NEEDS INVESTIGATION.
It has been charged that the old world
has done a i. r <> -d deal of business in the
way of dumping its criminals and pau
pers into tills country. Confirmatory
facts have not been wanting, and at
least nominal provision has been made
to check the unfriendly work. In July
a commission of five members was sent
over to Europe to look into the matter
and see how the investigation business
was conducted. They were heard of
occasionally as having nice things
thrown in their way and enjoying a
good time. They did not frequent re
sorts where kid gloves were out of
place, and had no knowledge of the
Language of the countries they
visited. Naturally they found things
lovely and the authorities clever people
who would not do any thin-: that
was not nice. One of them, however,
who seems to have been selected by i
some mistake, had the singular notion
that a picnic was not exactly their mis
sion, and. in a complete disguise, gave
his associates the slip and visited the
resorts of the emigrants. He was one of
them and acquired information rapidly.
He found that while the govern
ment authorities may not have
done more than to wink com
placently, there were all sorts of em
igration societies and organizations,
with high charitable and humane pro
fessions, eniraired in shipping the pau
pers, imbeciles and criminals to the
United States. The steamship com
panies were liberally paid for this sort
of freight, and more than willing to do
their part. This distinguished commis
sioner. Mr. Scnui.TiES, manifested the
enterprise of a genuine Bohemian in
his quest, and came over with the emi
grants as a steerage passenger. He
learned that there was connivance with
the business of the emigration bureau
in New York, and that many of those
sent abroad to investigate were in
league with the parties realizing the
profit the Infamous transaction. It is
not surprising that there arc -efforts
to disparage his report and refuse its
credence. Corns on large feet are trod
den on. There is a Sue field for search
ing inquiry by Secretary Foster.
a*;d room for a vigorous probe. Con
gress will lie likely to give the subject
its early attention and institute meas
ures for reform in this relation. This
country wants all the material it can
obtain fur good citizenship, but has
enough of the vicious and unfortunate
classes of home production.
A WFsj; PROGRAMME.
The joiut coinaiittee having in charge
the commemoration of St.' Paul's semi
ceutennial aunivereary shows good
judgment in deciding to omit the carni
val feature from Urn exercises. A dig
nified -dill furious indoor celebration,
Including spieeasji. so:i?s and specta
cles, will be much more in keeping with
the character of ihs event and the spirit
of the times. The display and uproar
ol masked bails and costumed proces
sions properly enough accompanies a
b'jo:n era, when men are reckless be
cause their prosperity is great beyond
their exertions, 1; it now, when the
city's mind Is bunt -earnestly on sub
stantial progress, an I our people are
laying deep foundationa on which to
raise structures of permanent and cen
tal value, frivolity and rioting seem a
little out of place. Our beat energies
as a community are needed for higher
things. We want to secure factories,
not for their temporary effect on
town Jots, but to provide employment
for Honest laborers, and to increase
the returns of industry. We want to
add to the number and variety of our
jobbing houses that they may supple
ment each other and ail grow from the
contagion of each others' effort and de
velopment. We want to build a public
auditorium in which great gatherings of
one kind and another can be accommo
dated. We want to work lirst to get the
Democratic national convention for St.
Paul, and next to welcome us delegates
and provide them with facilities for the
convenient transaction >f their busi
ness. Ail these things have a definite
significance tor us as a municipality
and mean expansion and enlarged im
portauee. They will consume all the
leisure which we can spare from our
regular duties and all the money
the generous can afford to contribute.
Thegerit&ntpii who advocate the re
vival of carnival clubs along with this
are on t!i right trade also. Two mild
winters have made us forget the rigors
of our climate, ana the danger that the
cold season may pass in gloom unless
some thing is done to brighten it. De
fore our first ice palacs year January
and February w nt by like a Ion? night,
and men and w »:nen greeted one another
in the spr'ng .is though after an absence
during vhi.-ii their friends" faces had
been lost lo siirlit. Tobogganing and
snow shoeing tUuMened the days when
the ll:or no.neter ranged below zero, and
