RAMSEY and Hennepin counties
have come to the front with their
quotas to the Worlds fair fund,
amounting to about SIT 600. The sum
has been practically assured for some
time back, but the certificates have
now been duly signed and the matter
closed up. This with the amount al
ready secured in the outside counties,
brings the sum now raised, up to
about $4,000. Besides this quite a
number of counties are organized and
their quotas will swell the amount
well along toward the 100000 mark.
Some counties have been holding back
because Ramsey and Hennepin coun-
ties had not raised their quotas. This
excuse will hold good no longer, and
it is TO be hoped that the remaining
counties will close up their quotas at
once, so as to give the commission a
chance to devote time to other mat

REHABILITATION.
PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

Sidney a. Kent, Chicago board Of
trade man, is determined that the
University of Chicago shall have the
finest chemical laboratory in theUnit-
ed States. and to that end will con-
tribute Sl50,000.
Sir Morell MackenZie's household
expenses were very great. He kept
sixteen servants, besides a private
coach for himself and another for his
wife, and spent every cent Of his $780,
900 yearly income.
The youthful prodigy, Joseph'HoC-
mann, is about TO begin a finishing
course of study under Herr MoZkOwsk..
in Berlin. The course will last Two
years. and Holman will not play in
public until it has been finished.
One of the most promising of the
younger orators in congress IS 1sador
Rayuor, a member from Maryland.
He is about 40 years old, and has al
ready become noted for his pre-em
inence TO learning as we'll as in eloqu-
ence.
The Society OF the Cincinnati pro-
poses to give a colossal Washington
monument to Philadelphia, and it
wants TO place it in INDEPENDENCE
Square: but it is claimed that such
a structure would dwarf the historic
hall, and so there's much ado about
the matter in the cradle of liberty.
The recent civil war in Chilli cost
the victors, the Congressional party,
SIS, 900, 900, according to a recent es-
innate made by the Gillian neHSpa-
pers. OF that amount 1885, COO was
contributed by Sonora Dona Juana
Edwards, the mother of Don Angus
tin Edwards, Minister of Finance,
from her private fortune. The cost
Of the war to the Balmaceda partisans
has not been figured out, perhaps be-
cause they lost everything, and it is
big thing to estimate on.

NUMBER 80
THE WORLDS FAIR FUND.

We give the condition of the Worlds
Fair fund by counties up to Saturday
night. Since then communications
have been received from several coun.
ties, showing the work of raising the
fund therein is progressing satisfac-
torily. 1t is to be hoped that the
remaining counties will proceed as
rapidly as possible in closing up the
fund, as the commission will probably
meet in few days to lay out the work
for the gathering OF the exhibit. and
also commence operations for the
erection of our state building on the
exposition grounds. a prompt re-
spouse in closing up the fund, will
materially aid the commission in get
ting everything in good shape by the
time the doors Of the great exposition
are open to the public.

4 NORTH DAKOTA paper in discuss
ing the question of binding Irvine,
says that as the season advances the
trust will advance the price three or
four cents. and calls for the repeal of
the duty thereon, SO that the power
of the trust may be broken. Now the
duty on binding Irvine is but three
quarters of cent per pound, and ac-
cording to free trade doctrine, it
would increase the cost of the Irvine
just three-quarters of a cent per h.,
If it made any difference in the
price at all. But the duty is merely
nominal, and it is plain to see cuts no
figure in the matter whatever. Re-
move it entirely and the price of
Irvine would remain the same. The
only difference would be that the
trust would pocket 'three-quarters of
a cent per pound more than it does
now

The old gentleman with the farm
ers' institute who spoke upon the sub
ject of hogs, lectured Friday evening,
on his early life in this country which
he spent on the plains in the fifties.
Before going Oh the plains he worked
on Wisconsin farm at 81 month.
and it was these small wages which
induced him to look elsewhere for
work and hence he took job as guide
with fur company. But the special
point to which we wish to call atten-
tion, is the SNAIL wages which he
earned during that wonderful period
of prosperity which gives our free
trade friends 50 much to talk about.
Four dollars month as farm hand
Look at what the farm hands are get
ting now and note the difference be-
tween a Democratic administration
and Republican.-W Window Reporter.
What grand time those days would
have been for the Calamityite. But
TO all appearance he was born forty
years too late.

TRUSTS seem to be travelling rather
rocky road lately. \ few days ago
the Ohio supreme court rendered a
decision which will hamper the Stand
ard Oil Company in some Of its trust
agreements. The Chicago council
has also revoked the charter Of the
Economic Gas Co., which was grant
ed that there might be competition
and the gas consumers not left at the
mercy of the trust. The company
went into the trust, hence the reyok'
ing Of its charter.

