AN examination OF the register
shows that 5000 Minnesota people re.
gistered at the Minnesota building
during three days Of one week, and
nearly 100000 have registered since the
opening Of the. fair. 1t is estimated
that the daily visitors to the state
building during the fair will exceed
$1,000 and will not fall short of $500.
900 for the season. On Chicago day
the number calling at the state build
ing exceeded 10000 and may have
reached $4,000. The excellent display
in exhibition hall Of grain, animals
and Indian curios has proved to be
exceedingly attractive to the careless
thousands, while to the more culti-
vated and to the people of the state
the reception rooms have proven most
acceptable.

The Columbian Exposition with its
victories and it's quarrels will very soon
be a matter of the past. We wish to
go on record as saying that SO far as
the work Of the women of Minnesota
is concerned. no one has been more
faithful or has worked harder for the
success of the fair than Mrs. L. P.
Hunt, of Mankato, secretary of the
Women's board. To her were due the
Hiawatha statue and large part of
the exhibits. She deserves ample
credit for her generous services, and
we believe will receive it from just
and unbiased public. Those who
have attempted to detract from her
honorable record deserve ignominy and
defeat.

BILE quality, and the stories, sketches,

The worlds fair will be formally
closed next Monday might, although
the council of administration an
nounces that the gates will after that
date be opened as long as the weather
permits and people want to come.
But the exhibitors have permits to
remove their goods after Monday and
contracts are already made by many
with the transportation and express
companies to carry their exhibits
home immediately. It has been a
great exposition and a complete sue
cess, the like of which probably no
one of the present generation will see
again. It will be difficult to find
another city like Chicago willing to
invest and sink sc. 100000 in order to
have the honor of entertaining such a
mammoth exhibition.

Richard Croker, the chieftain of
the Tammany Democracy, is promi-
nently connected with the New York
state campaign. Mr.. Croker is a mil
lionaire who has amassed his wealth
in time much shorter than most
sudden fortunes are secured. 1t is
stated by members of Tammany that
he had little money three years ago.
He is vigorous man in middle life.
BY his advent in the turf world he
recently caused a great stir. He has
string OF horses worth half a million.
Mr.. Croker's wife is very handsome,
very distinguished looking and very
intelligent woman, the keynote to
whose character is religion. She cares
little for society, and has always kept
her husbands political life distinct
from her own. Mr.. Croker recently
moved his family into a most aristo-
cratic portion OF the metropolis.

Against Them.

Secretary Morton Warns Farmers
Against Them.
j. Sterling Morton, Cleveland's Sec-
retary of Agriculture, delivered an
address at the Worlds Congress of
Agriculture at Chicago last week.
Among other things he said: 'Dur-
ing the later perturbations in the field
of finance and commerce, the farmers
of this country have suffered less than
any other class. In their homes the
sheriff has appeared but seldom.
Among their farms no professions of
the unemployed have marched. All
through these last six months the
farmer has furnished fewer failures,
less of protested paper and least of
want of all the employments of human
ity in this great republic. But the
American farmer has foes to contend
with. The most insidious and destruc-
tive foe to the farmer is the profession
al farmer, the promoterof oranges and
alliances, who for political purposes
farms the farmer.
1t is true that American farm life
is isolated and in the newer sections
there is too little of social pleasure
and festiyity, but my hope for the fu.
ture of the farmer is not based on gre
gariousness. He will not succeed bet,
ter by forming oranges and alliances
which generally seek to attend some
other business than farming and fire.

banks and even propose to establish
new systems Of coinage for the govern
ment, than he will by individual in
vestigations Of economic questions.

The appalling railroad disasters of
the past few weeks start anew the
inquiry whether in their greed for
dividends, the corporations are not
trying to economise at the expense of
proper precautions and help. In this
section we have been very fortunate
through the untiring and skillful eff.
forts of our railroad employees. But
the addition of horror after horror
suggests that in other localities there
is something fatally and criminally
lacking in railroad management.

