TT WILL,

The London Globe says: "The
American republic is on trial, and it is
doubtful if it can stand the strain"
The royal alarmists of Europe have
expressed grave fears about the
stability of republican institutions, but
their pessimistic views have been met
with optimistic views, and the republic
still stands, to warrant the conclusion
that this country IS forever Sc:
upon the invulnerable rock of consti-
t%utional government.
This nation has passed through
many trials, and its form of govern
ment today is sacred to every inhab-
liant from the unsalted seas to the
golden gulf.
The dark and ominous cloud of civil
war, %surcharged with the accumulated
wrath of years, has lowered above our
horizon. 1t has now sunk back into
the ocean, from whence it came. The
brooding wings of peace shelter and
guard us DER. That irrepressible on
fict between north and south, which
arrayed two millions of men, sundered
families, broke countless hearts, and
left this country PROSTATE after march
and countermarch of contending hosts,
has passed into history so far that now,
not thirty years since AppOmatox, its
actors seem indeed remote figures of a
~far-receding antiquity.
The American people bled and died
for freedom. They endured the hard
ships of wal that they might enjoy the
sweetness of peace, and in the cruel
school of England's tyranny they have
learned how to appreciate secure and
liberal government.
The London Globe and its pessimistic
contemporaries need have no fear cOn-
corning the stability of our institutions.
Our government IS the result OF
E~ngland's tyranny, and though it was
an experiment for three quarters of a
century, it has long since demonstrated
its right and power to exist and to
grow in fame and civic virtues. The
present internal troubles fade like
.signis fatui' in the fierce glare of that
stupendous and vanished civil war.
France has been less fortunate than
the United States, yet we see that
country, which was onc 10 fatal 10
freedoms cause, now enjoying the
benefactions of a free government.
She has withstood the trials, and her
people are contented and happy.
The republic has come to stay. ''GOd
reigns, and the government at Wash
ington still lives"

Ladies' and Gentlemen.

G. d. Taylor, the jeweler OF Man
kato, wishes to call your attention to
Diamonds, etc. The summer OF 1893
you know the bottom was out on trade
all through the country banks closed
and a general depression in business
generally. That summer he bought a
lot of loose diamonds from bank
rupt importer. You know there is %
per cent. duty on these goods now.
He has got the finest lot of stones you
ever saw, that will weigh from / karat
to II karats, that you can buy OF him
for 25 per cent. less than you can buy
same goods from any wholesale house
in America, and you do not have to
pay the duty on this lot, but the next
lot he gets will be 25 per cent. higher.
Now is your time to buy diamonds If
ever, because the above are facts, and
please do not forget that @. d. has
got and is receiving daily now, twice
the goods that any other house in
Minnesota carries, except say one or
two houses in the Twin Cities. All
goods bought direct from factories. at
first Wholesale jobbing prices. Never
before has Mankato seen such a mann
moth stock as G. d. has got. Nearly
200 feet of showcases in length, and
fully overlooking, at prices never be-
fore heard of. Six sterling teaspoons
for $3.50, and other goods in proper
tion. Five pieces teaset quadruple
plate for SIS, other goods in proportion.
Call and look at the goods he has and
you will be surprised.

LOOK OUT FOR EPIDEMICS.
Too Much Care Cannot Be Taken this
Winter.

"People should be careful this WIN
ter about coming in contact with con-
tagious diseases" said well-knoWn
musician to FREE PRESS reporter
this morning. ''Where quarantine
cards are displayed are the places to
avoid, and the occupants OF these
same premises should be careful to live
up to the law covering such cases fol
there are severe penalties attached to
the violation thereof.
Frequently an entire family Will
come down with scarlet fever or dlph-
liberia through the most unlocked FOL
source. A pet cat going from house
to house often carries the disease
about, while in other cases assocl-
alton with the patient does not re-
suit seriously. One of the sufferers
in the city from contagious disease
caught it through a letter from a
ladv friend who was just recovering,
and the patient has had serious time
of it.
"It is best for those with children
to be on the safe side and affiliate as
little as possible with those who nave
been exposed to these diseases.
