General Grants Quick Perception.
One afternoon during the siege Of Yicks-
burg General Grant came sauntering on
foot toward the naval battery on Lo-
gan's front .... ..... H..
The place was known as the shell
basket" from the number Of 10-inch NOR
tar shells dropped into the earth, which
exploded and raised clouds Of dust that
obscured everything in the vicinity for
some moments ~. -
In this instance afew of US had watch
ed the fight of shell, but the general
saw the bomb only the moment before It
struck, and it's windage threw him to
the ground. He was unhurt, and con-
scious that time was precious before the
explosion he had rolled himself suf1i-
GENTLY away to escape the shock, but not
the earthly shower-from the dust Of
which he presently emerged, intently
considering an unlit cigar.
ssLogan,' he said cheerily to that gen,
eral, who in the full bloom of a clean
white shirt FASTENED to him, chow can
you keep so clean in such dusty placer
This escape was followed by another 8
few afternoons later, when shell landed
by the front pole of the awning before
Logan's tent, and eight generals, Grant
among them, rolled hastily out Of thu
shelter to meet uninjured when the dus
cleared away from the recent place O

THE c.. A. Smith Lumber company
was not given an opportunity to present
it's side of the case as fully as it desired
before the legislative committee, and it
is thought that the whole matter can
now be carefully looked into when the
case comes to minneapolis Leena-
be1n,a0ae.
The above refers to the school
section deal in this county. The
assertion that the G. A. Smith
company was not allowed to pre-
sent it's side of the case before the
Legislative committee is absolutely
and unqualifdely false. But the
case will be disposed of by the
courts, the rotteness of the deal
will be thoroughly exposed and
the State school fund will be en-
riched to the extent of twelve OF

THERE is trouble in the Duluth
land office district. The pine land
sharks, backed by decision of the
general land office, are usurping
the rights of bona tide settlers.
The Duluth Herald, an .independ-
ent Democratic journal, has this to
say:
Ever since the law of March 8, 1879,
was passed requiring presumption and
homestead settlers to advertise the fact
of proving up and paying for land upon
which they had previously settled,
they have been permitted by law to adj
yertise proof upon lands newly sur
veyed, at the same time of fling their
claims in the land office, provided the
date OF the proof was set forward three
months from the date on which the
plat of survey was filed. Even Sparks,
the Terrible, admitted and sanctioned
this practice as correct. But at the
instance of a gang of land speculators,
who are seeking to despoil these set
tiers of their lands and Improvements,
Assistant Commissioners Bowers, fol.
lowing the precept of his party in its
antagonism to homesteaders, has is
sued an order forbidding settlers to ad
vertise their proofs until the expira
ton of three months from the date Of
the fling Of the plat. This order
would not be SO bad if the delay wa.

WERE James G.. Blaine alive to-
day there would be no question as
to where he would stand on the
financial question. In speech
delivered on the floor of the house
Feb. 9TH, 1878, he said:
The destruction of silver as money
and establishing gold as the sole unit
Of value must have a runious effect on
all forms of property except those in
vestments which yield fixed return
in money. These would be enormously
enhanced in value, and would gain a
disproportionate and unfair advantage
over every. other species of property
If, as the most reliable statistics affirm
there are nearly $1,000, 100000 of coir
or bullion in the world, not very I'M
equally divided between gold and sill
yer, it is impossible to strike silver ou
of existence as money without results
which will prove distressing to mil
lions and utterly disastrous to tens O
thousands.
Again that incompatible states
man said:
I believe gold and silver coin to be tn
money of the constitution. No powe
was conferred on congress to declar
either metal should not be money
Congress has, therefore, in my judg
ment, no power to demonitize silve
any more than to demonitize gold.
