LAST Monday, the eth inst. was OBJ
served all over the United States as u
workingmen's holiday, and reportslfrom
different points show that it was fully
identified and enjoyed by the laboring
classes. The laboring people of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and saltwater united in a
celebration at White Bear, where about
! 800 assembled and spent the day joy
ously. About the most wholesome
thought that occurs in connection with
this new departure in America, is that
the laboring man is no more down
trodden out-cast, and as long as he adj
heres to e common rules of respect
ability and good citizenship, he will be
honored and met with all due respect
by men of other circles, as was the case
last Monday, when they were given all
the rights and privileges to celebrate
that any citizen can have.

Canoeing is becoming so general a rec

THERE has not been gathering in the
northwest these many years that enlist
ed the attention of the people 80 thor
oughly as did the water ways conven-
ton which assembled i'm st. Paul last
Thursday and Friday. II was matter
of general interest because all the states
represented were equally involved as to
the matters to be considered, viz: the
improvement by the government of the
northwestern water ways. Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Montana and Dakota
were all represented, the number of
delegates aggregating $50. Thursday was
devoted to permanent organization and
the appointment of committees. On
Friday the committee on resolutions re-
ported, and their report embodied the
entire scope of the conventions work,
and the resolutions formulated by them
were adopted without a dissenting voice.
Briefly, the resolutions demand of the
government the improvement of the
Mississippi river from the falls of st.
Anthony to the Gulf. The improvement
of the Missouri to practical extent.
The enlargement of the Illinois and
Michigan canal, and its extension from
Hennepin on the Illinois river to Rock
Island on the Missouri. The improve
ment of the south St. Marie canal, the
Red river of the North, Fox, Chippewa,
and Wisconsin, in Wisconsin, and the
st. Croix and Minnesota rivers. At the
close of the convention committee con-
sisting of two from each of the states in
terested was chosen to present the mat
ter to congress in due time and form.
1t is demanded that appropria-
tons to the amount of $25, 600, 900 annu-
ally, be made for the improvements re-
CURED. A large number of distinguish
ed men were among the delegates, in
Guiding several senators and representa-
tives. The ball thus set to rolling will
he a matter of attraction at the next SEES
sion of congress and will afford the
northwestern representatives an oppor-
tunify for good hard work.

Carelessness in Regard to the Morals Of
Children.

Mary Il. Lathrop, President of Michi,
gan w. c. Il. IT,, stating the causes OF
drunkenness, enumerates az a first cause
the carelessness with regard to the NOR
ais of children. 1.-THE streets of towns
large and small, are crowded with boys
and girls whose freedom from restraint
is likely to prove their ruin. In a recent
report of the woman's prison of Massa'
chusetts, 1t appears that 80 per cent; OF
these criminal women come to their loss
through drink, and very large majority
begin to get their first appetite for liquor
between the ages of 10 and IL years, 10y
drinking cider and beer, at the solicita'
ton of older women. These traps are
everywhere for the unwary feet, and YET
parents let the younger children go be-
vond their care, thinking their very in
nocence safeguard against sin: Alas
how many find too late that childhood
may be despoiled. At fourteen comes
the danger line to youth. | have wished
