MINNESOTA AT PIN

MINNESOTA ATPARLS
The St. Paul Chamber of Commerce
and the Minneapolis Board of Trade
have issued circular to the people Of
the State upon the in portance of hav-
ing Minnesota properly represented at
the approaching Paris Exposition.
They ask not only aid from the Legis-
failure but from railroad companies.
We should like to see Mobiles county
represented by some samples of our
products. We are too new of course
to do much in that way, but the State
could make a remarkable exhibit, and
we hope it will profit by it's experience
i'll missing the splendid opportunity af-
forded by our own national Centenni-
al Exposition. Minnesota lost tens of
thousands of dollars and thousands of
settlers by her niggardly policy in re-
tusing a proper appropriation and neg
lecting to make a showing at the Cen
tennial. In Chicago, few days ago,
we learned from real estate dealer
that the fine exhibits made by Kansas
a"' Texas were to-day turning thou
sands of settlers in that direction.
We say what we know when we re-
peat that Minnesota has been the most
niggardly OF the new States in adver-
tisingh splendid advantages and that
to-day it is the most poorly advertised
State in the new West. We hope the
Legislature will this winter get it's
eyes open to the Importance and neces-
sity Of some appropriation adequate to
the advertising demands of the State.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

1dE NOtOkEAN WAHk
The latest accounts indicate further
Russian successes and terrible distress
In the Turkish army which the govern
ment is unable to relieve. An armis-
tice is talked Of with view to peace,
but we venture this prediction, viz
that the demands of victorious Russia
will be such that even if Turkey should
submit to them, the leading European
powers will not. The arrogant and ag.
gressive Russian, we predict, will new.
or stop until compelled to do so by a
combination of other European powers.
We look for a long and terrible war,
the issue of which no public man can
now fOreSee.

THE HE'LL QUESTION.

~ w NOW sno HN0oSAOAA 90 w GA CtIN-
less hell taken out of their hands and
settled by the newspapers. Since Far
rar and Beecher have spoken out
against the theological idea of endless
punishment, all the editors, great and
small, are having their say, some of
them bordering on levity, which to a
devout believer in the orthodox hell,
seems irreverent, to say the least. The
Milwaukee Sentinel wants Congress to
tit out an exploring expedition and see
whether it can't be settled in that way.
But these newspaper editors and, re-
porters, are such jolly set of fellows,
that they would extract fun from any
thing. They will make people laugh
over funeral or a hanging, and if the
way were open to that fiery world so
much feared by people, the newspapers
would have their Stanleys there by the
score, exploring the interior, writing
back heated and volum;nous descrip-
tions, and quarrelling with the native
demons because mail and telegraph ia
cilities were not better.
But to be serious, we believe much
good will result from the agitation of
these questions. If it were not for ag-
itation and discussion, the people
would be as much in the hands of
priestcraft as they were during the
dark ages. Ifquestions relating to our
eternal destiny are to be left only to
theologions and priests, if men are to
be frightened out of free discussion,
investigation and liberty of conscience,
by every sect or church, which chooses
to threaten them with endless torture,
unless they adopt the particular views
of particular sect,-then goodbye to
all manhood and to liberty, both reli.
gious and political.
1t was reserved for theology alone to
enforce it's views by threats of endless
torment unless such views are embrace
ed. Science does not attempt that.
Political parties never dream of con-
signing their opponents to eternal tor
ture because they do not hold the same
views. Think of Newton threatening
all men who did not receive his untlu-
latory theory of light with endless pun
ishment. Think of Lyle or Hugh Mil
Ter, telling men that unless they accept
ed their views of geology, they must all
be eternally lost in 4 lake that burns
with fire and birthstone. And then
think of the catastrophists and those
who believe in the gradual formation
theory, warning upon eacllother, and
each condemning the other to hell be-
cause they could not agree !
Yet this is what the warning sectar-
lists and theologians do. Taking the
sects as they stand to-day, and there is
no hope for man. The whole race will
be lost in eternal hell, for, go where
you will, into whatever church or sect
you may take refuge, there will be a
host outside condemning you to ruin,
because you do not believe with them.

The Terrible Fever.

The yellow fever scourge continues
without abatement, and while exag-
gerations OF the suffering and desti-
tuition in many of the cities OF the
south, have probably been tele-
graphed over the land, the reality
must be terrible. The situation at
Grenada, Memphis, Vicksburgh, Port
Gibson and New Orleans IL enough to
send a thrill of horror to every heart
in the land. % Grenada is almost en-
tirely depopulated. Trade and travel
areentirely suspended throughout the
region of country in which the fever
prevails. and thousands are thus
thrown out OF employment. Up to
Monday evening over thousand had
died in New Orleans, and a thousand
more are sick. The deaths average
about ninety each day, an6 the worst
will not probably be reached until
the middle of the present month. In
the other cities mentioned above. its
ravages are even more terrible, IL we
take into consideration the popula-
ton as compared with New Orleans.
But we are glad to chronicle the fact
that the entire North is responding
to the cry for help. New York City

The bankrupt law is no more. 1t
expired last Saturday. During the
last week OF its existence thousands
of petitions were filed, and during the
last day in some OF the large cities
they averaged one minute for sew
eral hours Ia succession. Speaking
of the large number fled in Chicago,
the Inter Ocean says: @The great
share are the petitions OF those who
have been virtually bankrupt for a
year or two, or even longer, and the
official recognition of the fact will
occasion no additional pain or dis
tress. There are cases, for instance,
where foreclosures have been made
on property that only a short time
since was regarded as easily worth
double the incumberance. When the
sale came the property was bid in at
a sum far below the amount CT the
mortgage, and judgment entered
for the balance. In numerous cases
this property was all the debtor pos
sessed, and the entering up OF the
judgment was a mere form, the cred
itor never expecting more, and, In
many cases, as in that of insurance
companies and banks, advising the
petition in bankruptcy in order to
finally dispose OF the matter. .asi
We're it not for these facts, the
army OF bankrupts, with their inn
mense indebtedness, might well be
looked upon with alarm and a fear
that their failure would drag down
houses and individuals heretofore
deemed solvent. As we have said
however, the great majority Of the
cases are old ones. and the failures
having been discounted, no alarm
need be felt" The end OF lawful
bankruptcy gives general satisfac-
pressed condition of affairs 1t de.
stroyed confidence and made the
trade unstable. Now that 1t il
ended the business man feels that
debts contracted will be paid and IL
seems to be the general opinion In
business circles that its end will give
a new impulse to business.
