THE TRANSCRIPT
Entered %econd-clau nutter at the post office at
Ana tin, Minnesota.
C. H. DAVIDS Oft, Editor and Proprietor.
AUSTIN. WKDNBSDA Y, AUGUST 28.1885.
DAKOTA returns a population of 413,759.
against 135,177 five years ago, and 14,181
in 1870. A wonderful irrowth.
THE Hastings Gazette says the cities of
St. Paul and Minneapolis area "brace of
frauds." Todd does not believe the census
returns.
W. W. BRADEN, State Auditor, has
been mentioned for the office of Gover­
nor. Capt. Braden is a square, honest
man, of good horse sense, and that kind
of a man would make a good Governor.
IT is said of Doran nowadays that it is
mighty hard to get a promise of support
from him, but when his word has passed
you can proceed to bet your earthly all
that the Le Sueur senator will stick to
it and won't let Kelly, Meagher nor any
on* else move him.
"You may count it as a certainty,"
commented a Minneapolis Democrat
who does not train in the wake of Dr.
Ames, "that the next State Democratic
convention will present about as much
music as the imagination can paint. We
are laying for'Me and Mike,'and so are
a good many other Democrats through­
out the state. I want to predict the big­
gest kind of a circus."
IN answer to an inquiry from Secretary
Judson, Attorney Gen. Ilahn has given
his opinion that the State Agricultural
Society cannot grant authority to persons
to sell beer or other intoxicating liquors
upon the State fair grounds, inasmuch as
the same are still within the jurisdiction
of the town of Hose, Ramsey county, the
people of which have voted no license. It
will be a benefit to the beer-guzzlers to be
in a place where they can give their stom­
achs a rest.
THE sentiment of the State is over­
whelmingly against the extra ssssion.
The schema is only favored from selfish
motives. The St. Paul papers favor it,
because legislative (sessions help the town.
The only good reason favor of the ses­
sion is the reapportionment of members
in the Legislature in accordance with the
recent census. A few localities will ne
cessarily be wronged in this respect, but
the Constitution provides a time for right
iag these wrongs, and that time will not
come tintil the regular session of the Leg
islature in 1S80.
THERE must he a revised statute declar­
ing that the public debt shall not be
made larger. There may be. somewhere
in the world another debtor carrying
f234.822,613 in his pocket while he is
paying from eight to twelve millions
each month for interest, but The Current
will not try to find him. Secretary Man­
ning would have to pay out silver if he
did right, and he would at the same time
deprive his comrades, the national bank­
ers, of both their bonds and their cur­
rency. Rather than do this he is allowing
them 3 per cent, interest on at least
$134,000,000—about four million dollars
a year.—The Current.
IN ancient Mexico the people knew
nothing of the prohibition or local option
methods, but they had a summary way
of punishing drunkenness. If an officer
or man of distinction got drunk he was
bung, and his body was then dragged
along a public highway and thrown in
the river. If the drunkard belonged to
the lower classes he was sold into slavery
for the first offense, and for the second
he was hung. It was the theory of the
Mexican law that the offender who was
the highest in rank merited the most
rigorous punishment. Under such
code of law drunkenness was of very rare
occurrence among the ancient Mexi­
cans.—Floating Item.
ON Aug. 22d, 1862, New Ulm was the
theater of one of the most important
events in the history of Minnesota, for
then and there was fought the battle
with the Sioux which arrested their fero­
cious invasion of the white settlements,
with its horrible incidents of indiscrimi
nate butchery and revolting cruelty
The twenty-third anniversary of that
decisive battle was celebrated last Sat
urday at New Ulm with fitting cere
monies and it was especially appropriate
that the gifted gentleman who was the
leader ot the brave band of hastily assem
bled volunteers who participated in that
gallant and successful defense of New
Ulm, should have been chosen to deliver
the principal address on that occasion.
Among the many conspicuous services
which Judge Flandrau has rendered to
the state, his heroic and successful
defense of New Ulm is the one which
best entitles him to the civic crown]—
Pioneer Press.
