Support Them Men!

The following letter we take the
liberty to publish just as it is, and we
ask all our friends to pitch into the
work most earnestly:
GLENDoRADo, Benton Co. MINI.
EDITOR GREAT West:
I do not know much about the
men nominated for county officers,
only they have all identified them
selves with the farmers movement !:
E. S. Hall, OF Sank Rapids, is the
man nominated for Representative.
He is a farmer, and is President of
our County Alliance. So far as
know he is a radical alliance man
and think he is q subscriber to the
GREAT WEST. He is man respected
by everybody who knows him.
l hope the G. w. will speak the
truth as fearlessly in the future, as it
has done in the past. The truth
must be spoken even if we shall speak
it in the front of a Calling gun.

National President L. L. Polk,
made fortune out of his trip to
Winfield to address his alliance
brethren. We will say that when he
was asked by the management of the
assembly what he charged for his
services, he replied nothing. They in
turn said that does not suit us, and
will make you present of $50.
President Polk replied "Then 1 will
make this assembly a present Of
$780," Thus, gentle reader, we find
our noble president charitable, with
heart full of zeal and true patrio-
tism for his fellow man. Western

CDR. Fish, of the GREAT WEST, has
got the Review mixed up with Geo.

carloads of lumber. We have looked
over our files and failed to find any,
thing that we have ever said on that
subject, and concluded that the DR..
has given the Review credit for what
he has found in some other paper.

No, it was not in the Review-it
was reference to personal knowl-

Norman Co. Herald:

Norman Co. Herald:
The writer is not in sympathy with
an editorial which appeared in the
Herald during his absence, in which
Mr.. Donnelly is spoken OF as a trail
tor to the Alliance, which had start
ed out with gigantic strides" and
was sold out by him. We think the
article was written under a misappre-
tension of facts. Mr.. Donnelly is
and has been the butt of numberless
slurs and cheap ridicule by almost
the entire old party press. We be-
lieye most of this is to appeal to
ignorance and prejudice, rather than
to fact and reason. We are glad to
note that the Prohibition Press mas
far as we are able to Judge has not
stopped to this method of warfare.
We believe Mr.. Donnelly has made
mistakes. We can hardly excuse his
campaigning for Merriam, but for all
that we believe in his course all
through he has had the interests of
the laboring men at heart. His
voice upon the stump and in the
legislative halls has always been for
the people and against the corpora
tons. While most state politicians
who have been in public life as long
as he has, are now numbered among
the millionaires Mr.. Donnelly is still
among the poor. There should be
warm place in the heart of every farm
er rand laboring man for Mr.. Donnelly.

law OF UQo ATTORNEY OeuerdI W pre-
pare a synopsis of all amendments
proposed to the constitution, notice
is hereby given, that by chapter one
~ of the General Laws of 1889, the
following amendment is submitted
to the voters of the State of Mime
sofa, to be voted upon at the general
election to be held in the year 1890:
CHAPTER l.
An act proposing an amendment to
section four a. ofarticle one %
of the Constitution of the State
OfMiDneSOta.
SECTION /. The following am
endment to section four az Of arti-
Gle one a. of the Constitution of the
State of Minnesota, is hereby pro-
posed to the people of said State for
their approval or rejection, that is to
say to add at the end of said section
the following paragraph:
''And the Legislature may provide
that the agreement of five-sixths
(5-6) of any jury in any civil action
or proceeding, after not less than six
(6) hours elaboration shall be a sui
ficient verdict therein"
Section four az of article one o.
of the constitution of the State Of
Minnesota, now reads as follow:
'SEC. 4. The right of trial by Jury
shall remain inviolate. and shall ex-
tend to all cases at law without re-
gard to the amount in controversy,
but a jury trial may be waived by the
parties in all cases in manner pre-
scribed by law
Under the law as it now stands, it is
necessary for the entire twelve COM
posing the jury to agree upon ver-
dict. The effect OF the proposed am
endment, if adopted, would be to au-
thorize the Legislature to pass law
by which a verdict could be reached
after six hours elaboration, upon an
agreement of five-sixths 500, or ten
members of the jury.
The ballots to be used in voting
upon this amendment should have
printed or written, or partly printed
and partly written thereon amend
ment to Article One (D OF the Consti-
tuition providing for five-sixths (5-6)
jury verdict in civil actions, YES-NO."I
Those wishing to vote in favor Of
said amendment are required to
scratch out the word mo" and
those wishing to- vote against said
said amendment are required to
scratch out the word eyes"
A. C. Serum. of Jackson county,
who was here last summer collecting
statistics of mortgaged Indebtedness,
reports the number of mortgages
fled in the counties named during
the past ten years as follows:
Martin, 3,1OO; jackson, 1900; No
bles, 5000, Watonwan, 900; Pipe
stone, 1900; Cottonwood, 1900;
Rock, 1900; Faribault, 1900.
These figures, it should be borne in
mind, show the number of mortgages
filed from 1880 to 1890, and give no
idea Of the number now on file as no
account is given of the number of
mortgages satisfed.-Luverne Her

A Pi-Sorter.

