Tho evidences are multiplying that the
incendiary course that is being pursued by
the weekly paper in Richmond which is
regarded as an organ of the negro
race is doing more to bring about
the change in the management Of the
public schools which is advocated by
some-that is. of supporting the white
schools with money obtained from white
tax payers. and black schools with the
money collected from black Taxpayers
than is the most jealous champion Of that
measure.

COUNTIES AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

Among the published opinions on
the circular OF the board OF commits
siOnerS for the worlds fair for Mime
sofa. there is one which calls for COM
men1 as being an example Of the sort
of miSapDrehenSiOn to which the plan
for an adequate representation OF our
state at the Columbian exposition Is
subject. This was to the effect that.
as the number Of visitors TO the R1r
from d certain county would probably
not be more than ten or a dozen, that
county did not feel called upon TO
contribute anything towards the gen.
eral fund for an exhibit. The a6ti-
tude thus implied is not only an ex-
tremely selfish and limited che In It's
spirit, but it is utterly short-sighted
and impolibic. The exhibits at the
worlds fair are not intended for the
enlightenment CT these VINO make
them. The. benefit to be derived is
prOpOrtioned TO the number Of visitors
from other sections who, seeing q
splendid representative. Minnesota ex-
hibit, are Influenced by it to bring
their families and their capital to
swell the prosperity OF this common
wealth.. The position OF this director
Is exactly as foolish as would be shat
OF merchant who refused to adver-
tise IN newspaper unless it circulate
ed exclusively among those who were
already his patrons. It is the outside
world which we want TO inform and
educate III the matter OF Minnesota S
resources. In that work, every county
has direct and heavy interest. 1t Is
quite settled that we are to have a
fair representation OF our resources.
and it is equally certain that by its
means ever portion Of the state viii
gain in wealth and population
The circumstance is not brought uD
or dwelt upon as being deserving OF
unqualified censure, for the intent Of
such objections to giving is undoubt-
edly based on a sentiment less selfish
than appears on the surface. although
certainly narrow But it seems Gec-
essary TO point out that it is but a
pennyWlse policy which is betrayed
into such demurring: and that even if
nineteenths OF the population Of the
state were debarred from enjoying the.
attractions of the fair, tt would not
III the least detract from the necessity
Tor making q great exhibit for Mime
sofa. The Minnesota exhibit, al
though we may al take a rightful
pride in it, is not what Minnesotians
will 60 TO the fair t.. see. Others viii
see il, however, and shat is the reason
that we must make it Us significant

LESUEUR FALLS IN LINE,

From tire LeSueur Sentinel of Thurs
day we CLEAN the following in regard to
the action taken by the LeSueur board
of trade about the raising Of LeSueur
county IS quota to the Worlds Fair
fund:
The general sentiment. of those pre-
sent seemed to be that the state
should be represented in such d MAN.
ner DIS to reflect credit upon herself.
and that the proposed sum was none
too large. The proposition was final
| " made that the required sum $3.50,
should, be divided between the eastern
and western sides OF the county, LIE
Sueur city and the western half to
raise 500, and the eastern aside $3.50.
1t was proposed that twenty men
should be secured, who would become
responsible for twenty dollars each,
/ leaving the next legislature free to re-
/ imburSe them or not DIS they may see
it. Twenty dollars each if the in
diYiduaIs themselves in the end
should be obliged to pay it. would not
of itself be burdens0me and there
would be no obligation upon the
county or state for single dollar
President III. G.. Smith, W. Patten
and G. N. CosgroVe were appointed a
committee to solicit the twenty
/ names.

BLEEDING BRAZIL.

