The long struggle over the Regis
tership Of the Benson Land Office is
at last over, and our friend Darwin
S. Hall, Of Beaver Falls, holds the
winning card, the President having
sent his name to the Senate last Fri.
day. Although Mr.. Halls claims
for the position were supported by
our entire delegation in Congress,
the appointment hung fire a long
time, because Mr.. Schurz claimed
that Civil Service Reform demand
ed the promotion Of young Mr.. Bra
den, who has been acting register
for the last three or four years. Mr..
B5aden no doubt is ayery competent
young man, but Mr.. Hall is equally
competent, having filled the most
important office in Renville county
to the entire satisfaction of his con-
stituents, and he is at present clerk
Of the District Court. Mr.. Hall is
III earnest and active republican,
and a gentleman in every sense Of
the word, although he did su1nma-
rily make Gen. Jennison sit down in
the Red Wing convention a year
and half ago.

PUBLISHING d! THE LAWS.
The Question OF their IShsac by the
News papers ForcibEy Considered.


st, Cloud Journal
The publishers of this State, as a
class, have a fair degree of self re-
spect, enough, at least, to prevent
them from scrambling around after.
a few pennies which the Legislature
might see fit, with the permission of
the executive departments, to toss
them. The margin Of profit, even
at the present price and with the
economical manner Of having the
work done, is not very great, and
the loss of the whole business would
not very materially effect the receipts
Of one out Of every twenty Minnesota
publishers, but there is a principle
involved in which they do feel inter
estea. The demands upon the news
papers for services in behalf Of the
State are almost unending and I'M
limited. If any movement is on foot
which may result in benefit to the
State, the newspapers are called on
to carry it through. IF advantages
are to be set forth, if misstatements
are to be corrected, if immigration
is to be invited, the burden is rolled
over on the shoulders Of the news.
papers. The fact is, that the news
papers of Minnesota have done more
to make the State what it is to-day
than all other influences combined.
And yet whenever any matter comes
| up, however nneritorious in itself, by
which the publishers Of these papers
may receive some slight pecuniary
profit, the work Of trimming and
cutting and pairing begins. IT'S at
best very small business, and re-
fleets no particular credit on any
who are engaged in it.
Personally, we do not care a cop
per whether the law is retained OF
repealed. This paper has not BEEN
specially protited by it at any time.
But we believe that if it is worth
while passing laws, I'll worth while
furnishing them to the people, es.
Ipecially as a man is not permitted
to plead Ignorance of the law in ban
Of judgement for its violation. We
!. believe that if it is worth $65, 900 in
Eper diems and incidentals to have
! these laws passed by 147 men, it is
worth from $4,000 to SIG, 900 to
have them properly fnrnised to TOO,
loco people. And we further believe
THAT the plan contemplated by the
4 present law IS the best and most ef.
i ficacious, and, all things considered
] the cheapest that can be employed.

There are men in every communi-
ty who think they know how II
newspaper ought to be conducted ;
while, at the same time, they are so
charitable as to believe that those
who happen to be newspaper men
by profession have no capacity
whatever for Imposition. We have
known many such men to be so
much in love with themselves in
this way, as to drop their lifelong
pursuits and engage in the newspa-
per business, just to show the world
how a paper ought to be run; and
in almost every instance we have
witnessed as stupid aud as grand
failures as the world ever witness,

agreed upon subject to the con.
sideration of the Berlin congress !:
l. There shall be two Bulgarian
prOvinces-One north of the Bal

south of the Balkans mot to touch
the Egean sea, and its name to be

Christian government, and the gov

English colonies.
2. The Turkish troops shall with.
draw from the latter province, and
not re.enter it.
3. England deplores, but will not

4. England reserves the right to
discuss in the congress all interna-

not to further advance her frontier

Preparing Wool For Market.

Walter Brown g. SOIL, New York.
send to tue Utica Herald the fol-
lowing sound suggestions on what
is necessary ior wool growers il
they would secure a better price :
There is no doubt that the wool
of New York State is, in strength,
texture and working qualities,
equal to any grown in this country,
and the whole reason why it is
sold in the markets so much lower
than the woods from Ohio, is on ac-
count of the great loss in shrink.
age from dirt and grease, i'll pre-.
pairing it tor the cards at the mill.
The first point considered by the
manufacturer in buying his raw
material, is the probable cost of
the wool sorted, and the nearer
the wool is brought, to that con.
Sideration, when he examines it,
the more surely can he calculate
that cost, aud the more willingly
pay the intrinsic value for such
wools, where the chances of n mis-
taken judgment are diminished,
than for greasy, heavy parcels, on
which it is more difficult for him to
calculate the loss in shrinkage.
Another feature of the case which
the growers should consider, is
TINT with heavy, half-washed feeces,
when some months elapse before
they 90 into conSIlmntiOu. the
grease becomes set in the staple,
and the additional trouble and ex-
pense to the manufacturer in rem
dering them clean must naturally
reflect back upon the grower. In
this connection we would mention
that the farmer should not let his
sheep run too long after washing
and before shearing, otherwise the
grease will start out again and in
time give the wool yellow and
appearance.

Mississippi Grain.
Natchez Democrat.


AS an evidence of what can be
done IN the way of growing grain
in our section, we had yesterday
from that well managed and pro-
ductive plantation, "DunbartOn," )"
the residence of Col. J. F. III. Clai.
borne, specimens of three kinds of
grain, all perfectly and thoroughly
Inatured. The first was of red
rust proof oats, which was well
ripened and ready to harvest. The
next was the white Dutch variety
of oats, which is IL little less for
ward than the first, but is SO tar
matured as to make its maturity
certain. The third specimen is one
of both bearded and beardless
wheat, both of which has headed
out finely, and the beardless varie-
ty is ready for the harvest, while
the other is not yet entirely ripe
All these specimens of grain show
plainly what can be done in our eli
mate, and that there is no reason
why We should not have al
home not only oats and barley fol-
food for stock, but also Il good sup,
ply of wheat, to market before that
from any other part Of the country
is matured. The specimens of
wheat from Dunbarton isas fine
as can be raised in any country,
and Mr.. Logan, the excellent man
ager on the plantation, assures us
that it was grown OH land which
has been iu cultivation for about
three.quarters of century.
