CURRENT COMMENT.
MCKINLEY AND THE PLATFORM.
Gardner Reporter.

Gardner Reporter
Mr. Mckinley says he will not now
speak on the currency question, as he has
IL 0 desire to dictate the platform. That
probably means that be is willing to
stand upon any platform that is erected
for him. In this case it is probable that
The platform Will be all right, but good
many Republicans would prefer to have
q man who had some ideas Of his own TO
start with, and who is not afraid to have
I'll en- known. He has perfect right TO
dictate the platform if be is expected to
represent it.
THE THING FOR THE DEMOCRACY
Springfield Union.)
There Is then but ono thing for the
Democracy to do. It should nominate
Mr.. Cleveland on an honest money
plank. II it can't get gold plank, strad-
die the question, but nominate Cleveland
anyhow. Then there would be fuI,. The
Republican convention will nominate q
protectionist and honest money man on
platform of that character. The fight
would be between protection and Cleve-
lands tariff il the Democrats should be
sound on money. The Republicans would
welcome that If the Democrats should
straddle finance and still stick to Cleve-
land. the Republ cans would be even bet
ter pleased. They would win easily. But
the Democrats should 90 one thing above
all things, and that is nominate Cleve-
land. Then the issue between protection
and free trade would be clear.
A CURIOUS REPORT.
ALBANY Journal.)
A Washington dispatch declares the
President seriously contempletes send
inc q tn Cnv7pr0oa rnhI1 inn
for remissness to provide more revenue.
In the words OF the immortal Mr..
Squeers. "Here's richness for you.''
Such message would indeed be a
literary and statcsmanlike treasure.
Cleveland the FREQ trader, Cleveland the
tariff smasher, who tore down and would
have destroyed the system that always
Gent revenue for the government s,needs
Cleveland the tariff smasher, holding
the Republican party up to scorn, for its
failure to provide more revenue!
Mr.. Cleveland has done a great many
queer things in his time, bat such mes
sage would be the quesrest.
A SUGGESTION.
concord Monitor.)
The refusal of Biddeford's mayor to
license circus to show in that city on
Memorial day brings up again the ques-
ton OF secularizing that day of sacred
memories and the suggestion comes
again that the Memorial day services
should he merged with those of Memo
rial Sunday SO as to give their observance
the sanctity and solell nifty which arc due
them. There is no doubt that Memorial
day ia being diverted from it's original
solemn and commemorative purpose and
is becoming day of ball games, bicycle
meets and horse races. The number of
those so poor TO do honor to the valiant
dead seems growing smaller every year

Cadet Society of Lost Creek was also very
creditable and the joint appearance of the
Knights of Annunciation and Phoenix Hose
Company occasioned much favorable COM
ment. They wore civilian dress and white
gloves and carried canes. The Patriotic
Drum Corps appeared in neat new uniforms
consisting of blue sack coats and cap and
white duck trousers. The hearse bear
ing the flowers was filed to its capacity,
with a most beautiful collection. The
donations were very large.
Upon reaching the odd Fellows cemetery
the committee of the day escorted the orator,
Rev. d. 1. Evans pastor of the Welsh Baptist
church, to the G. A. r. plot, followed by
members of Watkin Waters Post, the Sons of
Veterans and members of the Women's Re-
lief Corps and Ladies' Aid Society. A circle
was formed about the graves and the service
as prescribed by the ritual of the Grand Army

followed by discharge of three salutes over
the graves of the veterans and the benediction.
The Grafton was not lengthy one, but full
of ringing patriotic sentiments delivered
with force and conviction.
Following this part of the program came
the exercises of the public school children.
They were exceedingly impressive and added
greatly to the splendid observance of the
day. There was an address on Gettysburg
by Miss Name Monaghan, defamation
entitled, lode for Decoration Day" by Miss
Emma G. Llewellyn a reading THE Union
Soldier" by Miss Gerte Kirk; and an
effective defamation entitled, Cover Them
Over" by Miss Name Conway. These were
interspersed by patriotic songs such as
America" Before All Lands" and
Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, thus
serving to impress with greater force upon
the minds of the old and young the duty to
honor the memories of those who fought so
n0bly to preserve the union and made a
glorious climax to an observance of the day
Of which the citizens may feel proud.

