How His Love for Sis Cigar Got Him
Lotto an Uncomfortable Fix.
From the PittsburO Dispatch
Count Won Moltke travelled one fine spring
day in 1868 from Berlin to Potsdam, and as
his journey was on his own affairs alone he
laid aside the uniform for the cooler garb Of
the civilian. Arrived at his destination, he
walked through the city, enjoying his good
cigar and freedom from recognition. AS
be entered the open square before the pal
ace, used as a parade ground, the sentinel
before the great portal called out that slnok-
ing was not allowed there, but Moltke, lost
in thought, or feeling himself above the
law, walked calmly on. But he had scaroe-
IL turned the corner when he was stopped
by the second sentinel, aroused by bis COM
rades call, aud as the civilian does not seam
inclined to throw away hte cigar, the SOL
dler pushes him into the sentry box, with
the announcement that he is to remain
there until the watch is changed
Moltke gives his name, but the sentry
serving hia first year, answers that he does
not know the general and that any civilian
might declare himself to be Moltke. The
general is obliged to acknowledge that the
man is right, as he had unfortunately moth
ing but his face to prove his identity. So
he remained in the sentry box until friend
happened TO pass and MOltke prayed him to
inform the officer of the watch of his posi-
tion. The latter hurried TO the spot and re-
leased the great strategist, who went at once
to headouar ters, and half an hour later, to
the delight of all smokers, the placards
with the interdict against that harmless
pleasure disappeared from the gates of the
square. So that al involuntary incognito

The New York Chamber of {

THE New York Chamber of Com
merce has spoken in favor of nation
al quarantine, and from many other
sources there is feeling expressed
that national quarantine ought to
to be established. And it seems to be
most reasonable why this should be
done. The vessels arriving in our
ports are ordered into a twenty days
quarantine by the federal govern
ment, and the carrying out and en-
forcing of this order ought to be en-
tirely in it's hands. This would avoid
all possible chance for a conflict be-
tween national and local authorities,
and in the face of great national dan
ger, such as would exist should cholera
again knock at our doors, there
ought to be no posi- bility for the con-
tentIon of authority. Further than
this it would secure harmonious CO.
operation with consuls and other gov
eminent agents. and thereby be bet
ter able to note any infractiOn Of. the
law by steamship companies and
bring the offenders to Justice more
promptly and effectively. 1t would
moreover cause the quarantine rules
throughout the country more uniform
and strictly enforced at all ports
alike and along all frontiers. There
is nothing in a national quarantine
which would prevent local authorities
from acting in concert with the ma
tiOnal authorities in times of great
danger from contagious diseases and
render great service in stamping them
out. The cry that is would be a heavy
expense to the government cuts no
figure whatever when health is taken
into consideration, and should cholera
rage next season as now seems likely,
the keeping of it out entirely, or re-
ducing danger therefrom to the mini
mum by means of a national Quaran-
tine would more than Offset all the ex-
pense incurred for the next half cen
fury. Expense cannot be placed
against the public health.

THE LIE Sueur Sentinel, replying to
the statement of the FREE PRESS
that it would take long time for De-
mocracy to get back to Jeffersonian
simplicity-so long, in fact, that it
never would be Accomplishments
that it is hard task which Democra-
cy assumes. as it must not only pay
up Republican debts but expect to
meet the fercest opposition
with every measure Of economy pre-
sented. The Democracy will be en-
countered with no Republican debts
to pay up, except the debt which the
party while in control Of the govern
ment contracted in putting down the
great rebellion which was waged
against the government by the lead
ers of Southern Democracy. And the
500, 600 surplus which the Sentinel
says the Democratic party left in the
treasury. when it turned the govern
ment over to the Harrison administra-
ton, has not been wasted. but used
with a still larger amount in reduce
ing that Indebtedness. If the DemOc-
racy makes as good record during
the next four years with the finances
of the government as the Harrison
administration has, the people will
find no fault upon that score.

