CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post says: "In
South Carolina we shall always have
peculiar love for Gordon for the
needful and effective aid he rendered
from Georgia to our people who were
struggling to throw off the burden OF
the scalawag and the negro"
The Birmingham Age Herald says:
Georgia has lost her foremost citi-
zen, the veterans of the Confederacy
their greatest hero, and the whole
country a patriot loved and honored
Gen. John B. Gordon's death is la
mented throughout the nation, and
here in the Southland it comes to
thousands who wore the grey as a
personal affection"
The Philadelphia Ledger says:
Gen. Gordon will be remembered as
brilliant soldier, devoted to the
cause which he supported with I'M
daunted courage as long as it was
possible to continue the fray; as one
who, having been vanquished, yielded
to the inevitable gracefully and &C
cepted the results of the war as ire
versible, and became an apostle of re-
union and the reconciliation of the
sections"
The Baltimore Sun says: "Of
Hampton and Gordon and many other
Confederate generals who preceded
them to that bourne whence none re-
turn it can be said in all truth that
they were without fear and without
reproach. They were the best products
of Southern civilization-of a civiliza-
ton which gave the country a Wash
ington and a Jefferson. Their fame will
not perish with them. So long as the
South is loyal to its noblest tradi-
lions it will cherish the memories of
the knightly men who led the armies
of the Confederacy and made the term
Southern soldier synonymous with
valor that never faltered and devotion

The government of Mexico knows
how to secure desirable immigrants,
and it is putting that knowledge to
practical use. 1t has advanced $4,000
from the national treasury to Gen.
Snyman with which to make part
payment on large tract of land to be
colonized by Beers from the Transvaal.
Gen. Snyman was formerly a Boer
leader in the late war and is now at
the head of movement to colonize the
defeated South African Dutchmen on
this continent. In addition to the
governments loan. Gen. Snyman has
secured $15O.OOO from a bank in the
City of Mexico for the purposes of the
colony. Under the terms of the con-
cession granted by the government,
the Boer settlers are exempt from mil
itary service. except in foreign war.
and from all taxes except municipal
and stamp taxes, and from import du-
ties on the farming implements they
bring into the country. Thus Mexico
is offering the Beers something sub
stantial, and thousands of them will go
to that country to make themselves
homes.

Table RuIes for Ch;Idr.u

We used to have a clergyman here
of the name of Robert M. Hatfield.
says the New York Sun. He was of
the Episcopal faith and held appoint
ments in Brooklyn, Baltimore, Chicago
and Philadelphia, as well as in New
York. He afterward became finan-
cial agent of the Northwestern Uni
Versity and Science Hall at Evanston.
where he died in 1891. His amiable
wife must have blessed him with num-
erous children, and the couple no
doubt tried hard to bring them up
properly. Paul w. Orvis has found
a copy of the reverend gentleman's
table rules for children" which he
would disseminate. They were writ
ten forty-five years ago and each of
the Hatfield youngsters was required
to live up to them:
In silence 1 must take my seat.
And give God thanks before 1 eat;
Must for my food in patinece wait
Till am asked to hand my plate.
must not speak a useless word,
For children should be seen, not heard;
l must not talk about my food
Nor fret If l don't think il good.
1 must not say the bread is old.
The tea is hot, the coffee's cold:
| must not cry for this or that,
Nor murmur if my meat is fat.
Must turn my head to cough or sneeze,
And when 1 ask say, IF you pleace. -
The tablecloth must not spoil
Nor with my food my fingers soil.
With knife or fork or napkin ring,
must not play; nor must I sing,
Must keep my seat when 1 am done,
Nor round the table sport or run.
When told to rise then l must put
My chair away with noiseless foot,
And lift my heart to God above
In praise for all His wondrous love.

