NEW MEXICo,s GOVERNOR.

EDWARD G. Ross, the newly appointed
governor of New Mexico, is a practical
printer and was busy at his case in his small
newspaper office when the news of his APP
pointment reached him. His life is full of
interesting "reminiscences suggesting the
yicissitudes and checkered career of type
setter. After working for number of
years in his native state of Ohio at the
printing business, where he performed all
the drudgery of country newspaper Office
from devil up to foreman, he left for the
state of Wisconsin in 1S47, where he
tramped as a journeyman printer, often
sleeping out of doors in the woods when out
of funds, and finally settling down in the
office of the Milwaukee Sentinel where he
spent four years, the latter part of his time
as foreman. From Milwaukee Mr. Ross
drifted into Kansas and took an active part
in the border troubles then raging in that
state. When the war commenced he was
publishing the Kansas Tribune at Topeka.
He entered the Union army as a private
and served throughout the war. Return
ing from the war to Kansas he was first APP
pointed and then elected to serve that state
in the United States senate. Because OF his
vote against the Impeachment resolutions
preferred against ANDREW JOHNSON he lost
favor with the Kansas Republicans and
finally found his way into the Democratic
party. Failing in the newspaper business
in Kansas Senator Ross went to New Mex
leo in 1882 and commenced life over again
by obtaining a place as a journeyman
printer. Since that time he has worked
himself to the head of a small but creditable
newspaper establishment in that territory.
The term of his present.office is four years,
commencing from the 9Th of May, and the
salary is 800 per annum. Gov. Ross
has probably experienced as many of the
ups and downs of life as any living man,
and his sudden promotion from the type
case to the gubernatorial Office of New Mex
leo will not turn his head.

MINNESOTA GRADES.

The-work of the railroad and warehouse
commissioners naming and defining the
minnesota grades of wheat to be adopted in
all terminal elevators in this state after the
18th of next September will doubtless prove
satisfactory to both producers and buyers.
The commissioners state that they have
been deeply impressed with the magnitude
iof the interests which have been confded
to their care. There is no question in the
public mind as to their appreciation of the
delicate and intricate duties that they have
had to perform, and from the expressions
of those who are in position to Judge as con-
tanned in number of interviews published
in this issue of the GLOBE, there is every
reason to believe that the commissioners
thave performed their duty impartially and
satisfactorily.
Our wheat producers and wheat buyers
now have uniform system of grading, and
Ehenceforth there will be no ground for COM
planning about the variety of grades adopted
by the elevator people, or of the hardships
the farmers complain of because of the
docking system heretofore in vogue. 1t will
be observed that the grade fiXedtfor No. 2 is
the same grade OF inspection at Chlcago,
Milwaukee, Toledo and Buffalo. AS No. j
wheat is the grade principally used for mill
ing purposes, the No 3 wheat will form the
principal shipping grade. The producers
Willreadily see the advantage of having the
Minnesota standard for this grade cores
pond with that in use at the points named
! above. The farmer in the Northwest can
gradients wheat according to the Minnesota
standard and ship it in the car load, if he
sees proper, to Buffalo or Chicago, and
know that it will hold the same grade ac-
cording to the inspection at those places.
The wisdom of the law providing for
/ these grades is apparent because it not only
/ protects the producers of our staple crop,
| but because it Will give Minnesota wheat a
standing in the markets of the world that
! it has never heretofore enjoyed. The same
may be said of the whole Northwest, for, as

THE TREASURY STATEMENTS.

