IT is reported that the Worlds Fair
committee of the House and Senate
have agreed to fix the amount of ap-
preparation at 100000; to make the
commission of six members to be ap-
pointed by the governor; to make the
g-osarI'nr a member nx-officio: to have
it a part VI orc TIL tha6 tic -s-s.r,,s~,io-
sion shall serve without pay, and
that no part of the appropriation
shall be expended in a building at
the fair. The question is, how are we
to provide fora building. Certainly
Minnesota will not forego the great
Importance Ct a building adequate in
its dimensions to afford space for the
exhibits furnished by the various in
terests to be represented. Money for
such a purpose must be had from some
source, and the committee should be
pretty confident that the funds can
be raised by private subscriptions be-
fore they decide on sum so totally
inadequate to the requirements.

ROBERT CLARK & Co., Publishers,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, have just issued
an art book by Miss Mclaughlin
which is practical manual for the
use Of amateurs in oil painting. In
the volume, she gives lucid state
ment of the scientific theories and
facts relative to colors, treating the
whole subject broadly, as well as tech
nically, This book is also largely re-
alistic, enlarging on the material side
of the subject, the tools which the
student should use, and the best
method of handling them.

SENATOR Craig's reapportionment

SENATOR Craig's reapportionment
bill is going to have an easy time of
it. The joint committee of the
House and Senate Thursday had a
meeting to consider the measure and,
after transferring Anoka county from
the sixth to the fourth district and
Kenebec and Isanta counties from the
Fourth to the Sixth district the bill
was agreed to. Mr.. Craig can con-
graduate himself on having very
nicely adjusted measure which gave
promise of creating no end of strife.

BY many, Senator Donnelly's libel
suit against the Pioneer Press for 800,
600 is considered piece of bluff. The
Sage had to make some sort of de-
mand, and he concluded that the cas-
lest way out was to call for big dam
ages. 1t will tide him over the leg
islative session, and by that time the
public will have lost all interest in
the publication and most all interest
in the Nininger farmer. Ig. is sly
garious chap and as cunning as fox.

SENATOR SHERMAN, in the March
Forum takes the ground that to reject
or neglect the opportunity now offered
to help the Nicaragua Canal would
leave this enterprise to the chances of
failure, or transfer it's control to COM
mercial rivals whose interests and
fixed policy would lead them to con-
vert great highway of nations into a
dependency more formidable than
Gibraltar and more troublesome than
Canada. A commercial company in
India has been converted into vast
empire; the single port of Hong Kong
is made to dominate a great popula-
tion in China the control of the Suez
Canal and of Egypt has been pur-
chased in the stock market-these are
sufficient warnings to the American
people to avail themselves of the Op-
portunity now open to them to protect
their cOastwise trade, and at the same
time with little cost and no risk, to
contribute to the world one of the
greatest achievements of mind over
matter that has ever been undertaken.

IT is thought probable that the
President will use the veto power to
dispose of the direct tax refunding
bill. There is no doubt but the APP
proval of this bill means the entering
wedge for wholesale onslaught on
the treasury In the next congress it
will be followed by the cotton tax re-
funding bill and the manufacturing
taxrefunding bill, the former amount
ing to 100000 and the latter near
ly the same amount. The money
which is apportioned to the several
states will not go to the people who
paid these taxes, as nearly all the
claims have been bought up for a
mere song and the reimbursements
will go to the spectators.

THE Minneapolis Journal very prop
erly suggests that the Minnesota legls-
lature should adopt the anti-free coin
age resolution. 1t will be worth some
thing to the state to show that 1T is
sound on the money question. Capital
will feel that there is one place in the
West where people have sensible no.
tions about finance and be the more
ready to make it's home there. Ii this
legislature will keep out OF the con-
vention called by the Kansas leglsla-
ture to advance the cranky notions
for which that state is becoming
famous, and kill off all the interest
bills and pass this anti free coinage
resolution, it will not have lived IN
vain.

THE burning of the Lumber Elk
change building in Minneapolis was
one of the most serious fires in the
history of that city. Fortunately the
new portion of the structure escaped
and this fact must prove great
source of qualification, as it is one of
the finest buildings in the Northwest.
The loss is placed at $4,000, while
the total insurance foots up to $24S,
900.

THURSDAY evenings journal contains
vote of the Minnesota legislature on
the choice of it's members for Presi-
dent in 1892. The summary shows
Blaine So, Cleveland 81, Owen 10, Don
nelly 6, with few scattering here and
there and 10 nOn-cOmmittal. There
were IA absentees not voting. David
B. Hill had one supporter and Presi-
dent Harrison also rallied one adher-
ent. 1t is wonderful what a hold
Blaine has on the people of Minneso-
ia, and it is equally peculiar how lit
tie interest these is felt for President
Harrison. On the Democratic side
Cleveland appears to be to the follow
ers of that party what Blaine is to the
Republican. Let the country have
these two men to choose between in
1892 and the result will be quite differ
ent from that recorded in 1884. Mr..
Blaine's majority would be so over
whelming as to make the change of
few votes in New York City of no
avail to the Democracy.

Senator Elect Kyle, of South Dako-
