Hayes Admins ira tlon

The Sleepy Eye Herald. in company
with some other sheets, has saught re-
peatedly to throw discredit upon the
administration Of Mr.. Hayes It has
done this with malicious intent utterly
regardless of the real nature Of the adj
ministration, or of the fact that Mr..
Hayes would never have had an adj.
mlnistratiOn without the cooperation
OF the Democratic party. We are rea-
dy to maintain the proposition that the
Democratic party is as much RESPONSE
bic for the induction of Mr.. HAYES into
the presidential office as the Republi-
can party and the Herald ought to
know it as well as anyone.
10 abuse Mr.. Hayes because he was
put into an office, he did not create or
seek. by Democratic rs we'll as Repub-
ican action is as unfair and dishonest
as anything can well be; but this, and
just this, is what the Herald has not
ceased to do. Whether he was legally
elected or not. he was legally inaug,i-
rated and this is, and must be admitted
by all respected legal authority III the
land. Even the Herald must admit
this or lose its self respect.
Now as to the administration itself 8
few words may be said in its behalf.
1. Mr.. Hayes administration was 8
very pure one. The family and social
life Of the country was very greatly
blessed By it. It was in no shape Of

the nation for good has never been esti
mated. Now with all right-thinkinr
people this is something to be valued.
Those and those only who dislike the:
home and 9 pure social life viii throw

2. Mr.. Hayes administration was
an able and wise one in its advisory
character. Look at the cabinet and

The Election in the House.

The provisions of the twelfth amend
ment to the constitution Of the United
States relating to the manner in which a
President and Vice President shall be Sc
lected IN case there is no election by the
electors chosen by the people are SO curl
GUS that it is difficult to conceive what the
real object of the trainers Of the lnsIru-
ment was. In case no candidate snail re-
ceive a majority of the electoral votes,
the selection of a President devOiyes on
the House of Representatives, which
votes by states, each State being entitled
10 one vote. Upon the Senate, however,
rests the duty of selecting a Vice Presi-
dent.
While there does not now seem to be a
probability of the election being thrown
into the House, should such be the case
the vote would doubtless stand: For
Cleveland 81, for Blaine Is, tie 1.
The following States show Democratic
majorities in their House delegations,
and would, of course, vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate for President: Alabama'
Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Della
ware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Lou
isiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri
Nevada, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
West Virginia, and Wisconsin. This list
includes all the Southern States except
Florida, in which delegation there would'
be tie, and Virginia, where the Read
busters would probably cast the vote OF
the State for Blaine. The Northern States
embraced in the list is not so large, but 1t
contains such important States as New
York, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.
The States that would vote for Blaine
are Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Virginia.
In case the election of the President
should be thrown into the House the
Senate would have the privilege of elect
ing the Vice President. The Senators
would vote individually and not by States.
They would, of course, elect Logan Vice
President.
AS before stated, however, it appears TO
be about certain that the next President
and Vice President will be chosen by the
electors, and there is little doubt that
their names will be Grover Cleveland and
Thomas A. Hendricks.

The work Of moving the Florida orange
crop will soon begin. Generally, tne
bulk of the crop is marketed in November
and December. 1t would be much better
for the producers if the marketing OF the
crop were distributed through five instead
OF two months.
There are two reasons, however, Thy
the crop is pushed to market as quickly
as possible. The first is the fear of freez-
ing weather in January and February,
and the second is the belief that better
prices can be realized.
Freezing weather does not occur every
winter. Often several winters pass in
succession without the occurrence OF
damaging cold. There are ways that the
orchards can be protected TO some extent
from the cold, and It is not impossible 10
decide when a very low temperature may
lie expected.
Good prices are obtained for the hrst
oranges that are sent TO market, Out
when the crop is large a glut soon occurs,
and prices frequently drop so low as to be
unremunerative. Again, in the hurry to
put the crop into market in two months,
not as much attention is paid to the con-
lition of the fruit and the packing of it as
there ought TO be. Unripe and badly pre-
pared fruit, together with the glut, have
a very damaging effect on prices.
In order to protect the growers against
an Oyerstocke5 market cold storage has
been discussed. It would take consider
able capital, Of course, to provide store
houses where the fruit could be packed
and kept at a temperature that would
prevent decay, but there is little doubt
that such stOrehOuses would pay. The
prospect of better prices later in the season
would be strong inducement to Keep
the fruit.
The outlook for big crop is excellent.
Bv some it is placed as high as million
boxes. 1t is probable that this estimate
is too large. The number Of boxes, how
ever, is certain to 20 a great deal beyond
the number of any previous year.
How to prevent a glut is one of the
problems that orange growers are now
trying to solve. Their crop is certain TO
increase every year Tor a good many years,
and the necessity of solving this
problem must grow more imperative.
The crop reaches the great cities and
many OF the larger towns, but it does not
get to the small towns except in extreme
" limited quantities. In these small
towns the sale is limited, on account OF
the nigh prices demanded by the retail
dealers. The high prices are due mainly
to the cost of transportation to interior
towns. If there could be cheap
system Of transportation for oranges es-
tablished wherever there are railroad
and steamboat lines, so that the crop
would reach every part of the country
quickly, very much better prices could be
obtained. Orange culture in Florida is
only in its infancy, and there are good
many problems connected with it which
cannot be solved at once, but they Will
probably be solved in time.

