Tn the late election in this county
500 votes we're cast in favor Of hold

negative. Out Of 1909 votes cast
only $50 voters expressed their
views upon this question, but the

pajority of all the people in the
county are in favor of the Conven-
tion.-Elko independent.
And yet Notwithstanding the fact
that only 159 votes were cast in the
negative. the Convention question
lac led 133 of a practical majority
in this county, as will be clearly
explained in an article on the sec
ond rage. There is no doubt bat
at least four-fifths of the people of
the State favored a Constitutional
Convention, but they permitted the

suffer the consequences. 1t will be

Making a Cabinet for Cleveland

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE
Times says: Political gossip is now
industriously making Cabinets for
Cleveland. The names of Randall,
Bayard, Thurman and Mcdonald
are among the most prominently
discussed. Pennsylvania is about
as likely to get Cabinet officer as
Blaine is to get the English Mis-
sion.
The Philadelphia Press says:
Daniel Manning will have more to
say about Cabinet officer from
New York than any one else. Ii
tnere is a Cabinet officer from New
England, which is unlikely, Bar
mum will decide that, though Sena-
tor German has eclips ID Barnum
in the closing DAYS Of the campaign.
1t is said Carl Schurz and his
friends want the Secretary of State.
1t is more likely Schuz will go
abroad, perhaps to Berlin, where
Bismark expressed his favorable
opinion of Schurz in strong lam
guage. IF report is true, the man
of the South who has the most
to say over the Cabinet is Mai. +.
A. Burke of New Orleans. He
handled the southern end of Cleve-
lands canvass, and made no blum

A. Ne~ Kind ofa Butter Wanted.
We notice by the New York mar
ket reports, that ''a new kind OF but.
ter is wanted to replace oleo." Since
the more vigorous enforcement OF the
law against the sale or mannfactnre
ofbu,terine or ,,oleo,' sound butter
has gone mp to 81 cents per pound,
and the market steadily advancing.
This is an evidence that ''0leo' has
got to go, and that ascheaper Or.
poorer kind of butter is. needed TO-
take its place. The suggestion:
doubtless comes from. spectators who:
are endeavoring to demoralize the
butter market tor their own benefit.
But should the honest city retailers
and grocerymen combine with The
creamerymen and Farmers Milk Co.
to drive these scallawags out of the
trade, by uniting with the country.
producers, to maintain living prices.
a great revolution would be accom-
plished in the butter and milk trade
ut once. 1t is to the interest Of all
parties to prevent tamperlng with
their business by outside parties, it
they would mutually prosper by do
ing an honest trade, and the present
is the opportune moment .-Oronge

inheritance of Drainage

AS general rule the Northwest is
free from extended swamps. There
are many natural hay meadows OIL
bottom lands, that are valuable in Il
state of nature for the hay they pro-
duce, but they would be good deal
more so if properly drained. 1t is
remarkable what difference drain.
age makes in the land. Aside from
warming the soil and producing crops
greatly in excess of those raised when
nanatural state, itincreases the value
of the land to a very great extent.
Most OF the bottom or swamp lands
in Minnesota have natural outlet,
so that the expense OF drainage is
very trivial. Modern appliances,
aided by science, has made the work
in the reach of all that have low lands
on their farms. Experience has
proven that these lands, when proper
ly drained, arc the best part of the
farm. All that is required to make
them SO is the expenditure of 4 few
dollars. The best corn field we saw
this fall in this State, was on land
that few years ago would not admit
of the passage Of ! COW, so deep was
the water, to say nothing of the boggy
nature of the soil under the water.
Probably the expenditure of fifty
dollars had reclaimed this field of
twenty acres, which is now worth
little fortune to the farmer who owns
it. There is great feld open to the
owners Of bottom lands in this State,

cordance with caucus decrees, and 10 advance
the Interests OF faction. Chicago Journal
We hope the Journal is correct, and that
the cold facts will be brought out no mat
ter,who they hurt. Mr., springers Com.
mittce for some reason or other has
smothered Isone facts In relation to the
tcton Of certain attorneys in tho late
StarRoute cases for no other reason, so far
as we are able to judge, than that very
prominent Democratic attorney would be
smirched ifthe facts were allowed to come
out, and that too by good Democratic testi-
mony.

A NICE spectacle old Bill English pre-
sented when he went onto the floor of the
House and threatened Member--Peel, of
Arkansas-that he "would get even with
him" if he persisted in voting against the
stealing Of a seat for Young Bill. Aud ~
nice set of Legislators who succumbed to
such bulldozing as that. And nice party
for selfconstituted reformers like Ctrtis g.
Co. to act with, directly or indirectly, in
order to secure thorough reform in the
politics Of the United States.' What think
ycofit?