THE following is from a sentence re
centiy pronounced by Judge Reading of
Chicago, upon some liquor dealers who
had violated the law by selling to mi
nors: "By the law you may sell it to men
or women, if they will buy. You have
given your boud and paid your license
to sell to them, and no one has aright to
molest you in your legal business. No
matter what the consequences may be,
no matter what poverty and destitution
are produced by your selling according to
law, you have paid your money for this
privilege, and you are licensed to pursue
your calling. No matter what families
are distracted and rendered miserable,
no matter what wives are treat­
ed with violence what children
starve or mourn over the degradation of
parent—your business is legalized, and
no one may interfere with you for it. No
matter what mother may agonize over
the lost of a son, or sister blusET at the
shame of a brother, you have a right to
disregard them all, and pursue your legal
calling—you are licensed. You may fit
up your lawful place of business in the
most enticing and captivating form you
may furnish it with the most costly and
elegant equipments for your own lawful
trade you may fill it with the allurements
of amusement you may use all arts to
allure visitors you may skillfully ar­
range and expose to view your choicest
wines and captivating beverages you
may induce thirst by all.contrivances to
produce a raging appetite to the full, be­
cause it is lawful, you have paid for it—
vou have a license. You may allow boys
and children to frequent your saloons
they may witness the apparent satisfac­
tion with which their seniors quaff the
sparkling glass you may be schooling
and training them for the period of twenty
one. when they, too, can participate—
for all this is lawful. You may hold the
cup to their lips but you must not let
them drink—that is unlawful. For,
while you have all these privileges for
the money you pav, this poor privilege
of selling to chUarefi is denied you. Here
parents have the^right to S&J, 'Leave my
son to me until the law gives y#» aright
to destroy him. Do not anticipate that
terrible moment when I can pssert:
for him no other rights of protection.
That will be soon enough for me. for]
his sister, for his mother, for his friends,
for the community, to see him take
the road to death. Give him to us in his
childhood at least. Let us have a few
hours of his youth, in whiph we can
enjoy his innocence, to repay us in som?
small degree for the care and love lavish­
ed upon him.' This is something which
jou, who now stand prisoners at the bar,
lave not paid for this is not embraced in
your license. For this offence the court
sentences you."
ANOTHER WORLD'S EXPOSITION.
Expositions are great civilizers. They
bring people together and make them
acquainted. They discover mines of pre­
cious metals, mountains and beds of use­
ful necessary minerals, forests of the most
valuable woods, fields of undeveloped
fertility, and markets for all products
and manufactures.
The late World's Exposition, notwith­
standing unfortunate delays and the
execrable weather which deterred so many
from attending, was a wonderful sur­
prise to the people in these respects. It
was so much a success that its friends have
determined that the good work it com­
menced shall go on.
The new company called the North,
Central and South American Exposition
are.scattering far and wide their an­
nouncements and advertising matter.
It has purchased the plant of buildings
and property of the old Exposition. It
has secured the retention of the best part
of the old exhibits and it will re-open
for a period of tweuty weeks on the 10th
of November next.
The various impediments and adverse
influences that operated so strongly
against the success of the late Exposition
will be removed. The day of opening
is in the most pleasant and attractive
season of the year in that section, ^team
passenger railway communication has
been established between the center of
the city and the Exposition grounds.
This will abolish one serious objection
by visitors of deficient local transporta­
tion.
Railroad rates will be very low, not ex
ceeding one cent a mile from any point.
Accommodation in the city will be abun
dant and at most reasonable rates.
The. prospects of success of the Exposi­
tion are very brilliant. Capt. S. Buck,
who succeeded Major Burke as the Direc
tor-General of the World's Exoosition
and gave such universsl satisfaction, is
the new Director-General and is deter
mind that it shall equal if it does not
excel that.
BIG BILLS FOR PUBLIC FUNERALS.
In a recent interview Undertaker Mer
ritt, to whose hands Dr. Newman gave
the conduct of the Grant funeral, inti­
mated that the bills might aggregate
thirty thousand dollars or might even
reach as high as fifty thousand. Much
of the work was of necessity performed
by other undertakers, who had not yet
rendered statements. Hence the ina
bility to give an accurate statement of
the final cost. But whatever the amount
may be, whether fifty, thirty or ten thou­
sand dollars, it will at once be asked of
what items is this immense bill made up
and why does it cost so much more for
undertakers to bury a man when the
public pays the expense than when
his relatives furnish the money? The
same questions were asked when the
Garfield funeral was over and they
constantly recur in less prominent cases
where States, cities or other municipal
bodies conduct funerals.
It cannot be asserted with any regard
to probability that the cost, even with
the addition of the most, liberal profit,
would reach any of the sums named.
The really costly features of the Grant
funeral were supplied by the public or
by the railroads. The tram was a free
one. The buildings in which the body
lay in state in Albany and New York be
longed to the State and the city of New
York and the municipality furnished the
three hundred and fifty carriages for'tlie
mourners and guests. The city also gave
the burial place. It is, therefore, difficult
to understand what has contributed to
make the large bills which the under
takers talk about with such easy non
chalance.
