A GEOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.
Prof Alonzo Phelps Comprehen-
sive History of the Northwest.

The well-known publishing house of
Ticknor, Field & Co., Boston, Mass,
have in process of preparation a full
and comprehensive history of the state
of Minnesota and adjoining territory.
The work will form five elegant qual TO
volumes, handsomely bound in full
morocco.
The best literary talent and scholar
ship of the Northwestern cooperation
with the chief editor. Prof. Alonzo
Phelps, A. Mare engaged in the
work. The method adopted by Prof.
Phelps in the arrangement of this work
is the same method he employed i'll his
History of the Pacific StateS"-a work
consisting of three quarto volumes.
Instead of giving an account in labor
iouS detail of all the events that have
occurred from time to time in the growth
of the state, he has combined biography
with history, grouping together the
most striking and picturesque features
that have distinguished the early and
more heroic period of Minnesota piO-
neer life, thus illustrating each import
ant stage in the states progress and de-
velopment.
As biography is the basis of history,
this method exhibits the political, social,
religious and intellectual condition of
the people at every period of the states
existence. Among the many excellent
Illustrations of the work is included
fine collection of steel-engraved por-
traits of the representative men of the
Northwest.
The professor says since then there
has been no literary connection between
him and Rev. Edward ID. Neill, unless
it be the squibbs which, from time to
time, MIR. Neill caused to be inserted in
the dailies. these rejecting upon the
heartlesSness of Prof. Phelps, because
he declined to advance $3.50 to Rev. Mr..
Neill before he had earned it.
Prof. Phelps, chief editor of the bio
graphical history of the Northwest,
says he arranged with Rev. DIR. Edward
ID. Neill, of the Reformed Episcopal
church, to assist him in the prosecution
of the work. Subsequently the rev.
erend gentleman, in violation of the
mutual agreement, peremptOrily de-
manded an advance of $3.50 on the obi
CATION given him for future work. This
demand was summarily rejected.

OUR STREET LAMENTATIONS

One never grows tired of the fairy
land appearance these street illumina-
tions present. The crowds who thrOnged
the streets last night to witness the first
illumination of the State Fair season
were positive in the opinion that it eX-
ceeded in beauty anything that had
heretofore been seen. All of them have
been beautiful enough, for that matter.
President CLEVELAND and his fair wife
were enthusiastic in their admiration
of the brilliant scene our streets pre-
scented on the night of their reception.
Cardinal GIBBONS declared that it sur
passed all the Illuminating displays he
had ever seen in foreign lands. And
thus from all quarters, and from the
highest sources, comes the universal
testimony to the superiority of our street
Examinations.
In the eXultation of pride we expert
ence over our street illuminatiOns, it is
but Just that we should remember the
one person to whom more than to any
other, or to all others. we are indebted
for this, as well as for many other eXhi-
billions of public-spiritedness. We refer
to WILLIAM a. VAN SLYKE, the most
serviceable man the city ever had. Mr..
VAN SIYKE has been genuine bene-
factor to st. Paul. He has a genius for
planning and experimenting public
improvements, and being blessed with
a most unselfish spirit, his services are
always at the disposal OF the public.

THE REASON FOR 1T.

The Philadelphia Press has discov-
cred, as it imagines, a great campaign
fact. 1t is this: The Democrats have
paid out during the last four years
S95. 303.O 53 more than the Republicans
did in the previous four years. That is
true. Pension bills calling for very
large amounts have been passed. And
if the S70,0OO.O00 BLAIR bill, and the
s10O,OOO,OO0 dependent pension bill, and
the fOrti6cation bill, and good many
other Republican jobs had passed into
laws. the amount would have been
swollen into still larger figures. These
Jobs are bred in congress from the sur
plus in the treasury as prOfusely as a
dead carcass breeds maggOtS. In order
to get rid of these Republican in
trigues to squander the money of the
people, the Democrats propose to get
rid of the surplus. That is one of the
reasons why the country demands
lesSened taxation. And it is very good
reason, too.

