THE WHITE CIlY7s WHITE
ELEPHANT.

AS the end of the great exposition ap-
proaches there begins TO loom up before
the park commissioners and the board
OF fair man ayers question which prom
Uses trouble in its solution. What will
be done with the great buildings which
now adorn, out after October will but
cucumber Jackson park? This is the
white elephant whose disposition both
ers its owners. When the park COM
missiOne rs eXacted bond of 100000
from the fair boards conditioned for the
removal OF the buildings and the restora-
ton of the grounds. they were thought
To oe over nice in the matter, for there
then was not any doubt that the ma
terial in the buildings would pay for
their removal and something more.
But, as The time comes on when the
action will have to be taken, the matter
assumes a very different appearance
from what it did when some three years
ago it was showed off into the future as
matter which that period would very
we'll take care of when reached. The
value of the material which can be again
utilized shriuks to fraction of its
cost after the expense of tearing down
is counted. Then there is all that i'm
menSe amount of material of which the
outer surfaces of the buildings are COM.
posed, which is pure waste. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 10000 car loads of
this which must be carted off some
where, but where? 1t is proposed to
extend the lake frontage by carting it
thpra and IL JArnnnGod ff,f oi-a
mound of it for Obset vatiOn purposes in
a corner of the park. Anyway. there
will be no salvage in this mass of stuff.
The park board begin to fear that
the fair managers will forfeit their
bond. aud leave them the task and cost
of removal. Some figures already made
give them occasion for uneasiness if
they must dispose of the white elephant
they find on their hands. The Ferris
Wheel company estimate that it will
cost them $4,000 to take down and re-
move their wheel. The Spectacular
will cost 900 to remove. What then
will 1t cost to take down and remove
the great liberal arts and the mechanic
arts buildings? And the state build
ings; what is to become of them? All
cannot hope to get out of the dilemma
as happily as did New York. which
saved money by giving hers away. Will
the states have TO remove them? Can
they be sold, to be removed at pur-
chaser's risk? Will they be worth more
than their cost of removal?
What Impressed those whose good
fortune it was to 20 and see this mar
yelons display was the pity that these
massive buildings were to be as ephe-
neral as butterfy's beauty, to charm
for brief summer holiday and then to
vanish forever. 1t was hard to realize
that buildings which appeared so ell
during were so tranSitOry; that so much
money went to the building of monu-
meuts 50 evanesceRt; that it was all but
summer days dream. But 50 it is,
and now that which has given the world
so much of pleasure and instruction
and made so grand show will soon
only remain as source OF annoyance
and expense for radiance to its pro-
mUteTS.

PoRrER's EFFRoNTERY.

Robert p. Porter, superintendent of
the census. evidently knows good

years since he was appointed to super

The salary was fat one. the perQui-

work be completed by the close Of 1890.
1t is not completed yet, however. and
Mr.. Porter thinks he can consume
couple Of years longer with advantage

where this morning by a number of

should be borne in mind that the offer
is only good for this week. as new num-
Der, will be called for after next Sun
days issue for the issue of that date.
If parties have saved their Art Sup
plementS and will look for their num-
bers, every gift offered for this week
will be called for. The numbers re-
quested are in the hands of some one,
unless his or her Art Supplement has
been carelessly destroyed. The pre-
miums are offered with the expectation
that they will be called for. Last week
two of the numbers asked for from the
issue of Sept. 18th were presented, and
the gifts were promptly delivered.
One of the parties obtained $40 gift,

prosperity. By the time the price of
pork fell in 1898 stock had grown and
multiplied. Creameries sprang up every
wnere to answer the demands of the
dairymen. Dire necessity scourged the
farmers out of their Egypt of wheat
into the promised land of diversified
farming.
One old farmer thus expressed to the
writer the change produced: 'Bsfore,p
he said. Il used to bring forty bushels
of wheat to market and get perhaps $40
for it. Now, liz the morning after break
fast, light my pipe. we turn the fat
hogs into the road, and l aud my boy

What fool have BEEN"
1t is urged that the northern portions
of these states are outside the corn belt.
Frosts, either early or late. render the
corn crop precarOus. The Trade jour-
nal suggests feeding wheat or barley.
The GLOBE suggests the field pea. and
of these preferably the green pea. be-
cause of its commercial value if there is
surplus. Canada has had the practical
monopoly OF the supply of this pea. EX-
perlence has shown that it yields well,
anu is not attacked by the bug in North
ern Wisconsin. We believe that it can
be successfully grown in the northern
portions of these two states, as it has in
southeastern county OF this state. 1t
makes gOnd, firm pork for the markets.
AS political paper, we may be eX-
cused if we advert to that side of the
matter. The relation between hogs and
politics may be imperceptibie-exce
as the word hog may be used figura-
tlyely-but it exists. Mr.. Stickney says
that the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern. threading the regions of the
state infected with Populism. sent last
year but about 5000 hogs to market. We
haven't the figures of the hog crop for
Southern Minnesota, but we have the
returns of the elections. and it is fact
that the Populist vote diminishes in pro-
portion to the hog crop. PoDulis IN never
got more than a slippery foothod in
Southeastern Minnesota. 1t may be
that it is because 1.-TWO of kind never

handy, we will not attempt to solve that
problem.

such regulations should be obeyed
