The other day we had al hour or two
to look around our neighboring town
of Sibley. and we must say that it i'm
pressed us rs live town and one which
is coming forward rapidly. The main
street Was lined with teams and the
business rooms were nearly all occupied.
We noticed but one vacant store room
in the handsome block built by Close
Bros. The stores, moreover, had the
appearance of city stores, evidently
having passed the stage of the rough
and-ready country store.
We dropped in first on Bros. Hawk.
hurst and Carew, of the Gazette, and
then dropped up stairs into the big
academy of music building and called
on Bros. Dennis and Webster of the
Tribune. We found both Offices with
power presses ard busy rs bees. Sibley
evidently knows how to draw trade by
advertising and then how to do bust
ness after they have advertised It.

A Pre- diction.
ages 95

1t seems that Henry Ward Beech
er was not the first to predict that
Robert Lincoln will be the next
president.
A well-known Republican of this
state informs us that the late Post
master General Howe, few months
before his death, uttered the same
prediction. He said that he had
come TO form a very high opinion
Of Robert Lincoln. In the cabinet
and in social intercourse be had
learned to know him we'll. He pos
sessed excellent abilities, clear judy
ment and frmness, united with a
strong, manly, upright character
In regard to executive capacity, he
considered him more than the equal
of his father, and he predicted that
these qualities would be recognized
by the people, and that he would be
the next president of the United
States.
The growing talk in favor of Lin
coin for the first place on the ticket,
which comes from all parts of the
country, makes it not at all improba-
BILE that this prediction will be veri-
fed. Even The Albany On. W
Evening Journal, which has been
booming Blaine, contains the follow
ing: "George William Curtis was
in the convention that nominated
Abraham Lincoln and made speech
which led the convention to high
ground in condemnation OF slavery.
Mr.. Curtis would be just the man to
nominate Abraham Lincoln's son at
Chicago"

Judged by It's Record.

Two national political conventions
will soon assemble, one in June and
the other in July, both of which viii
ask the people to trust them with
the control of the Federal Admins
tration for the next four years. The
Republicans will ask to be continu-
ed in power because they have done
SO well during the time they have
had the management of public af-
fairs, and they viii boldly challenge
the closest scrutiny into their past
history. The Democrats will ask to
be placed in charge of the Govern
ment ship on the strength of the
fair promises they are always ready
to make, and because of what they
call the conservative and benefcent
policy that they pretend to be anx.
ious TO inaugurate.
Both of these political parties
must be judged by the records that
they have already made, and are now
making, and the first Tuesday in
November next is the day when the
people will render judgment The
Democrats will go into the fight with
this motto inscribed upon their ban
ner: "Turn the rascals outw and the
Republicans viii inscribe upon
theirs: "Keep the rascals OUT"
1t is a fortunate thing for the Re
publican party, though not for the
country, that the Democratic party
has not been kept entirely on the
back seat during all these years, but
it has been given ample opportunity
occasionally to show its capacity in
legislation and in craftsmanship. 1t
has been on trial since last Deem
Der by having large majority in
the House, and the country has not
ed what it has done and what it is
leaving undone Ithas been making
therecord by which it is to be judged
by the people in the next campaign,
and, as far as it has got, its worst en-
emies need not wish TO have it make
a more conspicuous failure. The
ashington Star, which is is not a
Republican paper, contrasts the bus
mess habits and industry of the Re
publican Senate with the dllatory
Democratic House, and then indul.
ges in this seasonable comment:
st is now the middle of April,
and members are already talking of
adjournment, and yet scarcely a sin
gle subject of serious importance on
which legitimate differences of opin-
ion exist, outside of the money bills,
has reached a vote. Not one piece
of affirmative legislation of any con.
sequence has been added to the stat
utes, although the most important in
terests are clamoring for attention.
The electoral count, the refunding
bills, the coinage, the Mormon ques-
ton, the shipping interest, the Bank
ruptcy bill, the relief of the Supreme
Court, the disputed land grants, the
tariff, the Militia bill, reform in the
diplomatic and consular systems, the
admission of various Territories Us
States, our isthmus policy, the postal
telegraph question and many Other
matters lie in indiscriminate bond
age in the prison houses of the cal
endars "
That is a fair comment on the
record of the Democratic party
made by a friendly newspaper pub
lished under the shadow of the

