MANKATo, Jan. 15.-This town seems to
be reviving from the grasshopper ravages,
and merchants who have been obliged to
carry until their back was nearly broken, are
now sending out sharp duns, and are graft
fed to know they are meeting with ready re-
spouse.
Master John Meagher, son of Hon.
Francis Meagher, will soon tale his depart
ure for Georgetown to enter the Jesuit
Fathers shool, the Oldest Catholic institu-
ton in America.
The genial face Of Foster, of the Clifton
house, is seen no more in its
wonted place. He is in Chicago selling
magnetic plasters, while DR.. Gle is giving
him hail Columbia for stealing his magnetic
thunder.
The Clifton House proprietors say Man
kato is going to have "boss' house next
year, and they will have the lease.
Manksto is happy. j. N. Hall, the can
tankerous Methodist banker, has been
squelched, Professor John indicated, and
the good Methodist people arc going to
raise the church debt and stink no longer in
the nostrils of the average Mankatoian and
the balance of the Christians throughout the
Stats.
The new Merchants hotel, Miner Porter
proprietor, is gem. The house is new
from garrett to cellar, the beds arc simply
elegant, furniture new and ample, good
sample rooms for commercial travellers to
display their wares, and two goUd billiard
tables for those who like this kind of fun.
The house is one that ought to be we'll pat
ronized, and doubtless will be. Bro. Porter
is always around. He is the last man to be
seen at night and the first in tho morning.
SIOUX CITY.
Sioux CRY, Jan. 1G.-This thriving city
seems to be enjoying good degree of bust
ness. The town is piettily situated-locat-
ed on the Missouri about az st. Paul is on
the Mississippi. The bluffs about the city
are not quite as high. Many beautiful pri-
vate residences crown the summit of the
bluffs. OF the public buildings the court
house is very handsome structure of brick,
with free stone trimmings. The dome is
surmounted with statue of Justice holding
the suspended balance. The churches are in
fourishing condition and ministers alive
to the necessities OF the people
occupy the pulpits. The morals of the place
have been vastly improved of late years, the
temperance reformers having done great
work. With large elevators, mills, pork
packing establishments, factories, wholesale
establishments and favorable situation, Sioux
City is destined to be an important city in
time. To travelling men after good bust
ness, the most important desideratum is a
good harbor. The Hubbard house furnishes
this. The new proprietors, Norris Bros,
are doing all that money and experience can
do. The house has undergone extensive re-
pairs, and with its new furniture is a credit
to this place. The dining room is very
large, airy and we'll managed.
The weather is quite summerlike, and early
navigation is looked for. Several boats have
nosed into the levee, and will be on hand for
early spring work. Yours, QUIvI.

The report of the House committee on
the case of Gen. Fitz John Porter should be
adopted without delay or question. The
allowan ce of seventy-fve thousand dollars
in lieu of salary during the time in which
LIE was illegally and wrongfully deprived Of
his rank in the army is very moderate, and
there should be no hesitation in granting
it to him. We are glad to record the fact
that there is at last prospect that the
wrong done him nearly eighteen years age
will be in part rIghted.

in which all tho people, minorities as well MS
majorities, are accorded the privilege of q
voice in the administration of affairs.
Yet there are many difficulties
in the way of its establishment.
But the bill as drawn has many features to
commend it to careful consideration. If
adopted it will simplify the methods now in
vogue, especially in cases of contest, for the
proposed amendment provides that the cleo
toral votes shall be counted by the two
houses as certified, unless rejected by both
houses; but if there is certificate of decis-
ion by the highest judicial tribunal of any
State upon contested election therein, the
electoral votes of such State shall be counted
in accordance with such decision unless the
same be overruled by both houses. If there
IS no such certificate of decision, the con-
tested votes from any State shall not be
counted unless both houses concur therein.
If there is more than one certificate of cleo
toral votes from any State and no such judi
cial decision, or if there is more than one
such decision from any State, in either case
that certificate of electoral votes, or that de-
cision which shall be held by both houses to
be made by rightful authority shall be con-
elusive, and the votes shall be counted &C.
cordingly, unless rejected by both houses.
We do not apprehend that the proposed
amendment can be carried in time to be-
come operative in the next Presidential cleo
ton. Still the matter is worthy of consid-
Grafton. It is only question of time when
some amendment to our present system will
be imperatively necessary, and it is not too
early to begin the discussion of such schemes
as may be presented.

The Chicago Tribune seems to DO endeav-

Mr.. Washburne, however, which IS fatal to
his Presidential aspirations, of which we have
to remind the Tribune. 1t is that he is cur

who made Grant. Aperson guilty of such

PARNELL AT PROVIDENCE.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 17.-Music hall
was filled to overlooking this evening at the
Parnell and Dillon demonstration, and
great enthusiasm prevailed. Several promi-
nent citizens, including Gov. Howard, were
on the platform. Mayor Doyle presided,
and, in introducing Parnell, expressed warm
sympathy with the cause which he and his
colleagues represent. Parnell spoke little
over half an hour, describing
the sufferings in Ireland, and denouncing
the land system. After breaking down the
land system he believed not a very long time
would elapse before the first step would be
taken towards the national independence of
Ireland. At the close of the address Parnell
was decorated with medal made from q
silver dollar dated 1898. He was
followed by Dillon at some length, and
public spirited address was also
made by Rev. Father Kennerney, of Paw
tucket A subscription WAS taken for the
Irish relief fund. The audience was COM
posed almost entirely of Irish-Americans.
At the close of the meeting Parnell and Dill
Ion we're escorted to the Narragansett Hotel,
where collation. was served and where they
remained till midnight, when they took
train for New York.

