NORrHROP' TALK.
The University Presid' n; on the
Years Event.


"The Columbian Festivities" was
toast that inspired Pres den Cyrus
Northrop. of the state University, to
one of his grandest efforts, ami he was
applauded to the echo as he progressed,
treating his subject sequentially. He
said:
The subject as outlined by the toast
master, to which [ am expected to re-
spond, is a.subject for a poet. Unfortun-
ately | am not a poet. l have never
seen the caravel or the White
Squadron, have never visited
La Rabida or the White City. 1 never
saw Christopher Columbus-a fact
which at tine present moment | most
deeply regret.
The Columbian exposition is. as Fred
erics Harrison once said of something
else. ian apotheosis of liberty, because it
shows what a free people in few
years have been able to accomplish
under the Inspiration of free
thought and self-government"- an
-apotheosis of machinery because
in 1t are displayed at their best, the two
mighty forces of steam and electricity
operating in the service of man, to-
gether with most of those inventions to
which every department OF industry ac-
knowledges its obligations. from wheat
crowned agriculture in the Northwest
to the glowing furnaces of Pennsyl-
Yania, blushing led with pride over
BessemeT steel.
The exposition is in the midst of
that grert western world which Co
lumbus discovered to the nations It is
in that wonderful American city,
Chicago. 1000 miles from the Atlantic
coast--the most comprehensive worlds
exposition yet seen-and in a city that
has had an existence of but little

more than half century. Hither
the nations of the earth have
brought the products of all c!imes and
all civilizations. The contrast between
it and La Rabida could not be greater.
Little did the sad traveller In the little
convent four centuries ago realize the
mighty future which was to be evolved
from his own teeming brain. Great as
was the prospective service which he
hoped to render to mankind, the out
come of his bold voyage has far sur
passed it,"
Four centuries have passed. and the
American republic stands among the
nations of the earth, second to none of
them in real power in resources, and in
the prospect of mighty future. Europe
waited more than a hundred years after
Columbus day before it began seriously
the work of colonization. American
enterprise, like that which charaeteriZes
the achievement which we are here
to celebrate, has done more in the last
fifty years for national greatness and
glory and happiness than the three and
a half centuries before. The honored
guest of tine evening has not crossed
tracklesS ocean to find something he
was not looking for. His wise foresight
early discerned the possibilities of d
coming empire i'll the far west; and his
Imagination, as necessary to the man
of large business affairs as to the his
torian or poet, saw the future i'll the
instant"
His locomotives steaming toward the
Pacific coast are the couriers of ali ad
vancing civilization. He has opened to
the unnumbered cities and towns and
villages the possibilities of exist
ence and of prosperity. He
has opened communication between
the mighty prairies and the
trackleSs forests of natures empire and
the markets OF the world. and, best OF
all, he has made it possible for thou
sands of homeless families to find
home and rest ili the paradise that in
dustry shall create. He has done this,
not for himself. not for the Great
Northern corporation, of which he is the
inspiration and the life, but like every
public benefactor, whether he realizes
it or not. for humanity. There will be
more happy homes, more comfort, more
general happiness and prosperity. be
cause of the successful completion of
the. great enterprise conceived by this
far.sighted man. l do not ask to place
the laurel wreath upon his brow; lay

SENATOR DAVIS.
Able Handling Of a Widespread
ing Subject.


Able Handling Of a widespread
ing Subject.
"The New Northwest" was the toast
assigned to Cushman K. Davis, the
senior United States senator from Min
nesota. Crossing the banquet hall to a
station near the speakers table. his
eloquence was easily heard by all, al
though he spoke in low tone. He
began in reminiscent vein. he as
serled that things that seemed physical
impossibilitieS have often come to pass.
He recited the history Of the North west
in that trite and crisp style that has
material he passed to the political
phases of the development, and the
progress that has sprung from Ameri-
can ingenuity was pictured in elegant
phrase.
The prophetic spirit that inspired the
men who conceived the project of acquir
ing Louisiana was portrayed. This was
the first step towards the development
of the vast area west of the Mississippi
river. De Witt Clinton conceived the
Erie canal, connecting the lakes
with the ocean. Then the
railroads brought civilization further.
1t was MIR. Benton who first projected
the Pacific railway system. The appel
lation that knighted John G. Fremont
was the Pathfinder. Who cares that
DE Witt Clinton was defeated in his
candidacy for the presidency by Mon
roe? Every school boy knows that it
was Clinton who conceived the canal
linking the lake system with the At.
,antic.
| Mr.. Davis predicted that the time will
come when the new Northwest will
number 5o,OO0,O0O people, and it will be
then that the name of the honored
guest will be emblazoned in his
tory in glory that shall make
other great names pale. He pur
sued that there has always been
a new Northwest. 1t has moved west
ward, and will in time be forced to the
confines of the Puget sound. North of
the Minnesota line, reaching to the
Peace river, is also new Northwest.
Rich and arabic tields-100,0 900 acres
of tillable lands, grazing for millions of
cattle-but he thought possible that
none of today may live to see the gene
sis of this vast territory.
The astronomical system was de-
scribed in its evolution as simile of
the development of the country-the
new Northwest-and he gave his idea
of how this development will be encom-
passed by peaceful annexation. The
painting of steamers blowing Hudson'S
bay was held up to the gathering, and
this was followed by prophecies that
glowed with rhetorical gems.
