Hon. Lewis Barker, being called or by the
POSTMASTER, stated that he was not accus-
toned to making after dinner speeches, and
declined to make any extended remarks.
AT this point MIR. Drummond temporarily
resigned his position as master of ceremo-
mics to Mr.. Blaine, who, in a happy manner
asked Mr.. Scion Chase to express hi. mind
The sage of Chase's Mills responded in his
Characteristic manner, and convulsed everv-
BODY with laughter. Once he said, people
were either democrats or republicans now
they are all greenbsckers. Ii was fitting that
party which had nothing to do should die.
Laughter. The problem before us at this
time. as ever. is how to get living, how to
obtain higher wages for labor In speak
ing of Congress he said
Congressman had been referring in no
favorable manner TO the life and duties of
member of Congress, but he thought this
might be one way of pulling the wool over
the eyes of those who might have aspirations
to represent the Congressmsn's own district
at the national Capitol. Once there was
time when thought might go to Congress,
said Scion, but l concluded to stay at home
and drive 'them steers" Laughter.
Mr.. Drummond called on Hon. John c.

Mr.. Talbot spoke in the highest terms of
the banquet, and regarded it as the
grand contamination of his fifteen
years of experience as legislator
of Maine. This privilege Of at
tending the reunion, he thought, was one
of the benefits of being member of other
legislatures.
Hon. Joseph Farwell expressed his tenn
perance sentiments, and was pleased

Many eases like the following could be

After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla freely for

A Bad Weed.

The following from the Glenwood
Press is an article of much impor-
lance. and applies to all western com.
: munities.
s'rhe farmers in some sections of
this county have an enemy that they
should most vigorously assail. We
refer to the wild mustard pest, which
is altogether too numerous on some
of the older farms. 1t can be subdued
only by pulling the plants, root and
branch, when the blossom shows it's
presence and before the seeds mature.
In almost every neighborhood there
are some farmers have fought it dill
gently and successfully, but their ef-
forts are often hindered by others
who neglect their own fields and al
low the evil to spread to the lands of
their more industrious neighbOrs.
by the law Of the state every man is
required to destroy this obnoxious
weed, and the best farmers in every
town and community should see that
it is enforced. In many localities
near us the farmers are combining to
compel compliance with the law.
When every man who ignores the
law is prosecuted, the, work Of eradi-
cation will be undertaken in way to
insure success. but the wild mustard
will thrive 50 long as half way meas.

Tax On Butterine Demanded.

The following. which will explain
itself, Is copy of a petition which
was circulated among our citizens
last week, and was signed by a very
large number of the people of the
county. The petition reads as fol-
lows:
Ito the Senate of the United States:
The undersigned dairymen and butter
makers and residents of Stevens coun-
ty, Mimi, respectfully petition your
honorable body for the adoption of
the bill of the American Agriculture
and Dairy Association, introduced by
Hon. Warner Miller, of New York, in
the Senate. and by Hon. w. L. Scott,
of Pennsylvania, in the House of Re.
representatives., placing the manufac.
ture and sale of all limitations Of but.
ter under the control of the commits
sioner of internal revenue Of the
United States, and taxing it 10 cents
per pound. And your petitioners re-
present that the prompt adoption OF
such effective measures is absolutely
necessary to save the dairy industry
of the United States from ruin and to
protect the consumers of butter from
fraud and imposition of the most ex'
treme character"

COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr., EDITOR;

MIR. EDITOR,
I see by the st. Paul papers that
Mr.. J. J. Hill, of Manitoba Railroad
fame, followed the example of the
illustrious Horace Greeley, and en-
lightened the cattlemen of Montana
by telling them what he knows about
farming. Mr.. Hill is no doubt good
authority on the care of stock-as to
watering the same.
He says he made some money in
farming. There is no good reason
why he should not; his farm is in
Ramsey county and he is not obliged
to pay Manitoba freights. lie does
not appear to have very good opinion
of Minnesota farmers. In this l think
he is right, or they would have regu.
lated his stock several years since.
He also thinks they have a left hand
way of doing their work. l sincerely
hope that by the time the next Min
nesota legislature is adjourned he will
know that they have found the right
way, and that conscience he found by
the aid of a powerful glass will be
brought to quickening sense of right.
He SAYS that men settle in NebraS-
ka. " here land is SIS to $50 per are.
l wonder if he ever thought it was
because the railroad policy of Min
nesota did not allow them any choice
He claims that there is no trouble to
fat steers. here in Minnesota. Just
give them cabbage, ground oats and
oilcake, and then if they do not relish
this food he adds little brown sugar.
He might have added that little salt
pork and potatoes with the above is
the food of the average farmer along
his line of road at present.

Poor "Jeff." Davis, the South's pet
son, received a thrilling ovation at
Montgomery, Ala, on the 2Sth inst.
He was in feeble condition, unable to
deliver a speech, but from the same
spot on which he took the oath as
president Of the confederate states in
1861 he made few remarks to the
throngs of noted Southerners who
had assembled there to listen to him.
Even yet he does not deny his deep
regrets, and styles his Southern home
as the Gland where liberty dies not

If honest butter makers must CON-

will soon come when pure, wholesome

Labor Troubles.

At the request of the congressional
committee by order of the executive
board Of the Knights OF Labor the
strike in S.. Louis was ended May
4th. But as taking grain of sand
from the sea shore or q drop Of water
frem the ocean this action will have
no material effect upon the labor
question, or the consequent general
business depression of the country.
This wise order of the executive
board at St. Louis was no sooner is
sued than we receive news of more
serious and bloody strike at Chicago;
where, on the 3rd inst, 5000 men
lumber showers, planning mill hands
and factory men, inflamed by the har-
argues of anarchists and socialists,
attacked the Mccormick reaper works
and bloody conflict ensued between
the strikers and the police, resulting
in the wounding of twelve of the
strikers. In Washington 200 men
are vi d StIAhCs III DCtioats "ACA's
1000 men employed in the Michigan
Car Company have quit work; and
this is only a small fraction of the
labor troubles throughout the coun-
try.
The reestablishment of peace is
now very uncertain question; and
what the end will be cannot be con-
iectl d. No doubt n some instances
there are existing among the work
ing classes of the large cities untold
miseries. The sight Of starving wives
and children on the one hand land the
luxury that is displayed by their EN-.
ployers on the other act as pierciug
thorn in the flesh of the workingmen
and goads the unreasonable, hothead-
ed portion of their class to acts ofdes-
peration in getting so-called revenge.
That the demand for shorter hours of
labor and more pay is unreasonable
cannot be said, and eastern manufac-
turers and capitalists will not lose by
acceding to them.
But it is cause for regret to the
Knights of Labor and their friends
that the policy Of that organization
and its means for securing remedy
of the grievances of the workingman
are to be rooted out and lost sight of
in the notions of restless men, undrill.
ed in their principles, as in the dem.
onstration at Chicago on Monday.
Later.-The dailies bring news
that on Tuesday bloody conflict
took place between the rioters and
police at Chicago, and score of the
officers and a hest of anarchists were
killed and wounded
