strong to gain from that body at least fair
consideration of our claims. There are those
who are earnest friends of the upper river
Improvement who do not think it would
be wise to ask for too much i'm the begin

eXorbitant at the outset, they argue that
we would at once place club in the hands
OF the opposition with which to kill our
project. BY OVERRIDING the thing. we might
make II worse than if we did nothing at

esty, 1t is intended that the riverway con-
yention should be modest in its demands,
especially at the beginning, and to increase
in iemerity as we continue 10 gain a finner
foOthold. On the other hand there are
those who assert that il is best for the con-
vention to show an aggressive front, and
having determined upon all it wants. to
go for il with bold stroke and ride down

pear our Minneapolis friends. If we were
sure of our strength. such a policy might be
best, as it would be the SpeedieSt. The first
thing, however, is 10 ascertain eur strength

on TIE RIGHT TRACK.

II is a matter of sincere congratulation
that our Minneapolis friends have ADAM
doned their talk about holding a separate
fair and are now earnestly at work in har-
mony with the citizens of ST. Paul in an
endeavOr Ia make the state fair a complete
Success The indications are that the COM
ing state fair is to be the greatest ever
held in the Northwest. The city of Mime
apolis has as much interest in il as any
other section of the state, and no feeling Of
jealousy should intervene TO deprive the
people of that city from realizing the bene
fits that will accrue to them by an active
participation in the fair. 1t is all right
that there should be generous emula-
ton between that city and st.
Paul in their efforts to contribute TO the
success of the exhibition, but there is not a
single reason why there should be jealousy
or pickering. AS matter of course the
people Of st. Paul and of Ramsey county
feel a natural pride in the enterprise be-
cause of the aid they gave it in the begin
ming, and of the contribution they made to
secure its location in their midst. At the
same time there is no disposition to shut out
any one else from enjoying its benefits, but
on the contrary we want 10 see the people
OF the whole state take hold Of il. for it is a
state fair. We stand ready at all times to
help and to do our part. and we desire that
every one else shall be inspired with the
same feeling.

Minneapolis and Saltwater and will prOba-
bly, go To Duluth before returning. In re-
gard 10 immigration Mr.. Adams said he was
not sufficiently well acquainted with the
business To say much about it, as that class
OF travel was in the hands of another pas
Senger agent. Immigration travel. Mr..
Adams states. is influenced by the encour-
agement received by foreigners from their
friends in this country, and the American
friends only encouraged immigration when
the crops were bOuntiful. Judging from the
reports of the crops in the Northwest this
season il is altogether probable that there
Will De considerable emigration To this
country this fall and next season. In re-
gard 10 emigrant rates Mr.. Adams SAYS that
no advance from the 81 rate from New
NOrk to Chicago has yet been contemplated.
The Pennsylvania at no time during this
season has had its facilities taxed for the
transportation of emigrantS. Mr.. Adams
SAID that the PENNSYLVANIA road could han
die the entire emigration To this country as
easily as the Manitoba road could handle
six excursion trains day from the union

A town must be pretty sick when circus
can't get into it. BARNUM'S circus was no
tilted the other day that it could not get
into Montreal because of the smallpox
scOTge. The theaters are closed, business
is at a standStill, and the excitement is so
great that ali public assemblages have been
forbidden. The theory that smallpox
thrived only in the coolest weather. when
the houses are closed up. is completely up
set by MOntrears experience. The scourge
could not have ragged with more fury in mid
winter than il is now doing i'm midsummer.
The Indifference with which it is regarded
in other cities, except so far as sympathy
goes manifeSts the security felt i'm vac
cimation. TO the fact that Mon
treal neglected this precautiOn the city
owes lis present suffering. Among the
Ignorant, and among some who are not ig-
norant there prevails an unaccomtable
prejudice against vaccination. 1t is often
found almost impossible to induce them TO
submit to the operation, and thus it is that
cities often do not take measures to guard
against an invasion of the plague until, as
in the case Of Montreal. il is too late. Vac
cinatiOn may be revolving to some minds,
but the evidence in support of its efficacy
is overwhelming. If the proper precautiOn
is taken to provide pure vaccine matter
there is no danger of disease following i'm its
train, and if the vaccination isproperly per-
formed there is no risk of life. As there is
no other method of dealing successfully
with the smallpox scourge, the health de-
partnent of every city should see that vac
cination is enforced.

