The commencement exercises of our
High school this year were the most
profitable and pleasant in its history.
The baccalaureate sermon delivered by
Rev. ]. F. Hamilton was earnest,
thoughtful and practical. The gradual
ing exercises at the Opera House on Fri
day evening were of very pleasing
character. The stage was very prettily
decorated. Suspended from the centre
was large gilded horseshoe. on which
was the class motto-"Pensum prinum
nobis finit." In the centre of the shoe
was suspended star covered with
green and in the centre "91." On the
center of the stage directly under the
shoe was cone of flowers, sloping each
way across the stage and again rising
on either side. Seated on the stage were
the board of education, the teachers of
the school, the clergy and Others.
At twenty minutes past eight, Prof.
Woodley followed by the class, ten in
number, came on the stage. The exer-.
cises were opened witha piece of music
arranged for the class 81. After PRAYER
by Rev. Lawson, the audience was fav-
ored with vocal solo by Miss Wilson
of Bismark, Dakota. Miss Wilson pos
sesses a very sweet flexible voice and she
rendered her selection, "The three wishes"
in very pleasing manner. Prof Wood
ly then introduced the speaker of the
evening F. o, Holman, D. D. of st.
Paul. He proved to be the right man
in the right place. He gave one of the
finest addresses ever given in this city.
1t was practical and sound. It brought
all face to face with the true purposes of
life. He pointed out many errors. He
suggested very much that was helpful
and encouraging. We should have been
glad to have published the address, but
no copy could be secured. MIR. Holman
is scholarly man and an orator of no
ordinary ability. At the close of the lee
ture the male quartette delighted the
audience with the beautiful piece Com
rades in Arms. Mr.. Norris then stepped
forward and in a very pleasing manner
presented the class with their diplomas.
Mrs. Henshaw and Prof. Woodley closed
the literary program by singing, "The
Night" This selection was we'll rendered
and was much enjoyed by the audience.

AUX CENTRE HERALD.
THURSDAY, JUNE A, 1891.
REVOLUTIONARY.


One of the most astonishing freaks OF
the many astonishing freaks of Stearns
county grand jurors, was the refusal OF
the one in session in st. Cloud last week
to indict Clara Bente for the murder OF
her Legitimate child in this city in jan
uary last. That the gravest OF crimes
known to the statutes of Minnesota had
been committed was undisputed; that
this unfortunate girl did the act for
which she was committed to the county
Jail is admitted by herself-and yet, in the
face of such admission, not only did this
grand jury, sworn to discharge its duty
define to indict or make a presentment,
but majority of the members went to
the Jail after so declining, and congratu-
lated the girl-or sympathized with her
or call it what You please-called upon
her in body and shook hands with her.
The HERALD is not particular as to
terms, but is assured of the facts. Not
only is such departure from sworn duty
a travesty upon justice, but it is revolu-
tionary-a step toward anarchy and
mob law. The principle involved is
identically the same as that which led to
the action of the mob in New Orleans,
which shot down eleven Italians because
the courts could not be relied upon to
give an impartial trial for murder.
Infanticide by mother is heinous
crime-not shade less terrible and
revolving than the cold FLOODED assassi-
nation of an honored officer. The de-
fl Sc, for their remarkable action set up
by the members of the jury, is that the
woman had been betrayed, and that her
grief and shame had so wrought upon
her mind that she was irresponsible.
What evidence had the grand jury that
such was the fact-what legal evidence
even that she is unmarried, and still
stronger, what evidence that she was
insane, or that the act was not deliber-
ately planned and executed in cold
blood? These are questions for the trial
Jury to determine after the closest and
most 1aborious enquiry, and a grand
Jury which assumes to determine them
in advance of such trial furnishes abso-
lutte proof of its defiance of law and its
solemn obligation. Sympathy? Yes, the
public is never lacking ia sympathy for
the wronged and the oppressed, and
will manifest it, often, upon altogether
unworthy objects-as was so notoriously
and scandously the caseafter the arrest,
duringthe trial and since the incarceration
of the red-handed Younger brothers; and
that fact would have secured to Clara
Bente full justice tempered with al
amplitude of mercy.
The writer has full measure of sym
pathy for this poor, deluded girl-nons
whatever for a grand jury which will
deliberately strike such an undermining
blow at the very foundations of justice
In this connection it is fair to say thai
the finding of the jury was not by unani
nous yote-it is understood there wer'
four dissenting voices in the panel o
twenty jurors, and the time is not far dis
tant when every member of that jur,
will wish he were one of the four.

If the late grand jury could hear the

THE Pioneer Pressis out unequiyocally
for c. K. Davis to be his own successor
to the United States Senate. This very
materially strengthens the position of
Mr.. Davis, for there is no denying the
fact that the Pioneer Press is political
power in the republican party. That it
is not always in sympathy with the
most advanced ideas of party policy is
doubtless true, and such being the case
it has not always been of the highest ad-
vantage to the party. But the HERALD
believes that it reflects the sentiment of
the party fully in, its advocacy OF Sena-
tor Davis, and rejoices in the fact.

committee speaksex cathedra upon mat
tiers political. In a recent interview, w.
M. Campbell had this to say relative to
apolitical pilgrimage to the Pacific coast
from which he has just returned: 1t is
clear that the protectionist element of
the Democrats of the slope has disap-
peared, as it has with us, and found no
dissent from the opinion that the tariff
is the issue for the next campaign. They
are all beginning to see out there that if
they hope to realize on their magnificent
natural opportunities they must reduce
the barriers of trade to the minimum.
II. that isn't absolute free trade doctrine,
pray what is it? If the democrats are
prepared to fight the campaign of 1892
upon that issue the republicans need not
shrink fromit.