tuned into gayety what before had
bi'en dark and sad. Now, that we are
surely to have a Minnesota winter again,
it is very desirable that we should renew
these instruments for diversion and en
joyment. But, as the committee has
suggested, they can safely be left to
private and individual enterprises.
Young men and women, who will iind
pleasure in this sort of thins:, can co
<> Kiate for its revival, and their mutual
rivalries and competitions will irivo it
the vitality required for its success.
But the city, as a city, and our business
men, as business men. will have their
bands full with other calls more worthy
of their attention and more promising;
in tlu ir results. We are on the cdire of
a period delightful to contemplate and
limitless in its possibilities, and it be
hooves us to keep ourselves untram
meled that we may be equal to its de
mands.
NOT IN THIS WAY.
One very serious and noteworthy fact
was brought to public notice by the
competition for the Republican national
convention. (lov. Mkimuam's inter
view at Chicago was it> first expres
sion, but he returned to the subject
again before the national committee,
and the delegates from half a dozen
cities followed his example. "If you
would save Minnesota for the party,
roui3 to Minneapolis," said be, "because
ih.>r;* is disintegration in the ranks, and
r.'^ot on every side."' "If you would
c! a.v" tho fangs of the Tammany
tiger," said Mr. FASSETT, still lame
from his wrestle with its prowess,
"come to New York, for even the farm
ers in the Interior are deserting our
standard." "If you would save
Michigan."' said the spokesman of
Detroit, "come to the gateway of the
lakes,becauae the eiieinyis confident and
lias the prestige of its lecent victory."'
>; If you would save lowa and Ne
braska,"' said Judge Scott, "come to
Omaha, because the Democracy's'banner
Is in the ascendant in these Republican
strongholds." From every quarter the
cry of these men telling what they
knew and part of what they had been
was a cry of alarm, and their call a call
for help if they were to escape defeat.
The (ii.oiJK thinks that it Is possible
to overestimate the effect of a national
convention as a means of party salva
tion. It takes more than the enthusi
asm and the impressiveness of such an
event to win and hold tha devotion of
intelligent voters. Power and glory do
have an effect on the popular mind, and
men like to be counted on the strouc
and dominant side ol a fiiriit. But the
farmers of Minnesota and lowa already
recognize the ability of the Republican
leaders and the strength of the Repub
lican organization. They have not tost
their sympathy with radicalism beeanac
it has grown weak and puny. The
agrarian revolt which has put Boies
in the governor's chair and reduced
Mk!:i:iam's majority to two thousand
is based on principles and not on hur
rahs. If New York, if Michigan, if
Minnesota, if lowa, if Nebraska are to
be brought surely and safely into the
Republican column, it will not be by
building big wigwams, hiring bis: bands
or cheering on street corners. The l!e
--publican party will have to free itself
from the domination of the monopolists
if it is to enjoy the confidence and the
support of the farmers.
CAUSES AL/AUM ABROAD.
Chicago does not topographically fill
the picture of a city set on a hill, but
it is the focus of widely extended vision
as the world's fair city. In view of this
fact, it is unfortunate that interference
was had with the late apparently harm
less although frothy exhibition of so
cialism. In this country it would soon
be forgotten and cut no figure, but it
seems to have elicited some apprehen- |
sion abroad. In most of the European
arid other foreign countries they know
of no way of preserving pub
lic order but by an army. As
there is no standing army in this
country to speak of. it is not realized
that there is any effective and prompt
reliance for the preservation of tran
fiuiiity in a community infested by
anarchists. The fact that every good
citizen is a policeman and soldier with
out uniform, ready to preserve the pub
lic peace, is not understood. Chicago
can readily reinforce its police strength
to amply meet any emergency. Then
it has militia able to subject any possi
ble anarchistic outbreak. Even in .St.
Paul it may be remembered how quickly
and effectively the militia responded to a
call of the authorities the past season
and not even a puixilist offered to re
move his outer raiment. But a repre
sentative of one of the centralized Eu
ropean governments expresses alarm at
the Chicago affair as a possible menace
to life and property during the exposi
tion. He says their ••people were in
