iMCOLLLT and Inn friends and
Captain Olazier with his friends
are having a dispute over the
ource 01 tne iM ississippi river at
the International Geographical
Congress which in now in session
1,1 oiYiiu-niiiiu. , committee lias
been appointed consisting of a rep
resentative each from the United
States, England, France, Germany
and Switzerland to consider the
question in all its bearings. This
was wise. Previous to 181, when
Captain Glazier started on his ex
pedition, the .-ource of the great
father of waters was stated to he
Lake Itasca, a heautiful sheet of
clear deep water in the center of
which there is a small island. Into
this lake, which is 1,57.') feet above
the level of the sea, according to
Nicollet and Schoolcraft, who
visited it in 1!).'52, How five minor
streams, the principal one of which
has its origin in a pond six miles
distant from Lake Itasca. The
later investigations of Captain
Glazier make no mention of these
five creeks. According to him the
Mississippi's source is a lake fully
four square miles in area, lying
about ten miles south of Lake
Itasca. This new lake (Glazier) its
explorer found to be fed with three
I instead of five streams, and 1,.181
feet above sea level, seven feet
higher than the level of Lake
Itasca.
Those who stand by Nicollet's
survey state that there is no such
bod3' of water as Captain Glazier
pretended to discover, and that
instead of beinj ten miles from
Lake Itasca the alleged Lake Glaziei
has no existence separate from
Lake Itasca, but is included therein.
This scarcely corresponds with
Schoolcraft's theory, which admits
the existence of "a pond six miles dis
tant oozing- f romthe bases of the hills
known as Hauteurs de Terre." As
rainfall is variable in that part of
Minnesota there may have col
lected the bod' of water' which
Captain Glazier found in 1881, al
though he claims the lake existed
when Nicollet made his survey.

Lis. G. Blaine sees the tendency
of the minds of the people toward
free trade and to get ahead of the
democratic plan for attaining it
takes a near cut across hits and
heads off the stampede hy furnish
ing the demand under the guise of
a new name: --reciprocity. Lucas,
(la) Review.
In writing the above the author
demonstrates that he does not
wholly comprehend the meaning
of the reciprocal trade relations, we
have established with foreign coun
tries and that in his conclusion he is
not fair in dealing with the past re
cord of Mr. Blaine on this question.
Now the position taken by Mr.
Blr.ln, in the past and he has stood
squarely on the republican plat
form has been a tariff for protec
tion not for revenue. only as revenue
is needed to carry on the affairs of
the government economically ad
ininstered. They say let us place a
tarilf upon those articles, which,
with suffic ient protection we can
produce at home and, which, in a
sl.ort time will enable us to give
employment to our own labor at
higher wages, increase the wealth
of our own country and above all,
furnish our goods at a less figure
than when depending upon the
foreign monopoly; but, says Mr.
iJiaine, tnere are a great many
articles produced in foreign coun
tries, upon which we depend and
must continue to depend, let our
people have all protection possible,
because of our utter inabilit'
to produce the articles such as:
sugar from sugar cane, coffee, tea
etc. Mr. Blaine says thata tariff on
these articles is not protection for
America but is a tax to consumers,
and instead of operating to reduce
the cost of the article, it enhances
he cost to the amount of the tariff.
Now comes the reciprocity feature,
under stand too, without for a
moment, sacrificing the principle
of protection. By this plan treaties
are formed with other countries, by
the stipulations of which, provisions
are made that mutual exchanges of
commodities, shall be made. In
ther words reciprocal trade rela
tions are established by which, we
receive from other coun
tries goods which we connot pro
duce, and give them in exchange
goods they cannot produce.
Now how, in view of the facts in
the case, one can assert that Mr.
Blaine standing on the republican
platform has abandoned protec
tion and espoused free trade is
more than we can clearly see.
Again our friend intimates that
reciprocity is democratic doctrine.
Nothing could be farther from the
fact of the matter. The democratic
party does not favor tariff for pro
tection as does the republican party
but a tariff for revenue. Then, since
the reciprocity feature, provides for
the mutual exchange of the com
modates namely, those we cannot
profitably produce here, which are
the very article upon which the
democratic party wishes a tariff
how our friend can give
democracy credit for reciprocity we
cannot see. If our friend doubts our
word as to the policy of the demo
cratic party, we refer him to the
mills bill or the great Mesiah'r And
stuffed prophet Grover Cleveland.
Our friend is more con ervative
than the average democrat in ad
mitting the good bound to come
from reciprocity and we believe he
could do good service in the repub
lican party.