PERHAPS one result Of the complications
IN Maine will be that the election laws will
be SO modified as to prevent any future
trouble of a like character. If this shall be
done the circumstances Of the past few
weeks will not have been without a good
purpose. The constitution of the State
ought to be so amended as to permit the in
stallation of governor chosen by plural
ity of votes, and to define the manner in
which returns shall be made so as to preclude
any possible misunderstanding of the intent
of the law.

Too Street For AnUthing.

There is a generous rivalry between the
st. Paul GLOBE and Pioneer Psess, which is
beautiful to see. The former got the city
printing, and the P. p. wants to work in a
sort of electoral commission to see whether
public printing shouldn't be abolished. This
is too sweet for anything.

On Sunday night, Jan. 18th, Swan Cole

crossing Washington Lake, at Dassel, with

suddenly broke through. A girl, years

he had, however, abstained from proposing
an amendment.
The President observed that there had
been no year where the $3.50 so granted
had not been exceeded; but If he were not
mistaken there was one particular year
where the $500 were granted by a second
vote of the Council, just at the recon-
mendation of the honorable Chairman.
The Chairman said he had never person

TIFF SPECTATOR ON THE
SUGAR BOUNTIES.

We cannot quite understand the
passion with which the question of the
operation of the European Sugar
Bounties is treated by some Of our
contemporaries question which
seems to us one of the most purely
intellectual economical questions of
the day, except so far as II or two
great interests are affected by it, and
which should be for all of us decided
by purely intellectual considerations
even in its bearing on those great
interests. We could understand the
organs of the sugar-refners or of the
sugar-planters treating the subject
with some warmth; but why the dis
cussion of how to give effect to the
most perfect Free-trade, when the
principle to be adopted is already
settled, and the only question is how
it may be best carried out, should be
treated with so much heat, we do not
clearly understand. The truth is,
Il at it is not always very easy to
decide which is the more effectual
mode ofapplying a true principle, and
in the present case there is some real
difficulty in the matter but that is
no reason why those who take one
view should fling hard words at those
who quite as honestly take the other.
1t seems to us that the statement
which has been made that the Report
of the Committee on the Sugar Indus
tries is "a formal recantation of Free
trade" is quite at variance both with
the facts of the case, and with the
whole tenour of the argument of the
Committee. Of course, assuming
Free-trade doctrines as the basis of
argument, it is arguable enough that
the Committee have come to a wrong
conclusion nor should we think OF
suggesting hat the minority of the
Committee were virtually recanting
their Free-trade principles in the view
which they took. But then it seems
to us even more easily arguable, on
the same principles, that the m ajority
of the Committee, came to a right
conclusion and whether this be SO or
not, it does seem perfectly plain that
the assumptions on which their report
is founded are completely and honest
~ in harmony with Free-trade views.
We viii state as briefly as we can the
issue between the two parties, as we
understand it.

party questions the absolute inconsis-
tency with Free trade principles of the

iHe export VI a. COIlHlOuiIy pfOuuCeu
in a particular way. Mr.. Courtney
himself would, of course, eagerly con-
denim this he would be the first to
protest against our own Government
declaring a bounty on any conceivable
form of British product or manufac-
ture. And if he condemns this in our
own Government, he must equally
condemn it in the French or Austrian
Government. We may, we suppose,
then, assume that even Lord Frede-
rick Cavendish and Mr.. Courtney, if
they could, by a wish, modify the
French, Austrian, and other tariffs
imposing a bounty IN the export of
homemade sugar, would at once
extinguish it.
2. We doubt whether even Mr..
Courtney or Lord Frederick Caven-
dish would contend that, as a matter
of fact, the development of the Euro
pean Beet-root sugar production has
not been artifcially stimulated by the
system OF bounties, though they did
propose to deny,-as it seems to us,
in fragrant opposition to all the facts
Of the case, except only on some
most unnatural construction of the
words,-that "the development of the
sugar-growing industry of our Colo
MES has been checked" thereby. We
presume that they regard the small
growth Of our colonial sugar indus
try in recent years, which has gone
on side by side with the great strides
Of the bounty-fed sugar, and with the
very great increase Of the general
demand for sugar, as proving that it
has not been checked. Just as well
it might be said that if a stunted
child grew half an inch, while q heal
thy child grew an inch and a half,
there was no "check" to the formers
development on the ground that some
growth was visible. In 1871 the
total production of cane sugar in
British possessions was 319,3S0 tons
and in 1878 393,536 tons; while the
production of beet-root sugar had in
the same time increased from $4,000
tons to 1,420,82 tons. In other
words, while the cane-sugar produced
in British Colonies, had increased
something like 23 per cent, the boun-
ty-fed beet sugar had increased GO
per cent. If we take into account the
other cane-grown sugar besides that
OF British Colonies, the case is still
worse. The quantity grown by all
the other cane-growing countries Eek
Guiding our own) had increased only
from 1890, 108 tons in 1871, to
1862 07 tons in 1878. 1t is only in
the British possessions that the cane
grown sugar has ever held its ground
in proportion to the total production
Of sugar, while it has not held its own
ground at all in proportion to the
beet-grown sugar. 1t does seem i'm
possible, under such circumstances as
these, to maintain that the artificially
stimulated sugar owes nothing to it's
artificial stimulus and very paradox
cal to maintain that the production of
the sugar which has had no such
artificial stimulus has not been
checked" by the artificial impulse
given to its rival.
