1T PROMOTES DISEASE.

While one feels inclined to kick at
the unusually wet weather of late, there
is some compensation in it, if a French
expert on the subject has sized up the
situation rightly. He, and others who
have verified his conclusions, finds that
there is comparatively no dust in the
atmosphere after a rain. The differ
ence in this matter found at Paris after
a dry week and after a heavy rain was
about as one to ninety-twO. Tue dust
is the stamping ground of the microbes
that produce the disease. Snow. how
ever, will do as we'll or little better
than rain, as it holds the germs. High
temperature cuts little figure except
as it induces careleSSnesS resulting in
colds. The Northwest is especially IA
vored so far, while the grippe is roam
ing the country generally. 1t is milder
than before. and New York physician
of note says that while there is no pre-
ventive, there need be little fear if the
people keep the system in good trim
and carry a stiff upper lip. The digest
i've organs should be in good working
order and the body kept warm, but the
emphatic injunction is to "Wear pure
wooden garments There's the rub.
The millionaire and the sleek, close
man who is able to revel in luXurieS can
import the pure article and have silk en-
virOnments, but not so with the average
citizen. Under this MCKINLEY system
shoddy IS taking the place Of the pure
WOODEN article. Recent estimates put
the spurious element at from so to 30 per
cent in the goods that the masses are
able to buy. But this eminent physi-
clan says that to be an efficient protec-
ton against the disease germs pure
WOODEN clothing must be had. MCKIN-
LEY and his protection workers have
made this impossible TO the many, and
have forced them to accept clothing that
leaves them exposed to danger from
epldemIcs and suffering from the Sc
verify of winter weather. The system,
then, is menace TO life and health.

MINNEsOTA,s SHARE.

the fact that this is a serious diSappoint-
ment to this region. MIR. CASTLE. with
his wonted perspicacity and thorough
ness of method. has SO carried himself

But Mr.. HALL and Mr.. HARRIES, who
followed Mr.. MILLS fortunes. have been
almost entirely lost in the shuttle. This
is in striking contrast to the treatment
of the three Democrats who represented
Minnesota in the Eiftieth congress, OF
whom Mr.. RICE, at the time new
member, was appointed to the ways

and Mr.. MACDONALD gained valuable
assignments. The party in this state,
which knows the ability of its two rep

Of the Democrats whom we sent to the
last Democratic house. They have both
their spurs to win, and the GLOBE has
10 doubt at all that before the session
is many months old their colleagues
will recognize the same qualities of
capacity and character which have
given them a position of honor and
dignity among their constituents. There
is only one danger, and that is lest
their courage may wane under the in
| itial blows which attend their public
| careers Those who know them best,
however, feel sure that they are too
brave soldiers TO be disconnected by
| their experiences, and that in the face
of defeat they will only renew their
! struggles for the pre-eminence to which
they are entitled.
The outlook is that there will be field
enough for their votes and voices. AS
predicted yesterday morning, the coin
age committee embraces an overwhelm-
ing majority in favor of the free coinage

this project. The GLOBE believes that

BOSTON PROHIBITION.

. 1t is queer incident in the current
history of Boston that at the election
last week that city came near the pro-
hibition line in its vote Oh the license
question. \ year ago there was 1929
majority in favor OF license. This year
this is cut down to 4.327 on an increased
vote. At The same time the Democratic
majority exceeded $4,000. The local
press has various explanations. Some
attribute it TO the growth of temperance
sentiment, which, if the fact. would be a
marvellous change. and afford fair pros
pect that at an early day Boston would be
prohibition city. 1t has never been SuS-
pected of having tendencies of that
sort. Its early idol and personifcation
of its spirit. DANIEL WEBSTER, often
INDUCED to excess. and his example has
been followed by JOHN /. SULLIVAN
and other representative citizens. The
more reliable analysis of the vote seems
to he that the Democrats were out of
humOr over the success of the Repub-
licans the past few years in capturing
the liquor vote of the city. The Repub-
licans have allowed it to have large
hand in the state legislation and the en-
forcement Of acts affecting it. Had it
defeated Gov. RUSSELL in November, it
is believed prohibition would have car
ried in December. The moral can be
worked out by the politicians,

WILL HE DO IT?