vited here by the president, they do not
know the local government of any city,
and they look to the national power for
safety to themselves and the protection
ot property." It was unwise, then, so
far as the effect abroad is con
cerned, to treat the social fanatics
at Chicago seriously, and magni
fy their sputtering . into a menace
to social older. They are but a trivial
fraction of the community, and con
fronted with a vigilant public senti
ment. In no great center of the old
world, with all the display of organized
strength by Hie authorities, would there
be such security for exhibiting visitors
as in any American city. Berlin is sat
urated with social revolutionists, and in
Paris they have shown enormous voting
numbers. But tho other day the city of
Lille elected to the chamber of depu
ties an avowed leader of anarchists,
still. Chicago will be on its srood be
havior until after the exposition, and
there should be prudent repression of
whatever may awaken fears abroad.
FOR THK DEMOCRATS.
It looks now as if- the Democrats
would control the senate of the New
York legislature. The larger body they
have by a safe majority, but there has
been doubt as to the senate. One Re
publican reported elected has died, but
the canvassing board has found that the
Democrat was really elected. In an
other district the Republican candidate
is held by the legal authorities to be a
resident of Canada and not eligible. It
is expected the Democrat will be given
the seat. These changes will give the
Democrats sixteen out of the thirty-two
members, with the casting vote of the
lieutenant governor. Another seat will
be contested, as the Democrat was
elected by one vote on the face of the
returns, and a manipulation of the can
vassers put the one vote on the other
side. There will be all sorts of imputa
tions and party ululations whatever the
facts and equities. The Republicans
have lost both branches of the legisla
ture but once since the war, and they
can least of all afford to lose them now
when they peed United States senators,
for it will be the duty of the legislature
to make the apportionments for the leg
islature as well as congress. That the
THE SAINtHpATJL DAILY GLOBE: FPJDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 27, 1891
present districting is grossly unfair to
the Democrats is evident in the fact
that with 45.000 majority they can nard
ly carry the legislature.
Thk ladies of the White house are no
understood to be active in political af
fairs, but the papers at Mount Pleas
ant, 10., are allowed to announce in
large typ? that "President Hakrisox's
son's wife is .spending a few days" in
the town, and will be pleased to meet all
tho people "at Bowman's novelty
store." Wa.vamakki: had a similar re
ception at his bargain counter. It is a
business administration, and Bfx wants
to come out of the Minneapolis conven
tion with the Hag in his hand.
Some of the papers in the East with
queer ideas would have the legislatures
interpose to prevent the playing of the
collegiate game of tootball. They insist
that it is more brutal than the prise riiiß,
and that twenty are killed or injured by
football to one by the ring exercise.
This is a strange view to take of a clas
sical accessory of intellectual culture.
Football is not played by the profes
sionals, and "honors are won in it.
These have been some Knownoth
int: freaks in this country, but the czar
could give them pointers. By a recent
uka=e only persons of Russian extrac
tion can practice law in the Baltic prov
inces. This is aimed at the Germans,
who are numerous in that section. But
of what use are lawyers in a country
that knows no law but the will of a
despot?
A Polish inventor claims that he has
a process far making coal at about ?1 per
ton. What a fortune he could make in
this part of the world. But there have
been scores of patents for artificial fuel,
and yet people go on burning the nat
ural products. Emancipation from serv
itude to the coal barons is more likely
to be had by electricity.
Philadelphia, too, proposes to try
the electric street cars, and let the an
cient equine retire. It has been discov
ered tiiere that the cars can be lighted
by the same electric force. When they
come out to the "frontier village," as
the Dakota romancer has it, they may
learn several things.
Should Senator Suf.p.max yield to
the clamorous partisan demand that he
object to the seating of .Senator BIUCE,
on the ground of non-residence, the in
quiry should be made general as to the
residence of senators. The two from
Nevada will not ba apt to votu for that
Investigation.
Asipk from the fe.v who have per
sonal reasons. Democrats generally do
not care who is elected speaker, pro

