II Is to be called 1.-THE Capitol Cornerstone
carnival. There has been great deal OF
speculation about what it should be called
II could be allowed to go without name Of
any sort-to be what the natives of Podunk
would call ''doin's." And 1t was harder than
one would imagine to fix on a name. The
ute OF The Greatest Show on Earth would be
plagiarism, and perhaps 1t might not gain
by comparison. The committee on the cele-
pration OF Wednesday didn't know what to
call 1t. and they were struggling along with
out any name when Rukard Hurds little
daughter came to the rescue. She overheard
her papa discussing the matter. A child's
natural idea of ALTERATION came to her.

be.

The city and the Great Northern.


The Pioneer Press ably supplements the ef.
forts of The G o e to awaken public n
timent in the following editorial in We ,terd.y,s
issue. 1t summarizes the information con-
corning the Great Northern railroad and thu
city of st. Paul which has appeared in The
G o b e s columns during the past week
and 1t will be read with interest.
A few years ago movement was set on
foot in the Ninth ward for the construction Of
ern railroad on Park avenue. The city coun-
ell was well disposed to order it. Mr.. J. ].
Hill, president of the company. appeared be-
in his life tooexplain why the scheme would
be injurious to the city. He informed the
council that he was about to greatly en-
would extendtover the ground under the pro-
posed bridge but that he would not build
them there If a bridge was to be built over
the shops at st. Cloud, and in some respects
that location1would be more advanta gsous
to his road. Still he preferred to build them
condition he asked that Park avenue be as wa a
Gated and the bridge project be abandoned
and gave the council six months to consider
the question; "A. AT the END Of six months, moth
Of Park avenue, he gave the council another
six months to think 1t over. giving it to un-

For second time Mr.. Hill finds necessary
an extensive addition to his shops for freight
car building and engine repairing. The pres
emit Great Northern shops at St. Paul are
too small for the size Of the cars and engines
now operated. and will be abandoned any
road companies to build their shops at their
yerminal cities. For many reasons they find
1t more advantageous to locate them at in
termediate points But Mr.. Hill is disposed
to locate these shops on tract Of forty

The Stars and stripes.

Charles Summers tribute to the Stars and
Stripes is good and appropriate reading just
now: Here is the national flag! He must
be cold, indeed, who can look upon its fo,ds
ripping in the breeze without pride of coun-
try. 1t Is a piece of bunting lifted in the
air, but 1t speaks subimeiy, and every part
has a voice. Its stripes Of alternate red and
white proclaim the original union Of thir-
teen states to maintain the declaration of in
dependence. It's stars of white on field of
blue proclaim the union of states constituting
our national constellation, which receives q
new star with every state. The two together
signify union, past and present. The very
nized by our fathers. White Is for purity;
red for valor blue for justice; and al to-
gether-bunting, stripes, stars and color
blazing in the sky, make the flag OF our
country to be cherished by all our hearts, to
be Upheld by all our hands,

GREAT EDITORS ARE DEAD.
Men Who Fill Places Once Famous
In New York.
From the Chautauauan.


There is no man of very marked mental
superscription in the editorial chair of aly
of the New York daily papers at this time;
no such one, for example, as Horace Gee
ley, the founder of the New York Trbu-e:
the elder Bennett, who fou.d d the
New York Herald; or as the late Charlie; A.
Dana, who was the editor of the New York
Sun from 1868 until his death last year; or as
Gen. Webb, who was the dominator OF a
New York journal that has long been de-
funct. Nevertheless there are wha. Thomas
Carlyle called liable editors in the chairs Of
the metropolitan papers.
The oldest editor OF any of the lead ng
journals of New York so far 5 term of serv-
ice is concerned is Mr.. Whitelaw Red Of
the Tribune, who in 1872, took the plsco
which had become vacant througl the cea-h
of Horace Greeley. Next in order comes
James Gordon Bennett of the Herald the
namesake and successor of his father VINO
died in 1872: next. Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer of
the World; and next, Mr.. Edward L. Godkin,
of the Evening Post. After these four e.ders
among the editors are named we must wat
wears for the newer names among the living:
Mr. Einstein, OF the Press; MIR. Ochs, of tho
Times; Mr.. Hearst, of the Journal, and Mr.
Paul Dana of the Sun. the last namsd OF
whom has held his chair for but a few
months.

GREAT INTEREST IN THE RESULTING PLEDGES
MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT.
Quebec Sept. oS.-One Of the most interesting
elections ever held in Canada Will take place TO-
morrow. In every district Of the Dominion the
electors will vote Oh the question of prohibition
Never before has the question been submitted
to the people Of 50 larse-a ~tsrgitory In all the
provinces Of Canada tomorrow the people Will
have the opportunity 10 express themselves as
for or against the absolute prohibition OF the
sale, manufacture importation and use Of any
and all kinds of ntoXiCants.
The Liberal Government now in power has
given to the people this opportunity for ex-
pressing themselves. but no pledges are made
by the Government as to what course VIII be
followed in case the people vote for pronloition'
II is not expected that more than half the reg
istered vote of the Dominion will be cast and
the opponents Of prohibition say that even II
prohibition is carried the Government, on ac-
count Of the small vote, will refuse to enact any
prohibitory laws. the ground that the vote
does not give fair and adequate expression Of
the will Of the people
In the last ten years the question Of prohibit
tjon has several times been submitted to the
people If the various provinces but never be
fore have the people Of the entire Dominion
voted on IT. Ontario the last province 10
vote on this question. The plebiscite was taken
on June 10 1894 when 192. 49I voted for and
l1O757 against making q total Of 36o'134 or
46 81 per cent of the registered vote Of the fol
lowing year on the polled vote 296l per cent
OF the registered vote for prohibition and
17Oi per cent against. A. the Dominion gen
eral election of 1891 the registered vote was
5GS $50 and the vote polled was 800. aga. Taking
the four provinces together. IL appears that q
total vote Of 26l O0s has been polled for prohibi-
ton and 1872 15S againet, making total OF 31'-
1876 out Of a registered vote Of S3l.S19 AZ the
time the various pebiscites were taken, or
4726 per cent OF this 81. 81 per cent was for
prohibtion and 10 50 against. At tho general
election Of 1891 the total registered vote in the
nrovinces Of Ontario Nova Scotia, Manitoba and
Prince Edward Island was 729,51s, and the vote
nolled was 46G. 90. or $3.50 per cent Of the reg
istered vote as compared with 4I2G per cent OF
the regist >red vote polled at the different
.rlebjscites II does not appear. therefore. that
the vote on the prohibition question has been as
light as is generally stated. it being only 1864
nor cent below the vote of 1891. after one of the
hottest political campaigns ever known In
Canada.
Great interest mas been taken in the cam

BY this time the delegates were fully alive 10