Should the president, as recent dis
patches intimate, exercise the authority
given him in the MCKINLEY act to put
new duties upon the products of couD-
tries that have not made reciprocity
treaties with the United States, direct
issue would probably be made for the
supreme court. That body would have
to settle the question whether congress
could, under the constitution, delegate
such power, affecting the interests of
the whole people. The statement is
that on the first of January the presi-
dent will issue a proclamation announc-
ing that he has applied the statutory
power given him, and imposed duties
on sugar, molasses, coffee, tea, hides
or such of these as he sees fit. The du-
ties he will impose if he uses his OppOr-
tunity are: On sugar, 2 cents pound !;
lower grades, less down to 7-10 of a
cent; molasseS, 4 cents a gallon; coffee,
cents pound; tea, 10 cents pound,
and hides IL cents pound. Sugar
would not probably be affected, as the
principal producers, such as the West
Indies and Germany, have made some
sort of concessions. A couple of the
less important South American cOun-
tries might send their sugar to other
markets. Then, when the president
comes to hides, he will pause
and reflect. The duty on hides
will endanger the votes of the
shoemakers in Massachusetts and the
East to the party. States that must be
had would be lost. A foreign trade in
leather goods amounting to Sl2,0OO,O OC
would be imperiled, and no consider
able gain in votes would be had among
the hide producers. Secretary RUsK
may think Massachusetts, should be
punished for its late voting, but the
president will not do it in this way, il
he is to be the candidate. Nor will he
think it safe to impose duties Oh tea and
coffee to increase their cost materially
to consumers. He may discriminate
against Uruguay in tea and Argentine
in coffee, but they will cut no great
figure. Japan and China are the coun-
tries that supply these articles of COM
mon use. They will not be shut out by
duties Of and 10 cents a pound. The
AsIatic producers would never discover
that the shippers pay the duties, but the
consumers in this country would be
quick to find out why their grocery bills
were enlarged. The president may con-
ciude not to issue any proclamation.

THF VALLEY OF GOLD.
President Roach Talks Of the Fer
tile Red River.

PreSiG ent Roach Talks OF the Fer
tile Red River.
Hon. w. n. Roach, president of the
board of trustees of the state university
and Democratic candidate for governor
of North Dakota for the last two cam
paigns, was in the city yesterday en-
route to the East to do some immigra-
ton work among old friends in New
York state. He was not talking politics,
but of the wonderful wheat crop
of the Red River valley. Mr..
Roach is not only a keen politician,
but he is also practical farmer and sat
on a twine binder for four weeks, cut
ting his own aud his neighbOrS' grain,
during the past harvest, and for the past
two weeks has been hauling hay. Eigh-
teen hundred and ninety-One was a
phenomenal crop year in the Red River
valley, aud he predicts that 1892 Will
equal if not suIpaSs it. He had wheat
this season running as high as forty
bushels to the acre. Land equally good
can be bought for from SO to 800 an
acre. There was an unusually long
period of rainy weather this
fall which delayed threShinG.
The recent snow storm, which was ex-
aggerated by newspaper correspondents
into a bowling blizzard, was nothing
more than a brisk SNOW storm, fitting
climax to the long rainy spell, but at no
time was the temperature below zero.
The snow has all disappeared except i'll
patches. and within radius of six
miles of his home IN the town of Lari-
more, there are a dozen threShing ma
chimes now busy turning out ali excel
lent grade of wheat, Notwithstanding
that much of it has been standing in
shocks. He says that nearly every
farmer in his vicinity this year raised
enough to pay for his land at $40 an
acre, besides all expenses of raising the
crop.
The use of smoke SmudgeS, he thinks,
will prevent the only serious menace to
successful wheat culture in the North
west. He tried it himself this year, and
thinks it satisfactorily performs its mis-
sion III preventing the formation of
dew. If the farmers of the Northwest
were as careful i'll their operations as
their brothers in the East there would
be no doubt of success every year. The
average man in North Dakota farms on
a plan so waSteful that it would drive a
frugal Eastern farmer crazy. The Da-
kota farmer generally wastes enough
every year to pay his family expenses,
everything comes so easy.
Mr. Roach was accompanied by Mr..
+. j. Lander. of Grand Forks, and sew
eral other North Dakotans also east
ward-bOund on missionary trip for the
valley.
