The democratic state conventions in New
York and Massachusetts today are not ex-
citing widespread interest. In Massachusetts,
all the signs point to a walk-over by William E.
Russell for the head of the ticket. In New
York the democrats would feel that they had
not really had a convention unless it were ac-
comPanied with just the least bit of family
serimmage. The regulars" and the "coun-
ties" may be looked to, therefore, for their
usual difference Of opinion as to the admission
of certain contesting delegations. But the
places to be filed in an off-year are not good
enough as a rule to justify a very bitter or e1-
Pensive fight, especially with the presidential
canvass still SO far off

The effort which humane friends q, The

The effort which humane friends of the
railroad employees are making Just now to
procure the substitution Of automatic devices
Tor the awkward mandrake and Iink-and-pin
coupling on cars deserves universal popular
support The full meaning of the movement
10 not realized till we consider such statements
as are made by ex-Railroad Commissioner
conn OF Iowa, showing that in his state alone
500 men were killed and injured last year
through the use OF the old-fashioned ap-
paratus. In period Of ten years there were
2,26 such casualties. an average Of nearly 243
In year; and the rate, of course, is con-
annually on the increase, proportional to the
growth Of railway traffic. Taking the mileage
OF Iowa as a standard and preserving the same
ratio Of accidents, it is estimated that there
must be not less than 5000 men killed or
MANNED every year by the obstinacy Of their
employers in resisting the march Of progress
in their branch Of industry. That means
nearly twenty victims every day. 1t is
shameful showing, and public opinion ought to
make itself felt in behalf Of multitude of
hard and faithful workers, who are nearly
powerless to make.th own voices heard.
The difference between the English and the
American sense Of humor is shown in Henry
Irving's application for the Introduction of
burlesque imitation Of him which was running
in one Of the London theaters. On this side Of
the water almost any actor Of note would re-
gard this a. pretty good advertisement, 10 be
encouraged rather than rebuffed. Booth,
Jefferson, Couldock and others who have suf-
fered in like manner at the hands of the funny
men on the stage have winked at it, as the
political magnates Of . quarter-century ago
did when Lingard produced his clever stage
portraits Of them. There is always more or
less indirect fattery in such treatment. No.
body thinks Of caricaturing a person who is
not eminent in his way. The comic delineator

A MODERN JAPHET.
Andrew Mcdonald in Search Of a
Father and Sister

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-To-day Andrew
Mcdonald, well-tc-do citizen of Frank
fort. Pa, and the superintendent of
the Friends asylum for the insane at
that place, called at police headquar-
tiers. He was in search of his father, a
sister aud brother. The story told by
him was of decidedly romantic nature.
In 1867 his father, Owen, his mother,
two sisters and two brothers came to
this city, Times were hard then with
the Mcdonald family, and on May of
that year Andrew, who was six years
old, his brother Edward, nine, and his
sister Mary, still younger, were found
wandering on Mulberry street without
friends and home. They were picked
up by the police and sent to Ran
dall's island. Eleven days after
wards Andrew and Edward were taken
by the ChildreD's AID society and put
There they remained until twenty-One
years of age. They had managed to
save a small sum of money during their
apprenticeship, and shortly afterwards
bought a farm, which is cared for by
Edward. A few years ago Andrew
began a search for his missing rela-
tives. and discovered one of his sis
tiers, living in Baltimore, married to
Chris Rhein. From her he learned
of the death of his mother, who had
died of broken heart because. of the
loss of her children, but that their
father was still alive in New York, as
was their brother Patrick, who had mar
ried, but she could give no clue to the
locality of their residences. The sister
said that when their mother learned
that her boys had been taken away by
the Children's Aid society, she made
every effort to find their where
abouts. but the officers of the
society declined to give any informa-
ton. When Andrew asked his sister as
to the whereabouts of their sister Mary,
she said that the little one had been
taken from Randai's Island and had
been placed with the Catholic sisters.
In 1884, according to the narrator's
story, she sent lady friend of hers to
the Home of the Good Shepherd to
learn if any trace of the lost one could
be had. There she was told that Mary
was there. but could not b cen,
as she was in retirement. To-day, when
Andrew called at the institution, the
mother superior informed him that his
sister had left the institution in 1875.
This was in direct contradiction of the
story told to the lady who visited the
place in 1884. Mr.. Mcdonald will con-
tinue the search for his relatives.

PROBABLY.

"The clock of Mr.. WINDOWS earthly
greatness has probably recorded the
mark of high twelve" is the grandilo-
quent style in which the Duluth Trib-
une disposes of Mr.. WINDOWS senate
rial ambition. Fortunately for the Du-
luth editor, he qualified his classic dis
posal of WINDOW by injecting the word
probably" into the sentence. He
leaves himself room to hedge, so to
speak. 1t was thought that the clock of
Mr.. WINDOWS earthly greatness had
recorded high noon when he was last
defeated for the senate. So firmly was
this impression fixed in the minds of
Minnesota politicians that when Mr..
WINDOW turned up in st. Paul at the
Republican state convention in 1856 as
delegate from Winona there were none
sc poor as to do him reverence. No
more attention was paid to him than if
he had never been in public life. He
sat in his seat all Gay, looking as lone
some as the new boy at the district
school. And yet there are men who sat
on the platform that day looking away
over Mr.. WINDOWS head, and apparent
ly not noticing his presence, who are to-
day making trips to Washington for the
sole purpose Of currying favor with the
man who now dispenses federal patron
age in Minnesota. Circumstances alter
cases nightly. 1t is usually observed
that the man who holds the latch-key to
the postoffices, together with we'll
filled purse, will in time become the
idol of his party.

