EX-President Cleveland is peculiar as
a fisherman. Not only does he possess
both patience and luck, but he has
gained remarkable skill in manipulate

feature OF his piscat0rial pursuits lies in
the fact that he is superstitious. He
never permits his left hand to rest in
front of his right on the rod. Further
more, he never expects to catch fish if
he has seen the new moon over his. left
shoulder the night before He was

UNTIMELY SUGGESTION.

Chicago feels so good over the success
of her pooling plan whereby the popu-
lation of all the surrounding country
has been maSsed in preparation for next
years census, she wants somebody to
follow her example. Consequently we
find in the Chicago Times the sugges-
ton that ''St. Paul and Minneapolis
should prepare for 1890 by pooling their
populations, combining in one great
city and becoming the commercial
metropolis of the farther Northwest"
The suggestion is received in the same
kindly spirit that it was rendered, but
we beg leave to assure our Chicago
friends that we are not afflicted with the
pooling craze such as they have down
there. Both st. Paul and Minneapolis
are willing to abide by an honest count.
Each city can show gain over the
census of 1880 that will make Chicago
sick, and they can do it without any of
the pooling business. The people of the
two cities are satisfied with the growth
of their respective municipalities, nor
are they jealous Of each others prog
lOSS' OulSluG VI TWO Ut luI60 news
paper men who keep up quarrel over
directory figures from force of habit,
there is no one in either city who has
moments concern about which city is
making the most rapid growth in popu-
lation. The fact is that in this rustling
community everybody is too busy to
waste time in engendering local jealous
les, and they have no patience with
those who fritter away time in such
foolish occupation. We do not pretend
to foretell what is in the womb of time;
but we do know that for present pur-
poses there is place on earth for each
of the Twin Cities, and that both are full
filling a grand destiny. When their
separate destinies are completed it will
be time enough to talk about municipal
union. In the meantime their business
interests will be closely enough identi-
fed, and the social bond between them
will be strong enough to make Chicago
weary, even with all of it's annexed
suburbs.

fclency OF the stock of goods kept by the

cles whose sale is Injurious to the
Indians; whether the prices charged are
reasonable: whether the schedule of prices
are displayed so that the Indians can be well
informed thereof; whether the trader sells
Intoxicating liquors under any disguise or
arms or liked ammunition, or trades with the
Indians for goods furnished them by the
government or any way violates the letter or
spirit OF the law; whether his store Is kept

upon the premises; and in general
whether the trader and his employees are
sober, respectable people, whose conduct

1T WAS FIRE-PROOF,

A gas we'll in Ontario not long since
caught fire, and all attempts to put 1t
out were ineffective. The burning gas
was estimated at eleven million cubic
feet day, and it caused such intense
heat as to battle all attempts to approach
it. The best engineers .uld devise no
way to affect it. The company offered
$1,000 to any one who would stop the
leak. Ayoung man finally struck upon
the idea of incasing himself in a suit of
ashes o; and walking into the fanes.
After several attempts he finally sue
ceeded. and turned off the gas. He
went through heat as intense, perhaps,
as that of the furnace of the three He
brews. and suffered no serious harm.
He was slightly Scorched and nearly
stifled for want Of air. but the protec-
ton was a success. The incident sug-
geSts that this remarkable material that
will not burn or conduct heat would be
useful for iremen. Lives might be
saved by its use.

USEFUL LESSON,

The Minneapolis forgery case would
Indicate that there is no limit to human
folly. The foolishness of the young
man who imagined that crime on so
gigantic scale could go undiscovered
is fully equaled by the conduct of the
bank officials who practice the loose
business methods that make such
crimes possible. 1t is true that our
banks cannot adopt the strict rules that
are enforced by banks in some of the
older communities. In many localities
it is the rule with banks to require all
the signers of note, including the
maker and iDdorsers, to personally ap-
pear before the bank officers and ac-
knowledge the genuineness of the sig
natures. AS we say, it is next to i'm
possible to enforce SO strict rule in a
growing and prosperous community like
ours, yet it does seem that more pre-
caution should be used than is adopted
by some of our banking institutions in
protecting themselves. The Minneap-
oils incident may prove a useful lesson
in this particular, for it surely demon
strates the necessity for the practice of
a Stricter system.

