STATE SENTIMENT.

The Willmar Argus has opened quite
a fusillade against Gov. Merr;am's re-
nomination. Does this mean that the
lieutenant governor is DESTROYS of tax
ing a step higher?-BenSon Times.
Since interviewing a majority of the
editors on the editorial excursion, the
Union is now convinced that W. r. Mer-
riam will not be renominated. A large
number oppose him, and are not at all
afraid of expressing opinions to that
etfect.-Anoka Union.
North Dakota has adopted a provision
in its constitution providing that plow-
ing and cultivation of land shall not be
taxable. This is a step in the direction
of the single tax theory, and its prac-
tical workings will be watched with a
good deal of interest by all.-Herman
Enterprise.
The st. Paul GLOBE cannot preclpi-
tate a discussion with the Tribune as to
the senatorial merits of Mr.. Window.
The secretary of the treasury is just
about the most graceful figure that
adOrns the present national adminiStra-
ton; and he is doubtless now. as when
in the senate. entirely content to look
handsome and discharge his present
dutieS.-Duluth Tribune.
Wheter the cry OF Justice TO McGllF"
will actually result in the denomination
of eX-Gov. McGill or not, the fact be-
comes awfully emphatic that t e people
have raised the price on ~purehaSable
official seats. There is nc longer a
chance to make a sneak and get a cor
ner on the market without an immense
outlay, and the probability is that the
thing will be overdone as a business in
vestment and some worthy man be in
duced to accept the Office without effort
in his own behalf. There are men of
brains and ability in Minnesota who
would make worthy governors, strange
as that may seem.-St. Peter Tribune.
The political romancing of the st. Paul
GLOBE is very interesting if nothing
more, and at this dull season is particu-
larly good reading. According to the
writer, ex-Gov. McGili is soon TO shy his
castor into the g~ubernatorial ring. as he
thinks that the acts of Gov. Merriam
have entitled him to another chance for
a vindication. The disappointed office
seekers and the bounced officials are
also programmed to make it hot for the
good-looking William R. Well, it would
be a funny sort of occasion when an
election in Minnesota wasn't made a
mighty interesting event.-Mankato

RURS FED BOSSES.

The result of the Republican conven-
ton in North Dakota is somewhat of a
surprise to those who have observed the
situation specifically. A new combi-
nation seems to have broken down the
old crowd that has held sway since
the territory has had much politics.
The Grand Forks Herald, whose editor
held a front seat in the band wagon,
and claims that his was the only daily
that made a straight fight on the gang,
regards it as a SULLIVAN blow between
the eyes ''for the old gang" and the
corporations, and uses this language:
''The corporations spared not their
Doodle. The old gang was as fertile in
expedients and shrewd in maneuyer as
of yore. The ring died game; they
fought to a finish. In their death Strug-
gle expedients were resorted to to boil
ster up the combine that would
startle the sensibilities of people not ac-
Quainted with their exploits heretofore.
Although utterly yanquiShed in the
outcome, they have made a record that
will confront them should they reap
pear in the political arena. The pop
ular uprising has only commenced"
1t explains further that it a
breaking of the senatorial slate, and
that ORDwAY and PIERCE will be left
out in the cold with ALLEN. The new
combine seems to have won by a fusion
of the alliance and prohibition elements.
aided by a good deal of personal feel
ing against prominent members of the
gang.

JUDGE Villas is DEAD.

Although he had not been very long
a resident of this city, Judge Villas
had endeared himself to our people in
an unusual degree, and the news of his
death yesterday created the most pro-
found sorrow and universal regret. He
was a most exemplary man in all the
relations of life, quiet and un~obtrusiye
in his manner, an urbane, kind and
courteous gentleman, of commanding
ana elegant person; just such a man as
would win the respect and confidence
of any community. He was regarded
by his associates in his profession as a
lawyer of extraordinary ability; and
the best evidence of the high esteem in
which he was held, both as a mar and a
lawyer, by the bar ASSOCIATION, is that he
was among the first named by them for
a position on the bench when the last
legislature provided for the appoint
ment of two additional judges in
this district. Although Of the opposite
political persuasion, his nomination was
promptly confirmed by the governor.
His judicial career was Of short dura-
ton, yet 1t was long enough to demon
strate his peculiar fitness for the bench
and to confirm the wisdom of his ap-
pointment. Conspicuous, however, as
were Judge Villas abilities and quail
fcations as a jurist, yet his social viz
tues shone so brilliantly under all cir
cumstances that his personal friends
will always hold his memory first and
most tenderly in connection with their
display. But this Chevalier BAYARD
of public and private life has
wrapped the drapery of his couch
about him and laid to pleasant
Dreams" His useful and instructive
life has been terminated suddenly.
1t is not ours to question why such
valuable men die in the midst of their
usefulness, or why it is that their sun
should go down while it is yet day. We
only know that the bright days of his
manhood are spent. His example now
alone remains to US to admOniSh us to
integrity of purpose and industry of
action. If his memory shall serve to
inspire US with that amenity of spirit in
our intercourse with each other, that
gentleness of and gravity of
temper which distinguished him, Judge
Villas has not lived in vain. Inasmuch
as the living are benefited by the ex-
amples of the dead, the world has made
a step in the march of progress when
| ever a great and good man has lived
and died.

