OF the Tribune, are going to consol-

what kind of an impression this
would make but it looks to US as
though it might be "protangible."

We happen to know a thing or
two about this ourselves, but it amt
policy to say much just yet. You
see the European war, taken in con-
nection with the prospects of the
Brainerd and Glyndon branch rail
roads, will give such a stimulus to
the trade in huckleberries, cheese
and hay, the staple productions OF
the n. z. country, as will warrant
the establishing of an organ for
these indispensibles, and it is safe
to say that the boys who have the
matter in charge will prove them
selves to be the Fright men in the
right place" They will get out a
better paper on Hay Press than
most any other trio would on a
Hoe Press.
About thousand young men

that will be good as far as it goes, II not as
extensive or IA thoroughly representative OF
our arts and industries as we could wish. The
main thing after all is to show our best things,
and not to cover acres of space with mediocre
products which the Frenchman will pass with
his nose in the air. Many of our exhibits as
tonished the best European experts last sum
mer by their excellence, ingenuity and good
taste. The reports of the foreign commission
ers and Judges testified to their merits, ana
from no quarter was there more discerning
appreciation and hearty praise than from
France. 1t is such articles, whether they be
sewing-machines or silverware, clothes or cut
lery. steam engines or steel pens, that we ought
to exhibit Most French people had poor
opinion before the Philadelphia exhibition OF
American achievements in arts and manulac-
lures. This opinion has been good deal
modified by the reports of the French Judges
and the letters in the French newspapers about
the Centennial, but we might reform it alto
eether by making an excellent display IN the
Champ de Mars next year, which all France
would be bound to take notice of.
