THE EICURE .s9..,

The figure ''9'' in our dates is with US
and has come to stay. No man or WON
an now living will ever date document
without using the figure 9. 1t now
stands on the extreme right-1SSg. Next
year it will be in the third place, where
it will remain ten years. 1t will then
move up to the second place-19O0-
and then it will rest one hundred years.
There is another ''9'' which has also
come to stay it is called the No. o."
1t is not like the figure ''9' in our dates
in the respect that it will have to wait
until next year for third place, or ten
years for second place, as it has this
wear stood i'm front place, and 1t will
not move from there; it is the new mo.

The mo. 81 is not an old style of ma
chine having some slight change made
in it and then called "new improved"
but it is an entirely new machine. 1t
was invented by the best mechanical
experts fthe age. What better proof
is wanted of that fact than the following
eablegram direct from the Paris Exposi.
ton. which was published in all the
Chicago newspapers of October I'd?

the Minneapolis contingent had to
make their tram at 10:42, right well did
he treat his subject. After referring
to the fact that the two cities
were closely united in inter
es,s, and must if necessary
pull together in order to prevent other
rivals from intruding on the territory
tributary TO them, Mr.. Smaliey said:
"There are two things, at least, upon
which we can and ought to unite at
once, and they are park systems and a
water supply. We ought to go to the
legislature at the next session and ask
for the appointment of COM
mission to survey and report all
the available sources of water
supply. While st. Paul now has an
abundant supply of good water, the
growth of the city will demand great
deal more by the time this survey was
completed. / trust" said Mr.. Smalley,
in concluding, THAT this commercial
club will continue to find other subjects
upon which it can join hands until the
final union of Minneapolis and st. Paul,
when they will become the great center
of the great Northwest"
The election of Understanding to
the constitution was the next thing on
the programme, and on motion of Hon.
John B. GilfilIan, of Minneapolis, the
present officers were all reelected

On motion of Charming Seabury, Oh

then adopted:
Resolved, That il is the unanimous sentf
ment of this club that the Twin Cities should

A motion by Gov. PiIlsbury thanking

DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS have often cen.
sur4d the public acts and words of U. s.
Senators Evarts, Dawes, Ingalls,, Plumb and
Teller, all prominent republican leaders,
but their denunciation of those Senators
has never gore to the extent OF that of q
newspaper so distinctively republican as the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, whose words
heretofore have been deemed by all of the
pure republican faith as true as gospel. The
charges brought against the named Senators
by democrats, though denied at the time by
republicans, are now not only reiterated By
the newspaper referred, but added to, par.
ticularizad and corroborsted.

President Harrison and his Cabinet Of
ficers do exactly right when they select for
appointment only republicans. They are
bound-if they believe in their party's prip
cples and platform appoint to office only
men who agree with those principles and
platform"
This is right. But when President Har.

publicans in Office and appointed other re,
publicans to office, 10 the exclusion of dem.

The week has been devoid of anything of spe
cial interest in financial or commercial point of

while State securities are inactive and railroad

somewhat more active, and low prices sre very at.
tractive. The fishing season is so FAR propitious.

WHILE THE few white southern protec
tiopists who recently assembled at Birming
ham for the avowed object of improving the
republican party of the South by putting
the control of its affairs in the hands OF men
respected by their neighbora and by ezclu-
ding negroes from its councils, were holding
their meeting, large number of negroes
met in the same town and denounced the
proposed movement RS one devised for de
priving the only element OF strength pos
sessed by the republican party of the South
its negro members-of any influence In
or any of the offices of that party. If the
republican idea, that the negroes shall rule
white democrats in those southern commu-
mites in which they have majority OF the
voters be correct, they should certainly be
entitled to rule the few white republicans in
those same communities.

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL -.

THE RICHMOND Dispatch can't understand
how it is that the GAZETTE says protection
is republican doctrine and that man be-
lieving in it should join the republican party.
and at the same time say that division OIL
the southern white vote would endanger
white supremacy in the South. In the hrst
place, the GAZETTE did not make the former
assertion, though it endorses it, but gave IL
as the expression of southern republicans.
In the second, the GAzETTE believes there
are so few white protectionists in the South
that their loss would rot affect democratic
msiorities in this section. 1t also believes
that few white men, at all interested 10 the
material or moral welfare Of the South, In
telllgent enough to have definite ideas Cd
the subject of the tariff, whether they be
protectionists or free traders, will ever vote
so as to endanger white supremacy In this
