demonstrates as much as anything his en-
inent fitness for the place to which he
aspires. A man endowed with such abili
ties, with power to control men, to molify
their hatreds, negative the effects of their
passions, change enemies into friends and
warm supporters, must be qualified to ad-
minister the affairs of government with
rare ability and success. Mr.. Tilden has
demonstrated his capacity in this direc-

succeeded during his incumbency of
the gubernatorial Office of New York,
in saving the state millions of dollars

W hose good effects are yet visible IN every

Chicago Alarmed at the Rapid Strides
Being Made Here in the Wholesale
Trade.
The Chicago Tribune sounds the key
note of the alarm felt in that city in the
following head lines to an article:
''St. Paul VS.. Chicago. Why the little
city up north cannot capture the Montana
trade
The article then proceeds to reply to the
arguments put forth in behalf of st.
Paul as point for the trade
of the Northern Pacific region. The claim
set ferth in behalf of st. Paul is: For pur-
poses of shipci in freight st. Paul is from
three to six days nearer to them than
Chicago. In the second place, owing to
competition of the lakes with the railroads
and owing to his shipping such large
amounts of goods at time, the merchant
obtains special freight rates between Chi
cago and St. Paul, which these western
dealers do not get the advantage of if they
deal directly with Chicago. In the THIRD
place, the st. Paul merchant can buy
cheaper than the western dealer, because
he buys larger amounts.
In reply the Tribune gives the following
| interviews:
Mr.. E. NJ. Phelps, of the firm of Phelps
Dodge d Palmer, was questioned on. tn,
subject and said: 'There is nothing at al
in this article, especially as regards Gu
business. The price of goods is not deter
mined by the length of time they are o,
the road. \ few days more or less i
nothing to the western purchaser, if he i
getting the goods cheaper. Neither doe
the freight between here and st. Paul Gu
any figure, least of all with shoe dealers
because shoes are comparatively light ant
the freight on them is not much anyway
What makes manufactured goods dear o
cheap is the quantity manufactured an
the facilities for manufacturing them
Now, it is recognized fact that, outsld
of Boston, Chicago is the greatest sho
market in the country. The leather, tn
bark, the labor, and everything that i
needed are so abundant here, and the quar
titles manufactured are so great, that it j
absurd to suppose that st. Paul can eve
offer such inducements as Chicago can t
dealers from the west or from anYwher
else"

This place, which is destined to Se the
Minneapolis of northern Minnesota. and
Dakota, has just begun TO come into ne-
tice. One year ago, it was almost az
heard of. To-day it .i5 growing town
of some six or eight hundred people, CAPT
talists from every part OF the country are
coming in seeking Investments, new build
ings are going up in every direction, ar
ten thousand dollar hotel has just been
completed and opened, and several great
mill enterprises are projected.
The town of Red Lake Falls is at the
junction of the Clearwater and Red Lake
rivers. For two miles above the town
both rivers plunge down in constant
succession of cascades and rapids, and for
mile below the junction of the two the
main river goes tumbling down in the
same fashion. Engineers estimate that
the aggregate water power thus furnished
is fully as great as that of st. Anthony's
Falls at Minneapolis. It is really beyond
computation, a few feet of cutting any
where affording thousand horse power.
There is enough to run all the saw mills and
-four mills necessary to supply the whole
northwest withlumber and breaGstuffs.
The Clearwater and Red Lake rivers
drain the whole vast Red Lake reservation
! of 100000 acres, containing over t,900,-
! 900 acres of the finest pine timber left
| in the United States. l. is estimated that
| the pine on this reservation is worth from
! $150,000O00 to $200,00O.00O, and every
| stick of it must come down these two
| rivers. and pass through the hands Of the
| fortunate citizens of the falls.
| The country for hundreds of miles,
north, south and west Of the town, is rich
and beautiful, embracing as fine grain
growing land as ever the sun shone on. It.
will furnish wheat for & score of great
mills like the Piilsbury and Washburn AS.
The old town was situated in a lowy
rough fat, between the two rivers, but
since the railroad surveys have shown that
it will be impossible for the roads TO get
into that locality new aud fourishing
town has sprang up south of the Clear
water, and extending down below
the juoction of the rivers.
Two railroads are being pushed
into the place, one from Brainerd and the.
other from Duluth. Both companies have
bought land adjoining the new town, and
their survey for a crossing and bridge is,
just below the main falls of the united
river, about a mile below the junction of
the Red lake and Clearwater. The elegant
new hotel is IL this new town, and in the
! hands of pushing men, there will soon be
a big and prosperous city on the south side
of the Clearwater and along the main
falls. Set 1t down that new Minneapolis
is springing up in this great region, and
its name is Red Lake Falls. Rev. Father
Champagne, j. B. Dow, A. c. Sheldon, Col.
P. Donan, and other we'll known gentlemen,
control the town site and the water power,
and are going to boom it for all it is worth.

