FORTUNATE is he who to. dav can show
one of the famous BOG medals. The
guard which was defeated but never sur
rendered in Chicago, in the great fight
between Grant and Blame, to the num-
Der of 300 stood together then and have
ever since. They have passed through
the valley of humiliation, but now stand
upon the mountain crest of acceptable

how in the end sturdy devotion to a
cause, or chief, invariably triumphs. =

was ordered by the city council to leave
at once. He packed his tent just in sea-

JUDGE TULEY stated the facts in the
case Friday pretty correctly in hi
decision admitting Alexander Sullivan
to bail. There will certainly have to bt

GEN. MARK ID. FLOWER was Thursday
appointed inspector of steam vessels for
the district including Minnesota and
parts of Iowa and Wisconsin. The PiO-
neer Press says the appointment was not,
as some have alleged, the result of Sem
tor Davis work. 1t SAYS:
"Davis Endorsed Sabin's friend, Young
of Saltwater, who was an eager candi-
date for the place. There we're num-
Der of other candidates from all parts of
the district, including Freany of st.
Paul. Flower was endorsed by Senator
Washburn and Representatives Snider
and Comstock, but the appointment
was largely the personal act ofsecretary
Window"
Yes, there is no doubt 1t was Secre-
tary WINDOWS personal act" the
same as the majority of the appoint
ments for this state have been. Senator
Davis does not, from all appearances,
have any great amount ofinfiuence with
the present administration, at least in
matters which conflict the personal
desires of Secretary Window. 1t is of
course well known that Messrs Davis
and Window have not been on init
mate terms politically for several years
past, but it was supposed from the pref
ty promises made by Mr.. Window in
his speech to the Minnesota folks early
last spring, that Mr.. Davis in his capac-
ity as u. s. Senator from the leading
Northwestern state would have some
weight in matters connected with Min
nesota offices. But it is becoming quite
clear that the Secretary has forgotten
the assurances he made at that time and
instead of pursuing course that would
unite the various. elements of the party
in this state, and heal the differences, is
simply taking advantage of his FORUM
ate accession to power to take care OF
his personal friends" and possibly
to punish those whom he imagines have
not been perfectly loyal to him in years
gone by. Not very high-minded mo-
tiyes, to be sure, but such as are very
apt to crop out in poor human nature,
So, Judging from all these things, Hon,
Eugene Hay is pretty likely to become
u. S. District Attorney, and Mr.. Win
dom's other friends get the positions
| they are after.

The nobility Of Europe spurn the
notion that they and the middle classes

They are special creations. while the
multitude are made by wholesale and

American Manufacturers ClAmorin< fev =
Revision of the Tariff
Some months ago the largest iron and
steel manufacturing concerns in New
England prepared . petition 70 Congress
requesting that body TO reduce tariff
taxation, and as far as possible repeal
the taxes on the raw materials enter
ing into their manufacturing processes.
The petitioners were headed by Hon.
Oliver Ames, the Republican Governor
Of Massachusetts, and among their NUM-
Der were many Of the most substantial
Republicans Of New England. The
petition had weight with the Massa-
chusetts State conventions OF both
parties, and was recognized in both
platforms. The Democratic platform
affirmed:
We give our hearty support 70 the petition of
the present Republican Governor Of this State
and other leading iron and steel manufacturers
OF both political parties addressed 10 the New
England members OF Congress- asking for free
coal and iron ore and lower duties upon pig
iron. and We commend their efforts 10 save this
important industry threatened with extinction
In our section Of the country through failure 20
adopt tarin duties - the changed conditions OF
the iron market.
The Republican platform was less cx-
plicit in language, but was as distinct
recognition OF the weight Of the pcti-
ton. declaring:
/ To our Senators and Representatives in Con-
gre~s we would say that the Republicans Of
Massachusetts look 10 them TO defend sound
currency and resist an ncre.s Of the present
silver coinage 70 use every exerton 70 bring
about a reduction OF the surplus revenue: to

with those OF the rest OF the country. etc

been taken up by the wooden manufact-
urers Of New England and New York.

ing Congress either 70 reduce or repeal
the taxes on wool. The Wool Reporter.
