the inquiry directed, and the proceedings
to follow, while few controversies ever have
involved matters of more consequence to
the public and to individuals.
As to the cause of action, there is proba-
bly, no parallel, in that any sane people
should deliberately set about the breaking
down of "solid and indestructibe'' bar
rier against the waves, ice and winds of
the sea, the turning of great river from it's
ancient course, and the necessary destruc
ton of the finest natural harbor on the
lakes.
When the effects of this mad work shall
come to be understood, aad its further pro-
gress stayed, there is no doubt that the very
promoters and participants in it, will be the
most grateful for the interpositlon that ar
rested it.

Four days afterward the Herald was lament
ing that 1.-The government has already by
immense railroad subsidies managed to des-
troy the business of our only surviving line
of steamships" Then speaks of "another
serious blow struck at our ocean commerce"
and now the Philadelphia line of ocean
steamships, in full connection with Philadel-
phia lines of continental railways, bids fair
to strike another serious blow, and lessen
still further the echoes of ocean paddle
wheels in New York harbor.
The city Of New York will hear more yet
on this paddle wheel question if she does
not take the tr uble to find out this sum-
mer what Philadelphia IS doing at the head
of Lake Superior.
We commend to the Herald, 4dUertiser,
and other papers that have been too lofty to
examine this subject on its merits the more
humble and sensible course of the n. Y.
IfnleS and Tribune. In the language of the
former journal in its September articles,

EXTENSION OF ST. PAUL AND PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD LINES,
Sank Rapids Sentinel, March II

The citizens of the upper country, be-
tween this place and the Northern Pacific
Bailroad, will be pleased to learn of the pas
sage of an act of Congress which will insure
the immediate construction of the branch
line from here to Brainard on the east bank
of the Mississippi, and another line from
here to Otter Tail Lake. The act reads as
follows:
That the ST. Paul & Pacific Railroad
Company may SO alter its branch lines that
instead of constructing roads from Crow
Wing to SAINT Vincent, and from Saint
Cloud to the waters of Lake Superior, 1t
may locate and construct in lieu thereof
line from Crow Wing to Branard, to in
tersect With the Northern Pacific Railroad,
and from St. Cloud to a point of lntersec-
ton with the line of the original grant at
or near Otter's Tail or Rush Lake, so as to
form direct rou'e to ST. Vincent, with the
same proportional grant of land, to be taken
in the same manner along the said altered
line as Is provided for the present lines by
existing law: Provided, hOUecer, that this
change shall in no manner enlarge said
e"ant and that this act shall only take eff
feet upon the condition OF It's being IN
cord with the legislation of the State of Min
nesota, and upon the further condition that
proper releases shall be made to the United
States by said company of all lands along
said abandoned lines from Crow Wing to
St Vincent, and from st. Cloud to Lake
Superior; and that upon the execution Of
said releases such lands so released shall
be considered as Immediately restored to
Market, without further legislation.
This bill passed the House on March I'd

elected president of the Union Pacific rail
way company, and who is first vice presi-
dent otthe Great Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany is reelected president of the Pitts

If the Pennsy lvania company perfect the

A great many notices of strange ''steal-
ing" or efforts to steal, are recorded by
he press. The latest and most wonderful
is that of some enterpri>ing Minnesotaus,
resident at Duluth, who have taken the job
of stealing the mouth of the st. Louis river
from the State Of Wisconsin, and thus wip-
ing out the rival port of Superior City,
which now has a natural and sheltered har-
Dor. The attempted larceny has been push
ed with such vigor that a bill to prevent
the diversion has just passed the Wiscon-
sin Legislature under a suspension of all
rules, appropliating $4,000, and requiring
the Governor to put an end to the pro- iect.
AS the river forms the boundary line be-
tween the two States, except at its lower
end, which is wholly in Wisconsin, the
claim Of Minnesota TO change the channel,
and dredge out a new mouth on her own
soil, presents egal question which has
never before arisen between-any two Amer
lean States, and will probably have to be
fought out in the United States courts. AS
a State rights question, it is a decided
novelty Chicago Post.

| Suffering OF Tho People of she Durnt
D-strict--A Touching Appeal
! fOr Aid.
DETROIT, Oct. "a.

