St. Paul daily globe., 1888-07-28

dozen counties in the north have re-
Gently displayed the ALLEN colors, and
the sage of CasSelton demands that the
north shall come down as a unit for
ALLEN. This caniiot be done. The
venerable POTTER, HUBBARD, WIN
SHIP and HANSBRoUGH, with other un-
two-state men, stand out
distrustful of his record on the division
question, and the extremists south de-
clare that there are no true blues north
that they will trust no man north OF
the 46th parallel. The north has never
had but one man in congress, and as
matter of rotation should now have a
show. A man is demanded now who
would be willing to sacrifice all his
wife'S relations rather than. consent to
admission as one state.

Some of the Republican papers seem
to think that the eXigencies Of this CAN
vaSS require them to quibble over the
plank in The Democratic platform pro-
viding for division when the people
wish it. They insist thai the similar
proviso on the admission of Texas Is
no more than all the states possess.
This is more partisan than truthful.
The Texas prOviso is that when the
population is sufficient the people, with
the consent of the state of Texas, may
form not more than four states, which
shall be entitled to admission. This
gives a claim not possessed in other
cases, and congress cannot rightfully re-
fuse admission to such new states when
they come under the constitutional con-
ditionS.
1t will be noticed in the Washington
dispatches that CLIFFORD and SPRINGER
are boon companions, and when the
delegate feels the Somnolent mood COM
iEg on he seeks the society of the wide
awake Illinois member. The matter is
only noteworthy from the fact that it is
the fashion of GIFFORD's supporters to
denounce SPRINGER as an enemy to Da-
kOta and fellow to be diScounteuanced
and put down. CLIFFORD evidently
does not find him prejudiced against
Dakota.

There is short lesson to milk pro-
ducerS in the defalcation and exit of
LATHROP, the proprietor Of the keyeS
creamery in the Sioux Falls region
The lesson costs them about $4,000,
fact that should make it impressive.
This LATHRoP paid l5 cents per gauge
for his cream. while the highest that
any Legitimate operators could pay was
IL cents. He became immensely pOpu-
lar and drew business from the neigh
boring creamerieS-and when pay day
came he had departed. Farmers will
generally dc well to keep their eyes
prettJ steadily on any man who proposes
to pay them more than the value of any
product.
Some of the North Dakota politicians
insist that that section must go to the
Watertown convention as a unit for a
candidate from the North-PLUMMER
says for ALLEN or some other man.
The Republican schemers who have
been running the politics of the terri
tory cannot break away from the old
methods of schemes and combinations.
They would take small satisfaction in
getting their man nominated if they
did not in doing it down some other
gang or combination.

As the case is stated the technicalitieS
of ecclesiastical law stood in the way of
justice at the recent session of the NJ.
E. district conference at Grafton. The
Methodist law allows divorce for but
one OffenSe. Rev. L. B. TOPE had sep
arated from his wife for seven or eight
years on the alleged ground of intidel-
ity, when he fell in love with another
woman and wanted to marry her. Of
course he had to have a divorce first.
He had to procure it in Minnesota,
where adultery is only good for di-
vorce three years. That time had
passed, and desertion was the plea. But
this wouldn't go with the church stat
utes, and consequently MIR. TOPE, hav-
ing married again, was deposed from
the ministry and expelled from the
church, consigning him to eternal rep
rotation. But Mr.. TOPE has taken an
appeal to the higher general confer
ence, which meets at Jamestown in Oc-
tober, and his case will elicit a good
deal of interest.
BUDD REEVE, the Buxton boomer,
statesman and writer, who incidentally
looks after bonanza farm and eleva-
tor or two. dropped in on the GLOBE
yesterday, and spoke in glowing terms
of the wheat promise of his section.
He estimates the yield of the territory
at 75,00O,000 bushels-which is quite
credible of the totals last year, which
were 60,0O0,000 against 30,000,000 the
previous year. But small portion of
the wheat lands are yet in cultivation.
and Mr.. REEVE sees no reason why tn he
ratio of increase should not continue
till Dakota produces more wheat than
all the states combined. He relates
that some years ago capitalist went
to the Red river valley to buy land,
and after a few days travel over that
country he stated that. from his obser-
vations and computations, it would go
on increasing its wheat product until it
would be so enormous as not to be
worth anything. Consequently, he
would not invest. But as that section
can grow wheat cheaper than almost
any other part of the world, there need
be little apprehension that it will not
find market for its superior product.

The managers of the North Dakota
fair, to be held at Grand Forks in Sep
tember, are displaying the energy and
enterprise that are characteristic of that
section. They have scored big point
in getting the 1-cent-a-mile fare, which
