BEN BUTLER is out of politics. He
publicly declares that he will pay no bills
for political services, whether assumedly
contracted for his benefit or for the ben
eft of his friends. When Ben makes
such an announcement it is evident that
he contemplates complete abandonment
of the pOlitlcal arena.

turned stormy and exceedingly cold about 4
D.. m. The attendance was fair during the
forenoon, but was diminished during the lat
ter part Of the day. Notwithstanding the
disagreeable weather, it was determined to
proceed with the racing programme, and the
two events proved quite interesting, both be-
ing sharply contested. In the 8 minute class
four heats were required, Topsy winning

The price of street railway fares in
Chicago is being reduced to three cents,
fact that makes the Philadelphians get

compelling reduction to reasonable

NpeciaL Fair Notice.

The managers of the fair association regret
that the unfavorable character of the weather
for the pasttwo days compels the postpone
ment of the leading attractions which had
been advertised for Wednesday, Sept. z, the
condition of the race track forbidding its use,
aud the preparations for the sailing of Prof.
King and party in the monster air ship havin g
been SO far interfered with as to prevent
their sailing at the time heretofore stated
The public is therefore notified that the adj
mission to the fair grounds to-day, Wednes
day, will be the usual price of fifty cents and
no charge to the amphitheatre. In the alb.
eence of racing attractions balloon ascension
under the management of Prof. Myers will
be made by Prof. Ruleffson during the after
noon.
The managers wish to farther announce
that they are SO revising their programme
that, assuming as they hope they may safely
do, the weather for the balance of the week
will be favorable, every leading attraction ad-
vertised, including the 20-mile race between
Miss Belle Cook and Miss Emma Jewett, the
sailing of the monster air-ship, the great mile
running race and the great international
equestrian contest between Mrs. Robinson, of
England, and Miss Belle Cook, will come of
during the days OF Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday next, commencing on Thursday with
the contest between Miss Cook and Miss jew
EFT, to be followed by the four-mile running
race, and the sailing of the monster air ship
on Friday, and the great International eques-
trian contest between Miss Robinson and Miss
Cook for the championship of the world, on
Saturday.
The programme for each of the days named
will be extended to include other racing be-
fore advertised, together with the balloon as
tensions, under tie management of Prof.
Myers, by the lady aeronaut, Carlotta, in her
daring flights, and Prof. Ruliffson in his won
derful and marvellous acrobatic performances.
The managers feel fully justified in assert
ing that the display in the live stock depart
ment of the fair has never been equaled at any
meeting of the kind in the Northwest, and the
display in all the departments of the exposi-
ton are far more extensive and attractive than
atany former meeting of this association.

Contrary to general expectations at late
hour Monday night, the storm did not clear
away during the night, but rather increased in
force as morning approached and during the
day. All day long there was steady down
pour of rain, accompanied by strong cold
wind from the northeast. It was in fact one
.of the severest and most disagreeable storms
of rain visiting this section for a year past,
and of course put al rest any thought OF at
tempting to carry out any part Of the exposi-
ton programme.
A more DISMAL sight than the grounds pre-
scented it would be hard to imagine. It was
mud, mud, mud-mud to the front and rear,
right and left. Boards were strung along be-
tween the different halls and along the main
walks for the benefit of the few rubber clad
visitors who wandered about like lost
spirits, but they were soon cngulfed IN the
liquid soil. The different halls were almost
entirely deserted, and the blowers" for the
various 'scatch all" shows who have struck
their tents on the grounds, extO'led the vir-
tues of their attraction in stentorian tones, all
in vain, the few people about being too de-
Jected and disappointed to care for anything
apparently.
Col: King, unfortunately, was quite unwell
during the day, suffering from overwork in
preparation, a cold contracted Monday, and a
lame back, caused by being hit by falling
ladder saturday. He, however, bore ND brave
ly under his many trials, and maintained a
tairly cheerful conutenancs, though he could
not entirely hide his disappointment and his
anxiety of mind. Secretary Clark was on the
ground all day long, doing all in his power to
keep everything il proper shape.
While the grounds were nearly deserted, the
hotels both in Minneapolis and st. Paul, were
| crowded to overlooking with visitors both
| from within and without the State, while
every arriving train increased the crowd, indi-
| eating that Notwithstanding many intending
visitors renamed at home on account of the
storm, had the day been fair there would have
| been an immense attendance.
| As will be seen by the special announcement
of Col. King below, he proposes to 90
forward, and as rapidly as possible
present all the great attractions
| he has provided, an announcement that we
feel confident will be hailed with qualification
by the thousands of visitors now in Minneapo
lis and St. Paul, by the residents of the two
cities, and the people of the State generally
and be by them literally responded to. Clear
skies to-day will soon put the grounds in gooc
condition, and the great exposition, commenc
ed under such discouraging circumstances
will yet, it is to be hoped, end in blaze Of
| glory. Read the special announcement.

