much less pay, and vote for him. The
justice of such movement was early
