the Republican poll has grown amazingly,
while that of the Democratic party has not
perceptibly diminished. It is folly to ac-
count for this by attributing it to the natural
increase of the voting population since the
last election or to the extraordinary enthu-'
siasm that prevailed for Garfield. 1t was
unquestionably due to frauds of the most
unblushing description, perpetrated not only
by the supervisors bat by the judges and
clerks of election. 1t is to be hoped that the
committees appointed by the Democrats will
succeed in ferreting out every instance in
which the ballot boxes have been tampere
with, and prosecute the guilty parties to
conviction. It makes no difference whether
those guilty are Democrats or Republicans.
They should be punished to the utmost ex-
tent of the law. When the purity of the
ballot box is assailed the integrity of repub-
lican institutions is menaced, for without q
free and fair ballot and true count of the
result it will be impossible to maintain the
republic.
1t is possible, and even probable, that if
| the alleged frauds are fully proven the fact
would not change the result of the election.
1t is a principle of law that fraud vitiates
every contract, and in several instances this
principle has been applied to elections where
fraud has been proved. But as a rule the
judges are too partisan to rule against the
party to which they belong. Hence there is
little hope that they will reverse an election
if by SO doing they turn one of their politi-
cal associates out of Office. But partisan con-
siderations will not prevent them from pun
ishing those who have committed frauds,
for the people would resent the exhibition
of leniency to such persons in most en-
phatic manner. An example is needed to
deter others from the commission of this
offense against the rights of the people.
The future good conduct of election judges
can only be secured by keeping before their
eyes the certainty of being found out and
the assurance of disgrace and punishment.

WHEAT GROWING.

HOsc to Increase the Yield Greatly-Une
Peck Nore5Than Enough Seed Per Acre--
Fifty Grains to the Head, and Larger
Grains.
London Ninteenth Century for November.
The description of "Our New Wheat
Field in the Northwest" in the Nineteenth
Century for July, 1879, is from an imperial
point of view, eminently satisfactory as rem
dering us, 30 long as we retain the command
OF the seas, independent of foreign supply.
1t is, nevertheless, the startling announce
ment to our wheat growers at home of
competition for many years to come of
far more formidable character than any with
which they have hitherto had to come.
The cost at which an acre of wheat can be
put on shipboard at port nearer to Liver
pool than New York is will, with freight
added, be 80 low that, under the present sys-
tenn OF cultivation in this country, it could
not be more probably grown here.
Moreover, the wonderful facilities for in
land water carriage will for long period
enable the cultivator of even the more re-
mote Of the prairies to maintain competi-
ton almost as fierce af that which threatens
us in the immediate future. 49,
1t does not admit of doubt that, If the pro-
duce of Great Britain has already reached its
limit in its present average of about thirty
bushels of wheat per acre Gf, indeed, it is
really 80 much), the position of the English
farmer with regard to that cereal is Q truly
hopeless one.
What, then, is to be done? Is there, in
fact, no hope for US? After all the boosted
progress OF English agriculture and il has.
indeed, been great-are we now to succumb
with the humiliating confession that We can
do no more?
Had similar competition threatened the
farmer of Arthur Young's day, when the
land OF this country produced but some six
teen or seventeen bushels of wheat per acre,
what would have been thought of the man
who then suggested to the farmer that his
| produce might be increased-nay, even
| doubled? Would he have been regarded as
| anything but, to use the mildest term, the
| merest visionary? And yet since that time
the crop has been nearly doubled! Is there
| any more real reason now for assuming that
we have reached the limit of production?
| Can it be said with any degree of truth
that ell possible means of increasing the
crop have been already tried in vain
Let Us consider of what the wheat crop
consists. 1t is nota mystery, a lost art, OF
| anything beyond our comprehension. On
the contrary, it is very simple affair, in.
deed-so many ears of wheat filled, or part
ly filled according to the SEASON. with
grains. To obtain larger crop, then, it is
plain that we must have more ears, or ears
| with more grain in them, or both.
1t Is very singular fact, indeed, that, no
matter what the quantity of seed sown, the
| number of ears of wheat produced per acre
is, in the absence of injurious circumstan-
ces, virtually the same-about 100000
the different quantities of seed having been
sown each under the best conditions of time
and SPACE.

