' Submitting an abstract proposition to re ftuco municipal taxation, and then figuring jut the details whereby it can be done, are two very different things. At lease the Taxpayers' association seems to have found it so. It is a very easy thing, and the most natural thing in the world for a taxpayer so sit down in his office or counting room md say that the taxes ought to be lowered. But take that same individual and isk him to present a scheme whereby :he taxes can be reduced and at the same nine preserve' all the requirements of an effective city government, and he will find something that will require unlimited study md consideration. The Globe publishes this morning the resolution of the Taxpayers'. Association calling upon the council to make i reduction of 15 per cent, in the municipal taxes, and also an interview with tlie sec retary of the association, In which are set forth the reasons ' why the redaction Is asked. In the same connection we give an interview with the city comptroller in which are set forth in detail the require-, ments of the various departments of. the city government, and from which it is made clear that the. reduction cannot be made • without' ; crippling '• the effectiveness' of the most important]departments,' or by abandon ing improvements which are already begun and the completion of which is ' an absolute necessity. ;-, •>• •' . . 7- ■'" ■'•' 7- ■ ' ■. v '"' It is not apparent why the association, asks for a reduction -in the tax rate at this time. In view of the rapid expansion of the city and the corresponding increase in requirements the citizens of St. Paul have been congratulating themselves that the rate of municipal taxation has been kept as low as it is. That there has been no popu lar demand for a decrease is evident from the fact that of the 800 or 900 members of the Taxpayers' association only about 250 of them. thought It worth while to give any sort of a response to the resolu tion sent to them by the executive committee. The reasons assigned by the secretary of the association will hardly con vince the average taxpayer that a reduction is demanded. ' It must be remembered that St. Paul has passed beyond the require ments of a village regime, where a district constable can perform the entire police duty of the borough and a volunteer company of young men with 'ladders and buckets can answer the purposes of a fire department. With a : population now of over 125,000, and absolutely certain to be a quarter of a million within less than five years, it sounds a little absurd to talk about the city dispensing with or reducing its po lice force or of curtailing the fire depart ment. The demand of the hour is an in crease and improvement in both of these departments. It is still more singular to listen to the secretary's talk about the fail ure or even lack of efficiency in our school system when only a few weeks ago the New, Orleans exposition awarded to Minnesota the grand diploma of honor on the educational exhibit. We are not prepared to dissent from Mr. Mason's opinion, that a reform might be accomplished by a law protecting children of a tender age from being confined too long at a time in the school-room. On the contrary we are disposed to agree with the secretary in that theory. But that is a matter pertaining to the legislative department exclusively and does not enter into this discussion. When the Taxpayers' association, or any other association, undertakes to reverse the wheels of progress by extin guishing, or even crippling, the public school system, it has undertaken a task that cannot be accomplished. What was known as the old field school system, where the children of a neighborhood were gathered into a log cabin for instruction for two or three months out of the year, and the teacher boarded around among the patrons, did well enough on the frontier in the primitive days. The civilization of this age has progressed so far beyond the primi tive methods of pioneer life that it will take several taxpayers' associations to roll it back. ' Unless the St. Paid Taxpayers' associa tion can advance better arguments in behalf of its proposed 15 per cent, reduction in the tax rate than those presented by its sec retary, it would do well to hang its harp on the willow and refrain from making future suggestions as to the financial management of the city. St. Paid is emphatically on the upward road and is progressing to the great destiny which awaits it. Bourbonistic ideas and methods are not suited to its wants. ' m A CnRONJC DIRT-FLINGER. i Both of the Minneapolis morning news papers, the Tribune and the Pioneer Press, contained an extract yesterday morning from the Boston Advertiser maligning St. Paul and predicting that in time this city would become the rendezvous of the slum driven out of the Eastern cities. The Boston paper was inspired in this dirty and unwarranted- fling at St. Paul . by the . fre quent publications made in the Pioneer Press in which it has been asserted that Mayor Rice and his Democratic adminis tration intended to inaugurate a wide-open policy that would fill the city with the slum classes. We had expected better and more neighborly treatment at the hands of the Tribune, which is usually disposed to be fair in its dealings with St. Paul matters. We did not expect anything better of the other Minneapolis paper, the Pioneer Press, which never loses an opportunity to malign St. Paul and to use its influence in destroy ing St. Paul interests. ■ — —^—— THE OHIO NOMINATION". The nomination