THE STATE FAIR.

The State Fair opened yesterday un-
peculiarly auspiciouS circumstances.
The weather was just such as IS needed
to make gatherings of this character en-
ioyable and successful. There was
rather less than usual of the friction
and confusion of the first day, and un-
der the efficient management all the
Quirks were Strengthened out, and the
Fair is now fully inaugurated for the
season that promises to give the best
record yet had. The attendance indi-
Gated that the prosperity Of the year in
the field will be felt in the patronage Of
the exposition. People are in better
humor than they have been some re-
cent seasons, and it is easier for them
to take few days for combined recrea-
ton and profit. More than common in
terest is taken in it. as shown also
by the exhibits in the various depart
ents. Some of them are exceedingly
good and will repay careful scrutiny.
In addition to the features of wOnted in
terest the participation of the Texas
cowboys and their exhibitions of skill
and daring with the wild animals is an
exciting novelty. They are evidently
the genuine article and no imitation.
The programmes for each day comprise
an entertainment that will well repay
constant attendance. 1t is the peoples
exhibition. 1t is an index of the indus
tries, resources and productions of the
state, and should have the active en-
cOuragement of all the people of the
state. Let none fail to attend it.

MANvEL AT THE HELM.
He Is Elected President Of tht
Santa Fe.

Boston, Sept. Cat the meeting Of the
directors of the Atehison Topeka q Santa
Fe Railroad company to-day the following
communication was read:
Gentlemen-I hereby resign the Office Of
president and director of this company, to
lake effect as soon as the board can relieve
me from duty, but not later than the next
meeting of the board. W. b. STRONG.
The resignation was accepted, and reso-
luton expressing their appreciation Of his
faithfulness, integrity and ability, and their
sincere wishes for his future welfare and
success, was adopted by the directors. Allen
Marvel. the late vice president of the st.
Paul, Minneapolis q Manitoba railway, was
then unanimously elected a director and
president of the company, and will as
sumo his duties next Monday. 1t was an
nounced that sufficient number OF stock
holders of each of the California compar
nies had given their consent to the consolida-
ton of the same ana the consolidation would
go into effect forthwith. Instructions were
given to the general counsel to take steps at
the opening of congress to have San Diego
declared a port for immediate transportation
in bond to put II upon the same basis with
San Francisco so that San Diego will in the
future be in as favorable position tor GUS
toms and transportation facilities as San
Francisco. To meet the present situation Of
the roads affairs, the bylaws were amended
so as to relieve the president from the super
vision of financial affairs of the company, S
thus leaving him free to give his entire time
to the operation of the railway properties in
the system. The board authorized settle

STATE SENTIMENT.

There is strong and steady tide of oppo-
sition setting in against Gov. Merriam among
the Republicans of this state that threatens
to sweep him from power unless his golden
barriers can break its force. There has been
for some time seething mass of corruption
beneath the surface of the Republican poll
tics in this state and it is now beginning to
break the thin crust that has covered it and
is coming to the surface in all its repelling
putridness.-Faribault Pilot.
ST. Paul is just now engaged in struggling
with mathematical problem of some interest.
If it costs an average OF SO per front foot
to grade and pave their Streets and Thomas
Lowry owns the streets in fee simple, how
much money does the street car maze by
having other people pay for paving and
grading or something like that-Duluth

We are glad to see some of our state ex-
changes take hold and discuss the free post

not only has to call for his mail. but has to

WHITTIER TENDING?

When the July exhibit of the pub
lie finances showed an increase of
the debt of a million and half
or so, the ready explanation of un-
usual pension payments was accept
ed as a casual and temporary incl
dent. But when the August figures
come and the experts elicit from the
complicated and elaborate table the fact
that the shortage has appeared again
and Swelled to S7,O94,O ,OO3, there is pause
and more sOlicitOuS inquiry. The re-
SpOnSe is that TANNER'S pension drafts
for the month were $40, ,243, 1863, or at the
rate of nearly $25O.OOO,OOO per annum.
The appropriation for the years pen
sionS was based upon the most careful
estimates of the needs of that depart
ment, and was sS1, ,756, 700. 1t is easily
seen that if the August figures approx
mate the average of the year, Commis-
missioner TANNER will find the bottom
of the purse in less than five months.
An increase of the expenditures of the
month of nearly 40 per cent over the
corresponding month of last year,
is an occasion for inquiry There
is room for suspicion that TANNER
has practically solved the surplus
question. Then comes a disclosure that
may help to elucidate TANNERS urgent
demand at Milwaukee that the pension
widows should be on the rolls after they
cease to be widows. One man has
developed in Shelby county, Indiana,
sixteen cases of this kind of fraud.
They had all remarked, been rerated
and paid arrears. No reason appears
why this fraudulent work should be
peculiar to one county in Indiana. 1t
is no doubt epidemic under the TAN
NER system. If it has not spread to all
the pension districts of the land, it is
because there are no parties in them
dishonest enough. Another instance of
the sort of work that perhaps the pres
ident had in mind when he said that no
apothecaries' scales should be used in
the pension department, is found iii the
case of THOMAS SHERMAN, of Con-
necticuU. He was mustered into the
service Nov. 10, 1862, and deserted May
90, 1868, as shown by the official records.
Commissioner TANNER decides that he
shall have a pension, with all the az
rears. He may insist that he is only
following out in generous way the in
junction of the president on his ap-
pOintment, ''Treat the boys liberally;;"
but he must go. The administration is
bound to shake him.

An OLD FRAUD.

