The catalogue of Pillsbury Acad-
envy, located at Owatonna, has been
received. The institution is 10 years
old and has faculty of "a teachers
at the present time. The Academy
has three regular courses of study and
special courses in music and art, and
is good preparatory institution. The
buildings are large and fitted with
modern appointments. The advan-
tages in music are said to be superior
to those of other academies OF like
kind. The catalogue shows an at
tendance of nearly 300 during the
year just closed, and as it is the pur-
pose of the institution to furnish the
best education at the lowest cost it is
probable that the membership will be
greatly increased next year.

THE 6ANDER'S SAUCE.

Our excellent St. Paul evening con-
temporary, the Dispatch, in recent
issue took precisely the same stand as
The GAZETTE on the question of cheap
excursions to the department stores of
St. Paul and Minneapolis, until re-
Gently conducted by the Minneapolis
& St. Louis railroad. From the Dis
patch article it appears that Chicago
has been inducing the railroad CON-
panies having lines in the Western
and middle States to provide for
cheap rate excursions to that city for
the purpose of building up trade, and
in making its protest for St. Paul.
Minneapolis and other western cities
against the proposed action, the Dis
patch contends that the railroad COM
panies must heed it's remarks, if Chi
cago does not. The Dispatch con-
tends that St. Paul, Minneapolis, Om-
aha and other cities have as much
right to invade the business territory
Of the country merchant as Chicago
has to invade theirs. This is doubt
less true but The GAZETTE maintains
that it would be poor business policy
for any of these cities to carry on the
invasion, because the wholesalers and
railroad companies would be the los
ers of business from the country mer-
chant. The Dispatch continues by
saying that cit is proper for the rail-
roads to make a special rate which
would offer a premium to the St. Paul
merchant who deals with Chicago,
then it is equally proper for them to
make rate which will induce the citi-
zens of Mankato, Moorhead and
Brainerd to come to st. Paul and pur-
chase their supplies, to the discomfit-

ure and exclusion of the home mer-
chant. The whole theory is wrong in
principle and opposed to the spirit of
the interstate commerce law, which
was framed for the purpose of pre-
venting just such unfair discrimina
ton. Chicago can easily retain her
commercial supremacy without such
aid as she demands of the railroads,
and, if she cannot, she does not de-
serve to retain it. Supply and de-
mand, production and transportation,
capital and labor-these are the legiti-
mate factors in the upbuilding of trade,
and any unfair discrimination in favor
of one locality is a direct and offensive
attack on all others. If Chicago wants
to retain her hold on the country and
keep the trade she has, she will do
we'll to refrain from such demand as
that recently made. We have an open
waterway to the sea and a port at Du-
luth that will make things unpleasant

jorjty in the Senate do themselves, the
country, and the President injustice.

Isn't it a little cheeky for lot Of
foreign nations who have nothing to
do with our affairs to be offering "pro-
tests" against our tariff, especially as
nearly all of them have protective
tariffs of their own against which we
have never offered remonstrance o.
any sort? And isn't it rather cool for
them to hint at retaliation against any
tariff which we may adopt, when near
ly every one of them knows that to do
this would disturb commercial rela-
tons with us in which the balance of
trade is enormously in their favor?

for the Windy City if she seeks to
grasp too much"
"What's sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander," is an old saying. If
St. Paul and Minneapolis, through
terminal railroad companies, propose
to carry on the theft of business from
our local merchants, there are other
cities from which we can buy our
goods at wholesale, and Redwood
Falls, at least, has railroad which so
far has refused to bow to the depart
ment stores of St. Paul and Minneap-
oils, and over which our goods can be
brought.
The sooner St. Paul and Minneap-
oils wholesalers wake up to this petty
theft on part of their department
stores, the easier will it be to prevent
our business relations with those two
cities from being dangerously strained
"a strain which The GAZETTE would
be very sorry to see.

The shepherd folk OF Teneriffe and

and the first recorded notice of it WAS
made by French traveller as far back
as l455. Since then stray wanderers
have called the worlds attention, At

Some years ago, while roaming, vita

Perhaps they are having some difficult

any rate, if you listen, you will soon
hear them in the thick of an earnest

Logeard, the we'll known French
savant, has conclusively proved that
the whistling is in Spanish. Easy
words are taken, and the sounds imi-
tated by the whistlers. Long prac-
tice and heredity have given the shep-

vocabulary is quite long one, and, in
addition, they have u regular code of