allow of no question that he is a repre
sentative man of the tariff reform issue.
There siiould be occasion for explana
tion.
A great calm has arisen of late about
son BcBSBIX. He mizht say something
of interest about the White house opin
ion of Mr. Bi.aink as a candidate for
president while a member of the cabi
net. Some people are quite willing
that he should talk.
It tkovbi.es some people greatly
that Mr. C'i.kvki.axd did not see lit to
have a choice for speaker. There have
been several occasions when be has not

Comit.aixts that Uncle RcSK'fl bu

The wheat growers can still better

We congratulate Uussell B. Harrison

for which he is not at all to blame.—

Up to date nobody seem to have dis
covered any way, mortify inir or other
wise. In which Russell cau be made

Today's dispatches from Mount Pleas
ant, 10., inform the world that Mrs.
Russell B. Harrison, the wife of the
president's son. is in that city visiting
with her cousin, Mrs. J. C. Bowman,
whose husband has just opened a nov
elty store. The dispatches state further
that the Mount Pleasant Journal prints
the following advertisement: "Pres
ident Harrison's son's wife is spending
a few days at J.C. Bowman's and will be
pleased to meet the Mount Pleasant peo
ple. Everybody cordiallyinvited to call
at their novelty store and meet this dis
tinguished lady." ; The incident adds
one to the many previous illustrations
of the tendency of this Republican ad
ministration to become involved in
business enterprises. This case is,
however, differentiated from some
others by the fact that our impulsive
friend, Russell B. Harrison, does
not appear to be in any way responsible
for it.— Chicago Telegram.
THE SAGE'S THANKSGIVING.
As to the future of Minnesota "as an agri
cultural and manufacturing state,"' we
have been building the pyramid of our pros
perity upon Us apex, instead of upon its
base The business men have flourished
while the producers have suffered. v\'e have
palatial residences and all the other accom
paniments of wealth in our cities, while the
men who:* industry alone brings any wealth
into the state are covered with mortgages
and struggling in adversity. The result
has been an unnatural growth of the towns,
and a comparative decrease of population in
the agricultural regions in the older satilei
parts of the state. And when the farmers
have ?>ought to remedy these evil conditions
by legislation wo nave found the upper
classes of the cities arrayed almost solidly
against us. We can neither obtain a reduc
tion of interest ou money to the same rate
paid in the cities; nor laws for the preven
tion of usury; nor laws to stop the com'uiua
tious of the wheat dealers to flx the price
of our great staple at figures bo low its true
value; nor laws to stop the collection, from
the producers, of SIO.OOO.ifJO annually to puy
interest on "watered stocS," or any oib'-r
reinedia! legislation demanded by the pro
ducing class. The number in the cities who
are interested iv these unjust conditions are
but a few score, but they manage to make
the bulk of the city population believe that
it is a work of righteousness to help other
parties to plunder the farmers. Min
nesota's great industry. I might almost
say i;s only industry, is agriculture. Our
manufactures are, thr?e-fourlhs of them,
told to the farmers; the profits of our mining
operations ro to swell tho fortunes of non
resident capitalists; but every dollar earned
and saved by the agriculturists is a dollar
added to ihe permanent wealth of the whole
state, and every dollar stolen from them is a
loss to all citizens of the towns and villages
as well as to the fanners. If agriculture Is to
Boorish in Minnesota, justice must be done
to the farming class. Pardon this h.istily
written letter, and believe me to b», very
truly yours.

