FARM AND FIRESIDE.

The practice of feeding hay to
swine, especially clover hay, is extend

cooked it makes capital food.
The claim is made that Dakota's
soil raises the finest wheat grown in the

The average farmer has no time to
act as nurse to puny plants and vines.
For this reason only hardy and prolific
sorts are suitable for planting in the
farm garden.
-Buckwheat is said to have various
effects upon different succeeding crops,
but it is generally conceded that it is
detrimental to the corn crop which fol-
lows it.
An economical way of disposing of
old wrappers of silk or cashmere, when
they do not happen to be of pale colors,
is to cut off the body and set the skirts
upon yoke, making them serve for a
petticoat to wear in bad weather.
If the meat barrel is rancid after
scrubbing and rinsing it as clean as
possible, turn it upside down and rest

with green hickory chips or corn-cobs.
If it be charred little no harm is done.
Fowls can't possibly thrive and do
well if they have to stand around in the

The notion that certain kinds of
food are detrimental to the complexion
is false one, A good digestion and a
healthy appetite will take care of the
skin, and it matters little what one eats,
if the stomach is allowed to do its work
properly and furnish good material for
pure blood.

--Flat-irons that show a disposition
to rust may, while vet trifle warm, be
rubbed on edges and faces with tallow;

be sold direct to the retailer, thus saving to

JOLLIFYNG CHINESE

In purely disinterested spirit we
hasten to advise our Republican friends
to restrain the jubiiation which their
Chinese adherents are disposed to eX-
hibit over the selection of HARRISON
as the Republican candidate for the
presidency.
Our Monaghan sojourners have excel
lent memories and the commendable
trait of approaching their friends.
Therefore, when they recall the perSiS-
tent advocacy by Senator HARRISON of
a policy which would allow them to
enter this country and compete with
American worlImen, it is but natural
that they should give expression to the
JOY animating them at the possibility
even though very faint--Of his elevation
to a place where he could still further
befriend them.
OF course. 10 fault can be found
with exhibitions of gratitude per Sc,
but we call our Republican friends
attention to the fact that such
exhibitions on the part of the Chinese
are we'll calculated to arouse the ami
mostly and ire of honest workmen, who
bitterly resent the competition OF
Chinese cheap labor, and who will be
disposed, as they observe the jollifying
OF the Inifd-cyed Ceiestials, to vote

SABlN CONVERSES.
The Senator Talks Harrison, Nor
ton and Platform.


Senator Sabin beamed amiably
on the GLOBE yesterday afternoon, and,
after finding chair, he talked some
time of the Republican outlook:
81 sat beside Harrison for four years
i'm the senate, and know him well. His
nomination is strong one and the
ticket will win. AS to the platform l
believe there is an honest, sincere de-
sire and determination on the part of
the Republicans to give the country a
fair. square tariff revision for business
purposes, and not for political capital.
| would personally have preferred a
stronger announcement on this question,
putting all the necessities on the free
list, and notably sugar; and essentially
modifying and reducing at least one
half Oh lumber, salt, coal and iron. In
short, so far as the lumber and salt in
tereStS are concerned, l would put them
on the free list if | could. l am not.
however, one of that class to be led into
any rash position by wholesale howl
for free trade, for l believe in the
prosperity of the masses and the pro-
lection of the manufacturing interests
of this country, and the securing or
maintaining of a general prosperity for
these interests. The maintenance of
this general prosperity for our laboring
and manufacturing interests is the true
interest of the state of Minnesota. l
have always leaned toward modification
of the tariff and entertained more liberal
ideas on this question than many Repub-
lican friends in the East do. AT the
same time the prosperity of the whole
country in my view will bring the
greatest good to the greatest number of
people, including the state of Mime

A PIONEER HoNORED.
Hon. Henry Hastings Sibley,
From Princeton University.

RGmorS were current yesterday in select
circles in our city that Princeton university,
of which the venerable DR.. McCosh has so
long been the president and whose eminent
successor now is DR.. Patton. OF the theolog-
ical seminary had conferred academic and
literary honors upon Gen. Henry III. Sibley,
the first citizen of our state. Upon inquiry
Us to the source of the rumor We found that
the news had been sent by private letter from
his son Harry TO Gen, II. W. johnson, brother
in-law of Gen. Sibley. The words are: 1.-THE
honorary degree OF Ii. ID. has been conferred
upon Uncle Sibley by the Princeton faculty"
Further inquiry developed the fact that q
day or TWO ago the following telegram was
sent to Gen. Sibley by one of the professors
of the faculty:
..PRINcEToN j une 90. 1SSS-To Gen. Henry
Hastings Sibley: You are unanimously
elected an honorary member of the Cliosophic
Society of Princeton. Please notify us of
your acceptance. w. T. Magic. Professor"
This was not all. Yesterday developed the
following telegram, not received by Gen.
Sibley till the forenoon:

unanimously conferred the degree of Doctor

We congratulate our esteemed citizen, Gen.
Sibley full of honors as of years, upon this
distinguished compliment to his merit from
a source second to none for eminence in this
whole country. Those are honors worth hav-
ing. The "Clio" is repnted as one of the
most celebrated literary societies in the
United States, and has a roll of eminent
names, many of whom are OF worldwide

composed of large body of eminent schol-

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic state committee wi IL
to-day issue the official call for the state
convention, fixing Wednesday, August
Is. as the date. While there were rea-
sons why good many people would
have preferred ali earlier date, the time
selected has the merit of Justice to all.
1t enables any one who may desire to
come before the convention as candi-
date to make his preliminary canvass
thoroughly, but it also gives those who
may be chosen by the convention
plenty of time for effective campaign
work. The people generally favor short,
sharp and decisive campaigns. However
much the politicians may delight in
politics, many people, perhaps major
ity, regard it as an aff1iction which I'M
fortunately must be endured period
icaliy. To these especially, a short cam
paign will commend itself, even if they
take the keenest interest in it while it
lasts. Therefore, taking into considera-
ton both the disposition of the people
and the rights of candidates, the date
selected is probably as suitable as could
have been chosen.
The arguments which the Democratic
party will present to the people are
pithy and to the point. They will not
require an extended time for their forci-
BILE presentation.

The official call will he issued at once

The official call will he issued at once
by Mr.. Doran. No discussion of candi-
dates was had, although the names of
Wilson, Rice and Ames were men
toned. The opinion was expressed
that the platform of the coming conven-
ton should be summed up in few
words like this:
I'VE declare for free bread and cloth
ing as against free whisky"
Harvest is expected to be some two
weeks later than usual this year, or
about Aug. l, making the convention
come after it, and giving canvass of
ten weeks. Very encouraging reports
were given OF the growth of the low tax
sentiment among the people. and of the
growing feeling that there was fight
ing show for Minnesota to declare for
tax reduction this fall.
WHAT THE EFFECT
of all this will be on the Republicans
is matter of conjecture. Merriam has
the call of the convention within his
power. He can say when 1t shall be is
sued. If he and McGill combine to
down Scheffer they may have their con-
veDtion about August II, or earlier.
Scheffer desires late convention, Mer-
riam does not, and McGill don't care.
The throw of the dice is with Merriam,
and what he turns up is anXiously
awaited.
