A copy of the Fifth State Neurological
report of California has been sent us, and
in il is paper by Prof, \. III. Winchell,
state geogologist of Minnesota, descrip-
five Of the Minnesota mineral exhibit
at New Orleans in 1885. Ina speaking of
the Mankato stone, he has this TO say
concerning the pillar erected by Messrs.
w. b. Craig q Co.. Of this city.
The Mankato stone was exhibited by
one Of the most imposing objects in the
whole building. This was spindling
monument, four feet square at the base,
made OF nineteen blocks, rising thirty
three feet above the floor. This was
surmounted by staff which supported
a gilded crescent, which on either side
bore the motto l. EtoiLe du NOrd. Slight
Nv above the crescent, resting upon an
invisible wire, glittered golden star,
the highest object erected within the
building. This monument was designed
and constructed by w. b. Craig & Co.,
of Mankato, and was intended to show
the alterations of the natural layers Of
the quarry from which the blocks were
taken, from bottom to top. This monu-
nent was left standing in its place when
the Minnesota exhibit was dismantled
and returned home. If it's foundation
be made more secure it will form a per-
manent ornament In the PARK after the
buildings are removed. 1t is well worth
preservation and would be one Of the
most lasting mementoes Of the great Ex-
position.

IT is pretty generally conceded that
the president rushed in where he had
not been invited In sending to the SEN
ate his message on suspended officials.
His message was able enough and cour-
ageous enough, and all that, but there
was no call for it. No one had disputed
his constitutional right to suspend OFF,
Gals, and in the effort to get hold of the
papers relating to the conduct of dis
charged officials, no inquiry was adj
dressed to him personally. No doubt
the senate, since the president had an
nounced, so many times and with such
bewilderIng 1ourishes of trumpets that
a public Office was public trust, and no
officer was to be removed until the end
of his term except for cause, was anx-
ious to know what the "cause" was in u
great number of cases where persons re-
moved were supposed to be men OF the
best of regulations, but he had not been
invited to explain. And he has not ex-
planned either. There is a feeling
abroad that he could not if he wonld
and would not if he could.-&. Peter

MINI ESOTA RIVER IMPROVE.
MENT.

Congressman Wakefield, in a letter TO
the editor of The FREE Pass says that
he last week presented the claims of
our people Ia an appropriation for the
Improvement of the Minnesota river,
but as the government engineer, in his
last report, Says nothing is needed for
this river, there being no commerce on
IL, it vas impossible by reason ola stand
ing rule of the committee 10 secure any
appropriation for improvement. The
committee, however, asked Mr.. Wake
field to prepare written brief which
nc has done, and hc has been assured
that an appropriation sufficient TO cover
the cost of another survey will be made,
when the facts OF the feasibility of the
Improvement of this river will be
brought out. it shall appear iustitia-
bic, Mr.. Wakefield feels quite sure
that recommendation from the engi-
neer will follow. and al another session
Of congress an appropriation may be
had
II is to he hoped that this will be the
case. The report Of the government
surveyor, that nothing is needed for
this river, there being no commerce on
it, Is untenable. Let the government
put the river IN proper condition, and
there will be no lack Of commerce. The
country lying along and contiguous 10
the Minnesota river is the most wealthy
and prolific IN the state, and an outlet
10y water To the great mar Is Of the world
would he of inestimable value to this
vast region.

ANOTHER TID-BIT.

Yours truly,
J. T. WILLIAMS.

Editor Free Press.
The letter of Mr.. J. T. Williams re-
garding the selling out of the Austin,
Mankato & st. Cloud road, has suggest
ed some thoughts to my mind. The ar
rangement, no doubt, Baker and some
of the others contemplated when they
reduced the board Of directors and left
no one but himself TO represent Blue
Earth county, was to sell to this compa-
ny. Baker, by some hocus-pocus
which no one understood, got all the
stock owned in Misunderstanding
over one hundred shares-into his own
name, except 81 shares which he put in
the names OF Jno. A. Willard and q. {.
Burt, and which was doubtless done as
blind, for they never owned over five
or eight shares. In that way he voted
all the stock to carry out the scheme.
when in fact he had no right whatever
to vote over three shares.i
Baker and Officer were told before
they consummated their iniqulty that it
was unwise, reckless and unjust to
transfer the stock without guarantee.
That they could not tell but what some
body controlled this company who want
ed TO freeze out the building of the road.
The agreement, to turn over the stock (;
concern and all, for $4,000 cash, was
made before the bonuses were voted,
and before they came around to secure
the stock from the stockholders and re-
ceived their money therefor. They
were very particular to advance no
money of their own nor take any chan
ces of losing dollar, but were willing
to turn over the road without the slight
est guarantee that il would be built.
Would any man on earth, who was not a
fool, do that honestly, or without some
motive? Was it the $40, 900 which was
to 60 into their own pockets that blind
ed them to the interests of the public
and caused them to betray the people?
Williams asks, was not SAC, 600 pretty
big sum, etc. II would be sum too
small for some individuals to sell them
selves and their community for. Yet it
seems it was big enough to buy several
in this case of mutual infamy and small
souls. MANKATO.

SENATOR EDMuNDs made another dis