WOLVES IN CHICAGO.
That wolf hunt in ». hicazo came off
too late to have any effect on the vote
at Ashinarton.— Chicago Tribune.
Chicago has been visited by a live
wolf. Before the season closes from
two to three others may be expected
and then let St. Paul look to her laurels.
—Chicago (ilobe.
A live wolf was captured on Indiana

apolis cannot give this town pointers in
the wolf business.— Chicago Mail.
With wolves at large within the city
limits and the Kepublican convention

adii"e "Birds of a feather flock to#eth

It lias Ion:: been understood that Chi
cago allows no measly one-horse town
to set; ahead of lier in any particular,
tiiat she is always ready to see a rival
and sro it one better, and that she is just
as swift as they make them. New
York, for instance, has a water famine.
Straightway Chicago gets up a little
scarcity on her own account. St. Louis
rejoices in a fire or a cyclone, or maybe
v robbery. Chicago immediately dupli
cates the feat. And so on. The latest
direction in which the world's fair city
lias shown her ability is in getting up a
wolf hunt, just to show the Twin Cities
th;it they haven't it all their own way.
even if "they have got the Republican
convention. The other day it was ar
mour.cert that wolves were devouring
children living in Minneapolis. Chi
cago, of course, could not let this go by,
and so Monday she discovered one in
the heart of the residence district. So
far the two experiences agree. But it
was in the sequel that Chicago rose
superior to the other city. She chased
her wolf, and caught it, too, and she
didn't allow it to stop long enough to
eat any children on tiie way. either. If
there is any oiher city that thinks Chi
cago can't give it cards and spades and
beat it, it can begin the ball just as soon
as it pleases. _

congratulations that it has received on its
Tnauksgiving and praise edition of yester

In one of his entertaining monologues
Wnlteomb Riley relates an anecdote
of a boy who told a whopping big story
: which nobody exhibited serious symptoms
of believing. As a palliation of the offense,
the youth hedged by the declaration that he
"didn't really mean it, "he just said it." For
'.the credit of the past record of Col. Pat
' Donan it is to be hoped that he didn't really
mean what he said against tha ability
of Minneapolis to hold a successful
national convention, but simply "just
said it. " possibly in a moment of
Inadvertency. lint whether Col. Pat Donan
meant what he said or not, it is just as well
to call thsj attention of tha people of the
United States to the fact that both Minne
apolis and St. PauL or either of them, are
amply qualified to successfully entertain any
'political convention which may bs sent to
them, and that, too, unaided by so enthusi
astic a -'promoter" as Col. Pat Donau. He
may go upon the stump against us every day.
He may shed the brilliancy of his perfervid
eloquence from behind the twinkling foot
lights of every opera house in the country in
a foaming, tidal backwash of oratorical de
nunciation of the Twins. He may coyly
button-hole each living masculine, member
of the genus homo, and into impatient, weary
cars pour the seductive strains of his siren
void; pull out the vox humana btop to its
utmost limit, and come down with both feet
on tee forte pedal. All will be as light of
weight as the down blown from the thistle
top. Opposition inspires resistance and in
creases propulsive fores. as a dlssuader Col.
Pat Donan is a longways from his native ele
ment.
The attention of the Dulmh Xews is called
to the fact that Minneapolis is not "out for
the national Democratic conventiDn." She
is backing up the claim; of St. Paul in mag

Republican organs are sorely prone nowa

they mean the leading journals and orators

cial and economic policies of th^ present

fact that Richard Codben, John Bright, John
Stuart Mill, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jeffer

Mr. Jones has been distinctly snubbed.
Reference is had to Mr. Jones, of New

"Jones, he pays the freight," has been
twisted by the Syracuse Standard into
"Jones, he trays his pate," of which the
translation is, "Jones, he tears his hair."
It Is a little unkind to make fun of the

Coming back to the consideration of

lis on the outcome of the convention
contest, Chicago cannot refrain from
otfeiiiii its cendolenees to the back

