AN OBJECT LESSON.
The President Desires the Full
Gravity OF the Situation to Be
Presented to Congress.
Bonds Will Not Be Issued Until O
Lower Rate OF Interest Is
Authorized.

WASHINGTON, June THE Star has
this: president Cleveland's statement
as to the time when he proposes to call
congress together, and the reasons
which will lead him to do so, is clearly
interpretable as indicating a determine
ton on his part to continue using the
gold reserve to the extent necessary and
not to issue bonds. AS indicated yes
terday, he desires that the full gravity
of the situation should be apparent at
the time of the meeting of congress, so
that the legislative branch of the gOv-
eTnment shall have the duty pressing
upon them to correct laws protecting the
finances. 1t is claimed for the admins
tratiOn that there is no obligation to
issue bonds at once to make up the de-
ficiency in the gold reserve, and that
that reserve may be used in the regular
course Of business. 1t is said that,
should it run as low as twenty-five or
thirty millions before any financial leg
islation is had, there will be nc issue OF
bonds until expressly authorized by
congress, at a lower interest than can be
issued under the present law. The pres
ident desires congress to be con
fronted when it meets with the prac IT,
cal demonstration of the depicting eff
feet of the silver purchases upon the
gold i'll the treasury. Unless the situa-
ton should grow very much worse, re-
sulting in a general panic, the president
does not desire any radical steps to be
taken until congress meets in Septem-
Der, but if developments should require
prompter action, then congress would
be called together for it. the long list
Of financial failures appearing in the
morning dispatches, it is believed, has
not affected the presidents judgment as
to the policy to be pursued.

1t was not expected at the hour oe

to any change from the line of action
indicated above. Before the meeting
of the cabinet, the president had a talk

was ~to'locate the territorial prison at

do some trading to secure the capitol,

upon the present site of the Metropoli-

Trask, of Saltwater. Introduced in the
house a bill to prov ide for the erection

for the erection of the capitol building,

the old Central house, which stood on

1t may be said that, among the men,

gressive young fellows, who had not

whom were ex-senator Wilkinson, eX-

The Legislative assembly had hardly
got fairly to work before MIR. Johnson,

a 'biIl to locdte the temporary seat of

ton at St. Paul. st. Paul, st. Anthony

THE PRESENT CAPITOL

the winter Of 1859, the legislature of
Wisconsin invited the legislature of
Minnesota to visit Madison-the legis-
lature of Wisconsin then being in SEES
sion-which invitation was accepted.
The new capitol of Wisconsin had
just been completed, so much larger,
better adapted to the wants of a state
as a capitol than ours, with all modern
''conveniency," as my friend James
Dillon would say, that the Minnesota
Solons became infatuated with having
A New Capitol.
A member of the house from Mime
apolis, having acquired a large holding
of real estate In Kandlyohi county by
marriage, which land .adjoined some
six sections which some yerrs previous
had been granted by congress to the
| state Of Minnesota for state purposes.
| came to the conclusion that there 'were
millions in it," and, taking advantage
of a general feeling for a new capitol,
commenced agitating the question of the
removal of the capitol from st. Paul and
the erection of a new n on the state
lands in Kandiyohi county, claiming
that part Of the lands could be plated
and sold for a sufficient sum to erect
a capitol, a state institution or tw0-be-
sides-and that by a little manipulation
| making every member Of the syndicate
a quasi millionaire. A further induce
| ment was held out. that st. Paul was a
wicked place, and that country members
| were susceptible Of being led astraY
from the paths of virtue and morality.
| In the wilds of Kandiyohi county there
| WAS no opportunity.
The necessary vote having been
! pledged to secure Its passage, Hon.
CHARLES II. Clarke introduced a bill into
the house on the 4th day Of February,
1869, for an act to relocate the seat of
government and to provide for the

consultation with Father RavOux the
name of no such saint could be found
in the calendar of saints, and. to take
no chances on the doubtful saint. it was
finally agreed to call the village st.

and by the 9th of February the work
had been done, for on that day w. D..
Lowry, a member of the council, opened
the fight by the Introduction Of a bill
for the removal of the capital from st.
Paul to st. Peter. While the friends of
st. Paul fought the bill at every stage,
they were powerless, for by the 9th it
had passed both houses and sent to the
enrolling committee to be compared
with the original bill.
Joseph RoIette,
Of Pembina. was chairmanof the COM
mittee. Satisfied that the other fellows
had been having all the fun, he thought
it was time for his side to strike up the
music with a FULL band. So after having
had the bill placed in his hands he
quietly put on his coat. placed the bill
in his pocket and walked down to the
banking house of Truman NJ. Smith. on
the corner Of Seventh and Jackson
streets. He said to Mr.. Smith that he
had lust received some valuable papers
from Prairie du Chen which he wished
he would place in his safe until
he was ready to 60 home, which
was done. Joe then disappeared.

conference held in Saltwater in~1S4S as
to a deal i'll regard to the location of the

at that conference the location of the
capitol was never mentioned, and as to
the university, it was not dreamed of.
Men were too busy stalking out claims
and securing daily bread togive thought
to a university or a higher education

Richards Gordon Says That Is
What the Railroads Did for st.
Paul.
a retrospect of forty years spent in
st. Paul, embracing the period of active
progress, is somewhat Kaleidoscope in
effect, so great are the changes that have
transformed the former Indian trading
post into the prosperous city of today.
There still remain many of those who
then, with youth and high hopes, began
together in st. Paul the battle of life,
which has since been waged, as always,
with varying degrees of success. 10
such the event which we celebrate to-
day will have peculiar significance,
mingling the varied memories of the
past with the ~realizations of the
present. Although -St. Paul owes it's
pre-emirence primarily to its position
at the head of navigation on the Missis-