The Republican Leaders Don't
Know What to Do With
NePpiam.
His Record a Burden That
Weighs Upon Their
Shoulders.
The State Central Committee
Will Be Selected This
Week.
aDunnell'S Failure to Do His
i Duty When in Con-
greSs.

The Merriam managers are in a di-
lemma, and at sea as to when to COM
mence their campaign. Having NOM
mated their candidate they have sud-
denly discovered these dangerous flaws
in his political value:
He was not the popular choice, and IS
not now.
He has no knowledge of the tariff is
sue, and cannot debate it.
His platform is for high taxes, and the
voters are demanding low taxes.
He was pledged to vote for low Ii
cense in 1888 anG did so, and in 1886 left
the house rather than vote for high Ii
cense.
The German and low tariff wing of
his party decline to support him or his
platform.
The McGill wing refuse to take any
active part in the campaign.
Such a situation demands prompt ac-
ton, but the Merriam leaders stand as
if paralyZed, and the temporary en-
thuSiasm that buOyed their nominee up
has passed.
Their state central committee will be
appointed by Wednesday, but what to
do with it is question they have rot
yet settled. To tell the truth, the Mer-
riam men have suddenly found them
selves forced on the defensive. They
are compelled to defend the manner Of
their candidates nomination; the plat
form he stands upon, and his past pub
lie record.
The offensive is with the Democrats,
and they can keep it so if they
choose to.

"HAS LOTS OF MONEY. "

In an interview with the Chicago
Times Yesterday Judge COLLINS. of the
supreme court of this state, admits the
unpopularity of Mr.. MERRIAM's nOmi-
nation, saying that it is offensive to the
farmers, and to the German population
particularly. And yet he comforts
himself with the belief that MERRIAM
will pull through, because. as the judge
expresses it, he has lots of money.
Coming, as it does, from a gentleman
who occupies place on the supreme
bench of the state, and candidate for
reelection on the same ticket with Mr..
MERRIAM, Judge COLLINS utterances
have a special significance.
''MERRIAM has lots of money"
Those ale the words Judge COLLINS
used.
Has it come to this in the great state
of Minnesota. that none but million
aire can hold office?
That if a man is poor he has no show
for public station? That if he is rich he
can be candidate in defiance of public
sentiment and rely solely for success
upon his bank account?
Is it come to pass that because man
has the means to buy nomination he
can depend upon his ability to purchase
the voters of an entire state?
The answer to these questions will be
given in November.

STATE FAIR OPENING.

The State Fair opened auspiciously
yesterday. The weather couldn't have
been better if it had been made to
order. The displays exceed every
thing within the thirteen years history
of the State Fair association. and the
attendance was unusually large for the
day. The only difficulty encountered
by the directors of the association was
in furnishing space, particularly in
providing room for the live stock. 1t
was thought when the additional build
ings were put up last year there would
be ample room for all the purposes of
the association for some time to come.
/ 1t is. therefore, matter of congratula-
ton that this years exhibit is SO far
beyond the expectations of the mana
gers. The experience of the last two
years has demonstrated to live stock
dealers throughout the Northwest that
the advantages offered by the Minnesota
State Fair are superior to every other.
The best cattle and horses are exhibited
here, and more of them than elsewhere;
and as q result those who are interested
in the live stock business, either as
buyers or sellers, from all parts of the
country, make it point to attend our
State Fairs.

MADE THEM VINCE.
Mr.. Scheffer Accidentally Trod on
COrns.

