THE Democratic leaders who are so anx-
lously bending their energies and using
such dirty and disreputable means to in
duce workingmen to believe that Gen. Gar
field favored Chinese labor and immigration
are requested by the National View, the
Greenback organ, to direct their attention to
the fact that the Democratic planters of
Louisiana are importing large numbers o.
Chinese from Cuba to work on their planta-
tions. White men refused long ago to be
driven by the slaveocracy of the South, and
since the War colored men have begun to
assert their independence. 1t seems neces-
sary to the existence of the Southern bull
dozers to have some kind of slaves, and the
importation of the Chinese from Cuba is
believed to be only the beginning of an ac-
tive and increasing trade in Chinese cheap
labor by the Bourbons of the South. The
National View calls on all worlingmen who
value their independence to vote against the
party of the Solid South because of this it's
latest effort to degrade labor, and for sever
al other good and sufficient reasons.

The bread and shelter of hundreds of thous-
ands oil working men are in peril, but Hancock
does not open his mouth Contrast his silence
and indifference with the plain, straightfor-
ward words of General Garfield, who meets
the question squarely, saying in his letter.
SIN reference to our customs laws, a policy
should be pursued which will bring revenues to the
Treasury, and will enable the labor and capital EN-
poyed in our great industries to compete fairly in
our own markets with the labor and capital of for
eign producers. We legislatefor the people of the
United States and not for the whold world and it
is our glory that the American laborer is more in
tellgent and better laid than his foreign eompeti-
TOR. Our country cannot be independents unless its
people, with their abundant natural resources, pos
sess the requisite skill at any time to clothe, arm
anu equip themselves for war; and in time of peace
70 produce all the necessary implements of labor.

after the October elections, says that one

So far ~ We can ascertain, the
sentiment of the Republicans of this
section is decidedly in favor of the re-
election of Senator Mcmillan. When
it ia remembered that six yeats ago
he was called from the highest judi
cial position in the State to accept
the Office he now holds, without hav.
ing in any sense been = candidate by
any efforts Of his own, and that he
has always discharged his duties
with great ability, fidelity and hon.
esty, it seems to us but right that
this honor should be again conferred
upon him. Senator McMillan's high
character a. citizen aud statesman
has won for him the respect and es'
TEEN Of his colleagues and of the
people throughout the country. No
man can point to any vote or act Of
his which did not represent the
wishes of his constituents. He has
always been true to the interests OF
Minnesota. Republicans have no
fault to find with his course, and his
reelection will only be q public &C
acknowledgement of distinguished ser
vices in behalf of the State and Ma
ton.

disaster At St. Peter, was the person
who committed the deed. The 1oc-
tor was at that time residing in the
neighborhood of the two men, was
then partially insane, and was often
known to carry strychnine upon his
person. Subsequent acts and re-
marks Of DR.. Prudden gave rise to
the belief that the insane doctor
caused the death of the two men.

Badly Mixed wheat.

Pioncer Prese.
The Minneapolis millers are begin
ming to complain seriously of the
quality of the wheat which is being
received at the mills. While hard
Scotch Fife predominates, there is
hardly bushel brought there which
is absolutely pure. Take handful
and inspect it. Here and there q
berry will be found of some other va
rietv, while many samples are 80 di-
vided up with Rio Grande, Canada
club and other kinds that it would be
hard to say which predominated.
Latterly the Lost Nation is being
raised, and not little Of this variety
finds it's way here, mixed with harder
wheats. One prominent miller re-
marked, recently, "that if the farmers
of Minnesota did not make some eff
fort to improve their seed and stop
growing the soft wheat, the flour in.
tcrests Of the State would be ruined"
"Even now" he said, 'it was with
difficulty that the millers of the city
could keep up the standard of their
-four, owing to the quality of the
wheat they had to grind" A is
we'll known, unless this grain is
changed once in a few years, it VII
gradually deteriorate in lower lati-
tudes, in hardness. until, as in south
ern Minnesota and Iowa, it becomes
almost soft. On the contrary, in re-
gions futher north, as along the
Northern Pacific railroad and in the
Red River valley, it nearly all grades
No. l hard, though it may not be
pure Scotch Fife. The quality of
the seed sown is therefore of the
greatest importance, and there is
nothing which demands more careful
consideration just now at the hands
of our farmers than to get as pure
seed as possible for next springs
sowing. 1t will certainly nay those
who have good seed to sell to adver-
tise it, and those who have fields to
SOW to purchase il.
