DULUTH, like St. Paul and Mime
apolis, left nothing undone to give the
800 visiting editors right royal time
during their stay in that city of won
derful development. Bro. Bowen Of
the Ne,cs and Mr.. NJ. B. Harrison, of
the Worlds Fair Commission, came
to ST. Paul to arrange for the comfort
and convenience Of their guests while
en- route, and they performed their
work with "neatness and dispatch"
On arriving at,the Zenith City every
body took hold with will to make
the editors feel at home, and that
they succeeded is attested by the
many compliments paid the citizens
for the hospitable manner in which
all were treated. Duluth is not to be
outrivaled in doing the handsome"
even by her older and more preten-
tious neighbors.

MANKATo FREE PRESS
FRIDAY, JULY "a, 1891.
A NUMBER of the state papers have

A NUMBER of the state papers have
issued Chairman Heatwole's resig-
nation as chairman of the Re-
publican State Central commit
tee, but thus far without the know
ledge or consent of Mr.. Heat
wole. The FREE PRESS admires the
editor of the Northfield Neacs. 1t
recognizes in his writings an indie
pendence truly refreshing and some
what unusual as party papers go. 1t
happens to know that the chairman
of the Republican committee is keen
ly sensitive of a slight, is too honora-
BILE to stoop to questionable political
methods, and too self-reSpecting to be
arbitrarily dealt with without a Wig
orous protest. There are two ways of
looking at Mr.. Heatwole's position,
both of which have their champions.
He, as editor of a paper occupies one
position, and to fill that sphere hon.
orably it is his right, not to say duty,
to speak his convictions. As chair
man of the committee of great po-
litical party he occupies an entirely
different station and one far removed
from that of the editor. The question
at issue resolves itself into the some
what complex proposition as to
whether Chairman Heatwole can JUS
tify Editor Heatwole in criticising a
very prominent political leader in his
own party whose candidacy for re-
election to the office of United States
Senator is acknowledged, and at the
same time maintain ''the eternal fit
ness of things" To many, and the
argument is by no means without
force. Editor Heatwole could write
with more freedom and effect and
with less seeming embarrassment if
relieved of the Craftsmanship of par
ty organization. Such course would
Immediately disarm his critics and
give more weight and credence to his
writings among those who have not
the pleasure of his personal acquaint-
ance, although it might have no
weight with those of his friends who
know his unselfish nature and who
believe most implicitly in his good in
tentions. Mr.. Heatwole's present
position is of delicate nature, but
his good judgment may be fully de-
pended upon to steer him Alright, and.
as we believe, in the channel of pop
ular approval. We hope at least that
such will prove the case.