went into the Bgnt with a flourish of
trumpets and came out beaten.—Chi
cago News.
Chicago's attitude during the mter
mimicipal struggle lor the Republicau
national convention was above re
proach, and she stiil has thu respect of
all the contestants for the honor which
Minneapolis captured. Chicago is en
tirely satisfied.— Chicago Mail.
Minneapolis had a strong chance for
winning, as it had been at work for
months "laying the pipes. 1 ' and went
into the contest witn a large delegation
of its bust men on tho trround. The
jealousy between tin* Twin Cities was
also put in the background for the time,
and representative citizens of St. Paul
added their voices to swell the claims
of their neighbors.— Chicago Tribune.
Chicago congratulates Minneapolis on
its good fortune. Chicago will be the
threshold of the conventian. The ma
jority of the delegates and visiting
statesmen will have to go through this
city en route, and they will naturally
remain here sroing or coming to see how
the world's fair is progressing and to
enjoy all the attractions which at that
time of the year malce this city the
great place of summer resort.— Chicago
Tribune.
It may be urged that Minnesota did
not need the convention, and it is no
doubt true that the state was safely Re
publican anyway, but certainly .the
Northwest was fairly entitled to recog
nition by the Republican party. That
city and St. Paul are virtually one, and
together they sustain to tha Northwest
of today about the same relation that
Chicago did to the Northwest of a gen
eration ago.— Chicago Inter Ocean.

GROVER'S FIRM GRIP.
There is no doubt that the people
want Cleveland as their candidate next
year.— Williamsport (Pa.) Sun.
Cleveland's good luck still remains
with him. Col. Polk, president of the
Fanners' National Alliance, says he
will take the stump against him. -Co
iutnbus (O.) Journal.
The nomination oS Mr. Cleveland at
the next I>emocratic national conven
tion now saem-i inevitable. It would
be an extremely creditably choice lor a
great party to make. — I'rovidence (R. I.)
Journal.
New York president-makers are now
coming to a realization of the tact that
Cleveland will be the standard bearer
of the Democratic party in 1892. The
outside world has known it for a good
many months.— Detroit Free Press.
With due respect to the able young
statesman, William K. Russell, he can-
not expect, as some papers might inti
mate, to head the national Democratic
ticket in 1862. G rover Cleveland is the
only man who lias any claim on the first
position.— Manchester (N. H.) Union.
As the situation exists today the
promise is that Cl rover Cleveland will be
nominated by acclamation. If Boies is
placed by his side on the ticket we will
keep the Republicans very busy hi
every Western State while the Eastern
Democrats make certain of New York",
Connecticut mil New Jersey. The
South has always been able to take care
of its Democracy and will be again.—
Kansas City Times.
Cleveland's great strength lies in his
position relative to the tariff. Ho is the
bead and front of the movement. With
Cleveland out of the contest, the Demo
cratic party might as well return to its
old policy of mere opposition to the
principles and methods of the Repub
lican party. Cleveland is the aggressor.
He inaugurated the real war against
protected monopolies, and with him only
can the party win.— Kansas City Star.
The Democratic press of the country
still teems with commendations of Mr.
Cleveland, based upon the results of
the late elections. Throughout the
Union it Is accented that the activity of
the ex-president in the campaigns In
New York and Massachusetts had much
to do with the Democratic victories in
those states. The reported declaration
of Mr. Fassett, the late Republican can
didate for governor in New York, that
-Mr. ( ieveland : s speeches cost him (Fas
sett) 10.000 votes goes to confirm the
impression that Cleveland is a nower
with the Democratic masses.—Phila
delphia Ledger.
FIRE-ALARM FORAKER.
A prehistoric person with proper
moldings on his jaws has been dug up
in the Ohio valley. There were For
akers in Ohio even in the earliest days.
—New York Sun.
Mr. Foraker. a private citizen, is not
in a position to oppose the claims of the
spurious senator i Bruvj. either in the
Ohio legislature or in this United States
senate.— Cincinnati Commercial Gaz
ette.
Foraker could not de near!] as much
harm to Western interests if elected to
the senate as John Shurtnau can. Ami
for that very reason John Sherman's
friends who draw interest on Western
mortgages do not propose to allow
Foraker to be elected.— St. Louis Re
public.
Foraker called to see Mr. Blame, and
he reports that the secretary is not a
candidate for the presidency, but will
accept the nomination if tendered to
him. There is nothing sensational in
the announcement. Indeed, we think
we have heard it before.— New York
Advertiser. -
Fire-Alarm Foraker claims that he
controls a majority of the Ohl* legis
lature—that he is in position to retire
John Sherman and to rattle around in
that great inlander's seat in the senate.
And If fornry will make good Mr. Fire-
Alarm's claims, Mr. Sherman has rea

