The Hervald-Beview. | GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. | | Rev. Dr, A. J. Palmer, a northern | minister, is lecturing in the south on the “Federal Soldier,” and Gen, John B. Gordon, a confederate soldier, is lee- turing in the north on the “Last Days of the Confederacy.” Both gentlemen are having crowded houses and making money. One country, one people; no north, no south. No millennium im- pending, but jolly, good feeling on tap- Girls all know that the most persis- tent suitor for the waltz numbers is the very fellow they don’t want. For our part we prefer a sitting-down waltz, anyhow. One of those waltz-at-ease movements where you both get away in some quiet corner, sit down side by side, you slip your arm around the girl and sit there and have your waltz out. The girl here has the power of selection. The punishment of a cartoon pub- lisher and several other German citi- zens for disrespect to the kaiser is evi- dence that his majesty has a cheap head as well as a thin skin. Men worthy of the cartoon recognize the compliment involved in it, however severe it may be; and the right of criticism belongs to every man who pays taxes to his government. And the kaiser must inevitably suffer more as a result of his childishness than any of the men he puts in jail. By refusing to accept the plea of in- toxication advanced by an illegal voter in extenuation of his offense, a Phila- delphia judge has taken a stand which good citizens will generally support, and whieh has reason, judgment and common sense back of it. In a vigor- ous manner the judge charged the jury that if they found the prisoner had vot- | ed illegally, as charged, it was their | duty to convict him without regard to condition at the time, whether he } s drunk or sober. The jury prompt- | y convicted the man. The number of cattle in stock in Britain is given at 6,500,497, of which | 379 are cows and heifers in milk or in calf, and 1,323,230 are returned as being two years and above. As against the twu preceding returns, cows show | respective increases in number of 20,- 704 and 46,559; while the cattle of two years old and above present relative | decreases of 41,827 and 108,295. Of cattle which have attained the age of one year there is an increase of 54,428 over the return of 1896, and of 170,473 over that of 1895. As compared with the total of 1896, calves or cattle under | one year of age show a decrease of | 26,390, but present an increase of 37,- 524 as against that of 1895. Pigs have fallen considerably in number, being 536,499 less than in 1896, and 542,129 | below the total of 1895. In one of William Mountford’s books | the dialogue runs like this: “I am old and feeble and useless,” said Marham, sadly. ‘No, uncle,’ said the young + Aubin; ou were never more useful than now, You are useful just by be- ing an old man.” When Dr. Robert Gordon had outlived his activity as a minister, his friend, Dr. Candlish, said of him: “It is far more important that he should live for several years more than that he should do any work.” Eis presence in the world became like that of a visible spirit of goodness. Fine oid people are among the most gracious and humanizing influences, and some- times their second childhood is more sweet and winsome than the first. We have known more than one gray-haired patriarch who was a very welcome *youth’s companion.” Major Handy, special commissioner to the Paris International Exposition. in his report to congress, recommends that an appropriation of $919,600 be granted, so that a creditable display on behalf of the United States may be made. The president, in transmit- ting the report, says: “Besides secur- ing a much larger amount of space than had been reserved Major Handy obtained the gratifying assurance that the United States will be placed on a footing with the most favored nations and that in the installation of every important department the United States will have a location com- mensurate with the dignity and importance of the country and adjoining in every case countries of the first rank. In view of the mag- nitude and importance of the ap- proaching exposition and of our stand- ing among the nations that will there be represented and in view also of our increased population and acknowl- edged progress in arts and sciences and manufactures, I earnestly com- mend the report of Major Handy to your consideration, and trust that a liberal appropriation may be made. Moreover, the magnificent exhibit of the French republic at Chicago