THE removal of Hon. Jos. Bookwalter
as collector of customs of Minnesota is q
striking violation of the presidents
promise that faithful officers should not
be disturbed for pirtisan reasons until
the expiration of their terms. Mr.. Book
walter IL not an aggressive partisan. He
has always voted the Republican ticket
and Is Republican but not of the kind
who set up the pins and run the caucus
es. He was q faithful officer, capable
and painstaking. 1t 10 said charges were
preferred against him, but the light Of
day has not been permitted to shine up
on them and the author Is not willing to
acknowledge them. Jos. Bookwalter Is
an honest man and good officer. His
removal was without good cause and In
contravention Of the pledges of the Dem
ocratic party when It nominated its can
didate, and of the promises of that can.
didate both before and after his election.

The Fair will transpire. The manage
ment have succeeded in bridging
over the crisis, and are now turning thu
crank of preparation with the power ant
determination of Hercules. Will yol
rally to the rescue, now that the oppor
tunity is coming, or will you bury all the
mammoth products of your field and gar
den in the dark recluse of your own eel
lar, and allow the space in Agricultural
Hall to reverberate with empty echoes
and the management to lose confidence
in agricultural enterprise. No better
means exists to further excellence in any
branch of industry than comparison, and
the whole object of agricultural fairs is
to bring together farmers with the best
products of their labors, where each may
see what Is best and gain knowledge to
apply in after years efforts.
Last year the display of stock at Man.
kato was one worthy State fair, and the
mechanical department was equally well
furnished with exhibits; but the agricul-
tural department proper, was not what
region like Southwestern Minnesota
should provide, and can provide. Last
year, to be sure, the dates were some
what out of season, but this year the
time fixed will accommodate all, and
there is no farmer but that can afford to
come at least one day and bring his fam
lily along. Stockmen are preparing to
come on i'm force, and the best herds OF
every specie of domestic animals In the
State will be here. II is needless to say
that every manufacturing establishment
will be fittingly represented, and floral
hall will greatly eclipse the display made
in it last year, hence our rural friends
will he amply rewarded for their visit.
But this will not complete the fair. All
these, howsoever complete they may'be
fail TO bring success if u first-class agricul-
tural display is lacking. A successful
fair at Mankato this fall will be the be-
ginning of series from year to year,
which will place this part of the State on
an equal footing with other portions that
are holding large and enthusiastic fairs
every fall. Itissomething Southwestern
Minnesota has never had, and her fate
in this regard hangs upon the coming
fair in September. A failure now will be
failure i'm the future. But this will not
be unless very unfavorable weather
should prevail. All come and bring or
send in something to help swell the col
lection of exhibits.

GEN. GRANTS DEATH.

General Ulysses s. Grant Is dead He
breathed his last at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning, surrounded by his family and
attending physicians.
Just nine months ago Wednesday Gen.
eral Grant walked into the Office Of DR..
Douglass TO get medical advice npon an
affection of his throat, which had become
very troublesome. From that date until
the time of death, his condition, and all
attendant circumstances have been
brought before the people from day to
day through the medium of the daily
press of the country; therefore, any at
tempt to recount the events of this peri
oil, would be but reviewing what the
whole world is already painfully cogniz-
ant of. Since his removal to Mount Nc
Gregor, the bracing air and change OF
surroundings generally, together with
the constant services of his faithful phys
ician, all united in making his condition
more comfortable, and this no doubt
eked out the great life for several weeks
more than could have been done at his
city home.
For several weeks, the daily reports
had been source of satisfaction to the
nation, that stood at his bedside, rs II
were, but on Tuesday of this week, the
iron frame of the patient began to yield
it's physical powers alarmingly, and con-
tinued 80 until the hour of death,
when the feeble thread was severed,
thus releasing from mortal state the soul
of the greatest man the world contained
His prevailing characteristics, fortitude
and manly resignation to the dictates Of
fate, never for moment yielded; and
served to lead him through his final and
declining hours, as faithfully and sincere.
ly as they did at Appomattox or Donel'
son and Henry, when liie's prime vigol
iingled along every nerve and fired each
succeeding impulse
To attempt eulogy of him would be
mos absurdly presumptuous, for to eulo
gize properly, the one who writes needs
be familiar with the details of the life
and works of his subject, and who vii
presume to- vhten the American PEG
pie upon lie and services of Genera
Grant! l. - career is familiar to all class
es, and the value of his services to tn,
American government is best known b.
those whom he served. All that can b,
said, and the best that can be said is
that his name will enter the list alonl
side of the greatest of our national he
roes and benefactors, to stand 80 long a
literature exists and civilization contin
ues.
There is need only to recall one actor
in the life of General Grant to convinc
any fair minded person that he was thu
most humane and magnanimous of men
and that back of the firm, grim visage o
the warrior, the milk of human kindnes
flowed abundantly. 1t Is the act of re
turning to General Lee his sword whel
he and his immense army had been re
duced to prisoners of war. At the tim
when ordinary men grew bitter in feel
ing and deadly of intent toward the enc
mics of their country, the charity AM
fair impulse of the Generals nature di,
not become in the least scared by tn
struggles of four years war, and Their
and then these qualities reached thei
climatic point.

"The retiring postmaster was not a
soldier, and on this score has no advan-
tage over his successor. "-ReCiep.
The retiring postmaster was about
seven years of age when the war broke
out. Was his successor old enough to
carry a musket, or were his sympathies
for "the other side" too strong to over
come? We are led to believe that the
present postmaster had the advantage
of maturity, at least, over his predeces-
