dent of the Evening News, when a man
OF medium size, with gray hair and
shoulders slightly bent, passed by me
with brisk step. 1t was John Stephen
son, the man who built the first horse

many n hard knock in his time, and has
survived misfortuncs that would have
downed many less able and perscvering
men Twice has he been compelled to
start into business afrcsh; the first time
by reason of a fire that DESTROYED all
his possessions; the second time from
being sold out by mortgage. Only by
the most remarkable perseverance and
close attention to work has he been
able to make his way. One need only
look at his face and feel of his horny
palms to appreciate and understand the
rough experience through which this
man has passed. And yet he is an ex-
ample TO all men in his devotion to his
religion and his practice of his belief in
daily life. He told me in conversation
once that In the darkest days he never
doubted that the clouds would pass
and all be bright again 1t is this that
has sustained him all through He is
lover of music and literature, and de-
rlves the greatest pleasure from the
perusal of a good book. His inventive
mind is still busy graphing with the

of whom he is very fond.

IN reviewing the wheat question
and the unusual price of that cereal,
the Minneapolis Journal concludes, as
is self-evident, that the rise is based
upon the European shortage, as set
forth in cables to grain men in this
country. From Germany and France
no official statement has really been
made about the crops. The published
European shortage of 100000 bushels
is probably excessive and it emanates
from bull sources, very naturally.
The reports from Southern Russia and
India are far from favorable, so that
making some allowance for bull eXag-
geration and taking into consideration
the intimidation Of our own surplus
with no new wheat until July. it does
not appear that, with the home con-
sumption of $4,000, 900 bushels month
and the 100000 bushels for spring
seeding and the export that we have
much Of the old stock on hand when
the new wheat comes. The stock on
hand March l, according to the agri-
cultural department., was 100000
bushels, so that putting the various
drafts upon this together, even the
Clews' statement and prediction of
close shortage has an element of posi-
bility in it. And we can easily dispose
Of 5OO,000,0O0 bushel crop if it comes
and if the crop is not larger than last
years there cannot be drop in prices.
The world will take over 1000, 900, 900
bushels Of wheat this year-if it can
get it.
Take it all around and the bull cam
paign seems to be somewhat justified
by the actual conditions.

THERE is no longer doubt as to the
intention Of certain element of Re-
publicanS in Minnesota to secure a
delegation to the next Republican
National convention favorable to the
denomination of President Harrison.
Steps looking to this end are being
quietly taken, and a sort of close cor
pOratiOn between a few prominent
city politicians, whose business it will
be as later Developments will show
to shape the various county delega-
lions so as to swing them into line for
Mr.. Harrison. While the President
has made an excellent executive in
many respects, there is no enthusiasm
for him in this state and no consider
able demand for his denomination
exists. The same condition is ap-
parent to very great extent through
out the entire north and west. There
is a deep seated suspicion that he
does not possess the elements of
strength necessary to carry the party
to victory in '92, and if he is nominat-
ed it will be accomplished through the
combined efforts of office-holders and
political leaders. Certain it is that
the rank and file of the Republican
party do not warm up to Harrison as
it would to Blaine, Alger, Cullom,
Tln1anyu n n host Of OIL
names might be mentioned. 1t may
be that the people will take hand in
the next nominating convention and
select a candidate to their own liking.
If they do it is safe to say that there
will be others in it besides Mr.. Harri-
son.

THE gross earnings or l02 railroads
in the United States for February
were 4.6 per cent. larger than for the
same time a year previously, while
the net earnings show gain of So
per cent. The latter figures, accord
ing to the Chicago Tribune, indicate a
satisfactory saving in current eXpen-
Ses, and it is understood that much if
not all Of this saving has been effect
ed by a slackening from the intense
competition for business rather than
by reduction of the wage scale. The
gain in gross earnings is the heaviest
since June, which is all the more re-
markable in view of the fact that
since February of last year found all
the grain roads taxed to the utmost
of their carrying capacity to move the
enormous surplus from the harvest of
1889, while the crops of last year were
light.

JAMES MCBROoM, of Danville, this
county, sold several hundred bushels
of wheat the first of the week for 81 .0l
per bushel. Mr.. McBroom is a close
observer, an intelligent gentleman
and man thoroughly posted on af-
fairs. He is also a successful farmer.
Speaking of the price of farm pro-
ducts he said: Il have never, in my
existence, and l am, as you know, get
ting well along in years. known
time when farmers could get as much
money for what they had to sell and
pay as little for what they had to buy.
OF course | have seen the time when
l could get 80 cents per pound fer but
ter, but then l got pounds of sugar
a dollar. You can see that prices now,
both ways, compared with those times
are greatly on the side of the farmer"
And what Mr.. McBroom says is an
absolute fact. 1t is a matter suscep-
tible of proof and evidence of the bet
terment of the condition of the pro-
ducer. The cry about the ''down-
trodden farmer is myth and only
INDUCED by demagogue politicians.
There never was a time when the
farmers condition was as satisfactory
as now. A gentleman who knows
whereof he speaks told us one day this
week that the farmers of Blue Earth
county had on deposit in the banks Of
this county over a million dollars.
We have in Blue Earth county about
5000 voters. OF this number about
5000 are men actually engaged in ag-
ricultural pursuits. On this basis Of
calculation, for every farmer vote cast
there is on deposit in our banks in
round numbers 1896 of money belong
ing to farmers. 1t is a pleasure to be
able occasionally to note such facts as
these. They knock the theology out
of all such stuff as Donnellyites are
trying to inject into people and should
set the farmers to more carefully con-
sidering their real condition.

New YORK has finally made a move
toward the erection of the long-prom-
ised Grant monument. Yesterday
being the siXty-ninth anniversary of
the birth of Gen. Grant, the time was
accepted by the committee as that
most appropriate to lay the corner
stone of the monument. The cere-
monies were impressive and in keeping
with the occasion. 1t is hoped, for
the good name of New York and the
patriotism of the American people,
that this long neglected tablet to the
memory of our honored dead may be
speedily erected. A grateful people
demand that no further delay shall
be suffered.
