trail Committee = I
have secured quarters for the Minnesota
delegation to the national convention at
ST. Louis the 5th of June in the Planters
house, that being the only available
place in the city. AS soon as the
national committee had selected st.
Louis as the meeting place the hotels
were apportioned among the various
delegations, and it fell to our lot to be
assigned to the Planters along with the
Wisconsin and Nebraska delegations.
Our quarters are comfortable, and the
biliof fare at the Planters is a good one,
although there is room for some of the
modern hotel Improvements. A large
room at the head of the first fight of
stairs has been set apart for our use,
and we will be conveniently located near
the hall where the convention will meet.
1t does not matter very much who is Sc
lected to represent Minnesota at this
convention; there will be no opposition
to- President CLEVELAND, and one man
might as well go as another; so it is
doubtful whether / will consent to al
low the use of my name as a delegate.
1t Isl my opinion that there will be
unanimous denomination OF Presl-
dent CLEVELAND by reclamation, and
that no other name will be brought be-
fore the convention for the first place
on the ticket. But for the vice presi-
deney, that is another question, and one
that may prove difficult of solution.
There are many gentlemen who desire
to link their fortunes, so far as the sec
ond place is concerned, with GROVER
CLEVELAND, and the convention may
hoy FRI 4
ton, and the gathering may last two.or
three days.
Samuel insult. SAMUEL INSULT, of
New York, and Man
ager for THOMAS A. EDlSON-Oue OF
the most remarkable inventions OF the
age is being perfected by Mr.. EDISON at
the new laboratory which he has just
completed near Orange, New Jersey.
Eighty men are employed i'll perfectlng
an improvement of the phOnograph,
upon which the inventor has bestowed
all of his time for the past six months,
and there is every prospect OF success
full issue from his efforts. Instead OF
using the tinfoil which he formerly en-
ployed, a soft, waX-like material IS
spread over the cylinder and the inn
preSsiOns are taken upon this substance
at every revolution. The sperson who
desires to talk puts his mouth at the
tube or opening, touches a little button,
and while the cylinder reyolves he says
whatever he wishes to communicate.
Touching another button stops the III
strument when,deSired, and the converse
ton is cOrrectly.repOrted. Then this SOFT
material, containing every word uttered
is sent to its destination, where it is
placed upon an instrument similar to
that upon which it originated, and 1t is
repeated word for word and with mar
velous diStinctneSS of articulation.
What was at first intended almost as an
amusing toy is now about to be made OF
commercial Importance and value, Tor
it will readily be seen how Invaluable
such an invention will prove to the busy
professional man. All he will have to
do is to talk into his machine the same
as he would dictate to a stenOgrapher,
and send the roll of manuscript, if such
it may be styled, to its destination and
receive an answer by the same method,
saving time, labor and material, and
guarding absolutely against mistakes,
fer the monograph produces every
word spoken into it.
IL
- Oli'ef PIE, the Dakota
n.,n,a Farmer-It is my in
Daiy lhpie' tention to put 10000
acres under cultivation in the Red
river valley this season, the major pOr-
ton in wheat, and will begin about the
middle of next month. AT present my
/ force of hands are in winter quarters,
but they are getting in condition for
active work as soon as the weather will
permit. From the heavy SHOWS that
have prevailed this winter, have been
led by past experience to expect
larger spring crop, and a possible de-
crease in the yield of winter wheat.
Some weather prophet, l think 1t was
Mr.. KELLOGG, of Chicago, has advised
against any seeding being attempted
in this part of the country before the
Doth instant, and not later than the 18th
of April, but my plans had all been laid
before his prediction or warning was
given. AS far as | can judge from
cursory examination, the ground Will
be in excellent condition by the time
am ready to put the seed into the
ion, be greater than ever before III the
history of the Dalrymple farm.
To be sure, we will raise something
else besides wheat, but that will be our
staple and principal interest, and will
require the services of larger body OF
men than had in ;. my employ last year.
e. j. f. J. CATrELL,
New York Stock Ex-
CatteH. change-GoULDs stocks
have led the market
during the past week. The infiu-
ence of the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy strike had pretty well worn
itself out when the public began to ap-
preciate the full force of the Missouri
Pacific statement recently published.
Rapid increase of mileage, coupled with
cut rates, had reduced netearnings well
on to two millions. Trouble in the di-
rectory was rumored, the be ard met, no
dividend was declared, and per cent
stock of one of the largest systems in
the United States dropped S14 share
between Monday morning and Satur-
day night. This heavy decline did not
affect the general list as much
as was anticipated, the GOULD
stocks in a measure cutting loose from
the rest and showing special weakness.
The week closes with Steadier feeling,
the general impression being that strike
troubles are on the mend. With the
warning roads at peace, rates advanced,
the Missouri Pacific storm over. money
cheap and grain at a point that will adj
NIT of export, short period OF better
prices seems probable. To-day's bank
statement shows another loss of reserve.
TO be sure it is only about half mill
ion, but this is large considering the fact
that deposits have fallen off over $780,
600. Absorption by the United States
treasury continues at the rate of over a
million a week. Since Mr.. GOULD
landed on Missouri Pacific stock, the
movement of the market would have
tendency to show that he has been con-
siderabIy improved by his trip abroad.