L l. L
The New York Times thinks that no i'm
partial person can deny that the monthly
statements of the United States treasury
now issued are far more complete, instruct
i've and satisfactory than those formerly
given. 1t is perhaps an excess of caution
to continue the reconciliation or compar-
ison of the old and new forms of state
ment, since every one who has cared to
study it can now readily understand exactly
what the new form conveys. In addition
to the ordinary statement the treasury now
publishes the details, not only of its assets
and liabilities, but of its receipts and eX-
penditures since the opening of the fiscal
year. The net reduction for May in the
outstanding debt of So. $50, S33 is obviously
not sufficient to warrant any call for re-
demptiOn of bonds by the secretary. The
total amount of gold coin and bullion on
hand is 1914, 363, 543, against which there
have been issued S142. 924, $50 of gold GER
titicates, of which the treasury holds S14,-
ST., $50, leaving the net gold balance S115,-
$40, $50. The total amount of silver dollars
and bullion on hand is S166, S42, 99S, the
certificates against which are S140, 600, 776,
with S35, SIS, $50 in the treasury, leaving
the net silver balance SCI, 257,S12. The
net note balance is S23, 492, 100.
The comparative statement of receipts
and expenditures shows that the former
have fallen off in the first ten months of the
current fiscal year S25, SOL. 900, while the
latter have increased by ST, $50, 900. max
ing difference to the treasury of a little

revenue nearly $4,000, 900 has been in Gus
toms dues, and nearly 50, 600, 900 in internal
revenue dues, principally in those on dis
titled liquors. The increase in eXpendi-
lures has been almost wholly in the ''ordi-
nary" the advance in pensions being about
offset by the reduction in interest. The
figures for the month of May, however,
show a falling off in revenue of only 81, $685.

monthly decline. This occurred in the in
teral revenue, the customs being only
$50, 600 less than in May, 1884. and the
miscellaneous receipts about $500, 900 more.

she took to exclude Intoxicating liquors
from the White house. and now, because of
her bod move III behalf OF temperance, she
was elected an honorary member of nearly
all the blue ribbon associations and prohi-
bition societies in the country. The HAYES
administration is yet spoken of as the
model Temperance administration of this
nation. Since Mrs. HAYES and her hus-
band have been living iii retirement, their
time has been principally occupied with
organizing temperance societies and attend

the onerous duties of the poultry yard per-
mitted it.

THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.

The outlook for fine crop of spring
wheat in the Northwest was never more
promising at this season of the year. In
South Dakota the stalks are fully eight
inches high and stand thick in the ground.
The season South is about ten days in
advance of the northern part of the terri
tory, but the recent warm rains and the
warm sun have given the grain great i'm
petus in the North. A fine stand is reported
in every section of the Northwestern spring
wheat belt. This gives the producers hope
that they will have an abundant harvest,
and an active demand is assured by the prac
teal failure of the winter wheat crop in
the states. Reports received yesterday from
official sources in Kansas show conclusively
that the crop there will be a wretched
failure, owing to the ravages of the pestif
erous Hessian fly and the industrious and
destructive chinch bug. These pests are
said to be the heralds of war. However,
this may be, their ravages will result in
higher prices for wheat, and our producers
in the Northwest will profit by it.

Did NctG tine Money.

An official circular was received at the
Winona postoffice few days ago from the
superintendent of the money order system
at Washington, notifying the postmaster
that some 400 blank money orders and adj
vices had been stolen from the pOStoffiec at
Lewiston, Idaho, and instructing him to
refuse payment thereon if any should be
presented. The Republican says that an
examination of the money order records of
the office, this morning disclosed the fact that
on the 10th of April last six orders for 500
each, drawn by the office at Lewiston on
the Winona office in favor of the Merchants
bank of this city had been presented and
paid The orders were regularly made
out, signed by the postmaster issuing
them, and properly stamped, and the payee
being well known, they were cashed with
out hesitation. 1t appears that accompa-
nying the letter transmitting the orders to
the bank there was request by the writer
calling himself j. G. Wilson, by whom
the purchase purported to have been made
to collect the amount, 5000, and hold it
subject to his further order. Abouta week
later another letter was received by the
bank, asking that the money be sent to
Pierce City, Idaho, by registered letter, as
there were no banks..or express offices at that
point The bank hesitated about sending
money in that manner and wrote for further
instructions. The result was that by the
delay the 5000 is still at the bank, subject
to the order OF the postoffice department.
