THE @. A. r.

The semi-annual encampment of the
department of Minnesota, q. A. R., will
be held at Litchfeld on June II, Is and
10. In his general orders calling this
encampment Commander Barto says:
The department commander desires to con-
graduate the comrades of the department of
Minnesota upon the healthy growth OF the Or
der In the state as evidenced BY the reports for
the first quarter. When we come to consider
that the death rate of the veterans of a quarter
of a century ago is naturally increasing rapid
~; that our gains exceed our losses by Ill dur
ing the three months is encouraging There
have been 1876 new recruits mustered during
the quarter, and two new posts are to be insti.
tuted within few days, we commend the
their quarterly reports The officers OF a few
posts, however, by their unaccountable tardi-
ness, retard and embarrass the assistant ad1u-
tant-general in making his returns, and rem
der this department liable to reprimand from
national headquarters. Post commanders are
earnestly requested to see that returns are
promptly made, and that they be made cor
rectly in the first instance, so that 1t may not
be necessary to return them to the posts for
corrections.
1t is expected that 10000 people from
abroad will attend the encampment of
the southern Minnesota G. A. II. associ-
alton. Gov. Merriam and staff, Com
mander Barto and other leading men of
the state will be there, including, among
the II. a. IL. comfaGes, sucn men as
Archbishop Ireland, ex-Goy. McGill,
Judge Rea, Sheriff Eye, Hon. L. L.
Wheelock, Mavor Babb, Hon. M. III.
Dunnell, Gen. Becker, Col. William
Thomas, Rev. +. r. Lathrop, chaplain
of the senate, Hon. j. A. Leonard and
others. The president of the association
is the present department chaplain, who
is now serving his third term, which fact
alone is adequate evidence that there is

THE fight between the Republican cam
didates for senator in New Hampshire
is becoming heated rs the time approach
es and the chances for the defeat of
Chandler increase. Democrats general
ly will be glad to see him left out, as
they regard him as one of the Doodle
stripe.-Globe.
Now, why didn't you tell the square
truth about this matter Of Democratic
dislike of Senator Chandler? Everybody
knows that the New Hampshire man
has gwen the old hulk of Democracy so
many caustic rakings DER that he is cor
daily disliked by all members of that
party. They hate him so much that
they lie about HIM every chance they
have. But the Globe don't want to be too
sure about Chandler's defeat. He is
one that doesn't often get left.

THE New York Press last Sunday had
letters from large number of promI-
nent Democratic editors giving their
views as to whom the Democrats will
nominate in 1892. The majority of the
more influential newspapers stick to
Cleveland, though of course everyone
knows they would desert him in min
ute if another accident" should come
in view. The st. Paul Globe appears to
lean toward Hill, but Editor Baker
says he should as socn think of predict
ing what portion of his house should be
struck by lightning this summer, eff
struck at ALL" as to venture a prediction
on the other subject, we take it that
Mr.. Baker has lurking idea that Dem
ocracy won't be called upon to nominate
any candidate.

IT Is every where recognized that
good crops this year is the one thing
needful to start wave of prosperity
that will sweep over the entire country.
1t is therefore pleasing to note that the
government crop report for this month
records an improvement where the re-
verse was looked for. 1t is generally
understood the report does not take cog
nizance of changes since the close OF
April, and about all the ram fail in the
West occurred last week. The natural
conclusion ID, that if the crops promised
we'll ten days ago they certainly do 80
now, and that fears for the coming har-
vest may be dismissed, at least till later
date in the season.

THE Georgia colored man who COM
planned before the interstate COM
merce commission against the railroad
company which made him ride in the
"nigger's car" has won his case again.
The commission says:
tits the lawful duty that carrier like
the defendant owes to the travelling pub
lie in carrying out its rule of furnishing
separate cars to white and-colored pas
sengers on its line, engaged in inter-
state travel, to make them equal in COM
fort, accommodation and equipment
without any discrimination, and to af-
ford equal protection of law alike to all
such passengers without regard to race,
color or sex, against undue prejudice OF
disadvantage from disorderly conduct
ON the part of other passengers or per.
sons. On the facts In the proceedings
II is held that defendant violated the
law in each of the foregoing respects Of
against the petitioner.
This is the third time the complainant
has won his case. 1t naturally arises

SUNDAY was George w. Childs' birth
day, and on SATURDAY. all the members
of the printers union east of the Missis-
sippi set up a thousand ems. This is in
accordance with custom which has
been formed by which on each anniver-
sary of Mr.. Childs' birth every printer
east of the Mississippi river donates the
proceeds from the setting up of 1000
ems of type to the Childs-Drexel fund.
Those west of the Mississippi do the
same on the anniversary of Mr.. A. j.
Drexel's birth. The fund will some
time in the future be used in the estab.
lishment of some lasting monument to
the gentlemen named probably IN the
erection of home for INDECENT and aged
printers.

The man who was convicted of murder
by an Ohio jury on the strength of the
Tipping of penny is to have new trial.
The jury was unable to agree on the evil
dence, but settled it among themselves
that heads should be guilty and tails
mot guilty." Heads won and they
were ready to hang the man on the
strength of that chance. This story
seems almost too improbable to be true,
but it is actually so, as the supreme court
has just reversed the action and given
the convicted man a new trial. The in
cIdent we'll shows what amount of intel
ligence and appreciation of justice some
times gets together in jury.

THE supreme court has just decided
a case which will save any Mankato cit,
izen the trouble of resisting the street
sprlnkling assessments under the new
charter. The court settled the we'll
known st. Paul case Monday. 1t was an
application by the city treasurer fol
judgment against dellnquents on assess
ments for street sprinkling. The case
has excited considerable interest, and
was tried before Judge Kerr, and the
application granted. The constitutional
ity of the assessment has been affirmed
by the Supreme Court.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has fixed up a
civil service commission that will be en-
inently satisfactory to the country, and
its composition would seem to mean
more for real reform than any of its pre-
decessors. AS 1t was the work of Re-
publican president of course it is not ex-
pected to suit the Mugwumps, though
it is difficult to predict what the nature
of their objections will be. That they
will manufacture them, however, nc
one doubts.

IT appears that Minnesota will have
to do without any official crop statistics
this year on account of the failure of the
legislature to provide for the printing of
the blanks on which the returns are
made. 1t would seem that a mistake

measure of economy.

WE have published number of state
ments regarding the collapse of the CAL
ifornia land boom which were doubtless
reliable accounts of the situation. But
while the "corner lots'' may be demon
allied, the crops of the Golden State
promise to be great bonanza this sea-
son. The rains has been seasonable and
the value of the fruit crop in the state is
estimated at S24,0OO,0O0, of which fresh
and dried fruits amount TO S6,5OO,OO0
each. The wheat crop IS estimated at
20 600 900 bushels, worth $4,000, 600;

wool, $6,OOO,0O0; dairy products, 81 $780,
600; wine, 100000. The total of all
products, not including manufactures,
amounts to S1S5, 100000, which is more
money than was ever realized in a year

ty good state yet, it seems.
