MINNESOTA AND THE PRESIDENCY.

There is no doubt that Hon. Jas. G..
Blaine is the first choice of Minnesota Re-
publicans for President The Mime
apolis Tribune has polled the prominent
Republicans Of the state recently, and
the canvass of the vote resulted as fol-
lows: Blaine 673, Edmunds 1919, Arthur
1872, Lincoln 80, Logan AZ, Scattering 81.
The contest in the Chicago convention
will undoubtedly be between Blaine and
Arthur. 1t will be all right which ever
one wins. Mr.. Arthur has certainly made
a very wise and judicious executive, and
is entitled to great credit. Whether he is
the one above all others to command the
largest vote at the polls is another ques-
ton. Some say he is as strong as Blaine,
while others think Blaine can the easier be
elected. Our candidate is the man who
can win,

The county has no Indebtedness, except
$9,55S in non-bearing interest county
orders issued to Snow & Alsip, as balance
due them on courthouse contract Of this
amount, $4,000 will be paid in June, and
the balance, SIS, $685. in October of the pres
ent year.
Considering the heavy expenditures for
courthouse, the financial showing of last
Year is most creditable. The new county
building, the finest one in the state, is fin
ished, and furnished, and practically paid
for; not a bond issued, nor cent of interest
having been paid. The county finances
have been most wisely managed, and no
man can truthfully charge any one of the
county officials with any corruption in
connection with the court house con-
tract. It has been an honest jeb-and
we believe the people generally are more
than satisfied.

THE days of April 10 to the Is will long
live in the history of our country; yet,
when these memorable days roll around
they pass by forgotten by those who
took no active part in the great war for
the Union. From the 18th to the 10Th of
April, 1851, Fort Sumpter was lombard
ed. Then the cry of havoc, let slip the
dogs of war;" was heard all over the land.
On April 18th, 1851, Private Hough, of
Battery E, list NJ. L. Artillery, was killed
by the premature explosion of a gun at
Fort Sumpter Just twenty-three years
ago the 10Th, President Lincoln called for
5000 men, and the North arose in their
might to save the national capital. Lin
coin was assassinated at Ford's theater
on the evening of April Nth, 1885, and
died at 7:2O on the morning of the 18th ;

An Important Daciaion.

The Albert Lea Enterprise says BY
the following decision it appears that the
lands entered by SO many Of our citizens
through Messrs. Kellar & Greene, last
summer, are in the market, and not the

that the same can be acquired by com
pliance with laws relating thereto. The

a. 1866, and it is claimed that entries were
made upon this land prior to that date
which, according to the decision given
below, would exempt them from becom
ing the property of the railway company

The Crimson Sunsets Explained.

The reasons given by writer in the
April Atlantic for supposing that the
crimson sunsets observed last fall result
ed from the Javanese volcanic convul-
sions are that they were first observed at
Rodriguez, Mauretuez and Seychelles,
points about three thousand five hundred
miles west, within thirty-six hours after
the event, and later at other points east
and west at distances and localities which
appear to harmonic with the time re-
quired for the volcanic dust to travel.
Further, that in 1888, after an unusual
eruption of Skapta Jokul, it is recorded
that the English skies put on fiery as
pect similar to that which set the werld
to wondering last autumn.
To the limitations that the atmospheric
matter rejecting the afterglows must
have been at a great height, above the
cloud region-as shown by the lateness
and long continuance of the liz ht-and
that it must have taken an enormous
power to force such matter to such
height, it is answered that as volcanic
masses of considerable size have been
known to fall four or five miles away
from the crater that emitted them, there
is little difficulty in supposing that there
was force enough in the Javanese cenvul-
sion to account for the necessary distance
claimed.
1t is further held that such vast clouds
of fine, misty matter lifted so and carried
by the prevailing currents of air would
account for the repetition and long con-
tinuance of the light. The finer the par
ticles of matter in the skies the slower
their fall. And as 1t is certain that the
volcanic vapor dust sent up to such
heights by the eruption in question would
linger long in the upper air and would
naturally reflect the light as seen, science
is settling to this theory as the one that
explains the phenomena. What the sub
tie spiritual meanings of such convul
sions are, if any, only dreamers like John
Ruskin now pretend to knew.-Chicagl
