Rev A. H. Post returned to his par.
 iSh here, last Saturday, and occupied | his pulpit on Sunday morning, deliver. ing sermon upon "Idealism." His advice was to set our ideals high ana press forward manfuT1y towards the
 mark for the prize of the high calling which is every ones privilege to at.
 tain unto. Our greatest leaders have been earnest Strivers to be masters of
 their art and profession, and have at
 the same time never deemed it derog
 atory t. their dignity of profession to
 be civil and courteous to their follow CTS. Our highest pattern is Christ.

 with the feeling of our intirmities, J still Lord and Master of all. l IMPERIAL MINISTRIES DO NOT CAPTI- vATE LOCAL HEARTS,.
 The Imperial Minstrels (so called) of
 Litchfield gave their first entertain
 ment in Pavilion Hall on Wednesday evening of last week, resulting in as much dissatisfaction to all who attend ed-if we may judge by reports-as any entertainment ever given in the hall. With one exception among the per
 formances, there was nothing connect ed with the affair worthy the name ot
 minstrel. We predict it will be some time before the hall is again opened for minstrel entertainment by par ties hitherto entirely unknown. A | dance was attempted after the stage
 part was ended but there was no one
 but the minstrels, and the very few l ladies who accop panied them here, tc dance, and before midnight the hail l and village had resumed it's usual calm nd inf cfotA h0 misc butt ., little poorer from the visit of the I'm. peria lS."

The Grand Forks Herald serves a
warning uDon members of the legisla-
ture that they must not allow their
anxiety for the authorship of bills to
lead them into overlooking the urgen-
cy of a short session. The Tribune
believes the members of the legisla-
tive body will appreciate the unwis-
dom Of entering upon any other legis-
lation than that suggested by the gov
ernor for the relief Of the institutions.
There Is no other matter so pressing
but it can wait until the regular SEES

the condition of the institutions, there
is nothing calling for legislative atten-
ton at the present time that would
even suggest a special session. This

special session was held before in the
history of the state, in 1892, when Gov

the legislature into extraordinary SEES

ly a few days, and the business before
it vas quickly transacted. There is
nc reason why the forthcoming ses-
sion should not equal the record of its
predecessor.

MR.. HiLDRETH's OPINION.

We cannot do otherwise than ex
cordiale which exists between Mayor
Sweet of Fargo and City Attorney Hill
dreth. We reproduce from the Forum
of the Gateway City the following
thrilling word picture of a recent en-
counter between the mayor and the
city attorney at committee meeting. 1t
appears that the mayor has not been
giving the heed to the opinions of the
city attorney which the latter official
deems courteous and due him in his
position. The city attorney therefore
prepared a verbal opinion of the mayor
which he delivered as follows:
Mr.. Hildreth proceeded to spread be-
fore them, metaphorically speaking the
panorama of his injured feelings. He
entered upon this expose enveloped in
sulphurious fumes of his seething,
tropical, pent-up wrath.
Gentlemen, l want you to distinctly
understand" broke in the city attorney
that l am not giving this council any
more oral opinions. In the future my
opinions will be handed down in writ
ing"
And then turning suddenly in the
direction of Mayor Sweet, his features
white and livid, the city attorney said:
And now, Mr.. Mayor, this is the
first time We have met since you Of
fered me that singing insult at the
last meeting of the city council by
ignoring your city attorneys opinion
and voting against me.
1T was a dirty, premeditated. con-
temptible insult. and l would be a cow
ardly cur if did not resent it."
Mr.. Hildreth's vocabulary of force
full, plain-meaning expletives, was i'm
mense.
1t always is.

declarations of resentment he sudden.
