A Public CALAMITY,

In the death of Leonard B. Hodges the
city and the state suffer loss which it
will be difficult to replace. He was not an
ostentatious or conspicuous man in
public affairs, but he was man who has
made the world vastly better for his hav-
ing been in it. Of his religious tenets
we know nothing but that he was certainly
a most practical Christian. He was the
soul of honor in all business transactions
and when like thousands he met with re-
verses owing to the failure of crops and
his efforts to help others, he declined all
proffcred compromises and manfully pro-
ceeded to settle with every creditor, prin-
cipal and interest. No man lives who can
say he was ever wronged farthing by
Mr.. Hodges. On the contrary there are
thousands who cherish tender recollec-
tons of his open hearted kindness and
generosity. The knowledge that hui
man being was in distress was sufficient
appeal to reach Mr.. Hodges heart. His
life was practically given to the public,
and the pioneers, especially of Minnesota
and Dakota, have every reason to bless
his memory. He engaged in the work of
tree planting. not as source of profit but
as a public duty and the work Of the last
years of his life has forever demonstrated
the practicability of forest culture. Mod
est and reticing in his disposition, the
world at large knew comparatively little
of the great good Of his life work, but the
multitude with whom he came in personal
contact will carry with them through
life, love, esteem and gratitude for Leon
ard B. Hodges. We stand by his open
grave lamenting that his life mission has
ended, but thankful that so good and
noble man was permitted by precept
and example to demenstrate:-
1--WE can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind US
Footprints on the sands of time"

large reductions, and for them have not
failed to raise my voice. l have often
cited sugar; for it has appeared to me to
be little less than crime to raise $780,
600, 900 annually upon this article of prime
necessity. The advocates of this bill
only claim a reduction under it of $11,-
100000 fear it will prove to be far less.
The reductions upon iron and steel are in
too many instances much below the de-
mand. While some reduction might have
been made in the duty upon tobacco, it is
far from the proper thing to reduce $685.
OO0, 900 upon this article and but $11 900, :
600 upon sugar. Larger reductions could
have been made upon articles for clothing
and food. The luxuries should have been
placed at higher rates and the necessities
at lower rates. Lumber should have been
placed upon the free-list or undergone a
large reduction in the duty. The great
agricultural interests of the country have
not been carefully considered or justly
preserved. Nails and spikes, glass;
crockery, and, indeed, all the articles
which the farmers of the land daily use
should bear the least possible rate of
duty.
No time is allowed me to say more. we
are now to vote upon a bill not open to
amendment. We must take it or nothing.
l have voted against every bill to reduce
internal taxation, but have on more than
one occasion signitied my willingness to
vote for some such reduction if at the
same time the tariff duties could be re-
duced. Both classes of reduction are in
the bill before us, though not in proper
proportions. I am forced to the conclu-
sion that it is my duty to vote for the bill,
though not without protesting against it's
character and the manner of its con-
ctr11rtiOn

THE interstate oratorlcal contest which
is to occur at Grand Opera Minneapolis,
on this Wednesday evening, can hardly
fail of being most interesting and enter
tanning affair. Six States, viz: Ohio,
Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana and
Wisconsin, will be represented, each by
the orator who has born off the honors
from similar contest in the colleges of
his own State. Minnesota, for instance,
will be represented by Mr.. Frank N.
Stacy, who stood first at the head of his
own college, and who competed and took
the honors from the best representatives
of Carleton and Hamline in his own State,
and will now be pitted against the young
men who have triumphed similarly in five
other States. The Pioneer Press says the
judges appointed-one from each of the
States sending centestant-are gentle
men thoroughly qualified for their delicate
and difficult task, and the tournament
will in all respects be novel and exceed
insly enjoyable event. The charge made
for admission is simply to cover the con-
siderable expenses incident to the contest.

THERE is some talk in the postoffice de-
partment about new stamp to be of the
value Of cents. 1t is not proposed to
drop the 6-cent stamp, which will still be
convenient for parcels and third-class
matter. Nothing will be done about the
matter at present, and the manufacture of
the new stamp will depend upon the
public demand. One reason urged for
making the new stamp is that dropping
the Scent stamp and putting the face of
Washington on the 2-cent stamp throws
Andrew Jackson out of a job, and may
produce political commissions. A Accent
