THREE GREAT EVENTS

Have happened during Cleveland's
administration. First, rendering public
honors regardless of expense to one of
the basest traitors of the rebellion, Jak @
Thompson. Second, the triumphant
circle swinging of the unrepentant lead
er and chiefofthe Democratic rebellion,
jeff Davis, during which such brilliant
lights in the Democratic galaxy OF
statesmen as Senator Gordon and others
took occasion to show their sympathy
with jeff Davis and the lost cause, to say
nothing of their hatred of the union, by
donning their Confederate Uniforms,
swelling the great professions and
joining in the rebel wells that greeted
his appearance ut Atlanta, Montgomery,
and other places on the circuit. Third
the marriage of Grover to Miss Folsom
IN the White House, a very economical
proceeding if Uncle Sam will foot the
bills for proper decorations. IL was, OF
course, a grand affair.
Query, if cards were issued, did Maria
get one?

OUR mention of Il week or two ago
about the simultaneousness of Mr.. Lind's
visit to Blue Earth City and the Post
coming out flatteringly endorsing him
for congress, has caused our neighbors of
the Post to deal in very unjust insinua-
tons towards us-presumably by way of
retaliation. In the first place it was
farthest from our mind to lead the Post
or any one else to believe that we would
insinuate that Mr.. Lind used any in
fluence or undue measures to induce the
Post to support him, or that the proprie-
tors of that paper would be guilty of
trading their convictions or preferences
for swag. The FREE PRESS is friendly
with Mr.. Lind and we are frank to say
that we like the man and shall be as
well pleased, no doubt, if he is nominat-
ed for congress, as the editors of
the Post. Our reason for sup
porting none of the various candidates
at this time is solely because Blue Earth
county has two candidates, both per-
sonal friends of ours, and we would not
choose between them. This is the whole
truth and nothing but the truth-let the
"surmises" be what they may. If the
editors of the Post can't accept joke in
politics without "raising before the
draw" why we shan't ante, that's all.
For the information of the Post We will
say that "Jim" Baker has no mortgage
upon us, either personal, real or fancied.
Now then, brother, fire away.

JONI KELLEY, Tammany Halls great
chieftain, died at his home i'm New York
ut 800 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. Mr.
Kelley had for years been the leading
Democratic politician of New York and
his death takes from that organization
its strongest prop and most aggressive
supporter. He was born in New York
City April Goth, 1922. His father was 9
Tyrone county lrishman and his mother
Sarah Donnelly, came from the county
Fermanagh. He lost his Gather when
he was but eight years old, and was a
self-made man in every sense. During
his lifetime Mr.. Kelley filed many
places of public trust. For years he was
a member of the board of Aldermen OF
New York city. He served two terms
i'm congress and two terms as sheriff OF
the great city he had ever made his
home. He made Il tour of En- rope be-
tween 1868 and 1871, and was man
whose judgement was law on matters OF
politics with the rank and file of New
York Democracy lie will he buried

The Supreme Court last week decided
adversely to the state in the case against
the st. Paul d Sioux City railroad. The
attorney general took the ground that
when the Sioux City company sold the
road TO the Omaha, it forfeited its right
to the franchise and therefore could not
hold its lands exempt from taxation.
The court decides that the franchise is
still valid in the Sioux City company
the transfer not affecting it,and that the
lands cannot be taxed. This decision is
no doubt Ldv but it lacks good deal of
