The first thought of benefit to this country
from war between England and Russia is that
IL would create Immediate demand for
American breadStufiS. But would it? Russia
and India are the two great rivals of the United
States in the worlds grain markets. and it is
possible that even war, such is imminent
would not cut off the grain supply from either.
The former does not now depend upon the COM
merce of the Black Sea, but can send her grain
by rail directly into Germany and western
Europe, while the grain from Iudia now reaches
Europe through the Suez canal. and even the
feeding of an army would hardly make great
difference in the products available for export
More profit to this country, in the event of a
war, may be looked for from orders for arms
and military stores, especially of meat products
and canned goods, than from breadstuffS, unless
the central European powers should become in
volved.

) The Union League club of New York has
evidently resolved not to part with its politi-
cal character. At a recent meeting resolu-
ton declaring that only those whose views &C
cord with those of the republican party as here
tofore expressed should be recommended for
admission was adopted, only 90 out of about
600 voting against it. Those who imagined
that under the influence of q democratic ad-
ministration this would simply become a social
club now see their mistake

A STAR special from Olympus states that Jul
piter Tonans is greatly disguised over the result
of his attack upon the Washington monument
on Wednesday 1t appears that the great
1hunderer meant to tee-totaly wipe out the
tall shaft that was pOking its platinum snout so
intrusively far into his realms, and launched
batch of his biggest thunderbolts against it in
Wednesdays storm, without the slightest effect.
And now all Olympus is in row. Gen. Mars
says il is all the fault of that old FOSSIL Secre-
tary Neptune, who is away behind the times in
forging ordnance and projectileS: and Neptune
retorts that the blame is all due to the bad
practice of the generals thunderbolt corps, who
are allowed to lOafabout the court instead of at
tending to their duties.
Meantime the monument stands. and Col.
Casey says it is going to stand, despite Jupiter
and all his forces.

Virtue, in addition to being its own reward,
Is often substantially rewarded otherwise The
cheap cab company of New York has just paid
its third semi-annual dividend, at the rate of
10 per cent per annum. 1t was thought for a
long time that New York hackman who
didn t rob his passengers of all they had would
starve to death. but the experience of cheap
fares in that city has demonstrated that this is
not so.

DIGEST.

President Cleveland presented his ini-
tial message to Congress Tuesday, and
has won the distinction Of presenting the
most lengthy document of the kind ever
laid before the national legislature. II
is quite M detailed III Ns review of all
matters needing the attention of our law
makers al any former one, but lacks the
straight forward, affirmative I'M of
similar production from an aggressive
man of Hickory" Jackson's make up,
nor Is il fraught with the originality and
candor of Lincoln, or the pointedness of
Grant. 1t is Il creditable message, quite
mechanical in its construction, and ex-
trcmeiy passive in tone, if not absolutely
negative. Tie impression one gets from
reading it thoughtfully is, that Mr..
Cleveland says, al know and believe
So and SO, and leave YOU Ia draw your
own differences, and act as you please
The message mirrors the man distinctly
il being self evident that he has studied
up many of the important questions,
recently, and steps forward 10 present
the knowledge gained, much us Il school
boy would recite Il newly learned lesson
which shows that he lacks II breadth ot
understanding of these issues. His main
redeeming trait, t~ireless industry, is cas-
lily d~iscernabic i'll every part of the pa
per, and the amount of labor put upon il
is creditable 10 the President. Its YER
bosity comes from his attempts To Civ,
the legislators a knowledge of existing
facts which each one of them ought e
be familiar with, and probably is; ant
from the fact that the language is NOR,
argumentative than suggestive. Iii,
message lacks weight because OF the ab
sence of well defined views on manl
questions, and will leave the members o
Congress in pretty much the same posi-
ton it found them, because of its medic
ere force, not having Sufficient monen
tum 10 sway that body perceptably
Measured 10y the standard of commonali
ties, it is a good message, Conscientious,
and sincerely compiled, and put forth il
Il spirit of thorough honesty of purpose
but when We compare it with the pro
auctions of some of Mr.. Cleveland'spre
decessors, and the achievements of on,
most brilliant men, it Is only ordinary
lacking brilliancy of thought and force o
logic. 1t displays Mr.. Cleveland as h,
is-industrious, well meaning, and desir
ing to do his best, but lacking in the
knowledge of national and i~nter-nationa
questions, and experience in matters O
state. With a judicious Congress, mat
tiers will be safely conducted, but tn
message will not figure very inhuenti
ally.

