Father La1kin, who has just been made chaplain in the army, obtained his con6rma- tion from the Senate in an odd way. He had been bluffed off by the Senate military com mittee until his patience was exhausted. Last Thursday he entered the committee room and calling the clerk aside said, ia a tone of voice which could be heard in all parts of the room: Hook here. young man, I want my ] nomination confirmed. I want my case set | tied 80 that can draw my money. I have no money, and the hotel people say that if I l don't pay my bill I'll have to go. Tell the committee my predicament."

GEN. SHERIDAN'S FUNERAL.

This is day of national mourning.
Gen. SHERIDAN'S remains will be COM
mitted to their final resting place, and
The whole nation will stand with uncov-
cred head in respect to the memory of
the dead commander. 1t is being done
with SHERIDAN as ought to have been
done with GRANT. He is to be buried in a
national cemetery. on an eminence over
looking the national capitol, and but a
little ways from Mount Vernon. He will
also sleep in the midst of an army of
brave comrades, who gave their lives in
the cause which he distinguished, and
almost within sight of the scenes which
were made historical by his and their
vaior. Looking from Arlington west
ward one can distinctly see the beautiful
Blue ridge, just beyond which, in peace
ful repose, lies the beautiful Shenan-
dOah valley, where SHERIDAN made his
memorable twenty-mile ride. Looking
southwark the eye can almost locate the
exact spot where once stood the famous
apple tree at AppOmattoX. How fit a
place, then, is Arlington for the graves
OF the illustrious dead, and what happy
thought it was to lay SHERIDAN there.
The next movement should be to re-
move the remains of Gen. GRANT to
rest by his side, and then TO leave a
resting place for Gen. SHERMAN when
his time comes; and thus Arlington,
like Mount Vernon, will become conse-
Grated ground forever.

lie all other buyers, they prefer to buy

Use ali otner buyers, they prefer to buy
the best and cheapest.
1t Is fairly evident from these statis-
ties that our American farmers, as well
as the farmers of India, must make up
their minds to accept still lower prices
than they have yet received if they eX-
pect to compete with Russia in the
English wheat market. How is this to
be done, is the uppermost question in
The minds of our Western farmers.
They are selling wheat now at ruinous
prices, and how can they afford to sell
at still lower prices? 1t is beyond their
power, even with the aid of their Indian
rivals in wheat production. to drive
hussian wheat out of the English mar
kets. What, then, is to be done
about it?
There is only one rational answer to
the question.
The conditions for raising wheat must
be cheapened. That is the answer.
How is this to be done? we are asked.
Simply by removing the useless and
unnecessary taxes from all articles that
farmers must buy. With cheaper farming
implements, with cheaper clothing,
with cheaper homes, with cheaper
transportation for their surplus prod
ucts, the farmers of the West could
compete with Russia, or all the world
for that matter, in food production.
But as long as the existing war taxes
are retained the farmers of the West
will have their noses held to the grind
stone, and they will be ground off of
them, too, while Russia will be prosper
ing with trade that the God of the
Universe designed as the great element
In American prosperity.
There is no country on the face of the
globe so well adapted by nature to
cereal productions as our own. and yet
there is none which in so limited a de-
gree enjoys the bounty of natures pro-
vision. And 1t is all because the life of
the farmers is being taxed out of them
for the benefit of few Eastern manu-
facturerS,

The Seheffer Men Get Pills
bury Back to McGill Once
More.
Good Reasons Why Seheffer
and Merriam Are to Lose
This Trip.
The People Continue to Talk
About Candidates and
the Issues.
Candidates Who Wish to Seize
Upon the Small
Offices.

