CHICAGO HAS IT.

Chicago has won the Worlds Fair
prize, and the whole Northwest unltes
with the people of the Windy CITY in
congratalating them on their splendid
victory. 1t was tremendous struggle,
but Chicago was equal to the occasion.
New York. with all her none, and in
nuence, was in the fight but a short
time. st. Louis had not enough cour
age, while Washington had nothing to
commend it for the honor save the fact
that it was the capital Of the nation.
The fight was Won before the first bal
lot was taken. 1t was not all left to the
contest of Monday. When Chicago Fl, st
made her claims for the honor, New
York laughed, and so did St. Louis and
Washington. but that made little diff
ference. Chicago was determined to
& get the prize. and 80 she began to hus
tie. The great Northwest backed her
up, and the result was that the victory
was won almost without struggle. To

WHERE ARE TIE BIGOrs NOW 2

"A committee has been formed in
London with branches at Newcastle
and other places, for the purpose of en-
deavoring to secure mitigation Of the
severe treatment accorded to political
prisoners in Siberia. A number of
workmen's clubs and Radical and So
cialist associations will hold demon
stration in Hyde Park on March 9, in
favor Of the prisoners now in exile in
Siberia.''
To be consistent, some papers ought
TO oppose this, particularly some of the
anti Irish organs of Minneapolis. Thew
have en- enemies of the Irish National
League, so far as the maintaining of a
branch of that organization IN this
country was concerned. They were so
bigoted that they could not see that it
was in the name OF humanity that the
Irish Americans of this country stood
side by side and helped Parnell to fight
Salisbury. B flour and his removables
No one but a man absolutely devoid OF
feeling would speak hard of any BODY

that opposed the interference of Irish
Americans in Irish affairs jump up and
denounce the London and American
workmen for interfering with the Rus

to the truth Of it. 1t may appear to
some of these heartless wretches, whose
good luck it has been not to know very
much, for if they did they would do
harm, that an eviction in Ireland means
very little. If carried out as in Mime

Knowing the trials and hardships That

sympathize with the unfortunate pri-

THE bill making Minneapolis sub
port of entry and delivery has passed
congress, and will soon become law.
This means a good deal for Minneap
oils, more than the average citizen
would at: first thought suppose. 1t
means that Minneapolis merchants,
who are now getting their goods cleared
at the sea coast by brokers, can have
that done in Minneapolis for almost
nothing. Professional brokers. like
lawyers, charge good round fees for
their work, and when this bill becomes
law Minneapolis merchants will not be
obliged to pay New York and Boston
brokers for what they can do themselves
right at home; neither will they be
obliged to run to St. Panl every time
they get piece of Irish frieze or a box
of tea to pay the duties and get their
goods released. All of that business
will be transacted right here in Mime
apolis. In addition to the benefit it will
be to the merchants, it will be great
advertisement for the city. Export
entries headed Minneapolis" will ac-
company all shipments of -four to
foreign ports, and this will be one Of the
greatest ''ads'' that Minneapolis could
get in this line. The SUPPORT will bene.
fit Minneapolis very much.

The Faux County Times figures it
out in this shape and it will prove to
be about correct: "There was present
at the Huron Independent conven-
tion 496 delegates, and the total mum.
Der, had all been in attendance, would
have been probably 600. Representa-
tion in the convention was on the ba
sis of one delegate to every twenty-five
members, whether voters ornot. Aa-

which Of course in not the case, this
would give 15, 900 alliance and knights
OF labor votes represented in the con-
vention. Supposing that the third
party, movement will control all OF
these, and supposing by the time Of
the election there shall be an increase
of 5,OOO-neither of which PROPOSE
tions is probable--the total strength
of the movement would he 10000.
Now suppose every one Of these would
come from the republican party, which
of course they would not, 1t could still
win by 10000 majority, because in
the last election here were 54. 900 re-
puplicans and 1000 democrats. Ii
the republicans should loose the
10000 referred to, they would still
have $4,000, and the democratic
party, 24,OO and the third party
10000.

An Apology.

We would like to impress upon the
minds OF the readers of the Repubi
can the responsibility and the very
peculiar position q newipaper man is
placed in when trying to give all che
news in the vicinitr. A writer Is often
informed Of something which be has
to take for granted as to the truthful
ness. We owe circuit Judge Andrews
an apology owing to the groundless
scorching we gave him couple of
weeks ago, Wewere alittle too hasty
in this, taking the say so OF two for q
penny grab sheets wrangling for
facts. We had no business to do so
and did this without any aid from
our friends, bat the ducks on the other
side OF the fence are trying to make
the Judge think that our frie nds had a
finger in the pie. None of our friends
knew anything about it until it ap.
peared in print. We admit that we
were laboring under afalse impression
and nobody is ever more willing to
right q wrong than We are. Thus we
say that what we ehave said about the
judge was entirely out OF place and we
are liable to q fine yet, we viii correct
any part of our editorial necessary,
or if the Judge SO desires we will take
80 days in the soup house. CLARK

Reaper Trial.

LOCKWOOD & Brooke gave public
exhibition last Friday, OF the work
which the Woods Single Apron and
Woods Rake Elevator Bindees. were
capable OF doing. The trial was made
in heavy piece OF winter rye on the
college farm and was witnessed by
several prominent farmers. Thegrain
was green and quite damp and the
ground in very soft condition, owing
to the recent heavy rain, but it made
no apparent difference to the working
of the machines. Both binders per-
formed their task very satisfactorily
and all present were loud in their
praises for the Woods. The Rake ele-
vator is q new device and is out for
trial this season. Itruns much lighter
than the apron binder and does it's
work fully as we'll.

ANOTHER FIRE.
This Time the Fire Fiend Tries to Destroy
the EkkO Office.

Last Monday evening at about 7:30
the engine room OF the Ekko Office
was discovered on fire and the depart
ment was promptly on hand in re.
sponse to the alarm gwen. The hook
and ladder company was first there
and the hose company were close be
hind As soon as the hose could be
adjusted, which required but few
seconds, a strong stream Of water was
playing on the burning building.
The fire originated around the smoke
stack OF the engine, tile hole in the
root, through which the smoke stack
passes, not being large enough to keep
the heat away from the wood. For
tunately the fire was discovered before
1T had made much progress and the
hose company had little trouble in
extinguishing the flames, so that very
little damage was done excepting to
the shed roof of the engine house.
