SHE WILL Do IT."

Minnesota is expected TO raise
100000 for the Worlds Fair. She
will do it. The most popular plan
seems to be the note plan. South
Dakota is raising $50, 900 in the same
manner If drouth ridden, grasshop-
per eaten South Dakota can raise $50
600, Minnesota. with three times the
wealth, ought TO raise $4,000 more.
There is not the least doubt but that
the next legislature will be broad
guaged enough to appropriate $780,
600 to reimburse those who signed the
notes. Public sentiment will demand
it at that time. But the commission
must have a positive guarantee to
back them up and they must have it
by the first of the coming year. Min
nesota has been given the most favor
able location on the grounds and if
not accepted by January first some
other state will get it. There are sew
eral applications in for the spot. The
commission cannot accept the grounds
until assured they will have the
money TO make the exhibit. Let each
county get to the front and raise their
amount. Most of it will be spent in
gathering and exhibiting their res
pective productions and resources and
nothing is lost Winthrop Aelrs.

DURING the past two months this
country has shipped 100000 bushels
of wheat to Europe, for which the
New York Press says over SS5, DOC, 900
in gold has or will come back to pay
for it. The prohibiting of further
shipments of wheat from Russia,
ought TO mean that an additional
quantity of our wheat is needed across
the water besides our regular ship
ments. In regard to ocean shipments
the Press says:
One hundred and forty nine steam
ers have actually been chartered to
load grain alone at Atlantic ports
since November L. Prior TO Novem-
Der /. 163 steamers had been charter
ed. Ocean freights have advanced as
a consequence from about five cents
per bushel for Liverpool and Glasgow
on August / TO fourteen cents per
bushel last week.
This extraordinary increase in price
of ocean freights, and the fact that
charters are now made up TO June,
1892, both indicate the prospective
prosperity of the United States COM
pared with which every other nation
on the planet is this year poor indeed.

should have an opportunity to share
in the fish, as well as the few (com-
parativelyl who happened to be near
by.
The further argument, that this
law is designed to save the fish from
the poor for the rich, is no more reason
able. The law'makes no discrimina-
tion in favor of one class, or against
the other. 1t merely recognizes that
fishing operations in the winter be-
fore the sparwing season, are fatal to
the plan Of preserving the fish in the
interior lakes for future use. 1t sees
that in very few years there will be
no game fish left in the lakes for any
body, rich or poor, and it makes it in
cumbent upon all alike, both rich and
poor, to refrain from fishing between
the first day of December and the first
day of April following. We think that
the law is a little at fault in this
point, and that the prohibition should
have been extended to May or June
rather than to permit the fishing to
begin open 1st. However, this is a
minor matter and can be corrected
later on.
The State Fish Commission is sup
piled with funds by the state govern
ment and they are making strenuous
eXertions to prevent any violation of
the game laws. This winter their
secret agents are in every community.
Their officers are fearless and active,
and those particularly interested in
protecting game and fish have given
pledges that the commission shall be
backed up in enforcing the laws.
Let the men who have by fishing
made their living every winter of late
turn their attention to other and more
remunerative employments. Let
those professional fishmen who have
been going from lake to lake ''CleaR-
ing upn Ito use their own expression)
each lake as they go, abandon their
nomadic life. Let them settle down
to some legitimate industry, recogniz-
ed as such law. Let the farmers and
Others who own property on these
lakes, and who are permanent residents
see to it that the names Of yiolators Of
the fish laws are reported to the near
est constableor justice. and if he fails
toact, have him brought before the dis
trict court and stripped of his Office.
1t is no wonder that the long suf-
fering farmers and land owners Of
Minnesota should take an interest
in the enforcement of these game
laws. The old settlers can remember
times when game was plenty, when
fish were abundant. Every man was
a sportsman, and a successful one.
How is it now? And if the present
wholesale destruction of game and
fish continues, how long will it be
until Minnesota is as bare of game
| and fish as Ohio or Illinois? Every
man can answer for himself that il
will be but a very short time. Let
good citizens talk the whole subject
over in every community and all
agree, to themselves observe the laws
and to enforce the same observance in
everybody else.
Don't ship our fish out of the state.
If people want to enjoy the blessings
of life in this Northern Country let
them come up here and live among
US. At any rate we can't afford to
strip our lakes of fish to enrich the
fish dealers and they are the only
people who make any money out Of
this traffic. The fisherman barely
makes living and not good one
either.

A GOOD Indicator of the prosperity

When the railroads throughout the
country show a gain in their earnings
the country as whole is generally

large crop is the cause of it, for while
the movement in grain is large, the
prosperity caused by it begets an in.

les Question Is a Pawn Upon 1t.
LONDON, April IA. G. Morton, NJ
z. for Peterborough. intends this week
TO ask the question which the speaker
prevented him from putting just previ-
Gus to the recess as to the connection
between the Newfoundland fisheries
dlfncu!ty and the English occupation of
Egypt. The idea of any relationship
between the two matters may seem a
far-fetched one, but there is undoubt-
edly widespread notion among the
col0nistS-which the government will
ind it hard work to dispel-that the
fisheries question is simply pawn on
the general diplomatic chess board.
1hey think that, were the relations be-
tween England and France more cordial
on other points, France would at once
assent TO the buying out of her treaty
rights, but that the French government
Is giving the BritOns in Newfoundland
a quld pro quo for what they have done

which the interests of the two countries
have clashed. 1t is this idea which is
at the bottom of the evaporation which
the Newfoundlanders display. and al
though Mr.. Morton is not likely to get
any answer to his question which will
dlsabuse their minds on this point, it is
not lnadviSable that this aspect of the
matter should be brought to the notice
of the house of commons. Meanwhile
there are solid grounds for believing
that the whole question is causing the
greatest anxiety at the British foreign

COOPERATIVE METHOD.

