ness men of st. Paul is evidenced by
the manner in which they are handling
the educational convention. This con-
ention will be held in July, an d al
ready every school teacher and educa-
tionallst within the Union has received
some literature respecting it and the at
fractions for tourists in and about st.
Paul. President Garfield, of the Edu-
cational association, has been so i'm
pressed with the amount of hustling
done to insure the success of the con-
Vention that he writes the local secre-
tary: 1.-The advertising certainly eX-
ceedS in quantity and quality anything
ever done for the association before"
Gov. Merriam delivered speech be-
fore the Twin City Commercial club
Monday evening. Up. TO now there
have been no charges made that it was
written by some one else. Is that be-
cause it sounded somewhat like home
production?
Hon. c. 7. Peterson, of New Ulm, is
spending a few days in st. Paul. He
speaks very strongly in advocacy or
railroad from the Twin Cities to tap
Southwestern Minnesota. If such a
road were built ST. Paul and Minneap-
oils would secure the whole business OF
that portion of the state. which is now
obtained by Chicago. The merchants
would like to purchase lii the Twin
Cities; they could get their good
cheaper than in Chicago; but the
freight rates of the Omaha and North
western roads practically prohibit the
trade.
". F. Phelps will be known as secre-
tary of the Manufacturers Loan and
Investment company, and not as the
secretary of the Industrial union. The
real work of securing manufactures
for the city will be done by the loan
and investment company, and, in Mr..
Phelps opinion, the Industrial nnIon
will solely hold meetings, at which
special addresses can be delivered in
advocacy of introducing certain facto-
ries and for the instruction of its MEM
berS. These meetings will be OF a pop
ular character, and probably held every
two weeks.
Henry Willard has been kind enough
to inform the people of st. Paul that he
is about to erect central electrical
power station, but there are many per-
sons who would like TO know some
thing about those "other big enter
priseS." What are they? When may
we expect them to materialize? These
are questions which the realty dealers
would like to know aWfnlly much.

Prof. Brewer, Of Mississippi fame,
says his book Oh the true source of the
river will be published shortly. He
proposes to give an account of every at
tempt that has been made to discover
the true source of the Father of Waters,
following this up with his own re-
searches III the ItaScan basin.
The citizens of st. Paul. as we'll as
those of the state at large, are indebted
to Judge Flandrau for the authentic ac-
count he has given of Joe ROlette'S sue
ceSSful scheme to Illustrate the removal
of the state capitol from st. Paul to st.
Peter. Judge Flandrau's address, as
printed III yesterdays GLOBE, will be-
come more valuable with each succeed
ing year. Imagine, if you can, what
st. Paul would have been but for Joe
Rolette's nerve. A prominent citizen
yesterday remarked that no city in the
Union secured more benefit from the
capitol being located there than did st.
Paul. If that is so, the progress of ST.
Paul is not solely dependant on Henry
Willard: there must now also be con-
sidered Joe Rolette.
Dr. E. X. Amoss is one of the most
prominent professional men on Day
toms bluff What he says should carry
with it certain amount of weight, and
it is encouraging TO know that in his
opinion Fred Bott, the Democratic can
didate, will poll more votes than the
Republican and syndicate candidates
combined.
II. F. Stevens reports that at present
nothing is being done to push the public
library scheme, and that the whole
question will remain in allegiance until
the return of prominent citizens from
the South. 1t looks very much as if ST.
Paul were not going to get public
library which would be worthy of the
city. There was squirt made to work
I'D enthusiasm among it's citizens. Three
or four of them came down with hand
some subscriptions, committees were
appointed by the chamber of commerce.
and since then the subject has been
allowed to quietly drop. w. p. Murray
was not far wrong when he said the
fault of the members of the chamber of
commerce was that Invariably they
went off half-cocked.
