The reported organization of powerful
financial syndicate for the speedy construc-
ton of the Northern Pacific railroad is a
fixed fact. The contractors for the loan are
Drexel, Morgan & Co., Winslow, Lanier &

some of the best known bankers in this
country as we'll as in Europe, among whom
are Messrs. Drexel & Co. of Philadelphia
J. S. Morgrn & Co. of London, aud Drexel,
Harjes & Co. of Paris. In New York the
associates are the Bank of Commerce, the
Third National bank, Messrs. L. Won Hoff-

Rev. DIR. J. D. FULTON, a sensational
preacher of New York, believes that the
perehilia of the planets: may have caused
diptheria, and that there may be coming on
the world calamities that have not been
hitherto known, besides plaques, and
storms and tidal waves, which will swamp
whole cities; there are plaques sleeping in
the hands of God to which the conagion
now devastating our homes would be but as
drop before an impending shower. Speak
ing particularly of diphtheria, DR.. Fulton
says this disease may be the result of dis
turbance in the atmosphere consequent up
on the perihelian of the four great planets
Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. In
542 and 1865 three Of the planets-Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn-were in perhelion, and
these were the worst plague eras Of which
history has any record. In 1720 Mars and
Jupiter were in perihelion, and in the sin
gle city of Marseilles, France, 1000 out of
$4,000 Of the population died.

The fuel question and tree planting will
engage the earnest attention of the next
legislature of Minnesota. What has been
accomplished by legislation toward the So
LUTON of the question falls far short of the
requirements Of the situation. The ordin-
airy matters of legislation sink into insignif-
icance compared with the duty Of broad,
comprehensive and statesmanlike legislation
that will meet the necessities and just ex-
pectations of the people. 1t is hoped
that the multitude of appointed counsellors,
aided by those who find the post Of honor
in the private station, may have the wisdom
to devise such legislation and carry it into
practical effect.

The business of all the lines of railroad
is greatly impeded by the lack of sufficient
rolling stock. The cry for more cars comes
from every quarter and shippers complain
bitterly of the incapacity of the roads to
handle and move promptly the freight that
is offered them. The results of the great
business boon, and increased products, were
evidently unexpected, as also the premature
closing of navigation. Remedies will soon
be found, however, for this condition of
affairs, and everything will again move
smoothly. The car makers will have all the
work they are able perform in fully equip
ping the roads now in operation, while the
demands of new lines now stretching out in
every direction are much greater than can
be promptly supplied.

WILLIAM KLEIN, coroner of Nicollet
county, has declined to hold an inquest on
the bodies of those who lost their lives by
the burning of the Minnesota Insane Hos
pital at st. Peter. The matter will proba-
bly, be the subject of Legislative investiga-
ton. AS the cause of the fire it is stated
that the coils. of the steam heaters were
surrounded by dry pine wood, and the pa
tents had been in the habit of sticking
straws between these coils. and that, in all
probability, some of these straws had be-
come ignited and set the wood work around
the coils on fire.

The Alleged Assassin of judge PAGE.

The Alleged Assassin OF Judge Page.
John A. Riley, the man who was arrested
in Wisconsin on a charge of shooting Judge
Page of Austin, in August last, and was
taken to Dexter and then to Freedom county
jail at Albert Lea, was brought before JUS
tice Gaskill at Dexter on Monday
last for examination. Judge Page
himself appeared as the only counsel for
the prosecution, and Judge Cameron
and Lafayette French for the defence.
Judge Page asked that the examination be
postponed, giving various reasons, after
wards embodied in an affidavit, why the
motion should be granted. He said in ef-
feet, that he was in poor health; still suffer-
ing from his gunshot wounds, and unable
to proceed with the case. Besides this, an
adjourned term Of court was to begin at
Austin on Tuesday and he had many i'm
portant cases which demanded his
attention. There was no counsel
but himself who could go on
with the case, as no one else had heard any
thing about it. For these reasons he asked,
quoting the statute, that the court should
order postponement in it's discretion. JUS
tice Gaskill granted the motion, continuing
the case until Dec. 6, remanding Riley to the
custody of Sheriff Sheehan of Freedom
county without bail.

The worlds great fair to be held in New
York in 1883, which is expected to eclipse
all others since the world began, is strug-
Cling for site. The committee on sites
prefer the southwest corner of central park,
but this selection is strongly opposed by a
majority of the newspaper press as desc
Grafton of the park, and there is doubt
whether permission can be obtained to use
it for that purpose. The other eligible sites
are miles away and are private property.
The arguments on both sides have weight,
and the determination of the question is
avolved in great difficulty.

The largely increased receipts Of the
railroads which have been cutting passen-
ger rates between Chicago and Kansas city,
seem to have learned them, as well as other
companies, that cheap transportation means
large receipts, and that the policy which de-
velopes the business of a railroad, is the pol
icy which increases most it's revenue. The
lesson should not be forgotten. Cheap travel
is like cheap postage. People now mail ten
letters at three cents each, where they mailed
two at the old rates of five and ten cents; and
they will travel two thousand miles at two
cents mile, in pursuit of business or

The Mississippi river closed this year at
Davenport and Muscatine, Iowa, on the 21st
of November the earliest date in thirty
eight years. In 1857 the next earliest date
occurs-and the Winter was very mild
one. In 1912, the closing of November 26
was followed by the coolest and longest
winter ever experienced in that region, the
river remaining solid until the 9Th day of
April. There are occasional exceptions, as
in 1912, but as rule, early closing Of the
river was followed by cold winter and
a late opening in the spring.

1T would be hard for an optomistic poll
tician, emigration or railroad land agents,
to be more enthusiastic than Gen. Miles
over the vast region lately rescued from saw
age rule. He believes that the territory of
Dakota and Montana will be made States
during Garfeld's administration, and says
that they might be justly cut into five
states, and that each of them would be lar
ger than Ohio. The general astonished, but
in no wise displeased st. Paul, by predic-
ton that the city would have apopulation Of
$50, 900 in fifteen years, probably in ten.

THERE is fair prospect of thorough
and impartial investigation of the Minneso-

the cause of the fire has been traced to one
of the patients, there are many other things
connected Herewith and also with the gen.
eral management Of the institution, which
will afford ample scope for inquiring minds.
There may be lite ground for censure, and
possibly for improvement, but determina-
ton of facts seems necessary under the cir

circular letter to the officers of public insti-

exercise great diligence to avert disaster.

hospital, railroad casualties, and many other
things which are termed accidents, seem
to be necessary warnings, and are often pro-
