Minnesota Crop Estimates.
The crop glessers as usual are early in
the field, and without going into details here
are the results, as summarized by the Pioneer
Press:
The acreage and probable yield Of corn in
Minnesota, has nearly doubled, and that of
oats, barley and other crops largely in
creased. This accountsBf for the fact that
with total cultivated acreage largely in
creased the acreage of wheat has fallen off
from 1868, 1884 in 1881 to 2,472 $50 in
1882 Notwithstanding this decrease in
t..reagc, however, the increased pro-
ductiveness ofthis year justties the expec-
tation of largely increased aggregate yield.
Estimates of yield per acre range from twelve
to twenty bushels. The average Of all the
estimates is l5.49 bushels per acre which
give; probable yield for the State Of 3S, 1885,
6G2 bushels or trihe short of the 40, 600, GOO
bE. hels which has been the anxious goal of
the Minnesota crop guessers for many years.
The only serious peril not yet passed is a
wet harvest Such calamity as that which
overlook the wheat harvest in August of last
year might cut the aggregate crop down by
several millions of bushels and cause an
equal or greater loss by lowering the grade
of the part saved.

ONE MONTH MORE.

One month, Of thirty days, from to-day
and the agony will be over with one.halt
Of the candidates now before the people.
Half of the candidates are bound to be de.
feated when the people come to decide at
the polls. Two tickets are before the peo'
pie Of Beaverhead County, and from the
candidates presented the people will choose
the county officers who will serve them for
the next two years. While the duty of de-
Gliding between the opposing candidates de.
wolves solely on the voters, the method OF
arriving at correct decision may be sue-
gested with perfect propriety. A. we near
the November election let the voter care
fully and critically examine the anteced-
ents, the record and the character of each
candidate asking the suffrages of the peo-
pie and inquire alike into the honesty and
competency Of those seeking the Offices.
If candidate be found wanting in the ele.
ments that constitute an honest and good
man that candidate is unworthy Of the sup
port Of the people, and 1t matters not which
Of the parties, Republican or Democratic,
he belongs TO or musters with. County
offices should be filled by the best men,
and in order to put the right men in the
right places the voter can not always give
unqualified support to the nominees named
by machine convention. One month yet
remains for the voters to examine the can.
didates and to spot any who may be found
too slippery to tie to.

Is this statement true? We hear great

bosh. During most Of Mr.. Maginnis'
Congressional career the Government has
been under the control of the Republican
party, and II we had had a Republican Del

The quietness in political circles was

Mr.. Graves, the Bannack member, was alb.
sent. There was perfect harmony and en-.
thusiasm at the meeting. DR.. Schmalhau.
sen, Of Glendale, was selected as candi-
date for Representative. The naming of
DR.. Schmalhausen for the position is entirely
satisfactory to the Democrats. Should the
Doctor receive majority of the suffrages
OF his fellow citizens in November he will
prove a Representative in the Legislature
who will ever be watchful Of the interests
Of Beaverhead County and Of the people Of
Montana Territory.
