THURSDAY. JUNE /. 1893.

The Washington correspondent OF the
st. Paul Dispatch makes the following
reference to Major Baldwin, our repre-
sentative in congress:
Congressman Baldwin is just bit too
aggressive. Representatives of the peo-
pie are great men in their districts, but
they are small men in Washington, and
it takes some of them long time to
realize that fact. Mr.. Baldwin came
here with commendable zeal and energy
and push, and when things did not
move at his bidding be became FESTIVE
an angry. He rubbed up against Hoke
Smith and then ruffled the fur of Com
missioner Lamoreaux, until neither OF
those individuals cared to make even a
pretense of doing anything for him.
Congressman Hall felt very much as
Baldwin did. but he was more discreet.
and said but little. Finally when there
were nothing but snubs galore in the
atmosphere, and while Baldwin was
getting hot and chafed under the collar,
Mr.. Hall folded his tent like an Arab,
and quietly skipped out of town. Mr..
Baldwin is gradually absorbing great
chunks of wisdom by experience, ard
he talks in an appealing way now,
when he approaches the great men who
have offices to give out. Just as Brock
enridge, Crisp, McMillin and Others OF
reputation go down on their knees be-
for Grover and his courtiers, Mr.. Bald.

tive can catch more flies with molasses
than with vinegar. Mr.. Baldwin will bs

ses aud carries sugar in his pockets.

One would think that the Presbyterian
General Assembly now IN session in
Washington habits hands quite full with
internal dissension over the now famous
Doctor Briggs case-rhe eminent divine
on trial for heresy-without provoking
controversy and engendering ili-will
with other religious bodies. But there
is at least one member who doesn't think
so. and gives to the world this specimen
of his breadth of grasp and practical
charity, as quoted in the daily papers Of
recent date:
The leading feature of the morning SEES
sion was bitter attack by Rev. A. Mel
son Holli6eld, of Newark, N. J., On the
Episcopal church. This Was incidental
to discussion of the report on "churcl
unity" Mr. Hollifeld said the Episco
pal church was nothing more than &
black door to Rome" Rev. Charles M
Booth of New York; expressed regret al
this attack and was applauded.
How strange it is that really able and
well-meaning men will be carried away
with desire to couch very unwise senti
ments in what seem to them to be start
ling epigrams. Rum, Romanism an6

cation OF this tact,

The Stearns county court house, like

sented a report in which nothing was
said about the court house and jail being
wholly inadequate, a disgrace to the

was of quite different character this

OratorfcaI Cuntest.

One oil the features of the closing days
Of the State University is the Pilsbury
prize oratorical contest. In making the
selection Of speakers the best are assigned
places on the program. Among the
selected this year was William A. Simon
ton OF this city. The contest was held
at Olivet Baptist church on Saturday
evening last. The Minneapolis Tribune
has this TO say:
Henry Ward Beecher' was the subject
of the Grafton presented by William A.
Simonfon. who characterized Beecher as
second only to Abraham Lincoln in the
list of Americas greatest men. He
showed the effect of Beecher's preaching
on American theology, and illustrated
the greatness of his genius as thinker
and an orator. Mr. Simonton's voice.
while not especially sympathetic, was
calm and remarkably suited to the
Thought being expressed.
1t is an honor to any student to be
assigned place in this contest, and the
HERALD congratulates Mr.. Simonton.