St. Paul worked hard to get the Re

Minneapolis captured the Republican
national convention. It is a bin thing,
and we are all glad of it. St. i'aul

credit. The convention will be held
June 7. Hurrah for Minneapolis! Better
yet, hurrah for glorious Minnesota!—
Albert Lea Standard.
Hurrah for Minneapolis, Minnesota
and the Northwest! On the seventh

the place to hold the next national Re
publican convention. .June 7 is the
time, and we'll all get ready to attend.
Hurrah tor Minneapolis and our next
president, James G. Blaine!— Preston
Times.
Upon* this brilliant triumph Minne
apolis aeserves the heartiest congratu
lations of the people of Minnesota with
out party distinction. It is a victory of
energy, of intelligence, of brain, of lib
erality. It reflects credit not alone upon
the enterprising citizens of Minneapolis,
but the entire Northwest.— Winona Re
publican.
Minnesota secures the next Repub
lican national convention. Minneapolis,
with the assistance or St. Paul, can
comfortably handle all the people that
will attend the convention. The whole
country bows in graceful acknowledg
ment to the superior claims of Minne
sota's twin.— Laka City Graphic-
Sentinel.
Minneapolis is to be congratulated.
She has worked hard for the prize.
Made a clean, open fight and won. As
to her ability to handle the convention,
tnere has been no doubt from the first,
but that in connection with St. Paul,
Minneapolis is as able to take care of as
large a crowd as any city that entered
the contest.— Mankato Free Press.
The Republican national convention
will be held in Minneapolis .June 7. 1592.
The efforts of Minneapolis to secure the
next national Republican convention
were not put forth in vain, nor did the
big delegation down to Washington
for nothing. Minnesotans lv general
will feel good over the result. The next
president will be nominated in Minne
apolis, and Blame will undoubtedly be
his name.— Granite Fails Tribune.
It is gratifying to every loyal citizen
of the Northwest— te which number
Senator Uansbrough, of North Dakota,
is not included— that Minneapolis won
in the competitive contest for the Re
publican national convention. Minne
apolis is a good sample of Minnesota
and the largest we can offer in a lump.
We rejoice with her today and unfurl,
as it were, our feelings of delight.—Du
luth Herald.
When a Northwestern city starts out
after anything, it generally means bus
iness, and almost as frequently gets
what it desires. That has been the case
with Minneapolis in its struggle for the
Republican national convention. The
news that the fight has ended in favor
of the enterprising city at the falls of
St. Anthony will be received with
pleasure throughout the Northwest, and
and in no place will that pleasure be
more widespread than in Duluth. — Du
luth News.
Now that the Minneapolis and St.
Paul hustlers fought & good fi^ht and
won. there remains but one thing to do
—receive them on their return from the
field of victory with banners and bands,
anil then go to work and map out your
programme for the entertaining of the
largest body of people ever assembled
in any city in the Northwest. Minne
apolis and St. Paul are equal to the
emergency, and we have reason to ue
lievo the national committee will not
have cause to regret their selection for
the deliberations of the national Repub
lican convention of 1803. — St. Peter
Tribune.

In deckling against an ice palace this

other light than a public nuisance.—
Janesville (Minn.) Ar^us.
A new state capitol buiidinz will, in
the course ot time, be built in St. Paul,
at a cost, it is said, of from two to three
million dollars. No doubt such au edi

Minneapolis is endeavorin? to twist

ments, but the tears trying to give vent

ami the consefftient falling off of her
floor output, prevents her from doinij
it.— Tower County Iron News.
St. Paul has come to the conclusion
that there is no money in ice palaceo.aud
will quit building th«:n. The new light
opened upon St. Paul is that these pal
aces evn& the rest of the country the
impression that Minnesota is the
coldest country on earth, and, there
