the idea that the Democrats were going
to "gerrymander'' the city wards satur-
day, it was obliged to crawl out Of its
blunder through a very small hole. 1t
discovered what every one else already
knew, that under the law no changes
could be made at this time.
That the original story was made out
of whole cloth cannot be better proven
thar by adverting to the fact that eleven
of the twelve wards, which make up this
city, are already Democratic.

THE Journal thinks it wrong that
some comparatively young teachers We're
made vice principals in preference to old
ones. 1t was not wrong. The only way
to secure efficiency in such places is to
appoint young and vigorous teachers.
None of those chosen were too short a
time in the service to be endowed with
experience. And, given the necessary ex-
perience, the younger the appointees are
the better for the children and the
schools.

When the head of the column
reached Capitol Hill, the site of the
new capitol, there was already an in-

them. Too much credit cannot be Civ

unpleasant feature. Seats were p7ovid-

the wheat heads are filling well, and
harvest is expected about Aug. 10.
Premature ripening and rust are re-
ported in many places, but the area
so affected is probably small COM

Winter wheat rye and barley are
nearly all in shock, and threshing has
begun. with good yields Oats have
ripened very rapidly, and though the

box, made of copper, we have placed
various articles and memorials indica-
tive of our progress in art, literature
and agriculture. list of which will be
read by Nathaniel P Langford"
AS those on the platform were about
to move to the site of the corner stone,
Judge Flandrau stepped to the platform
and in Jew words presented ex-Gover-
nor Ramsey with silver trowel to be
used in the laying of the stone The
ex-governor thanked him briefly, and
also took occasion to thank the citizens
OF st. Paul and OF the state of Minneso-
ia for the great honor conferred upon
him.
The scene was then changed from the
platform to the corner stone. Stand
ing upon the massive granite block Mr.
Langford read the list of the articles
which had been placed in the metallic
box. When he had finished Gov
Clough turned to the members of the
capitol commission and asked them to
place the box in its position in the cor
ner stone. The commissioners person.
ally did this work, assisted by Gov.
Clough. an ex-officio member of the
commission.
When this portion of the ceremony
had been concluded, Gov. Cough, turn
ing to ex-Gov. Ramsey, said:
1T gives me great pleasure to now
call upon Our honored fellow citizen.
Alexander Ramsey. the first territorial
governor of Minnesota, man who has
resided among us and watched with
pride the wonderful growth. of this
state, since 184o, to lay the corner
stone"
With his silver trowel in his hand the
venerable governor slowly, and with
bowed head, walked to his position. As
the huge stone slowly descended not a
sound could be heard but the putting
of the engine away up above the plat
form, the power which held in hand the
block that once in place would remain
above its position the ex-governor
trowel. stepped backward. the stone was
guided into its resting place, and again
the audience arose and cheered.
AS they ceased the band struck up

AS the last words of the anthem
echoed and re-echoed over the house
tops below the hill upon which the cap
ital is to be erected, Gov. Clough again
stepped to the front Of the platform Z
proclaim that the corner stone of
the new capitol Of the state Of Mime:

an END.

Ramsey bowed his head modestly in
recognition When he was presented
by Judge Flandrau with silver trowel
with which to perform the duties as
signed him. and arose to his feet to re-
ceive the memento, the applause was
deafening. And again. when with the
trowel he smoothed the mortar which
was to lay for ages between the upper
and lower portion of the corner stone,
there was a cheer which would have
done credit to the 'entirc population of
Minnesota at the time when Alexander
Ramsey first set foot upon its SOIL 1t
was proud moment for the territorial
governor, as but few moments before
it had been for the senior senator; but
above all it was an occasion Of which
the entire state of Minnesota might we'll
feel proud.
1t was indeed big day for Minneso-
ia. but bigger day for St. Paul Its
citizens approaching the honor which
had been bestowed upon them by the
erection in their midst of such an edi-
fee, did their duty we'll. Only an Incl
dent of the day, the most impressive,
though, was the laying of the corner
stone.
The city was en- fete. From the ris-
ing of the mornings sun until the lights
went out in the homes Old Glory waved
from every pinnacle. It was in celebra-
ton not only of the fact that Minnesota
was about to rear a magnificent new
capitol, but because Minnesota is one
of the United States, and as such is
greater in this year of our Lord 1893,
than it has ever been before.
Bands OF music were everywhere
They came by interurban cars from
Minneapolis, and on trains from other
points They played but national. airs,
and they inspired in the hearts of all
patriotism that has been worked much
more than overtime of late. Every
where the streets were crowded. Only
once did St. Paul present such an ap-
pearance. That was when the veterans
of the Civil war were there two years
ago.
It was another such occasion, but it
was not crowded into one day, and it
was merrier for that Nature had been
kind, and although the SUN was hot in
deed, the breezes which took the folds
out of the flags famed the brows of the
thousands and kept them fairly comfort
