st. Paul Globe: The rapid advance in
the price of wheat is matter of sincere
congratulation to the farmers, not only
in Minnesota, but throughout the North
west. The extraordinary shortage in the
European wheat crop is, no doubt, one of
the stimulating causes of this advance
But there is also an impression that near
lY all the wheat grown in the United
States this season will be needed for home
consumption. leaving but comparatively
small amount for export. If this opinion
turns out to be correct, and the present
condition of the market strongly indi-
Gates 1t, it is fair to presume that high
prices will prevail during the winter, to
be followed by an additional advance
when the stocks are exhausted at the end
of the season, when the squeeze comes.
The European shortage is estimated at
335, 600, 900 bushels, while the visible
supply in the United States from last
years crop is only s05, 600, 900 bushels.
These are conditions which give positive
assurance of high prices for a long time
to come. and they will go far to put the
farmers in easy circumstances. He has
been on the wrong side of the ledger So
long that changed conditions will prove
no |. So interestieg from financial stand,
point than from the novelty of it. He
has had more cause to complain of his
hard lot than almost any other class. II
is clear, however, from trade reports in
nearly every department of buslness, that
an era of prosperity is awakening al
along the industrial line.

Minneapolis and IS speculator of some
sort. makes out a deed to the county of
Emmons for a block. Then he sends his
deed and Bumstead's deed to our sheriff.

around as campaign capital for awhile,
and then he leaves then, with the register
to be recorded. And what does it all sig

AS far as the ticket for treasurer.
sheriff and assessor Is concerned we will
have none of it. We shall not support
Van Putten because he is not fit for the
position either in intelligence or known
| reliability. We are opposed to Renskins
because he is controlled wholly by Vote
Merchant Van Beck, and. through Van
Beck, by Bumstcad ; furthermore, he is
opposed by Charlie Mcintyre, of Burr
Oak township. one of the brightest and
most competent men in the county. AS
TO the candidates for sheriff, our sympa.
thles are with James S. McGee, who made
such brave and manly battle against
Sheriff Wade two years ago. We are for
him because he is an able man and IA good
business man. AS for his opponent, NJ.
&. Waldrotf, we have nothing to say but
what IS good, so tar as personal rcla.
tons are concerned; but that his nomina
btion was asked by the people of this section
we deny, and we believe the votes cast at
the four polling places in this part of
the county will prove us right IN such
denial. Engenc says he is not Il Wade
Bumstead man, and we cannot assert that
he is but he is still Wadcs deputy, and
William V. is not the kind of politician
to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Another thing. AT the outset Mr.. Wall
droff announced that he would run
whether or no--that is regardless of the
wishes of the people of this part of tie
couDty--and he can hardly expect their
support. Besides, Bumstead and Wade
controlled the convention--33 to 24--and
they probably knew what they wanted in
tins case as III every other. Furthermore,
McGcc isn't Wade man ard, although
WaldroT may not be a Wade man, Wade
is Il good enough Wadroff man.
The remainder Of the ticket dubbed
"Republcan" by the Slippery Charley
outfit are all right. They ,.re rot ut all
to blame for the bargain and sale of the
principal places. The legislative and del.
egate nominees will also be looked after.

AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR.

From the beginning of what Wade and,
Bumstead hoped would be an con the
quiet campaign they have fought shy of
all argument and discussion. They have
not been able to show single good rea-
son why there should be such desperate
haste in sacrificing the county's property
and changing the county seat before
there is railroad town in the county,
just to make the Winchester property of
Parker, Wade and Bumstead more valu-
able. The sehemers know positively that
as public opinion stands at present they
have no chance of success In order TO
change such opinion they will most likely
few days before election--when too late
to refute their assertions--send out cir.
cular containing rehash of the false
hoods they have been circulating 'on the
quiet, and such other new yarns as Bum.
stead may ''think up between now and
then. If not put in circular form, it may
be published IN the organ Wade & Bum.
stead have purchased at Winona. The
RECORD believes this is the course vut-
lined by the combine, because if they can.
not turn the present tide their hopes of
private gain at public expense are doomed
to disappointment. But in county with
a population as intelligent as that of EN-
mons an eleventh. hour "roorback'' will
produce little impression.

floor, or hall, Is rented every
night in the week, except Satur-
day, by the various organiza-
lions Of the city. The object
Of the Miners Union is to up
hold the wages Of the camp.
The miners have experienced
but little difficulty in the past
with mine owners in regard to
wages. Labor and capital here
seem to understand each other
and have no trouble In adjust
ing amicably any difference
that may arise. Another great
feature Of this organization is
benevolence. When sickness or
injury befalls one Of its menu
bers, no mother watches over
her child with greater tender
ness than this Union. Whenever
one Of their number Is borne
from the darkened chambers
of our mines to the surface q

its last tribute Of respect to
the dead member by marching
in a body to the silent city Of
the dead.
The next organization which
commands the respect and adj
miration Of the general masses
Of the people is known as the
Knights Of Labor. The first
Assembly Of this order in Nom

but it spread but little over

is now in every city and town
