Second Presbyterian church last night.
Hon Alfred Hand presided. The choir
rendered a number of selections with
Charles Doersam at the organ
Judge Hand made few opening re-
marks. speaking earnestly of the great
work, as he said that no man can have
higher aim in life than to have his
name connected with the distribution
of Gods word. He then proceeded to
read a memorial of the late Bible Agent
Rev. 5. s. Kennedy. which in beautiful
diction and kindly thought was full Of
tender recollectons of the dead. This
he said, was read at the meeting be-
cause thus the congregation could in
silent appreciation take part in testify
ing to the worth OF the man who so
long had been engaged in the work Of
the society. The memorial will be
placed on the records. Colonel II. NJ.

An Audac;ous Proposal.

The evening Republican organ bold
ly proclaims that the city council will
deny the Democrats representation on
the election boards. We assume that
the Dispatch does the city council an
injustice in It's statement. 1t is not
possible that the council will have the
hardihood to refuse representation on
the election boards to a party that,
according to the returns Of the spring
election, embraces one-half of the vot-
ers of the city.
Possibly some Of the Republicans are
prepared to go to almost any partisan
extreme, but, if public opinion possesses
any influence, the audacity of the Re-
publican leaders will scarcely be per-
mitted to operate to the extent of alb
solute control Of the election machin-
cry. On the face Of the declared in
ton to refuse representation to the
Democrats, it is evident that some poll
ticians have in mind the plan to count
! the Democratic candidates out if pos
sible-no other reason can be suggest
| ed for q refusal to grant the demand
OF the Democrats for representation on
each one Of the election boards. If it
| is to be a fair election, why should
! not the Democrats have q judge in
| each precinct? Unless it is the inten-
ton to steal the election why should
representatives Of Democracy be ex-
! GUIDED?
The Republican leaders may as we'll
understand now that the Democratic
party will not submit to the loss of any
Of its rights; that any attempt to con-
troll the election boards entirely will
| be fought bitterly and that the DEM
ocrats will be backed by public opin-
| ion in their attempt to maintain their
! legal privileges. Let the city council
take such action as will place the
members Of that body in the position
Of giving official sanction to an attempt
! to steal the election If It dares.

NORK OF WOMEN IN EUROPE,

Mrs. F. B. Clarke, who has Just returned
from abroad, has spent much of her time
during her extended absence from St. Paul In
france and Italy, and has become interested
In the women abroad and their work and ad-
vancement. Mrs. Clarke said to a reporter
for The D Q, last week:
Il found when went abroad that the wom
ems work at the Worlds fair had a great
influence. Two years ago 1 attended several
committee meetings, Of which Madame Pi-
card was chairman, and the sentiment of the
women was that they wanted to sit at the
feet of their American sisters and learn from
them. But l felt that this recumbent position
was purely modest, as they seemed to know
very we'll what to do. They have SO many
resources to call on
L also appeared before the art committee
10 suggest that French artists be allowed
to exhibit at the exposition, irrespective as
to sex.
i found the Italian women carrying on
phlIanthropic work. the same as they are in
America. But in Italy there is great deal
OF individual work being done. Each lady is
by herself at the head of some charitable
organization some school or hospital, of which
she is the benefactor.
More conservative work is done in Italv
than In France. A cooperative society has
been started in Rome for women where their
work is exhibited. 1 was especially pleased
that, through the one woman's edition of q
newspaper which was issued in st. Paul. a
similar enterprise should have been under
taken by sort Of women's exchange which
exists in Rome. A handsome book was
the result. and the work committee included

Medical Aspects of the War.

DR.. Carroll Durham monopolizes thir-
teen pages Of the American Review of
Reviews in a discussion Of the medical
and sanitary aspects of the war. What
the doctor really wants to say will be
found in the last two and half pages
of his discourse. He sides and backs
about in the first ten pages in a vain
attempt to station himself without
turning his back upon any Of the par
ties likely to be vitality interested in
what he has to say. If the trail that
he makes were not so VeXing it would
be funny. He compares the work Of
the army and the navy, admitting the
vast superiority of the latter, but i'm
mediately makes an Apologize bow to
the war department. 1.-THE people de-
clined to authorize a development of
the military service which should keep
any sort Of pace with the population,
and this is why the army has fallen
so far short of the navy
Embarrassment grows somewhat
painful when he touches the subject
Of military camps. The sites must be
chosen with two objects in view, viz,
hygienic and transportation facilities.
Some Of the sites were very bad. This
statement is followed by a circular let
ter from Gen. Sternberg, wherein ne
urged the selection Of proper camp
sites. With his back squarely toward
Alger the doctor now gets his courage,
and these are some of the things he
says:
Camp diseases. and notably typhoid fever,
developed and spread at Chickamauga. At
Camp Alger, near Washington, typhoid as
sumed such proportions that the camp be-
came dangerous to the lives of our men. Nor
Is this to be wondered at, for the camp was
badly situated and it was not kept in proper
sanitary condition. Many of the soldiers there
occupied small shelter tents set back to back
with about a siX-foot space between them.
In the middle Of this space was an open
trench in which ran the greasy refuse from
the camp-nether more nor less than an
open sewer on either side of which the SOL
diers lived and slept.
Regiments have come back from our great
army camps having seen no active service
whatever, but showing losses greater than
those they would have suffered in a light ng
campaign Men will be invaded for life;
men will be dying for ten years to come be-
cause Of diseases which ought to have heen
prevented. The measure in which we have
fallen short of this result Is the measure Of
administrative incapacity, a large part Of
which he AYERS "is due to the systematic ap-
pointment of men to positions Of executive
trust for political reasons. If this policy is
ever tolerable during peace 1t is never any
thing short of an iniquity in war;
These and many other things are
charged against the war department,
and curiously enough the efficiency Of
the navy department is again brought
into comparison, but this time with
out an apology