THE RAILROAD KING DEAD.

VIM. Ii. Vanderbilt dropped dead
suddenly last Tuesday afternoon, in his
private room, Mt home. while discussing
business matters with a fellow railway
magnate, Mr.. Garrett. He was in more
than ordinary spirits, and his physical
condition seemed to be better than il
had been for several months previously
He sat in an arm chair reclining for.

when his words showed a sort of cl,msi
ness, and soon became inarticulate
Mr.. Garrett noticed II partially convuls'
ed condition of the face, and then Mr.
Vanderbilt partially arose and Instant.
fell ~lifeless at his companions feet
Apoplcxy was the cause coming from
the sudden rupture ofa blood vessel a
the base of the brain. The family ply
sican expressed no surprise ut the re
suit, he knowing the constitution To b'
one subject to such Il catastrophe.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was too well known {,

He was u native of Staten Island and II
death was in his 65th year. He Ia,
eight children, four sons and four daugh
tiers, all grown up and married. Thu
deceased spent his early life in farming
and at the death ofhis father, Comodor
Vanderbilt, that ~gentleman's large for
tune fell into Williams hands
which he has greatly increased by skill

income has been estimated at $3.50 pc

WE WILL HAVE IT.

The action of tie Git, Coun,il lort
evening upon the street railway ordi
II insures 10 the city a luxury which
the marvellous development of MankatC
warrants. Messrs. w. VI. Farr and Jno
{. Noe are at the head of the enterprise
and will begin arrangements at once fol
laying the tracks early in the spring.
The streets specified in the ordinance
upon which these gentlemen may ope-
rate their lines are Front, Broad, Byron,
Plum, Hickory, Cherry, Center, Clark
and the street running to the Blue Earth
river known as the old territorial road
\ glance at the city map will shcw the
system to be sufficiently extensive to ac-
commodate the public for some time to
come. The company are required to
have at least one mile of road in opera
ton by the close of 1886, and all is to be
done inside of five years. The council
rescrves the right to fix the grade for
the tracks, and limit charges TO five
cent per single trip in N direction.
They also have the right to determine
the rate of speed and make usual police
regulations relative to the operation OF
the lines. The track across the slough
is to be laid at least 10 feet south of the
center of the road; and other regulations
are similar to those in vogue i'm other
cities.
The gentlemen behind this enterprise
are such as will make no delay in pro-
viding our people with this common
mode of travel and will also have all de-
tails arranged in first class order. They
anticipate having cars running in the
latter part of the summer next year.
The peculiar geographical position of
orr city makes u street railway doubly
needad its extreme length compelling
scores of business men to walk long dis
tances TO and from their business and
We rejoice that the project has at last
taken detini shape.

DISTRICT COURT.

During Friday and Saturday of last
week the attention of the court was taker
up with the trial of the cause of VIM. L.
Harlin VIZ. Geo. w. Monks. This action
with four others, is brought by young
Harlin, to ecover the value of certain
personal property which was taken by
the sheriff on an execution Issued against
the father, John Harlin. Young Harlin
claims that the property was his, while
the defense claim it belonged to the
father, and that young Harlin's title is Il
fraudulent one. The case is closely ron
tested and hard to determine, and the
jury after wrestling with it two days and
one night failed to agree, standing five to
seven. This makes the second Jury
which has failed to agree or this case.
Monday and Tuesday the case of State
VS.. Samuel +. and George j. keenan,, was
tried. The indictment was for man.
slaughter in the fourth degree, for the
killing of Willie Herbert. The circum-
stances of this case, it will be remember
ed, occurred at South Bend, on the night
of September Sd, 1884. Willie Herbert,
with two other young men, entered the
watermelon patch belonging TO the Kee-
nan boys on the Inflated night, and be-
ing discovered, wa fired upon by the
keenan's, and young Herbert was NOR
tally wounded in the right shoulder.
The defence claimed that they fired all