DISHONESTY At ELECTIONS

The testimony in the case of Fisher, 9
Republican supervisor of election at Gin
cinnati, shows conclusively that he was
guilty of deliberate attempt to stuff the
ballot-box, which came very near proving
successful. There is no positive knowledge
that the plan SO ingeniously worked by him,
was not more successful at other polls
throughout the city, and this may account
not only for the unexpectedly large Repub-
lican majority in Hamilton county, but for
the fact that the proportion of votes to
population was the largest ever known in
the city.
That frauds were committed elsewhere
than in Cincinnati by the Republicans is
eoncIusively shown by the returns. In many
places, especially in the State of New York,

eyes," and this time he comes down tri-
umphantly: "but, you know, you could not
upon large scale plant corn in any way at
all approaching this; and, even if you could
do 80, the Land would not be ready in Sep
tember."
AS matter of fact, any ordinary corn
drill may be easily arranged as to plant prac-
tically and without unusual expense in the
manner described, Besides the developed
ears containing more than double the num-
Der of grains, the mere comparative size OF
the grain thus grown is such as alone to give
40 per cent. increase of crop.

The Republicans seem to have readopted
their old tactics of contesting the seats of
Democrats elected to Congress in all cases
where the majority is not overwhelming.
AS they will have a majority in the next
House there will no doubt be wholesale
slaughter of the Democrats, as of Yore. AL
though the present House is largely Demo
cratic and dozen Republicans seats have
been contested, not one of them has been
ousted. 1t will be interesting to compare
the Republican with the Democratic record
in this respect.

afternoon Session i.

The matter of dog tax was now brought
up for final action. The dog law now ir
force in the State of New York was read by
the secretary and by vote of the board
recommended to the legislature for adoption
in Minnesota.
Gov. Pillsbury, and Superintendent OF
Public Instruction David Burt, were then
| introduced. The secretary read the resolu-
ton of 1nquiring into to management of
the Agricultural College, and Gov. Pillsbury
took the floor and explained the action of
the board of regents in satisfactory manner
In lucid and clear statement he condensed
the facts related tina the
inquiry, and gave the board
an understanding of the causes which have
led to whatever public dissatisfaction which
has existed against the institution, and then
left the floor for Mr. Burt. The latter pre-
sented the gist of all the facts pertinent to
the inquiry in succinct address of only q
few moments duration, candidly and direct
y. He showed that in the first year of the
College there were 20 students of the scien-
tific to z of the classic course; that in the
second year there were 81 OF the former
to 10 of the latter; that in the third year
there were SO in the scientific course TO IL in
the classics; in the fourth year So scientific
students and Ia classic. In 1878 there were
68 who selected any studies they preferred
to pursue, and a very small portion indeed
took up "a course Of study bearing upon agri-
cultural pursuits. The burden of both Mr.
Burt's and Gov. Pillsbury's testimony was
to the effect that nearly all the students ex-
hlbited a tendency to eschew agricultural
and choose other pursuits. Both gentle
men freely expressed themselves as eourting
the fullest inquiry into the affairs of the in
stitution, and as being pleased to appear
before the board and give the best informa-
ton In their power on all subjects connected
Herewith.
The substance of the remarks of both
gentlemen and the statistics submitted is
that the young men of the State who have
taken courses in the college almost uni
versaily prefer to select some other
pursuit than that of farming. This ten
dency appears especially strong in farmers
sons as shown by their choice of studies; and
therefore the institution itself was not to be
entirely blamed for its non-success in the
agricultural department.. 1t cannot be ex-
pected to turn out farmers, nor educated
agriculturists when none will study for the