There is nothing in the record or
character of old SITTING BULL to rem
der it improbable that he did instigate
some of his young men to work in poi
son on JOHN GRASS. The bad feeling
between them was chronic, and cropped
out in the denunciation of the old kicker
and fraud to the commission when
GRASS urged that S. B. be put off the
reservation as a pestilent fomenter Of
trouble. Poison would be the sort of
retaliation the latter would naturally
seek. 1t is suited to his style. If
GRASS dies it will evidently be neces-
sary for the government to put SITTING
BULL good ways from the reservation
if it is desired to keep him alive, which
may be matter of doubt. If he could
be embalmed and sold to some museum,
it would probably be the best disposi-
ton of the malignant old fossil.

REFORM AGENCIES

Pennsylvania has rejected prohibi-
tion, but il has a statute that puts a
good deal of arbitrary power in the
hands of local judges. They are allowed
to license in their discretion. In some
cases they come near the prohibition
line in their zeal. In Allegheny county,
which comprises Pittsburg and Ale
gheny city, stubborn judge has used
his authority to such effect that in his
district it is estimated that fully 500
drinking clubs and clandestine places
for selling liquor have taken the place
of licensed saloons. Very little is
effected in the warfare upon these.
Their illicit and pernicious work goes
on seven days in the week. Laws a
century old have been eXhumed and put
into operation. These operate on soda,
milk shake and candy stands Just as if
they were Kansas drug shops or "holeS
i'm the wall.' The manipulators of
these are run in and mulcted, but
there is one mute but persistent
breaker of the law and demoralizer
of the public conscience; that is the
Waukesha water machine. 1t stands in
the public place, and in response to the.
dropping of a penny it fills the glass
and fractures the Sunday law The
machine cannot well be arrested, fined
or imprisoned, and any mutilation of it
will involve trouble. The ancient stat
ute is futile in its presence, and the
only recourse would seem TO be to call

STOCKINGS FATAL SHOT.
A Faro Dealer Fills a Desperate
EulI of Lead

DENVER, Col. Sept 6.-At an early hour
this morning Timothy Stocking. a faro dealer
in the Arcade gambling hall, shot and in
stantly killed Billy Murphy, an ex-convict
from the Joliet. ILL.,, penitentary. The story
leaoing up to the murder is something of q
romance. In 1888, Miss Williams, beauti-
ful young girl, came to Chicago from small
town in Wisconsin TO visit friends. Shortly
after her arrival she met Billy Murphy.
plumber who fell madly in love. The girl
did not return his attentions, ana soon after
ward met and married Timothy Stock
ing, a member of Pinkerton's force.
Murphy took to drink. and
couple of months after the wedding
was caught attempting to burglarize resi-
dence and was sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment, Stocking being the principal
witness for the prosecution. Murphy swore
he would kill both Stocking and his wife as
soon as he could gain his liberty. After his
release he followed the couple over the
country, finally locating them i'll Denver. He
came here couple OF months ago and meet
ing Mrs. Stocking on the street, nearly
frightened her to death by his threats of viO-
lence against herself and her husband.
Stocking, however, appeared to pay but little
attention to the threats. and laughed at them
whenever his wife spoke about the matter.
The police had been notified of the state
Of affairs, and had repeatedly driven
Murphy from Stockings premises. where
he had been found skulking around at all
hours of the night. About l O'Clock this
morning Stocking was awakened by some
one knocking at mis- front door, and going to
the entrance he asked who was there, and
being informed that it was Billy Murphy.
Stocking looked between the blinds and saw
the man with a huge knife. Stocking picked
up shotgun aud fired its contents into Muir
phys fdce and neck, literally tearing them
to pieces. Murphy staggered out of the gate
and fell on the sidewalk a corpse. Stocking
was arrested and locked up in the central
station. The deceased has father living on

HER FRIEND.

Marie has lovers half score.
She wears them as she does her gloves;
One pair when driving on the shore,
Another for the modest loves
of country lanes, mid flowers and dew,
whirl that never seems TO end;
And yet It's serious and true,
much prefer to be her friendi
When tired of Charley tennis talk,
0And wearied quite with Georges crawl.
When sated with the moonlight walk
After the ennui of ball;
All. then she takes my arm in hers,
And l to her rare moods attend,
Beneath the pines and jumpers,
And still I'd rather be her friend.
Her soul is like an open book.
Wherein the fairest thoughts / read;
No strangers 'tWixt its covers look,
Or glim psing, feel no anxious need.
The utmost trust she asks of me,
That trust where two twin natures blend |;
Ny comrades WOO right gallantly,
Butt would rather be her friend.
We read for hours in quiet hooks,
The few deep authors of our choice;
Somehow, the music of the brooks
Is not so sweet as her low voice;
And while the breakers strike the beach
And over, under. curve and bend,
Her heart my heart doth truly teach
Until-but must be her friend!
Sometimes the daring thought will rise.
When touch of hand has thrilled me
through
And in her tender girlish eyes
One sees the heavens reflected blue,
What wonld do if she some day
Her wedding cards to me should send:

'Tis better Just 10 be her friend

SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS.

Not very much has been expected of
the Democrats in South Dakota. The
$4,000 or $4,000 majority that has been
rolled up against them is hardly cal
culated to inspire the most sanguine an
ticipations. But in their action at the
late convention at Huron they displayed
practical wisdom. and planted them
selves upon foundations that are solid
and hopeful to build on. They call at
tention to the lavish and reckless finan-
cial management of the party in power,
and insist upon frugality and economy,
with low taxation. They stand for just
and equitable pensions to the veterans
and their dependents, tariff reform and
reduction, and opposition to the attempt
to put prohibition in the constitution.
1t is believed that decided majority of
the voters hold to these principles,
whether they have the independence to
vote them or not. There is no more
available or popular man than MCCLURE
for governor. and the entire ticket
seems to be made of first-clasS mate