The annual fairs for which Minneapolis
has become famous have heretofore been
conducted by Col. VIM. S. King, and the
impression has prevailed that it was his
we'll known pluck, energy and ability which
made them a success. The facts in the
case are that while great credit was due
Mr.. King, it was the people of Minneapolis
who in reality made the annual fairs sue
cessful. When Mr.. King announced that
ne could not manage the fair this season.
many supposed that the enterprise would
be abandoned, but few of the business
men took hold with Chas. b. Clarke, the
experienced secretary, and the fair which
is to be held next week promises to eclipse

The opposition to the denomination of
Mr.. Tilden for the presidency in 1884
seems to have subsided as far as New York
is concerned. At Saratoga, which is at
this season the center of political activity,
there is great deal of gossip about E'the
old ticket" and it is universally conceded
that if Mr.. Tilden wants the nomination
ne can have it unopposed, and furthermore
that there is no power on earth that can
prevent his election if nominated. A strong
and apparently successful effort is being
made to secure harmony between the sew
eral factions of the party, and even Mr..
Kelly and the Tammany hall sachems are
actively at work in the effort to bring
about the desired result.
The Republican journals, of course, take
note of all this, and attribute the apparent
activity of the Democracy of the Empire
state to the Vaccinations of Mr..
Tilden and his aides. His
hand is seen, they assert, only
inferentially, but the feeling manifested is
nevertheless the result of his schemes to
further his own presidential aspirations
They accuse him of having offered accept
able terms to Tammnay hall-of bartering
promises for support, and silencing oppo-
sition by threats. This is to very great
extent mere suppositio1, and is not based
on more than a grain or two of fact. But

Inhabitants. .

The above table contains IGany sugges-
tive facts. Thus we find that the increase
of the population from 1850 to 1860 was
nearly 1000 per cent. Perhaps no other
city in the Union showed such a steady,
solid and rapid growth. In 1857, how
ever, occurred the disastrous financial
panic which checked immigration, and for
three or four years the population scarcely
increased. just as it began to recover
from that depression the rebellion broke
out, followed by the Sioux war, all of
which tended to discourage and retard the
growth of the city, so that from
1860 to 1866 the increase was only
about $500. In the latter, however, with
the return of peace and prosperity to our
country, the population again began to
advance quite rapidly, and from 1865 to
1870 showed the substantial gain of 1000.
But the growth during the past three years
has been the most rapid since 1860. In
1880, when the United States census
returns showed St. Paul to have popula-
tion of 41,498, the directory contained
16,399 names, while the present edition
contains 35,351 names, an increas of 49,
952 names for the directory in three years.
These figures are not obtained from an
So rapid had been the increase last year
that some of our more conservative citi-
zens were hardly prepared for the directo-
ry announcement of 1885 inhabitants,
but subsequent data and estimates fully
sustained those figures.
The total number of names in the di-
rectory this year is 35,3 ,351, an increase over
last year of 5,017. In the directory esti-
of, LOT r az
Cleveland, Buffalo, and Kansas City the
total number of names is multiplied by
81; at Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Toledo,
Denver and others by 5. Taking the
multiple of 215 which we have always
used, and which it will be seen is lower
than is used in any other city, and multi
plying it by the total number OF names,
gives st. Paul population of 00,37S.
The lowest multiplier USED by any of the
above named cities would give st. Paul a
population of 106,053. But we give the
total number of names in the directory
and the multi ipliers used in other cities and
leave it to our mathematicians, statis-
ticians and others to make the computa-
tions, deductions, etc.
But whatever may be thought Of the
directory estimate of population, the in

exact deductions can be made. Here is

immense amount of trade to Chicago, and
st. Paul wishes to intercept it. But the
reasoning of the article has no force. The
fact that st. Paul is three days nearer to
Montana is nothing to Montana mer-
chant. What he wants is cheap goods. It
is true that the st. Paul house may have
slight advantage in respect of freights
between here and st. Paul over the Chica-
go house, but that bears no comparison
with the advantage the Chicago house has
through the large amount of busi-
ness done here. There is not more
than $7.000,000 worth of dry goods
sold in st. Paul in year, while either
our house or Marshall Fields sells three
times as much. The result is that you can
buy staple dry goods as cheap in st. Paul
as you can here, but regular goods and no.
tions are cheaper here. If it we're not so
We would not be selling large amounts of
dry goods to the st. Paul merchants them
selves, as we are. The Montana merchants
cannot find the assortment they want in
st. Paul"
Mr.. A. A. Sprague, of the firm of
Sprague, Warner & Co., said "The fact
that the Chicago grocery houses sell large
amounts of groceries in st. Paul Is proof
Of itself that Chicago is the cheaper
market. It's true the St. Paul grocers get
special rates from the railroad companies
on freight between here and st. Paul, but
the Montana dealer can get
special rates also without any
trouble. Then the Chicago grocer
buys so much more largely than the st.
Paul grocer in the first markets that he
buys cheaper, and this is especially true of
staples. Moreover, there is a sort of agree
ment at the east that the goods shall be
sold cheaper to the Chicago merchants
than to any others. It is called at the
| east ''the dumping ground" There is
here also an immense amount of consign-
| ed goods and surplus goods which drag
down prices, and which are never found In
small! place like St. Paul. So that [ can
see no force il the article at all. ! am
sure no Chicago grocer ever thought of St
Paul as rival applicant for the western
| trade"
Mr.. L. B. Bane, of the firm Of Clement
Bane & Co., said: ''What the article says
| about readymade clothing in particular
has no weight. Labor is just as cheap
and just as good in Chicago rs 1t is in St
Paul. Even if what it says about freight
rates between here and st. Paul were trus
which do not admit, that advantage is
more than counterbalanced by the vol
ume of business done here. I do not sup
