heat was won by Diamond G. but
she came in second the next three.

NOTES OF THE DAY.
The grand stand will have to be
enlarged another year.
George LaFond begged and prayed
of the crowds to keep off the track,
with but small effect.
The preparation for the balloon
ascension was viewd with interest
by all on the ground.
TheNashvillec colored band occupied
the grand stand and rendered a
number of very acceptable pieces.
A large number of citizens drove
out in carriages and viewd the races
from vantage points inside the
ring.
The First National and German
American banks were closed this af-
ternoon to allow the employees to
attend the fair
The biggest take ever perpetrated
upon an unsuspecting public is the
little four year old horse. 1t is no.
thing but a common colt.
The Edison phonogragh was the
centre of a big crowd all afternoon.
AS soon as IL place was vacant there
were a dozen ready to fill it.
Long before the time for the races,
the grand stand commenced to fill
up, and by the time the first race
was called there was not a vacant
seat in the stand.
The crowds wandered through the
grounds takingin in all the sights. The
exhibition hail was we'll filled with
the exhibits and was constantly
thrOnged during the afternoon
In the write up of the parade yes
terday unintentionally failure was
made to mention the exhibit of w.

business was represented by a house

4 Moral in This.

George Driver, a school teacher in
the country, arrived in Little Falls
Thursday, and during the day dallied
with the wine when it was red. He
got into a dispute with a gambler,
over a razor, who is attending the
races, and last evening they came to
blows, on Broadway, in front of Mr..
Buffers residence. Driver was
knocked into the picket fence and
had his head and face badly cut. He
was taken to the Little Falls hotel
and had his injuries attended to. He
was around town today.

THE CLOSING DAY.
The Northern Minnesota Fair Closes
its Doors This Afternoon

it's Doors This Afternoon.
Today was the last day OF the fair,
and nearly as many persons were on
the grounds as yesterday. The eX-
hibits had not been touched, and if
possible the day was more enjoyable
than Friday. The crowd in most
respects today was the same as on
the previous day, but more interest
was shown in the racing. Money
was wagered on every heat and
every event, ann before the day was
over considerable sum had fonnd
it's way into the pockets of new
owners.
The first race was called at three
O'Clock. 1t was the 2:42 class. There
were three entries, Spurgeon, Polo
and John. A good start was made
with Spurgeon in the centre and
John on the ousside. The former
Immediately took the lead and
opened a big gap between himself
and John who came next. On the
second lap John closed the hole con-
siderably, but was unable to head
peculiarly marked Spurgeon, who
won easily in 2:47H.
The balloon ascention was an
nounced to take place at 3 O'Clock
but at that hour the wind was
blowing so hard that it was neces-
sary to postpone it until late in the
afternoon.
The list of awards was not COM
pleted this afternoon in all the de-
partments' but by Monday the
names of all the winners will be
known.
YESTEEDAY's RACES.
The trotting race at the fair
grounds yesterday resulted in a
victory for LaFond and Staples S
Joslin. He lost the first heat, but
took the next three. The best time
was 2:46.

days running race. Muncy's Rhad,

In the half-mile race for two yeal
old's between LaFond's Cap and
Rhodes Mink the former won in two
straight heats. This was a special
race for $25, side, best time 1:4O.
Considerable interest was shown
in the race between Abe VanPraag, 6
14-year old lad and Ira Wasson
Van Praag was to walk 100 yards
heel and toe, W lille his big opponent
ran 200 yards. VanPraag PROVED
himself to be very speedy and beat
his big opponent by 25 yards.
THE BALLOON ASCENSION.
The balloon ascension yesterday
at the fair grounds was a grand sue
cess. There was considerable delay
in starting on account of the higl
wind. At exactly six O'Clock th'
word was given, the balloon le
loose. and the immense mass of can
vass rose like a bird high in the air

the trapeze bar and waved his hat t.

