CHIT CHAT CORNER.

Among the visitors to the GLoBF tower
yesterday were most of the firemen of
Fargo and Moorhead who have taken
part in the tournament at Minneapolis.
The quota of the Continentals of Fargo
comprised Arthur Linn, the historian,
Capt. Cantieny, Billy Hart. Arthur Hill
ton. Con Keefe and Ole Peterson, all
jubilant over their victory. They have
word that Fargo will meet them with
band and ovation on their return to the
metropolis of the Red.

"Of all the mortgages filed during the
year ending July 81, 1885, says Capt.
M. J. Bell, register of deeds, ''only one
per cent of them have been foreclosed."
This makes a good showing for the
status of realty and financial markets
in the city. 1t is probably the lowest
record fol any one year, thus far.

81 believe we will carry the state"
said Capt. George Hays, as he looked
very thoughtful yesterday. Then he
added with little more emphasis:
1--WE can carry this state, and that will
give Cleveland 256 electoral votes"

Fancy Satan reproving sin, and yet
the spectacle is not half so homogeneous
as that of a coal merchant anxious that
customers should purchase supplies
when fuel could be obtained at its low
est price. Whatever be the circum-
stance. the fact is on record that a coal
firm have issued bill urging customers
to buy their winters coal at once. "Our
Judgment is that coal will be no lower,
but on the contrary go higher, and that.
too, in the very near future. We are
anxious to protect you so far as lies
within our power, and we advise you to
lose no time in placing your ORDER"

To a business man time is money,
and therefore should not be needleSsly
frittered away. The waste of time at
meetings attended by many public men
is lamentable. and is usually occasioned
by the non-attendance of some MEM
bers, making it impossible to secure a
quorum. An instance may be quoted
in the meeting of the park commission
ers yesterday. Only three gentlemen
attended, and after fruitleSsly waiting
half an hour the meeting had to adj
journ for want of another member to
make up the number by which the bust
ness of the board can alone be trans
acted.
1t is not only at meetings of public
hOhlnS ~ q nf l.,
wasted, but also at ordinary meetings
of political or social character. These
meetings are usually called for o'clock,
but the time when they are opened is
half an hour later. and in some eases
even an hour. This is a shameful
breach of faith with the public, and it
is wonderful to conceive that they
should so patiently bear it. Managers
should be given to understand that
when meetings are called for a certain
hour they should be held then OF not at
all People have the settlement of the
matter In their own hands, and those
who arrive at the meeting halls prompt
ly should not be made the scapegoats of
the late Corners.
