The Chicago Tribune prefaces an cd.
itorial review Of MIR. Pusey's last sta
ti,tical report with the following just
remarks:
"Nlinncsota has more accurate and
comprehensive system for Obtaining the
annual statistics of her productions
and progress than any other Of the
nswer States. Certainly, tho yearly re-
ports Of her Commissioner Of Stats.
tics are tho best that have fallen under
.ur observation. The ono recently is.
sued has the figures completed for
1869, and, as far as could be ascertain
ed, for 1870. While, for somo articles,
production seems to have passed the
maximum, the general results show 4
most gratifying increase in all that
marks the physical, intellectual, and
moral progress Of the State"
Upon the great expansion Of agri.
cultural cultivation and production in
this State as indicated by this valua.
bic report-the tribune remarks:
"Withiu only ten years Minnesota
has taken her place among tho very
6fst wheat. producing States, aud it
's certain that to her and to the vast
regions north and west of Minnesota,
IN the British possessions, must the
country look, in very few years, for
her supplies of this most important ar
ticle of consumption aud export.
The quality Of Minnesota wheat is
among the very best known to the
markets OF the country"
The Tribune concludes its review as
follows:
"These figures certainly show we'll
for State whose entire values, only
twenty years ago, were merely oomiuaI.
They suggest to our business men the
Importance Of cultivating an intimate
acquaintance with the people who are
advancing so rapidly in wealth, and in
everything that marks high material
and social progress. Minnesota is for

The Versaillists evidently consid.

mune live their wonted fires. Marshal
MacMahon has issued an order pro-
hibiting dealers from keeping on hand
more than two hundred litres (about
twenty-five and a half gallons) of in
fammablc liquids at a time. This
seems very oppressive, and it is doubt
less intended to serve as a check and
a reminder to the dangerous classes Of

real precaution against willful incendi.

Otter Tail county, where they have

THE GOVERNORsRIP.

The Wabasha Herald Is "fully con-

The Herald dominates Hon. Thos

"throughout the wide extent Of the

lar speaker, a long-tried Republican,
aud man Of iucorruptible integrity"
The Preston Republican puts the
pertinent inquiry, "1s it safe to head
the next Republican ticket with man
whom the mass Of the people disap-
proye !" and adds "Gov. Austin was
elected two years ago by a very small
majority, and there is no evidence of an
increase Of bis popularity. On the
contrary, the reverse IS true. Should
the managers aud slate-makers succeed
in thrusting him upon the party and
thereby pass the administration of the
State over into the wrong hands, they
need not attempt to throw the response
bihty on to other shoulders than their
OWL"
The Lacrosse wis., Leuaer, which
10 thoroughly posted in Minnesota af-
fairs, says: "Governor Austin was
elected by a email majority, and
though an estimable gentleman, is, un-
fortunately for himself, not one Of that
class of men who can make themselves
popular with the masses. We do not
think that he has strengthened him
selfin the affections of the people one
whit during his torn of ofics, and if be
has gained strength in any locality, it
is only to lose it in some other portion
OF toe State. If nominated, he might
be elected, but the majority would be q
small one."

money levied aud collected for school pur-
poses is appropriated for the purpose for
which it was originally levied, and not be

Basis of Representation


Under the existing constitution Of West
Virginia, negroes caunot be coustcd in ap'
portioning representation to the different
counties. Although, as Democrats, we
arc opposed to black eufranchisemant, yet,
since negroes are permitted to vote and en-
joy all the immunities enjoyed by white
citizens, the counties burdened with them
should at least have tho benefit of them in
representation. This is but justice. Take
for instance. the county Of Kanawha. with
negro voting population Of se7era hund-
red, yet, because the constitution provides
for white apportioumen., we are denied the
additional representative in the Legislature
to which by our aggregate population We
are entitled. The Democratic party 10 its
platform is 10 favor Of such an alteration
of the constitution as will correct this iujus-
ticc, aud give to Kanawha fair represen-
tl'ion. The Radical party opposes any
change in this respect, but proposes to con-
tiuuc the injustice Courier.

Let the voter remember that John Hall,
in the exercise of his petty tyranny caused
tho arrest and incarceration of more citizens
during the war than any man in the
county.
Let oil remember, that John Hall vas
the worst enemy our people had during the
war. He caused the arrest Of every per.
son who did not think and believe as he
did.
Remember the Radical candidates are
opposed to any change in the constitution,
thereby depriving Mason county Of an al.
'dilional representative,
Remember the candidates on the Rad
icnl ticket are men who opposed the call of
the Convention and will endeavor to fastcn
upon us the old Constitution without
change. We must see to it that every
Democrat in the County and Senatorial
District is on bis gaurd against the efforts
that are being made to elect men to break
up the Convention.
