Another Suggestion 70 the Agricultu'
raj Department Of the State UnA-
versity.

Why not open correspondence
through the American Minister at st.
Petersburg, Russia, with agricultural
and genealogical societies in that great
country. and import specimens Of all
their apple and other fruit trees!
Would it not be better in this way to
increase the products of the surface of
the earth in Minnesota than to publish
voluminons reports upon the kind OF
snails and worms that lived fifty feet
below the present surface ten million
years ago! There is no ''trilobite.'' that
will compare in favor with a first-class
winter apple; and it isn't nearly as i'm
portant to learn how the 'sDikelocepha-
lus Miniskaensis' lived in the sargillo
calcareous and magnesio-calcareous
beds" in the year one, as to learn how
We ourselves are to live comfortably IN
this nineteenth century.
1t is well-known that in the so-called
temperate region" of Russia, extend
ing from latitude so deg. to So deg
north, and with winters much colder
than ours, the people successfully
raise apples, pears, and plums, while IL
the region upon the same lines OF latl
tude as Minnesota, peaches, apricots
ounces, almonds, pomegranates, grapes
and mulberries abound.
Let us see if this Agricultural De-
partment can be made to amount Z
anything for the practical benefit Of tn
people. The State will not be niggardl.

THESE old political stagcrs can't get
it through their heads that the Grange
is not political engine. They talk
about Changers being bought and sold,
etc.,-judging us all the while by the
rules that have so long obtained in pol
itics. All we have to say is, that the
Changers would prove themselves the
veriest pack of fools that ever organized
for any purpose if they should not s'yote
for or against political candidates with
special reference to their attitude to-
wards the Granger Movement Does

Our old friend, Major NJ. G. Murphy
of Shakopee, writes to the Farmers
Union as follows:
81 can't split hairs in two parts.
You say we as Changers are opposed to
monopolies of all kinds. Well, if you
are, how can you inform them without
telling them how much they are taxed
by those monopolies. They are sup
ported by laws passed by Congress.
and legislature. How can you tell them
how badly they are humbugged and
are to remain so, until change takes
place? There is party that is called
the Monopoly Party and another called
the Autobiography Party. had sup
posed the Oranges had taken a new
line Of departure, and opposed all par.
ties that were friendly to, or supported
monopolies of any and all kinds, but to
support any man. regardless of his
former political views, so he is right
now. If this is mistaken idea, l am

The Election,

The election in the State yesterday
esulted in the Democrats carrying each
OF the counties by very fair majorities
The great feature in the result is the
tremendous gains which the white vo.
tiers have made in New Castle county
where the Democrats have majority OF
about l75 on the popular vote and elect
a majority Of the election officers.
The negro vote was polled solid; but the
white men could not afford to leave their
work, and as a consequence our MAORI
ties now are not fair criterion of what
they will be in November. A despatch
just received from Sussex county states
that the majority for the Democrat.
there will be between 800 and 400; Civ
ing us the State hy about CSC or 700.

From China we have news that sixty
thousand Chinese troops being stationed
at 1ientsin, conspiracy was discovered
among them to seize the city and massa
ere all the foreigners, and that the ring
leaders have been arrested.
This animosity against foreigners is as
deep5eated and genuine in China as a
similar feeling is in California against the
Chinese, and probably springs from the
same cause, as the introduction of Amer
lean steamers on the Chinese rivers has
taken away the business of thousands Of
male and female owners of small boats
The canduct of many Americans and
Europeans who land in China is well cal
culated to increase this feeling, and the
English war especially gave force to it.
A steamer plying between Canton and
Macao has been seized by pirates, the Of
ticcrs and crew murdered and the vessel
robbed, but the triumph was brief, as the
pirates were captured. Piracy seem ia
be a chronic evil in Chinese waters.

appoint special committee TO appear
before the Secretary Of the Treasury

commerce, diminution of opportunities
for fraud and abolition of unproductive
customs houses and duties. The com

Executive Committee of the Board, is

consider what can be done to facilitate
the expectation of Canadian products

! New York, Oct. G. Extensive frauds
have been discovered in the shipment
and sale of wheat between Chicago and
this city. For a long time the quality
of certain class of wheat received from
Chicago, known as No. 3, has not com
pared favorably with a corresponding
class from other western points.
1t has been found that the swindlc
existed in the handling of wheat eth
or of Chicago or places between there
and this port.
The result of the swindle has been Ia
substitute poorer quality for the actu-
al grain delivered out of the Chicago
elvealors, but by what class of middle
men it is impossible TO determine.
The fraud is done by mixing No. j
wheat and No. . about half and half as
the grain goes into the vessel, and this
grain is forwarded with the inspection
certificates for No. > only. The los,
falls on the Western farmers who sell
the genuine No. 2.
