What the Editors Say

Gen. Bakers tribute to Ex-Gov.
Ramsey, at the recent meeting of the
State Historical society, is a MASTER
piece of oratory and literature. Gen.
Bakers intellectual faculties seem to
grow lustrous with age, and it is to
be regretted that a man with his bril-
liant attachments should be retired to
private life. The peanut politicians who
are running Blue Earth county have no
time for a man who oyershadows them.

SUGGESTIONS From Rosebery.

LONDON, Sept. 11.-Lord Rosebery,
replying to a correspondent, has writ

military management of Great Brit

king to entrust the entire management
of the war office to Gen. Lord Kitchen

WAGNERs sMooTHED DOWN.
Composers Family Will Attend the
dwelling of the Monument.

BERLIN, Sept. 11.-Countess Won
Buelow has induced Emperor William
to bring about peace between the
Wagners and the Wagner monument
committee. She represented to the
emperor that the absence of the Wag-
ners would really detract from the in
terest in the commemoration exercises.
Frau Wagner insisted on only one
change in the programme, and that
was the theoretical discussion of mu-
sic, such as the congress was to en-
gage in, which was opposed to the
masters ideas as expressed in all his
writings, and the countess begged the
emperor to make this concession,
which he did Therefore Frau Wag-
ner and all the other members of the
Wagner family will attend the unvell-
ing of the Wagner monument Oct. 1.

White Labor in the South.

The south undoubtedly presents a
most inviting field for white agricul-
tufal labor. and it will come to take the
places of hundreds of thousands of ma
tive whites who have gone into the
mills and factories. The stimulus Civ
en- the industry by the injection of this
element will be valuable to the negro
labor. Things. win gradually but GER
tainly be put upon strictly business
basis, and not only the South as a
whole, but every planter and every in
dividual worker will profit thereby

 The marine life saving appliances may all be seen'in the exhibit at Wash ington There is the powerful surf boat mounted upon its carriage, so that it can be drawn easily and rapidly to the waters edge to be launched. There are ropes, rockets, life rafts and breech- es buoys There are oilskin suits and cork Jackets for the men of the life saving service to jump into quickly when they go out to rescue the wrecked.
 Tn actual service these things are kept at the United States life saving sta tions dotted all along our coasts, The stations must be maintained in the highest condition of excellence and manned with the full quota of life savers during the autumn, winter and spring. In the summer, when there are not so many storms, the service does not need so many men.
 Members of Uncle Sann's marine life guard are chosen usually from the hardy fishermen and coast sailors who have lived most of their lives upon and near the sea. To get into the service a man must be strong, active, healthy and brave and able to row with a

The brooches buoy is sent over this cable, and one by one the wrecked ones are drawn ashore in it. It is a piece of hooped canvas with holes in the center for the persons legs to pass through. Holding fast the ropes above him, the person from the wreck is hauled to shore by the powerful life saving crew.
 Lately a most heroic deed was per formed by the women and girls of Pad stow, a little port of Cornwall, on the southwest coast of England. It was during the frightful storms on the Brit ish shores this spring. The terrifying boom, boom of the cannon telling of a ship in mortal danger suddenly roared over the waters. The men belonging

quick, powerful stroke and skilled in coast craft. This is not enough. either. for the men of the life saving crews. They must drill as regularly and as constantly as soldiers. Their practice consists in rowing, launching boats. shooting rockets and in various phys ical exercises to keep their wino and muscle up to the mark. f
 What is more, they must take turns in patrolling the coast day and night. Lookouts with telescopes sweep the ho- rizon for ships in distress. The life savers must be fearless and true of eye, for the work of heroes is many a time required of them. They must also know enough of medical science to render first aid to the injured and to resuscitate the apparently drowned. It many a time happens that a person who is brought ashore seemingly drowned is restored to life after an hours steady work over him by the life savers.
 A ship is sometimes driven toward the shore and grounded in a storm so terrible that the surf boat cannot be rowed to her over the foaming waves. In that case is used the brooches buoy. so called from it's shape. It is also sometimes named the sling life buoy. When the rescuers cannot go to the

 Suddenly a flash split the air in line with the widows vision. A shriek that rent the heavens startled her. She stood on her feet. Two more flashes two awful shrieks, followed by a crash that seemed to lift the house from its foundations succeeded so swiftly that the widow shut her eyes. And then his presence was simultaneous with the f1ashes-a man with angry eyes and a bearded face pushed her out among the soldiers now rushing past in a trot.
 They paid no attention to her. They were looking forward; every man there had his head well up. Their eyes were fixed on something distant. The bursting shell high overhead solved the riddle. They were moving In the direc- ton of the enemy's cannon. The widow cast one look at her house. An inn mense hole was torn in the gable.

 But long before the earth rocked un- der the explosions of Battery the widows flying feet carried her swiftly toward her son. A trailing vine-or was it a n?-caught her foot, and she stumbled and fell.
 When she sat up and looked around her, she was shielded by a huge bowl der, Its gray face rose out of the em- erald green sward like wall, behind which she now covered, trembling, quivering in every nerve.
 The tops of distant hills were all crowned with batteries. In every direc- tion as far as the eye could reach the woods were fiecked with flashes. They leaped from the haze of low lying smoke like lightning. Straight across great fields long lines of men moved until the guns on the top of the hills vomited fire. Then the lines wavered. swayed uncer- tainly and disappeared in the woods from which they had emerged.
 They came out of the woods in even lines; they sought cover again in rag ged; diSordered masses. Sometimes they came out again, advanced, were torn apart and melted away in haze
 The battle ragged all around her. As far as eye could see the flash and sound of bursting shells met the eye and smote the ear. Gazing now wild eyed at the rain of missiles that filled the air, shrinking, clinging to the rock in the midst of that chaos of terror spreading sounds unparalleled in his- tory, the widow stared as one who saw not, who heard not; like one to whom all sounds were a terror.
 The struggle had been in progress five mortal hours when a mass of men l and horses emerged from a fringe of

 As she looked lovingly on the wall of green dashed with the spray of un- folding buds and full blown flowers low rumble fell upon her. It was like the rumble of dying storm. The wid- ow listened attentively. Yes, the sky looked dull over there where the sound came from; there was a something that foretold a change.
 By the time her tables and mantels were adorned with fresh flowers the rumbling sound was more distinct and so regular and frequent that the widow walked out and looked up and down the valley. The meaning of the sounds she heard dawned upon her. The mighty armies had met in battle. The thick sky was only the dust made by countless feet as men marched in bat tie array. The rumbling sound was the boom, boom of cannon.
 A strange hush fell over nature. The cows stood anxious eyed in the brook, the chickens moved about uncertainty in wary manner, while the geese stood stupidly in the middle of the dusty road with up1ifted heads.
 Long before noon the rumble of artil- Iery was distinct. The dust rose in clouds; dull red pillars ascended slow ly, bulged and swayed, refiecting the suns rays, warped and twisted them selves. then melted away.
 A strange sound, a muf1ed sound like the faint snapping of sticks, was wait ed across the hills to groups of listeners gathered on the knoll opposite the wid- ow's house. Then a fringe, the merest fringe, of men appeared on the horizon.
 Fifteen minutes later a stream of wounded Federals limped through the village. The villagers were beside themselves with, fear when the adju- tant of a brigade, a handsome young man in new uniform, rode through the village ordering the inhabitants to retire or be caught between two fires"
 The widow looked on composed1y. She refused to leave her house. No ar guments. no remonstrances, no induce ments or threats affected her resolve. If the Federals were coming, perhaps she would see her son.
