Gov. Merriam Defended.

The last issue Of the New Ulm Re-
view contains lengthy defense of the
course of Gov. Merriam in relation to
Holden and Rose, which will be read
with some interest by Redwood coun-
~ people, especially that part quoting
Judge Webber's sentiments:
In the cases of both criminals graat
pressure was brought to bear nnon
Merriam in their behalf. LARGE net;.
tons were signed for each man and
many prominent citizens asked for
mercy for one as we'll as for the other
All were paid proper attention and
respect, and from this it does not an
pear that the governor could have
been guided at all out of policy. That
he may have acted at a poc,iliar Time
IN the Holden case is perhaps true,
put there are reasons for that aside
from politics. The doubt surrounding
the guilt of the prisoner thickened
toward the end, and many were the
circumstances to lead one to think
that perhaps he was innocent after all
Even the judge who sentenced him
was never firm in his conviction
that Holden was a guilty man, and
oLten sad and says SO to-day; that
While he believes him to be such. he
could not have made up his mind to
say so as juror. Is it any wonder
then that Merriam should hesitate to
deal otherwise than carefully with
Holden's life9
In the Rose case, on the other hand.
the chain of evidence seems to be com
Plete. Three times reviewed by a
reasoning judge, who refused a new
trial, and once by the supreme court,
which sustained the lower court, there
IS but little room left for doubt. Mer-
nam could hardly find otherwise, and
IN liking the day for execution he sim
ply performed duty-not task that
was his or not at his own pleasure.
IL is not the prerogative of the COVER
nor TO commute a mans sentence, be-
cause he thinks there was perhaps
reason for it. It lies alone with the
jury to consider the motive and the
right or wrong of the crime, and the
governor should consider alone the
mere fact of it's commission. The
executive department, by the way,
was not intended to serve the function
OF judicial body.

Sheep are Profitable &.

A ride along the country roads at
this season of the year, reveals great
need for sheep on many farms. In
some sections bushes accumulate in
the fence corners and places not east
ly plowed, and give the whole farm a
very ragged, ill-kept appearance.
Weeds are omniprcsent in the west.
Perhaps they grow as rapidly in other
parts of the world, but that climate
which make corn king seems equally
favorable to these pests, and weeds
prevail not only everywhere but grow
to an enormous size. There are vari-
cites of weeds which horses and cattle
will eat and hold in check, but as
rule they are altogether too dainty and
select in their diet to take the place of
sheep, which are the universal scav-
engers of vegetation. A sheep farm
can be picked out at a distance by the
freedom of brush and rank weeds. Not
only arc the fence corners free from
brush, and the pastures free from
weeds, but the cultivated fields Of a
sheep farm are usually full of fertility
and protitably productive. These an
finals, which consume everything that
grows, leaves their droppings scattered
over the fields in such form as to be in
the very best condition for plant food.
Flockmasters claim that they get three
crops year-the lambs, the wool and
the culls of the herd. But these are
not the only items on the credit side
of tho ledger. Besides the very marked
increase of fertility there is the de-
struction of unsightly weeds and the
clearing up of brush. The lover of a
tidy and thrifty farm will reckon this
as no small tom in the count.-Breed-

In a series of brief biographies of
Sleepy Eye young men,in the Dispatch,
two former Redwood Falls boys are
nicely done up, as follows:
Among the young men we find here
none are more worthy than our fellow
craftsman, Asa Brooks of the Herald
force. Asa may be older than he looks
or he may look younger than he is,but
he is good printer, a we'll educated
and observing young gentleman, with
penchant for high wheel bicycle.
A young lady remarked in our hearing
recently that "she could like Mr..
Brooks real we'll only she was afraid
he would fall off that wheel and kill
himself and she did not like the idea"
A little thing like this, however, does
not interfere with Asa's popularity,
much to the qualification of his older
friends who really hope to see him rise
in his chosen profession-thea art pre-
sentative, the art of arts.
Will Tyler is somewhat new to Sleepy
Eye but he is getting along swimming
ly and winning friends. It is refresh
ing to see him hustle few yards of
dress goods into piece of wrapping
paper and Jensen e. Durbahn find their
store force considerably augmented by
his arrival. Just now is pretty busy
season and Will has not had chance
to demonstrate Just what his social
qualities are. We predict that he will
be a full iedged member of that charm
ing crowd known as the "boys" before
long.

