An effort was made in the Senate last
week by Senators Davis, Washburn and
Allison to have the duty increased on
flax. 1t failed, however, owing TO the
opposition of eastern senators, who
could not see the consistency of having
a high duty on flax and at the same
Of removing the duty on binding Irvine.
These eastern senators ought to come
out west and learn few things. A
little knowledge is dangerous thing
and especially is it SO in their case. They
turn their attention exclusively to the
growth and conditions of the east and
neglect altogether too much to post up
on the rapidly developing west.

And now that grand old Republican
senator, John Sherman, of Ohio, has
swung into line in favor of reciprocity.
With Blaine, Sherman, Edmunds, Hale,
Allison, Aldrich, Davis and such real
statesmen, fighting with all their might
to bring about free and reciprocal
trade relations between the countries
of North and South America, it would
surely seem as if something might be
done to change the Mckinley bill so as
to conform to western ideas. Mr.. Nc
Kinley had better commence to make
himself popular by climbing into the
band wagon which is playing recirroc-
ity music.

j. j. Hill may be railroad man, but
he is generous and liberal for all that.
Last week he gave million dollars for
the purpose of founding theological
seminary in St. Paul. Such acts, when
performed in the right spirit, always
stand to mans credit.
Go to the caucus next Monday night
and, if you have anything to say. say
it. Don't allow one man to do all the
talking and all the voting. One man
has just as much right as another to air
his opinions on such an occasion, and
we believe it is his duty to make him
self heard.
Tie Republican conventions of the
five congressional districts have all
been held, and, as good Republican
sense would have it, the old members
have all been renominated. They will
go before the people, each and all of
them, with good records, and they will
be elected. Minnesota Republicans
cannot afford to cast aside such good
working force to put in its place di-
vided one Of antagonistic Democrats
and Republicans who cannot work to-
gether.

Pine Cows a Product OF Art


IL seems to have quite fallen out Il re-

except remotely, AID certainly Sas not ca
dable Of yielding any surplus milk for
human needs beyond the requirements Of
Der offspring How great the change is
Aith our best improved modern dairy cows,
from the primitive COW can hardly at frs;
be comprehended. This change has been
extremely gradual. and yet it is safe to
say that long - the coz has been do
concentrated, the larger part Of this gain
has been made in very recent times-in
fact, within the current century. An in
telligent writer has called attention to the
matter and to its present practical connec-
ions, 10 the follo~ing sensible remarks
This is something of practical importance.
IL is easy to fall into belief that the milk
yield of the COW is somthing given out Of
pure natural COW generosity. All careless
abuse of COW by it's owner, If the owner
be at all careful for profit, mus,
spring from such an impression. I,
will pay to remember that the comfort
Of the COW has more than her generosity to
do with our milk supply. 1t is because OF
this fac, that many things which seem
tr,hing have an effect, either for good oil
bad. upon both quantity and quality, mo-
only Immediately but remotely. Brighten
log or hurrying the cows, harsh treatment
pain, hunger, cold, fear. disappointment

The Democrats In Congress are re
ported rs determined to resort to every
possible policy of obstruction In order
to prevent the consideration of the con
tested election eases ou the floor of the
House. The first case is the one from
the Fourth West Virginia district. Here
the Republican, candidate received a clear
majority OF the votes cast and 1t was so
stated on the returns The Democratic
Governor was man whose party zeal
outweighed his honesty. He chose to
consider the word 1.-TWO" as an abbreI
alton for "twelve" aud upon this ground
gave the certificate of election to the de-
feated candidate. \ more outrageous
instance of bare faced ,unblushing kuave-
ry is not to be found 10 our whole p0lit-
zeal history. 1t would seem - II no
man with any sense OF honor aud ieeen-
cy could fall TO condemn it, yet the out
look is that the Democrats in Con-
gress will choose almost to man
that in West Virginia at least. there Is
no such word as tive" that il is only
an ahbreviatiou for twelve" 1t is truly
remarkable what an elastic article the
conscience of Democratic politician
soon becomes. 1t is capable of any aud
every stretch that party exigeueies NAV
seem to require But public opinion is
fairer tribunal, 1t will try these cases
upon their merits, and we should be
surprised indeed if it should decide that
the word 1.-TWO" could by any possibility
mean twelve"

One cannot learn too much about dairy
ing. There are many details, and it is
very easy to make a mistake. The best
dairymen succeed only by giving the bus
mess close attention and study. Each in

observance Of every requirement.