Mr.. Ogle read a letter from the Blue

Co., asking that committees of the
Board of Trade and Commercial Club
be appointed to consult with the COM
pany. The company is ready to go

that if an exchange is not put in,
then a toll business might be ar
ranged for. In talking with the bust

sentiment against another telephone
exchange, because all the leading
business men would have to have both
systems, although some thought that
might lower the rates.
After voting that committee of
three be appointed to meet the tele-

A DAYS OUTING.

One year we decided to spend our
Fourth of July at MinneOpa Falls
Mamma had things all ready the
day before. We got started early in
the morning and mad nice ride. Ii
was cool and pleasant. We got there
SO early we had time TO play croqueu.
My cousin had cannon and he was
shooting that off and at last the train
came along and he thought he could
not make as big d noise as the train 50
he loaded his cannon as full as he
could and shot it off. 1t broke the
cannon all to pieces. Fortunately
nobody was killed. My auntie came
and brought some of her family on
the train. Soon after we prepared
dinner. AS there were no tables we
spread our table cloths on the grass
under the trees little ways above
the Falls. Dinner was already, with
a pail of lemonade which we set by d
tree. We were just ready to sit down
when auntie saw boy coming very
fast on velOcipede right towards the
bank Of the Falls which was few
feet away. She was frightened and
called to him to stop, which he did
very suddenly and sat right down in
our pail of lemonade. He jumped up
and ran away as fast as he could anu
that was the last we saw of him that
day, but Our lemonade was gone. For
tunately we had few lemons left and
papa got some ice and auntie and
mamma made another pail of lemon
AIDE. We were careful that no acct
dent would happen to it. We enjoyed
the lemonade with our dinner. We
picked up the dishes and what was
left from dinner and put them in the
basket. Then we went down the hill
to the Falls.
When we got down below the Falls
all of US children went in wading. We
played in the water while and then
came out and gathered ferns. Then
we went up above the Falls. We had
lunch and when we were nearly
ready to go home the lady at the de-
pot asked us if we would like to come
in and see their little foxes. There
were three of them. We went in and
she would throw slices of bread to
them. One of the foxes was stronger
than the others. He would run and
get the bread and if the others would
come to get some he would kick them
away. She threw more pieces but he
took them. He kept taking them till
he got his mouth so full that he went
away to eat. Then the Others came
and ate some. There were tall boards
which they could run up very well. /
think they could climb about as we'll
as mice can.
We got heme safe and sound but
were tired after our days pleasure.

STONE QUARRY PURCHASED.
The Mankato Lime and Stone Co. to
the Front.

Yesterday negotiations were closed
whereby w. B. Craig sells TO the
Mankato Lime and Stone Co. his
quarry and all of the machinery and
buildings. The real estate includes
six acres Of unopened quarry ledge,
finely located, and with ample rail-
road facilities. The quarry has been
closed down during the winter, but a
force of men will be put to work at
once. as possession has already been
given.
The company, by the purchase, not
only comes in possession of this fine
quarry, with it's unsurpassed stone,
but secures two gang saws for making
sawed stone, two steam drills, a new
stone crusher, and all the tools, der
ricks, ETC., that are employed in the
work Ola first class quarry. Itwould
be difficult matter to find quarry
that is in every way better equipped,
and with it's growing lime business,
the company is now in position to
do business anywhere and against all
competitors.
The Mankato Lime and Stone Co. is
composed of Geo. Pass, Alexander
Bashaw, A. Schippel and Williams,
and is one or the solid institutions of
Mankato. These gentlemen are all
well known citizens and men who
stand well in the community, and the
company ought to do large business
during the coming season. The eX-
tensive stone and lime plant which it
now has, and the company's push and
activity, will be.a hard combination
to successfully meet.
