The Mormons still have a
hope that if they show bold front
and continue their defiant attitude
the government will finally relax
its efforts to destroy polygamy.
They ought to be given no room
for INDUCING in this hope. The
people Of the United Stares do not
intend that polygamy shall ever
have their sanction for its exis-
tence. They are inaulgent now
and hope to put an end to the evil
by quiet means, but if the courts
fail to deal with it successfully,
force will be used to destroy it.
Forcible means will take the place
of peaceable mans as soon as the
settlement of the country brings
the people into closer relations
with the evil.-[savannah News,

SENATOR Sherman is the great
political chameleon of the 18th CEN
tury. He can change color with
every varying light. He has laid
aside the blood-dyed garments that
he won in the Ohio campaign, and
has gone to Virginia clad in the
snow white emblems Of peace. As
the wolf said to the kid in the fable
time and place make wonderful
difference in the tone of John Sher-
mans speech. After reading one
Of his Ohio speeches we picture him
in Imagination as a mail-clad war;
clad warrior, his hands reeking in
the blood of slain rebels, and his
valiant sword carrying death aud
destruction to the white people of
the South. Then turning to bis
Petersburg speech with its sweet,
honest words of adulation for the
people whom but a week ago he
held up on the point Of his lance,
we are prone to believe that he is
the veritable dove, with its olive
branc, which escaped flom Noah's
ark 1000 years ago. A versatile
genius is John Sherman, our 10

A bold highway robbery was COM
mitted one night last week in the town
Of Lafayette. A young man who was
returning home from New Ulm with q
sick horse was halted on the road by
two men and inside to disgorge what
little change he had about him. As q
persuasive argument one Of the high
waymen held the muzzle of q revolver
against the young mans head. while
the other threatened to run the tines of
a pitchfork through his body if he made
the slightest objection to thoir demand.
OF course under such circumstances he
could do nothing else but fork over.
He has since armed himself with self
cooking revolver and the next highway
man that tackles him will be very apt
to get taste of cold lead. No clue to
the highwaylnen has yet been obtained
and it is more than probable that they
were couple of tramps and took this
method of replenishing their depleted
treasury.

CARD OF THANKS.

In the death of our beloved husband
and father we have met an irreparable
loss, and in this our great affection it
is consoling to know that there are so
many good and true friends who honor
the memory of the dead and sympa-
thize with the living, as was made man
fest by the very large attendance at
the funeral obsequies last Sunday. To
all these we desire to tender our heart
felt thanks, and especially to Col. VIM.
Pf@nder and the M@nnerchor for in-
valuable services at the grave.

New Ulm celebrated the 23rd ami
versary of the Sioux massacre on Sa-
turday last. It seems to us that this is
one of the events that the people Of
Minnesota would rather forget than
celebrate. Glencoe Register.
1t was not the massacre of defenseless
women and innocent babes that the de-
tenders of New Ulm in 1862 celebrated
recently. but the final battle at New
Ulm which terminated in the defeat OF
the Sioux Indians. Had the Indians
succeeded in their effort to capture
New Ulm there is no knowing to what
magnitude the massacre would have
spread. There is no improperly in
the defenders of New Ulm coming to-
gether occasionally and celebrating
their victory.

Of our guests at the recent reunion and
celebration, and on his return home
this is what he tells the Sentinel readers
about our city:
'.New Ulm is amongst the handsomest
(if not the finest) located cities of the
State, resting upon two dry and level
benches or table lands, that rise in front
of and recede from the Minnesota river,
and beyond the fiat Immediately 'front.'
ing the river. The streets are general
~ broad and beautiful avenues, and as
clean as a well kept house floor. The
business heart of the city is well built
with brick blocks; there are numerous
fine residences, magnificent Gig htroom
public school house, costing $23, 600.
surrounded by block of ground; q
fine county block, the large Turner
hall, splendid Lutheran college build
ing, nestled amid heavy growth of
timber on the hill side in the rear of
town, several good church buildings, a
large Catholic hospital building, three
-four mills with joint capacity Of
nearly 500 barrels per day, four
breweries, and numerous minor in
dustries. But better than all and over
topping all, is the general intelligence
and public spirit of the people of New
Ulm, who have from the first (under
the inspiration of the Turner society
thrown their whole weight in favor of
the highest intellectual and physical
culture of themselves and children, and
the growth of social warmth that wins
the admiration of all who fall under its
charming influence"
Speaking of the entertainment of the
defenders by our people Mr.. Green says
"Whether in detail or as q whole,
the entire entertainment of the day by
the people of New Ulm was princely in
hospitality and grandly carried out.
Everything was done with the precision
of clock-work, and without jair, and
whether in private residences, at hotels.
or at the Hall, the heart of the people
Of. the city was open, and the best that
could be produced was at the service Of
the guests. It was the good fortune OF
the writer and his wife to share the
lavish hospitality of c. w. H. Heide-
man and lady. And we thought we
had certainly received the best treat
ment of any of the guests; but every
other guest we talked with told the
same story. No people could have
furnished grander season of pleasure
to visitors.
