CONE TO THE RESCUE.

London Papers Urge Prompt Assistance
For Ottawa and Hull.
Loxoou. April 2s.-The afternoon
papers are unanimous in expressing the
opinion that it is the duty Of Great
Britain to promptly and substantially
assist in repairing the losses incurred
by the Ottawa fire.
The St. James Gazette voices the
general view, saying:
''At any time such a disaster to Can
ada would have appealed irresistibly to
the sympathies of Englishmen, and the
present conditions strengthen the obi
CATION. We have plenty on our hands
with the South African war and the
Indian famine, but we shall not be
backward in doing all we can for our
Canadian brothers till the bottom dollar
is reached.
There is considerable anxiety in Edin-
burgh insurance circles on account Of
the Ottawa fire, as all the companies are
heavily involved.

ALL SAW BY STEAM.
The Last Water Power Sawmill Il
Changed Over to Steam in
Minneapolis. p

The last of the water saw mills of
Minneapolis has passed, says the
Mississippi Valley Lumberman. The
only remaining one-the McMullen
mill on the East side-is being con-
verified into a steam mill to start
work as such May l. Its water
power has been sold to the General
Electric company. This week the
J. B Bassett Lumber company
transferred it's old saw mill water
power to a flour manufacturing
company. Plainly water power in
Minneapolis has more profitable en-
ployment than saving wood.

CANTY'S OPINIONS.

Judge CAVITY gave an interest
ing talk on the Philippine islands
in Minneapolis Thursday even
ing, and then made a few appro-
pirate political suggestions.
II want to point out" said he,
"some of the mistakes which I
think the Democratic party is
now making, I wish to say right
here that in my humble opinion,
if Bryan is nominated on d Is to
l platform, we may as well lay
down our arms and quit; that
we may as well concede the cleo
ton to the Republicans and &C
knowledge that we are already
beaten.
"The Republicans are stealing
all of our thunder now and they
look to the nomination of Bryan
to insure victory for them. You
may think this is a strange move
on my part, but I am in the habit
Of saying what think. 1 voted
for Bryan four years ago, and if
he is nominated I will vote for
him again. But I want to say
again thatwe are making a great
mistake: to continue along the
path we are now pursuing.
II tell you that Bryan has mis-
managed the campaign up to
date. There has been misman-
agement in the west and treach-
cry in the, east. A signal in
stance of eastern treachery is
the action OF the Vermont and
Pennsylvania Democrats in
sending Bryan delegates to the
national convention. They in
tend to let Bryan's nomination
and McKinley's election 60 by
default. They have put them
selves in the position of saying ::
we want to give the Bryan fell
lows rope enough to hang them
selves They think that it will
insure McKinley's election"

FOR ANOTHER STREET FAIR.
Business Men Are in Favor of It and Steps
Have Been Taken for an
Organization.

There ia now but little doubt that
Little Falls will have another street
fair this season. The dates have net
yet been fixed, but a large majority
of the business men are in favor of it,
and the manner in which a number
OF our leading citizens and business
men have taken hold OF the matter is
evidence sufficient that it will be a
success.
. The initiative in the matter was
taken up Friday by several business
men who canvassed tho city to ascer-
tain the sentiment in regard to hav-
ing another fair, and it was found to
be largely in favor OF the project. In
fact there was no opposition, and
liberal financial support was prom
Used by many.
The plans are already we'll ad-
vanced. The old officials feel that
they have done their share in manag-
ing the fair last year. and think
the work should be taken up by 9TH
ers this year. These officers were
President Barney Burton, Secretary
A. Simonet, Treasurer G. H. Brown,
Manager George Lafond.
"F No meeting has yet been held, but
an understanding has been reached
in regard to the new officers. and they
will undoubtedly be selected in the
near future. They are as follows:
President, F. H. Joesting; vice presi-
dent, B. G. Turner; treasurer, NJ. v.
.Wetzel; secretary, DR.. F. H. Nero;
assistant secretary, George LaFond.
i, As will be seen by this list OF off,
GERS, composed as it is OF energetic
men, there is every reason to believe
that the second fair will be a grand
success. They have the experience of
last year to aid them, and while
there were no serious mistakes made
last year, some features that were
last year used as an experiment, and
not as successful as anticipated, can
he eliminated, or improved upon this
season.
tits the intention to largely increase
the list of premiums, and, the first
work to be done, it is said, is to pub
lish a list of the farm products and
other things for which premiums will
be given. and distribute these lists as
as soon as possible among the farm
ers, so that they can begin early to
compete for the prizes.
The new management will also
have the advantage over the officers
of last year in having several more
months in which to complete the ar
rangements and advertise the fair,
and this fact alone should add great
~ to the attendance.
By united effort this fair will un-
doubleday reflect credit on our city,
and as our business men and citizens
generally are all now willing to do
their share, there is every reason to
expect success.
