THE CHOICEST FLOWER.

"He is the flower of his class" That
was what Mr.. ERWIN said of Gov.
MERRIAM yesterday, and then followed
a description of the class in which the
governor is listed. A perusal of that
part of Mr.. ERwIN's speech will we'll
repay the voters of Minnesota who are
interested in purifying state politics.
The people of Minnesota want man
in the executive chair who is ssshe
flower of his Glass;" but they want it to
be class who hold to the true forms of
constitutional government, who believe
in all honesty that this is a government
of the people. for the people, and by the
people.
The class which the masses are Gull
Ing for the choicest flower is the class of
Americans who have more respect for
the dignity of labor and for the inalien-
able rights of life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness than they have for fic-
titious values.
The man that the hour demands is the
man who holds honor above price; who
will neither buy nor sell in the sham
bles of politics, who has the moral cour-
age to resist the corrupt tendencies Of
the age, and whose patriotism is of that
unselfsh type which prevailed in the
earlier and better days Of the republic.
1t is the flower of this class whom the
DeODle will delight to honor,

STATES FALLING BEHIND,

From the reports in the papers of that
section it seems that the census tells a
very suggestive story about Maine, the
home of the man who passed the en-
larged tariff bill in the house the other
day. Some towns and cities show a
moderate gain in numbers, but in nearly
every county there is all actual loss in
the decade. The agricultural districts
uniformly have dwindled in population,
and there is loss in prosperity. Maine
has many natural advantages and re-
sources that should insure prosperity,
1t once built ships and sent them out
from its splendid harbors, but that is a
condition that has lapsed. She still has
grand pine forests and mineral re-
sources. The farmers are not doing
well. In large measure this unfavor-
able aspect has been induced by the
legislation of the party it has so con-
Stantly sustained. Some like also to
find room for blow at the peculiar
social system that originated these.
Perhaps they mistake condolences for
causes. They find that in all the states
that have adopted prohibition the tides
OF prosperity have been checked, and,
as i'll Maine, actually turned in the
other direction. Kansas and Iowa
adopted the system few years ago, and
1t is insisted that they have not been
like the bay tree since. No states in the
West seemed more prosperous in the
early part of the decade. The last few
years their neighbors, Nebraska and
Minnesota, have shot away past them.
North Dakota grew tremendously in the
first half of the decade. but has been
dosing with prohibition since. Per-
haps, however, these parties are mis-
taken in supposing that has had any re-
tarding effect.

OLD ENoCH's CLAIM INVALID
The Northern Pacific's Title to
Valuable Realty Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The secre-
tary OF the interior to-day rendered a
decision in the somewhat celebrated
case of r. E. Spicer and Others VS.. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
James N. Glover and others, inter ven
ors. The case involves the status of a
tract of land In an odd-numbered sec
ton within the primary limits of said
cOmpany's grant, upon which portion
of the city of Spokane Falls, WASH. is
now located. The land is said to
be now valued at more than
Ss,0OO,0OO. 1t was claimed by
Spicerthat the land was excepted from
the cOmpany'S grant by reason of the
occupancy of Spokane Indian named
Enoch. and ON April IL, 1890, the secre-
tary directed that a hearing be had to
determine the status of the land at the
date of definite location OF the COM
pany's road, when its rights were
attached. Subsequently the inter-
hearing revoked upon the ground that
the Indian Enoch had never severed his
tribal relations and was therefore I'M
able to make any valid settlement that
would except the land from the grant.
They filed numerous affidavits and re-
cord evidence in support of these allie
cations. Upon the new evidence
submitted the secretary revoked his
former order, directing hearing and
dismissed the application of Spicer and
others that the tract should be surveyed
as town site for the reason that upon
the whole record now before him, it
conclusively appears that the said
Indian had never severed his tribal re-
lations and that there was no sufficient
showing for ordering hearing before
the local officers. This decision in effect
confirms the railroad title as against the
parties claiming an adverse interest.

LOOKING ARROAD.

Boss QUAY's convention in Pennsyl-
wanna the other day Endorsed the Nc
KINLEY bill and denounced the notice
taken of the measure in the English
parliament as an unwarrantable inter
ference in things on this side of
the water. 1t could easily be re-
torted that this country has no bust
ness to talk when foreign nations shut
out its pork, wheat or other products.
Not long since the senate asked the
president to urge the English govern
ment to relax the restrictions upon
American cattle. A class of papers
eagerly improve every indication of in
jury to people in other countries by in
creased American duties to show that
it must be of corresponding advantage
to this country, and convincing argu-
ment in favor of the measure. 1t does
not, however, follow that there is I'M
mixed advantage, or that even the
balance of benefit will come this way.
1t is not only legitimate, but good bust
ness sense, for any people to look be-
yond it's own borders.

THE CONVENTION.

