fore our first ice palace year January
and February w mt by like long night,
and men and women greeted one another
in the spr ng IS though after an absence
during viii III their friends faces had
been lost to sight. Tobogganing and
snow shoeing gladdened the days when
the tier nometer ranged below zero, and
turf ed into gayety what before had
been dark and sad. Now, that we are
surely to have Minnesota winter again,
tits very desirable that we should renew
these instruments for diversion and en-
j0yment. But. as the committee has
suggested. they can safely be LETT to
private and individual enterprises.
Young men and women, who will find
pleasure in this sort of thing, can CO.
operate for its revival, and their mutual
riyalries and competitions will give it
the vitality required for its success.
But the city, as city, and our business
men, as business men, will have their
hands full with other calls more worthy
of their attention and more promising
in their results. We are on the edge of
a period delightful to contemplate and
limitless in its possibilities. and it be-
hooves US to keep ourselves untram-
meled that we may be equal to its de-
mandS.

CAUSES ALARNr ABROAD.

Chicago does not geographically fill
the picture of city set on hill, but
it is the focus of widely extended vision
as the worlds fair city. In view of this
fact, it is unfortunate that interference
was had with the late apparently harm
less although frothy exhibition of So
cialiSm. In this country it would soon
be forgotten and cut no figure, but it
seems to have elected some apprehen-
sion abroad. In most of the European
and other foreign countries they know
of no way of preserving pub
lie order but by an army. AS
there is no standing army in this
country to speak of. it is not realized
that there is any effective and prompt
reliance for the preservation of tran-
guilty in a community infested by
anarchists. The fact that every good
citizen is a policeman and soldier with
out uniform, ready to preserve the pub
JIG peace, is not understood. Chicago
can readily reinforce its police strength
to amply meet any emergency. Then
it has militia able to subject any posi-
bic anarchistic outbreak. Even III St.
Paul it may be remembered how quickly
and effectively the militia responded to 4
call of the authorities the past season
and not even a pugilist offered to re-
move his outer raiment. But repre-
sentative of one of the centralized Eu-
ropean governments expresses alarm al
the Chicago affair as possible menace
to life and property during the exposi-
ton. He says their people were in
vited here bv the president, they do not
know the local government of any city,
and they look to the national power for
safety to themselves and the protection
of property" 1t was unwise, then, SO
far as the effect abroad is con-
cerned, to treat the social fanatics
at Chicago seriously, and magni-
| fy their suffering - into a menace
! to social order. They are but trivial
! fraction of the community, and con-
| frOnted with a vigilant public senti-
ment. In no great center of the old
world, with all the display of organized
| strength by the authorities, would there
| be such security for exhibiting visitors
as in any American city. Berlin is sat
urated with social revOlutionists, and i'll
| Paris they have shown enormous voting
numbers. But the other day the city OF
Lille elected to the chamber of depu.
ties an avowed leader Of anarchists
Still, Chicago will be on its good be
havior until after the exposition. and
there should be prudent repression Of
| whatever may awaken fears abroad.

= HE PAYS THE FREIGHT.

Mr.. Jones has been distinctly snubbed.
Reference is had to Mr.. Jones, of New
York. MIR. Jones who erstwhiie met all
freight charges.-Chicago Evening Post.
sJones, he pays the freight" has been
twisted by the Syracuse Standard into
"Jones, he trays his pate" of which the
translation is, ''JoneS, lie tears his hair"
1t is little unkind to make fun of the
lieutenant governor; it seems as though
he had had trouble enough these last six
months.-New York Times.
1t is our deliberate judgment that
Lieut.. Gov. Jones has been seriously
maligned. The report is sent out from
Albany that he has given his word
that in the event of his being able to
act is governor for little while, he
would not become so eccentric as to dis
turb the existing order of things. New
York Advertiser.
Coming hack to the consideration of
Jones. it will have TO be admitted that
he has not been fairly treated by Gov
Hill. 1t would be a very easy matter
for the gOverDOr-senatort 90 quietly pro-
ceed to Washington to make arrange
ments for entering upon his senatorial
career. and permitting Jones TO be gov
ernoI for few days, lust for the name
of the thing" But Gov. Hill shows no
disposition to do this, proving to tile
average mind that the governor is
mean man himself. or he believes Jones
to be. Which is it?-New Yosx Adj

NOT IN THIS WAY.