A Canard.

The article credited to the New
York Press going the rounds of the
papers, in which it is alleged that I'M
favorable action has been taken in the
New York Legislature against tho
Royal Baking Powder, proves to have
been a canard, cotton up and circulat-
ed by opposition baking powder p.ak-
ers for purposes quite apparent to ev-
cry one. The New York Press, in ex-
posing the fraud, says: "No such leg
islation as that stated in this article
was ever had in this state-or in any
legislation, to our knowledge" The
lie is made from whole cloth. The
Press disclaims any responsibility for
the publication, and objects to being
made party to such methods adopt
ed by some baking powder manufac-
turers in their efforts to substitute
their goods for others now in use.

Answering Democratic contempor-
airy, the Todd County Argus says there
may be more than one reason why ST.
gar should be duty free and salt pro-
tected by tariff, but one good one is
because salt is produced in this coun-
try and has sold by the barrel in Mil
waukee for less than the tariff. Sugar
is not produced in this country to any
extent and must be imported, and
therefore the consumer must pay the
full price of the sugar with the tariff
added. In the one case the tariff is
a tax and in the other it is not.

Science in BreadSMaking.

At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society, held in
Washington, D. c., the question of the
value of carbonate of ammonia as a
leavening agent in bread, or as used in
baking powder came mp for discussion
in which Prof. Barker, of the Uniyers-
ity of Pennsylvania, and President of
the Society; DR.. Richardson, late Of
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture in Washington; DR.. VIM. Nc
Murtrie, late professor Of Chemistry in
the Univ Q :sity of Illinois; DR.. q. H.
BARLEY, late chemist of the Brooklyn,
n. Y. Board of Health, and professor
of Chemistry of the Long Island Col
lege, and others took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
wholming in favor of the employment
of ammon a. 1t was stated as fact
that ammonia rendered the gluten of
the -four more soluble than the origin
al gluten, and that the bread in which
this action was produced by carbonate
of ammonia must DO more digestible
and hence moro healthful, and because
of the extreme volatility of carbonate
of ammonia, and it's complete expul-
sion from tho bread in the process of
baking, it is one of the most useful,
most healthful and most valuable
leavening agents known. These con-
illusions are borne out by tho very
elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. J. w. Mallet, OF the
University of Virginia, which show
conclusively that bread made with a
baking powder in which one per cent
of carbonate of ammonia is used, in
connection with cream of tartar and
soda, is not only of uniformly better
color and texture, but a product more
wholesome, because the ammonia
serves to neutralize any organic or lac
tic acids present in the flour.

Northwestern Agricultural: The
sharp and rasping competition of city
life is unknown to the farmer. The
desperate struggle for success in cities
often make bitter enemies of those who
should be friends. The merchant who
is ambitious for money and for prece-
dence, must fight for his place; others
want 1t, and he must contest his claims
and climb over them, dead or alive.
Farmers are not in any such sense
competitors. If Farmer A grows 80
bushels of wheat to the acre, it does
no harm to his neighbor, Farmer B,
whose average is only Is. On the con
trary, Farmer B raises the price of his
land because, he argues, and Justly
that if Farmer A grows 30 bushels to
the acre, his farm will produce as much
under the same conditions. The farm
or who grows prize-winning stock does
not rob his neighbor of profits or di-
vide his trade, but rather benefits the
whole vicinity by the reputation he has
earned and which spreads all over his
town and county. Narrow jealousy
and seriousness should be unknown
among farmers.

st. Paul Globe: A saloon even with
out gambling or designation attach
mont, is difficult concern to defend,
and a man who keeps one runs the
risk of having hard things said about
him. 1t would be better for Minneap-
Oils and better for St. Paul if there
were no bars in either of them. The
drinking habit is a bad one for the
health, the pocket and the character
of the people who indulge in it. Very
reputable men do take cocktails be-
tween meals, and do loiter about the
entrance of liquor stores, exchanging
the courtesies of the season with their
friends. But it is not the wisest nor
the safest habit they have, and they
are playing with fire. Half-fuddled
gentlemen achieve a good deal some
times, even when they are in this con-
dition, but they also sometimes make
expensive and disastrous plumbers,
simply because they haven't their wits
about them. A good many fortunes
have faded away in follics induced by
