Minnesota Farmers.
Ex-Gov. McGill Compares Them with
Farmers in the East.

cit seems to me that one who has lived
80 years in Minnesota could not con-
tentedly settle down and live anywhere
else," said ex Gov, A. II. McGill.
have just returned from two weeks
stay in Pennsylvania, my old home, and
while / like the people there immensely,
that state is not to be compared with
this as place of residence. In the first
place, the weather is too unsettled there
for man of steady habits. While we
have had but two rainy days in five
months, they have had but few days OF
decently clear weather, and by reason OF
constant rains their roads are in the
most frightful condition, and have been
all winter. AS consequence trade is
dull and the evidence of hard times and
dullnes are everywhere apparent. The
agricultural interests there seem to have
been thoroughly fiattened out. The soil
is worn and without fertllizing is com
paratively unproductive. Crops are
light and the market is poor.
A Minnesota farmer compares to an
Eastern farmer as giant to plgmy'
While our farmers feel the depression of
poor market at the present time, they
are in comfortable circumstances, with
more than enough to eat and wear and
something to sell. There is no such
thing as hard times among our farmers
-, h. Af Mt
Farming in this state is but play as com.
pared with the everlasting toll of agri-
cultural labor in the hilly states of the
East. Besides, our soil is infinitely bet.
ter. Why, they spend in one year fol
fertilizing material about one-haf the
cost of our lands, and then their soil is
not so productive as ours, and is never
so easily titled.
The farmers of Minnesota have gen.
uine causes of complaint, no doubt, but
their condition is far superior to that OF
the farmers in the East. The fact is, the
natural home of agriculture, such as
cereal growing, stock raising, etc., is in
the Northwest. Both soil and climate
are better adapted to it here, and we
have the strong sinews and vigorous
manhood to crowd on to success. The
Minnesota farmer may swear at the
court and mathematics the railroads and
all that sort of thing, but you never find
him wearing hang dog look. He feels
himself man, has opinions of his own,
and is nobody's fool The politicians
occasionally undertake to use him but
always get left in the end.
There are over 900 farmers in Min
nesota, generally prosperous notwith
standing the distractions which get il
their way. have lived so long in Min
nesota that no other place would seem
| like home to me under the most favor
able circumstances, but aside from this
feeling which may be one purely OF
sentiment, am satisfied from reason
ably close observation and inquiry thai
the farmers of Minnesota and the people
generally, are in much more comfortable
and enviable circumstances than those
of Pennsylvania. If there is a better
state in the Union than Minnesota, l de-
not know which one it is"

a Red Regiment.

Secretary Proctor has evolved out of
his own head scheme which. is en-
inently picturesque. He proposes to re-
cruit for service in the regular army a
regiment of 900 Indians, He will have
them differed by West Point graduates,
but the subordinate places are to be fill
ed with Indians who have been educated
in the schools east.
A gallant cavalry regiment these
Young red men would make - none
drawer, no better riders anywhere. They
would be of great use on the Indian from
tier. The semi-wild life would suit them.
The plan is well worth trying. 1t is one
more step towards breaking in the In
| dian to the usages of civilization. 1t is
true there are one or two little drawbacks
| that might interfere at first. One would
be the hereditary tendency of the red
| soldiers to scalp a conquered enemy,
black, red or white.
The Confederate general, Albert Pike,
had civilized Indians from the Indian
territory fighting under him at Pea
Ridge. After the battle there was many
a man lying dead on the field in blue uni
form who had been scalped. The RED
| Confederates could not rise out of ole
habits. Another drawback would be the
insuperable objection the gallant red mar
has to wearing trousers. If the United
States government can overcome this OBJ
lection, it will effect reform the accom-
plished Col. Cody, with prayers and
tears, and all his magnetic powers OF
persuasion, has never been able to inau
gurate in his Wild West show.

The Sugar Beet Culture.

Should congress pass law giving a
sufficient bounty on the production Of
beet sugar, the industry would be
greatly stimulated and increased In
this country. 1t has been argued that
the United States does not possess the
requisite soil and climate to make
the production Of the sugar beet pro-
fitable; but the evidence of Mr.. OK
nard, Of Nebraska, before the con-
1ressionaI Ways and Means Commit

theory .Mrs O., speaking of our pres-
emit production and Of the future of
this industry, and also of its effects

Flax Growing in the Northwest

Flax Growing in the Northwest.
The Chicago Tribune says that this
country is not suited for the growing of
flax for the fibre, and therefore it is use.
less to put tax on linen goods, as our
farmers would not engage in the raising
of the flax for the fibre, even if the duty
placed on these goods was three times as
great as that proposed by the Mckinley
tariff bill.
In reply to this statement the Mime
apolis Tribune comments as follows
The right climate for the spinning and
weaving of linen is found in large re.
gion, if not everywhere within our broad
domain, and our farmers are not known
to be afraid of work. AS a matter OF
fact, the Northwest is the banner flax re.
gion of the world. Especially Mime.
sofa, the Dakotas, Northern and Central
Iowa and Wisconsin are peculiarly
adapted to this crop. A gentleman just
arrived from Belfast, where he has been
engaged in the linen industry all his
life, regards the Northwest as better
adapted than any other country in the
world to the growing of fax for the
fibre.
Thus far our farmers have paid com.
paratively little attention to this crop;
yet it ranks among the great staples OF
the state. No other crop has grown
more rapidly in Importance. The crops
of wheat, oats, corn, barly, rye an6
potatoes increased by from rs to 100 pei
cent during the last decade; but the
amount of flax seed raised in this state
was qurdrupled in the same period
And the increase has been as steady al
it has been rapid. Obviously, it would
have been greater if the farmers haG
been able to find market for the fibr,
as we'll as for the seed The linen anC
flax schedule of the Republican tariff bill
is in line with what the Northwest needs
and wants 1t is calculated to greatly
stimulate flax culture in this section anc
to encourage the establishment of liner
mills and factories.

Several of the Republican newspa-
pers Of this legislative district are en-
gagged in booming certain candidates
for senator and representatives; in
fact fixing ticket for the people, with
the expectation that they will vote it,
without a why or wherefore. But it
strikes us that these political editors
are little too previous. It Is quite
possible that the people themselves
may take hand in selectiag the men
they wish to vote for, and it would be
well for those gentlemen who are
forming political combinations and
fixing up things" to remember the
words Of the poet Burns:

From our Washington correspond
ent: Senator Squire, of the state of
Washington, has become very popu-
lar In the senate, but he has great
deal on his mind at present. It is
growing more and more manifest
every day, that the Northern Pacific
r. R., one OF the greatest corporations
Of this country, has already made an
organized effort to defeat Senator
Squire for reelection next fall. The
new senator from the state had hard
~ got warm In his seat when the rail-
road corporation made several very
important demands upon him and
the question had to be settled at the
outset whether he would be their
hired man or senator representing
his state. He turned his back upon
the corporation like man, and more
over, like a man big enough and
strong enough and honest enough and
brave enough to defy them all.
There are over 100000 signatures
signed to petitions which are now on
file In the Senate and House, praying
for the passage of the Ingalls, service
pension bill. And yet, there are
democrats in the land who declare
that "the real soldiers" of the war do
not want pensions, and do not ap-
prove of the service pension bill. Tile
fact of the matter Is, that, the ingalls,
service pension bill is one Of the most
popular pension measures ever
framed; is, in fact, more popular than
any pension bill except the "arrears
of pensions bill" which gave the old
soldiers so many millions, when they
most needed 1t. And that bill, too,
was prepared and fought through the
House by Senator Ingalls,.

should be as charming in married
