Several Matters of Public Importance
Brought up and Discussed.
A regular monthly meeting of the board of
trade was held yesterday morning. About
thirty members were present, The meeting
was called to order by President George A.
Pillsbury. A committee, constituting the
the following persons, were appointed to con-
fer with the various railways centering in the
city respecting the construction and location
of the proposed new union depot and to CO.
operate with similar committees from other
organizations:
Thos. Laury, W. W. McNair, Geo. A.
Bracket, Anthony Kelly, c. M. Loring, W.. s,
King, John De Laittre and Geo. A. Crump.
This question induced a lengthy discussion.
The president said that Mr.. Willard had
stated that in his opinion Minneapolis should
have $500, 600 depot.
Mr.. McNair thought it would be exceedingly
difficult to procure the requisite ground for
the purpose in almost any eligible locality.
Mr.. Benton announced that Mr.. Maxwell OF
the st. P, NJ. & VI. road would be in the city
this afternoon, at2 o'clock, and thought it
well that the committee meet him.
G. A. Nimocks submitted his proposition
to erect an Opera house on Sixth street
Many members of the board objected to the
location.
Mr.. DeLaittre was in favor of a corner
Mr.. Nimocks stated that corner property
was too expensive to prove renumerative for
such purpose.
The following motion by Mr.. Blakely was
adopted:
Resolued, That an opera house built upon
the ground floor is an admitted necessity OF
the situation in Minneapolis at this time, and
this board hereby recognizes, and will assist In
all legitimate ways the desrability OF this end,
and the chairman is hereby requested to ap-
point committee to confer with the parties
proposing to construct such building, and
| to report to an adjourned meeting OF this
board at as early date as possible.
Some of the members were in favor OF the
proposition recently published by the mana.
| gers of the Academy to remodel that place OF
amusement.
| The following committee was appointed to
| take the matter into consideration and to con-
fer with the interested parties: W s. King. A.
| c. Rand, II. G. Hicks, Loring Fletcher, John
| De Laittre and A. B. Burton. The chairman
of this committee called a meeting of
the same for 10 o'clock this morning. Mr.. j.
L. Saphon, who also made a proposition to
build an opera house, was invited to meet tue
committee at that time.

1879 was 81 6.1O per cent. Tested by these
records the business of 1881 appears to have

late president regard this portrait as giving
somewhat different phase of the late presidents
character from that presented by the engrav-
ing by Cole in the December Century, and as
revealing his affectionate qualities, while the
latter was especially strong on the intellectual
side of his nature. The artotype is also inter-
esting as being the portrait Mrs. Garfield Sc
lected to send to Queen Victoria.

stands: A willingness to believe dishon-

THAT James Russell Lowell has fairly
earned the hostile criticism he receives,
no one acquainted with the facts will
question. That there are many Irish
American citizens among the suspects
incarcerated by the British government,
who richly deserve the punishment that
is being meted out to them, no one will
attempt to deny. But the trouble with
Lowell is that he has adopted the doc
triDe of the ''King can do no wrong" in
its entirety. No Irish American can be
arrested as suspect" without having
his case prejudged by the poet statesman
and set down as man whose liberty it
would be wise to curtail. The British
government is apt to enforce laws rigidly
and acts upon the principle that it is bet
ter that two innocent men should suffer
than that one guilty man should escape.
Lowell is not a man to interfere with
such arbitrary exercise of authority
His purpose seems to be rather to avoid
giving otfense to the government TO
which he is accredited, than to protect
the citizens Of the country which he rep
resents. A minister might go too far in
the interests of officious people unmind-
full of the peaceful relations existing be-
tween the countries. But it is far better
to err on that side. Mr.. Lowell goes to
the other extreme and were complaints
made by any other class of people than
the Irish-American citizens his recall
would be immediate.

FITz JOHN PORTER, according to the
opinion of the attorney general. can not
be reinstated i'll the army, nor have the
verdict of the military court which found
him guilty set aside. His wrongs must
go gnredressed. There are some little
formalities and slight technicalities which
bar the wsy of justice and the old soldier
whose life has for almost twenty years
been clouded by wrong must cease de-
handing justice, because certain modes
of procedure preclude the exercise of fair
play. If a man were sentenced to death
for crime and when the halter was
around his neck bis innocence was estab-
lished, still he should be sacrificed so
that things might run on smoothly. Gen.
Porter is in this condition. He must
bear the wrong done him so that blame

him guilty.

THE celebrated Statesman ana writer,
II. Rochefort of France, evidently be-
lieyes that church going is neither con-
Gaciye to morality or charity. Parnell's
visit TO France has been the occasion of
many editorials on irsn affairs in the
Paris press. NJ. Rochefort attributes
the tyranny of the ''Britishers" to the
'sloathsome and detestable habit of going
to church when they are young and list
euing TO sermons" How the habit is
lothsome, perhaps, only Frenchman
could explain. An American whose
church going proclivities are as much &
matter of fashion as style of dress will
take very serious exception TO the word
iosthsome,
