ALL honor to Mayor O'Brien, Of ST.
Paul, the city executive who stands up
so bravcly for the purity of his city, and
who has taken so bold and positive a
stand against the prostitution with which
certain parts of the city has been reeking.
He has recently issued an order that the
city ordinance prohibiting prostitution
and gambling lie cnforccd-and that
these disgraceful and corrupting houses
be closed by the police. This ordinance
has been executed, when 10 hear it,
descendants of the Puritans and of the
Pilgrim fathers, lift up your hands in
horror, citizens of Christian and virtue
loving municipality,-when 10, the presi-
dent of the city council, Allen,
stands up in defense of these crimes.
This man, Allen, the proprietor of the
Merchants hotel, says the action of the
Mayor has been disastrous to the city
financially! People come to ,Ae city, he
says, seeking amusements of all Sorts
And to draw trade, he believes in furnish
ing all sorts of "amusements." "The men
who came to St. Paul for amusement, spent
$50, 600 or $40, 600 per month, which now
goes to Minneapolis" Who believes this
libel on our merchants and travelling men p!
Who believes that the financial prosperity
of St. Paul is dependent upon licensed
prostitution and gambling? Not Mayor
| OBrien. Remember it. No one but
Allen, president Of the city council, an
Office which he so shamefully disgraces.
No one but Allen. Remember it.

Ir is reported that s. S. Merrill and j. J.
Hill have purchased the franchises of the
St. Cloud, Mankato & Austin Railroad.
If this is true, the road will probably not
be built from Mankato to Austin, as Mr.
Merrill already has road between those
points.-Aibe,t Leu Standard.
We have taken some trouble to investi'
gate this rumor, and find that there is nc
foundation for it whatever. The new
Company have had Il thorough survey
made of the north end of the line, and
will soon be ready to survey the south
end. We have information from a rclia.
able source that there has been no sale to
Mcssrs. Merrill and Hill, or to anybody
else. The n. Y. Improvement Co. still
own the franchises. and up to date, there
is no good reason to believe that they in
tend to sell in the futurc-at least until
after the road is built. On the contrary
fhis Co. will make more money to build
than they possibly can to sell. Our con-
fdcnce in the Austin, Mankato & St.
Cloud r. r. is not entirely gone.
LATEsT.-From Mr.. E. s. Warner, on
Saturday, we learn that Gen. j. w.
Bishop, president of the St. Cloud road,
is now in the east, arranging for the build
ing of that line. The same gentleman
says that Gen. Baker has examined the
stock books of the company and finds
that all the stock is held by the construct
ion company, and that the names of
Messrs. Hill and Merrill do not appear on
the books.-Kankato Rerie,o, aug. II.

FIFTY years ago. August 10th, Chicago
was incorporated. There were then in
the little village 900 inhabitants. The
village site was we'll watcred; the lake,
the muddy creek, the swamp, the marsh,
the mire, were about all she could boast.
But truth is stranger than fiction, fact
than fancy. What chan gc in fifty years
Now behold her, the mighty city of the
mighty west and both mighticr yet to be.
10000 inhabitants in fifty years And
! the end is not yet. Indeed she has risen
from her ashes and her ruin, and in the
short space of some twelve years is she
pressing her claim to he regarded the
second city in commercial influence and
political power in the new world. At the
date of incorporation of Chicago St. Louis
had a population Of $4,000, Cincinnati
nearly 10000, Pittsburgh $1,000, Phila-
deiphia $1,000, and New York $50, 900.
Chicago was at the tail end of western
villages, while all the places mentioned
were cities. The village that mustered
forty six votes on the 10th of August,
1888, has outstripped all the cities of the
United States of that day, except New
York and Philadelphia. New York,
founded in 1850, did not reach q popula-
ton of 100000 until 1850, and Philadcl-
phia did not reach the same standard
until 1850. In other words, Chicago has
accomplished as much in the way Of
growth in fifty years as New York did
in 200.