One very serious and noteworthy fact
was brought to public notice by the
competition for the Republican national
convention. Gov. MERRIAM's inter
view at Chicago was its first express
sion. but he returned to the subject
again before the national committee,
and the delegates from half a dozen
cities followed his example. ''If you
would save Minnesota for the party,
come to Minneapolis" said he, "because
there is disintegration in the ranks. and
revolt on every side eli you would
G aw~ the fangs of the Tammany
tiger" said Nj. FAsSETT, still lame
from his wrestle with its prowesS,
''come to New York, for even the farm
ers in the interior are deserving our
standard" eff you would save
Michigan" said the spokesman of
Detroit, ''come to the gateway of the
lakes, because the enemyis confident and
has the prestige of its recent victory"
"If you would save Iowa and Ne
braska," said Judge SCOTT, ''come TO
Omaha, because the Democracy's banner
is in the ascendant in these Republican
stronghOlds." From every quarter the
cry of these men telling what they
knew and part of what they had been
was a cry of alarm. and their call call
for help if they were to escape defeat.
The GLOBE thinks that it Is possible
to overestimate the effect of a national
convention as means of party saliva
ton. 1t takes more than the enthusi-
asm and the impressiyeness of such an
event to win and hold the devotion of
intelligent voters. Power and glory do
have an effect on the popular mind, and
men like to be counted on the strong
and dominant side Of fight. But the
farmers of Minnesota and Iowa already
recognize the ability of the Republican
leaders and the strength Of the Repub-
lcan organization. They have not lost
their sympathy with radicallsm because
it has grown weak and puny. The
agrarian revolt which has put BOIEs
in the governors Chair and reduced
MERRIAM's majority to two thousand
is based on principles and not on hur-
rahs. If New York, if Michigan, if
Minnesota, if Iowa. if Nebraska are to
be brought surely and safely into the
Republican column, it will not be by
building big wigwams. hiring big bands
or cheering OH street corners. The Re-
publican party will have to free itself
from the domination of the monODOliSts
if it is to enjoy the confidence and the
support of the farmers.

"RUSS," THE PRINCE.

We congratulate Russell b. Harrison
upon having at length got into a scrape
for which he is not at all to blame
New York Telegram.
The public was just beginning to con-
graduate itself that Prince Russell
Harrison had subsidized. Unfortunately
for this administration, it forgot to
squelch Russy's family also when it
suppressed the young man himself
Chicago News.
Mrs. Russell Harrison's cousin has
utilized her in most notifying way as
an advertisement for his novelty store.
Up to date nobody seem to have dis
covered any way, notifying or other
wise, in which Russell can be made
useful.-ChicagO Times.
Today'S dispatches from Mount Pleas
ant, To-, inform the world that Mrs.
Russell B. Harrison, the wife of the
presidents son. IS in that city visiting
with her cousin, Mrs. }. Z. Bowman,
whose husband has just opened a nov
city store. The dispatches state further
that the Mount Pleasant Journal prints
the following advertisement: pres
ident Harrison'S sons wife is spending
few days at JIG. Bowman's and will be
pleased TO meet the Mount Pleasant peO-
pie. Everybody cordially to call
at their novelty store and meet this dis
tinguished lady" The incident adds
one to the many previous illustrations
of the tendency of this Republican adj
ministratiOn to become involved in
business enterprises. This case is,
however, differentiated from some
Others by the fact that our impusive
friend, Russell b. Harrison, does
not appear to be in any way responsible
for it.-ChicagO Telegram.

NEEDS INVESTIGATION.

1t has been charged that the old world
has done good deal of business in the
way of dumping its criminals and pau
pers into this country. Confirmatory
facts have not been wanting, and at
least nominal provision has been made
to check the unfrIendly work. In july
a commission of five members was sent
over to Europe to look into the matter
and see how the investigation business
was conducted. They were heard Of
occasionally as having nice things
thrown IN their way and enjoying a
good time. They did not frequent re-
sorts where kid gloves were out of
place, and had no knowledge of the
language Of the countries they
visited. Naturally they found things
lovely and the authorities clever people
who would not do anything that
was not nice. One of them however,
who seems to have been selected by
some mistake. had the singular notion
that picnic was not exactly their mis-
sion, and. in a complete disguise, gave
his associates the slip and visited the
resorts OF the emigrants He was one of
them and acquired information rapidly.

ment authorities may not have

FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

1t looks now as if the Democrats
would control the senate of the New
York legislature. The larger body they
have by safe majority, but there has
been doubt as to the senate. One Re-
publican reported elected has died, but
the canvassing board has found that the
Democrat was really elected. In an
other district the Republican candidate
is held by the legal authorities to be
resident of Canada and not eligible. 1t
is expected the Democrat will be given
the seat. These changes will give the
Democrats sixteen out OF the thirty-tWo
members, with the casting vote of the
lieutenant governor. Another seat will
be contested, as the Democrat was
elected by one vote OH the face of the
returns, and manipulation of the can
yassers put the one vote on the other
side. There will be all sorts OF imputa-
tons and party Mutations whatever the
facts and equities. The Republicans
have lost both branches of the legisla-
ture but once since the war, and they
can least Of all afford TO lose them now
when they peed United States senators,
for it will be the duty of the legislature
TO make the appOrtionments for the leg

A WISE PROGRAMME.

