on either side Many a battle has been
fought in which ten times the number
of men were engaged than were in the
battle of New Ulm, and the losses have
been ten times greater, and no import
ant consequences have resulted there
from. In the Revolutionary War be-
tween this country and Great Britain
there was an Indian fight Oh the Mo
hawk, in the state of New York, at a
point called Oriscany. 1t resembles.
as near as history tells us, very much in
all its particulars the battle of New Ulm.
BurgOyne, the commander of the Brit
ish, held the North river in its upper
waters and dominated all the East. st.
Leger, the British commander of the
forces in the West, attempted to make
junction with him by coming from
Lake Ontario down to the Hudson.
The sturdy German inhabitants OF
the Mohawk valley determined to pre-
vent his descent of that river. and with
Gen. IIerkimer at their head, a German,
they advanced to the point of Oriscany,
where they met the British with large
body of Indians acting as their allies,
and the engagement took place.
| do not think it was much
more of fight than the one we
had upon this historic ground twenty
nine years ago. / doubt If the slaughter
was much greater than occurred at this
place, yet historians have classified the
battle of OriSkany as one of the decisive
battles of the world. and the reason was
this, that had st. Leger succeeded in
forming junction with Burgoyne it is
very doubtful whether the independence
of America would ever have been
achieved. The defeat of st. Leger re-
suited in the decentralization of Bur-
goyne, and American independence be-
came possible.
Now, while l do not claim that the
battles of New Ulm possess any such
interest or Importance as historians
have attached to the battle of Oriskany,
l do say unheSitatingly that if these
savages bad not met with the gallant
rebuff that they received at Fort Ridge
ly, and the equally heroic resistance
that they met with at New Ulm, that they
would, encouraged by success, have
carried everything before them through
the whole extent of the valley of the
Minnesota down even to the capital city
of st. Paul. Therefore, l say, and in
SiSt, that these battles are events in the
history of Minnesota that the state does
well to commemorate by an everything
monument which shall speak to future
generations words of inspiration ana
patriotism when they may be called
upon to act in defense of their country
and its institutions.

Mai. Sanders Review OF the Out
break of 1862.

MAJ. SauuCtS IGCNiO0 VI bhC -
break of 1862.
The address of the day, delivered by
Nal. E. C. Sanders, now of Minneapolis,
but in the perilous days of 1862 the
commander of the LIE Sueur Tigers, was
a review Of the entire outbreak. 1t was
the narrative of an actual participant
and of one Yel-known to the assembled
hostS.a as such it was doubly pleasing
to all listeners. The address follows:
We stand to-day where twenty nine years
ago the benignant and enlightened civiliza-
ton of the nineteenth century met and
joined in deadly conflict with the barbarism
of an Anticipated past crude and cruel
savagery, which in no important particular
differed from that possessed by the aboIig-
ines of Europe long before Celt or Saxon dis
turbed their haunts or modified their modes
of life. Judged by the arms they used. the
food thew ate the mechanical and artistic
skill they displayed, this primitive people
resembled and were in no respect inferior to
the naughty and unprogressiye American In
dian.
It is this stereotype man upon whom the
eZcs have come aud gone and made no
change: it is he who has always challenged
the right of paleface and enlightened peo-
ple to occupy and make for themselves
homes upon this continent. ills he, schooled
to arms in tribal wars, who has ever con-
fronted the pioneers OF our race, as they
have advanced from the Atlantic toward the
Pacific in quest of homes; and these are the
settlers whose intelligence industry and no.
BILE daring have laid the foundation OF all
the states from Maine to California, and
made their development and greatness pos
sible.
And these are they whose ears have. been
familiarized with the war whoop of this
American Ishmael, and their bodies that
have been made targets for his missiles OF
death.
Belonging to this advanced line of ciyiliza-
ton that have done and suffered so much In
transforming a wilderness into productive
fields were the first settlers Of Southwestern
Minnesota.
Settlement in this part Of the state was
commenced Immediately after the title OF the
Sioux Indians to all this fair and fertile
region had been extinguished, with the ex-

Linen mills in the Northwest.

The protection afforded by the McKin-
ley bill has stimulated the interest felt
I'm promoting the linen manufacturing
in this country to considerable extent.
The interest in the matter is not confined
to discussion and mere talk, but has as
sumed tangible shape in the organiza-
tion, at Minneapolis, of a company
backed by men of strong financial stand
ing, and who are convinced of the prac-
ticability and money making capabilities
of q linen mill which shall use the fax
fiber grown in large quantities in the
Northwest, and by far the greater part
of which has hitherto been allowed to go
to waste, the fax seed being the only part
of the crop harvested, the fiber being
burned.
That this fax fiber can be utilized to
advantage i'm linen manufacturing seems
to be evident, for it is stated that Mr.,
Livingston, member of the Canadian
Parliament from Baden, has raised and
sold many tons of this fiber to be used
by Eastern manufacturers, and also a
considerable quantity was sold for ship
ment abroad
One important feature of the prepare
ton of this fax tow, or fiber, is the
degumming, and the treatment, we i'm
agine, Is somewhat similar to that which
the decorticated ramie fiber must under
go before 1t is in proper state for manu-
facturers' use.
If the Minneapolis Linen Company
demonstrates by its success that this fax
tow can be manufactured into salable
goods at q profit (and we see no reason
why 1t cannot do SOY a new field of man
ufacturing industry has opened up for
that section of the country, and not only
will manufacturers profit by.it, but the
farmers throughout all Minnesota and
Dakotas, where it is said that six times
the total fax acreage Of Ireland is laid
down, will be direct gamers from the
profitable sale OF that portion Of the
product which has hitherto been an ex-
pense rather than q source of income. -

How Prices Are Determined.

