CifIZ ans of Lac qUi FarIe COnnty

Some interesting kilograms passed be-
tween the governor and the county auditor
of Lac qui Parle county yesterday. The
question of removing the county seat from
Lac qui Parle to Madison was submitted to
the voters of the county at the recent cleo
tion. and was carried. The vote was duly
certified to the governor who issued the
usual proclamation on Thursday. But some
of those wishing TO contest the change Sc
cured a temporary injunction against re-
moval. The kilograms sent were as fol-
lows:
The county records are being removed to
Madison. and the court house is icing torn
down while injunction is served upon the
county officers not to let anything be moved.

Quested the governor not to issue the custom

Her Best Friend.
From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
A hair-pin is a woman's best friend
1t fits a multiplicity OF uses, and she
is never without one. If her hair is
short you can depend upon it that in
a recess of her purse or a pocket OF
her reticule you will find the hair.pin
If she buttons her shoes she uses the
hair-pin, and whoever saw a woman
button her gloves with anything else?
If her head itches does she use her fin.
gers? Nonsense! She whips out a
hair-pin and relieves herself. Suppose
a nickel has dropped between the bars
of the wooden foot CRATE in the
street car Does she soil her
fingers as a man would, and then not
get it? Certainly not Out comes the
hair-pin, and the coin is lifted out
without trouble. II her shawl-pin is
lost where is so good a substitute as the
hair-pin. II she eats nut does she
take nut Dick? Most assuredly not.
The hair-pin again. 1t is with the
hair-pin that she rips open the uncut
leaves of a book or magazine; it is a
hair-pin with which she marks her
progress in her favorite book; if a
trunk key is missing a hair-pin opens
the refractory lock as neatly as a
burglars skeleton key would; with it
she cleanses her finger nails, and, if it
is clean one, even picks her teeth.
And The feats of hair-securing that she
will make simple bow-legged hair pin
accomplish nearly surpasses the belief
of man. Altogether it deserves to be
classed among the great inventions oil
the world.

Manners Next to Morals.
w. Hiscinson in Harper's Bazaar.

T. w. Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.
Many an ardent and Jealous young
reformer offends the very word he is
burning to reform when he refuses to
meet it with some slight compliance;
as Felix Holt, in George Eliot's story,
was willing to die for the improve
ment of society, but could by nc
means consent to wear a cravat for its
sake. Manners come next to morals,
not alone because they help us to make
the world pleasanter and thus render
life easier to all around us, but also be-
cause they afford a key to those greater
successes and usefulness for which all
generors persons belong. And their
domain goes beyond this world, for, i!
the utmost saint makes himself per.
sonally repulsive, he so far diminishes
our desire to meet him in any land OF
pure delights. Miss Edgeworth says,
in "Helen," that any one who makes
goodness disagreeable commits high
treason against virtue; and | remem.
Der how elevated doctrine it seemed
to me when / heard one of my ignor.

The Duke Of Argyll. in aletter concerning

Deeolise the national sympathies there is
profound ignorance in England and the
United States respecting each others con-
stitution. He admits his own ignorance
at the beginning OF the American civil war
in sympathizing with The South. Thesym
patty OF the Americans for the Irish in
their present struggle arises from the error
OF thinking OF Ireland as an American state.
and that the English are withholding from
Ireland powers similar to those possesse d
by different states OF the American Union
Nothing could be more erroneous than
this idea. Referring to the right OF each OF
the United States to a due share OF the
general powers OF congress and TO the
checks in lite power OF seii.government which
each state allows, he says that Mr.. Glad
stones proposal violates both these prin.
ciples, for the corrupt and immoral bar.
gain banishes Ireland from the imperial
councils and surrenders the minority entire
ly in the hands of the local majority.
Americans viii hardly believe this. but it
is strictly true. The pretended limitations
and restraints against local tyranny are
quite illusory The duke then appeals TO
Americans 10 clearly unders tand the
Unionist constitution, namely; that it
has been for Ireland's sake solely that
the Unionists have given opposition to Mr..
Gladstone's Irish schemes. It is the Union
lists and not the members of the govern.
ment who are fighting for the liberties OF
the Irish people. Even il Mr.. Parnell were
immortal, or II his party represented far
larger numerical majority OF Irish people
than ii really does, neither he nor they
would have a right to dispose of the con-
stitutional rights OF Ireland. We do not
desire TO see Ireland reduced to the condi-
| ton of being but tributary province and
banished from tho imperial councils, Meth.
err can we see her endowed with powers
over her own people which no civilized
government ought to have or ask. We de-
sire TO see her continue sharing in the de-
liberations which the eloquence OF her sons
/ has SO often adorned.

Judge Fullerton Is a New York lawye,

Judge Fullertonis a New York lawyer
of eminence. Recently, in contending
before q committee of Congress fer the
payment ofcertain Confederate bonds,
he declared, in a theatrical manner,
that he was a Republican, but it was
his opinion that these bonds ought to
be. and some time would be, redeemed.
This was a hold assertion In the face
Of clause 4 Of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States. Congressman Reagan of Tex
as is not only Democrat, but served
as e Cabinet officer in the Confedera-
cy. He differs in opinion with Fuller
ton. and declares that the argument
of the Judge produces hurtful effect
upon the public mind. Mr.. Reagan
adds: "FuIlerton's assumption that
because the United States forbade the
states paying the debt, the United
States made itself liable for damages
resulting from constitutional proyis-
ions, is clearly without the support of
any recognized legal principle. When
the Confederate Government ceased
to exist all the rights, powers, duties
and obligations on thesoart Of any OF
the States which composed the Con-
federacy to pay itsdebts slso ceased"
Mr.. Reagan believes that the ex-
pressed opinions Of Judge Fullerton
nre further hurtful because "they may
stimulate the hopes Of holders ofths
Confederate debt which can never be
realized.
