which IL was desired 10 commemorate was
the anniversary Of the birth of Italy as q
nation. an occasion held in esteem by lovers
OF liberty throughout the world. Everybody
knows that under the rule of these same
rings. citizens and visitors OF certain
nationalities have been subjected to gross
insult, as witness the arrest of the
crew OF the Viking In Brooklyn, one OF the
most Infamous outrages ever perpetrated In
any community. The election Of Mayor
Schieren was In large part a protest against
this form Of oppression and discrimination,
and II Is safe to say that he will not lose a
vote that was cast for him In November by an
earnest stand in behalf of Amercanism.
II II were right that foreign flags should be
displayed on our public buildings,
then all foreign flags should DO treated
alike, and ali displayed upon re-
quest from the residents belonging to
the particular nationality making the request.
Discrimination against any Of them would
be odious, and. on the other hand, continu-
Gus succession of foreign flags on our city
halls would be wrong and ridiculous. There
fore. the best course 10 pursue is to have no
flag but the American floating over
American public buildings. save upon an oc-
casion like the review of last April, when dis
tinguished foreigners were among US as guests
Of the American people. One flag should be
sufficient for American citizens and for those
who are here with the intension of becoming
citizens. That is the flag Americans followed
In the Revolution, which waved over Ameri-
can troops at New Orleans, and which. after
four years. struggle, was raised triumphant
over the capital Of rebellion. In peace, as in
war, the Star Spangled Banner should float,
and float alone as national standard above
the American people.

To kill the income tax, the robber astride of
the Wilson bill, Is the one paramount duty of
Democratic Senators who are Democrats in
fact. Club or shotgun, rapier or knife, no
matter what instrument, so long as the deed
is done. Any measure of obstruction or de-
struction is legitimate, though It involve the
fate of the pebald creature on. which the rob-
ber rides.
That would be true il the tariff part Of the
Wilson bill were the ne plus ultra Of en-
lightened statcsmanship, the last word of
honest Democratic principle. The best tariff
bill ever framed might we'll be doomed TO

to be rid of this Ubiquitous Populistic attach
ment, made it inseparable. No consideration
of the immediate success or failure of tariff
reform could Justify Democrats who are
squarely opposed to the income tax in voting
into existence the greater evil for the sake of
the lesser good

Senator Sherman, in his speech in the
Senate yesterday on the Bland Seignior-
age Coinage bill, made one of the
most able and eloquent appeals
TO that body in the interests
of honesty and faithfulness to the great
trust reposec in it by the people that
was ever made in Congress. 1t was not
a passionate request. but logical ap-
peal to the intelligence and honesty of
the Senate to stay its hand and consider
wisely what the bill really means. His
Characterization Of the bill and his de-
scription of its provisions as follows:
''The bill before us provides for TAX
ing from the Treasury vaults $4,000, 900
of bullion, pledged to the redemption of
the Treasury notes as sacredly as a
mortgage upon land or any other obli-
CATION of public faith. This bullion is
TO be taken, in plain violation of the law
OF 1890, in plain violation of the con-
tract between citizens of the United
States aud the United States at large.
This is breach of public faith which
ought to stamp this measure with the
condemnation of every man who has any
regard for the obligations of contracts.
Dishonest and violation of public
faith are the charges he brings against
the vacuum coinage" measure.
He demonstrated that there is no
''seigniorage" other than a mythical one
obtained by play upon words and
reversal of facts. He declared that the
Government in the purchase Of silver
bullion had not made dollar.
There never had been any foundation
for seigniorage. There could be
no seigniorage in this case be-
cause there had been no profit.
The cost of the silver bullion in
the Treasury was 1926, 200, 900, while its
coinage value was $3.50, 900, 900, and that
difference was the seigniorage for which
the bill provided. The fact was, how
ever, that the present market value of
the silver bullion in the treasury was
only Ssi,OOO,0O0 so that there
had been loss on the transaction
of $i1 ,00o,000-at the market rate today,
80 cents an ounce. The Treasury notes
outstanding against the silver purchased
under the act of 1890 aggregated $780,
100000. So that the amount of loss, in
stead Of gain and seigniorage, was $685.
100000, and against this loss it is pro-
posed to issue 5000, 900 Of silver GER
tifcates.
AS Mr.. Sherman foresees, this is but
the opening wedge for an initiation that
will undermine the financial standing of
the nation and bring ruin and disaster
in the train of the distrust already
created by unwise financial legislation.