800 DETROIT, Oct. "a.
The Michigan State Relief Com
mittee have issued the following
appeal:
IL tic Ron7e eth Iuited States ).
We need instant and plentiful
aid. From 10000 to $1,000 people,
at least, in the State Of Michigan
have lost their homes, food, cloth
ing, crops, horses and cattle. On
the night of the Chic 90 fire 1000
people on the east shore of Lake
Michig gan and 5000 to 5000 on the
west shore of Lake Huron, were re-
du cd to almost absolute destitu-
lion. While two or three other
small villages and settlements have
been blotted out, and of the number
OF individual farm houses, barns
and frontier dwellings, which have
been destroyed by the all-ovcrpow-
criny fire, cannot, from want of in
formal on, be accurately given, the
aggregate OF which we know to be
enormous.
The fires are still burning and
new ones springing up, the area OF
ruin and devastation is daily i'll
crcasing.
The people of Michigan have
nnbly responded to the appeals
which misery made to their sympa-
thy and generosity, but they are
severely crippled Indirectly in
their business, by the Chicago fire,
and directly by their assistance
to the sufferers of that calamity, be
fore they were aware of the de-
mands which would be made on
them.
Many have lost their resources by
the fires which have occurred in
this State.
In behalf of the victims already
known, and many, we fear, yet UNI
known, we ask prompt and efficient
aid from our benevolent fellow citi-
zens everywhere. Money and sup
plies may be sent direct to the
Michigan Relief Committee at De
troit or Grand Rapids.
The intensity and dreadful mag.
niticcnce Of the calamities which
overwhelmed other cities and vii
liages, are lacking here, but the
suffering exists. The long, hard
winter approaches; large numbers
Of these people are accessible only
by water. and navigation will soon
be closed. Scarcely month or
six weeks now remains in which to
feed, clothc and shelter them for
the winter season, which extends
far into spring. They must be
helped no. or they will perish.
They will need, too, in the early
spring, seed and implements for the
harvest OF next year. The greater
portion Of them must commence
life entirely anew, without prcpara-
ton, and it being the beginning of
winter, their isolation from the
centres of commerce and means Of
communications makes the problem
of relief more difficult and more
urgent.

What Chicago Lost and Saved.

The Chicago Tribune thus sums
up tie situation as regards the eX-
tent of losses by the fire and what
remains:
Our columns have been so extern
sivtly occupied during the past
week with the reports Of the enor-
nous losses of lie and property in
the lltc fire, that there is some dan
ger that the damage sustained will
be ovcr-estimated. True, we have
seen 1900 acres in the most central
portion Of the city swept bare, 90
900 buildings destroyed, and 1907
900 persons rendered homeless, the
total fecuniary loss being not less
than s3oo,ooo,ooO; but we have still
great deal left. We may roughly
estimate the situation as follows:
About $4,000 person have left
the city; population remaining $780,
900. -
Five grain elevators were burned,
with 100000 bushels of grain;
leaving us with eleven grain ware
houses intact, containing 100000
bushels.
One-halt of our pork products
were burned up, with the same pro-
portion of flour.
vi lumber, 5O,O00,0O0 feet were
burned; the stock remaining is 24O,-
100000 feet.
OF coal, $4,000 tons were burned
up; we have $4,000, tons low on
hand. $3.50
Our stock Of leather was decrcas-
ed "ne-quartcr, the value of that
burned up being s05,ooo.
The greater portion OF The stocks
OF groceries, dry goods and boots
and shoes, were burned up, with
more than one-half the rcadv-made
clothing; bnt the quantities de-
stroyed were scarcely equal to more
than three weeks supply, and are
now being rapidly replaced.
Not more than 10 per cent. of
the currency was destroyed by the
fire; we have $4,000 houses left
standing, and our real estate could
not burn up. a
A careful average Of these larger
items, with smaller ones which need
not he enumerated, shows that the
city of Chicago has suffered a loss
OF not less than 30, nor more than
25 per cent, on her total assets
real and personal. The loss is a
great one, but, SO far from ire
trievable, that we may confidently
hope to see a return to former pros
perity ere long. The ratio OF in
crease during the past thirty-tour
years has averaged lo9 per cent.
per annum. This rate would restore
the status of 4 month ago, within
three years. Making every due al
lowance for the terrible setback
experienced, there can be no doubt
that five years hence, at most, the
exhibit of population, wealth, com
merce and manu-, will be
Greater the" d month ago. Already
the city is rising from its ashes at II
rapid rate, thanks to the large
hearted liberality of our country
men everywhere, and the resistless
energy of our citizens. Let the
faint hearted ones take courage;
the real workers have not wasted IA
moment in regret; after they have
repaired their losses there will be
no occasion for it.