WHAT MINNEAPoLIs WANTS.

The GLOBE publishes this morning n
plan that is being worked mp by the citizens
Of Minneapolis 10 have their delegates bring
before the riyerway convention to be held
in this city on the Sd of next month, pro
position to secure the improvement of the
river up to the falls of St. Anthony. 1t is
perfectly natural that our MINNEAPOLIS
friends should seek to secure the improve
ment they will ask for and there is no rea-
son why any one would desire 10 thwart
their purposes. The proposition, however.
involves a large expenditure of money, and
viii deserve careful consideration. The
time viii come, sooner or later, when the
matter will have to be considered by the
government. and it is altogether probable
that some time the improvement will
be made 1t is impossible now to
even conjecture what the convention
which meets here next month will do, or
what plan it will adopt to secure from con-
gress a recognition of the claims of the
upper river country TO a just share of the
appropriations. AS the matter now stands
the upper river is at a great disadvantage.
Through influences, which we have not yet
been able to successfully combat. the lower
river has succeeded in getting the bulk Of
the appropriations. We recognize the fact
that in the beginning there is a strong and
well-organiZed influence against us. We
are compelled to move cautiously and with
discretion to overcome that influence. The
purpose of the convention was to secure
concert of action among the friends of the

however the crop was disappointing. Mr.

ana the falling off from former estimates
was most marked. One field. which two

Murdered His Relatives,

Houston, Tex, Aug. 26.-The details
of a horrible series of murders committed at
Johnson City, BlancO county, an interior
town. on Monday. are furnished by citi-
zen of that place just arrived here. 1t APP
pears that the daughter of Al Locke. an
old resident, was recently discovered To be
in delicate condition, and it is alleged that
Lockie's relatives attributed To him the
crime of seducing her The matter proved
upon his mind and Monday he left home,
intending, as he averred, TO 20 TO John
Green's place to borrow a sum of money.
Green and his family were away. lie en-
tered the house and took Green's WincheS-
ter and returned to the residence of his
brother. Berry Locke. He then shot and
killed Berry and his (BerTy's) wife. a
neighbOr named John Nicholson rode up
just then. He forced Nicholson to go with
him TO Mr.. Stokes. He then shot and
killed Mr.. Stokes. There Nicholson was
lost sight Of. His horse was tied there
when found, and il is supposed he was also
killed. From there Locke went To his own
house and shot and cut the throat of Mrs.
Henry Locke. of Leano county. wife OF
his step-son. who was on visit TO him. He
also shot and killed there Mrs. Stokes. wife
of the Stokes he had killed just previous TO
the killing of Mrs. Henry Locke. Then he
killed his daughter. He then attempted to
kill his wife. but his cartridges being eX-
hauSted he could not fire another shot and
she escaped. Having failed TO catch and
kill his wife he cut his own throat, mounted
his horse and started in the direction of
johnson City. After riding few yards he
met Mrs. Brunswick, whom lac attacked
and into whom he plunged a knife, imtiict-
ing fatal wounds The murderer then rode
toward Johnson City, but was arrested
within two miles of il. He was still alive
at last accounts. With the exception, per-
hapS, of the murder and cremation of the
Lynch family near Hampstead some years
ago, this is the most horrible set of crimes
ever committed in this city. BY it about
twenty children are left orphans.

lie WANTS PEACE.

Gen. GRANTS dying prayer for peace
has been answered in one conspicuous in
stance. Capt. p. II. BOWLING. late Re
publican postmaster at Toledo, has aban-
doned his party in Ohio, because the plat
form endeavors TO revive sectional issues,
and announces his intention to support the
Democratic ticket. Whenever a political
party discards living and practical issues
and appeals to the most dangerous passions
and prejudices of the people it ought TO be
rebuked. Capt. DowLING's example is
likely TO be followed by other patriotic Re
publicans i'm the Buckeye state.

If they are there and the conditions are

shouldn't sleep, if they feel like it. Demo-
Gratis have good consciences and can sleep

Tor temporary mjunctions, arguments on
which Judge Couch ordered heard in Sep
