IT is reported that the So called finest
steamer on Lake Minnetonka, the Hattie
May, is in almost as unsafe and dangerous
a condition as the May Queen which explod-
ed on Saturday. There is 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 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.

THE MONROE DOCERINE-

On Wednesday last Senator Burnside in
troduced in the Senate preamble and reso
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
pendent condition which they have assumed
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 a ship canal across the
lsthmus of Darien; and such action
could not be regarded in any other light
than as manifestation of unfriendly
disposition towards the United States. This
was suggested by the action of the canal con-
gress at Paris which decided upon the con-
struction of the canal, and commissioned NJ.
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 repro.
scented at the congress, and there was no diff
ference of opinion as to the advisability Of
uniting the two oceans by canal across the
isthmus, and finally the route surveyed and
recommended by an American engineer was
selected as the most feasible. These beine
the facts, it seems to US that the alarm Of
Bombastes Furioso Burnside is entirely I'M
necessary.
For quarter of a century or more the
project OF a canal either across the isthmus
of Darien or Panama has been agitated BY

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 stair" question, is being renewed with
much gusto by the papers of the respective
cities. "Competition is the spice of ife,''
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 gear ago, and were highly
pleased with both; while the Minneapolis ex
position excelled in some respects the St.
Paul fair surpassed in others. We feel as
sured that the coming exhibitions this fall
will be a credit to the State, State that ranks
among the first in the union in getting up
successful and attractive exhibitions.

All figures in regard to the area of wheat

open, to very free criticism. The only Off

based upon nothing but unofficial guesses,
and are so tardy in their appearance that
they seem to be only desperate dashes to
strike an average of the popular opinion.
Even the census of 1870, while it furnished
the estimate of the total crop of wheat, gave
nothing in regard to the area upon which