of Judge Foraker by the Ohio Republicans was in accordance with the plans of the triparite combination already outlined in the Globe, by which Senator Sherman expects to capture the next presidential nomination from the Re publican party. This fact will invest the Ohio campaign with unusual interest, as rake it's election would give Sherman a tremenduous boom, while, on the other hand, a defeat would be the death knell of Sherman's ambition. It is made to the interest of ex-Gov. Foster to work for Foraker because all the hope Foster has of reaching the senate is through For akek's election. -If Foraker is de feated and the legislature should be Republican, that means the re turn of Mr. Sherman to the senate over Foster, because, having lost his first battle in the presidential race, Mr.' Sherman's only hope to retain political standing would be by going back to the senate. That he would make a desperate fight under such circumstances | against Foster . for the senatorial prize goes without saying. • It was. perhaps, designed to taffy the friends of Mr. Blame when the bloody shirt feature of the platform was adopted. Mr. Sherman is shrewd enough to know that when he is playing for presidential stakes he has to keep an eye Blame-w ard, for the Plumed Knight Is just as surely a candidate for the Republican nomination in .1888 as ShermanTs. Mr. Blame is for tunately situated with reference to the Ohio canvass, If Foraker is defeated, that virtually kills off Sherman, who is a dangerous rival. If Foraker is elected, that will give Mr. Blame a precedent whereby he can urge the wisdom of renom inating a defeated candidate. Either way the wind blows' in Ohio it must be favor able to Mr. Blame's candidacy. The de feat of Foraker and the killing off of Sherman it was feared would prove too tempting for the Maine statesman, so the Sherman' convention at Spring— deemed it a ' politic stroke to insert a dec laration in the -platform which was a. virtual repetition of Mr. Blame's speech delivered immediately, after • the result of the last presidential election was known, charging the Democratic victory to fraud and the suppression of the ballot. Whether this dish of taffy will be strong/enough to pla cate the -Blame following in Ohio will be developed further along. . . There are other element-; in the Ohio can vass, however, which neither Mr." Blame nor Mr. Sherman can control. The nomi nation of Foraker revives the issues of the' campaign when Gov. lloadly de feated that gentleman. If. does not neces sarily require the renomination of lloadly by the Democrats, although that event is most probable. .. But it 'does necessitate a discussion of the liquor-tax. question, and this is compelled to be the leading state issue. The Democratic party has made its record- on. this question, both in state and national contests. The Republican party in Ohio changes front arid attempts to reverse its record. DWhether . this spasmodic effort to occupy Democratic camping ground will cut any. figure in winning votes is one of the problems of the approaching canvass. .It is hardly . probable that it will. . It looks now as if the Democratic party in Ohio ought to have a walk-over. .Of course : Sherman and Foster will put any amount of money Into -the canvass, but Ohio- is one state where it' takes a great deal of money' to go THE ST.

Yester day's demonstration, when the name of the ex-premier was hissed by the English peo ple wherever mentioned, was a verification of Mac ay's prediction! It was none the less unfortunate for the people of Eng land that it was for England's greatest statesman that such a disgraceful proceed ing occurred. Gladstone has fallen to rise no more, and whatever sin he may have been guilty of in public estimation, the re nown that his name and his services for more than half a century have reflected upon his country ought to have exempted him from this mortification. The great mistake of Gladstone's life was in relinquishing the good intentions he had toward Ireland. When he in augurated a liberal : Irish policy soon after the beginning of his second administration he had the grand . opportunity to make for himself an enduring fame and for his coun try a condition of tranquility. If Mr. Glad stone had pursued toward Ireland the course that his judgment dictated and his better nature prompted he would not only have brought about a reconciliation, but would have unified Great Britain in a na tional sentiment and interest stronger than has ever existed. As many another great man before him has done, Gladstone missed his opportunity and suffers the con sequence. He is an old man and it is hardly probable that he will ever appear in polit ical life again. It is a misfortune that he could not have retired without being in sulted by his ungrateful countrymen. In after years when Gladstone's name shines among the brightest . on the pages of English history his people will regret that their ancestors were so inconsiderate as to deal harshly with the fallen statesmen. ' 7 — **• ■ FAREWELL,, SUNSET. Of all the distinguished .Americans who have gone from us, or are going, to serve their country at foreign courts, none will be so universally missed as Sunset Cox. Eliminating the wit of Mr. Cox from the house of representatives will make the Con gressional Record in the future mighty dry reading. One of the oldest members of congress in continuous service, Mr. Cox is perhaps the best known public man in the country. It was very proper, therefore, that the metropolis