MALIGNING sCHEFFER.

The Pioneer Press started out yester-
day morning with statement that it
intended to ignore ALBERT SCHEFFER,
and then proceeded to ignore him by
deyoting between two and three col
umns of its most valuable space to that
gentleman. The truth is. as the MER-
RIAM organs and managers have found
to their sorrow, Mr.. SCHEFFER is man
that cannot be ignored by them. The
fact that he is man who commands
the universal esteem of his fellow citi-
zens entities him to respectful
hearing upon any object that he
chooses to discuss. The fact that
his honesty and truthfulness are
proverbial here in the city of
his home gives weight to his utterances.
The malignant attempt of the Pioneer
Press to create the impression that Mr..
SCHEFFER was both crazy and drunk.
the night he made his speech in the
Jackson street rink is in keeping with
the campaign methods that journal has
pursued throughout the entire canvass,
and more particularly with reference to
everything connected with ALBERT
SCHEFFER. 1t was very singular, at
least, if Mr.. SCHEFFER was either an
imbecile or an inebriate, that Mr.. MER-
RAM should have made an out and out
proposition to form combination with
SCHEFFER, whereby the latter should
succeed SABIN in the senate if he would
only consent to assist MERRIAM in
reaching the governors chair. The
fact that he wouldn't agree to enter
into such combination, nor would ne
consent to anything that looked like
condonement of MERRIAM's offense in
buying his nomination, explains the iii
tense malevolence of the MERRIAM
organs towards him. There has been
no denial of Mr.. SCHEFFER's charges
against MERRIAM, nor any effort to con-
trovert them. They have been met only
by abuse and calumny upon gentle
man who is the peer of any man in st.
Paul in all the qualities which go to make
good and useful citizenship. There is no
man within the broad limits of the state
of Minnesota who has better OF more
deserved reputation for sobriety, We
racity and integrity than ALBERT
SCHEFFER, and none who carries
leveler head on his shoulders. The at
tempt to divert public attention from
the accusations against the Republican
candidate for governor by maligning
the accusers will miscarry, as will be
abundantly demonstrated at the polls
tomorrow.

IN THE FIRST DISTRICT.

The canvass Of Congressman THOMAS
WILSON for reelection has borne
close resemblance to his career in con-
gress; for now, as then, he has been an
expounder of the truth and fearless
exponent of the simplest principles of
government. He has asked of his con-
stituents nothing more than that they
indorse the proposition to reduce tax
alton; to prevent abuses of the pension
system; to resist all payment of unjust
war claims, and to force Canada and
England to respect our rights. On
each. in congress, he made the record
of voting in strict accordance with the
opinions of the purest statesmen of the
day, and, through them, with the senti-
ments of the intelligent mass of the
common people. In no instance has
his voice or vote been lent to the ap-
proval of extravaganza or the passage
of measures destined to Cypress and
pot free. There is no valid reason to
be given for his rejection by the peo-
pie. 1t is to their credit that no evil
dence appears that they will reject him..
Corrupt means may compass his defeat;
if they do not, his election is already
assured.

DOMESTIC WHEAT SURPLUS.

In this weeks issue Bradstreet's
sums up the wheat area of the crop of
1888 to be about 100000 acres, includ-
ing $4,000. 900 acres of winter and 49,
100000 spring. The average yield ac-
cording to the national report being IL
bushels for winter and 10 bushels for
spring, the total output would be 276,-
600, 900 bushels for winter wheat and
30,000.O00 bushels for spring, or an ag-
gregate of A06,0O0,e00. Of this amount
$4,000, 900 bushels grew on the Pacific
slope and 356,000,000 Oh the Atlantic
slope.
Bradstreet's thinks that the 26 cents
advance per bushel over wheat prices
year ago is entirely justified, and that
a further advance may be expected. OF
the Pacific slope crop more than 12,000,-
900 bushels is needed for seeding and
home consumption; 100000 has al
ready been exported, leaving a surplus
on hand of over 26,000,000. The Atlantic
slope crop is of an inferior quality, both
winter and spring. The grading indi-

BIG DUCK-sHOOTING.
A Gun That Carries a Pound and a

Half of Shot.
The ordinary shotgun, however per-
feet it may be, is altogether too tame
and ineffective weapon for the profess
sional Potomac duck-hunter, says the
Washington Post. He must have some
thing that mowS down the game like a
machine. He generally uses what he
calls "big gum" the barrel of which is
from ten to fifteen feet long and which
carries q pound and half of shot and
half-pOund of powder. This engine of
destruction is placed on a sort of pivot
or rest in the bow of boat or skiff, with
the muZZle extending overheard and the
butt resting against a packing of rags or
something similar in the bottom Of the
craft. The man who uses it lies
down fiat in the bottom and approaches
the ducks on the water by means of
what is called a creeping PADDLE"
which is very short, and which is
worked by one hand stretched over the
has been reached sufficiently near
the ducks, some movement is
made to frighten them, and as
they rise in great fluttering black
clouds the ''big gun" is fired into their
midst, sometimes killing many dozen.
The rebound OF these guns is so great
that they sometimes throw the skiff back
forty feet and even sometimes sink it.
The force of the rebound is caught by
the packing in the bottom of the boat,
and as may he imagined, not against the
shoulder of the man who fires it.
Another device of similar charac-
ter, practiced by Potomac market hunt
ers, is to arrange from seven to ten old
musket barrels OH the edge of boat.
and have the triggers of all of them con-
nected by string, which, when pulled,
expledeS the entire set. In this way as
many as 200 ducks have been killed at
one fire, many of them canvas-backS.
