state. He has always taken the side of
the weak and oppressed and against
wealth and power. He is thorough
student, and whatever subject he in
vestigates, he probes to its depths.
This enables him to handle public
questions of the day with no small de-
gree of ability and for a young man, he
is considered among his colleagues in
Washington as one of the brightest
members of the House. Mr.. Lind is a
plain. honest, every day man who de-
spises tinsel, glitter, and show, and one
in whose company the humblest citizen
can feel perfectly at ease. The retire.

COUNTY TO THE FRONT.
The citizens of Brown county have

BROWN COUNTY TO THE FRONT.
The citizens of Brown county have
reason to compliment and congratulate
the gentlemen who prepared our coun-
ty exhibit at the State Fair, for it was
one that was creditable in every sense
of the word. We did not get first prize,
but is was not because we did not de-
serve it. The exhibit was the superior
of all others in quality, and all that
was lacking to catch the judges favor
was glitter and show. Apples were
there, raised in our own community,
which, had they stood alone, would
have won all that was to be won. Wat
ermelons we had, that were big enough
to excite the admiration of everybody,
and our corn was easily the best to be
seen in the entire and varied collection.
But better and more to be plized than
all else was our flour and wheat. These
took the lead and were recognized with
first premiums In an ordinary year
this might not count for much, but az
ter bountiful season like the present
one, when crops all over the state
were the best that they have been in
years, it is no small item to be able to
enter samples of wheat and take the
persimmons for No. 1 Hard over all
competitors. Add &c this the fact that
we make the best flour in the world
right here in New Ulm, and we have an
advertisement that is worth much to
our city and to the county. And more
over it IS an advertisement that does
not come to us by accident. We get it
because we deserve it; because we live
in section upon which the sun smiles
with golden richness. Ours is county
that need take back seat for none.
Our resources are manifold and can
compete with those of any portion of
the state.

A great many people, who are OPP
posed to capital punishment, are of the
opinion that the governor of the state
should commute the sentence of
every man condemned to hang. They
tell US that the statute is relic of bar
barism, but they forget that it is the bus
mess OF the governor to execute the will
of the people and not to find fault with
their wish as expressed in the written
law. When the people come to look up
on punishment in the proper light, as
educational and softening and not alto.
gether retributive, they will abolish this
neathenish law, and relieve the COVER
nor Of all responsibility. Until then. it
is hardly fair to shoulder onto one man,
what the masses are not willing to un-
dertake for themselves.

IT'S TRUE PURPOSES,

ISOLATION has the good fortune to know
the true purposes of county Fair, and
furthermore he has tire pluck and ener.
gy to push project which, to be of val
ue or to be successful, requires the ex-
penditure of much money and lots of
time,
A county Fair is only worth the labor
expended thereon when it is education
al; when it benefits the visitors who at
tend and when it tends to raise the STAN
dard of stock and produce of the coun-
ty N which it is held. Such a Fair
needs to be at once novel and made up
of instructive exhibits. for it is first nee.
essary to catch the people and then to
show them that which is worth seeing.
# it is necessary to draw from outside
counties to do this,let it be done; or if it
costs money, then raise the money. The
farmers of the county can only learn to
improve their stock by seeing some
thing better, and there is no incentive
to tlller of the soil to raise big pump.

which to draw a large crowd to New
Ulm on the three great days, but he has
also recognized the opportunity for in.
ducing our farmers to study the best
that the country produces in live stock

real objects for which county Fairs
were intended, and is giving the people
of Brown county a splendid chance to
profit from each others ideas and sue

UNDESERHED CRITICISM.

~ SSvsf AAASA 40 OOAAAS9 0A0jONV0Af W q
good deal of adverse criticism for his
decision in the Rose case, and much of
this abuse seems to come from the fact
that Holden's sentence was committed
while Roses was not. Most people
are not able to see the consistency OF
these two acts of the executive, appar.
emily so merciful to one and so severe
upon the other, and without knowing
his reasons, they are ready to find fault
and take the governor to task for allow.
ing himself to be governed by political
influence. 1t is quite possible, however,
that this criticism is undeserved, and
the thoughtful will be inclined to look
more closely into the matter before con.
demning an official of dealing so light
~ with human life.
In the cases Of both criminals great
pressure was brought to bear upon
Merriam in their behalf. Large petitions
were signed for each man, and proml-
nent citizens asked for mercy for one
as well as for the other. All were paid
proper attention and respect, and from
this it does not appear that the governor
could have been guided at all out of pol.
icy.That he may have acted at peculiar
time in the Holden case is perhaps true,
but there are reasons for that aside
from politics. The doubt surrounding
the guilt of the prisoner thickened to-.
wards the end, and many were the cir.
cumstances to lead one to think that
perhaps he was innocent after all. Ev.
en- the jud &c who sentenced him was
never firm in his conviction that Hol-
den was guilty man, and often said
and says so to-day, that while he be-
icves him to be such, he could not have
made up his mind to say so as juror.
Is it any wonder then that Merriam
should hesitate to deal otherwise than
carefully with Holden's life?
In the Rose case, on the other hand,
the chain of evidence seems to be COM
plete. Three times reviewed by reas-
oning judge, who refused a new trial,
and once by the Supreme court which
sustained the lower court, there is but
little room left for doubt. Merriam
could hardly find otherwise, and in fix
ing the day for execution he simply
performed duty, not a task that was his
or not at his own pleasure. 1t is not the
prerogative of the governor to commute
a mans sentence, because he thinks
there was perhaps reason for it. It
lies alone with the jury to consider the
motive and the right or wrong of the
crime, and the governor should con.
slider alone:the mere fact of its commits.
sion. The executive department by
the way was not intended to serve the
function of a judiciary body.

