TIE President has been interviewed
by New Highlander, no less than Sena-

ton. He positively declines to write
any letter renouncing an intention to
run again; in fact, says he has said
nothing and has nothing to say, and
that be stands just where ne did when
he wrote q letter to Deacon Smith, of
the Cincinnati Gazette, in 1872. The
President wound up by assuring the
Senator that if the Republican party
wanted him to run again he would leave
it to them to decide. Let him run by
all means

A STUpESpous ENTERPRISE. I'm
der this head the Chicago CONNER
cial Adcertiser Of Oct. "a has the fol-
lowing notice Of Andreas' map Of
Minnesota, from which our readers
will get good idea Of the proposed
map Of Iowa, which will be similar,
only superior in some respects, to
that of our neighboring State:
The publishing world is about to
have sensation in the publication Of
Andreas' Atlas Of Minnesota, which
will be issued in about four weeks
To show the magnitude Of this work
we condense the following from the
authors preface in the work: "The
lithographic engraving and lithograph-
ic printing if confined to one man and
one press would have taken the man
about thirteen years and the press
nearly two years. II one man had
set the type for this work, and ar
ranged the forms, ard done the elec-
trotyping, it would have taken him
two years and half, and one press
about six months to print it. II one
person had done all the coloring it
would have taken him orty-fve
years. The binding takes seventeen
tons of card board for the cases, and
nearly ton of leather, cloth, etc. 1t
requires seventy tons of paper on
which to print this work, and when
the whole is boxed and ready for
shipment will require eleven freight
cars to carry to its destination"
Then follows the names ofone hun
dred and eight employees who have
been engaged on this work for up
wards of year past, giving their
places of residence, etc.
While the above may be regarded
as extravagant, yet the truth OF it can
be established by any one visiting
the Lakeside Building. From base
ment to roof, from end to end of this
vast building is piled paper and ma
terial for this Atlas. The upper
floors, on which are located respect
lively the lithographing, the bindery
and the printing departments, all Of
which are the most extensive in this
city, are working, and have been for
months, almost exclusively on this
Atlas of Minnesota. Chas. Schober
& Co. run their six steam lithograph-
ic presses night and day, and we
were informed by them that they
have nearly twenty tons of litho-
graphic stone in use in this job.
From what we can gather We have
no hesitancy in saying that Minneso-
ia will find this work an immense
help in showing up its resources, its
wealth and its Improvements; will al
so show its advantages as farming
or lumber region, its fine water
powers and its manufactures. 1t
shows up its enterprising citizens,
its beautiful climate, its lovely scene
ry. Minnesotians can have food for
thought and study for years to come
in this new Atlas, to which Mr.. An
dreas has given assiduous labor,
thought and study.
