BLOOMINGTON Rotes.

"Greater love hath no man than

1t has been many years since tho
people Of Bloomington failed to

their appreciation of the great love
manifested in the extreme sacri-
fees made by the noble patriots
who fought, bled and died for the
freedom from oppression and ty-
rany. While more demonstrative
and ostentatious celebrations have
been witnessed, we believe that one
more distinguished for it's pleasur-
able serenity and enjoyment has
never been had here. If human
happiness is an indication Of graft

REFoRM LONG WAY oFF.

When the revenues of the govern
ment are adequate to meet its expenses,
says the president in prefacing his
little-Iiver- pill relief for our diseased
currency, then we may just begin re-
forming by hanging on to the green
backs and treasury notes redeemed IN
gold until some one tenders gold for
them. The condition precedent to this
faint beginning is what makes that be-
ginning a matter Of a future SO dis
tant and fraught with such possibili-
ties Of changed conditions meantime as
to make 1t probable that when the time
arrives for administering the pill to the
patient he will be either moribund or
conva1escent.
It is very evident from an inspection
of the report Of Secretary Gage that
the presidents remedy, tentative and
weak as it is, cannot be applied, under
the condition he names until after 1899.
1t is not to be believed that the Sec
rotary Of the treasury has not put the
best possible aspect on the situation in
his estimates of income and outgo for
the ensuing two years, for which this
session of congress must make provi-
sion. Naturally, under past and present
conditions, he would make income as
large as he felt was safe and outgo as
little But he cannot figure out sur
plus for either of the fiscal years. He
estimates that there will be shortage
of $2S, 00OO 900 next June. and one of $21,-
647, 600 June 90, 1899. Granting that he
is within bounds in his estimates, the
condition under which the president
says reform of the currency can be un-
dertaken will not arrive until the con-
gress chosen next November meets in
December 1899
mates that make it doubtful whether
the deficits will be as modest as the
secretary shows. For the year 1898 he
estimates the postal expenditures at
SOC. 900, and the receipts at the same
amount. Nothing in the history of that
department warrants this optimism.
The following table shows the receipts
and expenditures each year since 1883,
with the balance over on the wrong
side of the ledger, whether the times
were good or bad:

PIONEER PRESS BOUQUETS.
Handing Itself Flowers at an Inop-
perfume Time.

The Pioneer Press handed itself a
few bouquets yesterday, which was
perhaps all right, except for the fact
that the petals were blown before the
ink was dry on the paper. On the front
page Of the paper yesterday morning,
in advertising type under a caption at

what great newspaper it is getting
to be, how it furnishes the news and
all the news" and concludes by saying
"The public appreciates this reliability
for it has become a common saying,
IF you wish to find out all about an
event get a Pioneer Press"
Then the flowers wilt because the
reader turns over a page and finds
fourteen columns devoted to "city
notices of sale"
On another page is a story about
making Fort Smelling Brigade Post"
the idea being furnished by "a promi-
nent officer of the department of Dallo-
ta." Gen. Wade says that no army
officer would use such terms as are
contained in the Pioneer Press story,
so that if the interview were furnished
by an army officer the reporter must
have fearfully misquoted him. Besides,
Gen. Wade says the interview is full of
misstatements; that neither Fort
Leavenworth nor st. Louis is depart
ment headquarters. much less brigade
hcadquarters,'' and on top Of all, Gen.
wade says, there is not a brigade head

From whatever side one approaches
the scheme for national university, it
appears to be dangerous and objection
able We need no such institution, be-
cause the higher education is being
abundantly cared for by private gifts
and endowments, such as those that
have created the great University Of
Chicago, and by the munificence Of the
states, which keeps full pace with the
demand for such education, if it does
not actually outrun it. If the national
government is to go into the business Of
providing education and paying for IL,
against which we should most earnestly
protest, it ought at least to avoid the
error of states and cities and begin
at the foundation Of the building, in
stead of putting a gorgeous roof on
empty air. The common school, and
not the academy, the college or the
university, IS the point Of attack.

SOLDIERS HOME SHORTAGE.
Some Close Figuring Necessary for u
Few Months.

There is a decided shortage in the
funds of the Minnesota Soldiers home,
and the cash will run short before the
winters work is over; so says Secre-
tary l. H. B. Beebe. The last legisla-
ture cut off the 900 annual allow
ance of the soldiers home, making it's
maintenance dependent upon the state
tax of one-tenth Of one mill, which also
provides for the outside relief fund.
This yields a revenue of from 100000
to S70,000-last year it was $4,000
and deducting the $4,000 leaves only
$43, 900 to carry on the outside work,
which runs up as high as $4,000 month
during the winter. The home is also
assisted by the government allowance,
and also from the pensions Of inmates,
all except 81 per month being held out
for this purpose.
At present there is only $4,000 on
hand available for this outside work
and this must carry it along until
March or April, when a settlement
will be made of the personal property
tax collections. This necessitates very
close figuring and the careful scrutinfz-
ing of every application for aid, and in
this the persons drawing pensions must
be stricken from the list, except in eX-
IRENE cases. Furthermore, the receipts
will hereafter only carry the work
along from hand to mouth" and
still more serious condition stares the
board in the face year hence.
