The Fergus Falls Daily Journal a
few days ago claimed that the I'M
stacked wheat of the Red River Val
ley in North Dakota was practically
ruined by the heavy and continuous
rains, and says it is estimated that
there will be 25,000,000 bushels Of
"off grade" wheat from that section
of the country. On the other hand,
reports in the ST. Paul and Minneapo-
lis papers state that while there is
any quantity of bleached wheat, it
has not been damaged to the extent
claimed, that Is per cent. will cover
the damage already done. There can
be no question but that spectators
will take every possible advantage of
the i'll luck which has befallen the far
mers of North Dakota in securing
their bountiful crop, consequently it
is to their interest to make things
out as black as they can. But it is
bound to be bad enough at the best,
and the hope going out from all over
the land will be that from now on the
weather of the Northwest may be
as fine as we are enjoying here at
present, so that the farmer may secure
the result of his seasons labor.

changes. A few days ago colored
youth was duly presented for admis-

the school is concerned, and the ques-
tion comes up as to whether or not
the city of Philadelphia can be used
to execute a will discriminating
against citizens Of Philadelphia on ac-
count of color. Though noted for his
eccentricities, it is very probable that
had Mr.. Girard lived and written his
will fifty years later, he would have
accepted the results of the war, or
had he not, the City of Philadel phia
would not have accepted the provision
of his will. 1t is not pleasant to go
contrary to dead mans will, but on
the other hand, it is a standing dis
grace for Philadelphia to be obliged
to longer discriminate against one
class of her citizens.

Joel P. Heatwole, chairman of the
Republican State committee has
written letter to the Minneapolis
Tribune defending his position in not
calling meeting of the state COM
mittee some time ago as requested by
a number of parties. Of the %
members of the committee 19respond-
ed to his inquiry as to whether they
thought it advisable to hold such a
meeting. OF these 16 were opposed to
it, as they did not think it best to pre-
cipitate political campaign at this
time. Mr.. Heatwole states that he
is opposed to meeting at this time,
but will call one whenever majority
of the committee desire it. We
think the members of the committee
were wise, and that the criticisms up
on Mr.. Heatwole were uncalled for in
the light Of these facts. If the meet
ing of the COMMITTEE any time before
the holidays will precipitate the open
ing of the campaign it seems to us
that it should be postponed. The
campaign will be plenty long enough
from the time the state convention is
called to elect delegates to the nation
al convention.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is a candidate for
the presidential nomination by the
Democratic party. In the present
campaign in New York he is doing
everything in his power to secure the
election Of the Tammany ticket. On
the other hand George William Curtis,
editor of Harper's Weekly, the leader
of the mugwumps, says that the great
est evil that can befall New York, is
the success of Tammany in the COM
ing election. Now as party leader
and public man, Mr.. Cleveland has
always been favorite with Mr.. Cur
tbs. He has also, until this fall, been
an opponent of Tammany. Now that
they have reached the forks in the
road, and Mr.. Cleveland has chosen to
surrender body, boots and breeches to
the most corrupt political organiza-
tion known, what will the mug
Wumps do? Mr.. Curtis cannot follow
Tammany, and if he follows Cleveland
further, he must indirectly endorse
Tammany. 1t will be interesting to
watch the great mugWumpt's course
in the coming presidential contest,
should Grover Cleveland succeed in
capturing the Democratic nominal
tiOn.

A Bright Young Lady.

Who edits special department in
one of the best country weeklies of
Minnesota, was lately a delegate to a
gathering Of representative ladies,
held at point on ''The Burlington"
In speaking of the connection, and
the journey to and fro, she writes to
her paper:
"a very pleasant ride to Winona
was enjoyed, which was greatly due
to the superior accommodations and
excellent management of "The Burl-
ington." The conductors and train
men were very courteous. A better
route could not have been chosen: the
road was smooth and the chair cars
gave one almost the ease of home.
The road wound in and out in gentle
curves, now along the banks of the
flowing river, then dashing between
tall bluffs, or running along by rip
ping brook, which constantly afford
ed the travellers varied and delightful
scenery. Before leaving the cars the
ladies fastened to the bell rope a neat
card tied with the white ribbon and
bearing the words: Acknowledge
ments of the State w. G. T. u. Con-
vention, Winona, Sept. 1-5.' All GER
tainly had appreciated the kindness
of The Burlington.
This route is famous from Lake
Michigan to the Pacific Coast for it's
attention to the comfort of ladies
travelling without escort. For rates,