THE CATTLE MARKET.

The meat inspection law has now
been in operation loEg enough for those
who are interested in it to form some
thing like an intelligent idea of what
effect the law will have on the cattle
industry in this state. Those of our
readers who have followed our local
market reports closely will have OBJ
served that there has been a continu-
ously increasing demand for beef cat
tie at both the st. Paul and NIinneap-
oils stock yards, until now the local
supply is not equal to the demand, and
the slaughterers are being compelled to
ship in cattle from st. Joseph and other
points in the Southwest. This is readily
explained by the fact that the local in
spection system is new, and the Mime
sofa farmers have not had the opportu-
nifty to supply themselves with all the
cattle that they can handle. By an
other year they will be better off in this
respect. Then, again, the Montana
cattle are not yet coming into market,
and thus our stock yards have been
compelled to depend largely on Mime
sofa, Dakota and Northern Iowa for the
beef supply. The fact that the demand
is greater than the supply is not only
encouraging to the farmers of this
state to go more largely into
the cattle-raising business, but 1t
is an argument to sustain the wisdom
of the passage of the meat inspection
law. 1t is true that the prices for a
oartoiD rroda of baaf oattIa-oouc that
have been fattened on grass, for in
stance-are not as high as the producers
might have right to expect. Yet there
are two things to be borne in mind;
first, the prices on this quality of cattle
have ranged lower than usual in Chi
cago, Kansas City and other cattle marts
this season because Of the unusual num-
Der of second grade stock that have
been forced on the market by reason of
the dry season; and, secondly, even
cattle Of this grade are selling readily
at some price. There is one thing we
have to say, however, by way of eau
ton to the managers of the stock yards.
Do not let the scarcity of the local cat
tie supply be temptation for shipping
in Texas cattle in competition with our
own stock, for the very moment that is
done opponents of the meat inspection
law will be supplied with an argument
in favor of its repeal. The law was i'll
tended to be direct benefit to our
Minnesota farmers. and whenever it
fails in that object the people of this
state will have no use for the law.

SOME FACTS ABOUT SWINE.
Experts Discuss Hog Cholera and
Other Ailments of POrker

WASHINGTON. Aug. I'm December,
1888, Commissioner COT Agriculture
Coleman appointed special commits
sion for the investigation of epidemic,
or rather epiZootic diseases of swine.
The commission has just completed its
report to Secretary Rusk. After re-
citing the plan of investigation pursued
by the commission, they presented as
the sum of their labors the following
conclusions:
First-It is of the opinion of-the commits
sion that there are at least two widespread
epidemic diseases of hogs in this country
which are caused by different micro-organ-
isms. but which have clinical history and
pathological lesson more or less similar and
very difficult to distinguish without the aid
Of the microscope, and resort to bacterioiogi-
cal methods One OF these epidemic diseases:
One that is called by the bureau of animal
industry swine plague" appears to be far
less prevalent than the other. which has been
named ''hog cholera" The commission are
further of the opinion that "hog cholera is
caused by the specific action of certain dis
tinct microbe named by them the '-hog chol-
era, different from other microbes described
as present IN swine diseases. The commits
sion are also of opinion, although to a less
positive degree. that the epidemic disease
called by the bureau authorities Swine
plague" has as its specific cause a certain
microbe possessing characteristics which dis
tinguish it from the
GERM OF HOG CHOLERA
The discovery of the diseases and of the
microbes 10 which they are due must be con-
sidered original on the pa2t of the bureau of
animal industry, at least as lar as work in the
United States is concerned. In the opinion
of the commission, the epidemic disease of
