only practical object which 1t cottld eli
feet can be attained by the simple pro-
cess OF admitting to their seats the now
recusant members, whose absence from
the Legislature during the last three
months, 1t may truthfully be said, has
been Of far more advantage to the In
terests of reform than their presence
could have been.
The Commission sent here by Mr..
Hayes is composed Of intelligent law
yers and statesmen. A stay here OF
twenty-fbur hours will suffice to make
clear to them the utter absurdity and
futility OF any such scheme as reor-
ganization of the Legislature. Their
mental caliber must be small, indeed, II
they cannot realize at q glance the
legality and constitutional completeness
of our Legislature and their own want
of authority to question 1t in any way.

EDITOR ADVANCE: Permit me- to
make = statement through the columns
OF your paper, at request Of several cit
liens, in relation to the physical disa-
bilities OF Joseph Chadwick, a. calldi-
date for the Office of Register Of Deeds.
As is. well known to many o.. our cit
liens. Mr.. Chadwick is disabled from
manuals labor; that requires him to be
on his feet much, and while he is occa-
sionally kept within doors from his af-
f1ictions, he is able to do writing, which
he does as well, if not rs fast, as most
business men in Worthington. Never
theless, he has but one arm and but the
four fingers on the hand. the thumb
having been taken off when he received
his injuries.
Mr.. Chadwick inf; rms me that If he
is elected lie can attend to the. duties of
the Office within his own family. The
only assistance he might need would be
in lifting and shifting large books and
it necessary, he can have the assistance
OF his daughter, young lady about Is
Having been his family physician for
over two years, aud knowing his abili-
ties and disabilities, can see no rea-
son why he could not do clerical duties.
such as fall within the Office of Register
OF Deeds. It would not only he doing
INN and his family great benefit but
would relieve the county Of expense
that'is now bestowed on him.

II. W. Kimball and 4. 4. Clark, pro-
prietors Of fine 64O-acre farm in Round
Lake township, have been especially
successful in their farming operations
the present year, and we arc assured by
Mr.. Kimball himself that he will be
present ut the Fair on the 9th of. this
month with specimens of his farm in
dustries. They raised, we understand.
about 100 acres Of small grain. nearly
all of which7is excellent. Last. spring
they purchased of Mr.. Avery, of this
town, 100 bushels of Lost Nation wheat.
and soWed it all and Il portion of the
poorest has been threshed and Welded
nearly 80 bushels to the acre. Mi. Kim
ball is confident the piece will average
IS bushels to the acre. Their other
farming operations are in proportion,
and in hogs they have taken especial
pains to secure best Berkshires and Po-
land China breeds and have about $50
now on hand and will have a few to
sell at the Fair. They sell at very
reasonable price and it will be an eX-
cellent opportunity for farmers to. i'm
prove their. stock. Their hogs were
bred from the best in the country and
selected with care and at great expense
and farmers can rely on securing those
of good blood and from imported stock.

THE NCHEXE1NeION.
The Railroad Company has let the
contract for grading the Worthington
Il Sioux Falls Railroad, from Lu Verne
to Valley Springs, to MIR. Vincent.
We learn that work will begin at once,
and that the grading will probably be
done before winter sets in.s Y
'-' We notice by the Sioux Falls Panta-
graph that President Drake and other
railroad officers recently visited Sioux
Falls and submitted a proposition to
the people, as follows:
Ifthe citizens Of Minnenalia county
will vote us aid to the amonnt of $685.
900, and the village of Sioux Falls will
vote us an additional $1O, 900. we will
build and equip a railroad to, Sioux
Falls, on. or before Oct. 1st,, 1878. We
do not ask your people to give us 4 dol
lar or TO be bound to give, until we
have first completed the road ON or be-
fore the time mentioned. %,
The county will no doubt vote on
this proposition at the November cleo
ton and will vote the bonus. so that
next year about tins time we will be in

i, LETTER FROM MR.. BLOOM.