city which he has repre sented so long should give him a farewell reception before he leaves for the Orient. The banquet at the Hoffman house last Tuesday evening, given by the prominent citizens of New York to Mr. Cox, was an occasion that had more of a popular than a political character, and men of all parties, factions, professions and business united in giving him a hearty good-bye on his depart ure for his new post. In the course of his remarks in reply to the toast of his health, Mr. Cox said that "America sends arms to the Orient for war and missionaries for peace, and after sending Turkey our inventive genius in shooting the body and saving the soul, we have nothing else to send but Pennsylvania petroleum, which is to be the light of , Asia." After expressing his regret that he must leave America, Mr. Cox thus refers to the close of his long congressional career: "It is a difficult thing to give up old associ ations and to form new habitudes. Since I have resigned my place at the capitol I have wandered about through its corridors aud halls like the ghost of my departed self. Al most every image seemed to wave 'adieu.' Even the corridors, from the old hall in which I first served to the new chamber wherein I made the first speech, echoed with personal thoughts and pleasant associations. But there must be an end of all occupations, and. ' for a wholesome, thorough living there must be more or less of change. We must; some times fold our tents like the Arabs. No longer for me the speaker's gavel, with its •rap,' 'rap,' 'rap;' no longer the fierce debate and the loud applause, 'which made ambition virtue.' No longer the 'I object' from the Occidental member to spoil the work of many months. No longer the five-minutes' debate upon a six-penny appropriation. No longer the previous question— dynamite which destroys so much of parliamentary power. 'Othello's occupation's gone' — gone to Helles pont. 777" '- r ;;77 i7>,; "And now, gentlemen, let me say in con clusion that while I bear the commission from the president of the United States, Giiover Cleveland, with which he has honored the city that I have served by honoring me per sonally, I shall also bear with me the remem brance of this evening as beyond all the mem ories of my life. Sweet will be , the balm of its recollections. I know, sir, how .hard it is to sing the Lord's sons- in a strange hind; but I hope over to look lovingly and reverently to this city of benevolence the Jerusalem of my. exile." . ■ » TIIE MAINE RIOT.

When a Ku-kiux. insurrec tion breaks oat in the South the negroes are the victims of the outrages. The Ku-klux' in Maine are outraging white people. There is a mystery about 11 this. While" the Re publican convention In Ohio was engrafting \ Mr. Blame's bloody-shirt speech in Its! platform, and was arraigning the Southern states for riotous and disorderly conduct, 1 the neighbors of Mr. Blame, who lives in Mama, were out on a regular jamboree, stoning the houses of inoffensive citizens, .mashing in windows, firing revolvers into apartments 'where women and children were asleep, Ku-kluxing newspaper editors and kicking up a row generally, such as would throw any rebel, lire-eating, negro killing, Southern-outrage, Ku-klux organi zation into a dark shade. 7 If Maine law lessness goes on at this rate the Ohio Re publicans will have to change the text of their platform or they will have Mr. Blame and his Maine constituency to ■ fight . from the word go. 7.717 - : — — : — : TnE unusual respact shown <to Minister Phelps yesterday by the English house of lords 'was intended as a tribute, to the posi tion the United States occupies among the nations of the world.

Chicago, June 12.— -Dr. De Wolf, city health commissioner, is preparing to renew his request to the city council for a large appropriation of money to be used in carry-" ing out a thorough house-to-house visita tion in the thickly populated parts of the city in anticipation of the early appearance of the cholera. At the time of the passage of the yearly appropriation bill, the health commissioner asked for $20,000 for this purpose. The item was rejected by the city council with the understanding that on the appearance of cholera he should be allowed .the necessary funds to enable him to do battle with it. Dr. De Wolf thinks the time for this money to be put at the dis posal of his department is almost at hand. "A thorough cleaning of the entire city," said an officer of tlie health department, "is absolutely necessary within the next few weeks.' Of the 90,000 buildings in Chicago fully 25,000 need watching, both inside and outside by sanitary inspectors. They are the hovels of the overcrowded tenements in the poorer quarters of the city, which are mainly occupied by foreigners. They cannot be put in good condition except by a large expenditure of money and by an army of inspectors. The health commission can do little with the funds now at the disposal of the department. Chicago should learn a lesson from the smallpox epidemic of four years ago. At that time there were 6,200 cases of smallpox in the city, from which there resulted 2,500 deaths. , The fact were not made. public at the time because the health department carefully suppressed them in order to prevent a panic from the city and serious injury to the trade. Peo ple would have moved away by thousands if they had known the real condition of , af fairs, and strangers would scarcely have dared to come inside the city limits." ■ mtm — Important Meeting of Rankers.

