Coming For Him

We hope that with the passing
away Of the saew will disappear all
temptation to repeat the disgraoeful
s,e.e enacted on Nansen street Q,
Friday afternoon. As near IS we can
ascertain, the particulars are Is fol-
lows.
Mr.. Robinson, whooocupses the house
next north Of Nerrill's grocery. was
engaged in shoveling the snow from
the roof into the street. During the
work he heard scream from below,
and locking over the cornsce he saw :
man with hair, neck and clothes full Q,
snow. dancing up and down On the
walk and shaking his 6st toward Mr.
Robinson.
"What do you mean by throwing
your blasted snow over me!- gasped
the stranger.
WHO threw snow on you!" very
naturally inquired Ar. Robinson, there
being every probability in the world
that it WAS thrown on him several
days before.
"You did; just this minit.s asserted
the stranger. moat positively.
well, / didn't mean to throw it on
ynu. How'd l know you were theref
said Mr.. Robinson, feeling that the &C
casion called for some tirmnesa

DAKOTA FLAx.

The Springfield Times comments as
follows on our article relating to flax

The Springfield Times comments as
follows on our article relating to flax
culture:
We agree with our contemporary in
the above remarks, but iii order to make
the cultivation of flax profitable we
should have in our midst mills for the
manufacture of tow and baggage from
flax straw. We raised a crop Of six acres
of flax the past season and have our seed
in hand yet and purpose planting it next
season. While the yield of seed was ma
tcrially reduced by the 'hoppcrs eating
off the slender stem which supports the
head, and letting the latter fall to the
ground, the yield of straw was excellent
and of fine quality. 1t is we'll known
fact that our fax crop throughout the
whole country has been greatly reduced
the past few years by being brought into
competition with imported jutc, which
has, especially in the scaboard States,
superseded fax for the manufacture Of
baggage. To make flax raising profitable
the farmer must be able tn sell his straw
as we'll as his s.cd, aud so long as Con.
Cress in its legislation discriminatcs
~ SuV Aot u1C4 0uu nOIAC NY
allowing East India jute to be imported
at nominal duty 90 per ton is the duty
now imposed), so long will the culture Of
this important crop remain under a
cloud. What the farmers and the press
of our country need to do now is to
bring this matter before congress and in
sist on the passage of law that will pro-
tect tits branch of=industry We cannot
expect to see this highly important
branch Of western industry attain to any
thing like success so long rs East India
jute is allowed to be imported at the
present rate of duty. There should be n
duty Of et least SEQ per ton on ju,e butts
and $50 per ton on the finer qualities Of
jute. This would enable our manufac-
turers to use flax straw in the manutac-
ture of baggage and tow, as it would
then come equally as cheap as jdtc. The
farmers all through the west should pc.
tition congress to raise the duty on jutc
and the press of the west should also
urge upon congress the importance o.
such legislative action. Were this done
it weuld-aes belong before our -tcrritor,
would TEEN with manufacturing estab
lishments to work up our flax straw ant
turn onr fax seed into oil.

Washington Letter to Chicago Journal
Secretary Chandler chopped off an
indefinite number OF heads of clerks
in the Indian bureau on Saturday. Ii
looks very much as though Chandler
were going to smash the Indian ring
into little-bits of pieces about as eli.
fectually as Bristow is doing that
thing with the whisky ring, Jewell
with the straw bid ring, and Pierre
pont with the miscellaneous sealawag
ring OF the south. Your readers will
recollect that upon Mr. Chambers
appointment ven.ured to predict
that he would make the best sccrc-
tsry of the interior we have ever had.
1t now looks as though pretty much
everybody would seon be OF this
opinion. Even The New York 'rri-
bunc,, which spoke Of his appointment
with great bitterness, now has alead-
er about him as "rhc New Reiormcr.
undertake to prophcsv that tha,
great journal will be firm friend

The simple truth is, as i said from
the beginning, Mr.. Chandler is an un
commonly fine business man, perfect
ly honest, and possessed Of cxtraord.

the very qualities needed in one at
the. head of the interior department..
He is inlusing nenssvigor into every
