An attempt was made by Louis Ma
poleon, spurred thereto by the En-
press Eugene, who was nothing if
not envious, to eclipse the glorious
magnificence of the First Empire, but
he succeeded onlyin running himself
and almost sacrificing the country,
because of womans childish folly.
The world will remember for all time
the glory of the First; the Second En-
pire is a reproach, regarded with scorn.
But not so with the Second Empire
that has sprung upin the Northwest.
1t bids fair to SurpaSS the old empire
of the eastern and middle section, and
put the older dominion to the blush.
Enterprise and development have
contributed to this, and in connection
with both, one finds the st. Paul &
Duluth Railroad, which is looked up
on as the short line between the Twin
Cities and Duluth and West Superior
and is popular because it affords adj
mirable facilities to the traveller, cat
ering at all times to his convenience,
his tastes and love of ease, Always
take the Duluth Short Line, which
makes close connections for all points.

GROVER CLEVELAND has touch of
that quite universal propensity, dem
agogry, in his nature. During his
term in the presidency he was a rank
anti-free coinage champion, but quite
recently, when it seemed that his sue
cess in '92 would depend on the free
coinage element, if he were to sue
coed at all, he came boldly out and
declared that he had been converted
to the free idea; but many of his best
friends doubted the sincerity of his
conversion, believing it to be mere
subterfuge by which he expected to
gain strength politically. His recent
reticence on that issue, and other &C
tions would indicate that he is trifle
unsettled in his convictions, and he
may settle back to his former views
in favor of sound money. In fact, it
is to be doubted whether he ever chang
ed his opinion.

SENATOR BARR has forwarded us a
bill introduced in the State Senate by
Senator Mcmillan, entitled: bill for
an act relating to the acquiring of
rights, privileges and franchises for
the use of streets, ETC., in towns, vii
lagos, and cities. To fully understand
the scope of this proposed law it must
be studied in connection with statutes
now touching upon the same question.
A cursOry glance would create the i'm
preston that it is of considerable i'm
portance, and it would be well for
Mankato people to digest it's merits,
because the franchise question is like
ly to be live one in MankatO for
some time, and the FREE PRESS will
give the bill full attention later on.

THE WOUNDED KNEE FIGHT.


Indians Give Their Account of 1t to Com
missioner Morgan.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 12.-The Sioux In
dian conference has been concluded and
the Indians will start ia a few hours for
home, going by way of Philadelphia
and Carlisle. The feature of the meet
ing was the story of the fight at
Wounded Knee, which was told by
Turning Hawk and American Horse.
The first shot fired was by young In
dian Of very bad character, Turning
Hawk said, and was fired directly at an
officer. who was killed. AS soon as the
frstshot was fired the Indians immedi-
ately began drawing their, knives, and
they were exhorted from all sides to de-
sist, but this was not obeyed; conse-
quently the firing began Immediately on
the part of the soldiers. All the men
who'were in bunch were killed right
there, and those who escaped that first
fire got into the ravine, and as they
went along up the ravine for a long dis
lance they were pursued on all sides by
the soldiers and shot down, as the dead
bodies showed afterwards.
In answer to question from the COM
missioner as to whether the Indian
women took any part in the fight, Turn
ing Hawk said that they had no arms to
fight with. The women were standing
off at a different place from that where
the men were stationed, and when the
firing began those of the men who es-
capped the first onslaught went in one di-
rectlon up the ravine, and then the
women, who were punched together at
another place, went entirely in differ
ent direction through an open field, and
the women shared the same fate as the
men who went up the deep ravine.
The Story of American Horse.
American Horse told the following
story: The men were separated as has
already been said from the women, and
they were surrounded by the soldiers,
and then came next the village of In
dams, and that was entirely surrounded
by the soldiers also. When the firing
began of course the people who were
standing Immediately around the young
man who fired the first shot were killed
right together, and then they turned
their guns. Hotchkiss guns, etc., upon
the women, who were in the lodges,
standing there under flag of truce, and
OF course as soon as they were fired
upon they fled, the men fleeing
in one direction and the women
running in two different direc-
tions, so that there were three general
directions in which they took figt.
There was a woman with an infant in
her arms who was killed as she almost
touched the flag of truce, and the women
and children, of course, were strewn all
along the circular village until they were
dispatched. All the Indians fed in these
three directions. After most of them
had all been killed cry was made
that all those who were not killed
or wounded should come forth
and they would be safe, and little
boys who were not wounded came out
of their places of refuge, and as soon as
they came in sight number of soldiers
surrounded them ana butchered them
there. After several others had spoken
the conference came to an end.

