The year 1889 vii! be long re-
membered as the most prolific of re-
cent years in terrible disasters Of all
kinds. No country on the globe has
been exempt from calamity. Europe
had many railroad wrecks, steamship
collisions, mine explosions and earth
quakes. In Asia, thousands persisted
in the Chinese floods, by the earth.
quakes in Japan and the plague in
Asia Minor. In Africa, outside Of
the ever present and increasing slave
trade, there were earthquakes and
foundations. South and Central
America suffered from terrible earth,
quakes. In North America the long
list of fires and wrecks is headed by
the Johnstown catastrophe. Most o!
the disasters in the U. s. were due tc
negligence, as shown at Johnstown
and not, rs in most other countries, tc
the commissions of nature. i.

Minneapolis Lumberman: TT

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
numbering railroads are likely tc
open up what will some day be one Of
the most attractive summer resorts in
Minnesota. Leech lake is a mag
nifcent body Of water-one of the
finest among the many fine lakes in
Minnesota. It will not be long before
it is reached by the Duluth 4 Winni,
peg railway, which will probably
touch its northern border, while the
logging railway being built by the
Northern Mill company, from Gull
Lake, nearly due north, will, probably
some day be absorbed by some system
of railway, and afford direct line
from the Northern Pacific to- lake on
the south. The forest flstness of
all this region is being invaded by the
railways, and it is only a question of
time when the summer tourist, seeking
for novelty will find more or less to
attract him to what is now the land Of
the Indian.

The Northern Pacific land depart.
ment was notified yesterday BY the
commissioner Of the general land
office that it would soon receive
patents for the lands in the second
indemnity limit i'll Minnesota,
These are the lands about which there
was so much controversy several years
ago. Secretary I.amar decided that
the company had no right to any
second indemnity limit nnder its
charter, and declared the lands
claimed therein by the company open
to settlement. This order was taken
advantage of by IA. large number Of
settlers, and caused the company
considerable trouble. Subsequently
Attorney General Garland reversed
this decision, and it is under this the
patents are to be issued.

Newspapers have queer way of
treating a presidents message. With
scarcely an exception, from the

govern their comments according to

according to the ability shown in the

newspapers show less judgment than
in discussing such documents. Let

MIR, SPEAKER REED.

I Pioneer Press: 1t was in the ex-
ercise Of a sound Judgment that the
Republican representatives in congress
yesterday made Mr.. Reed the caucus
nominee for The .speakership. The
result had already been foreshadowed
in the news dispatches, and it was
evident three days ago that, unless
something could be done to stop
changes to Reed TN the second ballot,
after complimentary obligations should
be discharged, he would be an easy
winner There have been, from the
first. but two candidates who had any
show Of success. The candidates.
Of Messrs. Cannon, Burrows and
Henderson were of the sort that look
rather to committee chairma*ships
than two ultimate success. The real
fight was between Reed and Mckinley.
1t is no secret that the sympathies Of
Northwestern Republicans in general
were with the former rather
than with the latter. Though
a Western man, and a man
whose great native ability has been
developed by patient study and long
public service, Mr.. Mckinley is not
magnetic and there was general
fear that he might not be liberal
enough on some of the great questions
to come before cogress. MIR Reed,
on the other hand, is: beyond a doubt,
the best equipped, ON the whole, of
all the candidates for the honor and
the respc visibility vested by the rules
of the house in the speakers office.
He is a large man, Intellectually as
we'll as physically. He has had
great parliamentary experience, and
is ready in action and speech. He is
known, too, and trusted by the best
men Of the party everywhere.
We can, Of course, expect that, in
the constitution of the important con-
mittees, he will give visible expression
to the fixed policy Of the Republican
party. But the Northwest expects
more than this. Our interests have
come to he singularly Identical with
those of New England. Industrial
development has brought to the latter
the more liberal views Of the traffic,
question that are indigenous to the
former, and the creation of new lines
Of traffic, giving US new outlet by
way of New England for through
business, has drawn closer the bonds
of union. We have reason to hope
that, in as far as the speaker can
direct the policy of the house, it will
be shaped in harmony with our de-
sires. These considerations, however,
are really secondary to the main
cause for congratulation which is that
the party Of the majority has made
no blunder in the first important
move of the session. It has sent its
best man to the front, and the only
objection to his elevation to the
speakcrship is the loss to the party's
fighting ranks by his absence from
the floor Of the house. 1t is to be
Mr.. Speaker Reed, and he will wear
his honors as worthily as he has won
them fairly.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Harrison's first message
was read to congress on Tuesday, and
is received with favor by Republicans
and disfavor. by Democrats. It
follows closely the declared principles
of the Republican party, and as that
course was expected and desired, there
is nothing sensational or surprising
in the document. All the public
questions are ably discussed, and the
recommendations he makes will
doubtless be adopted by congress.
In regard to the tariff question,
which was the all-impotant one in
the campaign that resulted in making
the government Republican, he
strongly endorses the principal ofpro-
lection to American industries. and
wisely urges the increase Of the free
list to include all articles of commerce
the importation of which will not
compete with any extensive industries
in this country. That is undoubtedly
what the people want, and congress
should carefully proceed to do its
duty in the matter.
