1 ALREADY are the politicians talking
presidential possibilities, and great
number on the Republican side OF the
house are talking Blaine as the only
man who can be elected. Harrison
friends believe-at least they saw that
they believe-that he is justly entitled
to another term, and should get it. Or
course nomination does not by any
means, insure ones election, and the
Republican party will find that out too,
no matter who they put up. Harrlson's
policy has been very weakened one,
and he has therefore alienated large
number OF influential politicians. His
total disregard for civil service law has
also cost him many friends who We're
anxious to see him live up to the spirit
of the law as ex-President Cleveland
did. Again the disposition of the
national committee to hold the conven-
tion in some western city is all likely to
cost the president many votes. Blaine
of course is ambitious to become presl-
dent, and will, in the event Of his NOM
ination, have to contend with almost
the same opposition in his party that
fought him when Cleveland was elect
ed. Altogether, the Republican party
have "hard row of stumps' before
them.

PEOPLE who violate the game laws
of the state of Minnesota may expect
to get severely punished if caught.
Game Warden Stetson has deputies in
every town and village in the state to
see that the law is enforced, and hun
tiers must be careful to kill only those
birds and animals that are in season.
Heretofore this game law has been a
dead letter practically, but the game
association has the matter in charge
now, and will do all they can to pre-
vent the indiscriminate killing of birds.

OUR FARMERS In LUCK.

The harvest time is with US, and the
reaper and the thresher are heard In the
land. Reports from all parts of the great
Northwest bring the glad news OF the
best crops ever harvested there. With
the exception of few places in the d.
kotas, the crops escaped damage by hail,
and OF course the farmers are very
happy IN consequence. Though the
spring was little late. there was suf6-
Gent rains all during the summer to
bring out the crop IN good shape. The
season was not too warm, being just
right for wheat, barley and oats. OF
course it was little cold For corn, but
our farmers in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas do not plant much corn; barely
enough to meet their own wants. OF
course there are many of them who 80
into corn raising on large scale, but as
a rule they do not plant much. Wheat,
barley and rye are our favorite cereals.
and We are glad to be able to tell the
people OF the Northwest chat the har-
vest has been a bountiful one indeed.
Wheat In many places has averaged as
high as 50 bushels to the acre. But the
crop situation in Europe is very differ
emit. In many places the wheat and rye
crops are total failure. For tile bene-
fit of our readers we will here quote
from an article prepared by William E.
Bear. the London correspondent of
Bradstreets, on the production and need
OF wheat in some European countries:
''With respect to Russia, the most con-

but there is no doubt that the wheat
crop is a bad failure in many parts of

THERE is going to be some lively
work in the manufacturing of sugar
this year. According to the complete
returns received by the commissioner Of
internal revenue of applications under
the bounty act. We are inclined to be-
]ieve that the bounty fund will have all
it can do to meet it's bills. The COM
missioner has been notified that 1928
sugar manufacturers intend to make
maple sugar, and they estimate their
production at 100000 pounds; sugar
cane manufacturers to the number of
1872 will make sugar from cane and es-
innate the production at 566, 62S, 700
pounds; eight manufacturers will make
sugar from beets and their production
they estimate at 29,2l0,O00 pounds,
while six persons will ccake sugar from
sorghum, the production OF which thew
estimate at $500, 600 pounds, or total
of 696, 333, 700 pounds Of sugar from all
sources, upon which, under the bounty
act, in case the sugar produced contains
80 per cent of pure sugar, bounty of 2
cents per pound will be paid by the
government. Of course these figures
are too high, but may be nearly correct,
though We believe the quality will fall
short some 10 per cent.

THE MILWAUKEE, TRACKS.

M1nneapOE5 people are Wucu lu1eI-
ested in the question of bridging or low
ering the Milwaukee railroad tracks.
This is very important question and
should not be settled in day. The
longer such a subject is discussed. pro-
viding it is not discussed too long, she
better FOR all parties concerned. One
thing is certain, and that is that some
thing must be done to protect the pub
lie from being killed off by this death
trap. This road CROSSES some 60 streets
inside Of the city limits, and its trans
run as high as 80 miles an hour, 1t is
but short time since the Great North
ern and ST. Louis roads were forced to
put their tracks down On Fourth avenue
north, and there is no reason why the
Milwaukee road should not be obliged
to do as much. The road, Of course,
objects strongly to doing anything, but
the time has come when they must
either lower their tracks or change their
route. The City has put on It's war
paint and is determined to have the
question settled. II the company would
consent to take the river bank route to
it's shops in South Minneapolis, and va
cate It's Hastings and Dakota tracks
through the Eighth ward, the courts
would be saved much trouble. The
conference held Tuesday by the city as
torney, city engineer and some Of the
representatives of the road, indicated a
desire on the part of the road to do what
it could towards making everything sat-
isfactor7. The aldermen were opposed
to the continuing of the present dangers
to life !, nd limb any longer. The city
engineer Favored the raising of the
tracks. particularly the Hastings and
Dakota branch, but Aid. Grimes ex-
pressed the sentiments of the people of
the eighth ward when he said, that they
would never permit that. All must adj
nit that as long as the road runs over
it's present line, South Minneapolis will
be but fourth-class place to live in.
One thing is certain, these cross-street
cracks must be put down or taken away.
We are opposed to the raising of them.
The city is being damaged thousands Of
dollars every year because of these tracks
and new that the question has come up
let us keep it up until settled. The
Eighth ward people would be glad to
see that Hastings aud Dakota line pulled
up entirely. But they do not want to
ipjure the road. We all have the warm
est feelings possible for the Milwaukee
road, but we cannot allow that or any
other road to run across our main streets
at will. Minneapolis has grown to be a
large city, and therefore more safe
guards must be thrown around her citi-
zens. The longer this matter is left un-
settled the more difficult it will be of
solution as time goes on. We are glad
to see the officials of the road show q
disposition TO meet the city half way,
and try and settle this difficult problem
outside the courts. In few days the
general manager and other officials of
the road will meet with the oity's repre-
sentatives and talk matters over.

