bronze statue to U. s Grant and the

The statue was the gift of II. II.

and about fifty miles east to west. t is an

white men are acquainted with the region,
the Indians, however, knowing it thorough

Indians, when once established there, as

scouts that brought information concerning

scouts saw this beef being hauled in Wagons .
and pack trains to the new camp IN the
Bad Lands. Many waggonloads OF -four
and other provisions that had been stolen
from the settlers were also seen headed
for the region of death.

K. c. NJ. G. to the Legislative Council Of
St Christopher Nevis on 18th Deer.

Gentlemen Of the honorable the Legislative
Council:
l greatly regret to have to inform
you of the distress which exists in the Island
of Anguilla, in consequence of the total failure,
OF the provision crop from the long consinued
drought. The public sympathy has been
manifested in the formation Of u Relief Com,
mittee and in liberal private subscriptions
but I fear it is necessary to commence some.
relief works, and [ propose at once to visit
the Island to start such relief works as may
be required.
/ shall have the assistance of Mr.. Morris,
the Assistant Director Of the Royal Gardens.
at Kew, who is nov on a visit to these.
Islands for the purpose OF assisting the:
Colonial Government in developing the culS
tural industries of the Colony, and / propose:
to establish the Fibre industry there if it be:
practicable to do so.
| have to ask for a. vote of Zoo for the,
purpose of defraying the cost of necessary
relief, and care will be- taken that the Govern
ment relief is so administered as to prevent
the recipients becoming pauperized.
/ have the honour to lay before you the
Estimates Of the Revenue and Expenditure
for the year 1891. I fear the present crop
will be a small one in consequence of the
drought, but | trust it may not be SO short
Hb SOu1O hnUlC1PdiO'
The estimated Expenditure presents an
increase in consequence of she further prOvi-
sion made for the relief of the afflicted and
sick and for the promotion of education
The new Lep"r Asylum will be ready for the
reception OF the inmates at the end Of tbls
month and the Sandy Point Hospital at AN
early date. Both institutions are think
credftable to the Presidency and ought to
tend to the alienation of much suffering.
The Government in establishing the Leper>
Asylum have endeavoured to- make the
Institution as pleasant and attractive looking
as tho circumstances permit. There will be-
accommodation for about 100 persons, and
the total cost will be about g2.UOO. I have
in the meantime paid all expenditure out of
tn current Revenue. The annual cost Of
maintenance for the next few years cannot be
estimated at less than $4,000, and if the
whole Of this expenditure is to be met out Of
current revenue, public works which are OF
urgent Importance must be neglected.

OUININE OvERCOATS,

Few people have any Idea of the
amount of quinine that is consumed in a
period of time or of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told by individuals as to the
amount of the alcholoid which they
have consumed, and if it has not been
a quantity sufficient to put them in q
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide comfort
able top coat for winter wear This time
of year overcoats are out of season,
ano ne question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts ofthis
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Ry. as to summer rates to tourists points
in all parts of the country, or for short
fishing excursions. Any special infor-
nation will be cheerfully furnished up
on application to G. M. Pratt, G. 7. & p.
A., Minneapolis.

WE'LL RECEIVED.

The reference in these columns some
days since anent the mayoralty ques-
tion, and the suggestion that COM
mittee Of our best citizens, regardless
of party, wait upon Mr.. ]. A. Willard
at an early date and endeavor to Sc
cure consent to the use of his name,
meets with popular favor. AS never
before, the people realize the great
importance Of having man of bust
ness at the head of our city govern
ment. They seem entirely willing,
also, to temporarily lay aside all par
tisan considerations to assist in push
ing the interests of the city so long
neglected and so sadly visible. Mr..
Willard belongs to no party. He is as
much Republican as Democrat. He
is neither one nor the other. He is
thoroughly independent in his views,
and on this score all could feel per-
fectly confident that his would be
business administration where politics
would have no place and cut no figure.
His reputation abroad is such as would
Immediately give the city popular
standing with him as mayor. At the
head of our city administration Mr..
Willard would be in position to lend
us material aid where he is now prac-
tically powerless. Capital would seek
investment here where it cannot now
be induced to come. Added zeal would
be given to present industries and
other desirable manufactures might
be induced to come with little en-
enlargement.
To very large degree the mayor of
city holds the destiny of his COM
munity in his power, and the charac-
ter, stability, and general worth of the
man selected to hold trust of such
Importance cannot be too carefully
analysed. Action in this matter must
not be delayed. 1t is now almost the
1st of March. Only few weeks re-
main before a successor to Mayor Pau
will be chosen. On good authority in
formation is given that Mr.. Pau will
not again consent to the use of his
name. No name other than that of
Mr.. Willard has thus far been men
toned and will not be if those who so
much desire his services will lend a
little personal action at this time.
Shall it be done or will we remain,
as usual, careless and Indifferent, and
let few pot-house politicians get to-
gether and put up such men as they
chose? The case is in your hands.

