A National Shame.

A certaln thing shanes tho nation. It is the direct connection of our Vice-Prcsident with the liquor traffic. It is the longest step backward any of our leading men have taken for many years, and is outspoken con tempt for the religious and temper ancc sentiment of the whole country
 and the temperance and religious people compose by far the great ma- jority of men and women in the Union. Petition, exhortation, de- nunciation all combined have made no impression on MT. Morton's mind. His Shoreham house yields him inn mense profits, and part of these profits are derived from the liquor de- partment. We use the commercial term department" because the Shoreham has no bar, but simply a place devoted to uor-drinking. The drinking man, especially gen tleman of leisure, doubtless prefers the easy chairs of Mir. Morton's S apartment house to standing in a saloon surrounded by promiscuous crowd. For all practical purposes the apartment table is as good as a bar. The liquors and all necessary bar fixtures are there. The customer pays his money, takes his choice, and has his own time. And all this fur nished under regular retail liquor license, the petition for which is prop erly signed by Levi P. North, Vice President of the United States. This is national shame and now comes the news that at the New York re- ception given at the Morton resi- dence, wine was abundant and flowed freely, and several young men went home drunk. These young men be- longed to the best { } Washington society, and got drunk on Vice-Pres. ident Morton's wine. They went home drunk from a social entertain ment given by the Vice-President of the United States. This is the sec ond chapter of the national shame.

bird is misnomer. It is not bald, but simply white headed, the feaih- CTS on the head and neck of adult specimens being snowy white.
 The honor of first naming this bird as the emblem of the United States belongs to John J. Audubon, i the naturalist, whose name will be forever associated with our bird-life. He called the bald eagle the Wash ington eagle, because, he said ', Washington was as brave as the eagle is. Like it, too, he was the terror of his enemies, and his fame, extending from pole to pole, resem- bles the majestic soarings of the mighticst of the feathcred tribe. If America has reason to he proud of her Washington, so has she to be proud of her great eagle.
 The bald eagle, with wings cx- tended, or displayed proper as it is called in heraldry, was made the emblem of the United States in the year l7s5.
 Benjamin Franklin did not ap. prove the choice. The bald-eagle, he declared was very evil-disposed bird, who would not earn an honest living, but got his livelihood by vio- lence and deceit. He did not con- slider such creature q worthy cm- blem of people who had valiautly driven out of their country all kingly birds of prey.
 Franklin's critical judgment did not prevail. It is true, as he ,lc- clared, that the bald eagle lives chiefly by violence and theft, swoop- ing down upon the osprey, and snatching from this industrious bird the fish he has just caught. But the eagle can, on occasion, take fish out of the water with great skill.
 The eagle is, moreover, a bird of dignity as well as of bravery and beauty, and it's strong attachment to it's young and to its home certainly recommends it as an American cm- hlem. - Youths Companion.

The American Eagle.

It has been proposed lately to or nament the tip of the fagstaffs used in the regular army of the United States with representation in metal of the bald eagle, which is the em- blem of our republic. The staffs of regimental standards now terminate with pike. The eagle has already done duty in this way upon the standard of other nations, and par ticularly upon those of Rome and France. The American eagle, how ever, is of a different variety from the eagles of France and the Roman Republic. 1t is an American vare- ty--the bald" or white-headcd eagle The ordinary name of the

How to Build up a Town.

The Times-Register, of Salem, Va. makes the following wise suggestions as the best way to make prosperous town:
 Talk about it.
 Write about it..
 Help to improve it.
 Beautify the streets.
 Patronize its merchants.
 Advertise literally in it's paper.
 Pay your taxes without grumbling. All pull together to build it up. Be courteous to strangers that come among you.
 Never let an opportunity to speak a good word obout it pass.
 Remember that every dollar you invest in permanent improvements is that much money at interest.
 Don't "kick" against any pro- posed necessary improvement be- cause it is not near your own door, or for fear your taxes will be raised lj cents.

THE CROWlERS,

lou can hear them every morning, Every noon and every night, Criticising other people For not doing things just right. Churchmen scorn both plays ond players: Churls, the men polite disdain: Lawyers tell just what the papers should and never should contain. Soit gocS-cach mans a critic When he's from his task released, And he talks with greatest wisdom Where his knowledge is the least.

State Fair Advertising.

Some of our contemporaries refuse
to advertise for the State Fair be-
cause they are not paid for it, while
others raise the objection that it
draws the people and the money
away from our own towns. With
regard to the first objection we would
say the state has expended large
amounts of money in trying to make
a success of it, and are not able to
pay for advertising. With reference
to the second objection we say. we
acknowledge the fact, but our silence
would not keep them at home;
neither ought they to stay at home.
If we stay away from all such attrac-
tions we might rs well get a chinese
wall built around Us. This is not
the age or country for such seclusion.
The State Fair is gotten up for the
benefit Of the whole state, and it is q

MORRIS BRICK
TO THE FRONT.
SUCCESS ACHIEVED:

After all the wrangling between
the committee on Court House anu
City Hall OF Minneapolis the Norris
brick has stepped in and carried off
the award. Mr.. Moss of the firm of
IIaglen & Moss, Contractors, was
here last week examining our brick
yard. he wants 100000 of them for
Duluth, he brought few OF them
down to Minneapolis and laid them
before the building committee of
council who soon decided by Il vote
of 6 to to use Morris brick instead
of stone. This change will save the
city $40. 900 in the building, and the
assurance that they will wear Us long
as granite.
The Brick Yard Company is to be
congratulated on this achievement,
we don't just know how many
hundred thousand will be wanted for
this one job, but more than they will
be able to make within year.
If the spur that was spoken of was
built to the yard we would see bee
hive out there that would astonish
the natives.
We repeat what we have said be.
fore, that there is an lnexhaustable
supply of clay, aud there is no such
clay in Minnesota or west of It,.
The brick presented to the above
went through IL crucial
test before being accepted, and came
out victorious.
