Blaine on the Track.

Washington Cor New York World.
The other day met Mr.. Elkins just as he
was coming out of Mr.. Blaine's house and
walked down town with him. l asked him:
''Who do you think will be the nominee of
the Republican party four years from now!"
''That is long time ahead said he. 'There
Is not much use in making any predictions.
! believe, however, that Mr.. Blaine will be
nominated again. He has to-day greater
following in the party than any other one
man. He is the only man that can carry
the west He was the only man that could
have carried Ohio last October. l believe
that when che convention comes to meet
four years from now the demand upon the
part of the Republicans for his nomination
will be SO overwhelming as to overskadow all
other candidates. / do not think any man
agement will nominate him, but that he will
be nominated in spite Of any management
Mr. Elkns' opinion, thus frankly expressed,
is more determined even than it was last
spring. There we're times when he was
doubtful whether Mr.. Blaine could be nomi-
mated or whether itnwould be good policy to
nominate him.
None OF Mr. Blaine's friends think that
his course since the election can have any
effect in destroying his popularity with his
followers throughout the country. Senator
Allison OF Iowa, who is one of the most con-
servative of politicians, says that everything
that has happened since the election which
has been made the subject Of criticism is
com paratively trivial and will make no last
ing impression. Mr.. Blaine is looking for
ward with great interest to the campaigns of
Ohio and New York this fall. The local
managers from these states are even now
consulting with him as If they expected help
and direction from him. The Republican
shibboIeth is TO be protection and the South
ern question. These two issues Mr. Blaine
believes will be the dividing ones. After the
campaigns of this year and next Mr.. Blaine
will go to Europe. He will probably remain
there two Years.

more on the bushel than they can on this
side of the line, then 1t is worth while to
look into the matter. The addition of six
millions Of collars annually to the agricul-
tural revenues of the state, and which
the farmers would realize but for
powerful conspiracy against them, is
q matter of too much impor-
lance to the state not TO be looked after. OF
course 1t will be for the wisdom of the legis-
lature to determine what steps are necessary
to retain this six millions of dollars in the
hands of the producers, where 1t legitimately
belongs. The railroads will probably realize
the force OF Mr.. DoNNELLr's philosophy that
ia nimble sixpence is worth more than
slow shilling" and that it is better Tor
transportation company to have low rates
through prosperous country than to receive
high rates through an Impoverished section.
But just here the GLOBE regrets to be COM
PEELED to take issue with Mr.. DoNNELLY in
his statement that the prosperity OF the state
Of Minnesota is in retrograde condlnon.
On the contrary the statistics and all evil
dences indicate a rapid growth in wealth and
population. His argument TO some extent,
may hold good, that the combinations made
between railroad and elevator companies and
the Millers' association may have tendency
to retard the material growth and development
of the state, but there is no earthly power
strong enough to stop it. The star OF iTnper-
ia grandeur that has risen over Minnesota
will never set.
Has it ever occurred to our farmer friends
that in some measure they might be response
bic themselves for the bad fix in which they
are placedl We would respectfully suggest
to the Farmers Alliance while in session,
might not a system of more diversified az
riculture be profitable to them. For illustra-
ton, If less wheat was grown and more but
ter made would the railroads or millers' as
sOciations have the power to curtail the
prices Of the butter product Butter farm
ing Is really more profitable than wheat rails
ing, while its shipment would be very poor
source of revenue to the railroad. Suppose
that for few years the Minnesota farmers
should fail TO raise any wheat, is it not highly
probable that the railroads and elevator
companies and millers' associations would
find it to their interest to offer a bonus to
farmers in the way of reduced freights and
charges and higher prices, to return to wheat
production. Might not little time taken
from a fight against the combination of
other interests, aud spent in combining in
furtberance of your own interests be profit
able!

The one most valuable feature Of the New
Orleans Exposition is that It has afforded the
opportunity for so many thousands Of North
ern people to travel through the South, and
coming in contact with the people of that
section at their own homes, our Northern
people have been enabled 10 come TO cor
rect understanding of the habits and feelings
Of their Southern brethren, and thus the EK-
position will be potent force in dispelliug
that lingering distrust which fingers between
the two sections. Il is found that there is
great deal more Of legitimate industry and
great deal less of partisan politics in the
Southern country than our Northern people
have been taught to believe. Northern wish
tors have been surprised to find that the New
South has really buried the past and its dead,
that they have buried with
Il the traditions, the teachings
and the prejudices which made the Old South
the home Of a few in luxury. The New
South discusses slavery as one of tho errors
Of the fathers. Nor lie this surprising, for Of
