EdHOr Of Me LEE :

Edior ofth DEE:
 What are the farmers to do, is an in- quiry, one hears almost every day and the inference is what can they do to make their farms pay. As this is gruzmg town, it is an important one. Beef, milk, butter, fruit, and poultry, being the staple articles. Beef has been a special ty in this town for half q century, and still is, now does that pay? In passing the market of B. Blackman X Son. I saw what l called fine quarters of beef. Upon inquiring, found that it was raised and fattencd by J. H. Botsford of Pales- tine. He sold two of them. One weigh cd $50 and had 70 pounds of ruff fat the other one 760, and 5 pounds of fat, and as we weigh men and steers on the same scales, the first when he dies, and ask how much is he worth? The other, how much fat. So we come to the conclusion that they were q little extra. Upon en- luiry we found that they were two years and eight months old and that they were worth $7 per hundred, and at that pricu they would cost $li2 and 70 cents CT S5G and thirty-iye cents each, Now will that pay? Let Us look at the figures. Nov when they were ten weeks old they would have brought fifteen dollars each, deducting that out of $11200 and leaves $82.70, forthe keeping five steers 12Gweeks which would be siXty-fye cents or thirty five and d half cents each'per week. Now a farm that can raise twenty head of young stock would pay six dollars and fifty cents per week. Or one that will raise forty head would pay thirteen dol lars, or six hundred dollars per annum. How is that for stock raising? Do not forget the figures, for next week we will take up milk, FARMERS CLUB.

all of its influence to the pushing westward

entering upon little side private speculations
like the one referred to, and others.
Space will not permit us this morning to
throw some side lights on this scheme,

again, and very extensively, if necessary.

STRAIT Il CIPHER.

Search the records of the Congressiona
Record for the past four years and you will
fail to find any record of Horace B. Straits
presence in Congress, save an occasional
motion to adjourn. Even that motion he
makes by direction of some intelligent mem
Der, as he has no idea when even such a
motion is appropriate. He is an absolute
nonenity, and his alphabetical location on
the roll is all that enables him to know how
to vote. By the time his name is reached
he obtains the party cue and votes
accordingly. Even this stupidity
might be endurable if it was serviceable
but since the Republicans have lost control
of the House he is the veriest cipher in ex-
istence. It takes man of brains to secure
favors from hostile political majority. It
is sufficiently difficult to obtain them when
the applicant is in accord with the dominant
political party, but the idea of man of
Straits calibre securing anything from a
Democratic House is preposterous.
The next House is certain to be Demo
cratic. There is not shadow of doubt
upon that point. The Senate is already
lost to the Republicans. It is two years be-
fore Minnesota can change her Senatorial
representation and secure Senator in &C.
cord with the majority. 1t is highly import
ant therefore that Democrat should be
sent to the House without delay in order to
save Minnesota from being wholly unable to
provide for herself. Mr.. Poehler will be
heard and respected on the floor of Congress
and will be able to labor effectually for his
constituency. In a young and but partially
developed State like Minnesota, where go
much is needed, it is even more important
than in the older communities to be in
accord with the majority. If Minnesota OK
poets to secure any favors from the next
Congress she must not send solid Repub-
lican delegation. No Republican will occupy
prominent place on committees, and
in the committees, where all important
measures are crystallized, Minnesota will be
eclipsed unless she furnishes a Democratic
representative.

FIGURES WILL LIE.

Especially If They are Mnnapulated by
Sherman.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Secretary Sherman's "fggers," which
have recently been given out at the Treasury
in the shape of tables, having for an object
the making of political capital, are always
suspicious, and for the reason that they will
not bear either analysis or close scrutiny.
1t will be remembered that Senator Thur
man, in his famous financial speech, quoted
from the finance reports of the Treasury
Department from 1854 to 1870 to illustrate
the economy of Democratic rule; and be-
sides the figures for that period he
quoted those for the years from 1869
to the year 1875 as an illustration of
the lavishness and extravaganza of the Re-
publican party. The senator, by deducting
from the total expenses of the government
during the Republican period the amounts
paid for pensions and for interest on the
public debt-admitting that these were war
expenses, and not properly chargeable to the
Republican policy-held that the per capita
cost of the government under Democratic
rule was $1.94 per annum, while under
Republican administrations it had averaged
$3.45. Senator Thurman was correct
in his conclusions, but to offset his state
ment Sherman had prepared table covering
the period mentioned in the Senator s
speech, to show that the per capita expense
was only 1910. The table is ingeniously
prepared to show that from 1869.to 1876 the
war expenses Of the government were more
than half of its entire expense. To make
these expenses swell up SO as to distract at
tention from Republican profigacy, the Sec
rotary. in computing the war expense,
charged to it the cost of assessing and col
Letting the internal revenue, which had no
legitimate right to be thus charged up, and
which, if deducted, will make about the ex-
pense which Sherman charges in his speech
and which only by trickery can the govern
ment attempt to gainsay.

PROOF POSTTIYE.

