PRODUCTION TO the reading public, six
years ago, the Ledger has steadily adj
vanced in favor, and is now acknowl-
edged second to 10 paper of the kind

sistent with the present hard times.
That they have succeeded, and well,
too, the thousands of readers of the
Ledger scattered from Maine to Texas
and from Oregon to Florida will bear
testimony. The Chicago Ledger is a
large forty-eight column weekly paper,
which contains stories both complete
and continued, in each number, writ
ten by the best authors of the day, and
a great variety of Information interest,"

every particular to other papers of the
same character which sell for So a year.
Three copies of this valuable paper will

HOW IT WORKS.


A man by the name of Haag, of Kirk
wood, Iowa. who had been on spree,
recently, shot himself in the head in
his own saloon. The Enterprise says :. !:
Between q and 10 oeIock@in the
evening he was behind his own coun-
ter us usual. several men were in the
sal. on, and John was talking to them
and appeared to be in AL unusually
good humor, but suddenly pulled out a
four-barreled revolver and fired two
shots through the ceiling. He then
pointed the pistol 1T his head, saying,
s:seood.6ye. boys. have got my: work
in," and pulled the trigger, but as the
weapon did not go off; he cooked it
again, and by this time his wife, who
was in an adjoini 'g room, rushed: in
ana attempted to get the pistol away
from him, but he fired before she could
get it, the shot striking l.im. dir city in
the center of his forehead and the ball
lodging III his brain. He lived about
half an hour. during which time he
was unconscious.

SEED GRAIN FOR; GRASSHOPPER

Senator Rice, of Kandiyohi county,
has prepared a bill providing for the
distribution of seed to the counties Wis
tied by, grasshoppers last year. lie
nksitswill require 225, 900 bushels.
The bill provides that those who pro.
cure seed must contract to pay before
the LIST of Dec. next, with interest at 8
per cent, and 4 lien on the crop for Sc
curity. Mr.. Rice estimates that Kan.
diyohi county alone will require 40.0|)0
bushels. One more good crop in Min
nesota, it is hoped, will effectually ef-
face all traces of the grasshopper
sc0urge from our land.

TIE SILVER MANIA,

During our recent trip east we found
business comparatively at stand still.
In Chicago we heard of little or moth
ing but the failure of banks and bust
ness houses, the shrinkage and dead
ness of real estate, the distress of the
working classes for want of work, and
the general apprehension that 1878
is to be the hardest year since the crisis
came.
AS a panacea for this state of things,
We found the people turning to the re-
monetizatiOn Of silver. This seemed
to he the one all-absorbing public topic
which engrossed the attention of the
people and the press. Many look to
this measure as the chief one for secu-
ring the revival of business and the
easing up of the stringency of the mon
ey market. And 50 we remember it
was during the last Presidential cam
psign. Me'':looked to the settling of
the Presidential question for relief,
and vainly hoped that the Inauguration
OF one or the other Of the claimants
would bring back the flush times of the
war period.
But no one political or financial
measure can be depended upon for re-
lief. The whole business head is sick
and the business heart is faint, not
from any local disease but from gener-
al constitutional debility. The nation
had been ovcr-Worked and over-stimu-
lated, and the reaction had to come.
The crisis was in the nature of pros
tration or a paralysis necessary for
rest, careful dieting and gradual recov-
cry. No one stimulating drug, like
the Presidential question, or the silver
measure can put this sick nation fairly
on its feet again. We must all get
back to nature, to regular obedience
to the laws of financial and business
health, before the expected relief can
come.
And to this we are coming. The fe-
yer OF speculation is almost wholly al
1ayed and economy has been very gen.
orally introduced. In short time we
shall grow out of the present prostra.
tion and ENJOY business health and
prosperity again.
The new West is to lie much the
gamer by this prostitution east. Thou
sands III the east are preparing to sell
out what little they have left and to
come west and occupy our new lands
or begin business anew in our young
towns: Our plates are right side w
for full dinner next year and for a Sc
ries OF years to come.
The oil and Coal discoveries il the

ture of attraction to that country, and

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.


