The Minneapolis Evening Journal
says: "Our great milling industry
IS now in better position to make
large profits than for many years"
There area great many farmers in
Minnesota and Dakota who firmly be-
lieve the truth of the statement.
The senate committee on territories
has agreed to report bill admitting
Southern Dakota as II state. 1t Is
that the bill will meet with
but little opposition in the senate, but
it is feared that it will not live long
after reaching the house.
The Democrats don't propose to al
low the admission Of Dakota until
Democratic territory can
be admitted with it. 1t the Demo
Gratis are ordinarily sharp they will,
after waiting, admit Montana but still
keep Dakota out. The Democracy
never loses an opportunity to freeze to
q sure thing.
Louisville Courier-Jo urnal: We
owe billion five hundred million OF
dollars, and it will take us a generation
to pay the debt. 1t is absurd to talk
about an actual surplus until that debt
is paid. Before, when the distribution
was made, we had no debt; taxation
had been reduced, money had accum'
ulated in the treasury, and the ques'
ton was how to dispose of it. The
conditions are not at all alike.
Gov. Hamilton of Illinois has PAR,
doned Henry K. Smith, who was
convicted of receiving stolen goods
and sent up from the Madison county
circuit court for two years. Smith es
capped before reaching the peniten
tiary and was never apprehended. HI
has since been living in seclusion il
an obscure Kansas village. His life
since has been an honest one, and tht
pardon was granted on that account
L.F. Kimball, general Northwestern
agent of the Albert Lea route, ha
issued circular to shippers, in which
he says from one to three days TIM
can be saved on shipments to New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cinci
matt or any other points east of Chi
cago. by having them consigned VII
the Rock Island. That time the cir
cular says is gained by connection
with Eastern roads and fast freigh
lines, being made at points on tside o
Chicago.
Glencoe Enterprise: The farmer
themselves are to blame because Their
is no legislation in their favor. LIE
them vote only for such men as will
labor to promote their interests. N
one is wanted who is fanantical in th
cause; but some steady, honest mel
who are possessed of good horse sens
should be elected, and we venture tn
assertion that the farming interest
will be we'll protected. Farmers STAN
by your ballots show the world tina
you practice what you preach.
A fast mail train will be put on tin
Northern Pacific about April 1st. !

soon as the bridge at Ainsworth, w
T., is completed, will make the trip i
four days. Arrangements are also be
ing made for special train from Chi
cago over the Milwaukee road in con
nection with this train, making til
journey from Chicago over the North

saving of a day over the other route
Chicago News: The. propositio
to build a railroad from Manitoba +
Hudson's bay means more than az
pears at first sight. It needs only t
be said that it is Thousand mile
nearer from Winnipeg to Liverpool b
way of Hudson's bay and Davi
straits than by way of st. Lawrenc
river to convince anyone that. th'
scheme is not a wild one. If carrie
out-as it seems now almost certai
to be-a great change in shipping in
terests will take place not only in til
British possessions but probably i
our own northwest as we'll.
Although it is certain that the in
crease in the number of lines of trans
portation in the Northwest will ten
to produce competition and corree
abuses which now stand in the wa
of the prosperity of the farmer thi
fact should not keep farmers from OF
ganizing to protect their mutual in
terests and bring about needed re
forms. There is much to be don
that may be accomplished by unite
intelligent effort. For this reaso
every county in the state should sen
delegates to the convention of farmer
to be held in st. Paul March 1S, |
and 20. We hope to see Steven
county well represented. IL
New York Times: The best pla
for the Republican party between no1
and the third of June IS to endeavc
to secure in every state, and, so far a
possible, in every congressional dix
trict, development of the actus
feeling and choice of the voters an
its full and free representation in til
person of the delegates who are t
