WORLDS FAIR APPROPRIATION.
Contrary Views Expressed.

"The sum appropriated may not be
enough in commissioners Judgment:
if not, let them adjust the expense of
the exhibit to the sum appropriated,
or give way to larger-minded men" y
LeSueur Sentinel.
Mr.. Green, Minnesota is great
state-the commissioners feel they
would like to represent her greatness
co-equal with any state in the Union.
The stinginess of the appropriation
by the Legislature is inadequate to
enable the commissioners to do so.
If the appropriation was left to larger
minded men than passed the appro-
priation of $4,000, Minnesota would
be creditably represented at the
Worlds Fair.-St. Peter Tribune
AS we said before, there is no neces-
witnessed the holding Of the finest
and most extensive state fair ever
known in the history of the state.
The total expense for premiums, null
tiplicity of employees and extensive ad-
vertising was only one-half the sum at
the disposal of the commission. The
expense of the Minneapolis exposition
will be within the limits of the
Worlds fair appropriation, while
many county and district fairs have
made displays that would do the state
honor, even at Chicago, for One-twen-
tieth the sum available for that pur-
pose. If every article exhibited at
Chicago by the state was brought out
right at its real value the total cost
would leave respectable margin for

seNatives, minus the club house ac-
commodations and the brass band
Monkoto Revieto,
Here is an editor who evidently
has allowed prejudice to unthrone rea-
son. If this calamity had fallen upon
him through excessive study of some
great reform whose solution would re-
suit in boon to mankind, it would
feel sympathywithhim; but when it is
a direct result of hatred and jealousy
of contemporary who champions the
opposite side of the question under
consideration, the world will look on
unmoved by one pitying sigh of SYM
pathy.
That reason has fled from the mind
Of this editor is shown by his argu-
ment. The state fair has succeeded,
says he. But how? By letting privi-
leges, some of which were not to the
credit for the management charging
for entries. space and admission. The
board of Worlds Fair managers have
no such resources at the command.
They cannot participate in the gate
receipts, or in the income from the
sale OF privileges. There will be no
revenue whatever, but all will be out
lay. If the Mankato Reuie,V reflects
the preponderence of opinion in this
state on the matter of an exhibit at
Chicago, why then. in that case, of
course, it will be advisable to drop the
attempt to raise an additional sum,
but the NeaUs believes real sentiment
is in the opposite direction.-M Moor

THE FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD.
Success of the Efforts to Scotch Bad
Baking Powders.

The aggressive war Waged by the
Royal Baking powder Company upon
the hosts of adulterated and impure
baking powders sold throughout the
country is having desirable effect.
The Scandalous attacks upon the
Royal company by the manufacturers
of the impure goods (which are made
doubtless both from spirit ofrevenge
and in the hope of breaking the effect
of the damaging exposures show that
they are hit, while the Official reports
which have come from various public
authorities fully corroborating the
statements made by the Royal COM
pany, have awakened a wholesome
public sentiment in favor of repreS-
siye laws, which means mischief to
the Legitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder Company
set out some time ago to expose the
character and to break up the sale of
adulterated baking powders. Having
found from an examination of many
speci mems that there was large
number of actually injurious powders
in the market, they brought the mat
ter before the public and denounced
the makers by names in the press and
to the health authorities. The affair
was taken up by physicians, Boards of
Health, and Legislatures throughout
the country, chemists were employed
to test the various powders in the
market, and the government itself
directed analyses to be made before it
would purchase the supplies needed
for army, navy, and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges
made by the Royal company. Not
only were the majority Of baking pow
ders in the market found to be largely
adulterated, but many Of them were
ascertained to contain alum and other
poisonous ingredients to such an eX-
tent as to render them positively I'M
safe for use in human food.
In making the charges the Royal
Baking Powder Company did not hest
tate to enter into competition with
every other baking powder in the
country, and tits a public satisfaction
that in the official test by the govern
ment and State chemists and by
Boards Of Health, the Royal Baking
Powder has been declared to be the
superior of all others in strength.
purity and wholesomeness, and absolu-
tely free from all inferior or detri-
mental substances.
From recent official reports it is
evident that the alum and otherwise
impure goods have again come upon
Ethe market in dangerous quantities
and their old enemy, the Royal, is
again upon the warpath. In continu-
ing it's warfare against these goods
the Royal is meeting with the old
time opposition and abuse. The
public, however, will appreciate, as
heretofore, both the object of the
abuse and the action of the Royal
company and award full justice tc
the company that so fearlessly stands
up for its protection from such adj
| yenturerS.

OF A LASTING CHARACTER.

The following from the Slayton
Gazette shows that the honor that
Mr.. Lind has earned in congress will
stay with him:
By his own efforts Mr.. Lind has de-
veloped the strong intellectually
with which nature has endowed him
and has gained for himself a position
in the legal profession second to none
in the state. He has always taken
the side OF the weak and oppressed
and against wealth and power He
is thorough student, and whatever
subject he investigates, he probes to
its depths. This enables him to
handle public questions of the day
with no small degree of ability and,
for young man, he is considered
among his colleagues in Washington
as one of the brightest mem bers of the
house. Mr.. Lind is plain, honest,
every day man who despises tinsel,
glitter and show, and one in whose
company the humblest citizen can
feel perfectly at ease. The retire
ment Of such man is a public loss
to the district and to the state.
While he has enjoyed congressional
life for the opportunities it offered
for studying the public questions of
the day and Of gaining professional
knowledge that otherwise he would
not acquire, yet congressional life has
not been agreeable to him. To man
of his unassuming disposition the
pomp and snobbery of official life at
Washington is very distasteful.

THE Supreme court of Minnesota
has rendered a very important decision
on the question Of dealing in futures
in grain. The gist Of the decision is,
fhat dealing in futures, is gambling,
md contracts thus made are void for
Ilegality. The decision holds in the
Yllabus that contracts for the sale
and delivery of grain or other COM
modities to be delivered at a future
ilay are not per Sc unlawful when the
parties in good faith intend to perform
them according to their terms. But
contracts in form in future delivery
not intended to represent actual
transactions, but merely to pay and
receive the difference between the
agreed price and the market price for
3 future day. and in the nature OF
Eagers ,on the future price are void.
This decision should tend to restore
1he court to the confidence of the Far
mers' alliance who have regularly op'
eosed the wheat pit, and who have on
more than one occasion denounced
Supreme courts in general.