Fire in the residence of A.. ]. Drexel-
Biddle in Philadelphia recently de-
stroyed a number of art works and
some fine furniture. Mr.. Drexel- Bid
die put in a claim with the insurance
company. One item was: One pair of
boxing gloves, $780," That struck the
insurance people as somewhat steep
and they got some catalogues to see
what boxing gloves were quoted at
They found that the "mitts" were
worth from 81 to SIS per pair. A let
ter of regret therefore went from the
insurance people to Mr.. Drexel- Biddle.
His reply was Immediately forthcom-
ing, to this effect: "On those precious
and historic gloves was the life blood
of Fftzsimmons the Great. Think of
it; the blood of Ruby Robert, the
greatest fighter the world has ever
known. For the gloves, one cent; for
the blood of Fitzsimmons, s2OO-noth-
ing less!" 1t would seem to be a good
business proposition for the insurance
people to buy new pair of gloves and
then give Fitzsimmons $50 to let some
body hit him a rap on the nose with
them.

Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, Jr.'s, IA
nous Bible class is beginning to an
noy him somewhat. His scholars are
becoming too outspoken, and to have
too many opinions. Mr.. Rockefeller
was instructing the class the other day
on the duties Of good citizenship, say
ing among other things that the good
citizen should uphold the law and set
a good example for his neighbor. AT
this point a well dressed young man
of the class broke in with this obser-
walton: 1T seems to me that the good
citizen should never shirk jury duty
as great many busy men do; and
another thing, I don't think good cit
tzens should seek to avoid paying
their taxes by having two or three res
licences or by the swearing-off pro-
cess" That was a center shot upon

There is talk in New York of send

might look further and fare worse.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is not to be classed
among the idle rich. He is a worker,
with both hands and head. He is a
mechanical engineer, an inventor of
railway machinery and the author of
technical papers on locomotives and
other apparatus. In all probability he
would make good congressman.

as necessary TO warfare under modern
conditions. If Japan stops the exporta-
ton of camphor, she will score one inn

AN AMRITIorS YOUNG MAN.

! William Randolph Hearst has been
doing a great deal of advertising of
himself as a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President. Now
| he is in a fair way to get a much
! larger amount of free advertising.
| When it first became known that he
was a candidate for the nomination but
| little attention was paid to him. In
deed the first announcement was that
he was candidate for the nomination
for Vice President, but even as a can
didate for that position he attracted
very little notice.
AS to the extent of his strength for
the presidential nomination no one
seems to be prepared to speak with
any degree of certainty. If Washing
ton correspondents are to be believed
leading Democrats are expressing sur
prise at the amount of Hearst senti-
ment there is in many parts of the
country. This sentiment is attributed
to the very liberal amount of adver-
Using he is doing for himself in his
own papers and in other papers. 1t
man, and it is asserted that he is
spending money with a very free hand.
One prominent Washington correspond
ent says that it is reported that he is
ready to give 100000 to the campaign
! fund of his party provided he is given
the nomination. OF course there is
no good foundation for such a report.
For sometime there has been a sus-
picion that Mr.. Bryan is prepared to
throw his influence for him. 1t is
probable that this suspicion does Mr..
Bryan injustice, for how could he make
such q concession to the power of
money, having been such bitter en-
envy of the money power? The idea
has been thrown out that Mr.. Bryan
wants to be Secretary of State, and
would claim that place If Mr.. Hearst
should be elected President. 1t is safe
to say that Mr.. Bryan isn't making
bargains of that sort. He is hopeful
of being q candidate for President
again, perhaps in 1908. He will not
enter into any arrangement that would
handicap him in an effort to satisfy
his ambition.
There is a long write-up of Mr..
Hearst in Mondays Herald. That is
an indication that Mr.. Hearsts conf
| dence in his ability to succeed in what
he has undertaken increases as the
| campaign progresses, since it would be
folly to adopt such an expensive pro-
gramme if the end aimed at were re-
garded as being hopeless of attain
ment.
Mr.. Hearst isn't very well known to
the politicians or the people. He hasn't
figured in a large way in public af-
fairs, having served in a public posi-
ton for only a short time-that of a
member of Congress. He has gained
some notoriety, however. as an antag-
onist of trusts, and has posed literally
as the friend of the workingman. His
stock in trade as a candidate may be
summed up as money, and his reputa-
tion for opposition to trusts and as a
friend of the laboring classes.
Those who have been constant read
ers of his papers now think doubtless
they see that he has been paving the
way for his candidacy for a long time.
There is much speculation as to his
chances for the nomination, but II
wouldn't be surprising If he should APP
pear at the nominating convention
with a much bigger support than it is
| now eeneraIlv believed he will

Why Not.

