Julia Msrlowe, the actress, corrected the

If the Boston knee-dress is adopted by

1t is well to remember that Democratic

to do with making home happy next winter.
The citizens of Velasco have presented

The Ellis County Mirror in well written
editorial urges upon every citizen in the

in other apparent trivialities, it is impos-

ports from and to foreign countries for
the year ending June 80, 1890, was 3d.,
7s4, 653 tons. The registered tonnage
that passed in the same year through
the $500 was 8, 454, 435. The cost per
ton per mile OF this freight through the
500 was O.145 cent, or one-seventh of
the average rate per ton per mile re-
ceived by the railways Of the country
as shown by Poor's manual, which was
O.9T9 cent. Or, to put it differently, if
this freight had been carried by rail in
stead of water, it would have cost seven
times as much, or total of $50, 900, 600
more than itactually did cost.
At present the capacity Of the Sault
Ste Marie is insufficient to accommo-
date the immense traffic seeking an
outlet through it, and unless work on it
is rapidly pushed, will soon be totally in
adequate. The agricultural and graz
ing products of the Northwest are in
creasing with such rapidity that wheat
of last year is still unthreshed because
the roads are unable to handle it. Vast
territories, both south and north of
the international line, are being opened
up to agriculture; canal is to be built
connecting Lake Superior with the
A1issippi river and another connecting
it with the st. Croix river, through
both of which vast tonnage will flow
to the Sault Ste Marie canal and those
between it and the seaboard. $40 pre-
dict now" says Mr.. Davis, what the
next twenty years VIII bring to pass in
the waterways between the head of
Lake Superior and the Atlantic ocean,
would be to rhapsodize in manner
that would be secuted as wild and Wis
ionary,"
The inadequacy OF the waterways
alluded to will, he thinks, open up
shorter and more Northern route for
all that portion of Canada tributary to
Winnipeg through Hudson's Bay. In
vestigations have been made at Church
i'll on the bay where it is found that
navigation can be carried on from the
middle of June to the middle of No
vember, when the ice begins to form.
There is fine harbor there, and
Churchill is as near Liverpool as New

THIS feature of the address OF the
Murray Hill boilers stamps the whole
movement with ignominy:
Appoint in each county committee with
full power to cooperate with other commit
tees appointed in other counties, TO the end
that such proceedings may be had that the
state of New York may be represented at
the national convention by delegation of
Democrats who shall fully express the SEN
timents Of the state.
The action above indicated should be
taken generally throughout the state.
In our Judgment you should fight at the
primaries to elect delegates who regard the
snap convention as detrimental to the
true interests of the party, and who, in tax
ing their seats, will move that the convention
dissolve without taking any action at all
The fact that you have attended the prima-
ries is no reason for your abstaining from
taking part in the meetings we advise you
TO hold.
Men have so far forgotten the de-
mands OF honest conscience heretofore
as to break the implied pledge of sup
port given by participation ir con-
vention, but it has remained to the
sanity mugwump to attain the ex-
tremity of treachery which is counseled
in the above address.

Mr.. CLEvELAND's friends are the
last ones to complain of early bird poll
tics in New York. Leaving out the
recent January primaries in Pennsyl-
vania, his friends have been steadily en-
gagged for three years in trying to knife
and besmirsh every other Democratic
leader. They have referred to Boies
as new convert not to be fully trusted,
to German as not reliable on the tariff,
to Hill as trickster, and to Palmer as
senile. For three years they have tried
industriously to throw the cloud of
suspicion over these and others II is

MAYOR CoNNoR promised Apostle
Tracy to help him show the Demo
cratic politicians trick like the one
of last April. The April trick was the
marshalling of 5000 more voters than
exist in Dallas to beat the Democratic
ticket If that is to be repeated in No
vember, it would be well, indeed, for
Democratic nominees to keep sharp
lookout.

IT was decided at Dallas that the
only simon pure Democracy is that
which has the Ocala trademark. 1t
does seem hard that Judge Clark, who
hoped for so much from this meeting,
should be turned out in the cold, but he
has declared against Ocalaism, and
with Mr. Finley and others he will
have to walk the plank.

orr LAKE, coMMErcE.

The subject of ''Our Lake Commerce
and Ways to the Sea" is treated quite
fully and very intelligently in the cur
rent number of the Forum by Gush man
K. Davis. The magnitude of the lake
commerce is astonishing. Most people
are familiar with the fact that an i'm
mense traffic is carried on through the
Suez canal between Europe and the
East-substantially all that went for
merly around the Cape of Good Hope.
The canal cost s1Oo. 900, 900, is operated
day and night and yet its average daily
tonnage in 1888 was 1884, while that
of the Sault Ste Marie canal was &c. 242
tons, or nearly double. In 1889 the
tonnage of the $500, asst is called, ex-
ceeded that OF the Suez 100, 900 tons. It
is estimated, says Mr.. Davis. that 90
600. tons OF freight passed through
the Detroit riEer in 1889. The tonnage

tered at and cleared from United States

ACCORDING to the testimony of the
Courier-Journal, which opposes Hill
and favors Cleveland, the charges
against the former are ''pure invention
and calumny echoing the hatred he
has earned from the Republican and
Democratic victories" AS calumni-

outside the state, the Dallas News ap-
pears in an old and fayorite role.

OCCASIONS FOR DISCIPLINE.

The Bar Association of this city has here
tofore done some good work in disciplining
members who have violated some plain
rules Of ethics. From recent developments
il would appear that more of this kind of
work ought to be done. There is not one of
the professions that is not more or less
afflicted by unworthy members. The bar
has always been lenient toward members
whose deViations were not of too fragrant a
character. 1t is never q pleasant business
to bring these delinquents to justice. Their
practices are generally well known. But as
long as their names are not associated with
other than petty jobs they are left to run
d:sreputable career. If there were not In
stances Of discipline these unc0nsconable
men would be rampant Ii is seldom that
court calls any dereliet lawyer to account
unless the prosecution Of the case tas first
been commenced in formal way. All the
professions on this side of the country
suffer more or less from lax discipline.
But the bar is the greatest sufferer, except
ing ALWAYS the public, which is robbed.
It would be difficult to point out a single
instance in this State where a lawyer has
ever bee0 Disciplined for champerty and
maintenance. But in the older States
member Of the bar could not commit these
RuEU5cS nlLuDut ASiuE CdllbU 10 SlIlct aC-
count. This offense is so frequent here
that it is held by many TO be no offense
at all. If the offender does not go
beyond the infraction of this law,
the ethical obligation occasions little
trouble. If an estate is robbed, looted,
divided and subdivided until nothing is left
for the heirs, an aggravated case Of this
kind may be the talk of the day. But the
delinquent will care as little for the offense
Of champerty as if there was no such crime.
For some reason the code of legal ethics is
not as strictly enforced here as in many
other places. In fact many delinquents do
not seem to know that there Is any code.
1t is only when brought up suddenly that
they are made acquainted with obligations
that either they never knew or have held in
contempt Evidently the Bar Association
has some work ahead if it attempts to do no
more than deal with some of the most fla
grant cases which have become SO notorious
that cOncealment is no longer possible