Madame Janauschek does not feel kind
" toward the dramatic critics of New
York who characterized "My Life" as
vulgar, coarse ami made up Of shreds of a
number Of old melO-dramas. She says
that dramatic art in America, which is
endeavoring to struggle through the dis
advantages Of an intense and practical life
into an atmosphere Of good taste, is beset
at every effort by a ruff anism in the me
tropolis Of this country that it encounters
nowhere else. Every effort to encourage
and develop the dramatic talent Of native
writers encounters this ruthless rowdy-
ism Of the press. The critics appear to
have the eye and ear OF the public, and
doubtless Madame Janauschek will come
ous second best in the contest, so far as
opinion is concerned, but the controversy
will advertise the actress and fill her
pocket with dollars, and that is what she
really wants.

Mr.. Lamb Hits Blaine a Blow.

Mr.. Henry L. Lamb, of New York,
lifelong Republican, and the former
editor of the Troy N. " Times, has
written a political letter which Is attract
ing a good deal of attention. MIR. Lamb
reviews BIaine's career and makes some
comparison between him and Cleveland.
He points out to the Independent Re
publicans of the country the danger to the
country and to the Republican party
Of Blaine's election. This danger comes
from BIaine's well-knOwn character as
jobber in politics. His election, Mr..
Lamb thinks, would hasten the process OF
degeneration in political morals, and
would introduce into the administration
of affairs a reckless disregard OF honest
and honorable methods that would tend
to weaken the foundations of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Lamb does rot regard Mr.. Blaine as
a statesman in any sense of the word.
On this point he says. sin the domain Of
craftsmanship upon economical and finan-
cial questions his RECORD is cOnspicuOusly
bare: the contrast between it and the
record of Garfield is wide and notable.
This is not accidental; it reveals charac-
ter, motives, aims, methods. find plenty
of evidence i'm Mr.. Blaine's conduct of the
nimbleness and deXterity of a gushing
politician, but none of the grasp, loyalty
and courage Of a statesman who grips
principles and sticks to them with abiding
confidence, however blow the winds Of
popular opinion"
Contrasting Cleveland with Blaine, Mr..
Lamb saws: ''Mr. Blaine has been tried
in office and has been found wanting.
Mr.. Cleveland has been tried in office and
has not been found wanting. Mr.. Blaine
has been very widely Condemned for his
personal official acts and practices by Re-
publicans. Mr.. Cleyeland's acts as
public officer have not been successfully
attacked. There is no trace of self-seek-
ing in his official career. He was chosen
by his neighbOrs to reform local govern
ment in Buffalo. He won their approval
and their gratitude. He has done con-
spicuOusly well as Governor. He has
shown sympathy with reform, has dis
played courage in the discharge Of duty,
and has exhibited a stanch loyalty to the
trust put in him which justifies conf
dence."
The people surely can have no trouble
in choosing Cleveland in preference TO
Blaine. The evidence that Cleveland is
the better and safer man to have control
Of the government is too strong to be dis
regarded.

Unprotected wages the highest.

81 LOUIS HepUDticuN lDe1t.I,
The higher wages which prevail in the UNI
ted states are credited by the prOtectlonists
to the protective tariff, yet those occupations
which are not protected at all, and cannot be,
are the ones in which labOrers in this country
have greatest advantages over those of other
countries. Bricklayers, plasterers, and those
in personal service get double as much wages
in this country as they do in any part of Eu
rope except England. There is no tariff to
protect persons in these callings. Plainly pro-
