flee of his father at Rumford and was adj
mitted to the Bar in Oxford county in

TIE Worlds Fair and Chicago ha

The Worlds Fair and Chicago have
been grossly misrepresented by the press
of the world. It 10 noticed now, how.
ever, that many foreign critics, since
paying the fair a personal visit, are
changing the tone of their articles and
frankly acknowledging the fact,,of former
misrepresentation. Investigation shows
that the great exposition is an unquali-
fed and an unequalled success. It is
also found that the stories of extortion
and robbery are false and that good &C.
commodations can be had on every hand
at reasonable rates. New York papers
heretofore so persistent in their hostility
to the Worlds Fair and Chicago, now
pipe a feeble praise and by another
month will fairly below their manifesto
tions Of approval. The Worlds Fair is
all right and from among those who
have seen it, the first mar has yet to an.
pear who says otherwise.

The opinion expressed in our last
weekly advices says Henry Ciews, in his
New York letter Of the Goth inst, that
the depression had then touched it's
lowest point, has been confirmed by the
course Of the market during the past
week. The last bank statement, showing
a gain Of over five millions in the surplus
reserve and an excess in that item over
| the figures of like date for either of the
last two years, was the first fact tc firmly
arrest the prevailing decentralization. 1t
showed not only that the banks were in
a strong position, but that a free influx
of money from the interior had set in
calculated to further strengthen their
position at a later stage. In the state of
affairs then existing, this was the one
thing needed to restore confidence. It
meant that no good borrowers, whether
financial or mercantile, need longer suffer
from lack of accommodations: and as
stocks were selling lower than at any
time since the Barring disaster. there
could be no question as to their being
a sound collateral, excepting "indus-
trials This condition Of the reserves
also molites any apprehension that may
still exist as to the possibility of further
exports of gold draining the our of
the banks. The latter movement has,
for the moment, a more assuring look:
the shipments of the past week having
been lighter than was generally expected.
So far as the late condition of the stock
market has been due to purely banking
and monetary causes, it is now relieved
from that particular source of pressure,
and We may count upon a reasonably
steady course of the money market for
some time ahead. This is an important
contribution to the recovery of con-
fdence; but there is a limit to the en-.
couraging differences deducible from it.
1t means that whoever may he disposed
to buy good securities, either as an in
vestment or for transient holding upon
good margins, may do 30 with a reason.
able prospect of coming out on the right
side. But it does not mean that we may
expect an ~extravagant upward reaction
in securities generally.

AND now it's the leather trust with a
capital Of Sl30,UO0,OW. By the way an

years every industry in the country will
be conducted on the trust principle, and
that even the agriculturists who are now
so much opposed to trusts OF every
nature will belong to a trust that will de-
eide IN q measure the acreage of the
various cereals so that immense surplus
and consequent low prices may be
avoided. 1t will require a great deal of
argument to convince the American

IN the First ward election Monday
to fill the aldermanic vacancy Mr.. Byrne
was defeated by Mr.. Patterson by an
overwhelming majority. There is a very
good reason for this result, and it is by
no means because of Mr.. Patterson's
popularity or of Mr.. Byrne's unpopular
ity. The latter is one of the most popu-
lar and highly respected young men in
Bismarck. The merits of Mr.. Byrne
were entirely lost sight of in this fight.
His candidacy was not Of his own choos-
ing. He stood, whether to his own per.
sonal liking or not, as the representative
OF the Baker-Neal Healy- Braithwalte
faction. The American people like fair
play, and this faction has but recently
been guilty of violating this rule.
When, in the spring election, MI. Allen
was elected mayor with an adverse city
council, the people acquiesed, but the
"adverse" council did not. Messrs.
Realy and Braithwsite Immediately pro-
mulgated q scheme calculated t usurp
all the power and rights of the mayor
regardless of the city charter and in op.
position to all presidents and public
policy. They attempted to tie the
mayors hands and cast him aside like a
piece of drift wood, even before they
knew the mayors intentions as to ap.
pointmenta or municipal governmental
policy. This was a mistake. The
moment these men did this that moment
the majority of the citizens who had
elected them deserted them, and yester.
days battle was won weeks ago, not
yesterday. The result is naturally very
gratifying to Mayor Allen, Mr.. Patterson
and their friends, but let them profit by
the experience of their fallen foes, and
not repeat their mistakes. The people
are still doing business at the same old
stand and just as much in favor of fair
play as ever. There are certain rights
belonging to the mayor and other rights
belonging to the council. Let each OK
ercise those rights given by the charter
and the ordinances-no usurpation, no
