CHIT CHAT CORNER.

lican committee as one OF the orators to
stump the Northwest in the interest of
Harrison and Morton, was not relative
of the dead general, but was an officer
in the Union army. After the war
closed he was prominent official at
New Orleans, La, during the recon-
struction period, and when Gen. Grant
became president he appointed Gen.
Sheridan recorder of deeds at Washing
ton. AS stump speaker Gen. Sheridan
has few equals, and his fund of peril
nent stories on any subject are an in
eXhaustible mine of pleasure to his
audiences. He is StOcky-bullt lndi-
vidual, rather under the medium height,
and his broad, good-humored face fairly
beams when he is engaged in casual
conversation. a broad-brimmed black
SLOUGH hat is conspicuous in his make
up, and the people of Southern Mime
sofa, where he will fill his first engage
ments, will appreciate the speaker as
soon as he appears upon the platform.

Steps have been taken by leading
citizens who reside on st. Anthony
hill to give benefit ball for the widow
of the murdered policeman, Hansen.
Market hall has been secured, and 1t is
proposed that the affair shall take place
the latter part of the month. BY this
means handsome sum will doubtless
be realized for a worthy object, and
tickets will be placed on sale in few
days all over the city. Meanwhile there
are no new developments in the mys-
terry which wells the tragic end of
brave man, although the police have
been interchangeable in their efforts to
bring to justice the assassin of their as
sociate. If they cannot find the muir
derer, they will do all in their power to
help the widow, and will constitute
themselves board of canvasserS when
the tickets for the ball are issued.
w. NJ. Bushnell. who has charge of
the manufacturing department OF the
state fair, has addressed pertinent
circular to manufacturers of the state.
In it he points out that large proper
ton of the fair ground has been set
apart for manufacturing exhibits, and
that the space is at the disposal of the
manufacturers. He consequently urges
upon all. large and small, manufacture
ers to take advantage of the opportunity
afforded for displaying their goods;
otherwise the space may be devoted to
Eastern manufacturers, who are al
ready displaying keen interest to have
their manufactures on exhibition.

When the representatives of the Chi
cago roads held their meeting here last
week Mr.. Fisher, of the st. Paul IL Du-
1uth, attended by invitation. but did not
vote for the resolution to raise the
rates. He, however, submitted the
matter to President Hayes, who declined
to accept the proposition on the ground
that it would be against the interests of
the company to enter into an agreement
with the Chicago roads to advance rates
to st. Paul via Duluth and Chicago. as
the distance by his road from Duluth to
st. Paul is but $50 miles, while the av-
erage distance by the Chicago lines from
Chicago is $50 miles. The ST. Paul d
Duluth, therefore, will continue to act
independently in the matter of rates, as
heretofore.
In accordance with the provisions of
the swamp land grant act of 1860, pat
ent for "A, 1872 acres of land in the st.
Cloud district has been issued at Wash
ingtOn, conveying the land from the
United States to Minnesota Auditor
Braden received the document yester-
day and stated that the matter should
have been adjusted several years ago,
tbut red tape requirements caused the
delay. This is tardy act of justice, but
1T will inure to the benefit of the Star OF
the North when the land is put upon the
market, which will shortly be DONE
There has been a long controversy over
the patent, but the dispute has been
satisfactorily adjusted, and Minnesota
is ahead, as usual.

1t is peculiar fact that almost every
time man is arrested he considers he
has been imposed upon. An officer
rarely places a man under arrest but
what the prisoner or some persons who
are not interested in the affair, kick
about the matter and threaten to have
ahe officers star removed. Sensible
people generally like to have a police
man, no matter how bad other folks say
he is, within short radius of their
houses as protection to their property
at night, but if they see on officer ar
rest man who calls the officer all
kinds of names, and heaps abuse upon
him, they are only too willing to go be-
fore the chief or the mayor and make
complaint about it. Most officers IN St.
Paul, under the direction of an expert
enced and competent man like Chief
Clark, know their duty. If they ever
Dverstep the bounds, complaint is
sufficient, because there are few men Oh
the force who would not prefer fine Of
$50 to a lecture from the chief.

A. Poupeney-This year is not as good
for base ball as last year was. 1t makes
good deal of difference whether real
estate is booming or not. With two or
three hundred young fellows trading
and making money, base ball business
tiouriShes, and crowds attend the games.
Few of the clubs have done as well as
they did last year and the year before.
The st. Paul club has done better than
most of the others, and with good
weather will do still better for the re-
mainder of the season.