The size of the crop is the thing that
determines the size of the prices. There
is demand for certain amount of farm
products from year to year, and the
prices rise or fall as the supply sinks be-
low or goes beyond this demand. The
theorists may talk as much as they
please about other influences, but the
question is at last only one of quantity.
The world must have so many bushels
of grain per year, and it will pay there
for simply SO much as it is obliged to,
considering the available surplus.
There is no process of legislation by
which additional sales can be forced
when the demand has once been sup
piled; it is not in the power of
Congress to compel purchasers to
take more than they want, or to give
more than they are willing to pay. The
fact that the crop of given year is in
excess of the measure OF consumption
cannot be concealed. 1t is known every
where, and prices are adjusted accord
ingly. When the crop is short. the same
rule applies, and the markets are cores
pondingly affected. If the farmers
could manage to produce only enough
each year to meet the known demand,
they would always obtain fair and just
prices. 1t is overproduction, in other
words, that puts prices down for them,
and they cannot expect to have prices
put up for them under such circum-
stances by any sort of artificial force. -

Beds of Various Natives.

In the tropics men sleep in hammocks
or upon mats Of grass. The East Indian
unrolls his light. portable charpoy or
mattress, which in the morning is again
rolled together and carried away by
him. The Japanese lie upon mating
with stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck
rest. The Chinese use low bedsteads,
often deliberately carved, and supporting
only mats or coverlids. A popularity
of the German bed is its shortness; be-
sides that it often consists in part of a
large down pillow or upper mattress,
which spreads over the person, and
usually answers the purpose of all the
other ordinary bed clothing combined.
In England the old four-posted bed
stead is still the pride of the nation, but
the iron or brass bedstead is fast becom-
ing universal. The English beds are the
largest beds Ia the world. The ancient
Greeks and Romans had their beds sup
ported on frames, but not fat like ours.
The Egyptians had a couch of pc
culiar shape, more like an old fash
Toned easy chair with hollow back and
seat.

Old school Discipline in Germany.

A queer case of school discipline has
lately attracted attention in Germany.
The teacher Of village school, who car
ried on the business of extracting teeth
to increase his paltry income, utilized
his dentist skill for the discipline of re-
calcitrant pupils. Eight boys were by
him deprived of teeth, which he thought
they could get along better without than
with, as punishment for gross disobe-
dience. The parents of the pupils caused
this odd disciplarian to be prosecuted for
doing bodily injury to their offspring,
but the charge was dismissed because
the teacher proved by expert medical
testimony that instead of harming his
pupils he had actually benefited them.
This style of discipline, however, has
been prohibited.

Direct Taxation Is a Tax.

"The tariff is tax. " This ia famfl-
lar free-trade cry. Few stop to think
how the revenues OF country must be
raised If the tariff is reduced or abol-
ished. The only way possible Is by di-
rect taxation In European countries,
where the tariff is not SO high as in the
United States, every species OF direct
taxation has to be resorted to in order to
raise the necessary revenue for the enor-
nous expenditures to sustain royalty
and standing armies. A reader of the
Press recently returned from Austria
comes back with tale OF woe about
taxation. This gentleman, by the way,
went abroad thoroughly tinctured with
free trade, but he comes back with a
deliberate request that the Press expose
the infamous system of direct taxation
In vogue In Austria.
aGo into a telegraph Office, he says,
1and you see the cost of telegraphing Is
so much per word. You write out your
dispatch carefully, count the words and
hand over the amount. The clerk looks
Ii over and says half or q third more.
what fOr?' exclaims the traveller. Inn

is taxed. Every copy OF q newspaper Is
obliged to have an imperial stand up
on 1t.
But this is not the worst OF 1t. While
in Vienna the gentleman had the Press
sent to him, and was astonished that In
addition to the regular postage, which,
of course, was prepaid at the New York
office, he was compelled to pay q small
sum-a cent, or possibly lesson every
copy that reached him.

The New Illinois senator

John M. Palmer is the new Senator
from Illinois. He was elected through
the perfidy of Moore and Cockrell, two
of the +. NJ B. A. members, who de-
serted their own candidate and voted for
Palmer.
Could perfidy go further Could men
exhibit less regard for every principle of
honesty than these two f. M. B. A.
Representatives who deserted the regu-
lar nominee of their own caucus, simply
because they saw that few more bal
lots would elect him?
If any new evidence were required of
the loyalty of the Republican party to
the interests of the Western farmers,
that evidence was abundantly supplied
in this contest The Republicans were
I'm every instance ready to assist the
farmer members. They even went to
the extent of sacrificing their own can
didate In order that the cause of the
farmers might be promoted. They were
voting for Lindley, President of the f.
M. B. A. organization in Illinois, when
the final ballot was taken.
In marked contrast with this self-sac-
rifice was the political treason of Cock
rell and Moore. What do the farmers
think Of them? Do they want to elect
any more such demagogues to positions
of responsibility?
The outcome of this struggle cannot
fail to prove blessing to the Republican
party. 1t convinces the intelligent farm
ers of the State that reliable Repub-
licans are in every instance preferable
to demagogues in the ranks of any third
party 1t satisfies them beyond doubt
that the Republicans are their friends.
It will insure the election of the Repnb-
lican ticket in 2.-Chanlpa NelOs.
