The president of the Standard Oh

retinue of servants. First comes a man

highness, a cOachman and fOOtman on
the box and fOotman behind, in the
rear another man mounted on horse
acting as a body guard. BY and by, the
populace will be called upon to say;

The outcome of the experiment will be

belt indicate that the crop Of 1890.
though less than that OF last year by
probably T. 600. 900 bushels. is better, as
to quality and yield, than could have
been anticipated in view OF the adverse
conditions under which it has been
grown. Nebraska and the Dakotas will
probably harvest as many bushels as
last year. Iowa will show loss Of
about 9 600, 900 bushels and Minnesota
about 1000 900. The area harvested in
these States is from , to 5 per cent less
than last year, save in Minnesota, where
the acreage harvested is estimated to be
10 per cent greater than shat Of 1889.

AND what will Winship, Goodwin ct al
do now? They have been telling the peo-
pie that the octopus, driven from its ma
tive lair by the righteous Indignation of
the people of Louisiana, would againe
seek a foothold in North Dakota. Of
course they know that, as between the
farmers short of seed wheat, after two or
three crop failures, as they were last
winter, and the farmers nearly sure of
mammoth crop, as they are now, there IS
vast difference. They also know that
two thirds of the Legislators who voted
for the Sandager bill are farmers, and
that none of them are more in love with
lotteries than the. average citizen that
they voted for the bill with knowledge
Of conditions of hardship among their
constituents that will be changed when
the crop Is harvested. They are well
aware Of the fact that when the lottery
bill died it passed away without hope Of
resurrection unless another crop failure
came this year. They knew and they
know these things. But Wlnship and
Goodwin are men of small caliber, men
tally. Nine men in ten you meet from
his section will tell you that. without his
paper to back him, Winshlp's influence in
Grand Forks county would amount to
little. In the senate, last winter, he was
about as much of cipher as any member
of that body. Where the political inter-
ests of his part of the state were con
cerned, he was the dog in the manger
and 1t is almost certain that; but for his
ebstinacy, the Red River Valley would
have secured Senator. AS for Goodwin,
he is So universally disllked that ne one
mentions him for denomination. To such
men the Introduction of the lottery bill
was a godsend, and, regardless Of danger
to the Republican party in the state, they
have played IT for all il was worth. But
in every election since the legislature ad-
journed, where the implacables have
sought fight, they have been defeated.
The latest was the defeat of Mr.. Kelley
Octopus. .Shrieker Coles candidate for
superintendent of schools In Dickey
county. In vain has Gov. Miller tried to
make capital for himself through his ap.
pointment chiefly Of ptohiDitionists.
And now he tells the people Of the state
that the owners OF the Dwight farm won t
let him be governor any more; because
they want him to again act as oversetr Of
their Richland County plantations.