There is a great hubbub in Chicago
over a proposition actually to enforce
the new building ordinance. It is said
that if this programme is carried out
it will close and keep closed not only
the theaters but large number of
business establishments, including
nearly all factories in the city and a
list of prominent churches. It is said
that the badgered building commits
sioner is determined to relieve himself
of responsibility by enforcing the law,
while immense petitions against it are
being prepared by business men and
others.
This is fair sample of the sort of
government that prevails in all the
cities of this country. It is an ar
rangement of keeping the outside of
the sepulchre we'll whitewashed. It is
one of those sheer pretenses in which
civilization abounds for doing injus-
tice, and for return to savagery after
a concerted attempt to shift RESPONSE
bility in case of being found out.-St.
Paul Globe.

Mule Foot Hog.

There has been on exhibition at the
City Meat Market this week a hog
with perfectly formed mule feet. It
caused no little interest among people
of these parts, but recent arrivals from
Iowa report many of this nature in
our neighboring state. But it is the
first of the kind ever seen here It
seems the mule footed hog is immune
from hog cholera and for that reason
was introduced into Iowa several
years ago. An uncle of Mr.. Lloyd's,
proprietor of the City Meat Market,
bought some fancy stock of this breed
at the Iowa state fair few years since
and is raising principally mule feet,
as it is known there, but how this one
happened in here, being bought with a
bunch of porkers from farmer near
Bertha, is a mystery to Mr.. Lloyd.
They differ in no particular from the
split hoof, other than that the hoof is
solid and resembles very much that of
the mules.

The Grindeland Law.

The grain dealers of Minneapolis
and Duluth have notified the State
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
of Minnesota that there will be no
further objection made to the enforce
ment of the Grineland law. One Sec
ton of this law provides that "When-
ever any grain commission merchant
sells all or portion of any grain
consigned to him to be sold on COM
mission, he shall within twenty-four
hours render true statement to the
consignor showing what portion of
such consignment has been sold, the
price received therefore, the name and
address of each purchaser, the date,
hour and minute when such sale was
made, with voucher for all charges
and expenses incurred.''
A large number of the grain dealers
never made anything more than tech
meal objection to this clause. They
were perfectly willing to bide by it's
terms SO long as they were not an
noyed by technical objection from
shippers West.

concerning the changes to be made by
the Great Northern at this point the

settled opinion among railroad men
at this point that a new depot will be
erected two blocks east of the present
structure, and they expect it will be a
two story building with division Offices
on the upper floor similar to the depot
at Willmar. The annual rumor of a
road to Mile Laos lake is also again
getting in evidence. It is quite certain
that the company is planning some ex-
tensive changes here but just what will
be done is not definitely known, further

Rum River PinerieS.

G. L. Johnson of Anoka returned
last week from the Rum river pineries
where he has been on. business. He
reports things as favorable for log
ging, and lots of work being done.
In e. L. Ferguson g. Co.'s seven
camps there are 300 horses and 300
men at work. Logging is being done
for the Foley Bean Co. Of Milaca, and
some idea of the magnitude of the work
may be gained from the fact that the
first week in January 10000 logs, seal
ing l,45l 900 feet were landed, and
the second week it was expected to put
in ?, 800, 900 feet. The logging roads
are from six to fourteen miles in
length, and the weather is ideal. Mr..
Ferguson is experimenting the work
himself, and it keeps him busy. Dur
ing Mr.. Johnson's stay he said he
never heard a complaint from the men.
The work in the other camps on the
Rum is as satisfactory and reports

that everything is just right for big