Do NOT fear that Iowa is going Demo
cratic in the coming campaign, just be
cause of the grand move she has made in
Temperance. The banner state in the
Republican ranks, and one of the fore
most in temperance, she has not grown
weaker by her recent exhibition OF new
strength. Republicanisnl is never routed
by temperance campaigo. One virtue
is only made purer and brighter by an
other, and the Republicanicm Of Iowa is
only buttressed and fortified, and made
mere impregnable than ever By The Ten.-
perancc of Iowa. Democracy NAY be
weakened by the success of temperance
--by the growth of the prohibition senti-
ment-because one of the sour ces Of her
inspiration and eloquence is cut o4f-but
whiskey is not the life blood Of Eepubli-
fanism, and saloons are not the
Eendezvoux of her campaign manage
nor the political headquarters Of caucus
manipulators. Some 10000 Democrats
voted for the prohibitory amendment
last year which amendment received a
majority that made it as binding on the
consciences of all good citizens as if it
had been approved by the Supreme Court.
It is folly to talk about Republican de-
feat in Iowa.

BIG THING, SURE.
City Alive to Memorable Occasion,

precedented Results,

A City Alive to a Mem orablo Occasion.
and Determined to Reach I'm
precedented Results.
The arrangements for the coming Oriole
celebration in Baltimore are certainly
upon a scale which must impress even the
most enthusiastic advocate of big events.
That the Monumental City is looking I'D
and has caught the spirit Of ENTERPRISE
characteristic of the West is beyond ques-
ton. What she does is no longer by
halves, but believing that which is worth
doing at all is worth doing well, now pro-
poses to Guido even New Orleans in carni-
walls, and in addition present attractions
never before dreamed of. If Louisville
and Cincinnati have their great EXPOSE
tons, st. Louis her grand fairs and Chi
cago her Sangerfests, Baltimore has her
summer nights carnival, and that too,
after fashion which all Europe could not
excel.
It would not be a surprise if Baltimore
soon INDUCED in an Exposition herself,
and when she does it will be business, and
no mistake. Having demonstrated her
ability to sur2ass everything in the mys-
tic pageant line ever before attempted
and educated her thoroughgoing energetic
chances are that they will naturally seek
new channels for their experience. and
what more likely than big novelty in the
way Of an exposition, with features never
before resenteC
A.iIe;t0- Baltimore is pcrfecting for the
Orio!@ festivities an electric programme
which: viii astonish the nati,.es, and the
Tuesday night u clrniva. week promises
remavk: .bic series Of attractions in Which
electricity will play Amost important part.
Baltimore was the first city in the Union
to demonstrate the practicability of the
telegraph, the first to construct passen-
ger railway, and the first to illumine the
stress 'E:th ga. Now she proposes to
lead by along wcy the display of electric
light etfects-to be the first to piove its
vide field Of possible operations. The
different electric companies IN the coun-
try are becoming greatly interested in the
exhibition, and VIII vie with each other in
lending experienced and practical aid. It
will be a memorable night, and one which
it will well repay long journey to enjoy.
The Baltimore and Chic, the citv's great
road, is doing everything within the
scope OF its enormous resources to make
the celebration an lnprec cdented success.
Rates from all stations or its most extern
sive system have been put way down, 70
half the ordinary fare in feet, and the de-
tails perfected for carrying, with perfect
satisfaction, all who may come, no matter
what the number,
The Oriole in Baltimore this wear is in
decd to be a big thing, and those who en-
Joy the proverbial hospitality of the Mon
umental City upon the memorable occa
sion will never regret it..

WATERING railroad stock is an art which
has nowhere been carried to greater per-
lection than in this country. One OF the
bright example of this species of finan-
ciering Tor thieving) is that of the Missouri
Pacific. The road was sold to Jay Gould
for IS, 600, 600, and is now ''papcced" for
not less than 500, 600, 900 of stocks and
bonds. The East Tennessee road is about
to add SIC. 600, 600 new stock, making in
all $1O9, 100000 or more than twice as
much as the road cost to build. The in
tercsting features of this process to the
people, is the fact that out Of them must
be gotten the dividends on all this Water
ed stock. Rerietc.

MORE useless silver dollars and no place
to put them is the burden of tho cry that
comes up from the Treasury Department
at Washington. New vaults ara about to
be constructed ut a cost Of S1G0,0G0 in
which to store the dollars that will not
circulate. As there are already upwards
of about FIVE thousand tons of the idle
coins piled up in the various government
vaults it is about time to stop tie folly Of
coming money that nobody wants and
stop the useless expenditure for vaults to
keep the useless stuff away from the
thieves. Congress should repeal the sill
yer act the very first day of its session.
