iShakopee (Scott county, Argus, June 26.l
This week, from conversation with a
careful, thoughtful and prudent farmer, We
learned that indications of rust has appeared
upon the timber whesss Of this portion of the
county. AS yet thereeis no need of serious
alarm. The rust has not become general nor
has it yet injurionsly affected those fields
| which it has attacked8n 1t is in the heavy
timber that rust first makes its appearance.
Heavy rains, together with cloudy, damp,
cool weather, causes the grain to rust. So
far as we are able to ascertain, no indications
OF this blight arc apparent upon the prairie

nent or by way of Aspinwall and Panama,
whore two transfers were necessary-from
the Atlantic steamships to the Panama rail
road, and from that road
to the Pacific steamships, or vice
versa. This was both tedious and expensive,
involving long delays in the transportation
of goods, and often heavy losses to shippers.
The interest in the canal has subsidized in
this country, however, since the completion
of the transcontinental railroads, which en-
ables citizens of the Atlantic to communicate
with citizens of the Pacific coast within the
limits of single week. 1t is not nearly as
essential to our commerce now to have
canal across the isthmus as it was fourteen
years ago, but it is quite as essential to the
commerce of other countries as ever, and 1t
is not to be expected that they will abandon
the scheme oven though the government Of
United States has done SO.
The resolution of Senator Burnside is a
display of the g-ia-the-manger spirit,
which we dislike to see manifested in Con-
gress. It is now generally conceded that this
government will do nothing in aid of the pro-
posed canal. We have one transcontinental
line of railroad, and in the course of five
years will have two more, which will be SUI
fcient for the needs of our trade for many
years to come. European nations have no
such facilities, nor can they have any in
prospect The construction of ship canal
such as is projected would shorten the dis
lance between Europe, the islands of the Pa
cifc and China and Japan very materially,
and permit the transportation of goods from
one ocean to the other without the losses in
volved in breaking bulk. But after its con-
struction it would be open to Americans upon
the same terms as to Europeans, no matte,
who bears the expense of the work. Under
these circumstances Americans would still
have the advantage over Europeans by being
nearer to the objective point, and in all trade
where speed is an advantage would still hav'
the advantage. There is no likelihood tina
Americans would get the worst of the com
petition for trade unless they proved them
selves deficient in enterprise-a very unlikel
supposition.
The assertion of the Monroe doctrine IN
der such circumstances as these is the helgh
of foolishness. No menace to the integrit
of the United States, we are sure, is intende
by the movers in the enterprise. The ez
pense is to be borne by individual subscriE
tons, not by either of the government
represented in the congress or by all of the1
combined. The resolution in question, g
we'll as the motive that seems to have promp

IT is reported that the so-called finest
steamer on Lake Minnetonka, the Hattie
May, is in almost as unsafe and dangerous
condition as the May Queen which explod-
ed on Saturday. There is a suggestion that
the boat might still be used as tow-boat,
having line long enough to allow row and
sail boats to be towed at a safe distance in
the rear, and if an explosion should occur
only those employed on the boat would be
killed or scalded. Unless this programme is
adopted it will be the safest plan for excur-
sionists to steer clear of this dangerous
craft, or any other steam tubs.

again and again Mr.. Smith repeated bis Of

The Coming State Fair.
[Isanti County Press.

The st. Paul GLOBE announces with as
surance that there will be State fair held in
St. Paul this fall. The rivalry that existed
between the dual cities one year ago upon
the 'sfair'' question, is being renewed with
much gusto by the papers Of the respective
cities. Competition is the spice of life, :
and when fairly used is prolific of great
good, but there is such a thing as abusing a
good thing. We had the pleasure of attend
ing both fairs one year ago, and were highly
pleased with both; while the Minneapolis e1
position excelled in some respects the st.
Paul fair surpassed in others. We feel as
sured that the coming exhibitions this fall
will be credit to the State, State that ranks
among the first in the union in getting UP
successful and attractive exhibitions.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

On Wednesday last Senator Burnside in
luton reciting that as the people of this
union for fifty years have adhered to the
Monroe doctrine, that the nations of the
American continent, by the free and indie
and maintained. are henceforth not to be
considered as subjects for future occupation
by any European power, therefore the people
of these States will not view without serious
unquietude any attempt by the powers of
Europe to establish under their protection
and domination ship canal across the
isthmus of Darien; and such action
could not be regarded in any other light
than manifestation of unfrlendly
disposition towards the United States. This
was suggested by the action of the canal con-
gross at Paris which decided upon the con-
struction of the canal, and commissioned M.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the protector of the
Suez canal, to superintend the work. All
the commercial countries of Europe, besides
the United States government, were repre-
scented at the congress, and there was no diff
ference of opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
uniting the two oceans by canal across the
isthmus, and finally the route surveyed ane
recommended by an American engineer wal
selected as the most feasible. These beinf
the facts, it seems to US that the alarm O.
Bombastes Furioso Burnside is entirely I'm
necessary.
For quarter of century or more tn,
project of canal either across the isthmu
of Darien or Panama has been agitsted by
our Senators and Representatives in Con
gress, and large sums of money have beef
expended in making surveys to determin,
the practicability of this or that route. Pre-
vious to the completion of the Pacific rail
road, all our commerce between tn
Atlantic and Pacific coasts was transacte,