THE Boston Herald, an indepen-
dent paper with Democratic lean
ings, and a supporter of Tilden and
reform" in 1876, does not blaze
with enthusiasm over the suggestion
that the coming presidential canvass
shall be made on the issue of Til
den's alleged wrongs. Quoting
Judge Doolittle's declaration at the
Iroquois banquet that "the electoral
outrage Of 1876 is unavenged, but
not forgotten" it says;
ri the Democratic party proposes
to make the avenging of this wrong
its first and only business, postpon.
ing tax reduction and all other re
forms until the sweets Of vengeance
are tasted, in the name Of common
sense, why did it not force the issue
in 1850, when the outrage was still
fresh, By reuominatine Tilden and
Hondmcks, and demanding the judg-

failure to do SO removed the question

head cannot now be healed by elect.

In his speech about week ago at
the Iroquois banquet, Mr.. Pendleton
had the gall to assert that the Dem
ocratic party is pledged to civil-ser-
vice reform. He also characterized
the spoils system as ga crime against
civilization. On Monday last the
Democratic majority voted almost
solidly against repeating the law
which provides that the term of the
greater number of federal officers
shall be limited to four years, a law
which is one of the bulwarks of the
spoiIs system. The Chicago Times
justly says:
The measure was a fair test of the
pretended hostility of the Bourbons
to that practice of barbarism. 1t
was a crucial test of the verify of
Mr.. PenGleton's assertion that the
organized appetite called the Demo
crat party is pledged to a reform"
movement that proposes to stop the
/ practice of that barbarism. If there
ever has been in the whole course of
history a clearly.made issue upon a
distinct proposition of public policy,
such an issue was made by the meas
ure in question upon the spoils bar
barism 1t was not a proposition to
put an immediate termination to that
barbarism; 1t was only proposition
to restrain 1t 10y making its practice
less easy. 1t was not a proposition
to go suddenly to the end, but to
take an essential step toward the
end, that civil-service reform pro
poses to reach. Yet the party that
Mr. Pendleton has told us Is "pledg
ed to that reform" deliberately re.
| fused to take that step.

CAPITAL NOTES.


small grains are planted, and now a
warm rain is the demand. Madison
streets are very dusty, and the high
winds Of Saturday and Sunday ar
reused wish for street sprinklers.
Saturday evening the freight
office of the c., M. 81 st. p. Co. here
was destroyed by fire. Most of the
freight was got out without injury,
and only little was damaged by
water. The loss to the company is
not serious. The stone walls of the
building are intact, only the roof
and some interior woodwork being
consumed.
Two or three of the men injured
in the capitol disaster last fall have
begun suits for damages against the
contractors. The progress of these
suit will be noted with interest, for
in their coure it is expected much
light will be shed, by which it can be
seen where the responsibility for
the disaster should properly rest
The contractors are confident that
no court will render verdict against
them, and say they are anxious that
the most searching enquiry into the
construction of the building shall
be made. Their theory is, that the
accident was due to other causes
than defective material or inferior
work. They are sanguine that up
on the most rigid enquiry it will APP
pear that they followed the specif.
cations and sought to do an honest
| Job in accordance Herewith.
Before this is published the Wis
consin delegation to the Republican
National Convention will be made
up, so it were a waste of time and
space to speculate as to who will
compose it The strife between
Blaine and Arthur in New York, it
is generally felt here, will result in
the defeat of both these men in the
convention. With the feeling dis
played at Utica, and'in many of the
| district conventions of the Empire
State, it were almost against reason
to hope that the elements could be
sufficiently united on either Blaine
or Arthur to carry that state for him
in November.
The Sunday Telegraph says that
I the Wisconsin delegation will, with
the exception of two, be for Gen.
Sherman, after Fairchild. We hope
this is true, but fear the telegraph
may be mistaken
One of the It'll district delegates
elect having been arrested on a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses, has resigned, and
another has to be chosen. Under a
pretext that the people would be