SOFnS.
Shortly after the nomination of Mer-
riam, Senator Buck and E. G. Long met
Albert Scheffer and commented upon
his happy appearance.
''Oh well, gentlemen" replied Mr..
Scheffer, you ought to happy, too. l
suppose you have received your hard
earned pelf."
Both gentlemen turned away without
further remark to him. Just after this
he met George johnson, of WatOnwan,
a delegate to the state convention. and
the one who asked Mr.. Scheffer whether
or no he would support the nominee.
Said Mr.. Schetfer:
"Well. you asked me question. Did
you make any money by it?''
Johnson flushed, looked embarrassed,
and finally demanded that Mr.. Scheffer
withdraw the question.
'Take nothing back" said Mr.. Schef-
fer. Il only asked you if you made
anything by it,
Johnson was wrathy, and subse-
quently, when it was published that
delegate in the convention had been
offered money to vote for Merriam, he
went to Schetfer with the assertion that
his managers had tried to buy votes.
"If they did," replied Scheffer, 81 de-
mand that you publish their names and
expose the whole deal"
This johnson declined to do, and even
would not name the parties he said were
accused of buying votes for other than
Merriam.
1t now transpires that Big Stone and
Traverse counties ceased to vote for
Scheffer after the second ballot, and
that on the last ballot three votes from
Otter Tail were given to Merriam.

We believe that these trusts are the
natural offspring of a market artifcially
restricted; that an inordinately high
tariff, besides furnishing the temptation
for their existence, enlarges the limit
within which they may operate against
the people, and thus increases the eX-
tent of their power for wr0ngdOing.
With an unalterable hatred of all such
schemes we count the checking of their
baleful operations among the good re-
suits promised by revenue reform.
While we cannot avoid partisan misrep-
resentatiOn, our position upon the ques-
ton of revenue reform should be so
plainly stated as to admit of no misun-
Outstanding. We have entered upon
10 crusade of free trade. The
reform we seek to inangurate is pred
icated upon the utmost care for eStab-
lished industries and enterprises,
jealous regard for the interests of
American labor, and a sincere desire to
relieve the country from the injustice
and danger of Il condition which threat
ems evil to all the people of the land.
We are dealing with no imaginary
danger. Its existence has been repeat
eddy confessed by all political parties,
and pledges of a remedy have been
made Oh all sides. Yet. when in the legis-
latiye body where, under the constitution,
remedial measures applicable to this
subject must originate, the Democratic
majority were attempting with extreme
moderation to redeem the pledge COM
mon to both parties, they were met by
determined opposition and obstruction,
and, the minority refusing to cooperate
in the house of representatives, or pro-
pose another remedy, have RENTED the
redemption of their party pledge to the
doubtful power of the senate.-Grover
Cleveland's Letter of Acceptance.

Trouble in the Ranks.

Chicago Times.
Judge COLLINS, of the Minnesota su-
preme court, said at the Grand Pacific
last night that there was considerable
excitement in Minnesota over the recent
nominations. There is a good deal of
'cusSing' among the Republicans, must
admit. The friends of Gov. MCGILL
are sore because he was not given a
second term. Then there are the friends
of GILMAN and SCHEFFER, who are
sore. OF course, it is too far from cleo
ton time to tell what turn things may
take, but it looks now as if the friends
of all these three would cut MERRIAM
badly. The Germans and the Farmers
alliance are dissatisfied. | do not think
they mean to injure MERRIAM enough
10 beat him, but to reduce his majority
so low that it will iniure all his future
prospects. But in doing this there is
danger of defeating him. On the other
hand, MERRIAM has lots of money, and
is distinctively. the nominee of the
young and hustling element of the
party. He is popular socially, and has
good executive ability in organization"

a HEALTHY WARRIOR,

The solicltude manifested by the Re-
publican press concerning Judge THUR
MANS health bears the evidence of a
strained quality. The Old Roman is
not half so infrm as they would like
him to be. The remarkable vigor and
vitality the old gentleman is displaying
in the way he gets around over the
country and is knocking the spots out
of the protection vagary is really what
worries the Republicans. They found
a mOmentary comfort in that little spell
of cholera morb2s which Frustrated
Judge THURMAN in New York, but it
was only momentary. The next day
the Old Roman was ont in full armor,
and has been at the front of the battle
ever since. The fact is that Judge
THURMAN is distresSinglJ healthy, so
far as the interests of the Republican
party are concerned.
