the secretary was instructed to have the grades
of wheat, as established by said board, pub
lished officially Following Is correct copy

ether equally hard wheat.
No l Hard-To weigh not less than weight

sound and clean, Scotch Fife or other equally hard
variety.
No. Same as No hard. except to include
soft varieties of wheat.
No. :. Hard-To be sound, reasonably clean. com
posed mostly of hard varieties of spring wheats; to
weigh not less than fifty six pounds TO the measured

pounds to the measured buShel, suitable for ware

wheat snail be graded higher than rejected.
GEORGE GILES, Secretary
ST. PAUL. Mimi, Feb. 2l, 1882.
BY request, we gladly give the above space
in the columns of the Free Press. 70 satify q
curiosity peculiar only to Yankee, we COM
pared the above grades with those now adhered
to by tho millers and buyers of Minnesota, and
find the grades as nearly Identical with those
passed by the Farmers board of trade as one
and one. The impression is extant that tho
miller's meeting in December changed the
grade to the present standard. This is
not fact. The buyers all over
tho country were themselves ''off of
grade" and the convention simply passed reso-
lutious requiring them to adopt the old and
original weight grades Simply this and moth
ing more. We are glad that the Farmers
Board have issued the grade circular above,
and believe they would have still further
pleased large 4umber of farmers had they
embodied therein the difference in price be-
tween tho grades. 1t could then have been
seen ats glance just what hsrdships, if any,
the miIlers restrictions are working against
our farmers.

Georgia and stephens.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLtcAN realizes with
pain that Mr.. AlexanderH. Stephens was
either flirting with Mr.. Emory Speer, or
that he was misunderstood by that gem
tieman when the signals went up to DIR.
FELTON, and his associates to raise the
Stephens flag. It was our wish to see the
gubernatorial office bestowed on Mr..
Stephens by the sufIrages of all the Lib-
eral elements, and upon an anti-Bourbon
basis. We believe that he would not, il
so elected, prove as ungrateful to
the negroes as did Governor Colquitt,
who took the governorship at their
hands, and then Aouted them. We
feel assured that he would not be n
suppliant TO negroes and then be rs
oblivious of the obligations incurred as
Joe Brown has been. We supposed that
the name of Aleck Stephens was one to
conjure with in Georgia. and that he
could defy the Bourbons and yet be gov
ernor We defer to his better knowledge
of the people Of Georgia. He says they
are the Democratic party, and that only
through that party will he mount to Col.
quits seat. So be il. Our dream of O
Southern Thicrs is ended. The French
Thiers, whose brain and nerve guided
the Citi2en-King during his reign o
eighteen years, disdained an alliance
with the Bourbons, and joined hands
with the Republicans to defeat even q
diluted restoration. Our American
analogy was an imperfect one. He lacks
the heroism of the great Fronchman, or
ut best hears not the call of patriotism
in the same voice. 1t has always been
debated whether the speech of Mr..
Stephens in the Georgia secession con-
vention of 1861 was more calculated to
push men into the rebellion by remov-
ing from halting minds the doubt of the
right of secession, or TO keep them out
by argument against the necessity for
heeXercise ofthe alleged right. The old
Commoner, rs he likes to be called, has
taken good care to protest feebly enough
against the Bourbons to keep within hail
of them-and he seems to have his mind
now set upon not "being left" We trust
that the Georgia Republicans will "catch
on" to the idea, and that they will scorn
to bestow their votes upon any man who
places the support of Bourbons higher i'll
the scale than their own. We cast no
reflection upon Mr.. Stephens. lie has
been misunderstood. His attitude is such
as pleases him. We only venture the
remark that it is not one in which he can
be sustained by any Republican or anti
Bourbon Democrat

done to Mr.. Hubbel for encouraging

is truly a parlous question. We think,
however, that we can make it SO clear
that Mr.. Buell. can put his penny in the
urn of Republican charity without
periling his personal liberty or disquali-
flying him from holding Office. The alb
