I wish to urge the value of this observance. In addition to planting trees, if our school offlcem would give a little attention to the sur­ roundings and see that all needed repairs are properly made, encourage and assist our teachers and children in decorating their rooms in some simple manner, to make them cheerful and inviting as we would have our homes, I am sure the i£- J I •• * : * >>: »A<>: * - fe: L^L:/'1 Looksomewhere el^e than Fox T^ake for stale water and somft. - where else than here for stale good*.

The opinion here is that the whole story was connected and writ­ ten in the office of the New York paper which printed it as a special Washington dispatch. What makes this opinion all the stronger is that this same paper in its editorial columns has been predicting just such a state of affairs ever since the fourth of March. It is very strange that sach a startling discovery should have been made by only one correspondent, out of hundreds prowling around Wash­ ington seeking news for their papers. Unless something that is at the present time entirely unlooked for shall occur, Secretary Blaine will continue to look , after our foreign affairs until March 1893, if not longer. „ General Clinton B. Fislr, the Pro­ hibition candidate for President in 1888, whose party prevented General Harrison from carrying Connecticut and New Jer­ sey, and tried to prevent him from carry­ ing New York, Indiana and other States, has asked President Harrison to keep that Illinois Democrat, J. H. Oberly. I# office. The impudence oi this request 1b obvious. It should be an early duty of President Harrison to relieve Mr. .Oberly of his duties as Indian Commis- : moner and also General Fisk of his berth f I* connection with Indian affairs. j IS*The suggestion of State Senator] ; Chapman, of Illinois, that the convicts v in the prisons of the State be set to I making the grade of twine used on self- binding reapers, and so defeat the twine I trust, which is such a burden to the | farmers, is one that suggests a great . deal. Whatever can be said against the. Injurious competition of convict with \ y free labor, there can be no valid argu­ ment against its use in breaking np as artificial and iniquitous combination of ^ v this kind. | NFThe President informed a Demo­ cratic Senator that it was his purpose, Whenever he had to appoint a Democrat to office, such a# one member of the Civil Service Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission, to insist upon his being a protectionist. This decision has Created a panic among the free-trade ^Democratic aspirants, chief among whom ftiay be mentioned ex-Secretary of the < Treasury Thompson, who wants to serve his country as a Civil Service Commis- j moner. t ¥af The proposed erection of a building I twenty-eight stories high in Minneapolis J ; Is suggestive of the posibilities of real «wtate owners who have but little land well located, il they only would looki Latest shad(.B an<1 st ,e8 _ rty^rd.