For creating sensational scares some
of the Scheffer managers take the bis
cult. 1t was only few weeks ago that
they succeeded in divorcing John S.
Pillsbury from McGill and attaching
him to the tail of the Merriam kite.
Now they spring the story that Pills
burg has dropped Merriam and gone
back to McGill. They give the eX-gov-
ernor credit for a degree of Hopping
only equaled by the phenomenal phe-
nomenon, John l.. Gibbs.
There was an apparent show of truth
in PillsbuIy's desertion of McGill, but
time has not proved it, and it is proba-
ble that, like Fletcher, John S. remains
true to the man whom he helped to
make, nearly defeated and has since
blushed for several times.
John S. is old enough in politics to
know that unless the entire state con-
vention is purchased outright, Merriam
cannot be nominated, and that as for
Scheffer he is between Scylla and
Charybdfs and certain to wreck on ONE.
McGill. of the three. has the most GER
tainty of being nominated, and if he is
beaten it will be by a new candidate
whom John S. may name.
The vital points of weakness in Mer-
riam'S campaign are his money, his low
license record and his mining record as
POI itical candidate i'll his own home.

The course of the st. Paul GLOBE in
the present canvass for the Democratic
nomination is one which thoroughly dis
gusted Democrats and delighted Repub-
licans in this locality. no matter what
that feelings may be towards the So
called "bosses." The GLOBE appears to
have dropped its mission as an organ of
the state Democracy, and is deVOting
all its energies to defending and yindi-
eating the city hall and Ramsey county
gangs" so called. It is evident. too,
that the GLOBES SympathieS are for AL
bert Schetfer, and that it has only abuse
for such lifelong and loyal Democrats as
Judge Flandrau. Towards Hon. E. NJ.
Wilson, the apparent choice of theMinne-
sofa Democracy for governor. the GLOBE
maintains an unfriendly attitude. Mr..
Wilson is acknowledged to be the su-
perior of any Republican candidate and
the peer of any Democrat in the State.
He is not, nor never has been, allied
with what is known as the ''Kelly and
Doran' wing of the party. Why, then,
the GLOBES position? Simply because,
like the Ramsey county Scheffer delega-
ton, it cares nothing about state party
success. 1t seeks only the triumph of
the gang"

THE WHEAT MARKET

Our Western farmers have been led
TO believe that the falling off of our
wheat trade with Great Britain and the
corresponding decrease in the price of
wheat has resulted from competition
with India. We have, therefore, most
surprising revelation in the official fig
ures recently published by the British
board of trade, which demonstrate that
the Indian wheat crop cut very little
figure in governing the English market.
The official returns for the first half of
this year, as compared with the same
period for 1887, reveal the fact that it is
Russia, and not India, that is the most
formidable competitor our American
wheat growers have to contend
with. The figures for 1887 show
the amount of food StutfS shipped
from the United States, in hundred
weights, to have been 17,52S.OOO. from
India 3,603, 900, from Russia 1,491, 600
and from all other countries 3,121, 600.
. The amount shipped from the United
States was twelve times more than from
Russia, four times more than from India
and more than double all the grain
shipments i'll the world. For the same
period in 1888 there is startling differ
ence in the figures. Our shipments
drop Off more than one-half, India loses
one-third, while Russia gains over SOC
per cent. and makes a showing almost
equal to that made by the United States
Here are the official figures for the frs,
half of the year 1888: United States
S,337 600; India, 1873, 200; Russia, z, $50,
600; and other countries 4,112,0OO.
Thus it will be seen that Russia is
displacing both India and ourselves il
the London wheat market. The British
board of trade returns likewise show
that Russia also placed extremely large
quantities of oats and barley upon the
market during the past half year. The
reason why the English buyers have
Disseminated against their own coun
t ymen, as well as ourselves, is because

election. Gresham would have been
more suitable to me. L hope Albert

but if he is not, Knute Nelson, Gen.

NJ. B. Sheppard, of Herman. says of
Scheffer:

to indorse the Chicago platform, could
not support him. l will not support a

afternoon. He had been working on

by a rope. The rope either slipped
or broke, and he lost his hold.
He was dangling in the elevator

at least seventy-iye feet. He struck on
top of the passenger elevator at the first
floor, but landed on his feet. He re-

was badly Jared, but by the time the

home he had sufficiently re-
covered to be able to walk out
