s. If the Globe Almanac is deserving place
in every business establishment, certainly
household should not be without one. The
postal information it contains is marvellous
in it's cearnees of detail. Domestic rates of
postage, the definition of first, second, third
and fourth-class matter, registration, money
orders, postal notes, letter-sheet envelopes,
stamped envelopes, free delivery, are indi-
vidually treated--and treated, too in style
which the most obtuse individual cannot fail
to understand Foreign postage and the
countries not OF the universal postal
union receive a due amount of at

1t is always convenient for the intelligent
man and woman of today to be enabled to re-
fresh their memories upon the composition
of the presidents cabinet the federal judi
ciary. the federal army, the Fifty-second con-
gress, To do this they need merely refer to
the Globe Almanac, where, under the head
ing of Federal government, there is also
list of presidents, vice presidents. speaker: o :
the house, and justices of the supreme court.
The last presidential vote by states, and the
electoral vote for president from 1868 to 1888,
the state and territorial governments the
Democratic and Republican national COM
mittees, and the history Of tariff legislation
are enlarged upon.
The Minnesota department of the Globe
Almanac contains matter not hitherto ac-
cessible to the general reader. The official
records of the state have been ransacked
away back to the dark years of Is, when the
nation was in the throes Of a big and bloody
war. From thence down to the end of 1890,
everything of public importance has been
seized upon and set forth in the most enter
tanning form. The characteristics of
Minnesota are given-its geography, area,
ETC., etc. An historical resume is
a yeritabie multum in parvo. The presi-
dents and speakers of the territorial legisla-
lures, the members Of the first territorial leg
isature the trainers of the constitution and
the members of the first state legislature are
to be found here. The state officers, United
States senators, congressman, presidential
vote and vote for governor will turn the head
of the budding politicians wild with delight,
while the old seasoned wheel horses of either
political party will ponder over the vote by
counties for governor in 1890 compared with
that of 1888, and the votes by counties
in 1890 for all the state officers, the vote for
congressman and the vote for state senators
and representatives. The state platforms of
the four political parties are reproduced and
a full list of state officers, county officers
Judges of the supreme and district courts,
officers and managers of state institutions,
officials of the senate and house of..represent-
atives The members of the governor mill
tary staff are not forgotten, neither are the
officers and companies of the First Second,
and Third regiments and the mounted
troops. The population by counties and
cities is furnished in addition to the areas of
counies-land and water-taxes collected
and the number Of horses and cattle.
Local sportsmen and fishermen will find
the only condensed statement of the game
and fish laws of Minnesota in the Globe
Almanac. The open and close seasons are
gwen, and mere valuable still the special
laws governing the catching of fish in the
counties.
st. Paul and Minneapolis officers and
boards of aldermen make up a separate de-
partment, and in connection herewith are
comparative tables showing, by districts and
wards, the votes cast for candidates for gov
