Pioneer Press:-Chief Hubbard of
Chicago has imported bear cub from
Winnipeg, and the News says he will
add him to the force. It is feared that
the cub will asslmilate some of the bad
HABITS of rls brother patrolmen and
hug the saloons closer than his beat.
GLOBE: Some of the protection organs
have the facetl0us explanation Of the
Investment of British capital in this
country that it is due to the confidence
of the investors in the protective sys-
tenn. That spoils the standard Repub.
lican theory that the British supply the
means to d;ffuse free trade ideas in the
United States. Perhaps some have
heard illusions to the Golden club and
it's missionary efforts in this country.
Now it seems that they want to build
up protection. The campaign speeches
will have to be revised before they are
used again.
Star: The remarkable series of for
geries by young Minneapolis real
estate operator which have just come
to light constitute one Of the most
audaclous chapters of crime on record.
The forger claims that all the proceeds
of the forgeries were invested in real
estate at low valuation, and that if he
had been given time he could have sold
at profit and paid all the stolen money
back. Had the real estate market been
booming. this is probably what he
would have done. The young man was
raised right here in Minneapolis and
has always borne a. good reputation.
The episode shows how the temptation
to acquire sudden wealth is capable OF
developing dishonesty in the most un-
expected places, and that business men
CAM be too careful.
Tribune: We call attention to the
Exposition this morning. For five
months, through various phases of crop
prospects. disturbances in the indus
trial situation and flood of bear talk,
the managers of the Minneapolis Expo
siton have been persistentiY and in
dustriously at work in preparation for
the exhibition of 1889. There is a null
titude of details to be looked after in an
exposition of this character, but the
details have all been carefully antici-
pated and arranged. The work has
been going on SO quietly, however, it is
hardly surprising that there are some
among those not familiar with what
has been done who should be of the
opinion that nothing has been done.
The prospect really is that there will
be a better and more successful expo
sition than in any previous year. The
reports from the harvest fields now
coming in indicate that the yield will
surprise everybody, aud the product
Will be of the best quality.
Journal: The exposition will soon
open. and as yet no steps have been ):
taken to provide for the usual street IL
Elimination. Aren't we going TO have
any? And if we are, isn't it about time
some one was at work preparing for it2
The Nicollet avenue business men who
own the fixtures are willing to give
them to the city, although they cost
over $4,000, if the city will put them
up and paw for the illumination. The
business men say they think they have
done their share and unless the city
will take hold Of the matter there will
be no Illumination. This beautiful at
traction Of the Exposition season ought
not to be omitted. 1t is announced
that St. Paul will illuminate this year
as usual during the state fair. Mime
apolis owes it to herself to make herself
as attractive in appearance. as possible
during the Exposition while so many
people from abroad COME to VISIT her.
But it we are going to have any illumi-
nation tie city must do 1t, and not
waste any time in making unnecessary
motions about it, either,
is there anything can do for you?''
asked Mrs. Cumso tenderly, when her
husband was suffering from seasickness.