ONE OF THE CAUSES.

Almost every day we hearmuch said
about the increase of crime. In the
press. from the pulpit, on the street,
and in the home it is discussed and
deplored and the question is asked
everywhere, what can be done to
lessen it," Whether crime is actual
~ increasing upon the rate Of popula-
ton or not, it certainly has the APP
pearance of so doing. Some days and
weeks it seems as though the world
was given over entirely to crime, and
that the devil had obtained complete
mastery of the situation.
When you come to look into the
matter. is it to be greatly wondered
at? Would not some very good people
be greatly shocked if they were &C
cused of helping along the increase Of
crime? And yet they are doing this
very thing by the sickly sentimentali-
ty they exhibit for the fine looking,
well dressed criminal.
Take the case CT the train robber,
Perry, who is in prison at Lyons, n.
Y: he seems to be regarded as quite
hero by quite number of women Of
that place, who keep him supplied
with fruits and flowers and call upon
him as often as prison rules permit.
Yet a more cold blooded murderer
never walked. Nor is this sickly SEN
timentality confined entirely to the
women, but words of sympathy are
often expressed and kind acts render
ed by men. to the deepest dyed crimi-
nal, who never concern themselves
about the Williams victims. Alto
gether too often is the villain made
the hero of the hour, and by those en-
dowed with sufficient intelligence TO
distinguish between right and wrong.
What picture TO hold Up to the youth
Of our land. They see crime rewarded
with the smiles Of pretty women. and
the smooth-tongued, slick-looking
villain, posing as a hero, feasted with
fruits and dainties, surrounded with
beautiful flowers, and his cell trans
formed as nearly as possible into the
resemblance of the parlor Of brown
stone front. while the prosecuting
officers and the court are looked upon
as heartless tyrants, and those who
have the temerity TO demand that
Justice be meted out to the william
| are regarded with seorn.
1t has its influence upon the wron9
side, and with those whose minds have
been weakened by reading ''fashy'
literature it is often but short stel
to crime.
The school, the home, the church
and the press have great work upol
their hands to breed a more whole
some atmosphere, TO quicken tn
adherence of crime: to instill int
: the minds Of the youth thai the kid
: gloved. oily-tongued villain who vii
shoot in cold blood, him who is faith
full to his trust, is no better than tn
| dirty. ragged thief who steals to salts
fy his hunger. In fact is the NOR
dangerous Of the twoto society. WheI
> responsibility caters to virtue rattle
than to crime, then will we hear les
about the increase Of crime.

IT is reported that Lord Salisbury
has informed the Washington author
titles of his unwillingness, pending
the arbitration of the Behring Sea
dispute, 10 a renewal Of the modus
vivendi of last year, but that he is
willing to take the necessary steps
for putting a stop during the
coming season TO pelagic sealing
within thirty miles of the Pribyloff
Islands" 1t has been supposed all
along that the British government
would consent to a renewal of the
modus yivendi until some satisfac-
tory settlement can be arrived at,
and the authorities at Washington
are at loss for a reason for Sails
bury's refusal. His proposition to help
prevent the killing of seals within thir-
tY miles of the Pribyloff Islands is re-
garded as an absurd one, and is hard
ly taken as made in good faith. 1t
would serve as little protection to the
seals, and would open the door for
their utter destruction. Grave COM
plications may arise should he persist
in his refusal, as it is safe to say that
our government will do all in its pow
er for the preservation of the fast
dwindling seal herds.

DIED TERRIBLE DEATHS.
An Enylishman and American Put Their
to


Courage to the Test.
CITY OF MEXICO, July 2s.-The Daily
Anglo-Americ, n says that James Doerns-
by Walton, of Brockenhurst, England, and
Henry Ad ans, of Bellows Falls, \. H.,
met terrible deaths Monday while attempt
ing to reach the highest crater of Vol
cano de Colima. Both men were en-
gagged in the mining business, and after
some bantering decided to settle the ques-
ton which are the Drawer, Englishmen
or Americans, the test being the ascent of
the volcano. They sts rted after many diff
ficnlties and encountered an obstacle.
Died with their Flags Abreast.
The guides say that with their respective
flags they reached a shelving rock where
a volu me of ashes shot from the crater
hundreds of feet into air. Walton and
Adams, after the ashes had fallen, were
seen by the guides grasping hands, each
with flags flying defiance. This was the
last ever seen of the brave adventures, for
the next instant a solid volume of lava
was vomited and reaching height of
thousands of feet, descended concenurical-
" in "A storm of fire. Walton and Ada ms
persisted in the descending fire. The
guides escaped and reached Louilla and
told the story of the ascent and death.
