ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, Father Dou-
cey and Mr.. Henry George, express
themselves as delighted with the defeat
of the democratic party at the recent
election. And this, too, though the A.
P. A. was great factor in effecting that
defeat, and though free silver, the
single tax and low tariff, the latter's
protested principles, went down with
the wreck. But there is nothing too
inconsistent for humanity.

THE republican press throughout the
country says the people at Tuesdays
election declared for protective tariff.
If that be so, what did they declare for
in 1890 and 1892, after long and un-
interrupted high tariff? If what the
republican press says in respect of the
matter referred to be true, this vari-
ableness of popular declaration on the
same identical question increases the
doubt concerning the idea once gen.
orally accepted by those unfamiliar
with human nature, that the voice of
the people is the voice of God.

Turner Hall was we'll filled with peo-
pie on Sunday evening, owing to the con-
cert given by the local haennerchor and
Mankato Liedertafel. The program was
a lengthy one but it was carried through
hurriedly and afforded general satisfac-
ton. As deserving of particular and in
dividual mention were the violin duet
and trio, led by VIM. Pfaender Jr. and
accompanied by Prof.Jache. The music
was of a pleasing nature and elected en-
thusiastic appla use. Mrs. Bollmann was
cordially greeted and as often recalled
and her singing being artistic and delight
full as usual. VIM. Pfaender Jr. and 4.
j.. Alvin sang an agreeable duet as did
also Prof. Jache and Mr.. Bisselbach, the
voice OF Prof. Jache appearing in the lat
ter to 81 lendid advantage. The selections
by the two societies we're we'll received.
Mr., Jache has a wonderful command
over his singers and the splendid har.
mony with which their voices blend in
the most difficult music is entertaining
to say the least. The "Serenade" was
as good as anything ever delivered by
chorus in New Ulm. The Maennerchor
has picked up wonderfully of late and
Mr.. Pfaender is to be congratulated on
the WORK he is doing with his various
voices. The song. "Die Kunst'' demon
strated this clearly and added consider
ably to the favor in which the society is
held.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Schools and Education to Be Properly Looked After-An Important Meet
 ing of the Committee.

The committee on schools and education of the Commercial club had not been or- ganized with the other standing commit tees, owing to the absence of Dr. J. H. Phillips, the temporary chairman; but this committee met at the rooms of the club on yesterday afternoon with a very full att tendance and effected permanent organ iZatlon.
 pr. Phillips was made permanent chair man, and degree of interest was mani tested by the members that speaks much for the labors of this committee during the year.
 On motion of Dr. T. M. Allen a com mittee was appointed to appear before the directors of the club and explaia the ur- gency of a report to the club direct at as early moment as possible on the neces- sity of having the board of aldermen re- scind the action taken at their last meet ing relating to the schools of the city.
 The board of directors of the club will be called possibly for Monday afternoon next to hear what this committee will have to say touching action by the entire club, and if they deem it best a called meeting of the club will be held one day next week, when the report of this special committee will be presented.
 This promises to be working com- mittee and will materially aid the Com- mercial club in it's work of looking after the cause of education and schools, and adds nother link that will bind the club closer to Birmingham and her varied in- terests.

A LUCKY PURCHASE.

The day for making fortunes in Bir- mingham has not yet passed. Out near fro tbe S rapse the this spur is limestone quarry. It was bought several months ago by Messfsi ] Spencer and Meissner for $500, and today it could not be bought for $20, 900. The limestone turned out to be doiomite, and is very valuable for f1uxing purposes at the furnaces. The stone contains 9S per cent of lime. 1t forms 8 steep bluff and the railroad track runs just underneath. The stone is blasted. loaded on the cars and shipped to the North Birmingham fur- naces, some two or three miles distant. The Sloss company uses the total output oi the quarry, and when the Vanderbilt fur mace goes into blast the output will be fn ! creased. Not only is this stone valuable in making iron, but when burned into lime becomes a valuable fertilizer. The mine is inexhaustible and there is enough stone to enrich all the farming lands in
 Jefferson county.

VICTORY FOR BIRMINGHAM IRON.

VICTORY FOR BIRMINGHAM IRON.
 It has been a hard fought battle, but Birmingham has won. Birmingham iron first conquered the Southern territory, and then it laid siege to the Eastern cities. Ignominious defeat was predicted, but one Eastern market after another yielded to the victorious march of Birmingham iron, and laid down it's arms. Not tcontent with these ? victories Birmingham entered Chicago. Here was the battle royal. Chicago is nearly 800 miles from Birmingham, is near the Lake Superior ore beds. and in speak ing distance of the great Ohio iron pro- ducing region. It has unexcelled trans portation facilities by land and water, and is the pet of the railroads. It is the cheap est iron market in the northwest. Surely Northern iron had fortified itself here in an impregnable position and was secure from the assaults of Birmingham. But day by day Birmingham undermined this impenetrable wall aud today is camping on those grounds, and Birmingham has won the victory notwithstanding the long marching distance aud the baggage she had to carry in the shape of s. .25 ton freight. These successive victories are equal to the victories of Napoleon-frst Lodi, then Arcola and then Austeritz. The story of this conflict and it's victory for the South is an interesting one. At first the Northwestern iron masters looked with but little concern upon the encroach- ments of the Birmingham iron. But grad ually they aWoke to the formidable char acter of the foe they had to meet. Then they set themselves to rout the enemy. They realized the fact that Birmingham iron is foundry iron. and it is a necessity in manufacturing, and there is not great deal of it made in this country. And they were brought face 10 face with the further fact that Southern iron mixed with North ern iron made much more workable arti- cle, and that the greatest strength of the Northern article could not be obtained without the use of the Southern output. Tae Northwestern men were forced to ad- nit these facts, but they hoped by more skill in making iron, proximity to market and other advantages 10 remain ruler of their domain. But these hopes were blasted. The Birmingham fur mace managers exercised their in- genuity and reduced by one-half the cost of making iron. It is a remarkable fact that the furnaces in this district now turn out 2C0 tons day each, while 100 tons day was considered good furnace output. Then the Birmingham men were backed up by unexcelled natural advantages, and they obtained their labor some cheaper than be- fore. But all these advantages would prob ably have proved of no avail if the railroads had not lent their valuable aid by reducing freight rates. This they did, and the vic- tory was won.

 I see in your paper that MT. Greer of our place denied burning his certificate. The facts are these: Mir. Greer exchanged his certificate with democrat, and the demo- crat burned MT. Greer's certificate and MT. Greer burned the democrat's. This was done after MT. Greer presided over the Calera convention. Mr. Greer stated to the democrat that he was not going to vote for MT.
