FLOWER AND THE PRESIDENCY.

1t is reported, says the New York
Press, to be Senator Hills purpose, if he
fails to get the Presidential nomination
at Chicago, to 60 over to Roswell P.
Flower, whose selection Hills friends
declare would thus be foregone con-
clusion. The suggestion of Mr.. Flower
for President is one of the most absurd
and ridiculous that has ever been known
in politics. Mr.. Flower spent his money
once upon boom for President in way
that will be long remembered from the
cartoons of that period and the jests, at
the expense of the rotund banker, in
the press of the entire country.
His chief distinction is that his prom
inence, in whatever direction it exists,
has been obtained solely because of his
large wealth. He has proven himself as
Governor a man of very ordinary
capacity for public affairs and the feeble
and inane register of the will of Hill,
Croker, Murphy, Mclaughlin, MAYNARD
and other Democratic bosses. In humble
response to the dictates of these Demo-
cratic politicians Governor Flower has
signed measures to degrade the ballot,
to secure fraud at elections, to increase
taxation and to remove all restrictions
from the sale of liquor. The only plea
for his nomination lies in the fact that
he received At 900 plurality for Governor
last fall, whereas Hill received only
10, 100 in 1888, no account being taken of
the 1l5,0O0 Republicans who stayed at
home in 1891, and that he has placated
Tammany Hall and the Brooklyn bosses
of his party by putting his signature to
bills they had passed for plumber.
New York Republicans will not stay at
home this fall. The Democratic Presi-
Dental ticket will be defeated in any
event. With Flower as the nominee it's
defeat would be overwhelming.

in the Northwest and has accepted all.
He has consented to speak at the dedi-
catory ceremonies attending the opening
of the Convention hall. On the even
ing of June 4th, he will deliver an

The American farmer has reason to be

The American farmer has reason to be
grateful to the present Administration.
Shortly after the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Harrison the President and Secre-
tary Blaine began well planned and
systematic effort to remove the unjust
prohibitions imposed by various Cont
mental Governments against the impor-
tation of American pork. Their en-.
deavors, aided by the passage of the
Meat Inspection law, have been com
pletely successful. Germany was the
first European power to repeal the pro-
hibition; and in less than nine months
France, Austria, Denmark, Italy and
Spain have followed her example.
American pork can now be sold in
Europe on the same terms as the pork
of other nations. The markets thus
thrown open to the farmers of the United
States are worth not less than S90,000,-
900 year.

The DEMOCRATIC delegation from Yer

The Democratic delegation from Yer
mont to the Chicago convention held a
meeting in Burlington Wednesday. The
delegates at the suggestion of Mr.. Hiram
Atkins, unanimously elected Colonel B.
B. Smalley member of the Democratic
National Committee for Vermont. This
position was held by Colonel Smalley for
some years prior to to his appointment
as Collector of Customs at the port of
Burlington by Cleveland, when he re-
signed his place on the committee and
was succeeded by Mr.. Atkins, who
voluntarily retires to make room for
Colonel Smalley. Vermont, accorning
to this meeting is solid for Cleveland.

A letter from Panama states that the
cham at the enterance of the portion of
the Panama Canal which was construct
ed has been removed, and that section of
the canal is now part of the public
waters of Columbia. The canal people
made no resistance to the removal of the
obstruction which asserted their owner
ship while it prevented the public use of
the waterway, and. unless they appeal
to the higher judicial authorities, they
may be considered as having abandoned
all claim. This is presumably the end
of the Panama Canal, work which has
consumed a vast amount of capital, and
which proved to be as impracticable in
execution as it was extravagant in de-
sign. Meantime work on the Nicaragua
Canal goes forward prosperously, and
every sign points to the ultimate success
of the great American undertaking.