A French printer, according to Les
Archires dc FImprimerie, has invented
a little machine which he terms 4 .'pi-
sorter." 1t consists of a wooden box
about the size of u filing box, having a
steel top, through the center of which
le~ngthwise runs a groove smooth
on one side, but notched on
the other, according to the
various sizes Of the type bodies.
The operator places a handful of type,
leads. etc., OH the plate and pushes
them II by one, either end first, along
the groove. Naturally, when the type
reaches its corresponding slot it stops
by Il slight pressure on the button, the
bottom OF the groove is opened and
the type drops.
There is also a larger opening for
broken type, ETC., at one end of the
groove, through which it falls into q;
special drawer. The cost Of this sor-
ter is inconsiderable, and it seems
qualified to render most valuable
services in keeping the cases free
from wrong letters.-Paper and Press.

The Storm Is Brewing.

The fact that tariff reform sentiment
is rapidly growing in the West is evil
denced by the change of front of such
Republican papers us the Topeka Capt.
tai, Omaha Bee and st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The Capital declares that
the only way to stop Mr.. Cleveland's
popularity is to reduce the tariff lower
than the average of the Mills bill
and they all favor as a compromise j
schedule which will be II per cent
lower than the bill proposed by the
''arrant free trader" from Texas.
The Omaha Bee which is the ablest
and most extensively circulated Re-
publican newspaper in Nebraska sees
the hand writing OF the wall and fully
appreciates the fact that the farmers
are preparing to revolt and sweep the
Republican party out of power. After
calling attention to the numerous
schemes against the treasury which
are supported by powerful influences.
it says: 'If only Il few OF them spc-
coed the government will need everv
dollar to be obtained from present
sources of revenue to meet the add.
tional demands upon it. At a time
when general depression suggests 10.
t%renchment and economy, or at any
rate urges that there should be no x
t%raordinary additions to the ~expenses
of the government, congress is being
pressed with schemes which would
compel the continuance for years TO
come of the oppressive drain upsp the
industry and II of tho peopl.
The responsibility for the result will
rest upon the Republican party. and
it cannot afford to disregard the conn
sci of such clear headed and candid
men as Mr.. Butterworth."
Truly, q great storm is brewing ont
West, and the prospect is that sever
al Democratic Congressman will he
elected from Kansas and Nebraska
next November.

WHAT is difgsiOnf

Diffusion is q word which rs often
used from come time as,d weape sure
that manyreople are anxious' to be ex-
actly informed ABOUT ti,is mysterious
diffusion. We intend to try to satisfy
this legitimate anxiety
Formerly. yet presently, the juice
which contains the sugar wasextracted
from cane by the means Of rellers.
By this process. regarded nowadays,
by the chemiists, as u barbarous one,
we lost in fac bagasse sasout the half
of the sugar the cane contained. To-
day, by the diffusion process. we
reach the maximum Of extraction.
This process is easy to understand.
If we put in contact one hundred
pounds of canes, communicated by
proper %apparati in small pieces, called
chips, and one hundred pounds of
water, the half of the sugar of thecchiEs
will dissolve Isl water. If we replace
this water loaded with sacckarine mat
ter by fresh water, this fresh water viii
dissolve again, one half of the sugar
remaining in the Chips, that is to- say,
one fourth oft, and there will remain
in the chips only one fourth of the total
sugar. In repeating several tin,es this
operation, it wall occur that the guam
tity of sugar left in the chips will be
infinitely small.
The wasllings of the chips are used
successfully to wash new canes. So.
the first washing, in passing through
new chips, will take - 3-4, rs, i5-16
&c, of the total sugar. After seven
or eight operations the diffusion juice
will reach the same degree of concen-
tration as the juice obtained directly
from cane by washing. The second
washing will take en- its turn IA, 3-S.
5-S, rs &c, until it will have a o II
centratien nearing that of the Juice of
the cane. The same thing will occur
for all the waters which will have
been used to exhaust the first charge
of canes.
Practically Il or IS hermetically
closed kettles arc used. They are
connected by pipes provided with
valves which a interrupt or estab-
fish communication between them.
All these kettles, called diffusion cells,
are filled up with chips. Water is in
troduced in the first cell and diffusion
is performed in ten minutes. This
water is then passed in the second cell
and successfully in all the cells until
sufficient concentration is reached.
When water coming from one Of the
cells does not contain any sugar. the
cell is emrtied and retilled with new
chips. The diffusion juice is treated
by the ordinary processes of our re-
tineries.-St. Martin RereiUe.

The Country Newspaper.

1t isAtlre habitof q good many people
and OF some ever-smart city news
papers to speak slightingly Of the
country newspaper. There is a large
stock Of old jokes constantly going
the rounds tending to ridkule and
belitte the weekly periodical which
is the nlsuthpiece aud organ of the
county-ssats and smaller cities and
villages. The usual drift of such hui
NOR is te show the supposed poverty
greenness and lack of ability and dig
nifty of the country editor. OF course
there ave country newspapers and
country newspapers, and country
editors and country editors. Some
are good, some bad aud some indiffer-
mt. They differ as much as city pa
pels and city editors. But our Oh
servation teaches us that the country
newspapers and country editors will
average up well with all the other
business institutions and business men
of their respective localities. A thirty
ing country locality will always be
represented by Il neat, tidy, bright
and able country newspaper. A shift
less locality will often be represented
by d shiftless paper, but in most
cases the paper is far ahead of its sur
Observation-Disclosures Tribune Star.