A circular announcing the Eleventh
Editorial Convention of Minnesota ed
itors, to be held at St. Paul, on Satur-
day next, Jan. 18th, is before us. Our
recent trip has taken 50 much of our
time that we shall not be able to at.
tend. Notwithstanding this, we would
attend if there were good prospect of
accomplishing something of. substan-
tial, practical benefit. The real diff
Guilty with 50 many newspapers is: that
they are partially owned and wholly
controlled by politicians outs ide of the
business. When all editor has the in
dependence to assert that a newspaper
is private property, and that it shall he
independent of political and party con-
troll, he not only incurs the ill-w;ll of
the machine politicians, but the regular
party-politician newspapers join the
hue and cry, like so many hunters and
hounds after fox, and endeavor to
cry him down. We would suggest to
the Committee to report this rs al. adj
ditional subject for consideration to he
added to the eleven suggested in the
circular.
Among the subjects for considera-
ton We notice these two:
Which is the most preferable in con-
Quoting newspaper, glory or cash :?
Can anything be done to prevent the
editorial fraternity from blackening the
character of their brethren, and max
ing them appear worse than they actu-
ally are?
Our opinion is that if the editors of
the State would settle the point we
have suggested, viz that newspapers
should be Independent of party and ma
chine-politician control, they would
settle the two questions above: given
When editors quit working for the
mere glory of party and of their con.
trolling politicians, and get down to
business, they will secure both money
and self-respect, and will cease defam-
ing each other ut the instigation of the
party factions which control them. 1t
is high time that the better class of cd
itors combine to put the business upon
= better basis and to take the country
press from outside control.

THE CYNy1

The cynic is one who never sees I,
good quality in il man and never fails
to see Il bad one. He is the human
owl, vlgilant in darkness and blind tu
light; housing for verlnin, and never
seeing noble game. The cynic puts all
human actions into two classes-ope,,-
ly bad and secretly bad. All virtue,
and generosity and disintereststlness
are merely the appearance of good, but
selfish at the bottom. He holds that
no man does good thing except for
profit. The effect of his conversation
upon your feelings is to chill and scar
them to send you away sour and mo
rose. His criticisms fall upon every
lovely thing, like frost upon the flow
ers.-Deecher.

THE SIRENS or THE SENA TE

It is the siren of the gallery and the
ante-room who sends her card and her
invitation to the senator at his desk.
She never talks of ''rights.'' She cares
for no ''cause" but her own cause of
ease and pelf. She shakes her tresses,
'.banged' and usually blonde; she
lifts her alluring eyes, and nine times
out of ten makes him do as she listeth.
No wonder, when the earnest appeal of
honest women reaches his hands. he
has neither response, honesty, honor
nor justice to give it.

An exchange, in speaking of farm

An exchange, in speaking of farm
ers reading, says:
One Kentucky farmer appropriates
the yearly product of one acre of lis
farm to the purchase of reading mat
ter for himself and family.
What a splendid suggestion this is for
our Minnesota farmers. Just think
what an amount of reading matter the
proceeds of Il Minnesota acre would
procure. Why, the nan who would
follow that rule here, would soon find
himself the possessor of an extensive
library, besides taking all the newspa-
pers and periodicals he could read. The
time is fast approaching when the ma
jority of the farming population of our
country will he as we'll posted OH all
the important questions of the day as
are the politicians and Statesmen. 1t
is state Of things much to be desired,
as it will limit the power of the politi-
clan and more firmly establish that of
the people.

This is what a glass pyramid Of Min
nesota wheat would say to the world at
the Paris exposition:
No. Minnesota wheat.
SiXty-four pounds to the bushel.
The lest spring wheat produced in
America.
1t commands a higher price by sever
al cents than any other wheat.
The flour manufactured from it is
graded considerably higher than any
other in the American market.
Minnesota has larger milling inter-
est and produces more flour than any
other State in the Union.
Forty million bushels IF this wheat
were produced in Minnesota in 1877.
In 1850 Minnesota contained but 900
souls and had but 1000 acres under
cmltlva, ion. In 1877 it ,ntained $780,