MISTAKEN ENTERPRISE.

The Review takes but very little note
of the scoop won over it by it's contemp.
orary, the Post, in publishing building
statistics thus early in the year, but it
deprecates the fact that paper, which
expects support from the citizens of a
growing town, should so far mistake
the object for which it is published as
to endeavor to make the building stat
istics appear as small as possible. One
hundred thousand dollars may seem
enough to the editorial writer of the
Post to cover the building improvements
in New Ulm in single year, bnt $780,
900 by no means represents the actual
amount. The Post may have reason to
know that the changes in Hauenstein's
brewery will not cost over $4,000, but
the word of one of the managers that it
will require $4,000 to increase the ca
pacity from 5000 to $4,000 barrels, is
sufficient excuse for the Review to place
it at no less than $4,000. The Mason
ic block may be covered by $17,5OO, &C.
cording to the Posts calculations, but
the word of men, financially interested,
that it will cost several thousands more,
is good reason to us why it should be
entered in a building report, intended
to benefit the town, with an even $25,
600. The Post may not know that$15, 900
haye been expended in paying for water
mains, substantial improvement to the
town, but the balance sheet of the city
clerk will nevertheless show the ex.
penditure of just that amount. Further,
the anxiety of the Post editor to be the
first to publish these statistics may have
led him to think that the people had got
through building last week, but the de.
cision of Messrs. Retzlaff and Crone to
erect substantial buildings at consider
able cost, announced since, will mater
tally alter the nieety of his figures. The
building statistics of az town for year
should include all the improvements or
none. To split it up into halves. giving
a little now and little then. is not news
nor is it enterprise. The town receives
no benefit from such piece-meal adver.

''Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warming
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
tion, you are TO be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, lond cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. III severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been severe

Poet Incoenito.

A circular letter has been placed in
our hands addressed to the 'sRev. Joseph
MacEachern, by the only original and
genuine Joe MacEachern in these parts,
which in part reads as follows: "As
YOUR name has been handed in to us as
an occasional writer of poetry we desire
you to forward us at your earliest con-
venience few of your short poems, and
you will be given fair representation
in Local and National Poets of America,
of a short sketch and one or more selec-
tions from your poems" The letter is
written from an eastern town, where, it
would seem Mr.. MacEachern is better
known than he is here, but it is very
surprising to us and very complimentary
to his extreme modesty that during an
eight years residence in The Dalles he
should have been able to conceal the
fact that he is not only "retired minis
ter" but poet to boot. 1t will be
readily admitted that Mr.. MacEachern
paid the writings of the CHRONICLE man
a very high compliment when we inform
our readers that he wanted to borrow
our modest little threnody entitled "An
Epitaph" which he desired to send to
writer, in lieu of one of his own produc-
tions, SO that through the renown he
would be sure to receive by assuming its
authorship he might shine the more
brightly in the galaxy of ''The Local and

How Oregon Was Named.

At a banquet given in Portland the
other night Barney Goldsmith said that
the name Oregon was derived from an
Irishman named O'Regan, who first
discovered this country and named it
after himself. He said he first learned
this fact from Geo. Knaggs, of The Dalles
"a most truthful man who settled at The
Dalles about the year 1880, who lives
there yet, hale and hearty and as truth
full as ever and who informed Mr..
Goldsmith that he was a passenger in
the ship commanded by Sir Francis
Drake in the early part of 1879. Mr..
Goldsmith further testifies that Knaggs
came out. to this country to hunt and
fish and that. while the early settlers
were sometimes given tolexaggeration.
Knaggs was not one of that kind, and is
not liable to have made mistake. All
this may be new to the people of Portland
but it is very old up this way.

A WonderfnI Er.alk

One OF the most wonderful freaks Of
nature the world has ever known is now
attracting attention in st. Paul, and
Spokane Falls figures as the central fig
ure IN the phenomenon. It is no less
than a horse that bears in its left eye a
perfect picture of the waterfall at Spo-
kane Falls The eye has been seen and
examined by hundreds of persons, and
closely compared by them with photo
graphs and other pictures of the falls,
and no one has yet failed to pronounce it
correct picture.
In discussing the matter with re-
porter Mr.. Dllman said:
Mr.. Deakin sent the horse down TO
the hotel where 1 stopped in order that
might see hmm. The horse is white In
color and of medium SIZE. / was some
what skeptical about the story until
looked into the animals left eye, when j
beheld perfect reprpduction of q part
OF the falls of the Spokane river as true
TO life as the best photographs
"The part of the falls shown is from
the water works ACROSS to the mills. The
island on which the water works stand
is also shown. The picture is absolutely
perfect in every detail. The horse was
sold in st. Paul with q number, of Other
horses, and the wonderful picture in his
eye was not discovered until after be
had passed into the possession Of Mr..
Deakin. ~
Hundreds of people have viewed the
horse, and Mr.. Deakin has received an
offer of 81 600 for him, which he prompt
~ refused. He also received hatterine
offer to exhibit the animal in the princi
pal towns of Montana. No such phe
nomenon, or whatever it may be called
was ever heard of before, and the hors.
