IL was announced with quite a
fiOrish of trumpets a week ago that
the capitalists of ST. Paul and Min
neapolis had opened their big hearts
and bought 100000 bushels of seed
wheat to be distributed among the
destitute farmers of the DakOtas.
But when the wheat came to hand
the eyes of the Dakotans blazed with
unmixed wrath when they discovered
that the condition of the gift" was
that they should pay 25 cts. per bushel
more than the wheat was worth, and
II per cent as on so much money
loaned with a lien ON their crops foT
the cash in eight months The farm
ers swear rather than submit to such
extortion they will SOW no wheat, and
see how the gOuging millers of ST.
Anthony's falls will relish that.

The Republicans in Iowa are in a
sore perpleXity over the Democratic
liquor bill now before the legislature
of that state. They know that prohi-
bitiOn in Iowa has been a failure and
would like to see the Democratic
license bill pass, but they also know
that the prohibition party is strong in
Iowa and has hitherto voted manfully
with the Republicans, and if the latter
show the least favor to the Democratic
measure, the whole prohibition vote
will desert Republicanism and the G.
o. p. in Iowa goes up. The Democratic
bill provides that if the residents of
any city or town vote for license at a
special election, held on the petition
of two-ffths of the voters, the Dis
trict Court of the county shall grant
license to any applicant whose char
acter and citizenship are vouched for
by the residents OF such city or town,
after two weeks notice, by publ
cation, has been given of the appli-
cation. The license fee is fixed at not
less than $500 per annum, which shall
go to the county, and any sum over
that fixed by the municipality shall
60 into its treasury. The District
Court is empowered to grant permit
to druggists to sell liquor for medi-
cinal, mechanical or chemical pur-

a curious letter appears in the New
York Herald of the 9th from the
noted reconstructed rebel General
Longstreet. He appears to be at outs
with the present administration and
gives the reasons why. He says away
back, before the inauguration, on Har-
risop's invitation he visited him at In
dianapolis to confer in regard to po-
litical matters at the south. Long
street told the president that the rea-
son why there was no republican
party in the south was because the or
ganization was wholly in the hands Of
a band of carpet-baggers and scaley
negro politicians who kept the party
just about small enough to take in al !
the offices. His advice was to cut
loose from the carpet-baggers and ne
grOes and organize white mans re-
publican party; and if the work was
done on plan suggested by General
LOngstreet, he would guarantee be-
fore next election there should be six
republican states south of Mason and
Dixon's line. The president seemed
to fall into the idea heartily, and after
the inauguration again invited Long
street to visit him, which he L.) did,
and plan of campaign was apparently
agreed on, but since then the presi-
dent has gone wholly back on the
white republicans at the south, and
of course they are no longer with
him.

BUDDHISM IN PARIS.
1t Has 10000 Disciples and It's
Feature is Fanaticism.

IL has oO,OOO DISCIPLES ana Its
Feature is Fanaticism.
1t was recently stated that extraordinary
progress was being made by Buddhist doc
trines in Vienna and other towns of Central
Europe, says the London Telegraph. 1t is
now said that decided move in this direc-
ton is taking place in Paris. This phenom-
enon is probably to be accounted for by the
fact that people who have discarded chris
tianity find themselves unable to get on
after time without some kind of religion
or philosophy, and so turn their attention
to any new thing in the hope of filling I'D
the vacuum. M. Leon de Rosny, one OF the
most popular of the Sorbonne professors,
has been lecturipg recently on Buddhism,
and he says he could never have imagined
that it could have taken root in France as
it has done. He Is of opinion that the
growing favor in which it is held is due to
the fact that. far from being in conflict
with modern science, it really contains the
principles of the truths expounded by our
savants. Its disciples are most enthusiastic,
and herein lies danger. for they complicate
Buddha's pure philosophy with variety of
supernatural theories and dabble in spirit
ualism, hypnotism, and other uncanny
practices in the forefront of which magic
may he placed; but NJ Leon de Rosny de-
clares that the leaders of the movement
deplore this diversion, which is at variance
with Buddhist doctrines, and proclaim
that they have absolutely nothing
TO do with the occult Sciences He fears,
however, that the most ridiculous extrav-
agances will be INDUCED in, as no conception
can be formed of the amount of fanaticism
which is a special feature of the new school.
Every day he receives visits from dis
tinguished persons who affirm that they are
thorough-going Buddhists, and one of them
has just asserted that he has at least sc. 900
co-religionists in Paris. The vice president
of the academy of medicine has entered
their ranks, and the captain of French
frlgate who returned from a cruise in
Chinese waters lately says that one-third of
his crew have embraced the doctrines of
Buddha.
