The st. Cloud S. WiIlMar Road.

MrF. r. Dclano. Right Of Way
Agents OF the Manitoba Company, Was
III the city Monday ON buisness
connected with the building Of the
81. Cloud and Willnar branch. He WAS
accompanied by Mr. W. G. Morrison, OF
st. Paul whom he lett TO secure tie
necessary right of way for the road.
Mr.. DeIano says that of the Two lines
surveyed, one from this city and from
ct. Jo., the latter is about three miles
shorter to Cold Springs, while. the
former has the advantage Of running
close by the graaite quarrles.
The line will be decided upon within
the next thirty days, and sixty days
thereafter the road will be built 10
Cold Springs.
A special meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce was held Tuesday evening to
Lake, such action as might be dee'ne1l
best 10 secure the starting OF The road
t. Ola this city instead of st. 10. The
.lani;oba Company does not asks any
bonus from St. Cloud, all it asks is that
ii may be au|e to secure the right o.way
at a reasonable price.

John Mcdonald has been appointed
County School, Superintendent. The
outcome is surprise to most people,
and each Of the defeated aspirants
claims that McDanaitl is more accep-

\ very large amount of figuring, talk,
persuasion. etc, has been done in this
matter, and schemes and candidates
were almost numberless. The board
Of county commissioners met to-day
and accepted DR.. Guernon's reslgna-
ton, and proceeded to take an lnfor-
NAL ballot, which stood-A. j. Nc

Blaine on Grant.
IN his Twenty Years in Congress

4 In his Twenty Years in Con gress,'''
Volume 1, Chapter 25, Mr.. Blaine says:
Z General Grants active service in the
field closed with the surrender of Lee ;.
All the commanders of Confederate
forces followed the example of their
General-jn-chief, and before the end Of
the month the armed enemies Of the
Union had practically ceased to exist.
The fame Of General Grant was full.
He had entered the service with no
factit,ous advantage, and his promotion
from first to last had beef, based on merit
a!one-without the aid of political
influence, without the interposition of
personal friends C,iticism Of military
skill is but i'le chatter in the face of an
.unbroker career OF victory. General
Grants campaiyns have varied in their
requirements, and but for the fertility of
his resources and unbending will, might
often, have ended in disaster Courage
~ t1S 'b'ltd-'OA1 o. IEhI, dtIN ocL. VIallt
possessed IN the highest degree that
faculty which is essential to all great
communicable faculty Of impariil,g
throughout lie rank and file OF his army
The same determination to win with
which lie was himself always inspired.
Ole peculiarly Of General Grants
military career was his constant readiness
to fight. He wished for no long periods
fbreparations,loSt no opportunity which
promptness could turn 10 advantage. He
always accepted, without cavil or
question, the position 10 which he might
he assigned: He never troubled the war
department with requests or complains,
and when injustice was inflicted upon
him, he submitted silently, and did a
soldiers duty. Few men in amy service
would have acQuiesccd SO quietly as
General Grant when, at the close OF the
remarkable campaign beginning at Fort
I!rnry anden,ling at Shiloh, he found
Illinself superseded by General Halleck
and assigned 10 subordinate command
IN an army whose glory was jnscparab|y
associated with his own name. Self
control il the first requisite for him who
aims to control others In that indis-
pcnsal,lc form OF mental discipline Gen
tiranl exhibited perfection.
When he WAS appointed Lieutenant
General and placed in command Of all
The armies Of the Union, he exercised
military control over greater number
OF men Than any other general since the
invention Of firearms. In the campaigns
of 1864 and 1865, the armies Of the Union
contained i'll the aggregate not less than
I, million OF men. The movements of al
the vast forces were kept in harmony h1
General Grants comprehensive mind, anG
in the grand contamination which
insured union and liberty, his name
became inseparnbly associated with tho
true glory Of lis country.
