ST. PAUL is casting about for some
kind of an attraction to take the place OF
the ice palace, which cannot be longer
depended upon owing to the mildness
of our climate. What they are look
ing for is something to eclipse the
Mardi Gras of New Orleans, the Corn
Palace of Sioux City, the Coal Palace of
Ottumwa, and the hay palace of some
other place. We would suggest that
whatever is decided upon every part of
the state be given plenty of space to adj
vertise itself Mankato would like to
show her resources, for one.

HERE is the verdict passed on Baker
in 1876 by a Democratic committee APP
pointed to investigate David Blakely
and Gen. Bakers connection with the
Chicago Pension office ct the time Miss
Sweet was pension agent, and Gen.
Baker was Commissioner of Pensions
Words fail to set forth the convictions
entertained by this committee of the
-baseness Of this man and his coadjutor,
Baker.
They both pass from the respect OF
all honorable men and take their APP
propriate place in the ranks of swind-
lers and confidence operators.
Blakely holds no place under the
Government, but Baker is now survey
or-general of Minnesota, and this COM
mittee desire to state that no such man
should be allowed to bold Office
under the United States.
This is what the Democratic Congress
thought of Baker in 1876. The Demo
Gratis of the Second district are asked in
1890 to vote to put him in Congress.
How do they like the potion mixed for
them to swallow.

THE Review has the usual number of
columns of Golden Club manufacture of
plated literature on the Mckinley bill
and great brlny tears roll down the
weather beaten cheeks of the hard
working editor as he coptemplates the
enormous reduction of tariff on the rich
farmers binding twine and the increase
on the poor editors dinner pail and cof-
fee pot. 1t is too bad that the poor
farmer should get his binding Irvine for
seven-tenths of one cent that he former
ly paid p cents for, while the poor ID
of a Democratic editor must pay about
the same proportional increase on his
dinner pail or coffee pot. The tinplate
used in the manufacture of either of
these articles sweighs nearly o.; the
duty by the old law would be mills, by
the new law he will paw - mills, but
when it comes down to the little tin cup
nat he drinks from, it will not exceed
half mill and he will still buy dinner
plate and water cup for 5 cents. Be pa

Gently comforted the Sheffield manu-
facturers' indignation meeting by as

take an extra reef in the slack of his
pants for economy's sake.

THE Italian assassins of New Orleans
are rapidly moulding public opinion, if
further examples were needed, against
allowing the continued immigration of
the scum of foreign cities into this coun-
try. Congress should not fail next win
ter to pass bill which shall make it
impossible for these dangerous elements
to land on our shores. The further the
Italian secret assassination societies of
New Orleans are investigated the more
startling is shown to be the growth OF
the tigers whelps that we are nursing

ARE the Democratic farmers sincere
in their desire to better the condition OF
things? If they are how can they vote
for E. g., PAIL, the Democratic candi-
date for Lieut.. Governor? He is a mill
Ter, and as such, however honest bis
motives, he would, if elected, naturally
lean toward the interests in which he is
go largely Identified. AS Lieutenant
Governor, he would be speaker of the
Senate AS such he would have the APP
pointment of all committees, such as
railroad, grain and warehouse, etc., and
these committees could be made up to
suit his wishes regarding legislation. Is
such man the proper individual to
place in position of this kind? Would
the farmer feel that his interest would
be as carefully guarded and honestly
advocated as by man like Hon. q. S.
Ives, the Republican candidate, whose
interests are identified with the produ-
Ger and laborer? If Mr.. Ives is elected
he would arrange his committees with
an eve single to the best interests of ALL
The farmer would have full and fair
representation on every committee, and
he would not be crowded to the rear TO
give place 10 some one,who would play
into the hands of railroads or who would
have an ak to grind in complicating
wheat grades or combining markets to
close corporations. For the farmer there
is no more important Office than Lieu
tenant Governor. and it does not seem
that he will be enhancing his interests
by voting for miller.

FLOWING WITH STICKS.

Tho Primitive Way Peruyians Employ to
Tickle the Earth.
1t would make an honest American
farmer smilo out loud to see the way
the land is plowed by Peruvians.
From six to a dozen teams Of oxen are
put at work in field of twenty or thirty
acres. The oxen are yoked by tying a
heavy beam across their forehead and
in front of the horns. Tothis beam tho
pillow is attached, all the force being
applied by the headinstcad Of the Shout
ders. 80
The pillow is crooked stick or branch
OF tree, the point faced with iron. Pc
ruvians contend that they do not need
to pillow more than two or three inches
deep, simply enough to loosen the soil
so as to enable tie seed to take root.
The water used in irrigating is said to
be rich in plant food, further obviat-
ing the necessity of deep blowing.
Improved piows suitable for this
country are now manufactured in
Europe and the United States, but they
are very different from the plows used
by an. American farmer. They are light
and small, having close resem blance
to the original crooked stick.
Every Peruvian pillow has but one
handle. The driver carries in one hand
a huge goad, twelve or fifteen feet in
length, with which to touch up his
team, and he manages the pillow with
the other hand. The irrigating bitches
must then be connected with the canal
which brings the water from the river
and which traverse the field at dis
lance of three or four feet apart and
six to eight inches deep.
They are SO arranged that the whole
field can be instantly flooded by turn
ing on the water, and every hill of corn
or potatoes or sugar cane will be thor
oughly soaked. OF course, the fields
must slope in the right direction, and II
nature has so made it the level i re-
duced sufficiently before it lis plowed. =
