MADE OF BUTTER.
MinnesOta's New Capitol Will Be So
Represented at Buffalo.

Minneapolis Journal:
A model of the new Minnesota capt.
tol in pure Minnesota butter will be
exhibited at the Buffalo exposition, if
present plans are carried out.
The model will be five feet high and
eight feet long. 1t will be executed by
Jensen, st. Paul sculptor, and the
total cost will be 81, 500. The Mime
sofa commission has contributed sew
eral hundred dollars from the appro-
priation, all that can be spared, and
Governor Van SAINT has helped out of
his contingent fund. The rest is be-
ing raised by private subscription.
The complete model will be hand
some and unique affair. 1t was orig
inally intended to get the capitol
commission to contribute a plaster
model, but they declined on account of
the expense. The butter model will
attract far more attention, and will
advertise Minnesota as butter state,
besides giving visitors to the exposi-
tion IAN idea Of the architectural
beautysof the new state mouse.

- Q MANY and so determined at
tempts have been made to
~ discrcdit Governor Allen, of
Porto Rico, both at Washing
ton and before the people of this coun-
try everywhere, that they at last
brought out the statement of their in
ception and prosecution being the work
of the political opponents of the adj
ministraton. The document recently
published declaring the Industrial con-
ditions of the island to be worse than
they were under Spanish rule has been
answered by the clear showing that
more people are employed in the island
than ever before; and that the immi-
grafton from the island to Hawaii,
Cuba ana South America combined
counts w u total of but 5000 out of
o532i3 popula all eX-
penses are paid by those seeking Porto
Rican lahorers.
Now comes the report of the COM
mittcc OF the Federation Regional at
San Juan. which declares itself to rep
resent the true sentiment of the largest
organized body of workingmen in Porto
Rico" The Federation, through its
committee, has presented resolutions to
Acting Governor Hunt expressing its
appreciation of the efforts of the gov
ernment, despite the obstacles created
by those trying to keep things in the
old way and rejoicing that Cover
nor Allen will return" The resolutions
request that Acting Governor Hunt
will advise President Mckinley that
the workmen represented have con-
tidence in his policy, and that Senor
lgleSias, who now assumes to repre-
sent the islands labor interests i'm
Washington, is unauthorized by the
true labor unions
This information, sent out from San
Juan on Saturday last, is of nature
to reassure the thoughtful in this coun-
try who have been pcrpexed by state
ments of starvation in Porto Rico un-
der American rule" cmanating from
the source discrcditcd by the Fedora
cion Regional. That the president af-
requested Governor Allen to remain
in office, at least until the meeting Of
congress next December, has. in itself,
satisfied thousands. The resolutions
of the Federation Regional are ctmll-
lative, and corroborative of other tes-
timony upon which the president has
acted.
