CHICAGO has Washington park, so
named in honor of the Father of his
Country, and a clamor has arisen to
change the name to Grant Park and
the chief reason alleged is, that only a
short street of the city bears the name
of Grant, while long and prominent
one is known as Washington. Chicago
ought to be enterprising enough to add
Grant park to its domain, and thus
point with pride to its Washington
Lincoln and Grant parks, if indeed it
is the wisest to choose the names OF
men for such distinction.

THE MINNESOTA STAFF FAIR.

THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR. -
The grand opening and dedication of the
new permanent grounds of the Minnesota
State Agricultural society will take place
on September Z, s, 9, 10, II and II. The
work is progressing in the most satisfactory
manner and the greatest festival OF the
kind ever held in the northwest is assured.
An official announcement will be found in
this paper. It is expected that the people
of Minnesota will turn out en- masse to as
sist on this important and interesting occa-
sion. The society has now local habita-
ton and every citizen has a proprietorship
in the splendid grounds, which contain two
hundred acres, beautifully and convenient
ly located.
THE CENSUS OF TWO CITIES.
The long agony of the census returns
which has agitated the leading cities of
Minnesota-St Paul and Minneapolis
some mouths is over, the auditors of the re-
spective counties baving proceeded lin a
body'' to the secretary Of states office in
St. Paul and filed their returns. The official
figures proved to be as follows:
City of st. Paul. 1897
Townships in Ramsey county, includ-
ing White Bear village. 4,S31
Total for county. ZIG, ,22s
City of Minneapolis. .................1 .129,2 200
Townships in Hennepin county,. 1885
Total for county. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ..14S, 136
The census of 1880 gave St. Paul popu-
lation of Al, Alb, and Minneapolis 46,8S7. St.
Paul has increased 69, 924 in the five years,
an increasd of l6s per cent, oran average
of 33.7 per year. Minneapolis has increased
S23l3, an increase of 1865 per cent, or an
average of 35.1 per cent. a year. With the
counties the reverse is true Ramsey coun-
ty has increased 70,313, an increase Of 1853
per cent, or 81 per cent. year: while Hen
nepin county has increased 81, ,723, an in
crease Of 153 per cent, or an averaae CT "A
per cent.
And now the papers of the respective
cities are quarrelling over the result The
st. Paul papers say their account is square
and honest and that a resident can be pro-
euced for every name, while they allege
the fact that Minneapolis exceeds the
estimate produced by the usual multiple
applied to the city directory issued last
month, as evidence of fraud. They assert
that as the Minneapolis July directory
only had $50 more names than the st. Paul
directory issued the same month the legiti-
mate difference of population, applying the
~ multiple, should not exceed 1000 instead
of exceeding 1900. The Minneapolis pa
! pers treat the matter with great compla-
cency. They say that all relative figures,
such as school statistics, election returns,
building records, show that the population
given st. Paul is too high, but that all of
such statistics justify the full number given
to Minneapolis. In view of the fact that
the census figures give them over 1000 in
excess of ST. Paul, they propose to be gen.
erous and not make any serious fuss about
