There is no occasion for surprise in
the fact that Congressman BRECKEN-
RIDGE, of Kentucky, was the orator at
the celebration at Plymouth Rock on
the LIST. Still, in view of the narrowness
of many people who imagine they have
inherited about all the virtues of their
fathers, it is an incident worthy of note.
Massachusetts has ample and eloquent
local oratory, and it did commendable
thing in looking away from its home
fields for one to fill the post Of honor on
this occasion. That state has won
credit on other occasions i'll its display
of broad and national spirit, and its
invitation to the eloquent and eminent
Kentucky gentleman to pay tribute to
the men who made Plymouth Rock i'm
mortal is a recognition of common
fellowship and common heritage.
Every such incident adds a thread to
the cords that bind the sections.

Gen. William B. Franklin, who is In
charge of the American exhibit at
Paris, is receiving much adverse criti-
cisrn. The fact is, Franklin never was
and never could be popular man. He
is naughty, unapproachable, and cares
nothing for public opinion. In Con-
necticut he has few warm friends. His
record at Paris will not compare favor
ably with Senator Hawley's manage
ment of the Philadelphia centennial.
President Harrison, though he likes
to read history and books of science, in

TIPS ON THE WORLDS FAIR.

The coolest summer resort just now
is between New York and Chicago, the
breeze between those cities over the
worlds fair being exhilarating.-De
troit Tribune.
Chicago rightly claims one advantage
over other cities as the place for holding
the worlds fair. She has plenty of
room within her corporate limitS.-Den-
yer Times.
New York is trumpeting the an
nouncement that the great exposition
has been definitely located at the
metropolis. But wait. If it is to be
national affair the government must fix
the site. The West votes for Chicago
Nebraska State journal.
New York seems to take it for granted
that it will be selected as the place for
the exposition of 1892. This will not do
at all. Foreigners who come over will
want o see little of the country, and
there is very little of America in n eW
York. Chicago is the place of all others
to hold the ceiebration.-Om Omaha Repub-
ican.
Chicago is crazy to get the Columbus
centennial there in 1892. There are TIA
square miles within Chcago's generous
limits and only forty-three within those
of New York. Chicago has all over
weening confidence that the Centennial
commissioners will not select any pent-
up Utica in which to build the centen-
NAL fences.--Cincinnati TimeS-Star.
Chicago wants the worlds fair in 1892.
It should he held there. Chicago is the
greatest of all inland cities in the
United States. and the future great
city of the world. It is the center of
population in this country, and by rea-
son of the worlds fair being held there
it would bring the people of other coun-
tries TO better knowledge of Americas
greatneSs.-Streator Free Press.

STATE SENTIMENT.

Quite number of the Minnesota
editors are working themselves into an
unnecessary frenzy over the John Day
Smith law forbidding newspapers from
publishing hangings. What is the use
of becoming eXcited2 The law is al
ready dead letter; its absurdity killed
it, so why this nervousness?-St. Peter
Tribune.
The Prohibitionists in the two Da-
kotas never had better chance to show
their power and authority. They
should place full state ticket in the
field and, from the outset, make an
aggressive fight, hold what they get
and reach out for more.
The opportunity is splendid, and
should not be given away, either by
voting with the two other parties or
through inactivity. Let the Dakotian
Prohibltionists stand to their guns in
the coming fight, and when the smoke
shall have cleared away, the enemy's
dead will stand out in bold relief anent
the Western sky.-Houston Signal.
AS means of ascertaining the pref
erenee of the legal voters for United
States senators, the North Dakota con-
Stitution provides that at all general
elections preceding sessions OF the leg
loldILlb WulCH die CuulSCQ Will tllC
duty of electing United States senators,
each voter may express by ballot his
choice for senator. This is a sensible
provision, and, although it will have no
legal weight. it will show conclusively
who the people desire to represent them
in the senate of the United States, and
cannot fail to have an influence on the
observation-disclosures Tribune.
The North Dakota constitutional con-
vention rejected the proposal to con-
fine legislative power to one body. For
this action probably no better reason
was or could be given than such as is
foundi in line of presidents. Had
the English parliament consisted of
three houses instead of two, it is quite
likely that the congress of the United
States and the legislatures Of the sew
eral states would also consist of three
houses. North Dakota has merely fol-
lowed precedent which it had not the
courage to disregard Herald.
The present prosperity and greatness
of Minneapolis and st. Paul is due in
measure to the persistent advertising of
their papers. which has called the atten-
ton of people in all sections of the
country to their many advantages and
has aided largely In attracting capital
and immigration to them. The papers
have received generous support and
have given generously in return.-The
North Star.

THEY MAKE HAY,

Down where the meadows are smiling in
clover,
And each blade Of grass holds its own drop
of dew,
Where fairylike cloud-ships sail dreamily
over
Across the fair sea of ethereal blue;
Where the wild bees necessarily hum in
their gladness
And the meadow lark gleefully MARBLES its
lay,
While the turtle dove mournfully tells Of her
sadness,
The honest old farmer is making his hay.
Up in the city hall at the convention.
At the sly Darkroom meetings where states
are arranged
In ways that are dark and too numerous to
mention,
Where money for ballots is freely ex-
changed.
With wise declarations and solemn made
pledges
This. that and the other designed to betray,
By promises this way, those that way he
hedges.
The sly politician is making his hay.

auxiliaries to effect this will be had
in dissatisfaction with the course of
the administration in the disposition of
the offices and unpopular legislation.
The president is not giving satisfaction
to either the spoilsmen OF the reform
ers, and, with the weakness Of the
time server, will lack the courage to
persistently follow either line. The
patronage of the government may oeea-
sionally serve individual dispensers, but
it is source of discomfort and weak

larly to the party that has such an I'M

EUROPEAN CITIES.
Population of Principal Ones
Compared With American Cities.

