AckNoNL EocEMENTS

We are indebted to the courtesy of
Gov. Merriam, or the rail road com.
lnissioners for O copy OF the annual
report of the Rail road and Ware
house Commission, for 1889. 1t is a
Very elaborate affair, making book
uf 67l pages, and showing that a great
deal OF work has been done by the
commission; if any body doubts this
statement they can call at THE Sun
rffice and spend Il month or two exam.
lining the detailed reports given. We
TN make no review of so elaborate O
work, but we notice one item of in
terest that should not be lost sight Of
viz, there were bnt two deaths of
passengers on &il the roads in the
state dur!sfg the entire year, while
there were IS deaths of trespaSsers,
This shows the great care taken fol
the safety of the travelling public by
the rail roads; and the great indiffer
cnce shown by travellers te protection
rf their own lives.
We may be able at some future
time to give some more items Of in
terest to our readers from this val
UUble book.

The query among farmers is, what
will become nf us If We don't get rain
soon.
The prospect for good crop this
year is moi very encouraging now,
the ground Is not only dry on the top.
but is dry down to the dehth of four
feet or more. One man dug a hole
four feet deep and it was 80 dry that
the dust raised from every shovel full
of dirt.
Farmers who drilled in their grain
this spring think they have aD adVan-
tage over those that used the broad
cast seeder, and it may be that they
have, but if we have rain within
a week the broad cast seeding will be
all right, hut If we don't get rain soon
there will not be much grain any
where.
man in this vicinity that has just
came from Devils Lake, reports that
the r. RS. are blocked with sand,
and the r. r. Companies are obliged
to hire men with road ScrapeIs to
keep the tack clear; and on windy
days the ar is so full of sand that
men cant be out of doors.
A letter from parties living in
Forman Sergent Co.. Dakota states.
that it is as dry rs it was last spring,
.ot only the soil but the grain has
blown out Of the fields. 1t will be
the same in this part of Minnesota
If We do not get rain very soon, but
the farmers can live very well If they
do loose two nr three years crops, for
there is provisions made for their
support on the poor farm, but what
will become of the poor Bankers and
money loaners if the crops fail in
Dakota and some parts of Minnesota
another year.
Let US not be discouraged, we have
the promise OF seed time and harvest,
we have had the seed time and we
expect a good harvest.

A sNUB EMPHASIZED,
STILL CONSIDERING TARIFF.
THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE MAKES
LITTLE PROGRESS.

il May Be Ready TO Report This Week
The Tin Plate Paragraph Passed Over
Without Action-A Protest From Tobacco
Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Two hours were
spent by the Republican members of the
Senate Finance Committee this morning in
the further consideration of the tariff bill.
The time was devoted to schedule D, wood
and manufactures thereof. Progress was
slow, considerable difference OF opinion
being shown over the rates of duty on timber
at the beginning. There was considerable
discussion upon the general question
OF the tariff upon timber, but the
attitude of the several Senators was not dis
closed. One Of the members of the commit
tee to-day repeated the opinion expressed
Saturday, that the bill would be ready for
report this week. None of the schedules
have been referred to the Democratic mem
bers for their inspection, as there are too
many disputed and unsettled items to make
tnem Of any value TO the minority in pre-
pairing their report
Tne tin plate paragraph, it is understood,
has been passed over without action.
The subcommittee, owing to the necessity
for the presence of Mr.. Allison in the Sem
ate, did very little with the tariff bill this
afternoon. All the Republican members of
the committee will continue the eonsidera-
tion OF the bill tomorrow.
A communication was received TO-DAY by
the committee, through Senator ockbridge,
from the Finecut Tobacco Association, pro-
testing against the proposed increase of the
tax on manufactured tobacco from to
cents pound.

Will be Enacted,

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Major McKin-
ley said this afternoon: "I believe silver
bill will become a law by act oI
this session, although it is not q
sure thing by any means. There
is demand for it from every direction, and
I do not think we ought to adjourn before q
silver bill is passed. The House will de-
vote itself to the measure within few
days. Yes. this will be long session. We
will not adjourn, in my Judgment, till late
9n August.
''The Senate will talk tariff for a whole
month, presume, and it NAV be August be-
fore the tariff bill is finally passed. No. /
don't believe we will pass either Federal or
an anti-gerrymsndering bill. There is strong
objection to all the measures introduced SO
far on those subjects"

SLOW PROGRESS IN TARIFF MATTERS
trRoM A srArT CORRESPONDENT.

n
WASHINGTON, June "A Western Re
publican, who claims that President Har-
rison's persistent snubbing is a sure indica-
i ton that be is not a candidate for re-elec-
ton, said to-day: You recollect that he
snubbed the Duquesne Club, Of Pittsburg?
Yes? Then he snubbed the National Con-
vention of Charities and Corrections, which
met at Baltimore the other day. As clti-
zen of Indianapolis he took an interest in
them, but as President he was too busy to
60 40 miles to see them.
"Confound such rubbish" said the West
erner, with wild Western vigor. "And,
lastly" he continued, "the President, on
his way to Cleveland, deliberately snubbed
the Scotch-Irish Congress then in session at
Pittsburg.
A SEVERE CRITICISM.
>"The Presidential sybarite couldn't stop
off at Pittsburg few hours, forsooth, be-
cause he wanted TO get back home early
and didn't propose to be delayed until II.
He was bound to be at home by9 o'clock,
like a good little boy. No such wicked
hour as midnight for him. No, indeed.
Special trains and other alluring arguments
were rendered him in vain. He deliber-
ately snubbed Pittsburg and the great
Scotch-Irish race"
"But he finally accepted and attended,
didn't he?''
''Yes, be finally accepted and attended;
bat a sullen and ungracious consent is
worse than a courteous and gracious refus-
al. And sthen note the hours Of his attend
- ance. He arrived at Pittsburg at o'clock,
breakfasted and began his reception at the
unheard-ot hour of $50, concluded at $50,
rushed TO the depot, and at 10 was off for
this city. That was a truly royal reception
70 extend to the Scotch-1rish Congress,
wasn't it?"
But it is claimed 5000 people shook
hands with him."
A sNUB EMPHASIZED.
"All the worse. That would be at the rate
of 80 minute, or about one a second, bare
hand touch. A nice hop-skip-and-jump
reception that. 1t only emphasized the
snub."
"How does all this prove to you that the
President is not a candidate for renomina-l
Gon?"
''My friend, do you think for q moment
that the man who received every delegation
that visited him during weary months and
made polite speech iulI of sweet sound, if
of nothing, and never snubbed any of them,
would go into the business now, not casual
ly, but regularly, if he were a candidate
again?'' IIGHTNER.
