FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1892.
COLUMBUS DAY.

Oct. 21st, the 4OOth anniversary o
the discovery of America, is to be ;
holiday for the public schools
throughout the country, and a uni
form program for every locality ii
A merica is to be given simultaneous
ly with the dedicatory exercises a.
the Worlds Exposition grounds
The official program provides for
morning celebration, the morning tt
be devoted to exercises befitting thu
anniversary. 1t consists of the fol
lowing features:
/. Raising and saluting the flag
(under the direction wherever posi-
BILE, of detail of veterans of the war;
2. The song of Columbus Day, (tC
a well-known tune).
3. The address, Ito be acclaimed
by the best speaker among the boys)
4. The ode, Ito be read or reclteo
by young LADY,.
5. America" (which will in all
CdSCo UC UlC SiOoiuS oOhSt
The song, the address and the ode
will all be original, prepared especial.
ly for the celebration by some Of the
best of American writers. The ex-
ecutive committee would encourage a
local variety to be giveo to the official
program. The afternoon may be de-
voted to games and a social reunion
of neighbOrs.
The Normal school will devote the
entire forenoon to this observance,
and the public schools will doubtless
do the same.
In nearly all cities and large villa,
ges the citizens will wish a formal
demonstration. The civic celebra-
tion should occur in the afternoon OF
evening. If there is procession the
public school pupils should march in
the line by classes and with banners.
The army veterans and civic organi,
cations should participate. A mass
meeting should also be held in the
public hall or opera house.
Mankato should prepare to have
such a celebration and render the day
a legal holiday. A strong commit
tee should be appointed at once, to
have charge OF. the matter. A splen-
did parade could be held, and an en-
thusiastic public meeting. The &C.
casion is one worthy of the most pat
riotic feelings.
The governor of Michigan has de-
clared the day legal holiday in that
state, and other states will probably
do the same.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Some Excellent Ideas Advanced AS
TO The Cleaning Up of the City.

The meeting of the Board of Trade
this morning was devoted to profit
able discussion of the measures neces-
sary to be taken to put the city in
first-class sanitary condition.
Pres. Willard stated that the water
rates are so very low that no one has
any excuse for not using it. 1t is al
most as cheap as to pump water out
of well. Wherever there are sewers
water-closets should be put in, eX-
cept in old frame buildings where
they would freeze up in winter. In
such buildings earth closets will ans
wer the purpose, and are just about
as healthful. The abandonment of
priyies, cesspools and wells should be
crowded as fast as possible. 1t is
amazing that people do not put in
sewers and water connections wher-
ever they can.
James Shoemaker stated that there
is not well on the fiat between Front
and Fourth streets that is safe for
drinking purposes. When a sewer
was recently being put in every well
was drained.
John Klein stated that if the peo-
pie were not compelled to use the
sewers there is no use of constructing
them. We must be strict, and poor
people can manage to get along some
way. If they would put in water
closets they would never want to go
back to the old plan.
G. E. Musser urged that if the On
tairo plan, of paying for the connec-
tions in installments, were adopted
it would be much easier on the people
and more would feel like putting in
the connections.
John G. Noe thought that the gar
bage question is an important mat
ter. ST. Paul considers it very i'm
pOrtant, and there is no more serious
question to be considered by the Man
katO council and board of health.
Prompt action should be taken to
have garbage collected and taken
away. The time has come when there
should be a gathering of garbage at
public expense. One can find decay
ing and dangerous vegetable matter
on five or six lots in every block.
These things breed diphtheria and
typhoid fever, even if cholera never
visits US.
John n. Hall stated that the miser-
able article in the Lake Crystal Mirro1
was causing a scare among people
who wanted to come to MankatO. He
was up on the Watonwan river last
week and saw lady who wanted to
come to Mankato but who was afraid
to do SO as she feared that there was
an epidemic here.
Pres. Willard stated that the
health officers must be supported by
public sentiment, or they can not &C.
complish much. Public sentiment on
the sanitary question should be arous
ed. Without taking any action, the
board adjourned.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
WASHINGTON, June 9. 1892.