Chicago, June 12.— Detective James Wiley, who permitted J. J. Calvert, the alleged forger, to escape from him on the railway train between Sandusky and Toledo while en route for Chicago, lias tendered his . resignation and it has been accepted. Wiley says: "I have made a fool of my self; it. was all my fault." A high police official is quoted as stating that the only in ference to be drawn is that Wiley admitted the charges of drunkenness on the train. "Wiley is a man who can't stand liquor," continued the official,' "and he had a great many friends in New York with whom he spent a few ' hours. Calvert was sharp enough to see Wiley's weakness." Wiley was ! appointed on the force fifteen years ago. and for ten years had been doing de tective work at the 7 Central station. He was considered one of the most efficient officers in the service. Calvert is the man whose name lias been recently much men tioned in connection with that of Miss Eu genia Blair, the actress. Telephone Suits.

The Grand Haven Route. For several days past the Milwaukee & St. Paul and Omaha roads have been carry ing on a correspondence, considering the advisability of making low rates to points in the East via the Milwaukee & . Grand Haven route, and how much lower 7 they would make the rate this way than via Chicago. It was ; decided yesterday between the two, and they will advise their four northern connections, the Northern Pacific, Manitoba, St. Paul & Duluth, and Canadian Pacific roads, to instruct agents that they may sell tickets to points in the East, via the Grand Haven route, at $2.65 unlimited first-class, $2 limited first-class, and Si second-class, less than to the same points in * the East via Chicago. This Grand Haven ; route has been the disturbing! element in rates from St. Paul and Minneapolis via the Western trunk lines • for the past ten years or more. The Minneapolis & St. Louis road does not touch Milwaukee and therefore can not take business from the Northwest via the Grand Haven route, and as the routes via this lake route are so much less than via Chicago, the bulk of the cheap travel goes 'by way of the lake. Last season , AN OUTBREAK WAS IMMINENT 7:7u /' because the Minneapolis & St. Louis re fused to submit to having the 7 other two roads make a rate east at a rate it could not make unless it cut on the .regular tariff rate to Chicago. This year the exact posi tion of the Minneapolis & St.' Louis is hard to comprehend; it withdrew from the St. Paul & Minneapolis Passenger association agreement principally because" it under stood the Milwaukee and Omaha roads were intending to resume the sale of tickets via the Grand Haven route, and when it was not a member of any association, it would not be restrained from making any rale it pleased, then it would meet the rate made by Grand Haven by its Chicago route.' Last season when navigation on Lake Michigan was about to open, the Minneapo lis & St. Louis asked the Rock Island's con sent to reducing its rate via Chicago to meet the Grand Haven route rate. The Rock Island's consent was obtained, but there was another difficulty in the way. The Grand Trunk road . owns the Grand Haven route and the line of boats from Grand Haven to Milwaukee. By the Milwaukee and Omaha roads selling by this route the Grand Trunk was benefited, as no other of the Eastern taink lines could get a slice of this business. If ' the Minneapolis & St Louis cut the rate via Chicago from the Northwest, this business would have been considerably lightened. The Grand Trunk was giving the Rock Island nearly all of its west-bound business and when the Rock Island made known its intention of cutting rates, the Grand Trunk says, "don't you DO IT. ■ or we will boycott you and throw all your tickets to the wall and send oifr agent to St. Paul and put on our own issue of tickets." Then the Rock Island considered it best not to cut rates, and strictly maintained tariff. But this year the Grand Trunk and Rock Island roads are not so intimate, and the Grand Trunk has not the amount of busi ness to the Northwest it did. before the completion of the Conadian Pacific, and the Rock Island would not lose _ much if the Grand Trunk did boycott it, arid the extra business it would receive by making the same rate via Chicago as the Milwaukee & St. Paul and Omaha roads do via Grand Haven would be about a stand off for the amount lost .to if by the. Grand Trunk. This is why it Is expected that the Minne apolis & St. Louis is more likely to cut rates this year. Assistant General Pas senger Agent Dixon of the Milwaukee road stated that these rates via Grand Haven were perfectly legitimate, because the difference between the rate by that route and via Chicago, Is the rate between Milwaukee and Chicago. • GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT BOYD. of the Minneapolis & St. Louis road was interviewed last evening, and in regard to the above stated that it was as yet unde cided what course would be pursued, and at present did not care to indicate what might be done, farther than to say that the differ ential allowed the Milwaukee & St. Paul and Omaha roads was unjust and unfair to other roads.