Frequent Changes in the Man
agement of the London Docks
Unsatisfactory.
LONDON, April 12.-Great dissatistac-
tion is being expressed by the London
dock laborers at the frequent changes
which are being introduced into the ad-
ministration of the docks, another alter
alton in the classification of permanent
and preferred men having been made
to-day. The men at most of the docks
are anxious for an extension of the CO.
operative method of work which is
proving so successful at the Albert and
Victoria docks. Some men yesterday
made shilling an hour, and they
feel that they can hardly have as
free hand in this direction if the
companies are to virtually select the
gangs. But more pressing grievance is
that, with the increasing power of the
fOremen and officials, men have to stand
aside who have made themselves prom
inent as members of the union. 1t is
with extreme difficulty that the officials
of the union are preventing the men
from taking precipitate action with the
view of righting themselves. If the
system of dock administration were
less complex and the directors knew
their own minds there would be very
little of the troubles at the docks,

SUGAR UNRESTRICTED.
Spreckels Denies That the Phila.

Strictod

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 12.-Wnh
an emphasis that did not permit of any
misunderstanding, G. A. Spreckles. of
the big sugar refinery, last night placed
the seal of denial upon the latest story
relative to restriction OF the output of
sugar from the local establishments.
The report had its inception in a dis
patch from Boston to the effect that the
fhlladelpnia sugar king had entered
into an agreement with the American
Sugar-RefnIng company, wherebylsthe
nome production was to be limited to
1000 barrels day, in return for which
concession the Havemeyer & Elder coll-
Dlnatlon in San Francisco was to be
closed, thereby leaving Messrs. Spreck-
les IN undIsputed possession of the
racine coast market. "You Tay
say" Mr.. SpreckelS remarked with
calm deliberation and decisiveness.
that the report is absolutely without
foundation. do not know why it is so
frequently revived. In the face of all
we can say the newspapers keep on
bringing 1t up again and again. The
Spreckles refinery will continue to be
operated at its fullest capacity, some
T0O0 barrels of sugar per day. No prop
oSltlon has come to US, either directly or
indirectly, looking to the restriction of
output. No such proposition has been
considered by US, and | would like you
to say,unreservedly, that no such project
would receive the slightest attention
from us. There is positively no reason
Ior circulating such reports, and | do
wish you would deny them explicitly.

Miscellaneous Items Of Inter-
est From the Nations
Capital City.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 12.-There
were no new developments in the ltal-
ian affair to-day, and the reviving inter-
est taken in it, on account of the al
legged intention on the part of the Ital-
ian government to signally display Its
resentment by ceasing to have any
further diplomatic intercourse with the
United States unless this government
shall respond to the communication OF
Premier Rudini within such period as
the Italian ministry is said to consider
as the utmost limit which it can allow
the American government for the max
ing of its answer, has lapsed into dis
position to quietly await what the next
two or three days bring about. There
are very few persons who believe that
anything startling will occur between
now and Wednesday, and high officials
are certainly incredulous as respects
ltaly's reported purpose to take such a
positive step as that of ordering Minis
ter Porter from Rome. Even if should
such an unusual movement be made, it
is SAID that it would probably not result
in actual war, but. only in an almost
complete severance of all relations be-
tween the two countries. 1t is regarded,
however, as almost certain that it would
result in feeling of indignation in this
country which would seriously preju-
dice the prospects of favorable action
by this country on the Italian suggeS-
tions for
ReparatiOn and Indemnity.
The diplomatists, though, would re-
ceive the news of the severance of di-
plomatic relations with profound regret.
for the reason that it would be long
and annoying question, and would call
into question great many matters of
comparatively trit1ing Importance.
Were the intercourse between the two
countries once discontinued it would be
very difficult to bring about its resump-
ton, and only by the cumbersome good
Offices OF some intermediary. and might
result as a similar breach several years
ago between Great Britain and VeneZu-
ella resulted-in the official ignoring by
each country of the fact that the
other existed, through areluctance on
the part of either to make advances
vanished. But it is thought certain
that these complications will not occur,
and the two countries will be again on
harmonious terms. There was nothing
to be learned tonight in respect to the
lOoked-for answer of Secretary Blaine
to the note sent by Marquis Imperial,
and Secretary Blaine had no informa-
ton to communicate to the public on
the subject of the Italian incident.
ROME, April 12.-The Opinione says:
"The news from Washington is the
subject of much comment. If Mr..
Blaine is unable to make categorical
ward request. we can await the con
clusion of such strange silence with
out lamentations or threats. Public
opinion, however, on both sides of the
Atlantic will hardly consider dignifed
such a painful admission of impotence"