Paris is not larger than New York
and Brooklyn, probably, and is like
those cities divided by a river near it's
middle. 1t claimed to have in 1886
2,3 344 $50 Inhabitants. nearly three times
as many as st. Petersburg or Constan-
nople. which two rival cities are nearly
CITY of Spain, has but 35S,000 people,
smaller than Marseilles or Lyons. But
Paris is equal to all the large cities of
France, say those above 10000, put to-
gether. France has inferior cities,
Paris excepted, to the United States.
Lyons has the population of Balti-
more or Boston. Bordeaux, the fourth
city of France, has the population of
Buffalo. Lille is not as big as Cleve-
land. Havre, the ninth city of France,
is not larger than Albany. Many of the
modern French cities are uninteresting
in every respect. Philadelphia has half
the population that Paris figures to.
San Francisco beats Bordeaux. If in
France the city of Washington would
stand fourth larger than Lille, Cleve-
land would go between MarSeilles and
Bordeaux. Chicago has third as many
as Paris, and twice the population of
the French second city, Lyons. Column
bigger than Brest or Toulon. Whining
ton, Del, is of the size of Orleans. New
Orleans is four times larger than French
Orleans. indianapolis is bigger than
Rouen, Louisville larger than Lille.
Contrasted with the rival cities of
Europe, Copenhagen, with it's 1000
people, would be the fourth city of
France, Antwerp the fifth, Liege the
seventh. Vienna has 100000 people,
about as many as Philadelphia. Buda-
Pest, with $50, 900, would rank fourth in
France. London, claiming to have, in
1887, 4,215.0 200 people, is nearly double
Paris. English cities in general, how
ever. suffer, like those of France, from
the metropolitan rot, and only Liverpool
and Glasgow next pass population of
100000. 1t takes the fifteen cities next
to London, between Liverpool and
Leicester i'll population, to repeat the
population of London.
Berlin now claims 1880 pOpula-
ton, nearly as many as New York city
alone, but the next German city, Ham
burg, drops to the plane of Pittsburg, or
San Francisco, with only 100000. But
twenty cities of Germany have over
100000 people. and only four besides
Berlin have over 20O,0 900. Italy has only
five cities of 100000 people and above,
led by Naples with 463. COO, which is the
second city Of the Mediterranean, or
next to Constantinople. Amsterdam is
little short of Lyons in population.
Rotterdam is not as big as Detroit. Mos

Stockholm, with 227,000 people, is the
match for Washington, Newark, Kansas

CONGRATULATIONS.

Preacher TALMAGE has one Or more
lectures that he always premises with
congratuiation to the audience and to
himself. Possibly he repeats it on all
occasions where he wants prelude to
the written part. This duplex felicita-
ton could be borrowed by the two gen.
tlemen who have so thoughtfully az
ranged to go to the senate from North
Dakota. They could congratulate the
people that they were to be relieved
from all annoyance and scandal such
as older states have known in similar
cases, and they can congratulate them
selves at their sudden realization, on
the passage of the omnibus bill, that
they had always intended to become
residents of Dakota, whatever grief
might possess fellow citizens at Wash
ingtOn or Minneapolis. A third con-
graduation might now be added
over the amicable settlement of
the seeming difficulty in the
attempt of both to pre-empt
the same claim. There was an
apparent advantage in residence at the
capital, and each sprung for it. This
has happily been obviated by the assign
ment to Gov. ORDWAY of the theory
that stock ranch would pad the feliei-
ties of life if located in Walsh county,
on the Red river. This will avoid inter-
ference with Gen. ALLEN at Fargo,
MILLER at Wahpeton, and the states
men at Grand Forks, DEVILS Lake, Penn
bina and Jamestown. If the others
who aspire to places can now initiate
this example, and draw straws for posi-
ton. the slate can easily be completed
and the residences of the parties prop
erly located. This exhibition of for
bearance and mutually on the part of
ORDwAY and PIERCE is assurance that
they will share and share alike" in
the patronage they will have to dis
pense, and obviate all interference from
cranks or the people.

Boston Advertiser.
Lawn parties are the thing In the sub
urbs just now, and the lemon lunch is
the fav0rite of all, and it must be con-
fessed it is not a bad idea for hot day.
The invitations to the lemon lunch bear
lemon for a crest, and everybody who
attends wears knot of lenon-colOred
ribbon. Each one brings lemon, too.
Some young ladies of the hostess family
or acquaintance cut the lemons in two
as they come, and put the seeds into
lemon-colored bowl. The ingenuity OF
the lady of the estate is displayed in the
decoration of her table. Everything Is
yellow, so far as possible flowers:
china, the border of the napkins and

soning or garnishing of lemon. At the
end of the lunch the lemon-seed howl
is brought on, and each lady has guess
how many seeds it contains, the one
guessing nearest receiving prize Of

Pail Mall Gazette.
The funeral of the mother of the IA

which took place day or two ago. has
been quite one of the sights of Madrid.
The old lady, who passed her life in
constant anxiety about her daring son,
died while he was killing six bulls in
the arena. Frascuelo worshiped her
and had her buried in princely state.
The lead coffin, richly decorated with
ornaments of gold, was carried to the
hearse by four of his comrades; eight
black horses drew the char funebre, and
behind it, together with Frascuelo,
walked all the most famous bullfighters
of the town; 100 carriages followed, and
a large crowd of persons belonging to
all classes joined the procession.