AN important conference which
opened to-day in Paris for a three
days session, is that of the Internal
ional commission of emigration. This
commission is composed of delegates
appointed mainly by the nations of
Europe, but the United States will
be represented also. The important
subject under discussion will be how,
under some practical method of CO.
operation by the European govern
ments, the large emigration OF work
ing people to this and other countries
upon the American continent can be
limited somewhat. This is question
that the y. S. is deeply interested in,
but it is very probable that there is
some difference as to the class of EN-
igrants that Europe and this country
are interested in. The class of people
that the governments of Europe do
not care to have leave them is the
class we most desire. And the
class they would be glad
to get rid of, we do not want. While
this commission is not likely to ac-
complish much, it may possibly open
up the way for the final solution of
the vexed question of foreign immi-
grafton.

HENRY GEORGE, the well known
writer upon economic subjects and
advocate of the single land tax, has
written a reply to the Encyclical let
ter, recently published by the Pope,
upon the labor question, and coming
from the source it does is bound to at
tract more or less attention. 1t is
said that it will fill about six pages of
the average daily newspaper Of
course his great remedy for all evils
which the Pope touched upon in his
letter, is the single land lax. and it is
said, not only does he put it forth as a
panacea for all public ills, but he be-
lieves it would prove equally as good
a cure-all for religious troubles. If
the Pope ever thought he could rival
our Mr.. George, in giving advice as to
the settlement of labor troubles he is
badly mistaken.

AN EVIL TO BE AVOIDED.

The Saint Saul Dispatch notes the
growing disposition to disregard state
issues in election campaigns and give
almost entire attention to national
matters. There is much truth in the
complaint on this subject, more truth
than there ought to be. In the cleo
tion of state officers, state matters
ought to come up for a full and free
discussion. And to certain extent
they do, but when the state election
occurs at the time of the presidential
election, the former is dwarfed into
insignificance by the latter. 1t ought
not to be so, but it is.
When the state election occurs at
another time, state matters ought to
command the entire attention. 1t
may occasionally happen, as in Ohio
this fall, where great party leader,
like Mckinley, is the gubernatorial
candidate, that national issues, by
force of circumstances, become the
controlling factor. But other than
this, they should not.
1t would, indeed, be pity and a
disgrace if the states should grow to
be misgoverned because Of attention
being absorbed entirely in national
matters. Our great cities, and many
of the smaller ones, are misgoverned
largely because the local campaigns
are fought on national party lines
Probably one of the greatest difficulties
in the path of municipalreform in the
United States, is to get the people to
face the abuses, of which they COM
plain, and right then.
On the other hand, there is consid-
cradle attention paid to state matters
in spite of the attempts of politicians
to dodge them. If you should ask the
Republican leaders of Wisconsin
about it, they would tell you that
their defeat last fall was accomplish
ed because of too much attention to
local matters, combined with preju-
dice and misrepresentation. If Tam
many goes down under the weight of
the ballots of the people of New York
on Nov. 3rd, it's leaders will feel that
it was brought about because of too
much attention to state matters, and
the same may be said Of Gov. Boies,
of Iowa.
National matters are of great i'm
portance and should be given all the
attention due them, but they should
not be allowed to engross our interest
to the detriment of affairs nearer
home.

The work of raising the Worlds
Fair fund in Hennepin and Ramsey
counties is progressing entirely salts
factory, and the large amounts ap-
portioned to ST. Paul and Minneapolis
will soon be secured. The Superin-
tendent Of state exhibit is in receipt
of letters from residents in Olmstead
and Scott counties, in response to cir
cular letters calling for prompt action,
stating that the matter will be taken
up and pushed through without delay.
The most fiattering assurances are
also sent in from other counties, and
it now seems very certain that Min
nesota will show her pride in having
a thoroughly creditable exhibit at
Chicago by placing sufficient funds at
the disposal of the commission to
guarantee such. AT the Board of
Trade meeting in Mankato next Mon
day morning, it is hoped that our
citizens will show their interest in
Blue Earth county's quota by lending
their personal presence and influence
in inaugurating prompt and effective
measures to raise this money. AS one
of the wealthiest counties in the state
it should be among the first to report
that it's proportion has been raised,
and by so doing maintain it's estab-
lished reputation for coming to
front in matters where public inter
est is called for.

ing hold of the matter of securing the
Republican National convention for
Minneapolis next year, in manner
that is likely to be felt. There is no
reason why, if the two cities work to-
gether, the convention should not be
secured for the Northwest. This
section of the republic has become an
important factor in national aft fairs,
and has always given good Republican
majorities. Besides it would do the
delegates of the East and South good
to come up here and get glimpse of