THE site for the new state capitol
was practically chosen on Friday. It
is at the head of Wabasha street on
University Avenue. Price to be paid,
$256,075, which is just $256,07O too
much. The city OF St. Paul should
have donated the site for the sake of
retaining the capitol. The people of
the state generally believe that if the
matter had been handled properly in
the Interest Of the state this result
would have been attained.

figure in France now that General de
Miribel is dead. He is younger than

his ancestors have been distinguished
in the wars of France. He was edu-
Gated in the Ecole d'Etat-Major, at
St. Cyr, an institution now abolished.
He was the aide-de-camp of Gen.
Chanzy for IA years. Gen. de Bois-
deffre was military attache to the en-
bassy at ST.. Petersburg, and has a
passable knowledge Of the Russian
language. In 1883 Chanzy died sud
denly and de Boisdeffre was appointed
colonel Of the 10th line regiment at

a defined and rather amiable face and
is liked by the officers and men with

boat submitted to the Naval De-

that neither OF their boats possess
sufficient merit to insure a successful

was given to the Holland boat. John
Holland, the designer, is resident of
Newark, NJ. He is of Irish descent
and comparatively young man. His
boat, which he claims to be the most

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a, ts95-The ad-
ministration's friends are to be given an
opportunity on the floor of the House
and Senate TO defend the somewhat re-
markable pension policy adopted by Sec
rotary Hoke Smith under Mr.. Cleveland
orders Senator Gallinger has introduce
ed resolution directing the Committee
on Pensions TO investigate and report to
the Senate. whether the wholesale sus-
pension of pensioners, WHICH has been
going on for some lime at an average of
something more than 300 day, is in an
accordance with law, and a resolution of
a similar nature will be introduced In the
House as soon as the House is in a condi-
ton TO allow its ordinary business to pro-
coed in the ordinary channels, which will
be after the silver question has been dis
posed OF. rules adopted, and committees
appointed. As soon as the Senate adopts
MIR. Gallinger's resolution Secretary Hoke
Smith and the Commissioner OF PEN
sions will both be summoned 10 testify
before the Senate Pension committee as
to recent proceedings.
II is regarded as significant that the
bill reported by the minority Of the SEN
ate Finance committee a. Substitute
for the VOORHEES, bill, for the uncondi-
tionai repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman silver law, provides for free
coinage at ratio of 20 TO /. This indi-
Gates that the silver Senators have given
up ihs idea of insisting upon the free
coinage of silver ut the present ratio.
Speeches will from time TO time be made
on both of these bills, but it is not prob
able thai the Senate will take them up
to the exclusion of Other business until
after the House has voted upon the sill
yer question, which will be early in next
week.

A StateSman'S Tribute.

A letter from Senator Sherman to
I. J. Richie, a mine owner of Canada,
says: II believe that Congress is adj
dressing itself to provide a cure of our
present financial difficulties, but this
cannot be FASTENED in body compos-
ed Of 4so Senators and members
This statement has great weight
coming from the source it does, and
it is even more fattering to the
present Congress, as coming from the
man whose own bill is to be repealed
to effect this cure.-Hagerstown Mail.
The Mail states further that Mr..
Sherman tacitly admits that 'the
Democrats are endeavoring to do what
is right and patriotic under very try
ing circumstances, and then loudly
declaims against calamity howlers, y
etc, which leads the HERALD to in
quire if the Mail man does not per-
ceive that he is guilty of misrepresent-
ing the man he praises. Mr.. Sherman
has repeatedly said that the law which
bears his name was no favorite of his;
that he simply presented the bill to
the Senate as compromise measure
devised by the finance committee
Grover Cleveland says the same thing,
yet the Mail continues to utter the
sycophantic cry of This own bill is to
be repealed" thus willfully repeating
a falsehood or indicating that it is
grossly ignorant of the methods en-
ployed by deliberative bodies in the
transaction of business. We cannot
think it is the latter. The Mail
should endeavor to rise superior TO
the small boundaries that surround
a
