Charles Dudley Warner is "A graphic
and entertaining writer, keen observer,
and shrewd commentator upon what ne
has observed. Mr.. Warner contributes
to the current number of Hdrp3r'S Nag
dzinc an article upon the South, which
is of the highest value, embodying as 1t
does, the opinions, as well us the obSerVa-
tions of a man so admirably fitted to
iudpe of the state of things in that sec
ton of the country. Mr.. Warner in re-
cent trim through the South, talked with
all classes of people, visited various rep
resentative sections of the South aud en-
deavored in every possible way to get at
the actual sentiment of each section to-
ward the North and the government. His
conclusion, briefly stated in his own
words, is that For the past ten years
there has been growing in this country n
stronger feeling of nationalty-a distinct
American consciousness-and nowhere
else does it develop so rapidly of late as in
the South. feel sure that Louisiana for
instance, was never in Its whole history,
from the day of the Jefferson purchase,
so consciously loyal to the United States
as to-day"
If this were the testimony of Il single
man. no matter how valuable his opinion,
it might not be safe to accept 1t without
question But Mr.. Warner only voices
the testimony of others who have investl'
gated the state of feeling among the
Southern people. 1t is the almost unani-
nous testimony of the Southern press, of
both parties 1t is the testimony of North
ern people, who have recently visited the
South in unusual numbers ; and it is also
the unsolicited, spontaneous TESTIMONY of
Southern people themselves, who have not
hesitated to declare their affection fol
and loyalty to our now reunited land, II
any particular and decisive expression OF
this feeling is called for, it could be shown
in the recent universal expression of SCR
row and sympathy from the people of the
South at the death of the great captain
of the Northern forces, General Grant.
Mr.. Warner says that there is now hard
ly any following in the South for The
demagogues who are trying to fan the ole
flame of discord into life again. The wa
is over, and its issues are a thing of tn,
past. \ new generation is springing up
to whom the events of that great struggle
are history rather than experience. TIL,
present generation sees plainly that thu
prosperity of the South depends upon it
loyalty to the Union. Friendly relations
between the two sections then are absO
lutely necessary for the best good of each
They We're intended to form componen
parts OF the same great nation, and it !
only in union and sympathy that they cal
attain their highest possibilities. Tn
Southern people apparently realize thi
vital fact, and heartily desire that the bit
ter past should be forgiven and forgot

Lieutenant Danenhower, in a recently
prepared paper on the subject of polar ex-
plorations, gives it as his opinion, that fur
Their Arctic research with our present re-
sources is not advisable. He says: "Af-

The American Bar \ Association.

The American Bar Association has been
holding its eighth annual session at Sara
toga An unusually large attendance of
eminent lawyers from all parts of the
country is reported, and the meetings
have shown an increasing interest
in the association and its objects.
One aim of the Association is to give more
consistency and uniformity to the laws
and legal practice of the different States
a contamination devoutly to be wished
for a large part of the complications and
uncertainties of American law spring
from this lack of uniformity, both in the
laws of the various States and in their adj
ADMINISTRATION. Another laudable object of
the Association, and one which a body Of
lawyers would hardly be credited with
pursuing-is to make the methods of the
law simpler and cheaper. Ex-Governor
Stevenson of Kentucky, who presided at
the recent session of the Association, thus
summarized, in his address, the nature
and objects of the organization: ITO take
counsel as to how they can best advance
the science of enlightened jurisprudence,
promote the administration of justice, es-
tablish uniformity of legislation in the
States, preserve judicial purity and indie
pendence, expand professional erudition,
uphold the honor of the American bar
and encourage cordial intercourse among
the members of the legal fraternity, both
abroad aud at home In the fur
therance of these objects, all must
wish the Association all success. In the
general decrease in the amount of
law business, in the older portions of the
country, the temptations to lower the
standards of the profession have probably
increased, The profession, in some quar-
tiers, it can hardly be denied, has lost
caste, among the people. The lawyer is
too much regarded, and with too much
reason, as a man whose task it is to make
the worse appear the better reason" and
to rescue criminals from the penalties of
of the law, rather than to promote law,
order and justice among men. A society
whose object it is to counterfeit these tend
ences, deserves the cordial approval of
every reputable member of the legal
profession, and of honest citizens gener-
ally.

DRIFTING LOGS

Generals Neglect.

