MINNESOTA WHEAT.

The Sprouting Quality of No. 2 of Last
Years Crop-Science and Practice in Con-
Hict-The Former PrOnOnuces it Unfit for
Use and the Latter Shows it All Right.
MILWAUKEE, March 14.-In an article in
the New York Graphic of the 18th inst. it is
stated that the result of some scientific tests
made by professors of agricultural chemistry
indicate that the sprouting qualities of last
years No. 2spring wheat have been seriously
damaged owing to the excessive heat which
prevailed just before harvest in some por-
tons of the west, notably Minnesota.
In contradiction of this statement Mr.. Hunt
ting, of McGregor, Iowa, who is largely in
terested in wheat lands in Minnesota, exhib-
tied in this city to-day box of wheat plants
of health and vigorous growth, that had
been terminated from shrivelled, bleached
and shrunken kernels, that weighed from As
to At pounds to the bushel, and which would
not grade better than rejected. The kernels
were counted before planting, and not one
failed to sprout. The plants equal in ap-
pearance the sprouts grown from the best
No. wheat. Mr.. Hunting has talked with
number of farmers, all of whom
agree that this light wheat will terminate to
an extent equal with. the heavier and better
qualities and the majority of them intend
using it for seeding in preference to paying.
the present price for No. 1. In Mr.. Hunt
tings opinion, based on information from
farmers and producers, there is no cause for
alarm as stated in the Graphic article con-
corning the terminating qualities of even
the poorest of last years wheat crop.

IMMIGR4TION.

Meeting of the Delegation Bound for Chi
cagO.
The GLOBE has alluded to the national
convention to foster Irish immigration, to be
held in Chicago on St. Patrick's day. Dele
cations will be in attendance from Mime
sofa, the delegates regularly appointed being
the following:
From he Minnesota Catholic Colonization
bureau-Dillon O. Brien, Hon. Michael Doran
Hon. j. F. Meagher, P. 81. Rahilly, M. J. To-
her.
From the Minnesota Colonization company
Anthony Kelly, John Grace, Michael R. Prem
dergast. Henry O German, P. Fl. Kelly, Thomas
Brennan, Thomas McSorley Hon. Hugh Dur
ham, William O'Mulcahy, Richard Ireland,
John Curran, M. j. O. Conner, Thomas Grace
Rev. James McGolrick, Rev. Father Power, Dr.
Collins.
Last night the above named gentlemen
met at the Metropolitan hotel to complete
arrangements for leaving for Chicago to-day
at 11:25 o'clock.
Reports, etc., were compared and finished
for presentation at the convention. The
material interest of Minnesota in securing
immigration is committed to worthy repre-
sentatives, and their object will be to urge
upon the convention the desirabiiity of this
State as location to which irish em1grants,
and those in Eastern cities can be invited
with the sure prospect of lettering their
condition. Everything was prepared for the
start to-day. The delegates will be absent
until the latter part of next week.

parisOn.

New Dress and Enlarged-Its Position Po-
itically and Religiously, With Com
parison.
CHICAGO, March 14.-The Times to-mor-
row. in DOMINIC new dress and appearing as
quadruple sheet, and in considerably enlarg-
ed form, makes the following announcement
editorially as to the future political course
of the paper: The Times will continue to
maintain its perfect independence of po-
litical parties and religious sects and facts of
all sorts, and will discuss all essential public
questions from the high standpoint of i'm
partial convictions. AS to men as candidates
for political Office it will support that man
who is nearer right than his competitor or
competitors on material questions of public
policy, and the filter or fttest for the place
sought, whatever his party designation. Thus
for the next Presidency as the salvation is
now presented between Secretary Sherman
or Blaine on the one side and Hendricks or
Thurman on the other, it would prefer either
of the former to either of the latter, and so
between Illden and Grant, it would infinitely
prefer the former, because, Objectionable as
Tllden is in some respects, he would be I'M
speakably more desirable than Grant, whose
infiiction upon the country for another
period would be the direst of calamities. OF
all the gentlemen now prominently before
the public, Bayard is preferable, but these
are mentioned only as examples.

Publishing the La,cs.
TCurrie Pioneer.I

1t is mysterious to Us how a sheet pre-
tending economy can find cheek enough-it
is nothing else-to ask the legislature to let
it control the publication of thess laws when,
at the same time, the State pays for six
daily papers for each member within its
chambers, most of them being published in
st. Paul and contain repetition of the
days doings,'a large number of which are
not even opened. But this is horse of an
other color. The country press must con-
sent to be swallowed up by this shark in
the form of city daily, and our subscribers,
many of whom preserve these supplements
from time to time, compelled to sub
scribe for the Pioneer Press in order to OBJ
tain them. Some parties claim that the fight
is not against the country press, but in oppo-
sition to the Newspaper Union of St. Paul.
If so, we are the sufferers, as 1t is impossible
for us to put the laws in type within the
time required by law, even if we had the
material, and the expense would be more
than the income. The Newspaper Union
can furnish them at little profit to the pub
fishers, making saving in the composition,
thus making it source of revenue
to the pioneer Offices and enabling
their subscribers to obtain them
for instruction and reference. Would it not
be we'll to let the Bill King organ have the
contract to run the State as it sees fit. II
has now taken upon itself the management
of several counties, and an extension of it's
powers cannot in the least impair its execu-
tive abilities. It is capable of managing
the affairs of the world as we'll as those of
the insignificant city of st. Paul. What say
you, brother publishers of the State papers:

A. McAlpine, of New York; E. w. Allen, of
Cincinnati, and Christian Ak, of Baltimore.
In the afternoon meeting of manu-
facturers of plug tobacco was held, at which,
after considerable discussion, resolution
was adopted favoring an advance in prices
for March delivery corresponding with the
recent advance in leaf tobacco, especially in
white filters. A committee was appointed
to advise all manufacturers of the action of
the meeting.

CONTINUED EXCITEMENT.
New York, March 14.-The interest and
excitement over the pedestrian contest is in
creasing and tonight there are over 5000
persons present. The contest is narrowed
down to Rowell and Ennis and the betting
tonight was to l on Rowell, 8 to 1 against
Ennis and 30 to against Hartman. The
latter is now struggling to make $50 miles
and get share of the gate money. Rowell
is constantly Missed and bad feeling is being
manifested. He does not mind the Kissing
and trots along in the same style
he started Monday morning. Ennis
is great favorite and in splendid
form, walking and running easily, encouraged
meanwhile by applause and cheering remarks.
Hartman appears to be used up completely,
and walks slowly with great difficulty. Ennis
ran his 382nd mile in 83, which is the fast
est since the match began. Rowell states if
he wins he will return to the third man, pro-
vided he sticks to the track, his stake of $500.
Ennis completed 400 miles at 9:41, amid
most tumultuous applause, and left the track
AL ~
on the track, and had completed 387 miles.

and then went off the track very much
used up man.
Ennis came on at 1887, looking very
fresh, and started off amid great applause,
at rapid gait He finished his 4O3d mile
at 1919. He was then but 20 miles behind
Rowe]l. and the excitement was intense.
Rowell, who went off at 9:45, came on at
1926 and commenced walking rapidly.

riman was drugged by his other trainers.
The matter will be fully investigated.
