Some Pertinent Facts,

The mean discharge of the Missis-
sippi River is $4,000 cubic feet, or
1889, 2S5 gallons, weighing ,O93 tons,
per second. ''The Burlington is the
great Mississippi River Scenic Line,
running for $50 miles along the east
bank of the river. The circumference
of the earth is, in round numbers.
$4,000 miles. The lines of the Burling--
ton System aggregate over 1000 miles
more than one-quarter, and nearly
one-third, of the entire distance around
the world. To ascertain the capacity
of a square cistern, multiply the length
in feet by the width in feet and then by
l,72S; divide by 2S1, and the quotient
will be the number of gallons for every
foot in depth. To ASCERTAIN the capa-
city Of the Burlington System for &C
commodating the travelling public,
note that it reaches the most impor-
tant places in ten States and Terri
tories; has as it's terminals such cities
as Chicago, st. Louis, ST. Paul, Mime

The death of Emmons Blaine,
second son of James G.. Blaine,
which occurred at Chicago last
Saturday, has caused a wall of
anguish to 60 out from every
sympathetic heart in America to
the great secretary. Surely the
bereaved fathers cup of sorrow is
filled to overlooking. A little over
a year ago his brilliant frst-born,
Walker Blaine, was taken from
him; then a favorite daughter was
called; and now, right on the heels
of the brutal humiliation inflicted
upon him at Minneapolis, his be-
loved son Emmons has gone to
join his brother and sister. En-
mons Blaine was devotedly at
tached to his father. He was
present in Minneapolis during the
national convention, and his I'M
timely death is directly due to the
worry and excitement incident to
the convention and the mortifca-
ton ne suffered over the ignomini-
Gus defeat of his father. This last
great sorrow that James G.. Blaine
IS called upon to endure has en-
cleared him more than ever to the
hearts of millions Of his fellow
countrymen.

The brilliant haired editor of the
Princeton UNION wrote very bilious
editorial to his paper from Minneapo-
lis. He attempts to hit Senator Frank
Day for voting as his constituents de-
sired him to vote-for Harrison.
Blaine was not d candidate at all before
the convention although some of Har-
rison's enemies tried to make it appear
that he was.-Her0qa Lake Nears.
What the cute editor of the
Nea0s knows would make a bio
book, but what he does not know
would make a still bigger one.
Frank Day was the representative
of the Republicans of Minnesota,
not of the Republicans of the First,
Second or any other district. The
State convention that elected Mr..
Day was composed Of delegates
from every county in the State,
and the majority of those delegates
(as every candid man who attended
that convention will admit) were
Blaine men first, last and all the
time. If Harrison's friends were
in. the majority why were the dele
gates uninstructed? The answer
is, a resolution instructing for
Harrison would have been voted
out of sight. Mr.. Day was under
stood to be a Blaine man, and the
columns Of his own paper gave
ample evidence on that point. It
is useless to discuss dead issue.
But we unhesltatingly assert that
ex-Gov: John S: Pillsbury, a man
whom ''the spoils of office could
not buy" was the only delegate
at-large from Minnesota who rep
resented the wishes of majority
OF his constituents in the Minneap-
oils convention. The fight is ended
and Harrison is the nominee. We
are willing to let by-gones be by
cones, but we do object to the
continual Misrepresentation of the
Harrison chicken-feed organs. It
will not help the cause Of Mr.. Har-
'rlson to misrepresent and villify
the greatest American of this gen
GRAFTON and his devoted followers.

A GRACEFUL TRIBUTE.
A Resolution Of Sympathy fol.
Blaine EvOkes Great AD-
plause i'm the Demo-
cratic Convention. ..

CHICAGO, June 21.-The Ma
tiona[ Democratic convention was
in session two hours to-day, and
during that time the name of but
one illustrious American was men
toned, and that name was that of
James G. Blaine, the great popular
leader of the Republican party.
By a singular coincidence the name
of Grover Cleveland, the Demo
cratic idol, who is destined to be
the nominee of the convention,
was unmentioned by either chair
man or delegates throughout the
entire session, while that Of James
e. Blaine called forth the most en-
thusiastic demonstration of the
day. It is true the resolution
offered to Blaine was one of SYM
pathy for his recent bereavement,
but before the purport of the reso-
luton was known and Immediately
upon the mention of the name of
Blaine the secretary was inter-
rupted by the tremendous ovation
which is one of the typical scenes
OF national conventions and,which
rivalled the tribute accorded to the
name of Blaine at the National
Republican convention but few
days ago. That human sympathy
rises above partisanship was APPLY
illustrated by the reception which
Congressman Cables resolution re-
ceived and the chivalrous unanim-
ity by which it was adopted by the
Democratic convention. Equally
pleasant was the incident which
followed, when Hon. E. G. Sweet
of Maine, the home of the distin-
guished Republican leader, arose
and thanked the convention on be-
half of his State for the resolution
Just adopted, and the laundering
applause which greeted his speech,
was evidence that the sentiment
found an echo in every heart
throughout that vast convention
hall. :

AS per announcement, the dedication
OF the German Epworth NJ. e. church,
IN the eastern portion of Princeton
township, took place last Sunday. An
immense concourse of people were
present Sunday afternoon, not. more
than third of whom could gain ad-
mlttance within the portals of the
sacred editce. Rev. William f.
Fritze, Of Minneapolis, preached an
eloquent sermon in English. The Ger
mans of Princeton township are de-
serving of great credit for their enter
prise in erecting such a handsome
structure, and the best of it is there is
only a trifling Indebtedness on the
building.
