A gathering at Concord, Mass, every
year has been named Concord School
of Philosophy" This year about a
week of its session was occupied in EN-
erson worship. Emerson was discussed
from every possible point Of view, and
so thoroughly exhausted was the SUBJ
ject that unless they decide to take up
Mr.. Emerson's organs one by one and
discuss his stomach, lungs, and liver,
there need be little fear of another out
break Of an Emersonian character next
year. To plain people, especially west
ern people, the reports of the speeches
on Emerson would be deemed NONSENSE
cal. 1t is hardly possible that the
speakers really desired to be under
stood, and more than probable that
a majority of listeners, it they expressed
their real sentiments, would declare
that most of the Emerson talk was be-
yond their comprehension. The pas
sion for mystification seems to rule the
worshipper of Emerson, and in this
the worst fault of the Philosopher is
perpetuated.

rounded Fort Rice contains much good

Dairy1ng Dusinsss in 1eiunesot..

Col R. P: McGlincy, secretary of the Elgin
Ql) dairy board of trade, and of the North
western Dairymea's association, states that he
had just returned from trip through
Southwestern Minnesota, and had found the
dairy interest increasing there, especially in
Martin county, and an inclination on the part of
the farmers to engage more generally in that
Drancn OF agriculture. This was more especially
the case, because number Of dairy farmers
from Illinois have purchased lands in thai
county, to which they will remove this fail and

and selling his cream to a creamery in tha

IT, Of the butter made in this state, Col. NC
Glincy said that during recent trip to New
York, butter dealers in that city assured him
that Minnesota butter was running uniform in
quality, extra fine in flavor, and was possessed
Of = solidity rarely attained by other
Western butter; that it was
held at the same price as that Of the famous
creameries of Elgin, Ill, and all this has been
brought about by an intelligent study of the
creamery system. All that is necessary to
give Minnesota butter world wide reputation
is for the farmer to aim at quality. From in
ion that Minnesota will lead the other north
western states in the display of butter at the
New Orleans worlds exposition. This feature
he feels should enlist the cooperation of every
dairyman in the state. Col McGlincy win de-

announcement that the work will cost

60 on to completion, nevertheless. Just
as bad under estimates we're made of
the cost of constructing the Luez canal,

The Situation in Dakota,

The condition Of the wheat crop in Dakota
the latest reports it is learned that the damage
by the storms in the vicinity of Tower City will
reach II, 600 acres or total of 100, 600 bushels
This will not effect the general crop and is but
as drop in the bucket A special from St
Vincent says tho farmers of that section Of tho
Red River valley are now prepared to harvest
their hay, which is q very fine CROP Wheat

G.. s. Barnes, president of the Northern
Pacific Elevator company, in an interview,
takes rather conservative view Of the situa-
ton, aud while sanguine as tothe average yield,
thinks that farmers should be prepared to ex-
pect low prices for their product He draws
his differences from the fact that advices from
the wheat fields, not only of the Northwest, but
of the country at large place the average pros
pective yield at an even higher aggregate
than the most sanguine have imagined II
any accident should happen to the fast ripen-
ing grain, an accident that would have more
there might be reason to expect fair
prices; but Mr.. Barnes does not
look for anght else than generous yield, and
consequently bases his opinion on what is al
ready in sight In the vicinity of Fargo, he
says the crop will be fair, but out toward Bis
marck, whore last year there was great def.
ciency, this year there will be big crop.
There is considerable trust in the wheat
along the Winona l. st. Peter road in Southern
Dakota, and smut is doing great deal of dam
age in the vicinity of Big Stone and Milbank
With these exceptions, the crop is doing quite
we'll. Corn is progressing rapidly, and will
soon be out of the way of drouth.

The hay crop of Great Britain has
been partially gathered, and according
to the Pail Mall Gazette there is not
more than the one-half of a normal yield.
So low is the yield per acre that, in case
ofinclement weather, the Gazette esti-
mates that the loss below the average
would equal ten millions of pounds
sterling in value. According to the
some authority the stronger sort of
wheat can get on for some time with adj
ditional moisture, but the prevailing
drouth is inflicting ''vast injury upon
spring corn and forage crops, and
threatening the existence of crops for
winter keep"

The consular reports that our state
department publishes monthly show
that in South America European goods
are preferred to our own because the
European makers generally charge
lower prices, give longer credits, and

manufacturers, whose interest is almost
exclusively at home, do not.

A Marseilles correspondent of the
New York Times writes five columns
about the dreaded cholera at Marseilles,
Toulon and Aries. He describes the
extreme tilthiness of all these places the
wretched people dying in hospitals, and
in their own novels, and buried at mid
night in the cemeteries, by the light Of
torches and lanterns, and after discuss
ing oil the phases of the epidemic ex-
haustively with the hospital doctors,
with priests and with nurses, his con-
clusion is that the much dreaded cholera,
probably the most fatal and severe of
all diseases to which human flesh is
heir, is a,thing of which no intelligent
community of well-ordered lives and
well-managed sewer pipes need have an
alarming fear, even when brought into
close contact with it, to say nothing of
getting into panic at q distance.