THE Minneapolis base ball club is a
thing of the past so far as Hach & Har-
rington are concerned. The disband-
ment of the team came like thief Ill
the night, and was surprise to large
circle Of tall cranks. Hach. of course
in giving his reasons for the clubs col
lapse, lays the blame on the city; that
Minneapolis did not patronize the ball
park as it should, and there was moth
ing 70; him to do but quit. The trou-
BILE was with Hach and not the city.
Hach knows we'll that Minneapolis is
the best ball town in the country, but
he could not except people to ell up
every seat in the grand stand, to see
fourth-class games played. Hach
broke the teams back when he sold
Shugart, and the patrons of the ball
park saw his little game and wisely
paid him back in his own coin. 1t is to
be hoped that he will never again have
the opportunity of filing his pockets at
the city's expense. He is a fraud from
a base ball standpoint.

HERE is what a special from Wash
ington, August s, has to say about
Senator Moody's recent visit to the ma
tional capital: 'Ex-Senator Moody, Of
South Dakota, is in Washington again.
There is no longer any doubt but that
Moody is after the circuit judgesbip.
Is is said by friends of his here that he
will go to Cape May to consult with
President Harrison about this iudgeship
prize. Those who know the situation
predict that he will defeat Judge San
born, of st. Paul, for this place. He is
credited with having big pull with the
President, owing to the fact that he was
formerly a resident of Indiana and a
staunch friend Of the administration as
we'll as being closely intimate with the
chief executive.' President Harrison
is without doubt very partial to the
men he met before he became chief ex-
ecutive of the nation. One can hardly
blame him for being so, but his course
in this particular will cost him more
votes IN the convention q year hence
than will Ayers candidacy. Harrison
has been working tor himself ever since
he went to Wash ington, and is to-day
as active in his own behalf as any man
could possibly be. He did not leave a
Democrat in Office where he thought
the appointment Of a Republican would
strengthen him. He has walked ali
over the civil service commission and
its rules. and has made appointments
and removals at will without regard to
civil service rules. II President Har.
rison expects to gather in re-nomina-
ton on this record we hope he will be
disappointed. Civil service has been
nothing but q farce since he became
president.

mission has every reason to congratu-
late itself on the sale of $250,0OO of Al
bonds at par, when they consider how
close the money market is. Even Bos.
ton with its great financial record could
not sell any of its bonds offered for sale
short time ago. This sale shows what
the moneyed men Of the East think
of Minneapolis. No doubt our city,

much better in the opinion of Eastern
capitalists than do Eastern cities, and

MATTERS are considerably mixed IN
Chilli, but the insurgents must soon sur
render as will be seen from the follow
ing interview given in Washington
few days ago bv A. j. Daugherty. con-
sui at Calico, Peru, who recently came
from that country: "The present war
in Chill is the most ridiculous revolu-
tion I ever knew or read Of. 1t does not
deserve the name Of revolution. Bal
maceda has force of 10000 men at his
command, and the insurgents have
1000. Between these two capitals of
the opposing forces--Santiago and
Iquivue-is mountain range that is
simply impossible by any armed force.
There is absolutely nothing upon this
barren range Of rugged mountains to
sustain an army, ana 1t is impossible to
carry across it that which is necessary
to sustain an army. The insurgents
know this and will not attempt it.
They have no boats with which to carrv
by sea, and if they had they would soon
be destroyed, for Balmaceda has the
whole coast protected by torpedo boats,
Balmaceda is we'll supplied with num-
tions of war and goes on with his gov
eminent. ignoring the existence Of the
Insurgents. In the meantime. while
opposing the party in power, the insur-
gents are living we'll and seem to be
prospecting. They occupy rich districts
of Tarapaca. with its boundless quaint
ties of nitrates, a territory Chill, years
ago, wrested from Peru. The revenues
derived from these nitrate beds are
turned toward keeping the insurgents. :"
They will soon get tired living that
way, and the sooner the better.

A Goner This Time.

Although the first fire since June I'd,
the department promptly answered the
alarmWednesday afternoon. The old barn
south of the track, which has caused so
much trouble in the past, wal again an
object of undoubted incendiarism. The
wind was blowing a gale and at first it
looked doubtful for the safety of the
house situated on the same lot, east of
the barn, but the fremen soon banished
this fear. Near the barn and to the east
is a grove in which is a tall growth of
grass. Around this grove is a board
fence which was kept wet by the chemi-
cal, and the hay stacks near by, as we'll
as the prairie. was saved by the same
method. In about fifteen minutes from
the time the alarm was turned in the fire
was a smouldering ruin. The depart
ment again demonstrated it's effective
ness. AS the hook and ladder truck was
leaving the engine house, Fireman
Kuntz missed his hold in trying to get
on and barely escaped being run over,
receiving some severe bruises. The barn
is owned by Sarah johnson of Cincin-
natl and there could be no object in fir
ing the old she'll, beyond criminal in