sued the railroad company. The only de-
fence made was that the porter was en-
pIoyed by the owners of the drawing-room
cars and that the railroad company was not
responsible for his misbehaviOr. But the
Court of Appeals said, in effect, that rail-
road company makes the porter its servant by
adopting the drawing-room car for carrying
its passengers, and is responsible for his acts
toward passengers. Ordinary travellers are
not expected TO distinguish between employees
of the two corporations, or to know what
special arrangements exist between them.
The United States Supreme Court has now
asserted the same principle. The traveller
was ticketed from Chicago to Philadelphia,
starting at night and occupying sleeping
car berth. Next morning he met an acqualnt-
ance who had q berth in another car, and he
went into that car for conversation. AS they
sat chatting the upper berth of the section
fell it struck the visitor on the head and
produced serious and permanent injury of the
brain. The Supreme Court says that he was
warranted in suing the railroad company
directly. A railroad company is responsible
for injuries received by passengers which
might have been avoided by the use,
on the part of the company, of the
highest degree of vigilance and skill,
and, in particular, for an injury attributable
to weakness or defect in the car itself, az
when a berth, which ought to stay up, falls
without warning. A railroad company cannot
make use of the cars Of Pullman or Wagner
without making the same examination OF
them, or taking the same responsibility In
regard to their condition. as is required in
respect to the company's ordinary passenger
cars. The law will not permit a railroad
company, through any device or arrangement
with a sleepIng-car company whose cars are
used as part of the train, to throw the duty
of providing proper means for the safe con-
yeyance of passengers upon the latter The
lawyers for the company endeavOred to make
point out of the circumstance that the pas
senger was not riding in his own seat, but
had temporarily visited another car but the
Court said this made no sort of difference.

PROFESSOR HIYDS REVELATIONS.

The letters of Professor Hind are not pleas
ant reading to people on the other side of
our Northern boundary. Self-respecting Ca
nadians must feel greatly mortified at the
charge that their Provincial authorities sys-
tematically falsifed official statistics during
long period of years in order to establish
basis for an cxorbiiant and fictitious
claim against the United States on account
of the fisheries while on our part the discov-
cry that we have been cheated ont of five and
half millions of dollars is calculated to arouse
sentiment of lively Indignation. Even OH
the supposed facts which the Provincial au-
thorities placed before the Halifax Commission,
the award agalnst the United States
was manifestly unreasonable, and Mr.. Evmts
objected to it as strongly as he could without
compromising our dignity as a Nation by ap-
pearing to be eager to escape the result OF an
arbitration to which we assented by the Treaty
of Washington. What shall we say now whey
it is shown that these pretended facts were
no facts at all, and that the figures upon
which the Canadians based their demand
were lies This showing does not come
from our side of the line. A Canadian gentle
man, who completed the analytical index o.
the papers placed before the Commission,
makes the exposure. We wish, MS sincerely as
our Canadian neighbOrs can wish, that his
statements might be diSproved, but they APP
pear to be too direct and too we'll

perversion of the charter, such as those OF
Friday night, may result, in its early amend
ment. 1t is the inevitable consequence of all
special legislation like that which produced
our present as well as previous charters,
that it imposes constant amendment
and alteration, until the loop-holes Tor
appointments which, if not fraudulent, are at
least procured by sharp practice. are broad
and abundant. The removal of Mr.. Mooney
and the resignation of Mr.. COnover were SIM
ply incidents of plot to place Mr.. MacLean
in q position i'll which nobody but his friends,
Mr. Cooper and Mr.. Tilden, and himself,
wanted to see him. 1t will doubtless be urged
that it was incumbent on Mayor Cooper to
make these appointments by reason OF implied
and expressed obligations to the Democratic
and Republican parties, which unitedly elected
him to maintain non-partisap government
in certain offices. Very true; and in view of
the fact that Mayor Grace was elected as
Democrat by united Democratic party, and
is not pledged to maintain the nOn-partisan-
ship of the Departments, the naming of Mr..
Asten, who is Republican, to succeed MIR.
Rowland, of the same party, was perfectly
proper and justifiable. But the same cannot
be said of the appointments of Mr.. Conover,
Mr.. Oliffe and Mr. MacLean. The Offices to
which they were appointed were not IN the De-
partments which Mr.. Cooper was pledged to keep
non-partisan. All of the gentlemen named are
Democrats, as the new Mayor is; and it might
have been thought for the public interest to
leave the other positions to be filled by the
Mayor who is to be responsible for the good
behavior and efficiency of these appointees
The scandal involved invites further special
legislation. which will probably only confuse
matters still more.