LETTER FROM Mr.. BLOOM,
The; following letter was sent to the
Ring organ, but as that paper refused
to publish it this week, it was handed
to US for publication:
EDITOR WoRTn1NGToN JOURNAL:
lam not DESTROYS of entering into any
newspaper controversy nor of having
any newspaper notoriety, but as nv
name was mentioned in your issue Of
Sept. IL, 1877, III connection with the
candidacy Of the office of Register of
Deeds, and that in an unfriendIy if not
ungentlemanly tone, feel called upon
to ask room III your columns for all an
swer to the charges made against me
i'll said article referred to. You saw.
''Mr. Bloom has no political strength
to back him. He has been considered a
standing candidate for the Office for two
years, but from what we can learn he
has not the slightest show of securing
the delegation from his own town Of
Seward" deny emphatically that I
have been, am now, or will be candi-
date for any Office at the approaching
County Convention. That my name
was mentioned for said office by some
OF my friends was no fault of mine, nor
at my suggestion, solicitation or re-
quest. SO far as competency is con-
cerned, however, 1 would say that
should no greater misfortune ever befall
the county than the entrusting of it's
records to my care, we will be fortu-
nate people. Whether have political
strength or not, matters but little to
me, but should it ever be my lot to be a
competitor Of any of the present (c)rav-
ing maniacs for office, they will find
that every ounce of my political strength
weighs pound. If to secure I'M office
the delegation must be secured, the
county will be spared the humiliation
of ever having me in any office, for un-
like your informant I will never be
found manipulating and packing town
caucuses nor begging them for my sup
port, and much less falsifying the good
name of my fellow-townsmen.

WHEAT RAISING.

WHEAT RAISING.
The American Cultivator, in urging
New England farmers to raise more
wheat, says:
A degree of independence is assured
TO the farmer who raises a crop the in
trinsic value of which admits of tran
portation to any part of the world, that
will command the cash in any market,
or that in any event is necessary fea-
ture In home consumption. Such q
product Is wheat; co-extensive with civ
1lization; nsed as food by the human
race for ages; esteemed to-day as the
highest type Of vegetable food; contain
Ing In admirably adjusted proportions
tho bone, the fat and the muscle form
Ing principles, sought for and literally
paid for by every household in New
England, to such 4 crop would we call
the especial attention Of every farmer.

thing ton has amonopo lized thec onntyof-.,
the Worthingt0n otiice-seekers that it
would not pay for any one outside of
town to hold the Offices, as the county
officers had to have their offices at the
county seat. that the compensation
was % tri6ing that no farmer could af-
ford 10 hold an Office. This ruse was
carried out to the very letter and met
with entire success, permitting, how
ever, one Office, which at that time was
hardly worth the paper on which the
certificate OF election was written, to
90 into the hands of a farmer. When
their term of service was about to ex<
p1re two years ago, the pins were set up
and wires pulled for their reelection.
There were some men in .Worthington,
however, manly and fearless enough to
oppose the reelection of the old officers,
among whom was the Editor of the
Worthington ADVANCE, and, as he
would not blow their horn, advocate
their reelection through his columns
and fly their political kite in general,
they established an organ of their own.
with charity toward all, With malice
toward none" -. Free and untram-
meled. The organ of no individual or
clique.' But there was still one pet
unprovided for. He, too, m nst have 4.
place to earn his bread .citho,.t the
sweat of his brow. This was easily
done as there was still one farmer on
the list and his position likely to soon
be a paying one. And here let me say
that great injustice was done to Il
good, deserving and true man. Be-
lieVing that it is known to most farm
ers who the otiice-seeking politicians
are in this county, I deem it unnecessa-
~ to name them here. It is we'll known
that we have a gang of the most des-
perate Ottice-seekers in this county that
ever cursed a community. 1t is our
Imperative duty to see that such of
them that are now III Office are elected
to step docn and o,t and that no one of
the oftice-huDters are chosen for any
office. Farmers we have Il duty to per-
form and now is the time to perform
that duty. We have no time to lose.
We must perform that duty ourselves
or it will be left undone. Let us for
once have free and independent coun-
ty convention. Let there be good and
sufficient notice given in every town
for caucus. See to it that every vot-
er in the town attends it. Let us
choose good and independent men to
represent us in the County Convention.
Let every town trot ont their men
whom they wish to support for Office,
and from their number choose the best
and most competent for Office.