Mr. Rutter was born at Lowell, Mass. , and was 51 years of age. He began his career as a railroad man early in life, first serving in the capacity of a mes senger boy at the Erie railroad freight of fice at Elmira, N. T. At the age of 15 Mr. Rutter was made chief clerk of the Erie freight office at Elmira, N. V., and when only 19 years old was appointed station agent at that place.

He held this position but a short time, and from Chicago he went to New York and ac cepted the position of assistant general freight agent of the Erie, and served in this capacity until 1872. The : late Cornelius Vanderbilt in 1872 offered Mr. Rutter the position of general freight agent of the Central Hudson road,' which was . accepted. On June 1, 1877. Mr. Rutter was made traffic manager. In March, 1880, he was elected third vice president. Mr. Rutter has not been a well man since 187-1. At that time he was informed by his physicians that he could not live, his malady being! a. severe attack of diabetes. By careful treatment, however, he ; slowly . ral lied, "but! in, 1876 , he became, af flicted with sciatic rheumatism and these two ailments had rendered his health very precarious ever since. ' Deceased was a man well-known throughout the United States and possessed a large oircle of warm personal friends, to whom he was ever faithful and most highly esteemed. He had a great deal to do with the excellent terminal facilities which the New York Central at present enjoys at Buffalo, and was regarded as one of the ablest railroad managers in the country. Mr. Rutter leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Alfred r! J. Manning of New York, and Miss Hattie. and two sons, Nathaniel, aged 24, and James IL, Jr., aged 10. 7 7' Second Day's Session.

Will Fight~it~Out. Special to the Globe. v.- 7 Chicago, June 12. — Representatives of the Transcontinental association met in this city to-day, and, as the Southern Pacific, Union , Pacific and ; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe were found the only disturbing elements, ' it was thought best to let them fight the battle out. A committee of three was appointed to discuss their differences, and the appointees were T. L. Kimball of the Union Pacific. J. F. Goddard of the Atchi son, Topeka ft Santa Fe, and J. C. Stubles of : the Southern Pacific, and T. F. Oakes of the Northern Pacific, as ex-ofticio chair man. The latter will act as a sort of um pire, his road not . being interested in the question. ■. . This committee was instructed to I consider the matter and report to the meeting at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning, to which time adjournment was " taken. A plan of settlement of differences is hardly hoped for, and an adjournment may be taken until next fall. North-western Traffic Association. It is probable that a meeting of the North western Traffic association will be called for next Wednesday to ratify the percent ages awarded by Arbitrator Bogue and come to some agreement regarding the rates on Washburn business by the Omaha road. Much of the trouble that exists in the pool arises from the competition of the lake and Mississippi river lines. The war made upon the Grand Trunk by the Canadian Pacific on Manitoba. business also prevents the maintenance of west bound rates from Chicago on such business, and the North western Traffic association will have to join the Grand Trunk in making such rates as will enable the latter to meet the compe tition of the Canadian Pacific.

