the disappearance of man and young

published IN St. Paul, Mimi, and de-
voted to law, real estate, title, tax,
mortgage loan and kindred interests.
Among other features OF the Register
is the publication each month Of the
names of persons whose heirs are en-
titled to valuable real estate interests in
all parts of the country, with a stated
reward for the locating of such heirs.
Also, an index to the personal adver-
tisements, relating to unsettled estates,
missing heirs and legatees, ETC., that ap-
pear 10 the newspapers throughout the
world each month. The ASSOCIATION. of
which the Register is the organ, has a
large list of legal representatives
throughout the United States and Can
ada, who will transact all business for
the ASSOCIATE )n in the counties which
they represent. There is a wide field
for a journal of this character, and
judging by the appearance of the initial
number, it will prove success Sub

The bank clearings show handsome
increase over last year, and this is
good criterion of how times are. We
have had splendid fruit-crop all over,
and while our strawberry crop was not
as good in Minnesota as it ought to
have been, outside states supplied the
deficiency in good shape. Strawberries
have not been 80 cheap in five years as
they were this summer, and the house
keeper who failed to take advantage of
the low prices by putting up' several
crates will, no doubt, regret it. Peaches
are now coming into the market in
goodly numbers, and fruit-dea]ers say
we will have abundance Of this juicy
fruit. The raspberry crop is better than
for many years past, and the Minnesota
crop is decidedly fine. Altogether we
have reason to be grateful. With a
bountiful harvest in the great North
west we have every reason to look for
ward to very promising fall. If the
broad wheat fields of the Dakotas and
our own state escape serious hail storms
we will see better wheat crop harv-
ested this season than we ever saw be-
fore.

COMMENTING on the result Of the
Carlow election the Boston Pilot says:
1.-The figures are more eloquent than
anv words. In a fair fight and open
field MIR. Parnell has suffered such de-
feat as must convince even him Of the
hopelessness of his case. 1t is idle for
his friends to ascribe such sweeping
overthrow to 'tclerical'' or t*English,"
dictation. When Mr.. Parnell denied
the right of the Irish members to select
new leader, his only logical position
lay in appealing to his and their politi-
cal superiors, the voters Of Ireland. he
made the appeal, and the decision, fore
Swallowed at Kilkenny and elsewhere,
is confirmed so emphatically at Carlow,
that the verdict of a general election
can be anticipated almost literally. 1t
is decisively against Mr.. Parnell and
his claims.'

ZEE STATE FAIR.

The Minnesota state fair will soon be
open to the people Of the Northwest.
Few OF us realize the importance OF this
annual show, and for that reason we
some times know less about the different
exhibits than those people who live out
side our state. A state fair is one OF the
grandest things that we could have. A
union of the great body polite, as we'll
as collection Of the choicest products
from almost every farm IN the state. It
is at the state fair We see what quality OF
cereals and root crops our state pro-
duces. 1t is there that we meet to Coz
graduate ourselves on having such fine
exhibits. The farmer shows his fine
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, as we'll as
samples of his wheat, barley, potatoes
and rye. 1t is there that we can see for
ourselves what our state is made of, and
the kind Of people we deal with. The
state fair is concentration SO to speak
Of the states products, and where is
there anything that should interest us
more. 1t costs Minnesota large sum
Of money to hold these fairs year after
year, and if we do not patronize them
the state is the loser, and we IN turn
lose in proportion to our means as we
are taxed to meet these expenses.
Now it is the duty of every individual in
the state 50 do what he can to further
the interests of the state. Minneapolis
and st. Paul people particularly should
do all they can towards making the fair
great success. The grounds are con-
veniently located for the people of both
cities to visit them often. Minneapolis
people should really be more interested
in the fair success than the people of St.
Paul. because O. Minneapolis man is
president Of the association this year
Hon. D. M. Clough. Every one who
knows Mr.. Clough knows that he is we'll
qualified for the place, and that it will
not be his fault if the fair does not
make handsome sum this year, besides
being the best fair we ever had, Let us
make up our minds to go at least one
day during fair week. and if we do there
need be no fears for the results.