course of the balloon was in a north
easterly direction, towards Bell
Prairie. In a few moments it ha,
ascended to a height of severa
thousand feet, and was plainly to b
seen from the fair grounds. Aheigh
of about 5000 feet had been attaine.
when Prof. Bissell severed the para
chute from the balloon. He droppe'
like a stone for several hundred feet
until the parachute unfolded and ar

Th, races at the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon came off as
advertised. The first race was in
the 3:15 class for which there were
four entries: Lafond' s Cap ;Verplast's
Flo; Neill's, Excelsior and Rhodes
Lady Bell. Distance one mile, for
purse of 800, best three in five heats.
The first heat was won by Cap, with
Flo second and Excelsior third, Cap

next three heats Flo passed under
the wire first. Cap got second
honors, Lady B. third, and Excelsiol

proclamation has the power to dis
turb great commercial contracts and
to change the commercial policy of
the whole people-an entirely rev.
dictionary proceeding, clearly un-
constitutional, and really one of the
most monstrous pieces of legislation
of any time in any country.
After this great issue Of the tariff
comes the dormant force bill, not
yet necessarily dead. In case of
republican success it will surely be
revived, because it belongs to their
force and fraud protection plan.
Congress can thus substitute it's own
will for the will of the people. 1t is
necessary, therefore, that the Chicago
convention shall speak plainly of this
great danger. Every republican
vote next fall will be a vote for the
force bill.
These are the two great Kindred
and comprehensive issues that are
presented; and no wrangle Of fac
tions or personal preferences for can
didates should cause the party and
the country for one moment to for
get them. Mr.. Bayard's demonstra-
ton of the kindred nature of these
two great issues and of their CON-
mon origin is clear representation
of the democratic duty of the year.
"stripped of the naturally mysti.
flying facts which attend and obscure
the working Of every highly complex
civilization" he writes, "the great
issue is made apparent to the eyes Of
the American people, the import
ance of which overshadows all
others. 1t is nothing less than
to their votes whether
the organic forces of their govern
ment shall be changed from pro-
motion by their representatives of
the general welfare and the blessings
of liberty for themselves and their
posterity by the transfer of the most
sovereign power known to govern
ment, that of public taxation, to as
sociations of individuals who, organ
lied under the name of a political
party and with professions of ardent
patriotism, are to be invested with
the sole control of the measure of
tribute to be paid to them by the
great body of their fellow-citizens."

acreage usually devoted to cottan has this
wear been diverted TO rice While this
tendency has been more marked In other
states. It has also been very noticeable Ia
Louisiana and will undoubtedly have much
to do with the increased size of the next

Even the handsome amount above
suggested will still be far short OF
our annual requirements, so that the
high average range Of values of past
few years is fully assured. 1t is to
be hoped that the culture of home
rice may continue at an charging
ratio until it shall drive and keep
foreign out of the. United States.
There is another stimulating thought,

rice in the world" the markets
abroad are ready for all surplus
which we can ever hope to make.

DEMOCRATIC DUTY At CHICAGO


No national democratic convention
was ever assembled that had more
important duty devolving on it, in
the way Of making perfectly clear
declaration Of great principles, than
the forthcoming convention at
Chicago. There has been in some
sections Of the country a more than
usual degree of popular confusion
with regard to the great underlying
democratic principles. Yet there
never was a time when the republi-
cans gave stronger provocation for
a vigorous and successful statement
of democratic principles.
Ex.Secretary Bayard, who in the
confusion Of mere temporary discus
sions never loses sight of the funda-
mental and historical doctrines Of
the democracy, has formulated in
the June number Of the Forum the
great issues that present themselves.
First and foremost, Of course, comes
the one great issue of the tariff.
1.-THE triumphs Of the Mckinley
BILL" he says, fare still loudly vaunt-
cd by its benefeiaries, and, although
already stamped with popular dis
approval are not abandoned or even
modified. The principles Of taxation
on which it is constructed are in-
tended to be still more forcibly exer-
clsed. New taxes for protection,
with revenues as an incident only or
. prohibitory system upon importa-
tions provocative OF retaliation, and
nothing less than commercial war;
Are upon friendly nations, are
