A late number of the Press contained an
item from the St. Cloud Journal I think
giving an account Of the murder Of o young
man in Benton county by Mile Lac Chip
pewa. Here is the sequal to that story:


The murderer fled in the direction of Mile
Lac Lake, but probably did not go directly
there, as a halfbreed, carrying news of the
murder to the Chippewas living there. got
there sometime before the murderer did.


As soon as possible after the news of the
murder was received, a council of the band
assembled, and after hearing the circum-
stances related by the messenger, and con-
siderable discussion, it was decided that the
murderer, who had in the meantime arrived
there, should be killed, and six young men
of the band were selected to do the deed I;
two of them being especially deputized to
shoot him, while the others were assistants.


All being ready, the six men started for
him and got nearly to him, when he discov-
cred them, and suspecting3 their errand,
probably, he seized his gun, ammunition
and tobacco pouch, and turned to flee. The
hearts of the two young men failed them at
this critical moment, and they failed to
shoot, when one of the others, a decidedly
smart Indian, who can speak good English,
and is well known about here by his name,
Kag-a-do-shay, raised his gun and shot the
murderer dead in his tracks. His hands
were then cut of, wrapped in his shirt, and
sent to the family of the murdered man for
them to see, and thus know that blood had
answered for blood.

The Temperance excursion from Day

on the cath, was decided success
About four hundred Of the good, sub
stantial, law abing, order loving citizens
of Dayton, fearless of public opinion,
determined to advocate justice from
man to man, met in Baxter's Grove to
ratify in christian spirit the works Of
the temperance ladies and gentlemen of
Richmond which have been going on in
our midst for months.


Rev. j. v. r. Miller welcomed them
to our State and city in neat christian
speech, assuring them that they would
have our corporation in all their labors
to eradicate the murderous evil from the
center to the very borders of their
State.


There were several short speeches by
members of the Temperance orders Of
Dayton, urging us to hold on to the
light already given us. To which re-
sponses were made by Shinn, Miller
and Wooton, setting forth our views on
Temperance, and urging our friends Of
Dayton to go not in their own strength,

God, and He, through them, would eff.

gressive manner until Prohibition
should be inscribed on the banner of

Fortunate are those parents who have
learned to respect the individuality of
their children; who are not madly bent
upon planting them in the family garden
in set rows, and so closely that their
branches have no room to stretch out into
the fair sunlight; who are forever on
hand with the pruning knife or hoe, to
lop off that which, if left, would develope
into sweet buds or flowers; or to dig the
earth prematurely for roots which were
better left safely hidden till their natural
period of vigorous appearing. A gar
dener who should be guilty of such folly
would be laughipg-stock. What if all
his flowers were of one colorf What if
every twig and leaf were of the same
size? How weary should we be of this
monotony. How We should long for the
delicate pink of the rose, and the royal
purple of the violet, and the pure snow
of the lily, and the distinctive aroma of
each. Why not in this respect take a
lesson from nature, which is at once so
bountiful and so wise?

pleasure the iniquities and profigacies of

disposition more completely depraved

The monarchies of Europe have been wont
to point with great deal of satisfaction to
the disgraceful scenes which sometimes at
tend popular elections in this country, and
smile and say, "that is what republican IN
stitutions lead to-" Now general election
is about to take place in France, and the
telegraph informs us that the most extraor-
dinary precautions are taken to preserve
order, and that public meetings have been
prohibited for certain time before the cleo
ton. Various comments are made by the
London press as to the cause of the excite
ment, the favorite explanation being that
the government has stirred up the excitement
and taken extraordinary precautions for
some ulterior purpose. The English press
and people are so fearful of Little Nap that
they stand in constant dread of some devilish
offspring of his fertile brain that will come
to plague them and this accounts for their
expecting some awful "ulterior design" On
this side of the Atlantic. removed from the
dread of his power, it appears that the EN-
peror feels himself trembling upon the throne
which he erected upon the ruins of slaught-
cred republic. The volatileFrenchman, always
fond of excitement and ready for revolution,
has jealous eye upon the glory of France,
which he thinks the emperor has allowed to
be tarnished in his expedition to Mexico
and in his diplomacy with Bismarck, who
parleyed with him while he used the needle
gun to consolidate the Prussian empire.
We do not believe the government has
stirred up any excitement The danger is
that the excitement will come too fast, and
the elections go against the government

ately provoke war with some foreign power,
probably Prussia, to divert the attention of

The Past, the Present, and the future.


The Goldsboro' Messenger has an article
entitled, "Rebuked," the text of which IS
derived from the presumptuous article In
the Tarhoro Southerner regarding the STAN
pAgp. The Southener, with its usual good
taste, made the article " Work." which was
published in the STANDARD about a year
ago, subject of criticism. and endeavored
to read the the STANDARD from the newspa-
paper fraternity on that account. The Mes
seagcr, with a commendable fearlessness
and disposition to act according to its
views of justice, replied to the yelp-
ing of the Southerner in an article
which, although strongly tinctured with
partisanship, is yet the fairest which has
enanated from a Democratic source on this
subject. The Messenger does not treat the
Southerner with that reverence which. the
Southerner seems tosthink its due, and gives
it gentle hint to attend to its own
business and leave other papers to at
tend to their business. The Messenger takes
the ground that, as the writer of the article
g Work" is no longer employed upon the
STANDARD, or residing in the State, the
STANDARD, under its present manae ement,
cannot be held responsible for either
that article or any other which was
published while the STANDARD was under
different management from the present.
The ground taken by the Messenger is emil
nently fair and just, and shows tina. the
editor of that paper can rise above mere
partizan views, and is able to do justice
even to political opponent.


REGARDING the article g. Work" about


which so much has been said, and which is
so often thrown up at the STANDARD by
certain unprincipled journals, the STANDARD
has nothing to say one way or the other.
1t simply intends to discuss the issues of the
day in its own manner, and according to its
own views, and is willing to be responsible
for all that appears in its columns in the
future. As to those papers who are
continually throwing out slurs regarding
the article "Work" they know that they
are lying by implication when they en-
deavor to create the impression that the
present STANDARD is responsible for any
thing that ever appeared in the STANDARD
under any former management.


We intend to have the people to judge of
the course OF the STANDARD, and shall do
our best to merit the approval of every man
who truly loves his country and State. Our
course will be such as we deem most fitted
to advance the interests of the State and to
benefit the people, and in that we shall per-
severe without regard to any criticisms from
friend or foe. We intend to pursue that
course which we believe to be right, and
therefore cannot be induced to swerve from
it, as any deviation from the right must he
a step in the wrong direction. Any course
pursued by the STANDARD in the past we
do not feel called upon to defend or con-
demn, as the present management had moth
Ing to do with the editorial matter of the
paper at that time The record that the
STANDARD makes in the future will be iden-
tilted with every interest of the State and
with all that can conduce to the welfare of
the people.