THE gathering of editors in st. Paul
last week from every state and terri
tory in the Union, and from parts of
Canada, was an event that VIII long
be remembered. Not alone will the
footprints of the meeting remain as
pleasant memories with the members
OF the fraternity who enjoyed the
lavish hospitality of progressive city
but as well will st. Paul recur to the
event with feelings of pride and salts
faction. Never in the history of this
country has there been such a gather
ing together of prominent journalists,
and never was the hand of welcome
more generously extended to delega-
tion Of men in any calling than that
reached forth by ST. Paul in recogni-
ton Of the visiting strangers. The
sessions Of the association were thor
Oughly interesting and instructive to
members Of the craft, and through
The deliberations much good to the
profession will come. While St. Paul
covered herself with glory in enter
tanning the editors. those who missed
visiting Minneapolis and sharing the
hospitality of that superb city, failed
to meet some Of the most wide-awake,
generous hearted citizens that ever
.graced a community, and further
missed rare opportunity of seeing
one of the handSOmeSt, busiest, and
most attractive cities on the CONT
nent. Minneapolis is all and more
than she boasts herself to be. She i:
the pride of the Northwest, anG
through the prompt response of hel
citizens, strangers are made to ap
preciate her worth as manufacturing
as well as commercial center. The edi
tors who visited the sister twin were
Justly lavish with high compliment
over the treatment received, and lef
with desire to see the next Nationa
Republican convention held within
the portal of her domain. Wha-
st. Paul and Minneapolis cannot
think OF in the way of entertainment
for their guests no other cities neet
attempt. They occupy the Who'll,
field and leave nothing to be wished
for or thought of. The editors wer,
wise in their age and generation in
coming to Minnesota to hold a con
ventlon of such magnitude and i'm
portance.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. July15.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Julyl5, 81.
Editor Free Press:
BY annually printing the following
formula a New York paper has given
its name to remedy which was used
with great success at the last cholera
visitation of the commercial metrop-
oils. As yours will be the first paper
to lay it before Northwestern readers,
1 think we may cali it the FREE
PRESS Cholera Mixture:'
Rex Tincture rhubarb,
opium or laudanum,
capsicum or cayenne pepper,
Essence peppermint,
Spirits of camphor,
equal parts (about 2 drachms) of
each. Dose, 20 to 40 drops, in water:
Sweeten to taste.
~
1.-THE Review of Reviews gives a
fairly good portrait of Gen. A B. Net
Teton, to whom Secretary Foster has
committed the enforcement of the re-
strictive immigration laws, together
with sketch of the work, which has
been undertaken with system and
thoroughness never before impaired
to it. General Nettleton is suffering
from overwork, and has gone to the
eastern shore of Maryland for a few
weeks rest.
~
Tho oil Wochinntnr pf
the President, who has opened tenn
porary White House at Cape May; of
Secretary Blaine at Bar Harbor, and
the frequent absence CT other Cabinet
members illustrate how much of the
routine work of the government is
carried on by subordinates. The old
ship Of state sails on in all sorts of
weather, no matter who is at the
helm, and after more than hundred
years cruise is still staunch and sea-
worthy.
'In spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea-
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
our latin triumphant Ger our tears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!'
~
Expectations of an unusually warm
summer in Washington have been
agreeably disappointed so far. There
have been but few hot days, and the
rain upon the just and unjust has not
been withheld. A lady who went
from here to Iowa thinking that it
would be cooler, found the thermom-
eter there at 102, which is several de-
grees higher than has been experience
ed here this season.
~
Things seem to be changing some
what. 1t used to be thought that the
Northwest was the special habitat of
billiards. and cyclones: yet Roscoe
conkling died from exposure in biz
Zard in the streets of New York, and
the cyclone is doing it's deadly work
in the Sunny South. 1t is to be hoped
that Uncle Jerry will not allow Sec
tional considerations to influence his
management of the weather bureau.

The Water Wheel at Night,

For years the question as to whether
water wheels run faster at night than
during the day has been catalogued
among ''the things that will never be
settled" Surely the answer is: They
do; that is, if they are so geared as to
be affected by the varying fullness and
speed of the current in which they are
set. There is no doubt that all springs
are fuller and all streams carry more
water at midnight than they do at noon.
In the first place, the increased cool
ness of the air prevents evaporation and
drying up of the small tributaries; and
in the second place, the condensation
of the moisture in the air, in the shape
of dew, is always sufficient to add
something to the stream and its
branches; heavy dews are often so
copious as to be equal to slight shower.
We often hear dew drops falling
from overloaded leaves, and find ev-
cry exposed object loaded with drops
Of water. A large part Of this gets into
the minute channels, which conduct il
to the streams Often the effect upon
shallow river is very noticeable in
deed, and therefore wheel turned by
such a river would go appreciably
faster by night than by day.-St. Louis
Republic.

Romance of a Ring.

The romance of a ring, ending in It'd.
ings of long missing son, has come to
the surface in Scranton. When City
Engineer Blewitt attended the state
flremen's convention at Chester, he
met George Sykes, of Swarthmore.
Sykes informed him that he had in his
possession ring which Reese f. Davis,
formerly of Scranton, had traded with
him just before battle in West Vir-
ginia, in 1865, in which Davis was kill
ed, and that he was anxious to commu-
nicate with Davis relatives with view
Of sending the ring to them. A few
days after the appearance of this state
ment John r. Davis, of Pittston, and
William Davis, of Bellevue, father and
nephew, called on Blewitt and learned
for the first time the story of his sons
death. Scranton Truth.

What Are National Airs.

There seems to be a rather mixed
idea with the average American as to
what particular pieces of music are ma
tional airs. The majority of them are
familiar with "God Save the Queen"
Get to the words of my Country, it's
of Thee" and '"The Red, White and
Blue" which is an English air, but
when an original American air is
reached there are many who fail to
recognize it. When the Strauss or
chestra reached that stirring national
hymn, THE Star Spangled Banner" a
rather pretty lady in the audience
nodded her head with q smile of appre-
citation and said: II do think those
Strausses compose such pretty music.
I think that last piece was the best Of
the lot" It looks very much as il
Yankee Doodle" would remain the
national air for some time to come in
the face of such convincing evidence.