We desire to call public attention to the
following article from the Fergus Falls Adyo-
cate, which was printed in that paper and
copied by the GLOBE previous to Mr.. Hodges
movement in the Chamber Of Commerce:
We daily hearing complaints of the un.
fair way in which the wheat which is taken tc
the st. Paul & Pacific railroad is being graded
Wheat that without question is taken for No, l
at Perham and other points on the Northern
Pacific is graded No. 2 at Campbell and the
other stations on the st. Paul & Pacific. Then
again, IL cents more are paid per bushel on the
Northern Pacific than on the Main Line, which
would seem to be too great difference. Now
the reason for this is-First the wheat market
on the st. Paul & Pacific is under the control
of the Minneapolis mill ring. They have the
only buyers at the stations on the upper end of
the road. They fix the price and the grade
and having no competition they fix both the
price and the grade to their own advantage. On
the Northern Pacific the position is reversed
There, there is competition, and if the mil
ring wants wheat they have to give as much as
or New York markets. Under these circum.
stances we would advise those Of our farmers
who can do so, to take their wheat to the
Northern Pacific, and we shall keep ou
readers posted on the changes that may take
place in prices, etc. The building of the Min
ioeoots ANoIUue Will SCOp GnlS eXGOrG1OQ In GW(
ways: 1t will make oolnpeJition, anl vii cause
mills to be built at Fergus, which will also ado
to the competition for wheat. But, unfortu-
nately, the Minnesota Northern is not built this
year. and we have to dance to the tune that the
Minneapolis Mill Ring plays for us, with Bill
Washburn turning the crank with his 40-rur
mill. Moral: Don't vote for Washburn fo
Congress.
Here is plain statement of facts which
have played no part in the controversy thus
far, but which prove conclusively the robber,
charged upon the Washburn wheat ring. I
answers at once the argument of the rims
that they take no advantage of the farmer
and pay the value of wheat for shipment
All of the investigation which can be made
all the arguments and sophistry of the RIM
and their defenders capnot satisfactoril,
show why the grade of wheat should SO wide
J ~ differ between stations on the Northern
Pacific and on the st. Paul & Pacific. TIL
difference IN price between the same good
at the points named, is another conclusiv
point. 1t demonstrates the Importance o
the agitation now in progress, and fixes tn
responsibility where it belongs-upon the
Washburn wheat ring.

defendant at his request one day and that he
travelled, de-, twenty miles in all, and
that said services were worth 1920
ana the testimony does not show
any agreement to pay any specific sum nor to
pay IN any particular way. The rulings of the
court, therefore, in receiving the evidence which
was objected to upon the question of damages
were erroneous, and the judgment it rendered
must be set aside, unless it clearly and affirma-
lively appears that prejudice resulted-as
the return does not purport to contain all the
evidence, it cannot be definitely ascertained
upon what ground the judgment was rendered
or upon which of the several causes of action
stated IN the complaint. That the Judgment
was not affected by the evidence which was re-
ceived under the objections does not, therefore,
clearly appear and cannot be said that the de-
PENDANT was not prejudiced by the erroneous
rulings.
Judgment reversed.

The Republican papers in their anxiety to
screen Washburn will very soon be denying
that the Washburn mills exist at Minneapo-
lis. They are shouting the chorus, Wash
burn is not member of the Millers' Asso-
citation, ignoring the fact that he is part
owner of the largest Touring mills in Min
neapolis, and, simply as matter of convent
ence, is represented OH the books of the ring
by his partners. One of his enthusiastic
advocates assures us that Washburn's forte
is stealing pine instead of cheating the
farmers, and argues that his success in the
former line proves his innocence in the
latter.

compelled them to take every morning the
slush that they dare not refuse to print and

pendence-this man lectures the people of
this city and it's chamber of commerce daily
through the editorial columns of paper
printed in our own city.
And why? Simply because the cham
Der of commerce of St. Paul
proposes to inquire into the reasons which
are operating upon the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company to induce it to construct
short line of railroad that there is reason
to believe is or Will be hostile to the interests
of this city.
It is strange, passing strange, that when
the interests of a people arc menaced the
Republican journals are silent, and the hope
of the people rests upon Democratic paper
like the GLOBE. For we propose to give a
few serious words to this matter now, and
all the believing Of Bill King will not divert
us nor our readers from the point.
The Northern Pacific Railroad is a national
institution. The nation has bled and nearly
died in supporting it, for the money that
Jay Cooke beguiled from the widows. Or
phans, clergymen, and village and rural cap
italists, and squandered with reckless prodi
gality on this road, and his visionary schemes
precipitated upon this nation the awful dis
tress which has afflicted it since the day he
failed to kite and keep afoat the bonds of
this company, of which the people were
everywhere becoming distrustful.
st. Paul held her peace and allowed the
improvement of the water power at St.. An
thony Falls to become national matter-a
shameful and humiliating silent partnership
that the GLOBE would never have counte-
nanced, and will never allow to be repeated
without exposure.
The Northern Pacific Railroad is already
loaded down with one lease that enricbes
one or more of its managers at the expense
of its stockholders and the nation, II now
proposes another one. Corruption grows b1
what it feeds upon.
And now if the schemes of private ag
grandizement are likely to be inimica
to the interests of ST.. Paul, we propose
to fight them to the bitter end, both here an6
in Washington. For be it remembered thai