ELECTRIC EXPERIMENT..

The resolution submitted to council
last night by Bishop IRELAND and Mr..
COCHRAN, proposing to grant to the
street railway company the right to ex-
pertinent in the use of electric power on
the two lines mentioned in the resolu-
ton, was doubtless offered by those
gentlemen in the utmost sincerity and
good faith. In addition to their high
standing as citizens of the community,
the fact that they had already offered
large bonus to the street railway COM
pany to build one or both of the pro-
posed lines is the evidence of their sim
cerity and OF their earnest desire to have
the experiment made. Yet the resolu-
ton merits the careful consideration of
council before being adopted. On its
face it appears to be perfectly fair
proposition in response to Col. BARR's
recent appeal to the city authorities to
test the electric motor service before
adopting it so extensively as is proposed
by the pending ordinance. But by
careful reading of the resolution it will
be discovered that it is not altogether
such an innocent document as it
appears to be at the first blush.
If it proposed to give the street
railway company the right to ex-
pertinent with the electric motor only
on streets where the tracks are already
laid, then different phase would be
put on it. But by extending this right
to new lines the city council would
virtually commit itself to a policy en-
tirely at variance with the policy out
lined in the ordinance relating to the
subject of electric motor lines now
pending before the council. In other
words, it would be a concession of all
that Mr.. LOWRY has asked and recOg
milton of his claim respecting the eX-
clusiveness of his franchise. There is
no necessity for experimenting with
electric motors. Ali the experimenting
that is necessary, and that is possible to
be made here, has been done elsewhere.
If the electric motor has been success
in other cities it will be success here.
If it has been a failure elsewhere, it
will be failure here. That is the long
and the short Of it. The council ought to
possess sufficient intelligence to de-
termine whether or not the numerous
experiments that have been made with
electric motors in dozen or more cities
have been success or not, without
wasting valuable time in experimental
projects. There is pretty unanimous
opinion outside of the council chamber
that the electric motor is success, and
that the ordinance which the council
has so long been dallylng with contains
all the provisions that are necessary to
put the electric motor lines into opera

IOWANS ADMIT 1T.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette says that
the platform of the Iowa Republicans
comedies that protection has in some
cases fostered trusts and trade cOnspir-
acies," and that it is about the only
Iowa Republican paper that has de-
nounced such protection. 1t alludes to
the usual party delivery on the subject,
like those in Pennsylvania and Ohio of
late, as 6 the old gags" 1t is gratifying
to note this evidence of advance in a
portion of the Republican forces, and
no imputations of inconsistency will be
introduced. But the Gazette eXciteS
alarm for its party loyalty when it goes
on further to throw down the glove to
Mr.. BLAINE, and assure him that even
if he does regard trusts as largely pri-
vate affairs, with which the public have
nothing to do or say" he will " find out
that the public do have something to
say about them" Great educators are
the trusts.

THE STATE FAIR.

1t is, perhaps, well enough for us here
in st. Paul to wake up to the fact that
the time for holding the state fair is
near at hand, and that we have a duty
to perform in the way of contributing
to its success. The management have
been working faithfully and success
fully in arranging for the exhibit, and
the prospects are that we are to have
this year the best fair of the whole Sc
rieS. President BUSHNELL and Secre-
tary DENNY, with the aid of their corps
of capable assistants, have worked up
an interest among the farmers Of the
state exceeding anything known in past
seasons. The whole state has been
thoroughly canvassed, and, in addition
to securing a fine exhibit, they have
succeeded in establishing a bureau of
information in connection with the fair
that promises to be of great value.
The purpose is to bring and
keep the institution within the
legitimate scope of an agricultural fair,
and thus the managers have succeeded
in enliSting the active sympathy and CO.
operation of all the farmers of the state,
who realize that the fair is to be per-
manent benefit to them. There will be
an unusually fine display of live stock
and farm products. Special attention
will be given to the dairy interests, to
domestic manufactures, to the poultry
display, and, in fact, to everything in
which a farmer or farmers wife is in
the least interested. Nor will the es-
thetic features of the exhibition be over
looked. The art gallery display is to be
unusually attractive, the merchants of
the Twin Cities are to be given ample
space for display of their goods and
wares, and every department will be
under the superintendent of most ca
pable persons. The sporting and amuSe-
ment features of the exhibition are to
be on a par with everything else. The
entries that have been made are a guar
antee of the finest racing, and the
various amuSementS that have been
billed are an assurance that there will
be no lack of entertainment.
The farmers of the Northwest are in
good heart just at this time, on account
of their splendid crops, and they are
in the humor to boom the state fair.
They are coming up to HamlIne in
great crowds, and we want to be ready
to give them the welcome and the ell
tertainment they have a right to expect
of US. More than that, we want TO dem
onstrate to them that we are equally in
terested with them in making this years
fair grand success, and can best do
that by laying our hands to the work
and helping the managers along. The
fair is state institution. it is true, yet
the business men of st. Paul and Min
neapolis have, or ought to have, a pecul-
lar local pride in it, and the success of
each years exhibit largely depends
upon the local support given to it. In
speaking thus to the business men of
the Twin Cities, we are not talking for
effect We do not want you to be con-
tent with giving a tacit Endorsement to
all we are saying, and then forgetting
all about it until you are again remind
ed of your duty. Be up and go at it as if
you felt the weight of heavy response
bility resting upon your shoulders.
Display your faith by your works.
