Winona Herald: Albert Bulow,
having failed to obtain exccu tive
c'emency, enjoys the distinction Of
heading the list-may it be a short
one-of malefnctors who will expiate
their crimes 10y hanging i'll accord
ance with the regulations prescribed
in such Cases by the last Legislature.
The statute gives no hint of the theo-
ry upon which it is based. The con-
lecture is that the purpose Of the law
makers was to- enshroud the execu-
ton Of the laws dread sentence not
only with privacy, but with some de-
gree Of solemn mystery; but to what
good end? If the object is to make
the punishment more dreadful to the
felon who undergoes it, propably the
law is APPLY devised and likely to be
effective, for certainly the brooding of
night will ado terrors to the scaffold
But it is not the proper office Of penal
law to take vengeance upon offenders.
Torture and unnecessary cruelty are
relics Of barbarism. If, on the other
hand, the chief object Of the statute
under consideration is to increase and
intensity the influence Of executions
in lettering others from crime, tide
teats its purpose by forbidding pub
licity.

The Northwestern Railroader
thinks that the entire construction of
railroads in the Northwest in 1889
will, from present appearances, fall
short Of seven hundred miles. 1t says
that of this two hundred and fifty miles
wll-have been built by the Northern
Pacific; or in direct connection with
it. Of the remainder, another two
hundred and fifty miles will have been
built in the Pacific coast territory,
leaving only two hundred miles for
the rest Of the great Northwest.
These. two hundred miles will be
nude up by the work now being
undertaken in what may be called
the Sioux city region and by Il few
miles in northern Minnesota. This
condition the Railronder thinks is
entirely natural aud has been apparent
since last fall. There is nothing, il
says, 70 tempt the older companies tc
extend themselves, and still less to
induce capitalists to put money into
new enterprises. While there is
room for new lines and the country III
many places needs them, under the
present burden Of hostile legislation,
il the West at least, railroad building
has been reduced to the level Of one
OF the most uncertain forms of invest
ment. The Railroader says The
public is the sufferer and the public
is to Observation-Disclosures.

Iron W. Wooden Sleepers,

A few years ago the German railway
companies were convinced that iron
sleepers were superior to wooden ones
In 1866 there were laid on the German
lines : ,46a, 600 new wooden sleepers and
1907, 1853 iron ones; but in ths following
year there were only s6s, 1858 iron sleepers
used. against $4,000 wooden ones
Last year there were 2,677, 424 wooden
sleepers laid and only 750,670 iron ones
The use Of wood for sleepers seems, there
fore. to be gradually increasing in Ger
many and the employment Of iron dimin-
ishing. The French railway companies
have always opposed the use Of iron
sleepers in France, but they make less
objection to them in Algeria, where the
extreme heat makes their application
more profitable. New York Telegram.

Northwestern AgricuIturalist: 1t is
doubtful if there has ever been sea-
son like the present. 1t opened
hopefully with an early spring. 4
long drought followed which brought
crops to the verge of ruin. Straw
was short and it seemed impossible
that good weather could do much to
bring out even All average result.
But over nearly all Of Minnesota and
in many parts Of Dakota timely rain
came in June, and the TRANSFORMED
ton was simply marvellous, and at
this writing there is prospect of the
hest harvest for years in Minnesota,
and probably a good half crop in Da-
kota. The rains came just us the
grain was beginning to head, and
weather, for the most part cool and
favorable, has followed, SO the straw
is not heavy, every shoot bears a
head, and every head is filled to the
tip with plump grain. It is proba-
BILE that even fields that look scarcely
worth harvesting, will disappoint "a
vorably at the threshing machine.
1t is reasonably certain that Minneso-
ia and Dakota taken together will
not fall much short Of an average
crop Of grain of a high grade, if no
general and widespread disaster
comes within the next ten days.
Such an outcome is matter of con-
graduation and thankfulness, An
other failure, following successive un-
favorable seasons, would have made
hard times still harder. With a good
crop, this will be a debt paying year,
especially in Minnesota. No more
hopeful people live than those Of the
Northwest, and with the encourage
ment good crop will give, work will
begin all along the line which will
revive industries and trade, and open
what we may reasonably hope will be
a long season of prosperity.

Excitabie people can now get ner-
VOWS over trouble between the United
States and England, but the average
citizen Of either country will not 'ex-
pect any serious difficulty: A few
days ago u United States ship took
possession Of a British ship in Beh-
ring sea, because the crew Of the lat
ter boat had been catching seals con-
trary to the rules established by the
United States authorities. One Cit
zen Of the United States was placed
on the captured boat, and directions
were given for it TO report at the
Alaska capital. As SOON as it was
away from the presence of the Ameri
can boat it sailed for Victoria, B. c..
Therefore the United States has de-
fled British laws by capturing boat
in territory that Great Britain Claims
equal rights in, and the captured Off
GERS and crew boldly defed the Unit
ed States by declining to obey orders
after surrendering. No damage has
been done except to the feelings Of the
different parties, and the only proper
ty involved WAS 50 seal skins, that the
American commander transferred to
his own ship.
Such exhibitions are unpleasant to
the people OF both nations, however,
and speedy settlement should be
made Of this and other questions of
national difference. ltisquite doubt
tul if the United States can properly
insist on police control Of Behring sea
because the seals caught on the Alas
ka islands are occasionally in that
body Of water. 1t is certain that if
the seal hunters are allowed freedom
in Behring sea, the whole stock of
seals will be exterminated, but that
does not give this nation any legal
right to drive foreign fishermen from
the high seas. A treaty that would
protect the seals would be Of as much
advantage to England and other
countries as to this, but the grounds
are not strong enough to enable this
nation to compel such treaty, or to
sustain its position without treaty
The administration has been obeying
orders of the last congress, which
we're in line with the established poll
cy Of this country since Alaska was
acquired. Russia owned both shores
Of Behring sea, and controlled that
body Of water, and the effort was
made to transfer her authority to this
country. Other nations, however
denied her contrib or right to transfer