or to rely upon England's aid. The
nrst we could do, so far as our re-
sources are concerned; but would the
majority of the American people, in
view of the enormous expense and the
example of the French army, vote for
such measure? If they did not,
would England agree to use her ships
In our behalf. and, If so, would we
not be bound to go on all sorts of mill
itary wild goose chases for her?
True, England grew to her present
power through her colonial possessions

necessity. Not so America. She is
great within herself having no out
lying weak points to protect" save
hawaii, and "to such weak points
winch she ought not to have" she need
not add
Finally, Mr. Schurz sounds a note Of
warning. He says:
Inc great problem of democratic
government, based upon equal rights
ana universal suffrage, is not so near
a successful solution that we may con-
slider ourselves free from our great re-
sponslolllty and seek other missions

Chicago. much Of st. Paul trade went to St.
Louis, through the agency of the Union
Packing company. The following officers
were elected in 1867: President, w. F. David
son; secretary and treasurer, William Rhodes:
assistant treasurer, Edward Sawyer; supsrIn-
tendent, P. S. Davidson; freight agent. James
Shelton.
Butter brought 40 cents per pound in St.
Paul; at Keokuk and other points south it
was to be had at nearly half that figure. St.
Paul was in the midst of one Of the richest
pastoral regions in the Northwest, yet at
that time little attention had been paid to
dairying. Later, however, cows were imported
to the state in large numbers with great
profit to the farmers.
A convention of base ball clubs was held
in st. Paul and a tournament was held IN
this city on Sept. "a. Clubs from Owatonna,
Red Wing, Mortified. Faribault, st. Cloud.
Lake City, Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth
participated in the games.
Three large buildings were completed dur
ing the fall of 1867. The st. Michaels church,
West ST. Paul; the first Catholic church in
that section of the city, the Universalist
church. Wabasha and Summit avenue, and
the Forepaugh block.
Work on the new government building was
commenced. The supervising architect, from
Washington, spent several months in St.
Paul, comforting with the contractors The
foundation was laid before snow fell.

The Anglo-Am erican Friendship.

Carl Schurz discusses "The Anglo
American Friendship" in the Atlantic
Monthly, with an impartiality and mas
terly discrimination that dispel the
confusion wrought by jingoes and An
glomaniacs and give the reader the
true historic bearing of Americas pres
ent position
His article might be summed up thus:
The war with Spain has caused Eng
land and America to drop their long
quarrel and shake hands. But, if they
indulge in close embrace, the pins
holding together their respective ma
tional policies will prick them to re-
newed wrath, and the last state Of
their hatred will be worse than the
first. For example, we are told by the
London Anglo-American league, says
Mr.. SchurZ, that it is the common in
terest Of the two nations to open the
markets Of the world to their COM
merce, and, by implication, to prevent
the closing of any of them. This will
be true as soon as both nations agree
in regarding free trade as their COM
mon interest. But as things now stand
consistent cooperation between them

relieved Of those high tariff duties
which shut Great Britain's trade. to
great extent, from this country and
must, to the same extent, cut her off
from the ports Of all our colonial pos
sessions, so long as the protective pol
Icy lasts. This would be Inevitable
owing to the constitutional mandate
that "all duties, imports and excuses
be uniform throughout the United
States"
The writer agrees with Mr.. James
Bryce that the advantage in the pres
ent situation is the removal Of the old
distrust between the two nations, and
that the friendship could find a val
liable expression in the conclusion of
an arbitration treaty, which would
cover all kinds of differences and rec
ognize that mo quarrels could arise
which would not be capable of AMIGA
BILE composition"
But he argues cogently that we
should keep clear Of any entanglements
which would make us. In any meas

POSITION in the family of nations. Ex-

Th%tvOne Years Ago.

Thirty-one years ago yellow fever devas-
tated the South. The principal cities south
OF Mason and Dixon line had enforced rigid
quarantine and at New Orleans the malady
had assumed most alarming proportions. A
hundred new cases were reported dafly and
the strictest vigilance was exercised nv tho
authorities. At Memphis it was said that
the fever was caused by the wooden pave
ments breeding malarial germs, and during
the excessively hot weather the air became
infected with deadly results Later every
wooden pavement in the city was replaced by
stone and brick STREETS.

OUR DEAD SOLDIER BOY.

The many strains of music
Fall upon my listening ear,
AS the troops are slowly marching
To the camping ground so near.
The music swels so sweetly,
Yet 1t draws from me a tear,
For with them all is not the one
Whom my heart held so dear.
An only child, he came to ne,
lad brave and true,
And said '"Ill fight the Spaniards
Meath the cd Red. White and Blue
''Then go, my boy" said. you're right,
And do your duty true;
But never let your mother, child,
Have cause to blush for YOU"
Not many weeks had passed away
When the dreadful tidings came
That down in old Manila Bay
My only boy was slain.
So. now you've heard my story,
The reason now is plain
Why I'll never see a soldier boy
Without a throb Of pain.
