A Reliable Crop.

Farmers in the section Of Southern
Minnesota where there is great shortage
in small grains find it extremely convent
ent to have a few hundred dollars worth
of hogs to send to market. With many of
them hog raising is gradually becoming
the leading farm industry, and with the
facilities for packing farmers can market
their old hogs in summer and fatten their
spring hogs for winter. There is no dis
count on that region as a corn growing sec
tion, and the tendency is for that crop to
supersede wheat and other precarious crops

of meeting was changed from Exeter to Con-
cord, and the time fixed for the 3rd Wednes-
day in june When it met, the conventions
of both Virginia and New York were in ses-
sion. In Virginia the result was doubtful,
while in New York it was generally con-
ceded that the anti-federalists were largely
in majority. II New Hampshire should
ratify, the number of ratifying States would
be nine, the requisite number to give the
constitution force. Hence her action was
awaited with intense interest by the whole
country. The convention met again June
IS. 1888, in the old North meeting house at
Concord. Four days served for discussion
of the constitution, for the preparation and
recommendation of twelve articles of amend
ment, and for its ratification by a vote of 81
yeas to AZ nays. Virginia ratified four days
later, and New York on the Goth Of July, fol-
lowing. Throughout the whole time when
the Constitution was in process of formation
and adoption the conduct of New Hamp-
shire was most honorable. Neither large nor
rich, she was always loyal and to-day her
sons may point to a noble past if not to broad
domains or great political power.

Our neighbor New Hampshire is one of
the thirteen original States that fought the
Revolutionary war and participated in the
framing of the Federal Constitution. On
Wednesday Of last week the New Hampshire
Historical Society observed at Concord the
centennial Of the ratification of the Consti-
tuition by the State, by listening to poem
and an Grafton, the latter by ex-senator
Patterson, and by banquet at which the
Society and its invited guests sat down.
The people of New Hampshire were left in
great poverty by the Revolutionary war,
and when the Constitutional convention
assembled the State was so impoverished
that there was not money enough in the
treasury to send the two delegates, Langdon
and Gilman, to Philadelphia. In the course
of the summer, however, they managed to
raise money enough from private sources to
enable them to reach the convention and
participate in the last proceedings. After
the Constitution was framed and submitted
to the people of the States, New Hampshire
had the honor of being the State,
whose acceptance gave the constitutional
majority needed to form the nation.

The Developments at Chicago on Satur-
day night seem to foreshadow the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Blaine on an early ballot today.
1t has been evident enough to the most
casual observer from the beginning Of the
convention that the majority OF the delegates
were at heart for him, and were only
restrained from voting for him by his
letters of declination. The long effort to
agree upon somebody else, ami failure to do
so, have now apparently convinced them
that the only prospect OF selecting a
candidate at all is by voting for Mr..
Blaine. OF course the convention takes the
risk of his refusal to accept. which seems
considerable in view of the language of his
last letter. But it probably anticipates that
unanimous request may convince him that
1t is his duty to reconsider his determination
and accept the call of his party. There is no
doubt that his nomination and acceptance
will be hailed with delight by the great ma
jority of Republicans, not only in Maine, but
in other States as WELL That he was the
choice Of the party has been evident enough
for months past, and the only doubt of his
nomination was the doubt raised by his own
letters, in which he seemed to put it out of
the power Of the party to select him.