THE MINNEAPOLIS CONVENTION

The National Conventions are close at
hand. A large preponderance of dele
gates, says the Tribune, instructed for
or believed to favor the nomination of
President Harrison and ex-President
Cleveland make it appear probable that
the struggle of 1888 will be repeated
with the same Presidential candidates.
The consultation in either convention
may yet lead to different decision, and
it is entirely proper that large body of
delegates should go the Convention un-
pledged and uninstructed, to learn from
conference there what are the chances
of the different candidates in the doubt
full States, and then to decide for the
best interests of the country. Such con-
sultatiOn, the Tribune thinks, is likely to
result in the denomination of the Presi-
dent With Mr.. Cleveland nominated by
the Democrats, the Republican party
would have no occasion to regard the
future with alarm.
President Harrison has become known
and hOnored throughout the world for
an Administration which has reflected
great credit upon the American nation.
European powers are seeking by combi-
nation to counteract its mastery St'r t,s,,,,v
for the promotiop uf American com.
merce. The financial and business In
terests of the country have for years
trusted to the President as an impregna-
BILE barrier against destructive or dan
gerous legislation. The industries of
the Nation have found in him defender
OF rare intelligence and unwaverlng fl
deity. The business of the various de-
partments has been conducted, fair men
will admit, more efficiently and wisely
than under the previous Administration,
with far less complaint and scandal. 1t
has been clean and honest Administra-
tion, and the President has shown him
self, in his state papers, in multitude
OF speeches, in his personal conduct of
one Department after another when a
Secretary was disabled, and in his inf1u-
ence with lawmakers, true leader and
head and an executive of the first order.
1t would be absurd for any man to
claim that President Harrison is not per-
sOnally stronger to-day than he was four
years ago. He has been tried, and has
surpassed the expectations of the great
party which elected him. If he was
strong enough to defeat Mr. Gle yeland
before, when all the advantages of posi-
tion and organization weress on the side
OF the Democratic candidate, what reas-
on have Republicans to doubt that he
can defeat the same candidate again un-
der conditions far more favorable? So
plain is this that large section of the
Democratic party is to-day imploring it's
leaders to consider wisely and in time,
and to select new candidate. But |
their difficulty is that they find no one
likely to be stronger than the ex-Presi-
dent. Meanwhile, the Republicans also
will consider with care. They intend to |
serve their principles and their country |
by avoiding all risk of defeat, and if they |
are convinced that some other candidate |
would be stronger, some other will be |
chosen. But If they Juuge Ul.~ r---:5on+ |
the strongest candidate they can select,
they may assurdly look forward to con
test against ey-President Cleveland with |

OF the Wisconsin Central yesterday
morning caused loss of three horses,
the equipment of the Fort Smelling
troops that were at Chicago's Columbus
celebration, three head of cattle, and
two cars, with slight damage to two
engines, and it seems to be due to the
carelessness of Conductor E. j. Vein

The Wisconsin Central had seven

morning going east. and about o'clock
Conductor Weinberger'S train cOllided
with the special bringing the Fort
Smelling troops from Chicago. The col
ilSiOn occurred Oh culyert one mile
east of Trout Creek, and near Edgerton
street. At Trout Creek there is "Y"
connecting the main line of the Cen
trail and the st. Louis road. AS the
eaSt-bound trains reach the west point
of the w it is the duty of conductors
to run down to the station. while the
train crosses to the main line, and eX-
anime the register for orders, which he
communicates 10 the engineer. There
were orders there, so the dispatcher
says. for the train to wait there for the
special. But Welnberger did not no
tice them, or forgot their purport, and
motiOned the engineer to go ahead. The
train pulled on, but had gone but
mile when it met the special.
Both Trains were provided with
air brakes. and the engineers
promptly applied them on sighting each
other so that the trains were almost
stopped before coming together. The
shock was so light that only the fronts
of the engines were damaged, and but
one pair Of trucks left the track. they

Several steers in one OF the cars of the
stock train were thrown down, and
three were injured with broken legs so
that they had to be killed At the front
of the special were car with six horses
and another with the blankets and
equipments of the soldiers. Lamps in
these cars were overturned and set fire
to the. cars, which were destroyed with
their contents, excepting three of the
horses which the soldiers succeeded in
getting out. The horses burned were
those of Maj. Patterson, Lieut. Kennedy
and Lieut.. Davis. The fire communl-

to the fort. The company will pay the
loss as soon as it is adjusted, and the

Bear in mind that unless you register
personally, you cannot vote. 1t matters
not whether you voted at the last cleo
ton, Or whether You never voted; you
must now register again, or your vote
will be lost. Hundreds of people seem
to be under the impression that because
they have not changed their residence
since the last election. it is not neces-
sary TO again register. They are mis-
taken, and will lose their votes. Talk
this fact upamong your friends, and i'm
press upon them the necessity of regis
tering tomorrow.
The official places for registration are
given in another column of this morn

register, and be prepared to tell any in

This is the duty Of the hour. If you
new deal at the state house, register

If you desire to turn out the state
house ring and the wheat combine, see

Every Democratic orator should make
it part of his speech to call attention
to the necessity of registering. A week
ago the registration was exceedingly
light, and the enrolment must be very
heavy tomorrow to make good aver