In point of numbers and in respect
able representation the Alliance con-
yention started off very nicely. There
is great congregation of farmers, and
there is some evidence that they are
properly enthused. The speeches yes
terday were of nature to awaken en-
thusiasm and to set the convention ball
in good motion. Yet the body was
somewhat unwieldy because Of its size.
and because, as rule, farmers are not
we'll verSed in parliamentary usages.
A good deal of time was consumed with
the consideration of minor details that
might have been disposed of in much
shorter space if the members had been
accustomed to convention work. The
fact that there were comparatively few
political leaders in the body gave those
few better opportunity to adopt con-
fusing tactics.
The ballot taken last night developed
nothing as to the strength of candi-
dates: nor was it at all Indicative of
what will be done to-day. There is evil
IDENTITY a good deal of rainbow chasing
III the convention; yet it is possible that
the result of last nights caucusing will
bring forth something tangible to-day.
1t would be wild guessing to predict
the outcome of ,ueonyention whose
members are not in condition to know
exactly what they do want. There are
outside influences at work, but it is
hard to tell to what extent they are
operative. Then there is a feeling
among the more earnest and more sim
cere Alliance men that it is an eX-
pertinent they are making, and
it is hard to tell what is the
wisest course for them to pursue,
The Alliance party has no traditions or
precedents which can be taken as a
guide for present or future action.
Consequently, there must be more OF
less perplexity among those who are
honest in their purpose to promote the
welfare of the organization.
Yet in convention where there is so
much Conservatism and such manifest
disposition to stand together there
ought to be wise results. We will see
what we will see.

10 sHORTEN THE TRIP.

There are several schemes on foot to
reduce the time for passengers and
freight to Europe. One of them is to
have the great steamship lines start
from the east end of Long Island, pas
sengers being taken out there by fast
trains and tunnels being run under the
rivers, This will enable travellers to
pass the city without stopping. Another
plan is credited to Boston capitalists,
and involves new seaport on fine
harbor in Nova Scotia. This is to be
named Terminal City, and will shorten
the distance to the water from ST. Paul
and Chicago 400 miles. The time to
Liverpool is put at four days. This
will make st. Paul hardly more than
six days from Liverpool. 1t is believed
that the limit of speed by the great YES
sells has been about reached, and that
the further gain must be on land. Fast
trains and shorter cuts by rail are to be
had to meet the Impotence of the tray
cling public. The quickest routes are
the most popular, regardless of consid-
erationS of danger.

The Worlds Fair Will Be a Great
Moral Show.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 16.-The
subcommittee OH permanent organiza-
ton OF the worlds fair commission met
this morning at the Continental hotel.
The following members of the commit
tee were present: Judge j. A. McKen-
zle, OF Kentucky, chairman of the COM
mittee;, A. T. Ewing. of Chi
eago; j. q. Breslin. of New York;
M. B. Harrison, of Duluth, MINI.
Thomas Cochran, who was chairman of
the finance committee of the centennial
exhibition, met the committee to-day
and gave them the benefit of his expert
ence in that undertaking. Mr.. Wiedner
stated that he had had an interview in
New York with Gen. Goshorn, who was
Encouragement Of the centennial, and
that Ger. GOShOrn said he would be
here Monday to meet the committee.
MIR. Wiedner also said that he informally
preached to Gen. Goshorn the idea of
his assuming the director-generalship
OF the Chicago fair. Mr.. Wiedner
said that Gen. Goshorn did not
seem to look upon the proposition
with much favor. The proposition to
make Gen. Goshorn director general of
the fair met with the strongest APP
prOyal OF the members who are here,
and they are in hopes that the commits
sion will be able to prevail upon him to
undertake the work. The meeting this
morning lasted for two hours. and Mr..
Cochran gave the committee a general
idea of the manner IN which the CEN
tennial exhibition was conducted. In
the course of the conversation the ques-
ton Of keeping the fair open Sundays
arose. On this question the committee
was unanimous, all of them expressing
the opinion that the exhibition should
remain open on the first day of the
week. Mr.. Cochran particularly i'm
pressed upon the committee the neces-
sity of giving the director general or the
fair absolute authority and also the
value of time in preparing for the exhi-
hition

The census supervisor In North Da-
kota puts the population of the state at
about 10000. This is somewhat less
than had been anticipated, as the vote
last October multiplied by gave 1907
400. There has been little increase
since, showing that new region can
vote more than one in FIVE. The popu-
lar vote in any locality is likely to be an
unreliable basis of population, except in
an old community where the figures for
several years are had. The partial fail
ure of the wheat crop in North Dakota
the past five years has retarded It's
growth, but big crop this year will no
doubt renew the prosperous condition
of the early part of the decade. From
1880 to 1885 the population of the terri
tory grew from 135, III to 415.610. The
figures are not given for the separate
divisions, but the bulk of the present
settlers of North Dakota came in the
first half of the decade.
