their vote or countenance.
The Minneapolis Tribune says:
In the elections of Tuesday, the Oranges have
in Iowa, SO as to mold the balance Of power, prob
ably. So far as this is a genuine farmers move
ment, it may be regarded wholesome sign.
The Democratic party is dead, and the Republi.
cans are reado to cooperate with the Grangers to
effect any reform that is actually needed, and to
build any bulwark that railroad encryachments
may require. Both will combine to enssre Justice
and overthrow demagogues.

TEE PROPRECZY OF 4 HIGHER
PRICE FOR WHEAT THE HAR-
VEST IN ETROpE

Last week we promised our subscribers an arti-
Gle on the subject of The prospects of higher
price for wheat. Instead of that we give the fol-
lowing CLEANED from German paper Of wide cir
ulation in Europe which contains facts
far more conclusive than any thing else that we
could present. III the first place very small
crop Of rye has been harvested on the continent,
and that has affected the whole grain market.
Rye Is the most important of grain, because no
other is consumed to so great an extent, and with
the exception of Russia and few small provinces
on the lower Danube middling crop of rye has
not been received in any country. The wheat crop
Is also so small that two important wheat export
ing countries, France and Hungaria, must them
selves import wheat this season. France will this
year need ut least from 1S to 20 millions of bushels
England alone is going to give a normal or in 9th.
er words an average wheat crop, that is to say il
will under all circumsta tances have to import from
thirteen to fourteen million quarters of wheat and
flour. And as to Italy and the Netherlands, the
exports and imports of the two countries will
about balance.
The harvest in Russia and Poland leaves
better result, but these countries will not be
able to export as mucn this year during the pre-
vious year. Especially in the south of Russia il
the crop very poor. In the countries of the lower
Danube, the wheat crop is quite good, bat there
was very small corn crup and this will prevent
the export Of any wheat. AS to Germany the whea,
crop this year will be sufficient to supply home ne
cessities, but if We wish to keep the wheat the
prices must be raised, especially in the cities or
the coast, otherwise the wheat will be exported
All these circumstances have since the end O
the summer occasioned rise in the prices O
grain, the like ofwhlch we have not seen in man,
year. and heavy imports from the United States
is the only thing that can have sufficient intlu
ence Oh the European grain market to relieve i
from the critical situation in which it has at pres
ent fallen.

HOME MANUFdCTORlES.

At the late meeting Of the County Council p of
H. of Goodhue county, the subject of home man
ufactories was incidentally touched upon. The
question is one not new but one which deserves
much more attention in the west than it is now re-
ceiving, more attention of practical kind,
that bears fruits in results.
Nearly all the machinery used in this State is
manufactured out of the State In most in
stances this machinery is manufactured at inland
towns in other States and has to be shipped hun
dreds Of miles by railroad with freights at extor-
tionate rates. The farmers are compelled to have
this machinery, and to obtain it, they forced to
pay down to the grasping transportation eompan-
les these extortionate freights Take the one ar
ticle of threshing machines, in one year alone,
= county buying five hundred machines is
compelled on these to pay freight Of five thous-
and dollars Take all the other machinery and
implements Of the farm and the fteights amount
to untold thousands. Yet this money goes to
build up the very monopolies against which the
farmers are struggling 1t is like impoverishing
ourselves to give aid and comfort to our enemies
In time of war; There is another bad feature about
this transportation business, the shipper, under
the present arrangement not paying these frolghts
is not particularly interested in obt aiming low
rates. One man ships and another one foots the
bill men generally prefer to have the opportu-
nifty to make their own contracts for
what they are compelled to pay, otherwise
there is too much opportunity of collusion and
cheating Yet this 10 not the worst feature, there
must be agents at both ends Of the route, one set
to attend TO the shipping and the other to attend
to the rsceiving, selling and collecting, and all
these must be paid fancy prices, adding for their
services, which in many instances are almost NOM
inal, from thirty to hfty and even : hundred per
cent to the entire cost Of the machinery, and the
farmer ID compelled to foot the bill. The trouble
BY no means stops here, the manufacturer must
charge extra to cover loss and risk in shipping,
the manufacturers living ct great distances from
customers and near to each other can the moro
easily combine 70 AZ fancy prices on their goods,
ana they cannot Be % easily reached when furnish.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The monarchial party in France to
save time have their slate all filed out for
their next cabinet in case the French
crown is thrust upon Count Chambord
at the opening Of the National Assembly.
They will all accept.
Theirs, however, has little sponge with
which to wipe out their fine figures. He is
to publicly advocate the prolongation the
term of President, McMahon, and draw off
the support of the left center from the
Monsrchists, thus letting the gas out of
their monarchial balloon. "There is many
. slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" will
probably be adopted by the Count as his
maxim if Thiers' succeed.
Gen. Moriones succeeded in killing
more Carlists in an engagement at Navarro
than he had killed Of his own troops and
has great victory. He had to do some
lively running himself on the 9th inst 1t
is tit for tat. At Cartagena the Carlists
did not succeed in a sortie against the be-
seiging army, but they are to be invested
and hombarded by water. The fight goes
on with rather dark prospect for the
Carlists just at present.
An opportunity is however being given
for somebody to make themselves glorious
1t is wonderful how much glory men have
won in this world since the days of Nim-
rod, the mighty hunter, (robber) by kill
ing one another.
Il is also wonderful to think when a
Nation, or people, get wrong into their
government or their society, how difficult
it is, and how much of time and hard blows
it takes to get that wrong righted. And
those who are working for reform in the
New World need not be discouraged if they
do not see all abuses righted in day. So
ciety is progressing, but that progress is
like ascending a mountain by winding,
slowly rising path, crossed by deep valleys.
The traveller is some of the time going
down hill but it is the only way up the
mountain for all that, and the longer he
travels the nearer he gets to the top.
Marshal Bazaine is indicted and being
tried in France for plotting the restoration
Of the Empire instead of fighting his coun-
try's enemies. He pleads "not guilty"
to the charge. Whatever may be the proof
to the charge in his case, it would be we'll
for the world if he were the only man who
had neglected duty to forward some pet
measure of his own or to advance his own
personal interests. Will men ever learn
to place duty first? Will men ever quit
plotting for crowns or selling themselves
and their souls for Office and power?
Count Chambord has crouched down
At Hainault in Belgium, from whence he is
supposed to be watching France with some
Of the philant thropic or philomouseio emotions
of cat watching mouse. A feeling
somewhat similar to that Of a railroad king,
who has laid all the wires for shrinking the
the stocks in and is about to gulp down
some coveted rival road

