ABOUT the most imaginary freak
that has recently come over the Wash

of news broadcast that Thomas Will
son, of Winona, is being seriously con-
sidered as the successor of Bragg on
the interstate commerce commission.
Mr.. Wilson is the paid attorney of a
great railway system, and has been
for years. 1t would be strange indeed
if he were to be selected as a member
of a commission whose duty it is to
see that the people get the rights
which justly belong to them. 1t is
not probable that Mr. Wilson is being

UNDESERVED CRITICISM.
St. Cloud journal Press.


The Worlds Fair commission has
abandoned all efforts to secure the call
ing of an extra session Of the legisla-
ture to vote an additional appropria-
ton for the Minnesota exhibit, and
will furthermore make no attempt to
increase the $4,000. The members of
the commission can scarcely be blamed
for this. The course OF good many
Of the local papers has been exceeding
ly narrow and unjust, ascribing to the
gentlemen who compose the commits
sion and who are serving not only
without compensation but are paying
their own expenses, selfish personal
motives in desiring a larger appropri-
alton The fact is, that with but
$50, 200 Minnesota cannot make any
thing like a creditable exhibit, and
these gentlemen know it, and the ed
itors who so freely criticise them
might know it too if they gave the
subject equally intelligent considera-
tion. It.should be as much the desire
of every citizen of Minnesota that the
many resources of the state should be
properly displayed at this great expo
sition as it is of the commission, and
| it is also about as much the duty OF
each citizen to see that sufficient
means are provided to make the dis
play. Minnesota made a wretched
| fizzle at the time of the Centennial
Exposition, and there is manifested in
a good many quarters spirit of illib-
erality which would repeat in 1893 the
experiences of 1876.
judgments may differ as to the
wisdom of holding an extra session of
1.-THE legislature, but there cannot be
any difference of Judgment among in
telligent men as to the adyisability of
Minnesota's having thoroughly rep
resentative exhibit at the Worlds
fair. This can only now be secured by
generous action on the part of corpor-
ations, individuals and municipali-
ties. There should be united action
all around, and in the time that yet
remains the desired results may be ac-
complished.

Roya .ty In Wigs.

It seems that the hair on the heads Of
royal ladies turns gray quite like that
of ordinary mortals. This discovery
arises from n discussion over the grand
maship of the princess of Wales, whom
every body here has grown accustomed
to think of as possessing the trick of
perpetual youth. Mr.. Laboucherc has,
however, pointed out that she wears a
wig, and it appears that this is con-
structcd,by an artist of fabulous crafts
manship, whose identity is a profound
state secret. The cx-Qucen Isabella is
said, however, to have obtained his adj
dress by frankly throwing herself on
the mercy Of the gentle-heartacl prin-
cess, with the result that her iron-gray
crown of once raven hair is now re-
placed by jaunty, short, chestnut curls.
Moved by envy Of these, the present
queen regent of Spain, the Austrian
Christina, upon whose youth toll and
trouble have imposed premature gray
ness, is said also to have implored the
privilege of sharing tho secret, and, in
consequence, will shortly dazzle Mad
rid with chilealike locks.

DURING -Hee Lovers Illness.
Some employees introduced an innova-
ton in conductors ON the Madison street
cable line one day recently, says the
Chicago Herald. Passengers on one
car were not asked the question: Fare,
please" in the ordinary masculine
voice, but dainty, dulcet, feminine tones
propounded it in a hesitating voice, &C
companied by a dainty tap on the arm
or shoulder, which made the men want
TO pay more than once. She was q per-
feet vision of loneliness. a dainty, fair
complexion of u healthy pink tinge was
beautifully shaded from the red rose OF
the checks to the clear alabaster of tn
temples.
Pretty dimples broke the roundnes:;
of the checks, and large, blue eyes,
shielded by long, curving lashes, mod
estly pecped in a half-pitiful, half-deG-
ant manner at the passengers. A
jaunty conductors cap was saucily set
on tightly curling mass of golden hair.
She was evidently new hand at the
business.
The gripman confidentially told
knot of young men that she was
''stunner" and had just come to work
that morning, When she would catch
the eye of one of her evidently admiring
passengers, n blush would wave up
from her neck and down the dainty
color in her checks with its flood of
crimson. She was evidently full of bus,
mess, however. One young man who
got on the car sat in speechless amaze
mcnt at the vision which approached
him for his fare, but he was awakened
from his day dreams by the demand,
vouched in business-likc tones. He
pulled out n nickel, which he dropped
into the extended palm of the conduc-
tress and relapsed into his dream.
Every young man on the car-and it
was crowded, too-rode clear around
the loop again, and back to the West
side. They were still on the car pay
ing fares when the reporter jumped off.
Inquiries developed the following story
as to the presence of this vision on the
car. The conductor, who was her
sweetheart, had become suddenly i'll
while on the car, and was compelled to
leave at once. The woman had been
cashier in q downtown restaurant, and
knew how to handle money, in addition
to being familiar with the duties of q
conductor from frequent rides on the
car with her fiance. A friend assisted
him from the car, and she donned his
cap and took his place so that he would
not be compelled to continue the trip
while i'll. She made one round trip,
when her bctrothed rcjoined the car
and relieved her of the unpleasant
duties. They were afraid if he re-
ported sick the time would be lost, and
his standing as an employe would be
impaired.
She expressed n strong dislike for the
work, and declared she would never
again accept such position under any
circumstances, but when she accepted
the undertaking she was bound to re-
main at the post of duty. If her con-
ductor lover has ever entertained any
doubt as to her affection for him he is
now completely satisfied since she has
sufficiently proved it. From the way
nlckels poured Ill on that TRIP II looks as
if President Ycrllcs could make u paying
investment by hiring several lady con-
ductors-of course, exercising due rn-
gard for beauty.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC CON-
VENTION.

