THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.

They are going to have harvest fes-
tival in Minneapolis to celebrate the
earth's bounty and to rejoice and be
glad over the prosperity which is at
hand for this country, because the grain
is full in the ear and bows to the ground
with weight and richness. They are
going to have harvest festival in Min
neapolis, and the local press has been
loud in its praises of the perfect, and
the business. mems clubs have passed
resolutions Of Endorsement and COM
mendation. Yesterday afternoon
meeting was called to settle the details,
to secure subscriptions and to put the
enterprise fairly on its feet. Nobody
came to this meeting. but that does not
make any difference. They are still
going to have harvest festival in Min
neapolis. But now it is thought that
they may not have it this year. How
ever. if they do not have it this year
perhaps they will have 1T next year,
and if not next year, then some other
year.
This shows that laudatory notices in
the newspapers and we'll worded reso-
lutions of chambers Of commerce are
not without their value. The only
trouble with them is that, if they are
the only engines brought into service,
the object which is aimed at, while of
course sure of ultimate achievement,
is liable to discouraging and indefinite
pOstponements. A guaranty fund of
some reasonable proportions is almost
as valuable thing In securing festi-
val or national convention as the sup
port of either the press or the boards of
trade. The GLOBE wants very much to
see the Republican nominating conyen-
ton Of 1892 held in Minneapolis, and it
hopes that the substantial inducements
which attract such gatherings may be
forthcoming. If it turns out that they
are not, the scheme need not be aban-
doned any more than the harvest fes-
tival will have to be for the same rea-
son. Encouraging editorials and ''where-
asses" and "be it reSolyeds' will GER
tainly accomplish it in the long run.
But the year may not be 1892. 1t may
be 1895 or 1900, and either of these is
little too remote to be satisfying.

Illinois Gettysburg Monuments
Dedicated.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Sept 3.-Illinois
to-day dedicated her handsome monu-
ments that mark the positions held by
her soldier sons on the terrible first day
of July, 1868, with ceremonies that were
complimentary to the living as we'll as
cumulative of the dead. This MORN
ing the veterans crowded into carriages,
and headed by Gov. Fifer and ex-Go1.
Beveridge began tour of the battlefield.
Two hundred and eighty members of
the Illinois Republican club of Wash
ington, d. c., arrived on special train
aud at L o'clock all the veterans and
visitors re-entered the carriages and
proceeded to the monument of the
Eighty-Second infantry on Howard
avenue, where the dedicatory exercises
were scheduled to take place.
EX-Gov. Beverage presided, and in
most happy speech, introduced Gov.
Fifer, who delivered the principal adj
dress. In concluding he transferred to
the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial
association the three monuments.
Hon. Edward Mop berson, directo
in the association and clerk of the Ma
tional house of representatives, ac-
cepted the tribute in speech exceed
ingly complimentary to the Illinois reg
ment, promising that the association
would care for and protect them.
Hon. A. c. Matthews, first comp
troller of the treasury, was intro
duced, and spoke in behalf of
the Illinois association and Hi
nois department Commander Col. l.. NJ.
Clark, made few remarks. This
closed the exercises and the party
broke up and went sightseeing on the
various avenues that rendered all por-
tionsof the battle field accessible. The
Illinois monuments, when completed,
will be ornaments to the position which
they occupy on the first days field.

CONG REss TO INVESTIGATE.

In one Of his recent bulletins Census
PORTER claims the distinction of being
the first of the decennial enumeratorS
who has ever made q count of ''asSes
independent of mules" This honor
should be conceded him without limi-
tations or discounts. The nation has
waited for more than a century in its
periodical enumerations for Mr.. PORTER
to come and aggregate In figures OF its
own the unfortunate species that has
mo pride of ancestry or hope of poster
ltY." Those who ponder over and
elucidate the philosophy Of history
find that the emergencies scattered
along the ages have all been met by
spirits evolved for their use and
expanded to the adequate dimen-
sions. If any have doubted that
PORTER was created for a purpose, and
not, like the tumbleweed. the casual in
cident Of vagrant mood, simply hap
pened along, this idea should be dis
PEELED. 1t is cruelty unllind, however,
to remember that in his enumeration of
asses by localities but one is allotted to
the District of Columbia. Still more OBJ
sometimes makes upin essence and quail
ity what may be lacking in number or
quantity. But the prevalent practice
of saying disparaging things of Mr.
PORTER as a census taker is so easy to
fall into that it would be reprobated if
there were any visible chance. 1t NAV,
however, be assumed that in no
feature of his public work has he
. been so naturally fitted to his task
as in the treatment of the animal with
phenomenal acoustic conveyances.
Among the most recent of his critics
comes the non-partisan committee of the
National Civil Service Reform league.
There are gentlemen of high repute on
this committee, such as RICHARD II.
DANA, of Massachusetts; WAYNE
McVEAGH, of Pennsylvania. and
SHERMAN S. ROGERS. of New York.
They have been investigating the CEN
sus work, and are about to publish
report. 1t is understood that they have
found that Mr.. PORTER has manipulated
the census to subserve the interests of a
political party. Then he has put all the
presidents out of sight in spending mon
ey. The WALKER census decade ago
was the most elaborate and extensive
any government has taken in modern
times, and its cost was put at $4.794, 096.
PORTER has already spent over 81, 000,-
600 and wants congress to give him an
other million to fill out his pro-
gramme. That body will be apt to rip
up things along his track somewhat be-
fore more money is voted him. If there
is partisan manipulation in it, and in
justice to localities or interests, the fact
that the enumeration of jackasses in the
District of Columbia may be impartial
and accurate will not compensate for
willful defects or stupid laundering in
other quarters. Congress will investi-
gate.

