MANKATO.

IL
The "Glorious Fourth was just regular
screamer at Mankato.
Company did some nice double quick
marching Friday evening when the shower came
up.
Mr.. Asa Weaver of Granite Falls, Minnesota,
father Of Ed Weaver of Mankato, is visiting his
son here.
The Mankato police force are to be uniformed
which is decided improvement and will add to
the majesty of the law.
The visiting fremen from Albert Lea left on
Saturday morning for home, their band playing
serenade at the depot.
The brick work ON the First National bank
building and that of w. T. Mills is completed
and two very neat looking buildings they make,
too
Mr.. j. R. Thomas, son of r. j. Thomas, the
grocer, formerly for long time connected with
the Citizens National bank here, but now of
Minneapolis, passed the Fourth at home.
They took with them $780, the Faribaut COM
pany dividing the second and third money
equally with them on their tie. Neither COM
pany need be ashamed of the record they made.
A more quiet, orderly, well-governed city than
Mankato was ON yesterday would be hard to find
There were few if any intoxicated people upon
the streets, and no quarreling or fighting. Either
the crowd were amicably disposed or else they
had a wholesome respect for the law and kept
within bounds.
We are advised to look out soon for charming
residence lots in prospect Heights an ad-
dition to Mankato now being plated by N. G.
Willard and j. n, Hall, on the high wooded ia
BILE land south of Prof, Searing's. They say
Prospect avenue, giving the easiest known as
cent of the bluffs, traverses the whole length of
the heights, and gives magnificent view of city
and surrounding country for the whole distance
But they ont want US to say much about 1t till
we have taken a birds eye view for ourselves.
The millinery establishment Of j. T. Linfestey
formerly occupyinga corner in the Mcconnell
store, has been removed to the building formerly
occupied by j. r. Jones' drug store. A full line
of ladies' furnishing goodslwill very soon be
added. Mrs. Linfestey will keep thoroughly
posted in all the latest styles and will be able to
to keep up with the times in everything.
Hon. r. A. Jones, of Rochester, j. c. Wise,
of Mankato, delegates, and j. F. Meagher al
ternate for j C. Wise, to the national Demo-
cratic convention which assemblies at Chicago on
the Sth instant, left for St. Paul, Saturday morn
ing to meet the rest of the Minnesota delegation.
AS usual the GLOBE can be depended upon to
give the best report of any Minnesota paper Of
all of interest that occurs there.

The Fair Grounds.

The panorama which Sibley mound, the
grounds, track and buildings of the Southern
Minnesota Live Stock and Fair association pre-
scented at the opening on the Fourth ought to
have been sketched, for no view half so pretty
could be found in many long days scarce.
The beautiful ''Sibley mound" rising up back of
the amphitheater and extending along the entire
home stretch, its green-terraced and
steep sides dotted over with people,
the white costumes of the ladies
contrasting with the dark ones of the men, the
lines of carriages and their occupants crowning
the summit, and below at their feet the build
ings, track, and thousa nds of people that lined
it, all presented a spectacle at once grand and
imposing, and won from each spectator the ex-
carnations, sHow beautiful s'Isn't it lovely!''
.'What grand sight, and other
similar expressions. Hon. r.. Jones, the
orator of the day was particularly struck with
the beauty of the location and its desrability
for fair and racing purposes.
sit is certainly the finest in the state and
ought to be owned and held perpetually by the
city for such purposes said he, and the senti-
ment was echoed by every individual on the
grounds. The association has made lucky hit
and may well feel proud of their beautiful
grounds.

The 4fHIptPS.

The Red Wing boys, who were not quite up to
the rest ON the Fourth, have a most reasonable
excuse in the fact that they were up all of the
night before en- route for Maukato and were really
unfit for work When the Faribault trial comes
off their muscle will tell, and it would be no sur
prise to see them lower their record enough to
hurry some of the other fellows.

Another Contest.

. A project is on foot looking toward another
contest of the Mankato hose companies. The
unfortunate accident which befel Superior No. 2,
of this city, left them out without a record, and
Excelsior No. 1 carried off the honors. The
proposal now is to raise purse of S25 for these
companies to compete for. The idea is good
one, and will give the boys chance to retrieve
themselves.

my views or the nominations of Blaine and
Logan may be briefly Stated. They should be
opposed in any event, as too positively bad to be
accepted, no matter what the alternative, or.
rather, without considering alternative. But,
when you further ask my opinion as to the duty
of Republicans and Independents, I have some
hesitation in sending it to you; for am no Re
publican and / am an Independent, not as one
who occasionally bolts nomination of one of
the two great parties, but as one of Il large num-
Der who have long been entirely dissatisfied
with any party ties now proposed to them, and
who are waiting and hoping that new party
will very soon Srystalize to defy existing organi-
cations on its own platform and by its own can
didates.''
sswhat the Democratic party may
give us we do not know. We hope that, since
principle appears to have left one convention, it
may find some foothold in another. We know
now what candidates not to vote for. If the
next convention only gives us further infor-
nation of the same kind, We propose of two
evils to choose neither and initiate the found
ers of the Republican party in starting for
selves"
James L. Claflin, af Lombard, Illinois,
writes:
For two hundred and fifty years the territory
of the United States has been the asylum of the
oppressed and poor of all nations. God gave
these fertile hills and valleys for that purpose.
For hundred years the traditions of our gov
ernmeut and our laws have confirmed the grant.
Twenty-eight years ago the Republican party
made the rights Of humanity their first platform.
III 1860 they reaiirmed their former declarations.
In 1854 they inserted this specific plank: s'Re-
solved, that the foreign immigration, which in
the past has added much to the wealth and
development OF resources and increase
of power to this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and
encouraged by liberal and just policy In
1858 again, in the same words, they declared
this country 1.-THE asylum of the oppressed of all
nations In 1884, ut Chicago, they say in their
platform: ave pledge ourselves to sustain the
present law restricting Chinese immigration, and
to provide such farther legislation So is neces-
sary to carry.out its purposes and assigned as
reason for 1t their .shatred of slave labor

General Manager Henry wood and

In their efforts to diversity she crops
and develop the country along their
lines of railway. They have lately
given considerable attention TO the
feasibility of introducing the culture
of the jutc and Ranie plants.
Recently while in st. Louis they
examined machinery manufactured
for crushing jute and extracting gum
from the fibre. This seems some
what difficult. bat without proper
crushing and extracating Of the gum
the plant is worthless. They hope,
however, very soon to have machin-
cry located in the Arkansas valley,
which will accomplish the desired
result and enable cotton planters 20
raise by the side of the cotton plant
the material which is used to wrap
the fleecy staple for the market. Col
Gibson today showed the Democrat
reporter some stalks Of jute raised by
G. w. Davis on his Jefferson county
plantation, which are sixteen feet
high. strong and well developed.
The fibre OF these plants is as strong
as leather thongs and by its length
and strength well adapted to the
manufacture of bagglng, rope, etc.
We are assured that this plant in
Africa, its native home. grows no
larger than the specimens shown.
Besides yielding more revenue per
acre than cotton, it is claimed that
the entire crop can he raised and cut