OBITUARY..


The Death Of George J. Peterson Of
Marshfield, Mass.
Geo. j. Peterson of Marshfield, Mass,
passed away March after q brief illness
with pneumonia. Thus we are called
upon to chronicle one by one the preserv-
ers and conservators OF our nation and
homes,
Early in life, embracing the anti-slavery
cause, he became identified with Garrison
and his followers, and with voice, pen
and sympathy championed cause which
involves the largest and the most impor-
tant portion OF the history of our great
republic.
In true sense he was one Of Natures
noblemen. A man OF rare integrity and
unyielding principles; yet gentle, gener-
Gus and kind. A rare combination OF
qualities, he ever sought the company
and companionship of his superiors.
These are words of his counsel: "Devote
part OF every day to thought and study,
as part Of your recreation; learn to hear as
well as to speak; learn the severe lesson
protects valuable souls charged with great
secrets, great ideas by shutting them up
with their own thoughts"
He chose agricultural pursuits as
vocation; and here too he carried
with IL all the enthusiasm of his
great love of nature. In 1855 he pur-
chased q choice portion of the DAN
iel Webster estate. The elevation where
the home was established presents the
finest view of the ocean and surrounding
country on the south shore.
lie was representative from his district
on the Massachusetts, Board Of Agricult-
ure from 1887 to 1890. His supreme pleas
ure In later years was in the farmers In
stitutes, guiding with wise council the
future OF agriculture.

H. D. Baldwin was born in July,
1927, in Ira, New York, and lived
there until 1856, going to school dur
ing the first years of his life, and in
1850 commencing the study of law
with G.. w. Miller, of that city. He
continued the study until 1853, when
he was obliged to temporarily aban-
don the same on account of poor
health. During the next three years
he worked on farm, and then moved
TO Dunkirk, Wisconsin, where he re-
NAMED for three years. He came to
Minnesota in 1858, settling in Wilton,
Waseca county, and the following
year was admitted to practice. For
several years he filed the office Of
county attorney and judge of probate
of that county, and in 1871 he moved
to Redwood Falls, and continued his
practice. He was appointed judge of
probate by the governor, and after
wards was twice reelected. He held
the Office of clerk of court at the same
time. In April, 1882, he was appoint
ed Judge of the Ninth Judicial dis
tr;ct nv Gov. T.. F. Hubbard, and
served out the term made vacant by
the proceedings against Judge Cox.
He was made Judge of the Municipal
Court when the city was granted a
charter by the legislature, and held
the office until he resigned, year or
so ago.
He was married to Angelina Marvin,
June 80, 1852, at Lysander, New York,
and they have four living children.

FROM whence THE LOAN.
The Commissioners will Have tt
Figure on Finance Next Week.

At the next meeting eff the county
board, that body will be called upon
to determine very important ques-
ton. The question of securing the
money for the purpose of building a
county Jail has been agitating the
members considerable of late, the
State having offered the same to the
county at the rate of five per cent.
interest, with an ION or before" clause
attached to the bonds to be given for
a security of the loan. An Eastern
firm, has however, written to Auditor
Anderson, asking whether Jail bonds
could be purchased, and when ques-
toned as to whether the firm would
be willing to take the same at less
than five per cent. interest, the eastern
house replied that in all probabilities
it would and pay a small premium for
the same. The ION or before" clause
was not mentioned, however, and as
the county will probably be able to
pay for the bonds before they mature
the commissioners are compelled to
look into the dim future and ascertain
of which party it would be for the best
interests of the county to secure the
loan.