THE MODERN PHdRISEE

"A recent number OF the Independent
| contained an article OH the Pharisees
and Sadt. ucees in which some home
thrusts were made at the bigoted, opin-
donated church members of to-day.
Christ never showed bitterness nor rid
icule except toward the bigoted and in
tolerant church members of his day,
and these he denounced in the severest
terms. The Independent says:
Our Pharis:,ism may not be as bad
rs that in Christ's time, but it is the
same in nature and is to be dealt with
III the same way. It is Il cold orthc-
doxy which prides itself on its ritual or
doctrinal rlghtneSs and despises all
those that are wrong. 1t refuses rec
ognition and fellowship of all those who
fail to come up to it's standard, and
when fully developed IS rs unspiritual
and worldly as it is unclaritable. It is
very sound on theism and inspiration:
it detests i.lidelitY; it consigns all un-
believers to perdition without a pang:
it follows, without seeking a reason or
allowing a question, the traditions
which lead up to the founder of the sect
by which it is calltd d, or the council or
assembly which formulated it's creed:
and this is it's test of religion. We
have among them now smaller pro-
portion-thanks to the power of Christ's
gospel-of those hypocrites who devour
widows houses and for pretense make
long prayers, and more Pharisees like
Simeon and Anna and Nicodemus and
Gamaliel and Saul; but there is Il very
large number yet III our churches Of
real Pharlsees, who do not carry their
religion into their common life, and
not IL few Christians who do, but who,
with the earneStness and cOnscien-
tiousness and faultlessness of Saul.
have not a little of his PI,arisee bigotrv
and intolerance, and who set Them
selves up to be by their ritual and FORM
al correctness, or by their advanced no.
!lnesS, the only true church, or, at
least, much superior, to the rest of it.
Now, we hold that such people are
not very much to be reasoned with, but
are to lie denounced with Il healthy and
righteous Indignation. Their error is
not in their opinions, which are very
likely correct; but III the conceit Of
their opinions. They vastly overesti-
mate the Importance of their opinions.
a good S:ldducee is better than a bad
Pharisee. A devout infidel is better
than all undevout Christian. A sweet
sinner is better than sour SAINT. In
morals or in religion this truth is pri-
mary, and not to be proved but assum-
ed: Badness is not to be argued with,
but to be rebuked. SO with all conceit.
and especially that most detestable of
all, religious conceit. lis to be ridi-
cnled and travestied, as was that of the
Pharisees by Christ when he pictured
one of them as saying: t'God, L thank
thee that am not as other men are. -
1t is to- lie denounced and cursed in the
spirit, if not in :; the words of Christ:
ny unto you Pharisees' hypocrites;;"
how can We escape the damnation of
hell?'' Thus severely, or mo~e mildly
if the Pharisaism; be of milder tyne;
but still ever by ridicule or rebuke is it
to lie met. -:

THIRTYHEVEN MILLIONS!

THIRTYSETEN MILLIONS! -.
Minnesota may well be excused this
year for being enthusiastic over her ST.
DOC, 900 bushels of wheat, her State Fair,
her exhilerating climate, her soil of the
river bottoms, etc. And she isn't the
sort of girl to keep still about it and
hide her $1,000, 900 bushels under can
dlestick, OF words to that effect. A
man writes to the editor of the Winona
Republican about those 81 ,0OO, COO bush
els as follows:
We had 4 most delightful time up
country. Every man l have seen has
wheat and Minnesota products on the
brain. The first time stepped out of
the hotel at st. Paul, a man tapped me
on the shoulder and remarked, 1--WE
have raised this year $1,000, 600 bushels
of wheat, thirty million bushels of
which we shall export" I thanked
him for the information and crossed
over to get shaved. The barber re-
marked. You are stranger.'' I did
not care about quarreling with the man
that was shaving me, so admitted the
fact; he lathered away while he cram
med me with the information that this
State had produced $1,000, 600 bushels
Of wheat, and that 10000, 600 would he
exported! On the steamer going up
Lake Minnetonka Il man ask me if I
was from the East. In my gnileless in:
nocence answered yes. Then didn':
he go on. He cornered me against the
wheel-house and told me that the State
had produced 100000 bushels of
wheat, and that 10000 600 bushels
would he sent out of the State. The
only time got free was when I got
Jerusha into Il small boat and went out
fishing. When I came back to Mime
apolis l saw a man at the Nicollet
House looming for mc,'' but I got a.
head of him. put my hands on his
shoulders and remarked: mo sir, am
not stranger. 1 was born in Mime
sofa, and let me tell you, it is a right
lively place. We raised this year tfir-
ty-seven million bushels of wheat,
twenty millions of oats, twelve mill
ions Of corn, two and a half millions of
potatoes, and 203 500 hogs" 1t has
done me a power Of good, and am
known about here now us Il man of con-
siderable general information.