SURPLUS WHEAT CROP.

To the Editor of the Globe.
| see that the total wheat crop of this
country for this year is estimated by the agri-
cultural bureau at 4S5, 900, 900 bushels. Can
you tell me how much this will be in excess
of the home demand, and what authentic
information have you concerning the wheat
crop of Europe? READER
Minneapolis, Aug. %.
1t is estimated that $50, 900, 600 bushels
is the quantity of wheat required for
home consumption and seed, which will
leave an excess of $4,000, 900 bushels
for expectation. In addition to this
there is the surplus brought over from
last year, which on the first day of July
last was estimated at 80, 000, 900 bushels
in excess of the minimum stock always
carried. Part of this surplus, either as
wheator in the form of flour, was hurried
forward to be exported IN July before
the new wheat got into market, and
another part is now going forward or is
being taken into consumption. Thus
the actual supply in excess of the home
demand, and available for exports this
year, will probably not exceed It's. 000,-
900.
AS to the wheat crops abroad, we have
the authority of the London Economist
for the statement that the oldest farmer
in England cannot remember a season
of greater fruitfulness than this one has
been for all varieties of farm products,
and the wheat yield in England is esti-
mated to be three-quarters of a million
more than that of last year. The
same journal says that the crop in
France is a good one, although. not up
to early expectations. SPAN, Portugal
and Germany all report excellent crops.
| But there is a serious deficiency
Russia, Hungary, Roumania, and in
some of the more important districts in
Austria and italy. The official esti-
mate for India is nearly 1000, 600 BUSH
els less than the wheat crop of last year.
Thus we are enabled to see that there
will probably be a European demand
for all of our surplus, but it will not be
so great as to Justify the belief that
there will be any extraordinary rise in
the price of American wheat.

THROUGH THE WHIRLPOOL.
Carlisle Graham Makes a Foolish
EXPERIMENT at Niagara.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Aug. 25.-
Carlisle D. Graham made a successful
trip through the whirlpool rapids this
afternoon in a barrei-shaped boat. At
first the boat travelled easy, but soon
was in the grasp of the more rapid
current that fastened its journey.
1t rode beautifully. In the trip through
the rapids it frequently disappeared
from sight, and when it struck the big
wave in front of Buttery's elevator, it
was out of sight SO long that many be-
lieved it to be lost. The course it took
was down the center of the river. AT
1852 O'Clock it entered the whirlpool,
gathered there to witness his friends
recover the barrel were doomed to be
disappointed, for instead of being
caught in the main current and
carried across the pool as is
usually the case, it Rugged the
American side. and was carried into the
quiet water in front of the outlet and
was forced slowly over nearly to the
Canadian side. For a minute it was a
question whether it was to go around
the spool" or down the river. But the
Ouuward-bound current was too
strong, and at asa p. m.
Graham passed out of the
pool and down through the
fearful water opposite Fosters flats
which is the spot most feared by all
rapid navigators. All these dangers
Graham to-day passed in safety, and at
sos D. m. Seymour, Fleming and John
Lonsdale, of Lewiston, picked him and
his little vessel up just above the old
Lewiston bridge, on the Canadian side.

CINCINNATI, O.. Aug. 25.-At 10
o'clock tonight the Coney island

the river, came into direct collision with
the little harbor steamer Lame Duck,
going up the river, just a quarter Of a
mile above the Newport & Cincinnati
railway bridge, and utterly an
initiated the Lame Duck. There was
a crew of five On the Lame Duck,
and four of them were picked up
uninjured by men in a yawI. George
B.. Alexander. the engineer, and the
fifth man on the little craft, went under
the revolving paddle-w wheels of the big
stamer Commonwealth, which was
backing, and came to the surface near
the guard of the boat, where a plucky
passenger caught the exhausted en-
gineer by the hair and held him up
until others could draw him on
the boat, where he was fonnd
to be uninjured. The Lame Duck
was valued at $1,000. The Common

At 11:15. less than an hour and a half