STATISTICS RELATING TO CITIES.
Census bulletin No. 1(0 treats of
the social statistics of cities. The
most remarkable of the many" inte
resting generalities which it sets
forth is that it is pre-eminently in
the so-called granger states of the
north that the increase of popula
tion in cities of 10,000 inhabitants
and upward is noticeable. Thus
the increase in population of cities
of this class is 483.87 per cent in
Nebraska, 2ii percent in Minnesota,
223.82 per cent in Oregon, 204.51 per
cent in Colorado, 194.79 per cent in
Kansas. Statistics of 1890 are, of
course, compared with those of
1881). The only southern state that
shows a marked increase in the
population of its cities is North
Carolina, which has gained 204.51
per cent. Despite of all that we
have heard of the wonderful growth
of cities in the iron districts of Ala
bama, that state now has but three
with populations exceeding 10,000,
and it had two in 1880. The total
population of its three chief cities
was but 79,137 in 1890, against 45,845
in 1880, being an increase of but
72.02 per cent. There could be no
stronger proof of the unwillingness
of capital and population to seek
homes in states where the ballot is
not free.

A Portland laly says that her, hi ml

will on no account allow any of her
large family of children to take any
article out of the house until they have
first brought something in, a stick of
wood or any object, no matter how
valueless. The idea is that if the
year is thus begun it will be prosperous
and more will come into the house than
will go out.
This woman would not, of course,
trunic or beginning any task on Friday.
It would be a long and arduous one if
she did. Neither would she take a broom
with her while moving the household
goods from one place to another. Old
brooms would be left behind and new
ones bought. A cat also would be left
behind while the goods were being
moved. It would, however, be safe to
return and bring the cat alone. To
dream of passing through dirty water or
that a train of cars passed the house is u
warning of approaching death in the
family.
An even number would never be al
lowed to sit down to a wedding dinner.
ana at a marriage the carpet would be
taken up and the direction of the boards
ascertained, so that the happy couple
could be so placed that, a crack should
not run between them during the cere
mony, for otherwise subsequent dissen

looks just as pood as the genuine,
but it hasn't the warp threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells

THE LATE MRS. POLK.
Few women of the present century
have lived longer or more happily
than the late Mrs. Polk. The cen
tury was but three years old when
she was born and lacked but nine
years of its completion when she
died. She was a school girl
when Jackson defeated the British
at New Orleans, and was in her
forty-fifth year when Scott's army
entered the City of Mexico. Married
at the earl3r age of 19 she contri
buted largelj' to her husband's
popularity by the grace and dignity
with which she presided over his
household during the many years
of his Congressional life and dur
ing the term of his Presidency. A
rigidly orthodox Presbyterian, she
excluded what she held to be
"vvorldy amusements" from the
White House during her occupancy
of it, and held very much such a
place 111 popular esteem as long
afterward was held by Mrs. Hayes.
President Polk died iu little more
than three months after he had left
the White House; for forty-three
years nis wile maintained a stately
and a saintly widowhood. The
cheerful rravity that distimrinshed
her public life was natural to her
and sat gracefully upon her in her
Southern mansion. During the
war the Union general whose
armies first occupied -Nashville
called and paid their respects to
the consort of the Presid ed under
whose administration the Mexican
war was fought and Texas and Cali
fornia added to the National do
main. .Alter peace was restored
the Congress of the United States
vted her a pension of $3,000 a year
