doubt that if we (meaning England) had
purely democratic government here,
the effect would be the same Gas IN
France in 184S). Either the poor would
plumber the rich, and civilization would
perish, or order and property would be
saved by strong, military government,
and liberty would PERISH" These are
the dangers against which it is the duty
of American citizens to stapd guard. In
my opinion the proper authorities are
too reluctant in calling in the aid of the
military authorizes in such cases. When
mobs are resisting the DEGREES Of courts
and destroying life and property, why
should governors or presidents allow
them to pursue their course, endanger
life and property and paralyze business
for weeks or months, when the presence
of a regiment of soldiers would restore
order and allow business to proceed in
an hour? The civil authorities should
be held to the strictest performance of
their duties in securing the rights of all
persons; and the courts should feel and
| understand that they have behind them
the strong power Of the military author
| tiles in enforcing their DEGREES when
necessary. Governors and presidents
have been unaccountably reluctant in
calling upon the military authorities for
the performance of this duty, but the
military authorities have always per-
formed their duties promptly and efficl-
emily when called upon, and have never
shown any disposition to use unnecessary
force or to lmperil liberty by the impo-
sitlon of a strong military government,
and, in my opinion, the dismal 'forbod-
ing of Macauley is without foundations.
Minnesota.
Capt.. Edwards of Company I of AL
bert Lea responded to the toast, "Min-
nesota." He said:
Minnesota, tie home of a thousand
crystal lakes, of verdant plains and fertile
valleys, upon thy hillsldes clusters the
brilliant golden rod and IN thy valleys
wave fields Of golden grain. The gener-
Gus god of plenty with prodigal hand
has scattered his favors oyer hill and
dale until our beautiful state has become
the garden spot of the world. Her pro-
ductive soil is nursed by thrifty hands
and industry is the entertainment of her
people. Minnesota most glorious
spot in a glorious nation-whe ere man.
hood has a meaning and womanhood is
sacred, where with every breath Of our
northern bracing air we inhale the spirit
Of true patriotism-thy name is the
charm which binds thy sons together.
It was the sweet recollection of thy
pleasant homes which soothed our fever
stricken brows while wasting away upon
southern beds of pain. 1t was the an
ticipation of thy CHEEKY welcome await
ing our return, which sustained our
courage during dreary days of monoto-
nous inactivity.
The record which Minnesota has made
since she became state IS indeed envla-
bic. Southern battlefelds still bear evil
dence to the strength of her manhood
and grand and mighty monuments elo-
quently tell of the valor of her sons.
On foreign fields of blood her banner
has been unfurled and, by those we
know and love bravely, carried forward
to victory.
Her patriotism is we'll illustrated in
the men of the gallant Twelfth, who,
when our nation was smarting under the
sting of insult offered by an insolent
foe, were the first to fly to arms to
avenge the wrong and preserve untarn-
ished the spotless fame Of the stars and
stripes.
Here then to Minnesota, the synonym
of all that is good and great, brave and
true! May she as state survive forev-
er. May her glory never grow less than
the gallant Twelfth wishes for her.
The Navy.
The toast, s'The United States Navy
was responded to by Editor johnson
He said in substance as follows:
/ don't think that Col. Bobleter took
into consideration what hard PROPOSE

up against or he would not have calle@
