Mr.. Billing has disposed of his stock
of drugs and store fixtures to Mr.. VIM.
Emerson, of GAINESVILLE. In speaking of
this transfer, the Argus says:
"Mr. Emerson for number of years,
has been ut the head of the firm of EN-
erson 4 Emerson, druggists, in this
place. He still retains his interest here,
though the store will be under charge of
Mr.. Robert Emerson. Mr.. Emerson is
competent druggist, graduate of a
school OF pharmacy, and every way
worthy of the patronage of the citizens
of Mankato."
We are glad to welcome Mr.. Emerson
to our business circles, and there is no
reason why live man like Mr.. L. can
not secure his share of patronage.
The Mankato Fire Dept received
invitation from Albert Lea Tuesday to
attend the celebration at that place on
July 9TH. A special meeting has been
called for Monday evening, at which
time it will be determined whether or
not the department will accept the invi-
tation. 1t is more than likely that the
boys will go down, and if they do, roy
al time will be had. The Germania band
is expected to accompany the party.

who will no doubt see to it that he gets
his full share of patronage, and being
well read in law, and fully competent to
handle any case entrusted to him, he
will work up Il satisfactory business. In
fact he already has good practice. We
wish Mr.. Shissler all sorts of good luck.

THE ANTI-SALOoN rTOyEMENT,

THE ANTI.SALOON MOVEMENT.
The anti-saloon movement continues to at
tract attention, though it does not yet
"boom." The organizers of the movement
desire that the Republican party shall an
nounce that it will endeavor as party to re-
duce the business of dram selling and mini
mize the evils resulting from it, leaving each
State to secure these ends by such legislation
as shall be deemed advisable. The purpose
of the movement is to antagonize the saloons
and draw the lines clearly between the Re
publican party and the housekeeping ele-
ment. 1t is expected and it is intended that
the result will be to send every saloon keeper
into the Democratic party and keep them all
there, but it is not believed that the mass of
those who drink liquor will follow the saloon
keepers.
How much this will all amount to remains
to be seen. Not much, in our opinion. The
Boston Traveller correctly describes the
movement when it says: The anti-saloon
movement, while it might, under certain cir
cumstances, appeal successfully to the SYM
pathies of all friends of law, order and moral
ity, suffers the disadvantage of appearing to
be what it is not. In the several conferences
which have been held, here and in other
states, it has been the aim of those having
charge to stick to two propositions, namely,
that something must be done to curtail the
power of the saloon, and that this can only
be done by acting with the Republican par
ty. This is not, seemingly, so much a hos
tile advance against the Democratic host as it
is an endeavor to WOO the prohibitionists to
the Republican ranks in order that united
effort may be made in 1888 for the putting
of somebody into the White House.
The prohibitionists will probably not be
very successfully wooed. They have got a
very strong idea that they can ''go it alone, "
and they will probably keep that idea. Their
political action is very comforting to the
Democrats, who profit by it.

ALONG WASHINGTON RoAns.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland and
Coachnan Albert on the Drives.

COachman Albert on the Drives.
[From the Nashville Union.l
There is no doubt of the fact that the Pres
ident looks better when you see him out driv-
ing now than he has looked since he came to
Washington. He is the picture of health and
contentment. AS for Mrs. Cleveland, she is
picture. Her usually rather pale face is
flushed by the drive, her delicately curved
lips, rosy and betwitching, are wreathed in
smiles Her head is surmounted by dainty
bonnet, or sometimes q jaunty hat. Her
dress, which is generally of some quiet tint,
fits faultlessly faultless figure. Both she
and the President seem to take keen inter-
est in whatever goes on about them. The
look of stolidity and curious reserve has dis
appeared from the Presidents face, and he
looks about him and he drives about tha
city with a new interest. This is probably in
part because of the more agreeable and viz
acious companion than he had in the days of
his bachelor drives, and partly from the fact
that he has become land owner in the Dis
trict of Columbia. There is nothing like a
personal and property interest to brighten up
the attention toward passing objects. Every
body knows the Presidents rig from afar, mot
that they can discern the President as quickly
or that they can even tell the seal browns at
glaLce, but there is one feature of the turn
out on which they never make a mistake; it
is 'Albert," a big, broad shouldered honest
faced fellow, with a face az black as it is hon
est and rare skill in the management of
horses. You may know that he is a good
driver, for President Grant trusted him.
Grant brought Albert with him when he
came to the White House, and if ever there
was a man in the Executive Mansion who
knew how horse ought to be managed his
name was Grant. Albert was with Grant
during his entire eight years in the White
House, and would probably have left there
with him had the general been intending to
esta ablish himself in home at once. AS it
was, however, Albert stayed at the White
House. He drove for Hayes, he drove for
Garfield, he drove for Arthur, and now he
is driving for Cleveland. So, when the citi.
zens of Washington see Albert's honest face
and broad shoulders on the box of any car
riage they at once say. "The Presidents
team,'' and all eyes are in that direction; for
even Washington, which has had President
all its life, never gets tired staring at him, no
matter what his name or how familiar his
face,