It is almost universally recognized that
reform is necessary in funeral display
and expense, and this can best be promo
ted if the Federal Government and States
and cities will insist upon paying reason
able bills and no others
.—Philadelphia
Times.
KNCOUK AGING BUSINESS VIEW.
It is encouraging to observe a hopeful
feeling prevailing in the East with refer
ence to a business revival. The New
York World, which is always cautious
in this respect, says that "although busi
ness in financial circles is by no means
active, there are abundant indications of
a gradual improvement in trade and of a
more hopeful feeling among merchants
Under the promise of enormous crops of
cotton and corn, buyers exhibit more
confidence and firms in the South and
West have of late been replenishing
stocks with much freedom. The move
ment had a decided effect upon cotton
goods last] week, prices having advan
ced under a good inquiry. The harden
ing of prices is of course due in part to
diminished production and the gradual
reduction of stocks in first hands, but
nevertheless an increased demand has
something to do with it. and the fact
that this is the case shows clearly that
the feeling of depression is wearing off.
If the cotton and corn crops when harvest
ed yield anything like the amounts now
predicted by competent authorities, there
will certainly be a substantial revival of
business in the cotton and corn belts
and New York will surely share in the
improvement. At present, however, the
disposition is to go slow, as any serious
damage to cotton and corn, following
upon the heels of the partial failure of
the wheat harvest, would upset all calcu­
lations and entail serious losses upon
those who form hasty conclusions and
act upon them. Thus for some time we
may look for a moderate increase in the
volume of business here, without excite
ment or 'boom' in any branch of trade.
It is obvious that this condition of affairs
is to be preferred at least until the safety
of our great products and staples is aa
sured."
HANCOCK'S SOLDIERLY COURTESY.
Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, re­
lated an incident of his experience in
New York which appeared to have touch­
ed him very deeply. He wts complimen­
ted in the first place by being invited to
act as aid upon Gen. Hancock's staff.
When he called to report for duty he was
handed an order which directed staff of­
ficers to their rank. Gen. Gordon was
embarrassed when he read this! He had
held one' of the highest offices in the
Confederate army, but under the exist­
ing order of things he had no rank. So
he solved the vexed question of his posi­
tion by going modestly to the end of
the line, below every one of the regular
army officers down tp tfye humblest. But
he was not permitjted to remain thpre.
An aid from t3ener|tl Hancock caxne gal­
loping up and directed General Gordon
as the ranking officer to take his position
"5'V
at th^ head of the staff next to Hancock
himself. The recognition of his old
grade deeply touched General Gordon,
not that he cared any thing for the posi
tion itself. He is too much of a man of the
world to be moved by trifles but the
spirit of courtesy and friendliness that
dictated the offer stirred his chivalrous
nature to its fullest depths. Again at
the tomb General Gordon fell back,
deciding to yield the place to some of
General Hancock's regular military as­
sociates. But even then he was foiled in
his attempt by the watchful courtesy of
General Hancock. Word came quickly
to General Gordon that he was out of
position, and he was directed to move up
above General Roger Jones and hold liis
place until the close of the ceremony.—

Castor Oil.
One of the chief uses to which castor
oil is now put is that of dressing and
softening leather for boots. It was
formerly used for dosing children whose
stomachs were disordered. And an
awful dose it was. Now we give suffer­
ing children Brown's Iron Bitters, which
tones the stomach, regulates digestion,
and imparts'strength to the whole body.
Brown's Iron Bitters is incomparably
better then castor oil, and pleasant to
take.

A DESIRABLE FARM.
The S. E. of Section 30, and tlio
N. E. of Section 31, in Township
102, of Range 17. 320 Acres.
This line property was formerly owned by,
and Is well and favorably known as the "WM.
T. MANDEVILLE FAllM."
It is well situated, about six miles south
east of Austin, and lies handsomely, on either
side of Uose Creek, a beautiful, never failing
stream.
There is a heavy trrowth of young timber
on the place, and amain traveled road on tbe
east line of tbe property. A small frame
farm-bouse, shed barn, and granary on the
farm. Tbe soil is excellent, producing line
crops.
This property is admirably adapted for a
stock farm, as well as for grain raising. The
unfailing and abundant water supply, tine
pasturage land, and a wood tract for shelter
of stock, give all tbe requisites necessary for
that branch of farming, while the cleared and
cultivated portion of the farm yields largely
of all grains, and other farm products.
Tbe growing, thriving city of Austin, but
six miles distant, affords the best market fa­
cilities for farm products, and the surround­
ings, in the way of good farms, well improved,
combine to make the property valuable and
very desirable.
The property will be sold at the very mode­
rate price of #5,000.