SUNDAY ArrHEwoRLD's FAIR

The Sunday question comes up again
this time in connection with the worlds
fair at Chicago. The commission hav-
ing the exhibition in charge has al
ready practically decided that it shall
be open to the public seven days in the
week. At first view this may or may
not seem wise plan, and there surely
are good many intelligent people who
seriously think that it is not. In fact,
it is very likely that if the men, women
and children of this country were in
terrogated on the subject an easy ma
jority would be found against the COM
mission. The argument in favor of
Sunday openings is based on two con-
Siderations. One is that the exhibition
IS primarily educational in its charac-
ter, and that visit to the grounds will
not be inconsistent with the severest
observance of the Sabbath. The other
Is, that the great floating population
which will attend the fair will be much
less likely to do mischief if it can spend
its time on Sunday in quiet sightseeing
than if it is driven to other sorts of rec
reation and amusement.
There is something in this, but not
everything. and the American Sabbath
union. under the leadership of its presi-
dent, ELLIOT f. SHEPARD. has adj
yanced the opposing views at a confer
ence just held in Chicago. The confer
ence says that the example will be bad;
that the sanctity of the Sabbath should
be preserved: that Sunday pleasure
means Sunday work; that Sunday ex-
hibitions are not necessary, and that
they Will lead to excuses and lawless-
ness on the part of the vicious classes.
Col. SHEPARD goes further than this,
and says that if the fair is not closed on
Sundays the Lord will put His curse
upon the enterprise and on the nation,
and that He will send plaques and pes
themes, as He did in the days of
PHARAOH.
Summing up the matter, with the
light thus thrown on it, there does not
seem ODE much occasion for difference
of opinion. The debate is all on the
side of Sunday closing. Plaques and
pestilence, such as they had in the days
of PHARAOH. are things to be avoided
at all hazards. The GLOBE votes against
having the exhibition open seven days
in the week. Let US have no plaques
and pestilenceSs

Archbishop Ireland has approved the

of the Immaculate Conception church, III
rendering parochial school building for use
as a public school. When he was told, yes
terday, of the report that certain Catholics
of Faribault were incensed at Father Con-
roy's action. he replied:

founded fool"

particulars as to the terms of the Transient"

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 3.-The recent
census of the dominion, showing the ex-
treme smallness of the apparent in
crease III population during the past ten
years. formed subject of motion of
want of confidence in the government,
moved by Sir Richard Cartwright in the
house Of commons last night.
Sir Richard charged the government
with having sacrificed the statement as
to the population as contained in the
returns grades during the past few
years, and with having called OH the
general elections in March last, in the
knowledge that if the people could see
how the population had suffered from
the high tariff policy of the past eight
cen years they would have given a diff
ferent verdict.
He pointed out that April 1, 1891, the
population was 4,324,S10. In the ten
years since that time, according to the
reports of the department of agriculture,
S66, III immigrants had settled in Can
ada. Giving the rate of natural increase
at 24 per cent, a figure not too high
when the enormous fecundity of the
French Canadians was considered, the
natural increase in the population, in
Guiding those who had been i'll Canada
in 1891 and the immigrants who had
settled in the dominion since then,
should have been 1,077,531. The popu-
lation, therefore, should have amounted
to 6,404, 944. Instead of that, itamounted
only to 1928, 344, an increase of onlY
504, 534 in ten years.
Sir Richard moved, that the deplor-
able state of things disclosed by the
above mentioned returns Imperatively
demanded radical change in the policy
and methods of the government fol-
lowed by the administration, and bore
out the statements that he had made
upon the platforms of the country for
several years past, that one-third of the
men born in Canada in the last fifty
years had left this country for the
United States, as had also one-fifth of
the women and children born i'll Canada
during the past ten years.

Tended the policy of the goyernm ent.

not be allowed to stop simply because