THE appropriation for the Mankato
public building has been increased to
100000, mainly through the efforts
of Senator Washburn. This is good
for Mankato, but Washburn oughtn't
to have done it. It's so embarrassing
to Editor Hunt, you know.-Minne-
GpOliS Journal.
The solicitude of Bro. Mclean for
the feelings of Mr.. Hunt is truly af-
fecting; but we assure Mac that Mr..
Hunt can stand embarrassment of
this kind very well. And Senator
Washburn is entitled to credit for his
persistent efforts in securing for Man
kato liberal appropriation for pub
lie building. 1t is not for this kind
of public acts that the Senator is
sometimes criticised. 1t is when he
lends himself to Democrats to defeat
wholesome legislation of national
character that the FREE PRESS OBJ
jects. That's all.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

Lyman Abbott appears to be more
popular than any other preacher at
the Harvard College chapel services
for long time. He has officiated
there fortnight, and there is mark
ed increase in attendance.
Gallant old Governor Porter, of In
diana, Minister to Italy, flinches not
at carrying Goals to Newcastle, and
accordingly, at late meeting of the
British and Annarioun7 Archaeological
Society in Rome, delivered the open
ing lecture on the subject of "Julius
Caeser."
Ex-senator Warner Miller will go
to Nicaragua about the first of the
coming month on the business of the
Nicaragua Canal Company, of which
he is the President at a salary of
1926, 900 year. The length of his alb
sence has not yet been determined,
but it is understood that he will re-
turn home in time to take hand in
the election of delegates to the New
York Republican State Convention.
Philadelphia sends some people to
it's common council who have such an
interest in the city's veal THAT the
charge of Doodle could not well lie
against them. For instance, a new
councilman is Edward de V. .Morrell,
whose wife was the daughter of f. A.
Drexel. Mr.. Morrell has to manage
the income of an estate of $14, 900, 900.
Miss Catharine M. Drexel, who lately
became nun, is the other heiress
whose fortune Mr.. Morrell manages.
The success of the first venture of
the "Society for the Suppression of
Prejudice" as the Lakewood Hotel
Company is called by some, says the
New York Sun, indicates that other
hotels may be started on the same
basis in other health resorts where
prejudice, it is alleged, now excludes
Hebrews. Although less than two
months old, the new hotel is paying
handsome profit, and every week sees
an increase in the number of guests.
Furthermore, the suggestion that i'll
bred persons would make it unpleas-
ant has proved unfounded. Mrs.
cleveland, Comptroller Meyers, DR..
Alfred L. Loomis, and Joseph Kepp-
Ter, of Puck, had their autographs
on the register recently. The build
ing of at least one new hotel will
probably be started in the coming
summer by persons who have closely
watched the venture in Lakewood.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

1t is rumored that the Chicago, Mil

intend building line from Manmto
to St. Paul during the coming SIM

from MankatO by KaSOta, Cleveland,
LeSueur Center and Montgomery to
Pennington; the other is by the way
of Henderson, Benton and ChaSkaI Tt
is probable that the former route will
be chosen if the road is built.-Tari-

The best route by all means wplld
be by way of Kasota, Cleveland and

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26, 81.
Dear Weekly Free Press:
In my estimate of the DAILY FREE
PRESS have been forgetful of your
good qualities and attractive features.
The Daily is well enough; but she is a
giddy young creature, flirts dreadful
ly, and her visits are like
uncertain glory of an April day.
Formerly, when the Daily contain
ing my letters failed to arrive, the de-
lay was compensated for when the
Weekly came to hand, printed on bet
ter paper and looking very nicely. But
a few weeks ago, 1 requested you to be
sent to certain bright-eyed, comely
young ladies at Redwood Falls, in
whom have sort of fatherly inter
est. AS soon as the Daily knew she
was my sole reliance, her visits became
like those of angels-few and far be-
tween. / find that Weekly in the
hand is worth several Dailies in the
bush. With the additions and i'm
provements of your columns, I feel
sure that you areas, in fact, you
have long been-one of the best Week
lies in Minnesota, and / desire to COM
pliment you on your enlarged constit-
uency and increased facilities.

L almost envy you your visits to the
hearths and homes of the farmers of
Southern Minnesota. l think of the
family circles you are privileged to
enter. / can see the family groups on
Saturday night. The Oldest son has
just returned from the city, bringing
the weekly mail. There is a letter
for mother, bearing foreign post
mark, from her long-abSent brother
in Australia. There is another for
sister Mira, whose cheeks. as she re-
ceiyes it, rival the color of it's stamp,
which does not bear a foreign post
mark. There is UNCONVENTIONAL

zine for mother; the Lady's Home
Journal for Dottie; an educational
monthly for Susie: the Scientific
American for Will; the Youths Com

everybody wants it at once) seems to
be the most welcome of all.
