During the Minnesota State Fair week we

had visit from great number Of our Gus
toners. Some we had the pleasure of meet
ing before, while others paid us their first
visit. Every one with whom we conversed
were amazed at the wondrous bargains we
were offering in every line of goods Below
we quote a few items from our immense
stocks. Not one article therein can be
bought elsewhere for less than 20 per cent
advance on our prices. Order at once, as
the delay of few days may see us sold out
of some of the numbers, and it may be diff
cult to duplicate.

which are within the bounds OF
possibility could they ever have
triumphed without American aid.
That aid was rendered inevitable
by the tragedy in Havana harbor
on February Is.
While that date stands as the
boundary line between the old
and the new America, the con-
tlict which it foreshadowed was
bound to come sooner or later. 1t
was a conflict between the me-
diaeval and the modern age, be-
tween barbarism and civilization.
The two conditions are antipodal
and they could not endure long
in the same neighborhood. 1t was
the proximity and example Of the
United States which, early in the
century, lit the fires of revolution
in all of SPANS dominions in
Central and South America, and
now in the latter years of the
century, the same influences
sweep the last ofSpain's colonies
on this hemisphere out of her
feeble hands. In a moral as well
as a physical sense the past six
months have been eventful. The
United Stetes has new outlook
and larger aspirations as we'll as
new boundaries. Its old position
of isolation, which was getting
too restricted to conform to our
ambitions and activities, and
which would nave to be abandon.
ed at an early day in any event,
is ended, and the country has
taken a leading place among the
great world powers. History as
it is enacted does not divide itself
up into chapters. 1t is an evolu.
ton rather than a series of
special creations. Events run
into each other and periods and
ages minple. Convenience, how
ever, constructs certain great age
marks from which changes in
the history and destiny of people
can be reckoned. Thus the deeds
of the half year which is now
ended make this period stand
out as the dividing line between
the old and the new conditions
and aspirations. the boundary be-
tween the Lesserand the Greater
America.

amidst such surroundings. So
the speculation has gone on, with
each reading the riddle by the
light Of his own heart, and wher-
ever a man has found happiness
and kissed the lips he loved,
there has been the Eden of his
dream. There is a fable that says
that once, not many years ago,
Adam besought.the angels to give
him permission toreturn to earth
and revisit his old home in the
garden of Eden. His request was
granted. and he came first to
Germany. The sight ofthe father

England, out alas, matters we're
no better there. Everywhere
were snorting railroad trains,
forests Of masts in tie harbor,
people toiling and striving and
trading not q thing that he could
recognize. France was no better
and at last he crossed into Spain,
and gave a sigh of relief. His
eye wept across the country,
.:Ah /" he cried with Joy, that
is my own country; this is my
own land, just as left it; not q
thing changed. Vive Dios "
Travellers tell us that this is a true
story, and if Adam should come
back tomorrow he would still
find things in Spain just as he
left them, except that of late the
American guns have knocked off
q few pailings, and the American
pigs sre beginning to get into the
garden.

worn, wasted and misshappen,
praying for death, are left to

cannot think it outright that the
one we love best should be torn
from US; that the prop that gave
US greatest support should be
broken; that the lips that have
fingered lovingly on our own
with throbbing kisses should be
cold by the hand Of relentless
cruel death. Tears soften grief;
prayerful, hopeful thoughts make
US in a way reconciledto the fate
that must come to us all; but
there is still the wound in our
hearts; the lonesomeness that
comes into our being after a dear
one is gone, never to return. The
whole world seems dark. and we
must strive against bitterness
that would lead us to cry out that
our God is unkind. the blow has

for County Superintendent.

| Perhaps no Office in the county
needs a more thorough, well.
equipped and energetic scholar
than that of Co. Superintendent
of free schools. WELDING an in
fluence alike over teacher and
student he should be- both
thorough and practical. Further
more tits not necessary 10 say
that a thorough broad minded
scholar is always practical. Then
it becomes that not merely q
smattering of an education is
sufficient for this important Of
Ace; but it requires q broad,
thorough course, many days and
hours Of untiring effort in order
to be fitted for this position. Why
we think 1t necessary that he
should be thorough and broad
are these: First, that he may be
far.sighted enough to perceive
all technicalities and uso nothing
but the practical. Second, that
he may not take up something
that embraces too much for the
requirement. Third. that he may
direct in a more beneficial and
progressive course, look after
the higher interest of the public
schools and bring about an edu.
cational awakening. Therefore
it should be the aim OF every Re-
publican and citizen to procure
superintendent Of these require
ments. To ill these conditions
we know OF no one who is better
equipped than Charles q. Coff-
man who is at present aspiring to
the ONCE Of Co. superintendent
OF Harrison county. Mr.. Coffman
is an energetic, practical young
man OF mature age, excellent
judgment and remarkable ability.
Aside from his practical work of
six years or more Of teaching he
has just graduated from one
among the leading institutions of
our State. Beng both teacher
and student he is thoroughly
abreast with the times and ad.
mirably fitted for this RESPONSE
BILE position. His experience,
culture and natural ability place
him ct the top round as an educa-
tor of the banner county. Being
a loyal Republican, refined
gentleman and q Christian char
acter, IL nominated. he will add
much weight to our party ticket.
Certainly the Republicans OF

mistake in nominating this gen
