GRANITE FALLS, Mimi, April T.
The heavy rain and warm sunshine Of
the past two days has caused slight
rise in the river at this point, with indi-
cations of further and greater rise
within a few days. The owners of the
water powers here became alarmed
and, as precautionary measure, broke
up the ice in their ponds with dynamite.

Mayor Smith Nominated.

Hon. William P. Murray with the
business-like manner characteristic of
the corporation attorney, nominated
Robert A. Smith for mayor, saying that
bob Smith" needed no recommended
ton from him. When the name Of Bob
Smith was uttered, a cheer went up
from delegates and On-lOOkerS Simulta
neously and mightily-a spontaneous,
lusty cheer that reached all over the
hall and made the hearts of everybody
swell in the enthusiasm. No truer teS-
timonial of the popularity of the mayor
and senator was needed.
A little break in the proceedings Just
at this point was made by John Fischer,
a delegate from the Ninth ward, and
one of the aldermanic candidates at
large of the WOrkingmen'S convention.
He proposed an amendment to permit
the committee from the Workingmen's
convention to be heard. Chairman
O'Brien frankly and clearly informed
him that in a parliamentary sense he
was out Of order as a nomination can
not be amended, but Mr.. Murray pre-
vented any friction by promptly with
drawing his nomination until the COM
mittee was heard. The convention adj
mitted the committee to the platform
then, and its chairman, r. B. Rice. of
the Fourth ward, read the list of candi-
dates nominated by the WOrkingmen's
convention Of Thursday night. James
Bedburg and Thomas Ii. McKone &C
companied Mr.. Rice to the platform.

SECRETARY sAYARD.

With the smoke of the battle slowly
lifting from the field one is ena-
bled to get a more Intelligent view
OF the situation and to discern more
clearly the actual results of the fight.
A prospect of the field through the
somewhat murky atmosphere that yet
envelopS it reveals the fact that it was
more essentially Secretary BAYARD'S
defeat than Mr.. CLEvELAND's. This
opinion is emphasized by the returns
from little Delaware, where for the first
time in the history of the state a Re-
publican legislature has been elected,
so as to make it impossible for Mr.. BAY
ARD to get back into public life.
A great many of the shrewdeSt
Democratic politicians made no con-
cealment of their opinions at the
beginning of the CIEyEfAAND adj
ministration that a great mistake had
been made by taking MI. BAYARD out
of the senate and putting him into the
state department. He had been emf
nently useful to his party in the senate.
but those who knew him best and UNI
derstood the bent of his political educa-
ton were satisfied that he was not the
man to handle delicate international
questions. The reason assigned for
this opinion was that Mr.. BAYARD
could. not be expected to view these
grave and important questions from
a purely American standpoint, be-
cause of his essentially arstocratic
ideas and training. His ability and
learning were conceded by all,
and no one ever questioned his
personal honesty. But Delaware is
the only locality in this country where
English ideas continued to prevail
through the first century of our national
existence. The BAYARD regime was as
purely typical of British aristocracy as
if it had been planted and grown on
British soil. The opinion that Presi-
dent CLEVELAND had made a mistake
in assigning Mr.. BAYARD to the chief
post in his cabinet was strengthened as
events passed by. and received its final
confirmation in the result Of the great
political contest which ended so dis
astrously to the CLEVELAND admins

NOT A NEW QUESTION.

The Conflict Between Texans and
Mexicans Over the Course Of the
Rio Grande Is the Breaking Out
ola Old Sore.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-It is learned
at the department of state that the con-
flict over the course of the Rio Grande
river at Ell Paso between the inhab-
itants of that place and the Mexican
dwellers at Paso Del Norte Oh the Oppo-
side of the river is not Il new question,
but that the matter has been the sub
ject of correspondence between the gov
ernments of Mexico and the United
States for the past two years. The first
complaint came from the MeXicans, and
was to the effect that the Ell PaSo Land
d improvement company had con-
shore of the river, which were re-
sulting in heavy erosion of the
Mexican bank. To prevent this the
Mexicans constructed series of wing
dams ON their side, which projected
slightly into the river and arrested the
process OF erosion there, but transferred
it, as it is asserted. by the Americans,
to the Texas side. The Texas auth0ri-
ties complained of this state of affairs,
and meanwhile the Mexicans retaliated
with charge that the Ell Paso water
supply pipe had been projected far
enough into the river to affect naviga-
ton. The matter is still under discus
sion between the two governments. The
treaty of 1884 forbids the construction
of works on either bank that may inter-
fere with navigation or change the
course of the river, so that the ques-
tons at issue are largely those of facts,
as to whether or not the operations on
either side have or will actually result
in interference with navigation or
erosion of the banks.

STARTLING STATISTICS.

The pastors of our st. Paul churches
must have been startled yesterday by
the figures which Secretary HoRToN, of
the Y. NJ. G. A., presented respecting the
number of Young men in this city who
are ehurcil-goers and who are not. Mr..
HORROR figures out that there are 25,-
600 young men in the city between the
ages of eighteen and thirty. OF this
number / $50 are members of evangeli-
cal churches. and 10000 are nom church.
goers. MI. HORTON took the pains to
have an actual count made of young
men attending church Oh certain
Sunday, and the total in attendance at
the fifty leading Evangelical churches
on that day was L450, while OH the pre-
ceding Saturday evening $500 young
men, by actual count. entered the eight
most prominent saloons in the city be-
tween the hours of and 10 O'clock.
While these statistics are probably
correct, and must be startling to church
people, still they can probably be du-
plicated in every city in this country
st. Paul is no worse in this respect than
other cities, and possibly not SO bad as
some. The moral of these statistics
lies in the inattention of church workers
to home work. Thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are an
nually collected for foreign missions,
and yet there is better missionary
ground right at home than there is in
India or Africa. 1t does seem that
church work in THESE days is an
anomaly, anyway. We have no desire
to speak disparagingly of the church
workers nor to discourage them from
using every eXertion in their good
work. But, taking the statistics which
Canon TAYLOR is furnishing re-
garding foreign mission work and
the statistics which Secretary HoR
TON furnishes concerning the lack
Of home mission work and putting
them together, we are forced to the con-
clusion that there is an immense deal
of wasted energy and misdirected effort
in the evangelical work of these times.
Is the power of the pulpit on the wane,
and if so, why is it 50? These are eues-
tons meriting the attention OF a people
who owe their present greatness and
prosperity to the influences of Christian
civilization