Keeping Applea.

A successful orchardist in Maine
has an old theory in regard to the
decay of apples. His farm of fifty
acres, with an exception OF about
ten acres, is covered with apple
trees of various sizes and ages,
though a majority of them are now
in bearing. One of his theories is
not to use any animal manure around
his trees, but to depend wholly upon
Vegetable manure in the form of
mulching. He defends this position
on the ground that the one is the
natural method and the other artif-
! cial-the latter tending to cay,and
the former to health. He kept over
], 200 bushels of apples, mostly Bald
wins, through the past winter and
spring in his cellar, and has only
just sold the last of them, the price
ranging from one to two dollars per
bushel, He says by this mode ap-
PIES may be kept the year round
without lOOsing their juiciness and
crispness, and his method should be
understood by every orchardist. His
theory is that the early rotting and
decay of apples is due, to a great ex-
tentto vegetable miasma in the air,
which is communicated to it by
vegetable evaporation under GER
tain conditions. The effect of this
miasmR is first seen in minute
speck; sometimes as many as a doz
en- may be counted on the same ap-

But he does hear the sound of
guns. This time there is no mis-
take. at is--it is the cannon's
opening roar!'' Be composed, my
dear Oliver Hazard. It is the Uni
ted States Steamship Michigan, fir
ing at mark, and you hazard moth
ing if you stand close to the target.
Let a target far away from it and
there's where the danger comes in.
They did hurt q soldier the other
day, as l am told. They sent him
out to set up target, and being. a
little set,up himself, he did not hear
the admonition of an experienced
shipmate to stand right in front of
the mark until the firing was over,
| but very foOlishly got into his boat
and rowed away from it. The con
sequence was, when he got about a
mile away, shot aimed with singu-
lar accuracy at the target, came
along and cut him down to the wa
ter's edge.
But l have wandered away from
from my brave Commodore Look
ing off upon the placid bay he might
indulge in dim expectation of see
ing his crippled though victorious
squadron riding at anchor. Perhaps
he thinks he discovers the Niagara
to which he transferred his battle
flag, after his flagship was riddled
ike sieve, making the passage, as
you remember, in an open boat,
amid storm of shot, gaIantly stop
ping hole made by a British ball
with his linen duster. 1t is not the
Niagara you see, dear Commodore,
1t is the yacht Humming Bird with
Its joyous load, bound to "Stacy's"
where they defy all the grape the en-
emy can send against them.
Naval engagements are not the
thing here now. The engagements
that prevail are engagement to dance,
sail, row, drive, bathe, and occasion
ally an engagement to marry; and if
Perry were here in veritable flesh
and blood, and in the garb of youth,
Oliver might loose his heart, and IN
