"Washington, July 1st, 1887. Mrd" Cleveland has returned from a brief sojourn in New York, where she has been modestly exhibiting one of the most admirable traits of her character,t the fidelity with which she maintains the friendships she formed in girlhood and college life. "The first lady of the Land," seems more youthful and radi ant than ever, I learn that the Presi dent and his wife contemplate a rather extensive western tour next fall, visiting besides St. Louis, Kansas (Jit}, Detroit and other places, which ill probably be the first active movement in behalf of his boom for renomination. When I write of Cleveland, it brings Mr. Blaine to my mind From the statement of Senatois Fry and Hale who are bosom ends ot the Maine Statesman, I conclude that he too will be a canidate for the Piesidency in 1888 foi both say they belive he will be re nominated. All of these gentlemen are at present in Europe, and I infer they have fine opportunities for con tinuing their confidential relations. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bayard have pooled their small stock of brains and each endeavored to our-toady the other in expressing their admiration for Queen Victoria, England's royal figure-head. Contiastthis contemptibly obsequious lack of true patriotic feeling with Mr. Blaine's declination to accept the invi tation of Prime Minister Salisbury, to attend a reception at the Foreign Office, in honor of visiting royalties. The lecent examination, thefirstunwith der the new Civil Service Rules, of clerks in the Quarter-Master-General's office, reveals the fact that it is simply a scheme to oust Republicans from office on finely scholastic questions that have no reference to clerical duties for out of 39 clerks examined, but ten passed, in face of the fact, that all have satisfactory records as to efficiency. Many of the clerks made no attempt to answer these questions as only a profes sor or a schoolboy could do so success fully, and so the farce ended. The Pension Office has overhauled the persons who have used an old infirm soldier to di't^aud the Government out ot 13,000, in pension money and lecoveied most of the sum Those who are v^idant enough to com mit such frauds always come to grief, as the United States have no mercy on swindlers. So much has been written about bat tle-flags that I have made a visit to the War department and personally in spected thse tattered, though treasured relics of lebellion, finding nearly 600 of them, named in a book with this ti tle: "Record of Rebel flags captured by the Union troops since April 19th, 1861." In the same room are over 200 Federal flags takeu by Confederate troops and recaptured with Richmond. The remainder are also Union banners, turned over to the War Department by the several State organizations. Some of the Confedeiate flags are made of women's dresses, all of them are worn by time into shreds. The Washington Grand Army Posts as well as many others in various por tions of the country,'have endorsed the new Pension Bill, for the benefit of the helpless loved ones of the heroic boys in blue who fell in the rebellion and they hope to secure its passage, despite the veto of a hostile unpatriotic Presi dent, who, it appears, prides himself on antagonizing the interests of those who died that the Union might live. Many Republicans believe that Gen. Sheridan or Gen. Fairchild should lead them in 1888 and thus make a square fight between those who love and honor the Jnion veterans and those who hate and dishonor them, as it would seen that Cleveland who did his fighting with a substitute does. It is now generally believed that the President has concluded that there will be no necessity for an extra session of Congress. He has continually ex pressed himself as opposed to an extra session, and has concluded that a call of Congress is not at all necessary and has so expressed himself to several prommient men who have conversed with him upon the subject. The fears of the New York financiers that there was danger of a stringency the mo ne\ maiket, has alone caused the ad mmistrHtion to considi the demands for an extra session, and these fears have been dispelled by the Comptroller of the Currency who states that the bus iness of the country is in a good condi tion generally. A safe and satisfactory business is being done, and there is nothing to cause an apprehension of any financial disarrangement. Since the issue of silver certificates commenced a few months since, silver coin has accumulated in the Treasury at such a rate as to by fax exceed the storage capacity of the silver vaults, and there is at the present time upwards of $80,000,000, in coin, packed in kegs and boxes, and stored in the corridors in the basement of the building. A guard, armed with Winchester repeat ing rifles is maintained night and day in each of the hallways leading to the treasure. A large force of workmen are engaged in constructing a vault for the