Tariff Reduction Demanded.

oIeePy Eye HerdIU. =
The st. Paul GLOBE of last Saturday
publishes nearly seventy-five letters
from various persons giving their opin-'
ion in favor, or opposing, tariff reduc-
ton and giving their reasons. The let,
ters are from Republicans and Demo
Gratis from all parts of Minnesota, in
Guiding farmers, professional men and
business men. Four-fifths of them are
in favor of a radical reduction of the
tariff, and those in favor of moderate
protection under a tariff for revenue,
protest against the excessive and un-
reasonable tariff duties that constitute
the present schedule.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

The late chief justice is hardly cold in
death, but that doesn't prevent people from
discussing the merits and dement's OF those
who are named in connection with the ap-
pointment of his successor. 1t is singular to
observe with what unanimity the Republic
ans agree in the opinion that Judge COOLEY
is the only man fit to wear Judge YATES
mantle. The singular part of the Repub-
ican admiration for COOLEY at this time ap
pears more conspicuously when we recall his
late defeat for the Office of chief justice in
the Republican state of Wisconsin. If he
isn't fit for the Office of chief justice of Re-
publican court in Republican state, why is
it they think he is the only man fit 10 be ap
pointed to the chief justiceship of the
supreme court of the United States by
Democratic administration.
Judge CooLEY's eminent legal abilities are
recognized by everybody outside of Wiscon-
sin, but there are number of Democratic
lawyers just as capable of filing the vacancy
created by Judge WAITE's death as Judge
COOLEY. There is Secretary BAYARD, who is
regarded as one of the foremost constitu-
tional lawyers in the Union. He is just in
the prime and vigor of life, and certainly pos
sesses all the dignity and purity of character
necessary to adorn the position. Judge
THURMAN is conceded to be too old. If he
had twenty years of his life back, no one
would contest his claim to the distinction.
HoADLY has the mental breadth and legal
attainments to qualify him for any judicial
position. The same is true of CARLISLE. who
is no more of politician than was SALMON
P. CHASE.
list of 100 or 200 lawyers could be made
out, all of them Democrats, any one Of
whom would adorn the Office of chief justice.
So there is no necessity for President CLEvE-
LAND going outside of his own party to find a
successor to Judge WAITE. 1t is barely pos
sible that the presidents eye might light on
Congressman THOMAS WILSON, while glanc-
ing over the field, and if he should size our
Minnesota congressman up as proper per-
son to fill the highest judicial Office in the
nation, it would only be another illustration
of Mr. CLEyELAND's capacity for judging
men.
%*
There are two points that the president
should bear well in mind in selecting Judge
WAITE's successor. First to get man with
the legal attainments. and in the second
place to be sure to get one with the physical
vigor to enable him to perform the arduous
labor of supreme court judge. In the pres
ent overcrowded condition of its docket the

LIND AND FLAX.

Congressman JOHN LIND should not
fool with the tariff. 1t is loaded, and
when gentlemen of his mental density
handle it. their remains are generally
found in the next county. The GLOBE
has already shown the absurdity of the
opposition of LIND to the MILLS bill
on the ground of beans and potatoes
being On the free list.
1t remains for this paper to demon
strate that his argument against 1ree
fax is founded upon mass OF lgno-
rance appalling to contemplate when
presented by congressman from Min
nesota. We're Mr. LIND the repre-
sentative from the most ignorant sec
tions Of the Union, his lack of intelli-
gence might be forgiven; as he is not,
he is open to the seyerest kind OF con-
demnation.
Minnesota produces annually nearly
2,250,0C0 bushels of flax, and the entire
country less than 100000 bushels.
Canada, lying on the borders OF this
country, raised about 10000 bushels OF
flax in 1887, 100000 bushels OF which
were used at home and the remainder
exported. Canada needs more flax than
this. either in seed form or as manufact-
ured products from flax. Apparently
there is no reason why she should not
seek her supply (since she has de-
mand) in this country, and especially In
Minnesota.
Instead of this being the case, under
our high tariff, which shuts our farmers
and their products out of the markets OF
the world, Canada goes to England Tor
her products of fax, leaving the fax-
raisers of the United States at the
mercy of monopolists in the home mar
ket. In 1887 the flax trade between
Canada and Great Britain and Canada
and the United States was as follows:

Balance in favor of England. 1,577,s6S
Free trade England, 5000 miles from
Canada, may and does control her lax
trade, while the American flax raiser,
bound down by a ridiculous tax, sees
his product and it's price manipulated
in the home market by home monopo-
lists. He cannot seek foreign markets,
cannot control the trade of Canada,
which lies at his door: can do nothing
but be at the beck and nod of the capl-
talists, who stand in defense OF high
tariff.
In the name of common sense, Mr..
LIND, since the removal of high taxes
from wool (raw), matches, quinlne, but
tons and other articles, has not de-
stroyed but rather accelerated these in
dustries, why should free flax destroy
flax raising in Minnesota? Have you an
interest in the only linseed oil mill in
Minnesota that you would keep from
Minnesota profitable control OF the
flax market of Canada, now dominated
by distant, free trade England?
1t is left for Mr.. LIND to controvert
the assertion of the tariff reformer that
free flax, free sugar, free wool. iron,
coal, and so on, means the giving of a
stimulus to American agriculture and
manufactures that will make them the
controlling factors in the markets of the
world.

Reminiscence of books and papers of
the period recalls the dire and untitled
want of every species of stationery in
each household, and the rough devices
which were resorted to for supplying
such deficiencies. 1t was a time when
any individual who wished to use an en-
velope might be compelled first to make
it, after the theory of first catch your
hare" etc. The manner of their making
was to cut them out Of paper by a TIN or
p~asteboard pattern, and fasten the flaps
either with glue manufactured from the
gum of the cherry tree, or with ordinary
flour paste. Old desks and secretaries
were ransacked, and frequently not un-
successfully, for the red waters or the
sealing wax of an earlier date. Even
the most stylish and fashionable note
paper for correspondence had an TX
tremely unstylish texture, to say nothing
of its hue, that i'll comported with the
red wax stamped with a crested coat of
arms. The juice of poke berries, COM
pounded with vinegar, or the di~stillation
of a vegetable product known as link

faded from its original purple or crimson
color with great rapidity to one of ugly
rust.
Steel pens were scarcely to be had for
love or Confederate money, and the for
gotten accomplishment of trimming q
gray goose quill to a good nib came to be
once more an accomplishment with an
ascertained value. The mucilage on the
backs of the i'll engraved blue 10 sent
stamps, adorned with the head of Jeffer-
son Davis, often failed of its purposes;
and the fingers, which were Mt infre-
quently tired enough after cutting out
and making the envelope, trimming the
pen and writing the letter, must need

Not Injurious to Her Health

In the face of facts like these and of
many more that might be adduced, we
cannot believe that nature has placed
before woman any constitutional barrier
to the collegiate life, but that so far as
physical reasons are concerned, she may
enter upon it with no more fear han a
man may. That an increasing number
of women will do this, and that it is best
for the state that all should do it who
are destined to be instructors of the
youth of the republic, is in my mind not
at all doubtful.
What is to be the RESULT That is the
crucial question. On the physical health
of the educated woman it will be bene-
fetal. Observation, SO far as it is now
possible, shows that the work Of the full
college curse is favorable to bodily
health. The regularity of life, the salts

A COMMON

A not uncommon mistake of young
farmers who become interested in i'm
proved stocks Is in delaying purchases
until they can afford to buy a fair-sized
herd or flock. Oftentimes it is in every
way better to commence with but a small
number, a single animal if necessary.
The inexperienced breeder may make
serious mistakes in selection or in treat
ment. These mistakes are much less
costly with a small number than with a
large herd. The increase, under favor
able circumstances, is rapid. While a
farmer waits to accumulate money
enough to buy a good herd, a single COW
may give produce enough to make a good
starting point. This is still more strik-
|lngly true of sheep and pigs. This para
|graph is suggested by items in an Eng
lish contemporary, which record the fact
THAT a Shorthorn COW a trifle wei eight
years has given birth to her seventh calf,
-four of them heifers; and that Il single
Cow reserved at a Shorthorn sale in 1876
how has seven female descendants.
Many farmers keep a pure bred bull for
flse on grade of common cows. Often
times the purchase, at moderate price,
|of even one COW of good breeding would
be all that is needed to-secure a good herd