in 1893, on which $1,000,000 were ex: pended, should be a strong incentive to reciprocal liberality on the part of the government of the United States.” Acting Postmaster General Heath, in a circular recently issued recommends the establishment of suitable boxes by the roadside in which carriers may de- posit mail as they pass, in districts de- sirous of securing rural free delivery. The time which would otherwise be consumed by carriers in reaching resi- dences some distance back from the road will thus be saved, the service will be rendered more efficient, its cost will be reduced and the probabil- ity of its becoming a permanen: fya- ture of postal administration wil be fncreased. ITALIAN REPUBLIC SUGGESTED IN AN ARTICLE SPIRED BY THE VATICAN. Solution ofthe Eternal Question Be- tween the Vatican and the Quiz inal—Constitutions of America and Switzerland Suggested as Ex- amples—Belief That the Dynasty Is Menaced More Seriously Than Usual—Either Itajian Monarehy or the Matican Must Go. ‘London, tan. 16. — The Rome cor- respondent of the Daily Chronicle in a startling statement quotes largely from an article in Civilta Cattolica, which, he declares, is directly inspired by the Vatican and the pope, advocat- ing the solution of the eternal question between the Vatican and the Quirinal and the establishment of an Italian re- publie. The article, which is based on the pope’s Christmas allocution, de- clares that the thing which stands op- posed to papal independence is not Italian unity but “the special and cor- rect form wherein that unity is at present maintained, with results much more disastrous to the state than to the holy see.” It proceeds to assert that the co- existence of the Vatican and the Ital- fan monarchy is impossible and that one or the other must go. It then sug- gests the constitutions of Switzerland and America as examples “of admira- ble and glorious constitutions; true union of mation and state though dif- fering from that of Italy, which has produced nothing but weakness, mis- ery and starvation.” ‘The article concludes: “Without the aid of foreign bayonets the true Italy will find for itself its own way and will rise again, let us hope, from the ignominy in which it now fies pros- trate to true greatness.” The Chronicle’s correspondent as- serts that this is “‘an international rev- elation to the outer world of the pol- icy actuating the inner mind of Cardi- nal Rampolla, papal secretary of state. Probably there would be no truth in the supposition that either Cardinal Rampolla or the pope has any idea of eyen a temporary alliance with the Republican party, but yet they believe that while peace with the king is im- possible, it might be possible with a republic. The reason for the appear- ance of this astonishing pronounce- | ment at the present moment is the be- ' lief that not only the ministry but the dyna: y itself is menaced more seri- than usual.” STOPVED BY THE POLICE. Attempt to Pull Off a Fight Between Kid McCoy and Jimmie Ryan. Cincinnati, Jan. 16.—A special from Dayton says: An effort was made to pull off the much-talked-of four-round contest between Kid McCoy and Aus- tralian Jimmy Ryan. Both men had on their fighting costumes and the kid was in his corner of the ring, when a wrangle in Ryan’s dressing room stopped the whole business. Ryan was to receive $125 if he stayed four rounds or half that sum if he was knocked out. Manager Frank Kelly insisted that the $62.50 which Ryan was to receive, win or lose, should be turned over. Homer Selby, the Kid’s brother, said that the money was ready but that Ryan should first give evidence of his good faith. The chief of police arrived and put an end to further proceedings. POPULIST: OVEL PLAN. Questions Referred to a Vote of the Rank and File of the Par St. Louis, Jan. 16. — The Pepulists have concluded their work in t city by giving out the details of setting in motion their novel plan of taking a referendum vote of the rank and file of their party. The questions sub- mitted are What date is your choice for holding a national convention for the nomination of presidential candi- dates, Monday, July 4, 1898; Friday, May 26, 1899, or Thursday, Feb. 22, 19007’ The ballots are similar to the Australian ticket and will be polled by the local committees and Populist press. The leaders of the middle-of- the-road element expressed themselves as desirous that work of reorganiza- tion be conducted strictly within the party so as to merit the approval of the national committee.

