4 STATESMAN'S CAREER TERM
Mated

Amid the excitement over the Conk-
ling Garfield disturbance there is danger
that the loss which has just accrued to
Minnesota may be overlooked. We. al
Jude to the ruthless manner in which the
Hon. Bill G. LIE Due has been cut down.
For four years LIE Duo has literally
been the flower of the adj
ministration. He has made two
blades of bologna sausage grow where
only one dog grew before. He has intro
duced the cultivation of pineapple
cheese bearing trees and cauliaower ham
sandwiches The multitude of his
achievements could scarcely be enumera-
ted in a single newspaper. He was with
al an Ohio man and a Minnesotian by
adoption. he deserved at the hands of
the President more considerate treatment.
He was SO engrossed in the cultivation of
plum pudding plants that he did not no.
tice the gentle hints relative to resign
ing. The shadow of boot toe which
seemed to be searching for victim, was
mistaken by LIE Due for leaf from one
of his apple sauce trees.
Under such circumstances it must have
been shock equal to cyclone when he
was summoned to the White House
Thursday morning and told to vacate. 1t
was unkind for one Ohio man to thus rob
a fellow Ohioan of his official position
and agricultural greatness at the same
time. To tear down the chestnut horse
trees and the raisin vines he was so care
fully propagating was inficting blow
upon the development Of the country
which years cannot overcome. Gen. LIE
Dues dried apple bushes will no longer
be nurtared; his molasses groves will
wither, and in short the career of Min
nesots's agricultural statesman and agri-
culture itself will stand still at the COM
mand of the Joshua Of the White House.
Minnesota mingles her tears with the
nation over the loss Of this eminent agri-
culturalist from public life. He might
have been a cabinet officer or even an
Italian, but it is greatly to his credit
that,i in view of the refusal of Congress to
elevate the department, he remained a
simple commissioner of agriculture until
Garfield tipped him wink with the
toe of his boot.
