HERE is the opinion of the
editor of the UNION with reference
to the big convention idea, as pub
lished in the Minneapolis Journal
of the 10Th inst:
I believe in big convention. Think
the better way would be to allow each
organized county in the State two or
three delegates at large and one dele
for every 400 Republican votes or
major fraction thereof. That would
give the small counties that give Re-
publican majorities a better show. A
vote is vote in Ramsey or Cook, but
it is majorities that count, and the big
counties are generally Democratic-S
Louis is an exception. Let me illus
trate, Ramsey gave Merriam 1856 votes
last fall, and on the basis of delegate
for each 100 votes she would be en-
titled to so delegates. Thus Ramsey,
with a Democratic majority of 5000,
would be entitled to as many delegates
as a score OF Republican counties
like Sherburne, Isanti and Mile Laos.
No, don't apportion delegates on the
100 vote basis. Give each organized
county say three delegates and an ad-
ditional delegate for each 400 Republi-
can votes. That would be more salts
factory to the country, I think. AS for
the nomination of a candidate for
United States senator, why, Davis re-
election is a foregone conclusion. It
would do no harm for the Republican
State convention, provided it is a rep
resentative convention, to express it's
preference. Let US have a representa-
tive Republican State convention in
which the farmers will be we'll repre-
sented. Let the convention be held at
time when farmers can attend it, in
the latter part of August or first week
in September, and let US adopt a plat
form broad enough for every Republi-
can IN Minnesota to stand upon; and
lastly, let us place in nomination good,
clean men, and for one have no fear
OF the result at the polls.

OF bulletins for the information Of the
people concerning experiments made.
To defray the experiment department
OF the colleges, congress appropriates
annually ei5 900. The benefits Of this
appropriation are received by terrific
ries as we'll as by states.
The next step in congressional legis-
lation in this direction is indicated by
an act Of congress approved August 80,
1890, for 'the more complete endow.
ment and support of colleges for the
benefit Of agriculture and the mechanic
arts. - The venerable Senator Morrill,,
in the eightieth year of his age, was the
author Of this bill. II provides from
the sale OF public lands, for the benefit
Of these colleges an additional sl5, 900
for the year ended June So $780, and in
crcases said amount by 81, 900 each year
until the annual appropriation reaches
! s25. 600, at which sum il remains, unless
repealed by congress The uses TO
which said appropriation may be APP
J piled are as follows: ITO be applied
only TO instruction in agriculture, the
mechanic arts, the English language,
and the various branches of mathe-
matical, physical, natural, and econom-
ic science, with special reference to
their applications in the industries of
life, and to the facilities for such in
structon."
SO much for national Legislation The
territory of New Mexico, by acts of the
legislature, has accepted the conditions
OF the congressional acts and created
an institution of learning known as the
agricultural College and Experiment
Station of New Mexico" and located
the same at Las Cruces. Among other
provisions of said acts are, that the
college "shall be non-sectarian in char
acter and devoted to practical instruc-
ton in agriculture, mechanic arts,
natural sciences connected Herewith,
rs well as thorough course of in
struction in all branches of learning

TALLY the same preparatory work. They
must all rest upon n thorough knowl-
edge Of the elementary mathematics,
science, history, geography and the
English language. No matter what
may be the subsequent line of special
study, these must precede and form the
basis.
just as upon the several branches OF

lated varieties may be grated and sue
cessfully grown, each drawing its
nonrishment through the same trunl,
from the same source, so the several
courses OF study which fit men and
women for the duties of life, radiate
from the foundation work given in the
preparatory department of the college.
Among these courses may be named the
following: Course in agriculture and
and horticulture, containing much
science practically applied and less oi