THE single tax theorists of the
State are making strong efforts to
have the present legislature pass a
bill submitting to vote of the peo-
pie, a single tax amendment to the
constitution. 1t is questionable
whether sufficient proportion of the
people of the State are asking this of
the legislature to warrant them in
passing such measure. The right of
petition is an invaluable right, but
it should require something more
than a mere handful Of citizens back
of such petition to warrant the leg
islature in foisting the great expense
and confusion, which would necessar-
lily attach to such a step, upon the
taxpayers of the State. The present
legislature is supposed to lean heavily
toward the agricultural interests of
the State, and it does not seem posi-
BILE that they would so far misjudge
these interests as to encourage the
single tax system, which would be
particularly burdensome to the far
merS.

SENATOR JOHN DAY SMITH, of Hen
nepin County, gave notice in the
State Senate yesterday of motion to
print and distribute over the State
5000 copies of pamphlet containing
the much talked of evidence of the
WaShburn-Sabin senatorial investi-
cation. 1t seems remarkable after
Donnelly has for two long years held
that up as the chief Republican sin of
the State, that he allows Republican
Senators. friends of both Republican
contestants to take the aggressive in
making this matter public. The trou-
BILE with those who have been endeav-
oring to prejudice Republican inter
ests with this bug-a-boo is, that they
wished to keep it a hidden secret so
as to thus more easily mislead the
public. With the bare facts staring
them in the face, these yawpers would
have to cease. The Republicans can
not afford to drop the matter now.

Bills Passed.
Leonard Whitmore Confirmed as Sur.
veyor General for the Wabasha
District.

ST. PAUL, Feb. lit was not gener-
ally expected when the senate adjourned
on Tuesday afternoon that there would
be quorum Wednesday morning.
Many had availed themselves of the
junket to st. Cloud with the committee
to visit the reformatory, and some of the
others had decided to take a day off on
their own account, the Republican
members having several Especial" bills
that needed their attention, and some
other matters of interest to their con-
stituents. Hardly a dozen members
were in their seats when Rev. Edward
Savage invoked divine blessing. Suisse
quently other members came in and at
the first call of the roll there were six
teen reported as present.
Mr.. Donnelly stated that he under
stood that enough senators were in the
city to make a quorum and moved a call
of the senate, the motion prevailing. AT
1895 another roll call was had and
twenty nine senators were reported as
present.
John Day Smith offered joint reso-
luton to the effect that two members of
the house and one from the senate be
appointed as a special committee to con-
fer with the governor relative to the
claim of P. B. Walker for collection of
$1Os,OOO, the war tax paid by this state
and refunded by the United States gov
eminent.
A petition by Senator Borchert from
citizens of Renville county asking for
necessary legislation to enable them to
build warehouses on the line of railway
was received and referred.
The house bill providing for an appro-
priation of 81 900 for current expenses
of state reformatory to July 81, and ad-
ditional $12, 900 to cover deficit of 1890,
was also read and referred
John Day Smith asked unanimous
consent that the report of the investigat-
ing committee referring to Senator
Washburn's election be received. He
wanted enough copies printed to place
one in every house in the state.
Mr.. Donnelly thought that 1000 cop
les would be satisfactory number, and
as Senator Leavitt made some objections
the matter went over until Thursday.
Senator Leavitt introduced resolu-
ton that the president appoint COM
mittee of three to investigate and report
on the claim of P B. Walker previously
mentioned) as to why he should be paid,
together with the matter of whether
any other lawyer or any other person
has been paid any sum for similar>ser-
vices. Went over on notice of debate.
Leonard Whitmore was confirmed as
surveyor general of the district of
Wabasha
Senate bills on the. calendar were
passed amending section 1858 of the penal
code; relating to the incorporation OF
villages and defining duties and powers;
also number Of local measures. At
noon motion to adjourn was carried.
The Legislative Junket.
There were about 200 of the members
and their friends who went ON the
junket to the ST. Cloud reformatory,
and all appeared to enjoy the trip to the
utmost limit, expressing much gratifca-
ton at the management of the reforma-
tory.
