TnG April or Easter number of
1oiletteS was a revelation of beautiful

none which give as large variety of

whose fame is known the world
over, and who do not send their contri-
buttons broadcast to fashion magazines
generally. The current number OF
1oilettes gives early indication of what
we may expect TO witness in the way of
summer costumes. Dainty things in
lace and chiffon, surah and guipure, and
do not forget crepon. The last named
material appears to be the favorite. No
less than eighteen separate and new de-
signs of the popular puff sleeve are
given, each one of which reveals un-
thought of developments in the way of
artistic drapery for the arms and
shoulders. No less than $50 separate
designs by actual count fill the book,
and make it worth more than double
the price generally charged for fashion
magazine. Yet it only costs little more
than one-half the amount asked for t e
more pretentions journals, and ON this
score alone its popularity would be
easily explained. 20 cents. At all

THERE was another meeting of poll
ticians here today TO reconcile some of
the differences in the late slate. Senator
Moss is determined, il is said, to make a
fight for denomination To the State
Senate and his many friends are as de-
termined rs he is. In the event of such
Il thing, it will no doubt result in an in
dependent ticket being put i'll the field
which would mean defeat to the regular
or combine ticket aud walk over for
the Republicans. 1t is said the Moss
and Brashears factions will come to-
gether and make fight for their side Of
the house. The Bannon-B ond-Nutwell
-Wells-Potee combine are now appar-
emily pulling together, but it is believed
by many there is not much sincerity in
some of the members, and that it is
only another move to stab Wells in the
dark. In conversation today with
several prominent politicians from the
county, they state that the people
will not support the ticket named for
them to vote by the combine, and will
ignore il at the polls.

THE April Rerieu Of Reriecs COM

passed, especially in the southern lati-
tudes of our own country and in the
British Isles. The erection of a snow
statue OF Washington in New Orleans
late in February and the freezing over
of the Thames below LondC II Bridge in
the same month are two events which
fully Justify the Recie,c in pronouncing

lenient manner towards certain
other persons OF the criminal
cl,,sses in East Grand Forks.
While perhaps these proceed
ings on the part of Judge Ives
were extraordinary and unusual,
nevertheless the minority OF the
Judiciary COMMITTEES were able
to find ample presidents and JUS
tification for the conduct OF
Judge Ives in these particular
instances.
1t is a common custom on the
part OF the state, when prosecut-
ing criminals, to use one class for
the conviction OF another. II
this he permissible on the part
Of county prosecuting officers,
by and with the consent OF the
presiding Judge, in whom the ul-
innate power resides, and whose
approval must first he obtained,
why is it not entirely justitiable
for the court alone to exerc ise
such power and authority?
Some OF the most sensible things
which the Legislature has done
since it ssnmbled, and some of
the most practical sayings which
/ have occurred in the House dur
ing the winter, occurred and were
said on the occasion of last even
ing's debate.
One member remarked that he
was not willing to put the State
Of Minnesota to the expense OF
$40, 900 in a speculative case OF
this sort, where the chances were
very largely in favor of the de.
PENDANT for the mere purpose ol
besmirching a mans character
and gratifying personal or politi.
cal spite. The point was well
taken: So long as the State OF
Minnesota cannot afford to ap
propriate more than one-half the
sums of, money for educationa
purposes, which the officials il
charge of the various public in
situations of learning demand
we are inclined to think that il
would be equivalent to highway
robbery to take from the taxes
of the people $4,000 to expent
on Il political trial.
Representative Gibbs from
Freebo.n county may rest us
smed that he has lost no friends
in the stand he has taken in this
attempted persecution of Judge
Ives, and that the people OF thu
state will not forget his declara
ton that she would rather bt
right than to be Governor.

President Cleveland to write a
letter on the money question.

have read it.

letter in answer which we pre-
sent below.
Chicago, April 16.-W. II.
Harvey, chairman of the execu-
tive committee OF the Bimetallic
League, whose Headquarters are
in Chicago, prepared yesterday
the following reply to President
Cleveland's letter to the Chicago
committee of business men:
ITO His Excellency, Grover
Cleveland: In reply to your
letter addressed to a committee
of business men Of this city we
wish to say that the committee
that waited ON YOU and the
persons who attached their
names to the petition such COM
mittee presented, did not repre-
sent a majority of the business
men and citizens of this city who
take a deep interest in the welfare
Of this republic. They repre-
sented that class that owns
money and securities payable in
money-fxed incomes.
eve respectfully submit that
your letter does not present the
true merits of this controversy.
You call the attention of farmers
and wage earners to. the fact that
rising prices, while enabling then,
to sell their products and labor
at a higher price, will also cause
them to pay equal more for what
they may purchase, but you
neglect to say that your state
ment is not applicable to debts.
With prices coming. down regu-
larly and steadily since the de-
monetization Of silver, our mer-
chants, manufacturers and people
generally have been doing bust
ness on a failing market, SO that

purchase of their merchandise or
raw material and placing: it
