The secretary of agriculture in his an

agricultural affairs, indicating the obvi-

that without ignoring the effects of natu-

dent that the economic legislation of the
last session of Congress has directly ben
Gifted the farmers; the improved value OF
cereals, as he believes, being largely due
to the silver legislation which, moreover
has lessened the influence of Russia and
India, our wheat competitors, in British
markets.

only hope left them. They have made
a gallant fight, and would prefer to go

probably practical wisdom to retreat a
little, if it Will give them chance tore
gain the ground at the end of the fight.
If they have forced the lottery to agree
to abide the result of an actual vote of
the white men of the state, it is posi-
BILE that the rural districts may save

If a majority is against the lottery, it is
pledged to withdraw its offer, in view

it would not be legally bound. 1t
might charge fraud in the voting or
perpetrate fraud itself. This submits

PICKING AT UNCLE JERRY.

Uncle JERRY RUsK is conceded to be
man anxious to make his department
of the administration conspicuous. and
different from what he found it. He
was not very familiar with red tape
usages when he went to Washington,
and attempted to be unduly 6ociable
with the public. This drew upon him
reproving glanees from his associates.
His monthly reports, too, made him
some discomfort. His latest exploit, as
reported, is sending by mail to his farm
in Wisconsin seventy-two bushels of
government seeds. Perhaps he will not
use them all on his own farm. lie has
neighbors. There is nothing in this
very unusual in those who administer

him is that of the Commercial Bulletin,

uses his Official opportunities to sub

bert, commissioner for East Africa,
described Germany's military situation
in Africa as brilliant. He announced
that Baron Wissmann would assume
the administration of the German pos
sessions in that country. Prof. Fabi
made a speech. in which he criticized
severely the Anglo-German agreement
regarding African territory, particu
Iary the ceSSiOn of Zanzibar to
England and the failure by that
county to agree to cede Walfieh
bay to Germany. Prof. Fabi predicted
that severe economic struggle would
ensue which would result in "a victory
for Germany. Herr Vohsen said he re-
GREETED that the agreement had been
made. but held that Zanzibar was not
as valuable possession for the British
as was supposed, as Germany could
paralyze commerce, thereby diverting
trade into new channel. Resolutions
were adopted thanking Baron Wiss-
mann, the government and the reichStag
for their efforts for the suppression Of
slavery, regretting the conclusion of the
AnglO-German agreement. and express

LOOKING AHEAD.

In the way of new states this admin
istration will evidently break the record.
There has been but one decade in the
history of the country when six states
were admitted. That number will be
reached in the twelve months ending
with this session of congress. Four
came in last year, and now Wyoming
is in, and Idaho soon will be. 1t is
highly probable that New Mexico and
Arizona will be admitted before the next
presidential election, leaving Utah to
wait out till MormoniSm has dropped
out of politics. There will still be ter
ritories that will grow into states occa-
sionally. Oklahoma will be the first, no
doubt. The Indian territory will in
time be asking admission, and Alaska
may in the progress of development
have the population for several states.
This is not an early probability. The
information from that vast region is not
suggestive of booms, but the coming
millions are quite as likely to possess it
as they were to occupy the region of
several of the new states generation
ago. DANIEL WEBSTER was not a
small or narrow man; and yet, when it
was proposed to establish mail route
from Missouri to the mouth of the Col
umbia river, he said in the senate:
What do we want with the vast,
worthless area? This region of savages
and wild beasts, of deserts. of shifting
sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus
and prairie dogs? 70 what use could
we ever hope TO put these great deserts,
or those endless mountain ranges, i'm
penetrable and covered to their base
with eternal snow? What can we ever
hope to do with the western coast-a
coast of 5000 miles, rock-bound. cheer
less and uninviting, and not harbor on
1t? What use have we for such coun-
try? Mr.. President, will never vote
one cent from the public treasury to
place the Pacific coast one inch nearer
to Boston than it now is.
DWith all his greatness, DANIEL could
not see very far West. His city of Bos-
ton has been one of the largest forces in
developing that region into prosperous
states. 1t is not much easier to see
forty or fifty years ahead now than it
was in WEBsTER's time. The only safe
prediction is that there will be stop
when there is no more room.

POOLING THE FARMERS.

To the Editor of the Globe.
PERHAM. Mimi, June SOL am an
alliance farmer. | can see the drift of
atfairs-that is, that MERRIAM will con-
troll the alliance convention through
Mr.. DONNELI.Y andone or two other pol
iticians, and receive their Endorsement.
HOPED to vote for an honest alliance
ticket, honestly nominated by them.
/ have always voted the Republican
ticket heretofore, but if the alliance IN
dorSes MERRIAM the Democrats shall
have nv vote. and voice the sentiment
of several of my immediate neighborS.
The farmers are being fooled, as usual;
but this time they will not fool the sub
scriber. Il. E. EDWARDS.
Spoken like an honest man. This is
a time when every citizen must think
and act for himself. And those who
think alike must act together.
AS the GLOBE has previously iuti-
mated, we had knowledge that a quiet
effort was being made by the Republic
ans to buy the alliance convention; but
we have not believed that the scheme
would succeed, for the simple reason
that the farmers were unpurchasable.
If we are mistaken in this opinion, how
ever, and our correspondent is right, so
much the worse for the alliance Or
ganization. If the Doodle programme
should succeed, that will not deter the
unpurchasable element which forms
the bulk of the alliance from doing as
these Perham farmers propose TO do,
demonstrate their independence by vot-
ing the Democratic ticket.
AS matter of fact, the most sensible
thing the farmers Of Minnesota can do
is to vote the Democratic ticket straight.
Democratic principles are better fitted
to agricultural interests than the high
tariff principles which the Republicans
put into practice.
Mr.. LINCOLN once said to one of his
generals, when asked for an opinion of
the latter's military operations: You
are HI on dress parade, general, but in
action you are not worth pinch of
snuff" 1t is about so with Gov. MER-
RAMS tariff reform campaign. He is a
glittering tariff reformer on dress pa
rade, where the tariff cuts no figure. yet
he favors the e-election of all the con-
gressmen who voted for the MCKINLEY
bill. And if he were in congress he
would vote for it himself. The kind of
a candidate the farmers want is tariff
retormer who will be loyal to the cause
in the fierceSt contest.