The Ohio Democratic Convention,
which assembled at Cleveland, July IA,
was one of Lne largest political con:
.ventions ever held in the State. Jas.
l.. Campbell, the present incumbent,
was nominated on the first ballot by
o vote Of SOB out of 700. The opposl:
lion TO Campbell was from Hamilton
county, in which the city of Cincin-
natl is situated, though he was placed
in nomination by Gen. Ryan, a dele
gate from that county. 1t grew out
of the action OF the Governor in op-
posing the schemes of q ring in that
city, and it is aided and Allotted by
John L. Mclean, Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, who is said 10 aspire to
seat in the United States Senate. 1t
is conceded by Republicans as we'll as
Democrats that the administration of
Governor Campbell has been able,
honest and incorruptible, and though
he may he opposed by rings and bosses
in Cincinnati he will receive the votes
of many Republican farmers, but if
money can defeat him he will not be
elected, as the "fat will be fried" I'M
sparingly out of monopolists in all
parts of the Union to prevent his
election.
In 1889 Campbell was elected Gov
ernor of Ohio 10y plurality of 1870
over Foraker, the total vote being
IA, ls7, of which HeIwig, Prohibition
list, received 26,5O4 votes.
The platform approves the action of
the Legislature in adopting the Aus
tralian ballot system, opposes class
legislation, favors tariff for the sup
port of the Government economically
administered, and graded income
tax.
The financial plank denounces the
decentralization of silver in 1873 by
the party then and now in power as
an iniqultous alteration of the money
standard in favor Of creditors and
against debtors, taxpayers and pro-
ducers, which by shutting off one
source of supply OF primary money
operates continually to increase the
value of gold, deDress prices, hamper
industry, and discourage enterprise,
and demands the reinstatement of
the constitutional standard of both
gold and silver, with free and un-
limited coinage of both metals.
The Convention nominated for
Governor man who, by honesty and
economy in the administration of his
office, has proved himself worthy of
the support of every taxpayer in the
State, and placed him upon platform
which every honest man, who be.
lieves that governments should be
conducted for the greatest good of
the greatest number, will heartily en-
dorse, and cordially approve.-[Reno

The Crops in Our State.

The reports received by the State
Board of Agriculture since the thresh.
ing of the wheat crop was commenced
warrant Secretary Edge 10 changing
his estimate of the yield slightly. The
fiual crop reports of the board indicate
that the wheat crop of 1891 will
amount to 22,5000OO bushels from
100000 ncres, or at the average rate
of l73 bushels per acre. In Chester,
Lancaster and other southeastern
counties crops of over 35 bushels per
acre have been reported. Of this crop
fully 100000 was used for seed,
leaving 100000 for home use and
for sale. AT present prices it is safe
to estimate the value of the crop at
$22,500,000. This is the largest crop
for a number of years.
The board estimates the oats crop
Of the past year at 81, 100000 bushels
from 100000 acres, or an average
yield of 26I bushels per acre. The
yield of potatoes is estimated at 49,.
250,00 bushels from $4,000 acres.
But inasmuch as this crop is still rot.
ting quite badly in some localities, il
is impossible to even estimate the
yield in marketable potatoes. The
hay crop of 1891 is estimated at
100000 tons cut from 255, 1000 acres,
or at the average of 1880 pounds per
acre. The yield of corn, based upon
the reports which have already reach.
ed the Board, warrants an estimate Of
44,000,0 900 bushels from 1,325,000
acres, or at the average rate of 1872
bushels per acre.
Secretary Edge estimates that il
these crops were at once turled into
CASH they would pay the farmers OF
the State not less than $4,000, 900.
The c3ndition of the live stock is
good.
