The Gra,,d Army att1,e Carnival

Last Friday was Grand Army day in
St. Paul, and we doubt whether the
sanity city has ever seen such an out.
porting of old veterans as marched a.
gainst the ice kings citadel last Friday.
Large delegations were present from
Minneapolis, Saltwater, Hastings.
Pennington, Mortified, Anoka and
White Bear, while nearly every Grand
Army post in the State was represent
ed by one or more delegates. The St.
Paul veterans, of course, were out to
man. In the afternoon there was a
grand procession of Grand Army men,
State militia and carnival clubs. In
the evening the Grand Army assembled
at Carnival Hall and each member was
supplied with torch and a haversack
containing five roman candles. After
being thus equipped the procession
moved through some Of the principal
streets to the ice palace grounds, where
king Borealis and his followers await
ed the boys in blue. The attack on his
majesty's palace was began with vol.
ley Of musketry by Capt. Beams com.
pany, which was the signal for a gener-
al attack. In an instant the air was
filed with red, green, blue and white
fire balls, and the din and confusion be-
came deafening. Huge batteries and
mines had been placed on the highest
walls of the ice castle and as each was
fred the crowds would join in tremend-
Gus applause. Finally the boys in
blue made gallant charge, captured
the castle and made the kings forces
prisoners of war. When the stars and
stripes we're run up the bands struck
up patriotic airs and the crowd cheer
ed. Capt. Beams company, acting
as guard ofhonor, then escorted the
victorious veterans back to Car
nival Hall, where the evening was
spent with speech making. music, song
and social intercourse. The city dailies
estimate the number of visitors in
ST. Paul on Friday at 10000, and, judg-
ing by the crowds that lined both sides
of the streets through which the pro-
cession passed, the estimate was none
too high. Although falling into the
hands of the enemy, Borealis has rea-
sons to feel grateful to the G. A. R., be-
ing, as they were, the means of bring
ing many quarter into his cashbox,
though themselves dead-headers. Grand
! Army day at the carnival will long be
remembered by ali participants.

State Farmers alliance.

The Minnesota State Farmers Ali
ance meets in annual session at the
State university on Wednesday, Febru-
airy "a, at 10 o'clock a. NJ, and con-
tinues in session for several days. In
issuing the call for the meeting the
president of the alliance says:
"We would first impress upon you
the fact that through your organization
and concerted action has come all the
advantages you have reaped from re-
cent legislation. Before you began to
exert your influence upon the legisla-
ton of the state you were deprived of
all commercial rights in disposing of
the products of your farms. You were
hopelessly Disseminated against by
every railroad in the state, and at law
or in courts you had no redress. Now,
by reason Of your organization and eff
forts, a great change has come. Com
petition with monopolies is possible and
easy in many parts of the state the
.sflat warehouse creature of your
present law-has driven monopoly's
agents from their midst and added to
the profit Of the surrounding farmers.
Railroad determinations have been
made in law-what they always were
IN fact-a crime, and their extortions
have been much modified, though not
yet satisfactorily regulated. You are.
no longer without redress against the
dishonest and unscrupulous weighing
and grading of yonr wheat. Notwith-
standing all these advantages our rail
road and warehouse laws are yet de-
fectiVe in several points, and this fact
renders the continuance and strength
ening Of the alliance in this state an
Imperative necessity. Outside Of the
law you have also realized many Of the
advantages Of organization, and taken
altogether, your have everything to in
splre you to greater effort in che fu.

Must Stand by His Party.
1Memphis Appeal.1

A non-partisan administration
in an elective government is an ut
ter impossibility. No President of
the United States can carry out
wise measures who fails to consult
with his party friends, and espe-
cially the Congressional leaders, on
whom he will be forced to lean in
the hour of debate and partisan
conflict. President Tyler under
took to adopt a policy of his own
and was forced to throw himself in
the arms of the Democratic party,
which had no sympathy with him,
as it had not been consulted as to
the policy of the issues which had
been unexpectedly precipitated.
The result was, President Tyler for
four years stood between two fires
and received the kicks and curses
of both parties. President Johnson
acted on his own hook, adopted
my policy" without consultation,
and his administration was a fail
ure, barely escaping impeachment.

Get Thee to "a Eaennery.

The Electoral Commission of
1876, celebrated in verse and story,
is now destined to live also in the
pictorial history of the United
States. Soon after the fraud was
consummated, Mrs. Eassett, a
Washington artist, transferred the
intellectual features Of the commits
sioners to canvas, giving to Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike an ex-
preston of supreme contentment
with the whole proceedings.
The Democratic side of the
House very naturally obje9ed to
the purchase of such a work of art
by the government, primarily be-
cause it only perpetuated unsavory
memories and also because it was
not worth the $4,000 asked.
But time, which softens all ami
mosities and subdues all tints, has
created q reaction in. favor of the
artist, who, after all, was in no way
responsible for the fraud and, I'M
der the advice of the gallant Sena-
tor VOORHEES,, the joint committee
to the house on the library has vot-
ed to pay $500 for the picture,
and that amount has been accepted.
Just what to do with the paint
ing is aproblem hat now confronts
the government. The Star has only
one suggestion to make: Send it
to Mr.. Rutherford B. Hayes, and if
his modest Fremont home is not
big enough to hold it, let him do
with it as the Vicar of Wakefield
did with his great family group
make a wall for his hennery of it;
and where the peaceful cochin-chi-
mas roost and the prolific brahmas
lay their eggs, there let the angry
chiaro-obscuro of the past fade into
the soft monotone of Democratic
supremacy.

deciding the case in favor of the
Telegraph, Judge Hume held that a
newspaper to make legal an adver-
tisement placed therein must have
a circulation to bona fde subscrib-
ers. Circulating in a section of the
county, with an occasional extra is
sue of sample copies, sent to differ
emit post-offices for distribution, or
a dead-head list will not answer
the purpose.
The Butler County Democrat in
commenting onthis decision says :
"The decision may. be the. .occa-
sion Of severaDlaw suits, which will
entail a large expenditure of money,
for it is a notorious fact that a con-
siderable amount of legal advertis-
ing done, except sheriffs sales, has
been peddled about, and inserted
where the rates could be obtained
without any consideration whatev-
er as to the legality of work.
It will continue until such time
as a contest of the matter is had
and then the f~allacy of the practice
will be advertised"

Judge Hume, of Butler county,
who is one of Ohio's leading jur-
lists, has just rendered a decision
which will be of interest in every
county in the State. Some of the
officials of that county took of
tense at the criticisms of the Ham
ilton Telegraph, the Republican
organ of Butler county, and
sought to punish the editor by talk
ing away from him his share of the
public advertising. To do this it
was necessary to place the adver-

The Iowa Legislature has passed
a law providinga penalty forarunk-
enness which is rather novels The
penalty increases with each offense
from a merely nominal fine up to
a fine of $500 and imprisonment in
the penitentiary. The law is so
drawn that the court has no discre-
ton in passing judgement. The
court simply finds how often the
defendant has been drunk and then
looks at the schedule for the
amount of punishment to be in
llicted. The Hawkeyes are legislat-

AT the last Presidential election
the Democrats carried twenty of
thirty-eight States by a plurality
of $4,000 in a popular vote of over
100000. Twenty-Five States, or
three-fifths of the entire people,
now have a majority of forty-three
