KIII'EL HALVORSEN.
The Sturdy Winner Of the Triangular
Congressional Fight in the
... Fifth District
A Visit to the New Congressman Elect
. 81 ut His Farm Home Near
Belgrade.

Among the many surprises Of the last
election none were greater than the result
of the congressional campaign in the Fifth
district of Minnesota. There were three
candidates in the field, s. G. Comstock of
Moorhead the Republican and former rep
resentative, who sought reelection; A. J.
Whiteman of Duluth, the Democratic can
dldate, aud Kittel Halvorsen of North Fork,
Stearns county, the nominee of the Alliance
and Prohibition parties. Prior to the day
of election it was the general opinion that
the contest lay between the Republican and
the Democratic candidates, and very few
had any idea that Kittel Halvorsen would
cut afigure in.the election, beyond helping
TO elect A. ]. Whiteman. E

such a noble forest tree as Kiftel
Halvorsen should ever be transpianted from
his natural surroundings to the eueryating
hot-house air Of Washington. That he will
make a congressman OF whom Minnesota
or any other state need not be ashamed,
people may rest assured; and that his recti-
tude and sagacity will bring him safely
through the quagmires and pitfalls OF CAPT
tol politics, may also be believed; but ior
his own sake, for the sake of his home life
and home com ort which must be offered
as a sacrifice, Kittel Halvorsen's call TO
public life cannot but cause his friends the
same feeling of regret with which one sees
friend depart upon a.. long and toilsone

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Its Use by the Department. Terms De-
sirable Upon Proper.

The use of the telegraph by the postoffice de-
partment as means for the rapid transmission
of written communications is, believe, upon
proper terms quite desirable. The government
does not own or operate the railroads and it
should not, think own or operate the tee.
graph lines. 1t does however, seem to be quite
practicable for the government to contract with
the telegraph companies, as it does with the
railroad companies. to carry at specified rates
such communications as the senders may des-
ignate for this method OF transmission. I rec
will enable the postoffice department fairly to
test by experiment the advantages of such use
of the telegraph. a-~..s

UNADJUSTED LAND GRANTS.
a Commission for the Trial of Questions
of Title Needed.

The subject OF the unadiusted Spanish and
Mexican land grants and the urgent necessity
or providing some commission or tribunal for
the trial OF questions of title growing out of
them were twice brought by me to the attention
of congress at the last session. Bills have been
reported from the proper committees in both
houses upon the subject, and l very earnestly
hope that this congress will put an end to the
delay which has attended the settlemene OF the
disputes as to title between the settlers and the
claimants under these grants, These disputes
retard the prosperity and disturb the peace Of
large and Important communities. The gov
ernor of New Mexico, i'll his last report to the
secretary of the interior, suggests some moditi-

NATIONAL FLowRR.-No one can help being in some measure partisan. Our characters and daily pursuits inevitably in. fuence our decisions. A group of, farm. CTS were sitting about in Capt. Mofse's store, discussing the events of the day.
 The mail had just come in, and, as Capt. Morse was postmaster as well as store. keeper, there was a great unfurling of pa. pers, and much comment on the public s'situation."
 "Well, Morse, what do you think of all this talk about national flower ?''~ asked one.

4 TRICK OF THE TRADE.

There is cruel story in circulation con. corning certain teacher in one of the pub lie schools of Washington who has been highly complimented because of the suc- cess attending the examination of her pu- pills. It was noticed that her class of boys seemed to be able to solve all the prob lems. When question: was asked, every boys hands in the class was raised. The principal of the school was putting the questions and the teacher would call on pupil to make the answer. Although more than score of questions were asked, in DO instance was an improper answer given.
 The principal was so pleased at the re- suit that he made special mention of Miss Dash's proficiency as teacher in each oi the class rooms that he visited. Probably envy was caused by the fact that in no other class room did the pupils seem to be as well up in their studies. One of the teachers, whose pupils did not acquit themselves very creilitably, made an in vestigation, and by Q jddicious use of candy succeeded in gaining the confidence of one of the boys under Miss Dash's care
 "Now, Johnny" said she, .'how is it that all you boys know the answers ?'''
 eve don't all know,' said Johnny, munching caramel. !.
 "Bnt you all pnt up your hands as if you did"
 "Miss Dash tells us to put up onr hand when the question is asked. We boys who don't know the answer put mp our left hands and the boys who know the an. swer put mp their right hands, and then Miss Dash only asks the boys who have 3 right hand up."