SECRETARY HART, of the State
Board of Correction and Charities,
has prepared his financial report. In
it he shows that the estimated expen-
ses for the various state institutions
in 1890 was S7l5, AGO, while the actual
expenses for the year ending July
1892, were sos, 232. 1.-THE appropria-
tions made by the legislatures of 1889
and 1891" says the trustees, "were
smaller than we originally recon-
mended, and in our Judgment, they
have not been large enough. Wer
ommend. therefore, that the appro-
priation for extraordinary repairs be
increased to $4,000 yearly" The es-
timated number of inmates for the
years ending July 81, 1894 and July 81,
1895, is 4,2l5 and 4,545 respectively,
and the net estimated expenses per
inmate for these years $1S3.S5 and
S179.S7 respectively, thus giving the
total estimated current expenses, ex-
elusive Of lands, buildings and extra
ordinary repairs, $3.50, 435 and 1916, 400

A MINNEAPoLIs gentleman having
proposed that some plan be arranged
whereby a railroad should share with
the farmer the variation in the price
of wheat, in that the railroad would
carry cheap wheat for less money
than it would dear wheat. the Fergus
Falls Journal says that this is of
course impracticable and will never
be adopted. If anything in this di-
rection was to be adopted, the Journal
thinks ''the most feasible plan would
be to return to the old system of tolls.
That is, instead of paying freight at
10 cents bushel cash, regardless of
the value OF the crop, fix tariff in
pounds of wheat. For every bushel
of wheat shipped from Fergus Falls
let the road take the equivalent of
six pounds. If wheat was 80 cents
bushel it would give them the same
amount they get now. From Barnes
vile, let them take seven pounds,
and so on. This would make the rail-
road share in grade and price, would
stop combinations between elevators
and railways and would not make
the wheat raiser stand all the loss
when the price was below cost of pro-
duction. But these ideas will proba-
bly, never prevail"

TIE good roads we have had for the
past few weeks, contrasted with the
condition they were iD year ago, most
emphatically illustrates the benefits
that occur from good roads, not only
to the farmers, but to the towns and
cities as WELL A year ago because of
the poor roads business Of all kind
with the rural districts, was almost
entirely suspended. The holiday
trade did not in any case meet expec-
tations, and in many lines of business
the returns were very unsatisfactory
But while it was hard upon the town
people, it bore no less heavily upon
those residing in the country. They
could not get to town with their pro-
duce, because of the condition of the
roads, and was equally as nard to get
from house to house, nus cutting of
all chance for said ga herring, and COM
pletely isolating the farmer from the
world. But this year the hard,
smooth roads have allowed the freest
of travel and the effort upon trade
has been everywhere apparent. From
every direction come the reports of a
heavy holiday trade, and that bust
ness of all kinds has been remarkably
good. and our local merchants cOrrob-
crate these reports by the statement
that they have enjoyed the best holt
day and general trade, they have had
in years. OF course in connection
with the good roads which dame ma
ture this year gave, there has been
most excellent weather.
The lesson drawn from the con-
trast of the condition of the roads
this year and last year, ought to be OF
some value, toward securing better
roads-roads that will be good no
matter what the weather. 1t ought
to be lesson forcible enough to cause
the legislature to take some action in
the matter, which will prevent the
great waste that annually results from
Door roads, and cause start toward a
substantial improvement to be made.

TT is now thought that coal in pay

IT is now thought that coal in pay
ing quantities and of quality suita-
BILE to be used in the manufacture of
iron and steel, will be found in the
northern part of the state. If this
hope should be realized it would be of
untold benefit in helping to build up
manufacturing interests in that line.
The discovery of the large deposits of
iron ore in that part of the state, puts
Minnesota to the front as future
mining state, and the discovery of
coal in sufficient quantities to be used
in it's manufacture would place this
state in the same position to the great
and growing Northwest that Pennsyl-
vania has for so many years been to
to the East. Supplement this with a
deep waterway to the seabuard, and
this section of the country, which was
a few years ago vast wilderness,
would soon become great empire.

from the presidency, connects him
with the law faculty of the Stanford

the recipients of a course of lectures