PAUL NEWS. She. is the Woman. The mystery surrounding Emma Holbart, the female arrested on Thursday for larceny from R. R. Dorr's residence^ last fall, was cleared away by Sheriff Richter yesterday. By a shrewd : piece of detective work the sheriff learned that his interesting prisoner was a married woman, whose husband lives at No. 625 Cook street. She has been mar ried for eight years, and has four little chil- ' dren as a result of the marriage. Her hus- > band's name is Patrick Kelly, and proves to be a hard-working man, totally ignorant ol the doings of his wife. A sister-in-law of % the young lady, named I Annie Kelly, who works in a laundry at No. 161 West Seventh street, gave a Globe reporter the following facts about Mrs. Kelly: Eight years ago she was a handsome young lady, known as Mary Davis. At that time she was mar ried, and has lived quietly with her hus band ever since. Early last fall Mrs. Kelly wrote to Miss Kelly at Madison, Wis., ask ing her to come to St Paul and keep house for her as - she had a chance to go to work in the telephone office at $15 a week. Miss Kelly came up at once and , assumed daily charge of the four young children. Mrs. Kelly then left the house daily, but returned every night for the next ten weeks. Shortly before Christmas she told them at home that she had got a bet ter position with Mrs. Cross, a dressmaker, on Seventh street. A little later she said she had to go to Hudson, Wis., on business and would TAKE HER YOUNGEST CHILD, then 13 months old, along with her. She returned in a few . days and remained at home until a week ago last Monday, al ways leaving home in the morning and re turning in the evening. On that occasion she failed to show up as usual arid on Tues day her husband and Miss Kelly began to feel uneasy about her. A few days later Miss Kelly discovered at the laundry a quan tity of underclothes which she immediately recognized as belonging to her sister-in-law. She made inquiries and found that they be longed to a young lady who occupied a room over the laundry. Being certain that the clothes belonged to her sister, she went up to the room occupied by the lady, then going by the name of Miss Leslie, and there found sufficient evidence to convince her that Miss Leslie and Mrs. Kelly were one and tha same. On making the discovery she im mediately went for Mr. Kelly, and the two returned to the room to await the recreant wife's return. Before waiting long Mrs. Kelly appeared in company with a young man. When the husband appeared, the young escort did not wait to excuse himself but walked off in a hurry. Mrs. Kelly.how ever, assumed the role of injured innocence and "7 : -7 BLAMED HER HUSBAND for locking the door on the Monday evening which she failed to return home. The hus band tried to persuade her to return home but she refused to go, so he left her. 7 That was on Saturday morning last. On Tuesday she was arrested. Miss Kelly says that since Saturday two gentlemen and a lady, who gave the nama of Miss Coe and said she lived on St Peter street, called to see Miss Leslie. The latter tried to get the young lady's clothes, but the landlady refused to give them up. She thinks that Mrs. Kelly is connected with three or four persons in her schemes for "doing people up." From the above it ap pears that Mrs. Kelly had several apart ments in the city, as these are the third she is known to have been using at the same time. ' .'." ':['.,'.'' 7,i.v. ! '77 -. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. T. L. Rosser of Minneapolis came over to St Paul and identified her as the girl who had stolen the jewelry from her last fall. Mrs. Kelly, or as she is better known, Miss Holbert, also identified Mrs. Rosser. The latter asked, "Do you know me?" The young lady said, "Yes, you are Mrs. Rosser of Minneapolis." At the same time Mrs. Rosser noticed that the young lady was. then sporting a gold chain around her neck, formerly belonging to the Minneapolis lady, and which had cost the neat sum of $800.-7 • . ij. .-. . - NORTHWESTERN NOTATIONS. "Yes, we will have a fine crop this sea son in the Red River valley, and in fact throughout North Dakota," said Alexander Griggs of the Dakota railroad and ware house commission. "The wheat stalks are now about ten inches high and of good color and condition. It is true that our acreage will be about 10 per cent less than last year. But owing to the low price of wheat last fall, the acreage would certainly have been 60 per cent, less bat for the im proved prices early this spring, the prospect of a general foreign war and the reported failure of the winter wheat crop. No, we may not get $1 per bushel for this year's crop, but the prospects are that we shall sell at a fair profit. No, the action of your railroad and warehouse commissioners In fixing the grades will not materially affect our wheat producers. Wheat will bring what it is worth in the open market. There is nothing being done In the way of navigat ing the Red river this season, except on lo cal traffic. Yes, the action of the Canadian Pacific in advancing, emigrant rates on states business and in delaying trains to bar •the Manitoba line from Winnipeg and tha ; tributary northwest, gives great dissatisfac tion in the upper country, and the agitation now being made will not cease until that contracted and selfish policy is abandoned. As to the Riel rebellion, all the half-breedi needed was an abundance of arms and am munition to stand off all the troops that the Dominion government could send against them." 7^7 *** "From the fine crop outlook," remarked Jud La Moure of Pembina, "North Da kota will enjoy an era of prosperty which will remind old residents of the good times of three years ago this fall. The real estata business will pick up, producers andpeopla generally will better their condition, as the result of this year's boom crop, unless some unforeseen circumstance should inter fere. Our merchants and farmers feel that the hard times are nearly over, and that they will enjoy a boom in all lines of trade after harvest. They have all along. had the full est confidence in the future of the country. It is true that there was not much money in circulation, and there is not now for that matter, but the feeling is that there will soon be a sufficiency of currency. in circu lation to meet the wants of trade." *** 7 "I assure you that an upper Mississippi river commission may be set down as a fixed fact," observed ; Piatt B.
