A Memorial to Congress.
The Minnesota Editorial association in spe-
cial session in Washington city, June II, 1880,
representing $50 journals published in that
state, and expressing the unanimous sentiment
of the people of the whole Northwest, respect
fully presents to the congress of the United
States the following memorial Believing that
the waterways of the country should receive
thoughtful consideration at the hands of con-
gress, and that ample appropriations should
be made for all clearly necessary improve
ments, we beg to direct renewed attention to
the demand of the great Northwest for the
enlargement of the Sault Ste. Marie locks and
canal and improvement of Hay lake channel,
and we earnestly petition for the immediate
massage of the senate bill for that purpose
which has been favorably reported by the COM
mittee ON rivers and harbOrs and is now pend
ing in the house. A vast and rapidly develop
ing region urges this measure with united
voice, which cannot be ignored if the CONNER
cal and agricultural interests of the people
who inhabit that region are to be properly
considered.
The Ride Back to Chicago.
Friday, June IS, at p. M, the editors
gathered at the Baltimore and Ohio pas
senger station and said goodbye to all
their friends in Washington. Mrs. Sen
ator Davis was on hand with box of
roses for the ladies, and the Minnesota
congressman found time to run over
from the capitol, near by, and shake
hands all around. The ride back to Chi
cagO, over the mountains in West Vir-
ginia. and through the forests and farms
in Northern Ohio and Indiana, was
a striking contrast to the four days Of
sightseeing in and around Washington,
but when Chicago was reached, on Sat
urday, June II, at about p. M, all
members of the party were ready for an
other period OF pleasure in the city, and
the remainder Of the afternoon and up
to IL o'clock at night was devoted to
visiting stores, theatres, hotels and
other public places Of more OF less in

at Elma, Iowa, Major T. Nj. Newson
addressed the editors and thanked
them in a sincere manner for secur-
