meeting held on Thursday, unanimous

as successorsto Warden Stordock, who
has resigned.

Editor if he tells the truth about you.
In Minnesota he gets Walloped if you
want to have it that he has lied about
you. That's the only difference. In
neither case is it creditable.
AEx-Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Todd, who was fired by Merriam to
give place to Dearth, of LIE Sdeur, uti-
Lies about half of the Redwood Gazette
this week in roasting Gov. Merriam.
This looks bad. We do not approve of
Merriam action in removing Mr.
Todd, but we do not like to see dis
appointed officer squeal and feel sore
over his defeat. Such letters as Mr..
Todd s only tend to hurt the party and
he should not have written them.
4 Right after the Seattle disaster, the
news is telegraphed that Spokane Falls.
the rising city Of the West, has been
destroyed by fire. $40,O0O,OOO is the
estimate loss and every business house
in the city is in ruins. The fire broke
out Sunday afteanoon and soon de-
stroyed everything in its reach The
sympathy and purse of the people will
again be called on and they will respond
most heartily. The city will rise again
as Seattle did and where now is ruins
will soon be a handsomer city than be-
fore.
Queen Victoria wants parliament to
appropriate from the royal treasury for
the support Of her children and grand
children. This looks pretty much like
gall and has a taste of cheek that the
representatives of the English people
ought to detect. The royal head Of so
great a nation should be able to sup
port her own children and as to making
her children's children q tax on the ma
tion's Golfers, it is rank indeed. It is
asking to make the government a royal
poor house and most expensive one at
that The royal family is a pretty ex-
pensive appendage as it is, considering
its utter uselessness, and parliament
would be warranted in lessening the
cost instead Of increasing.
The State Agricultural Society under
the real estate President Bushnell has
gone into the statistic gathering busi-
ness OF finding out early how many
acres OF wheat farmers SOW and how
much it is likely to yield and all that.
And the business men of St. Paul are
said to call the scheme valuable aid
to them and consequently they favor
il. Now why should the state fund be
used to gathering crop statistics or at.
least pay for gathering them? We.
never could see why the farmer should
be taxed to pay for gathering statistics
to place his exact condition in the.
hands of the business man or specula-
tor. Il there is really any good rea-
son we have never yet seen it adyanc-
ed nor heard it expressed. A state
fair is q state fair and not bureau of
/ information for wheat dealers, and our
| opinion is President Bushnell would do
better to attend strictly to fair bus
mess and let well enough alone.-W A
SEGA RADICAL.
Mr. q. w. Pratt, q prominent Mimi
eapolis man, who has just returned from
view of the Dakota crop prospects. is
quoted as follows:
Our trip included the larger part Of
the wheat area Of southern Dakota. We
/ covered thoroughly the main of the
Hastings q Dakota and branches of the
Milwaukee road south of the Northern
Pacific. In general the outlook. is far
from promising. The region we visited
last year yieldeu about 8, 200, 600 bush

yield Of over 1000, 600. We have 25
grain houses upon these lines, and there
are only five Of them that we can afford
to run on this year $ crop. Throughout
the James River valley the higher
slopes have received considerable rain,
and there the crop is good, but in the
river bottoms the ground is parched
and dry, and the crop almost an entire