reception of this coin, bnt although the work is being pushed forward night and day, it will necessarily be several months before the vault will be com pleted and in the mean time the guard will be retained in the hallways. Having duly disposed of my packag es and bundles, I proceeded to observe the surroundings 1 1 VOLUME X. NO. 27. NEW ULM, BROWN COUNTY, MINN., WEDNESDAY, July 6, 1S87. WHOLE NUMBER, 495JN* Wayside Sketches. Wrttten for the Review by Arthur F. Fisher. I. Ever since the times of Herodotus with his tales of African wonder and of Marcokolo with his Tartar narratives it has been the custom of literary inclined travelers to make public their observa tions. In the ancient times, even up to the invention and application of theplaced steam'engine, the chief value of these descriptions consisted in the instruction they afforded to all in these days how ever, where travel is so universal, any sketches written of lands serve simply to brighten up the picture of memory of such as have once gone over the scenes. the traveling agent that significicant, selfimportant, don't- care-for-any-body-except-my-self man the venerable independent "englishman a mountain of peanuts and orange shells about his seat, just at present en gaged in extracting the juice of a lem on the maid of mystical age, asking a gentlemanly bachelor who sa't across from her to favor her with a cup of wa ter the bridal pair enjoying that bliss ful heaven on earthin a railroad car all were seemingly unconscious of the fact that others but themselves were present all were wishing and hoping tor, maybe calculating on future pros pects and your reporter was writing sketches. Dr.SamuelJohnson once'oaid"All green fields are alike, sir let us take a walk down Fleet Street*" This great lexico grapher was seemingly no lover of naKretsch, ture or else a melancholy character of the type generally denominated as book worms tor who, going uoithwaid fiom New Ulm, would not find a great inter est in the immense fields of lie it soon to suppl the wheat of the noith westcoveimg the hills with a verdant green inteispersed with acres of torest some in then native grandeur and oth ers partly trimmed out and suited to complement B\ ron's words. "There is a plea-stuf in the pathless woods." Tne call of bi ^py Eye however awoke us from oui ute.im and meant for me to stop over The inhabitants ot this hopeful town are of an independent, de cidedly amenc 11 like cast of mind, confident be} oud all believe, and to hear them talk you would think you had just arrived at the metropolis of Minnesota. It has about 1200 inhabi tants and is a growing little place. Churches, sotiools, mills, banks, express office, business blocks of brick and a regular equipped fire department with water works, aie its distinguishing fea tures. Springfield, a town of about 500 inand habitants, was next visited* It enjoys a prosperous season everything seems booming and what isn't, is made to seem so. Improvements are continually go ing^ on and its prospects are bright. From there to St. Peter will be ourthat next trip taking us through some of the finest farming lands in Minnesota. We arrived duly at St. Peter, and with a grip in each hand started for the busi ness part of the town. On the way (about one mile) we heard one man remark, that the R. R. company might just as well have built the depot half way between this and the next station thus using it for both, places and sav ing building, and giving the public a little more exercise. The county court house is a building that the citizens may be proud of. Among other sights may be mentioned the State Insane Hospital, Gustavus Adolphus College, High School build ing, the numerous business blocks and elegant churches. Having duly rested ourselves' here and taken in all there was to be seen we bought a ticket for Dover, Olmstead Co., Minn., and soon the iron steed was on its trip again with its load of human ity flying over the beautiful prairies on which the wealth and prosperity of the northwest is founded. Dover is a pret ty little town with about 300 inhabi tants, mostly retired farmers. There are no great buildings, neither great enterprises, but tor one who enjoys a peaceful, quiet, rustic location, this is the place. Around the village live well to do farmers, all old settlers who have for the last quarter century or more, tilled the soil and raised "their stock. The farm residences are all substantial structures, mostly of brick and giye the wnole country a* prosper ous, wealthy appearance. St. Charles about four miles from Dover, and in Winona Co has about 1500 pop. and a business like air about it. A large carriage factory, wagon shop and plow factory employs quite a number of men and these with smaller concerns of different character give the whole a sort of factory-town-like look. There is also a high school building, which deserves special notice also the library founded and upheld by the Citi zens.