To be Looked After--The Surveyor
Generals Neglect.
At the meeting of the Lumbermen's ex-
change last evening" resolution was offered
by Col. H. l.. Gordon regulating the exchange
of drifting or estray logs. The resolution
begins with a preamble which states that
the manufacturing of lumber at and above
Minneapolis has grown to such proportions
that large numbers of logs yearly go astray
and are scaled to parties to whom they do
not belong. As the settlement betw cen
parties for such exchange is a source of
great expense and annoyance, it is agreed
that the parties signing appoint an agent
to have sole charge of the account of eX-
change logs, subject to appeal to board of
arbitration and appeal. The agent shall
ascertain from the office of the surveyor
general how much is due to each party and
at the end of the year call for settlement.
IA party feeling himself aggrieved may
within thirty days appeal to the board of
arbitrators, which shall meet at the Office
of the agent and determine concerning the
appeal Any person, firm or corporation re-
siding on the Mississippi river, at and above
the falls of st. Anthony, engaged in the
manufacture of lumber, may become party
to the agreement.
The resolution was amended so as to in
clude the lumbermen at ST. Paul; also to
provide that it shall not interfere with any
special agreements.
A. z. Lowering was elected to act as
agent of the association.
A committee consisting Of Messrs. Cor
don, Bray and Bassett was appoined to
send man up river to scale logs belonging
to Minneapolis parties, which are being
sawed there, as this is considered part of
his duties.

TO THE FAIR GROUNDS.
The Manitoba Railway Company
Makes a Proposition.

The committee from the council On rail-
question of crossing the tracks of the Man.
itoba railway to reach the state fair
grounds. r. G. Benton, attorney for the
Manitoba Railway company, appeared and
submitted proposition, based upon many
contingencies. If the city has legal right
of way across the tracks on Fifteenth
avenue southeast, the railway company Of
fers to tunnel the width of the right of way
for fortyfoOt roadway, and build the re-
tanning walls and bridges, the city to con-
struct the approaches. The width Of the
street or boulevard way to the fair grounds
is to be 100 feet, and the forty-foot
roadway was highly Objectionable to the
committee. Mr.. Benton stated that the
railway company still doubts the
city's rights and that the city will first be
compelled to establish the same. The cost
on the part of the railway company will be
about $40, 900 under the proposition and to
the city $1,000 if no retaining walls be
built for the approaches, and about So, 600
if the approaches are built. Mr.. Benton
contended that there is no need for retain
ing walls for the approaches, that the street
being more than twice as wide as the road
way of the tunnel, the banks at the sides of
the approaches will require no masonry
protection, as the slope that can be secured
will be ample protection. Another con-
tingency was that the city shall vacate the
Fourteenth avenue southeast crossing and
enter into all agreement that if it is ever
afterwards opened up, it must be done
solely at the expense of the city.
The questions involved in the proposition
provoked lengthy discussion and members
of the committee expressed their doubts
respecting the practicability of emitting the
retaining walls.

WATER BOARD.
Various Matters Considered at Yes
terdayss Meeting.

At the meeting of the water board yes
ceived from A. r. Kitchell and others in
regard to the payment OF money for con-
structng main ON Highland avenue,
amounting to about S7OO. and asking for
the return of the same, and was referred to
the committee on claims.
The committee on extensions reported
favorably upon the petition of r. G. Kalk-
hoff for register instead of meter to de-
termine the amount of water used to operate
his elevator in his block ON Third street
north. In this connection Engineer Wa
tiers suggested that all registers used in con-
nection with the mains should be provided
with air chambers, twelve feet in length
and four inches in diameter, to prevent too
sudden checks on the mains. The recon-
mendatien being incorporated in the report
of the committee it was adopted.
The committee Oh extension reported in
favor of laying a sX-inch main in Willow
street, between Harmon place and Four
teenth street, and an eight-inch main in
Twenty-ffth street from Minnehaha avenue
to REIMBURSEMENT avenue south. The pc
tition for main around Nicollet island
was referred to the city council with rec
ommendatiOn that condemnation proceed
ings be instituted to acquire right of way
for the .mains-the superintendent to des-
ignate the route to be followed.
A contract was awarded to John Gleason
& Co. for laying water main in Fifteenth
street from Spruce to Vine place.
1t was moved by Commissioner Andrews
that D. G. Brown be placed ON the pay
roll as engineer and that his salary be fixed
at SIS per month, but the matter was de-
ferred upon the motion Of Commissioner
Foote so that matters of like character
may be considered in connection Herewith.

SUMMER SPORTS.
Yacht Race at CalhOun-.TheM inne-
apOIis Gun Club.