The life Of q Dictator is a hard one
in this age OF the world, and the man
who wishes to reach the pinnacle Of
fame can do so in q far more satisfac-
tory manner in liberal and humane
sort of way This is fully attested
by the lot Of Da Fonseca, OF Brazil.
Starting out with great field before
him, and a great chance to lift up his
fellow countFymen, he seems Go have
failed to measure the grandeur Of his
undertaking. Instead of building up
a liberal government and endearing
himself In the hearts Of the people
he has followed an opposite course,
and instead Of peace and content, the
country is now torn by discussions
Few were the liberties allowed the
new congress, but it was an obstacle
in his path, and was consequently
dismissed To carry out his ambi-
tions the press has been muzzled, and
| free speech stif1ed. No paper is said
to be allowed publication that does
not support him in his dictat0rial
ideas. AS a result revolution is i'm
minent. Several provinces or states
have declared their independence,
and the country whichDom Pedro did
SO much for, is on the verge Of q
stormy period, that at one time
or another seems to have been the
fate Of all Spanish-American coun-
tries. Its peace and prosperity has
been interfered with and Da Fonseca,
who might have gone down into his
& tory as the benefactor of his country,
will live only as d tyrant, detested by
his fellow men.

THE STRONGEST AND PUREST.
The official Report CT the Minnesota
Dairy and Food Commissioner
Shows the Royal Baking Pow
der the Best IN the State
!st. PM. vim tflens.

The last report OF the Minnesota
State Food and Dairy Commission
contains the details Of the State
Chemists experiments and analysis
to determine the strength and keep
ing qualities Of the various baking
powders. Samples Of the number of
brands on sale in this State were pur-
chased and first analysed TO ascertain
their leayening power. The Royal
Baking Powder Is shown BY the tests
of both State anal ySts, Prof Eberman
and Prof. Drew, TO contain the great
esU amount OF leavening gas Of the
cream OF tartar powders thus purchas-
ed and tested. Fence this powder is
officially ranked at the head OF the
list.
The report attaches great import
ance TO a series Of experiments made
to ascertain the character, efficiency
and keeping qualities of the powders.
Baking powders that vary ia strength
or chat readily lose strength before
use, are unreliable and viii not give
results: besides, it is an Indication of
the use in their comp0unding Of i'm
proper ingredients. These tests were
applied TO large number of samples
Of different ages Of the three cream Of
tartar powders best known in Mime
sofa They showed the strength or
leavening power Of the Royal very
much greater than that OF the others.
The uniformity OF strength Of all the
samples OF Royal tested was remarEa-
Bic. Its leayening power was practi-
caIly unimpaired even in the Oldest
specimens. The difference in the
amount OF leaveding gas in different
samples OF both the other brands was
so great as to seriously impair their
usefulness in baking. As much as "a
per cent. loss was found IN samples
few months old, All the samples of
Royal examined by DIR. Drew were re-
ported Of satisfactory strength and
quality.

THERE SHOULD BE No SECTIONS.


In an interview IN St. Paul a few
days age. Senator Kyle, Of South Da-
kota, stated that he Thought the
people Of this country were becoming
divided into sectional factions on the
tariff and silver questions. It seems
to be a fav0rite hobby with free trad
ers or those who have a leaning that
way, that the east and west are diff
ferentIy affected by the tariff, and
they sometimes claim that while it
may be effective in building up the
east. it is at the expense Of the west.
It seems to be their mode Of procedure
to try and create i'll feeling between
the two sections. It also seems TIC be
impossible for a free trader to takein-
to consideration the entire country
when dealing with the tariff question.
The Mckinley law, or any other tar
If law, is not enacted for the benefit
of any one section, but OF the entire
country.
I! Because there are not as many
manufacturing institutions III the
west as in the east, is no sign that
the tariff is detrimental to western
| interests. Because of the industries
built up in the east as result Of pro-
lection, the west has a market for a
large share Of it's produce, and is get
ting therefrom its manufactures
cheaper than it would were there no
factories located there, and the goods
had to be brought from England.
i But the tariff is giving the West
something better than the benefit Of
the Eastern market. 1t is building
up a market right here at our door.
Factories are constantly being located
throughout the west, and the home
market is constantly increasing. NoI

east up at the expense Of the west