LOCAL roPICs-PEsS,D AND sClssoRED

The young man drowned at Dayton, Ohio, on the 31st ult., was not son or relative of Wm. Sumner, Esq, as publish ed last week, but nephew (Charles Solo, mon) of his brother, Dr. B. G. Sumner, of Mansfield. The Willimantic Journal says {:
 "Young Solomon was bathing in the Mi ami river just above the dam. With 8 number of boys he was on float or a raft out in the middle of the stream. The boys were playing, and the float tipped up on one side. Charles fell of, and as he was falling he grabbed one of his com panions around the waist, but did not suc- ceed in holding on, and sank to the bot tom, and, strange to say, did not come up again. One of the boys, much smaller and younger than Charles, made dive for him, and caught him by the hair after he had sunk to the bottom, but could not hold on to him. The body was found about o'clock in the evening. Young Solomon had many acquaintances here and in Mansfield, as he had spent his vacations at Dr. Summers residence for number of years, and they are grieved at his untimely end. He was 17 years of age, and boy of great promise. He cared more for the society of older people than for the com panionship of boys of his own age. His last visit east was in the presidential cam- paign year of 1888. He took deep in terest in politics, was staunch young re- publican, and the amount of political in formation he had acquired and the readi- ness with which he expressed himself on the political situation was remarkable in one so young. The Journal had the pleas ure of printing several communications from his pen in which he gave democrats and prohibitionists lively shaking up, and offered no end of nuts for them to crack. The country can lilly spare young man of his capacity and outlook. Charles was to have spent his vacation east this season, and in September to have entered Cornell University at Ithica, N. Y. He was an only child of B. B. Solomon, of Dayton. His mother was Miss Sarah Hinckley, of Mansfield Center, a sister of Mrs. Dr. Sumner. She was married and went to Dayton in 1872, and is lady well known and much respected. She has the sympathy of large number of friends in this time of great bereavement"

q remember one old lady, so distinctly. Her two sons had gone; one died in the streets of Baltimore, the other by the Gen. nesee. Her last, the youngest, only g boy when he enlisted. He never left the field of Shiloh. When they told her he was dead, she answered: He gave, and He has taken away!' And she took mp the burden of life. There was no complaint, no murmurl Only the lines in her face grew deeper, the step more tottering, and in little while the poor worn hands were folded forever. It was another life offered up to liberty-and that the life of a wo- man. But she died 8 harder death than the boy that fell at Shiloh. Better one pang, one throb, and snap the cord of life forever, than waste through weary days waiting the inevitable hour. When the Emperor Nero ordered Poetus to death, his wife, Octavia, snatched the dagger from the tyrant's hand, and driving it to her heart exclaimed, 1t is not hard to die ' And the world, looking at that woman thro' the dim light of 20 centuries age, says Sub lime! When D. Aguesseau was ordered to the scaffold his wife said to him, Go! forget you have 8 wife to ruin Remem- Der only you have France tn save And the world bows reverently as it looks at that woman. All over your land were tens of thousands of women who dared more than Octavia, endured more than the wife of D' Aguesseau. If wished to parallel their attitude would go to Socrates drink ing the hemlock, and place the Greek and the American women side by side. They drank the cup of misery to the dregs."
 The close was brief comparison be- tween the wars of history and the war for the union, showing how little Cesar or Alexander benefited the world, ending as follows:
 Napoleon ! let me pause for moment here; for I would not place careless fin gers on this strange, mysterious man, around whose name there hangs halo, which deepens with the flood of years. But the great Corsican, who sleeps by the Seine, never led an army whose mission meant liberty to the slave. Go to him at St. Helena, lonely exile, eating his own heart.' Ask him what act throughout his wondrous life ever made mankind the bet ter. There would never be an answer. Turn from them all to the American sol dier. What was his work? He found the red flag of revolt flying from every ca- thedral in the south. He gave you back the old flag, not star erased. He found nation on the verge of ruin he made it the foremost in the world. They say of Bacon as he looks down the ages he can place one hand on the telegraph and the | other on the steam engine, and as he sees the advance of the nineteenth century he can say, That work was mine! For I taught you to study nature.' So in tke far away future, see the American volun- teer, colossal, sublime. I see him look back to our people from ocean to ocean to one nation, the hope of the civilized world; to a land with stainless flag broken chains under it's folds. And hear him say, That work was mine F"

Hartford Post There is raid upon the ''great American hog" which is even more potent than any laid which Bismarck made upon that interesting specimen. This is not an affair of the harmless porcine, or his pro- duct, however, but an attempt to rid the pub lie of that personality on two feet that infests all public places and by his manners stamps himself as a .shog, Tin the sense which the term implies when fastened to an alleged hu- man who makes nuisance of himself. The man who sits in three seats in a horse car, whose tobacco habits are, filthy and unendur- able, and whose general behavior is better adapted to the pen than to the public convey ance, is the "American hog" referred to, and the press of the land is on his trail with vengeance in its eye. He must learn to pull in his feet, condense his area and behave him. self, or bear the mark of the swine upon his forehead.