Chicago Relief.

The Chicago Tibune has the fol
lowing regarding the manner in
which relief for the sufferers by the
fire, is being systemizcd:
Every family that was deprived
of shelter by the fire, so far as is
known, has been furnished lodgings.
The majority of those burned out
have been taken care Of bv their
friends, with whom they are now
living. Those who are fiirndlcss,
or whose acquaintanccs are too poor
to accommodate them, have been
provided for by the Relief Society.
Barracks were erected in Washing
ton Park, on the North side, and
about 600 people inhabit them. A
depot of supplies has cen establish
ed in one of the shanties, and the
persons who live in the barracks,
and others who reside in temporary
structures on the North side are
furnished regular rations. On the
West side there are two places
where homeless men, women and
children are taken care of. The
vacant lot on the corner of Harrison
street and Center Avenue, is cover
ed with onc-story frame buildings
and tents, which can accommodate
about 20O0. AT the corner of Eliz-
abeth and Madison streets are
twelve long frame buildings, cut up
into rooms, in which over 1000 are
housed. One of these structures is
occupied as supply depot, and
from here is ISSUED the food to be
used in the district bounded bv
kinzie and Twelfth streets and
llalsted street end Ashland avenue.
About 5000 rationS are issued daily
to persons who do not live in the
barracks. The greater portion of
the supplies is purchased, that
which WAS sent here in cars having
been nearly exhausted. TO show
how the poor are provided for, it
may be mentioned that the articles
furnished each day to three persons
are these: One peek of potatoes,
three pounds Of pork, one pound Of
sugar, one pound Of cheese, three
loavcs Of bread, one pound of crack
crs, one bar of soap, one candle, one
cabbage and two quarts of onions.
Three persons ought surely to live
on that quantity of food for day,
and have considerable left. Every
one who makes application for as
sistance must be provided with a
voucher, setting forth that they are
needy. The delivery of supplies
has been systemizcd rs much rs is
possible, but there is much yet to
be done before it is perfect. a week
or two more will straiyhten every
thing out, and Il person in need of
relief will not have to travel all
over town to get signatures to vouch-
crs, as they are obliged to do now.

The Iowa City Republican, one
Of the most unwavering advocates
of Mr.. Harlan, says:
tIIcnry county defeated Frank
Hatton because he was known to
be friendly to Mr.. Harlan. 50 it
goes throughout the State. Harlan
has been ground between two OPP
posing torces-thc malice of his
enemies and the folly Of his extra
friends, and is defeated. The de-
sire to defeat a candidate not
pledged to him, has caused the
election OF several Democrats.
This played its part iii our county,
and in others, and will damage Mr..
Harlan Seriously. We are sorry he
should be SO damaged. We do
not believe him in fault in this mat
ter. The Democrats will have an
increase of ahont a dozen members
in orr next Legislature, and all by
grace OF Republicans. This may
be wisdom, but it is occult t. us.
We cannot see it wise. Every such
folly causes u Democratic shout,
and all these men 50 elected will he
none ii less Democrats that Re-
publican votes have placed them in
the Legislature
With the Republican we absolve
Mr.. Harlan personally from these
results, but that his partisan friends
are directly responsible for Repub-
lican defeat in other counties than
johnson does not admit of doubt.