resorted to in New Orleans are at times
necessary for the public good, still we
cannot but deplore the necessity OF
them. Then again there would not be
the army of anarchists in this country
now that there is had they been obliged
before landing here to show certificate
of good character. These men would be
kept out, and the people of Chicago
would have been spared the sorrow that
followed the Haymarket massacre. All
these things are terrible to think Of, but
we have ourselves to blame, and no one
else. Night after night bloodthirsty
men and women congregated in Chicago's
halls, and poured out their corruption
on all sides. Men and women we're in
Auenced to join their ranks, and anarchy
was preached on every street corner.
But it was not until several innocent
lives were sacrificed in Chicago that the
people of that city realized what band
of murderers they had in their midst.
And so it would ultimately be in Mime
apolis and st. Paul and other large
cities in the country if our government
had not seen fit to step in and do some
thing. Unrestricted emigration has
given us some very undesirable citizens,
ut,,with the proper enforcement of the
1ox
the future. England will not be able to
relieve her penal colonies by sending
her most undesirable convicts here. 1t
will..be some time before she will liber-
ate Ireland's political prisoners, even on
condition that they come to this country.
Such men are not criminals unless in
Ireland where it is crime to attempt to
think for one's.self. Italy we hope will no
longer be allowed to unload her refuse
population on our shores, as she has
done in the past. We can see what the
great lrnajority Of these people are by
going Iback to the stand they took on
the New Orleans trouble. AS long as
emigrants Jean show us that they are
able to take care of themselves; that
they intend. to become good and loyal
citizens Of this country; that their char
acters are good, we have nothing to
fear. But we have no place here for
paupers, lunatics or murderers. Our
emigration commission which is now in
Europe has an onerous duty to perform,
and if they fail to do that duty they will
wish they had never accepted their COM
missions. We have every confidence in
their ability to do what is right and IN
such way as to give no otfense to any
foreign government. It will come a
little ackward of course ON these foreign
countries, that have been shipping their
criminals and paupers here, to be obliged
to keep such people at home or send
them elsewhere, but they must dance to
Uncle Sans music awhile now.

1t. Ireland has outlined
more than once what she wants in the
shape of home rule measure, and any
thing less will not be acceptable. It is
amusing to those acquainted with Irish
affairs to see how the Tory papers are
crediting the government with being the
direct cause of the increased prosperity
in Ireland. We know that farm pro-
duce, cattle, sheep, hogs and the like
have not brought as high prices for 10
years past as they have for the last
nine months. For this reason the
agricultural districts are in better con-
dition, and the tenants are thus enabled
to pay their rents. As long as rents are
being paid there are no evictions. and
consequently less suffering. The Lon
don Standard does not forget to aim a
blow at the United States in comment
ing on Ireland's present condition by
attributing the improvement to the fact
that American contributions have fallen
off. The Standard forgets to note how
ever thst many people would have
starved to death IN Ireland during the
past winter had it not been for money
contributed by the American people.
Had the English government given half
the money to the Irish people that they
are annually paying to the Queens sons
in-law there would not be SO much need
of Ireland looking to America for help.
Better still would it be if the govern
ment turned this money into working
the coal and iron mines Of Ireland, or
establishing factories on the banks Of
the different rivers. Ireland does not
want to beg. Her people want work,
not aims. and if Balfour's new home
rule measure will meet these as we'll as
other equally necessary points, all will
be we'll. But we are afraid that this
measure is merely promised to catch the
Irish vote at the coming general cleo
ton. and we would therefore warn the
Irish people not to desert Gladstone on
Balfour's promise to introduce a home
rule bill if his party are returned to
power. It Balfour means business let
him introduce his home rule measure
at once and pass 1t before general
election is called, We will see II he
will.