The joint committee having in charge
the c0l0mem0ratiOn Of ST. Paul's semi
centennial anniversary shows good
judgment IN deciding to omit the carni-
va feature from the exercises. A dig
nid8d and serious indoor celebration,
including speeches. songs and specta-
cles, vii be much more in keeping with
the character Of the event and the spirit
Of the times. The display and uproar
Of masked balls and cOstumed process
sions properly enough accompanies a
boom era, when men are reckless be-
cause their prosperity is great beyond
their eXertiOnS. Bat now, when the
city's mind is bent earnestly on sub
stantial progress, and our people are
laying deep foundations on which to
raise structures Of permanent and GEN
eral value, friyolty and rioting seem
little out OF place. Our best energies
as a community are needed for higher
things. We want TO secure factories,
not for their temporary eject Oh
town lots. but to provide employment
Tor honest Iaborers, and to increase
the returns Of industry. We want to
add TO the number and variety Of our
jobbing houses that they may supple
ment each other and all grow from the
contagion of each Others effort and de-
velOpment. We want to build a public
auditorium in which great gatherings of
one kind and another can be acc0mmo-
dated. We want to work first to yet the
Democratic national convention for st.
Paul, and next to welcome Its delegates
and provide them with facilities for the
convenient transaction IF their bust
ness. All these things have a definite
significance tor us as municipality
and mean expansion and enlarged i'm
portance. They VIII consume all the
leisure which we can spare from our
regular duties and all the money
the generous can afford TO contribute.
The gentlemen who advocate the re-
Viyal OF carniYa clubs along with this
are on the right track also. Two mild
winters have made us forget the rigors
of our climate, ana the danger that the
cold season may pass in gloom unless
something is done to brighten it. Be

WOLVES IN CHICAGO.

1t has long been understood that Chi

Straightway Chicago gets up a little

reioices in fire or a cyclone. or maybe
robbery. Chicago Immediately dupli-
Gates the feat. And SO on. The latest
direction in which the worlds fair city
has shown her ability is in getting up a
wolf hunt, just to show the Twin Cities

and so Monday she discovered one in
the heart of the residence district. So
far the two experiences agree. But it
was in the sequel that Chicago rose
superior to the other city. She chased
her wolf, and caught it, too. and she
didn't allow it to stop long enough to

THE sAGE's THANKSGIVING.

As to the future of Minnesota las an agri-
cultural and manufacturing state" we
have been building the pyramid of our pros
perity upon It's apex. instead of upon its
base The business men have lourished
while the producers have suffered. We have
palatial residences and all the other accom-
paniments of wealth in our cities, while the
men whose industry alone brings any wealth
into the state are covered with mortgages
and struggling in adversely. The result
has been an unnatural growth Of the towns,
and compar alive decrease of population in
the agricultural regions in the older settled
parts of the state. And when the farmers
have sought to remedy these evil conditions
by legislation we have found the upper
classes of the cities arrayed almost solidly
against US. We can neither obtain a reduc-
ton of interest on money to the same rate
paid in the cities; nor laws for the proven
ton of nsury; nor laws to stop the eom5ina-
tons of the wheat dealers to fix the price
of our great staple at figures below its trne
value; nor laws TO stop the collection, from
the producers, of Sl0,009.0D0 annually to pay
interest on ''watered STOCK" or any other
remedial legislation demanded by the pro-
ducing class. The number in the cities who
are interested III these unjust conditions are
but a few score, but they manage to make
the bulk of the city population believe that
it is a work of righteousness to help other
parties to plumber the farmers. Min
nesota's great industry. l might almost
say its only industry, is agriculture. Our
manufactures are, thrse-fourths of them,
sold to the farmers; the profits of our mining
operations go to swell the fortunes of non
resident capitalists; but every dollar earned
and saved by the agriculturists is a dollar
added to the permanent wealth of the whole
state, and every dollar stolen from them is
loss 10 all citizens of the towns and villages
as well as to the farmers If agriculture is to
flourish in Minnesota justice must be done
to the farming class. Pardon this hastily
written letter. and believe me to be, very

Hon. Henry Feig. Kandiyohi's representa-

city yesterday. He was called to the city to
look after some business matters, and natur-
ally drifted around TO the Clarendon, where
he dned with a number of friends. The
evening was spent at the Metropolitan in
company with Henry Johns and D. L. Reese.
The popular member from Ex-Lieutenant
Governor Riee's bailiwiek declared that he
had great many things to be thankful for,
as had also his fellow farmers in that fertile
section of the commonwealth.
Il do not think there has been a Thanks
giving in years. said Mr.. Feig, when the
farmers in Minnesota had so much to feel
good about. The crops have been extra
ordinarily good, aud the prices at which they
have been and are being sold are higher than
for some time. With a good solid winter and
lots of snow anticipate a good crop next
year, in which event 1 can assure you the
farmers of Minnesota will come very near

SOME of the papers in the East with

that it is more brutal than the prize ring,