The sailing race at Lake Calhoun, post
poned from week ago, came off yesterday
in the presence of large party of the
friends of the sailors. The wind was a
little north of west and was at times so
light as to make the race slow and uninter-
esting. The following boats were entered:
Bessie Belle by w. E. Lockwood, Kittie
Clyde by Ed Dingley, Peerless by o. H.
Kimball, Blackbird by Lea Moon, Racquette
by j. C. Penfield and Pearl by DR.. Cleve-
land. The distance was ten miles made by
covering triangle three times and the
prizes, first and second, handsome PEN
nant. The judges selected were Alex j.
Mullen, George r. Seaton and A. S. Ham,
mond. The Peerless and Racquette were
sloop rugged and the others cats, but as the
cats had longer keels it was considered a
stand off, so that no allowances were made.
A fair start was made, but the Blackbird
and Pearl made such a long reach
to beat up to the first buoy
as virtually to let them out of the race. The
Peerless and Belle had a closerac home on
the first turn, the Racquette close behind.
The latter, which runs like race-horse
when close hauled, passed both boats on
the second round, and in the third the

Rranded AS False.

The names of the members Of the cham
Der Of commerce who have been charged
with disreputable dealings in the correspond
ence of the Modern Miller, have not been
forthcoming. Secretary Sturtevant has ap-
piled to the paper and to the correspondent,
who is a clerk in the Office of S. S. Linton
g. Co., but could obtain neither names nor
details OF the crooked dealings referred to.
Under these circumstances he considers it
proper to brand those statements as false,
for the reason that if they can be proven
the chamber will take prompt action in the
premises, and is earnest in its desire to sift
the matter to the bottom. He says that it
is hardly possible that among 500 men all
are strictly honest, but he believes it the
duty of man who makes such serious
charges to come forward with his proofs, as
otherwise the only sensible conclusion is
that they were made out of malice and
without foundation in fact.

averred that the company feels perfectly
confident that the city has no possible
rights on. the crossing. Said he: ''Our
road was built long before there was street
there. If the city doubts it it can take
recourse to the lcourts just as soon as it
pleases, You can't do it any too soon to
suit us. We shall blockade the street next
week with freight cars and defy you"
''We can arrest you on criminal warrant

ALLEGED FRAUD.
A Man Who Fears He is a Victim of
Deception.

Edward FL. StOckman yesterday COM
menced suit in the district court against
David Olmsted, Mathew Gallagher and
Elijah S. Kelly, setting up the grounds of
his complaint as follows: May 25, 1885,
Gallagher and Olnsted each owned 219
shares of stock in the White Star Mica
company and represented to the plaintiff
that certain shares of stock could be pur-
chased of Michigan parties to give them
majority, and consequent control of the
management of the company. Thus con-
fiding the plaintiff appointed Olmsted his
agent and commissioned him to purchase
219 shares of the stock at price not to eX-
coed $1,000, and advanced $4,000 of the
amount to be so expended. AS security for
this advancement it was mutually agreed
that Olmstead should place in Gallagher's
hands certificate of the 219 shares owned
by him. If Olmstead purchased the stock
within fifteen days the certificate should be
returned to him. If he did not the certif-
cate should be sold to reimburse plaintiff
for the money advanced. June 4, OlmSted,
representing that he was able to consummate
a purchase, requested the plaintiff to exc
cute certain promiSSory notes amounting to
SIS, 900, and proposed that the plaintiff
should give a chattel mortgage upon the
210 shares owned by Olmsted, which were
in the possession of Gallagher, as security.
The plaintiff gave the notes and mortgage,
wherein Olmsted was named as mortgage.
1t is claimed that although the fifteen Gays
have elapsed, Olmsted has failed to make
the purchase and refuses to return the
sum of 50, 500 advanced or to deliver up
the mortgage or notes. 1t is further al
legged to be the belief of the plaintiff
that Olmsted wilfully deceived him and
never had any intention of purchasing the
stock, but pretending to go to Michigan
converted $500 of the money to his own
use and paid Gallagher $500 as compensa-
ton for helping him carry out the scheme
to defraud the plaintiff. The notes are in
the possession Of E. S. Kelly, who is also
made party to the suit, it being claimed
that he purchased them from Olmsted, al
though the plaintiff believes the transfer
was made without consideration, wherefore
it is asked that the court require Gallagher
to deliver up the certificates of stock and
that they be placed in the hands of a per-
son appointed by the court; that the notes
and mortgages be declared null and void,
and that plaintiff have judgment against
Olmsted for the SO, 500 advanced; also that
an injunction be issued to restrain Gal
lagher from disposing of the stock in his
possession.
