SOME writer referring to the fact
that Victor Hugo wrote that this is
the woman's cycle" says that he
might with equal propriety have said
that this is the children's age. When
has so much thought ever before been
expended on children's rights, their
health. their development, their SYM
metrical, many sided growth? Never
before has any great fair adopted
means to show at the best advantage
the country'S most valuable product.
The Worlds Fair has done this, and
it is one of the best things it has
done. 1t shows how to care for them,
to teach them, to amuse them. and it
will be an object lesson which will do
mothers as much good as the chill
dren. 1t is not expected that the sto-
ry of the children at Paris will be re-
peated at Chicago. Three thousand
children whose mothers never came
after them were left at the Paris
creche at the time of the Exposition.
Doubtless some will take this way of
DESERVING superfuous little ones, but
arrangements have been made to send
them to various homes for neglected
little ones.

AMERICAN SHIPS ARE WANTED.

Mr.. Francis Wayland Glen, a well
known writer upon industrial and
commercial topics, in recent COM
munication to the marine journal,
Seaboord, upon the question of Amer
lean shipping and urging that radical
measures be taken to build it up, says
that "our success in naval construc-
ton has aroused great interest in
ship building. A few great merchant
steamships, equal to any afoat, built
and successfully launched in this
country will,eXcite the ambition, pride
and energy of the nation, and private
capital will be invested in ships with
the same energy and liberality as has
been shown in railway construction.
We have so per cent. of the import
trade of Canada; all other nations 40
per cent. Why? Because we
have direct and regular communica-
tion with Canada. Freights from the
manufacturing centers of the United
States to Canada are about the same
as from Liverpool and Glasgow. If
we hand relied upon tramp ships for
our Canadian trade while England
had rapid and regular communication,
we should not have secured the lions
share of the trade. What we have
done in Canada in competition with
England upon equal terms, we can
do in South America with direct, rap
id, and permanent communication
with all the leading parts of that con-
t:nent." There is no question but
that our foreign trade could be enor-
mously increased if our shipping in
terests were fostered to the extent
that foreign nations have been, but
nothing of that kind will be done
during the next four years at least,
as the incoming administration be-
lieves it cheaper to pay freight to for
eign nations, than to give aid to Sc
cure it's traffic being carried on by
home enterprise.

GEN. RUSSELL A. ALGER tells the
following interesting incident of Jas.
G.. Blaine in connection with the
presidential contest of 1884, which
brings out the broad patriotism of
the man. The General asked Mr..
Blaine why he did not contest the
election of Clevei ne KIN ew
that the State of New York was sto-
len from him by downright fraud.
Mr.. Blaine said:
81 was witness to all that occur
red before and after the seating of
Mr.. Hayes, and | made up my mind
that another contest of that charac-
ter, no matter what it's merits might
be, was likely to precipitate insured
tion of possibly fatal character. l then
determined that should / ever become
candidate for President and suffer
defeat by narrow margin | would
under no circumstances imperil ma
tional peace by bringing into question
the announced result. Public opinion
may be trusted to correct an error OF
crime of that nature, and it is better
that the individual should suffer than
that the country should beAthroWn
into turmoil"

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING.

The year 1892 was most prosper
Gus one for MankatO. This was shown
by the write-up of the progress of the
years business and Improvements, by
the FREE PRESS about the middle of
December. And it is still more en-
phatically shown by the report Of the
Board of Trade, which was first given
the public in the FREE PRESS last
evening. BY this report it appears
that the manufactured products of
the city for 1892 foots up to nearly
three and one-half millions of dollars.
This is certainly good showing, and
places Mankato to the front among
the important young manufacturing
towns of the Northwest. At the
same time the mercantile trade
surpasses anything in the past history
of the city and places Mankato as the
trade center of Southern Minnesota.
The comparisons that were made
with the manufactures and trade of
past years places last year far in the
lead, and notes a steady growth for
the city. The figures tell the story of
manufacturing interests and heavy
trade built up entirely by individual
enterprise, and makes known to the
world more eloquently than anything
else could, the wonderful story of our
rich natural resources. And the
thought comes here, and it ought to
be turned over in the minds of our
business men and citizens generally,
that if all this prosperity can be at
tanned by comparatively separate &C
tion, how much faster would be our
growth and how greatly increased our
prosperity, by more thoroughly con-
certed action that would push our in
dustrial advantages to the front and
more fully develope our natural re-
sources.
Mankato has done well, but ought to
do still better. 1t has given warm
welcome to the manufacturing con-
Germs that have located here, and it
should ever be on the outlook for
more, and our citizens should not let
1893 close without securing the loca-
tion of at least two or three more
concerns within our borders.
The Board of Trade, in the exhaust
i've report presented, has rendered
to the city most valuable service
one which ought to attract favorable
attention to us from those who are
looking for place to locate and in
vest ucapital, for no place in the
Northwest offers better chance for
investment, and more sure returns
thereon than does Mankato. Every
item mentioned in the report and
the list covers the whole field, shows
a gratifying increase over any previ-
Gus year.
In compiling and presenting this
report tho Board has made good be-
ginning for 1893, which, if followed
up with active work in conjunction
with our citizns, will make the new
year the most prosperous one yet.

