WHEN New York and other AtIau

WHEN New York and other Allan

long standing assumption, that I'VE
are the United States,' and frankly
acknowledge that there is vast and
fertile region beyond their little by

shells, they will Immediately rise in
the estimation Of the world. The
GOODNESS with which these places have
treated the Worlds Fair project since
it was located in the West is conyinc-
ing evidence of their narrowness of
disposition. Western enterprise will
do much in 1893 to unlock the seals of
their limited spirits. Come west and

DURING the warm weather and the
absence of congress, the washington
correspondents to the metropolitan
dalies. seem unable TO grapple with
weighty matters of state and similar
issues, but confine themselves to the
more ethereal themes of political
speculation, and some Of their gyra-
items are about as SubstanceleSS as
the vapors of The Potomac. He who
places much reliance on their prodUc-
tions is liable to find himself void of
all political substance when the cool
er weather and more earnestneSs is
brought TO bear upon human events.
In other words these so-called rumors
are mere myths.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 80, 81.
At last an actual and promising be-
ginning has been made in the work Of
providing the country with adequate
coast defenses. The great Pinch

gun recently completed at the Water

The price Of steel rails fell from 1870
to 1890 from Sf06.75 a ton to S3l-75
ton, or considerably more than two
thirds of the price twenty years ago
The price Of tin plate in 1870 was
5.ll cents pound. The price in 1890
was 3.07 cents a pound Instead Of
reduction Of 20 per cent. as in theaess
of steel rails, this is reduction Of but
81 per cent. barely half as much.
Steel rails are made in this country
The tin plate is all made abroad. A

tin plate was ''for revenue only" and
practically prohibited the manufac-

The reports from Washington in
dictate that the choice for a city at
which to hold the next National Re
publican convention has settled down
to Minneapolis and Omaha, and one
or the other is likely to get it. When
il comes to a choice between these
places it seems that the arguments in
favor of Minneapolis are overwhelm-
ing, and it should be made a state is
sue. Every Minnesotian should labor
necessarily for the twin cities, and if
St. Paul and Minneapolis would pre-
sent a solid front in favor of the lat
ter city, they could secure it. Step
forward. Twin Cities and make the
great hit of your lives.

toR maay-months-a somewhat IN

d E0R many. months a somewhat IN
pleasat controversy has been conduct
ed in the newspapers Of the country
between the bureau Of Catholic 1ndi-
ans missions and the Indian Commits
siOner Morgan. The affair has been
nothing more nor less than the eXdg-
gerat iOn OF a misunderstanding. Those
two leyel-minded Catholic divines,
Ireland and Cardinal
Gibbons, have at last cleared up the
unpleasant imbroglio by personal in
Eestigati0n and announce that their
faith in Commissioner Morgan's good
intentions has been established, and
that the ado made about the matter
has all been groundless. The trouble
started out of the order of Mr.. Nor
gan to the effect that all contracts for
schools must be signed by the super
intendents of the schools, instead of
by the Disictor Of the Catholic mis-
Sion as was the practice before. The
eminent gentlemen above named are
now satisfied that the order was a
sound business eXpedient, and not in
tended as stab at the missions. The
Catholic missions have done much
good among the Indians, and the fact
that this misunderstanding has been
cleared away is gratifying.

THE Weekly Wisconsin Of Milwaukee
calls Donnelly the straddler. The pa
pers Of Mr.. DIS own state have. called
the Sage everything in the En-
glish vocabulary, and have translated
several epistles from foreign tongues
to cover the subject sufficiently, but
they have never deemed it proper to
call him a straddler. Donnelly does
get onto all sides of a question in the
course Of time, but he never gets onto
but one side at time. He is such a
pugnacious individual that he will
fight the whole shop at once. If he
cannot lick somebody on one side he
will get over onto the other and try
it from an opposite direction. Gen
tlemen, call the Sage anything you
please, but don't pronounce him a
straddler.

GENERAL Baker must be credited
with one credit mark because of his
declaration in St. Paul few days ago,
that he would advise farmers not to
affiliate with the proposed wheat trust
scheme. All the farmer needs to do
is TO manage his business in accord
anee with such business principles as
the times and his own peculiar cir
cumstanees will admit Of. On this
platform he will average up about as
well as on these wild propositions.

Winnebago City Press NeauS: Never
in the history of Faribault county has
there been such a bountiful crop Of
all small grains as this year. Fari-
bault county never had failure Of
crops, but this year breaks the record.
The entire season has been peculiarly
favorable to this result. All grains as
sure big crop, and wheat, oats, fax
and barley are equally good. The po-
tato crop is an excellent one. A large
amount of grain will be in the shock
by SATURDAY night. Nothing but bad
weather can now injure the crop.
Everyone is busy and will be for the
next four weeks. In a conversation
with one of our grain buyers this
week he gave it as his opinion that
wheat would start in at about 81 per
bushel; oats at 20 cents and fax at 70
cents. Farmers are especially urged
to properly stack their barley until it
is thoroughly cured, as its market
value will be greatly enhanced by so
doing.

GEO. A. PILLsBURY, the Minneapo-
lis miller, gives few reasons why q
radical decline in the price. of wheat
usually follows a season of high pric-
es, which looks very reasonable. He
says that an increase in the COST on
wheat necessitates an advance in the
price OF flour, and that when this Is
done such countries as Norway. Hot
land Sweden and other countries
where the masses are poor people
consume less -four when the price goes
up, and the supply of -four thereby Is
allowed to accumulate, which lessens
the demand for wheat. This causes
the wheat market to tumble" and
unusually low pricss prevail for
time. This explanation has the ap-
pearance of sound reasoning.