MY DEAR SIR-In response to your
communication of the 23d ultimo, en-
closing letter from Hon. Knute Nelson,
of Alexandria, Mimi, calling your
attention to the cases which he repre-
sents as attorney, and which are pend
ing before the department, against the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
and asking you to see the secretary and
ascertain what is the status thereof, and
what the prospects are for early consid-
Grafton, l have to say, that while Mr..
Nelson has been active and diligent in
the prosecution of his cases, and no
blame can legitimately attach to him on
account of the seeming delay, yet hope
be will bear in mind that no fault can
be found with the department for what
he and his clients seem to think indicate
inaction. 1t follows the same rule which
is observed in the appellate courts in dis
posing of cases upon the docket in the
order in which the appeals are taken and
eled.
On March 4, 1889, there were upon the
locket 1851 cases and the secretary was
about a year behind in disposing of
them. There are now about l,942 cases
cases upon the docket, and it will prob
ably be eight months before the last
case which has been filed will be reached

STATEMENT FROM Mr.. NELSON.

He Says the Railroad Attorney Story Is q
Falsehood from Beginning to End.
Minneapolis Journal: Mr.. Nelson's
attention was called to the fact that Mr..
Donnelly and certain Peoples party and
Democratic newspapers have been
charging or insinuating in one form or
another that Mr.. Nelson is the attorney
of the Great Northern or the Manitoba
Railway company. Mr.. Nelson said:
"That is the old chestnut that was
used by Mr.. Kindred in his congress
sional campaign in 1882. One of the
main charges made by him in that cam
paign against me was that was a rail-
road attorney. 1t was proclaimed all
overthe Fifth district, far and wide, but
the people at that time paid no attention
to the false charges-I was elected to
congress by large plurality; and my
six years course in congress, think,
demonstrated that on all public ques-
tions affecting the railroads-for in
stance, such questions as the interstate
commerce law, and the various land
grant forfeiture bills that were reported
by the committee on public lands-I was
always on the side of the people,"
what, then, was the basis, of the
charges, Mr.. Nelson?"
1.-THE only basis for the charge made
in 80 was this: In 1879, when the Man
itoba railroad, then under the manage
ment of Mr.. Farley, was extended from
Alexandria to GAINESVILLE, 1 was en-
ployed by Mr.. Farley to aid his right of
way agent, wherever he was unable to
accomplish it, to secure the right of way
for the road, and whenever necessary, to
take the proper steps for condemnation
proceedings. While commissioners were
appointed, there were only three cases
on the entire line that were taken into
the district court, and these were in the
city of. Fergus Falls, and grew out of a
controversy between rival parties there
touching the location of the road
through the town.
''The following year I aided the road
In securing the right of way on what
was known as its Pelican line. and in
1881, at the request of Mr.. 6alusha, then
the solicitor of the road, who was unable
to come to court, tried one case for the
company in his behalf. Since that time
have done no law business or any other
business of any kind whatsoever, either
for the Manitoba railway or the Great
Northern, or for Mr.. Hill, or for any
other railway company.
During all the time since my re.
turn from congress have not only
done no business for any railroad COM
pany, Or any officers thereof, but have
done considerable work against different
companies. I have had. among other
legal work, over fifty land cases in the
interior department on behalf of settlers
against the Manitoba. Northern Pacific
and other railway companies mostly
against the Manitoba company-and
have had two cases in the district court
for Todd county on behalf of settlers,
involving the title to disputed lands. "

in its regular order, 80 you see we have
gained some four months with On in.
creased docket. hope Mr.. Nelson will
bear in mind that it is but fair and just
that the parties shall have their cases
considered in their regular order, and
that there is no reason assigned why his
cases should be taken up and advanced
over others which were filed here prior
to his. By order of the secretary nc
case is made special unless there is some
public interest involved, or where to
require the case to await its regular call
upon the docket would work a practical
denial of justice. Nothing of that kind
appears in Mr.. Nelson's case.
l enclose you list giving their status
which will show that a fair proportion
have been disposed of, and in a very few
weeks the majority of them will have
been passed upon by the department.
