THERE is a singular state of affairs in
New York. A law was passed providing
that prisoners under sentence of death
to be executed by electricity only, after
January first, and stating further that
such executions should befor crimes COM
mitted after that date. Now they have
two convicts under death sentence and
find that they cannot be hung as their
crimes were committed previous to the
first of 1889, and neither can they be
electrified for the same reason. What is
to be done?

The Sank Rapids Sentinel is agitating
the consolidation of the eastern portion
of Stearns and Benton county, and the
formation of a new county out of the
western towns of Stearns. 1t is good
scheme and would be satisfactory ali
round. Certainly, the people of the
counties interested should be given a
chance to vote the Observation-Disclosures
Union.
The editor of the Union is member OF
the legislature representing Benton coun-
ty, and his opinion is entitled to weight.
The sentiment in that direction is grow
ing rapidly throughout all the territory
interested.

During the last two weeks there have
been large number of people in from
the different towns in the county, and
pains have been taken to ascertain their
views on annexing the two counties,
Stearns and Benton, and out of 60 to
whom the question was put, How do
you feel about the union of the two coun-
ties?' 81 expressed themselves in strong
terms as being in favor oft, and the 9th

it, but were inclined to think they would
favor it..

It is the intention of the Sentinel to
give convincing proof very soon that an
Exceedingly large majority OF the people
OF Benton county are in favor OF annex
ing Benton and Stcarns counties, and
that too. as soon as possible. The tax
having people OF the county are emitted

Iii believe they will be deferred from

county are for nnexation.-SentineL.
This is a matter in which Western
Stealns is vitality interested, and all that
!, is needed is concerted action to bring
about a consolidation of Benton and
Stearns, and the erection of new coun-
tv. 1t is a matter w*;ch the HERALD has
been advocating for years, and it now
calls upon the people of Western stearns
to assist it in its efforts. Now is an op-
portunity which may not be neglected.

18th inst, proposing an amendment 20
the state constitution, forever prohibit
ing the sale or manufacture of intoxicat-
ing liquors. Mr.. Hompe is one of the
ablest members of the house and he will
make a good fight for his bill, but we are
decidedly of the opinion that the measure
will not go through this session-Prince,
ton Union.
This is the opinion of a member of the
legislature who seems to be posted. In
fact, there is a pretty general belief about
the capital that no prohib;toev amend
ment will be submitted by the present
legislature. 1t is claimed that high Ii
cense is entitled to at least two years
more of trial, and if 1T fail the Republican
party may be relied upon to present
something more effective.

DEPARTMENT COMMANDER

The highest honor comfortable by the
Grand Army of the Republic within the
state of Minnesota has been awarded
Gov. Barto, and never was an honor
more fttingly or worthily bestowed
Not only has he an honorable military
record, but since the war he has been the
devoted friend of the veteran, and scores
of old comrades will attest their obliga,
material aid. He is active in his devotion
to the order, and in his hands its inter
ests will not suffer.
Not only is it a personal honor to the
governor, but Palmer post has reason to
felicitate itself upon being singled out
from the hundred and fifty Others in the
state to be made practically headquar,
tiers for the order in Minnesota.
Alphonso Barto was born at Hines
burgh, Vermont, May 9th, 1884; was
raised on a farm and educated III the
common schools, but attended B. Is. Al
lens select school at Vergennes, Vermont,
during several terms. He removed to
Elsin, Illinois, in 1855, where he remain
until the war begun. e.
In 1861 he enlisted as private in Co.
K, send Illinois and went into camp at
Geneva September 9th, 1861. On the
10th of November, 1861, he was COM
missioned 2nd lieutenant and in Deem
Der of the same year was commissioned
captain of his company. Hewas muster
ed into the United States service on Octo-
Der 25th, 1861, and served his full three
years. He participated with his regi-
ment in the battles of Donaldson, Shiloh,
Seige of Corinth, Zunn Creek, Iuka, Cor
NTH, Battle of the Hatchie, Bear Creek,
Resaca, Lays Ferry, Dallas, Rome Cross
Roads, Bald Bluff, Kenesaw, Atlanta,
Ionesborough, Lovejoy's Station and
Alatoona Pass.
He was mustered out at Rome, Geor-
gia, on October "a, 1864 and returned to
Elgin, ILL.,, where he was soon elected
treasurer OF his county.
At the expiration of his term of Office
in December, 1869, he removed to Sank,
Centre and began the practice of his pro-
fession, which he has successfully contin-
ned ever since. He was elected as mem
Der of the House of Representatives in
1871 and reelected in 1872, and in 1878
he was elected Lieut.. Governor of the
state
In 1875 he retired to private life and
been an aspirant for no plitical office until
1888, when he was a prominent candl-
date for nomination for Congress in this
district, but was beaten in convention by
his personal friend, =. G. Comstock. He
is an ardent conservative republican IN
politics, always true to his party and its
candidates.
Capt. Barto has been connected with
the Grand Army almost from its incep-
ton. Gen S.A. Hurlbut, then command
er in Chief of the Grand Army of the Re
public came to Elgin at the solicitation
of Gov. Barto in the fall of 1866 and or.
gained a post of which Capt. Barto
was made commander. Soon after his
location at Sank Centre he became char,
ter member of a post organized there and
was a member of that pest until 1t dis
banded. He afterward became one OF
1!le charter members of 3. r. Palmer
post at it's organization and has once
been it's commander and has ever been
one of its most active members.