New York, Jam. 116.—A dispatch to the World from Dampa, says: Among the passengers from Havana was W. T. Fulton, a cattle dealer. When the riot started in Havana he was near the first newspaper office attacked. He says the mob was led by officers of Spanish volunteers who had become enraged over the .autonomist articles in the papers. They attacked the of- fices of La Discussion:and La Marina, totally wrecking them. News of the riot reached Blaneo and he sent of- ficers from his personal staff to quell the mob. There was a platoon of reg- ulars in charge of a:Spanish colonel, and as soon as he spoke the mob recognized him and made a demonstra- ttion against him. Words ensued, and ‘some volunteer slappeil the colonel’s ‘face. He was then seized and his badge torn off and trampled on the ground. The crowd all ‘the time was erying “Viva Spain.” The colonel’s uniform was torn off. The crowd then ‘proceeded to the office of La Lucha, a semi-government organ, smashed its ‘presses and threw the type into the stveet. El Reconcentrado suffered the ame fate a few moments Jater. This svas all done ‘because the papers fa- vored autonomy. About three min- ates before the Olivette, on which Fulton sailed, left Havana, a passen- ger was brought aboard who said that as he was leaving the pier he heard that an American woman had been shot during the riot. gy tt QUIET IN HAVANA.

One of the dispatches stated that there would be no objec- tion to the presence in Havana of Clara Barton, of the National Red Cross, the authorities being ready to extend to her the same privileges as those given to any other citizens. pd call SCARE HAS PASSED. Cuban Excitement in Washington Has Subsided. Washington, Jan. 16. The Cuban scare has subsided entirely and little interest or anxiety was manifested in it in official circles. President Mc- Kinley was unusually free from call- ers and even the office-seekers were not on hand in their usual numbers. The first congressional caller was sen- ator Sewell of New Jersey, who was soon followed by Representative Gros- venor and Senator Platt, but none of these visitors discussed foreign affairs with the president. ig A STRICT CENSORSHIP. Newspapers at Havana Have to Be Old and “Ably Edited.” Havana, Jan. 16.—A decree has been published prohibiting the publication in daily newspapers of cable dis- patches without previous censorship and without twelve hours’ notice of their receipt.

Another edict will be published shortly forbidding the gathering of groups of mere than four persons either in the streets or in the stores, PENSION FRAUD ABUSES. Interesting Revelations at the Chi- cago Police Investigation. Chicago, Jan. 16. — Gross abuses of the pension funds of the Chicago police department were disclosed at a meet- ing of the senate committee investi- gating the Chicago civil service com- mission and police force. A list was produced of over sixty ex-policemen now on the pension rolls of the police department, who, it is claimed are per- fectly able to do duty as police officers, but who have been retired, so it is al- leged, for the purpose of making a place for some candidate for a police star who has a political pull.

There remained another case, that against both jointly, but when this was called the county attorney entered a nolle prosequi. The defend- ants were discharged and their bonds- men released. Fine Fars Damaged. St. Paul, Special—A blaze in the basement of Ransom & Horton’s fur store was responsible for $3,000 dam- age to the firm’s stock.

St. Paul, Special, —Successful as was the first day of the National Live Stock Feeders and Breeders’ conven- tion, and great as was the interest in the proceedings, it. was fairly eclipsed by the session yesterday. In place of the 200 delegates present on the pre- vious day there were twice that num- ber in the hall. The programme was not a whit less practical than that of the opening day. Splendid testimony was given throughout of the exception- al advantages of Minnesota as a feed- ing state, and the wonder was fre- quently expressed that the farmers of the state had not long ago recognized the possibilities in this direction. ‘The delegates closed the sessions with an uvanimous expression of the high ed- ucational value of the convention. The convention has done more than entertain and instruct those in attend- ance. It has been the means of bring- ing together a larger number of the members of the live stock breeders of the state than have ever assembled be- fore. The principal papers were read by Dr. H. M. Reynolds, R. M. Allen, John A. Craig, James J. Hill and Mrs. Vir- ginia Meridith. The convention wound up with a reception in the evening at the Commercial club. KIDNAPPED AT ANOKA.

Tower, Minn., Spec Farmer Bradley is busy distributing the allotment of supplie ued by the government to the Indians of the Nett Lake reservation. It consists of about 30,000 pounds of flour and 15,- 000 pounds of pork, which gives each individual red forty pouds of one and twenty of the other. The distribution of supplies at this time is due largely to the almost total failure of the rice crop, Which formed the principal arti- cle of the red man’s food, and also to the fact that the annuity paid the In- dians was considerably below the amount paid in former years. The In- dians were, of course, left in a most deplorable state, and unless some sub- stantial assistance had been given by the government, many would have died of hunger before another crop vas ready to harvest. SALOON ROW ENDS IN MURDER. 1. — Indian Fatal Fight on the Streets of Sleepy Eye. Sleepy Eye, Minn., Special.—William I’.