JUST RECOMMENDATION.

| In his closing message TO the legis-
| lature, Gov. Merriam referring to the
| Worlds Fair commission, stated that
that body felt the necessity of a larger
sum of money than was appropriated
by the last legislature to carry out
the true spirit Of the act under which
they are operating, and to secure
such, appealed to the people Of the
various counties, who responded with
commendable promptness." With the
fund so raised the Governor stated
that the commission have been ena-
bled to erect building for the use of
our people, and to ''cover every field
of material interest within our bor-
ders in a broad and liberal manner,
not permitted by the original appro-
priatiOn." AS the benefits that will
| be derived from the presentation Of
the resources of the state at the great
Exposition will rebound to the bene-
fit of no one person, but Will be shared
by the people of the entire state alike,
the expense ought to be borne by the
taxpayers, and therefore the Govern
or very properly recommended that a
sum sufficiently large to repay these
contributions be appropriated by the
legislature for that purpose.
The recommendation is sound one
and in accordance with the we'll
known business principles for which
Gov. Merriam has always been noted,
and it ought to meet with favorable
response upon the part of the legisla-
ture. The benefits which will accrue
to Minnesota through the immediate
years that follow the Exposition will
many times exceed the amount which
a creditable display costs. For every
dollar so paid out many more will
come rolling back to take it's place.
1t is not right, business-like nor just,
that the expense for the same should
be paid by the few. Had the Com
mission confined itself to the small
sum which the last legislature placed
at it's disposal, Minne>ota's showing
at this great gathering of the world,
would have been small indeed, and
the impression as to the resources
and opportunities of the state carried
away by strangers would be of most
unfavorable character. 1t would have
been showing, jim comparison with
it's surroundings, that would have
caused blush TO mantle the cheek OF
every patriotic citizen of our great
state when visiting the Fair,
whereas it will now be their pride,
and incite the admiration of all.
To the generous hearted citizens of
the state is the credit due that it has
been made possible to make public
the great opportunities which Mime
sofa presents to the home-seeker, the
pleasure-seeker, the business man and
the capitalist, and the legislature
should rise equal to the occasion ano
consider the Governors recommends
tion in the same broa dminded spirit
in which 1T was made, and relieve
those who have assumed the expense
of this great undertaking, by which
the state will be represented as betit:
it's greatness and standing among it,
sister states. 1t is but just and right
that this should be done.

of the statement that Mr.. A. r.

Forgetting Ones Children.

81 left my children standing there,
exactly therer' 1t was in one of the
stores in Temple place, and the mother
who had lost her two little girls pointed
with absolute decision to the place where
she was certain she had told them to
wait for her while she went to another
counter to look at bargain. A small
commotion of inquiry and search at once
buzzed through the store. Presently
one of the head men stepped to the door
and looked up and down the street to
see if the lost children had strayed out
of doors.
In front of another store few doors
up the street small crowd was collect
ing about two little girls who were ask
ing piteously for their mother. They
were still standing in the doorway of the
store exactly where she had left them
when she went away down to the other
to look up bargain. And when she
was brought unto her own she ''remem-
bered that she had forgotten" where it
was she had left them, and added, 81 de-

The Moors hold by their boards when
they swear in order to give weight to
their oath, which after this formality
they rarely violate. The length of beard
seems to weigh with them more than the
stock of brains.
Admiral Keppel was sent to Algiers to
demand satisfaction for the injuries done
to his Britannia majesty's subjects by
their corsairs. The dey, enraged at the
boldness of the ambassador, exclaimed
"that he wondered at the insolence of

WHEN mills are running full time,
merchants are busy, farmers obtain good
prices and money is plenty, the man who
attempts to decry the condition of affairs
is truly calamity bowler. But when
mills are idle, workmen are out of en-
ployment, merchants can sell but little,
farmers are confronted with the lowest
prices known, and money can scarcely
be obtained, the man who states the
true condition of affairs is not calamity
howler. There is vast difference be-
tween the two. The one lies, the other
simply states the truth, though the truth
may be distasteful.

PUBLIC OPINION.
ANrGPrSs1oN HYPoCRITEs.

ANTIPENsION HYPOCRITES.
Pittsburgh Times
Two men who have been conspicuous
in the warfare against the pensioners
have had their hypocrisy exposed in a
most effective manner. One of them, a
high official in the Pension department,
was discovered to have been himself
drawing disability pension to which
he was not entitled. and when he found
exposure certain he relinquished it. with
the proviso, however, that he should
draw the money for the current quarter.
Now it transpires that John J. Finn,
the commander of Farnham Post, the
organization which made the attack on
pensions which resulted in its expulsion
from the G. A. R., applied for disability
pension, and his claim was not allowed.
Finn is Tammany office holder, draw
ing a salary of $500 a year, and is
evidently not totally disabled. Never
theless he applied for pension under
the act of 1890, and upon being refused
drew up and had passed the anti-pension
resolution which got the post into
trouble. 1t may be remarked that
Firms war service was very brief, the
battle of Bull Run having cured him OF
all further desire to fight for his country
although he did not receive scratch il
that conflict. 1t is largely from such
men as these two champion hypocrite:
that the howl against pensions to de
serving soldiers goes up the loudest.

IT is asserted that President Cleveland
is not at all pleased with the way the
Democratic leaders in Congress have
treated the Republicans in the matter of
the discussion of the money question.
The Republicans have been virtually
shut out from debate, yet ITO out OF
126 are expected to vote for the repeal
of the Sherman law As only 104 Dem
ocrats can be counted on to vote for
repeal, less than half the entire number
of Democrats in the House, the snubbing
of Republicans, an action that the Pres
ident himself resents, comes with the
less grace. But the Republicans are too
patriotic to get their backs up and vote
against measure they favor simply
because they have been mistreated. II
repeal is carried at all, it will be by Re.
publican votes.
