The management of the Ha ll-Fitzsim-
mons fight ought to have selected Min
neapolis instead of st. Paul. Prize
fighting has become quite the fad we
there, and very little is thought Of it.
And it is treated very gracefully by the
press, too. The Journals headlines on
Tuesday say that "The Black Pearl does
Mr.. Ellingsworth in a smooth, easy
STYLE" which being interpreted, means
that Ellingsworth, a white man from the
Pacific coast, was knocked down and out
in the fifth round by a very homely. ig-
norant black man with a very small
head and a very large neck. That's the
kind of an exhibition-"manly art of
self-defense'-that people pay from $40
to $50 to witness-and they all-or near
ly aldo it.

age value of our annual exports Of wheat
and flour for the last seven years has
been $~108,0OO,0O0, the average export
price (reducing the -four to wheat) hav-
ing been 874 cents per bushel. Should
the exports out of this crop reach 200,-
100000 bushels and the export price
average 81, the value of Il shipments
in 1892 would exceed by nearly $685.
100000 the average yearly shipments Of
the last v years. On this basis of
valuation the present crop, estimated at
54O,00O,OOO bushels, would give to the
farmers, millers, carriers and handlers a
total result of $54O,OOO,OOO, against $372,-
100000 as the value of last years crop Of
4O0,O0O.0OO, valued at an average export
price of 1872 cents per bushel. Results
like these upon our great wheat crop
means an invaluable boon to our great
agricultural industry and to all other in
dustries dependent upon it, the effects
of which cannot fail to be soon felt. in a
marked revival of both our internal and
external commerce.

only expense to each county or city is
the cost of the instruments. Weekly re-
ports of the weather and condition of
crops will be sent into headquarters,
compiled and forwarded to Washington.
1t is on these reports the government is
sues its weekly crop bulletins for each
state. As this is a matter of much i'm
%portance, of course the newspapers in all
parts of the state will call attention to-
the circular letter of Director t'allon and
urge upon the proper authorities the i'm
%portance of haste in the matter that some
benefits may be derived this year. Coun-
ty commissioners, or village or city coun-
ellis, OF organizations of business men, or
farmers of any kind are the proper bodies
to take hold of this matter.

The farmers alliance and knights of
labor had a very exciting session down
in the Third and Fourth congressional
districts of Texas and some of the
speeches we're quite infiamatory. Sena-
tor PETER of Kansas and others from
outside states were present. Leo R. Hoods
of Van zant county, one of the speak
ers, predicted a revolution in the event
relief fails through the ballot, and said
that John Brown succeeded Lloyd Gar
rison, and that people intend to break
the reign of plutocracy p~eaceably if
they can, but forcibly if they must.
President Powers of Indiana said he had
looked across a gun barrel at the south
not many years ago, but he was here
now to take them by the hand in a fight
to the death against the two old parties
who were two old dogs t~rotting in the
same path. There had been a bloody
chasm between the north and south for
twenty-five years, but the people will fill
the chasm with dead politicians, wipe
out monopoly and plutocracy and restore
the government to the people. It is re-
ported that structures upon both the old
parties were heartily cheered and some
were wild enough to declare if Kansas,
Minnesota, Illinois and other northern
states could wipe out their small repub-
lican majorities the great democratic
majority of over 100000 in Texas would
vanish at the next election in the face of
the alliance phalanx.

OF the outlook for business this fall
the advance proof of Henry Clews &
Co.'s Financial Weekly for the week end
ing July 25th says:
Our agricultural crops, upon which
nearly one-halt OF population are
directly dependent, afford upon the
whole q promise Of unparalleled results.
What quantity of wheat we shall export,
q leave to others to predict; what guam
tlty we could export, 1 leave to be in
ferred from the fact that during the wear
ending July l, 1891, we exported lO6, $780,
GOO bushels Of wheat and -four, with q
crop Of 100000 bushels, which was 14O,-
100000 bushels less than the probable
crop of the present year; from which it
may be inferred that our actual capacity
for export out Of this years crop viii be
considerably over 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
our highest previous export having been
I1S6,OO0,OOO bushels in 1881. The aver

The Fargo Argus publishes a dis
patch from Bismarck to the effect that
the attorney general had rendered an
opinion that there was no authority of
law to pay the printers for publishing
the recent itinery of the railroad COM
mlssionere on the annual inspection trip.
It turns out that this was his first i'm
preston, but on a more careful investi-
CATION of the statute he has deemed it
best to advise the auditor that warrants
should issue for the bills therein in
CURED. This will be better news to the
printers of the state and they will un-
doubtedly be glad that General Spencer
has concluded the law was broad enough
to take them in out of the wet.

The Minneapolis Journal, which is OPP
posing the idea of commercial or any other
kind of union or business combination
of the cities of Minneapolis and st. Paul,
overestimates and misjudges the impor-
lance of Minneapolis, or rather mis-.
understands the feeling Of the people on
the outside. It speaks of what union
would cost Minneapolis in the way of
sacrifice of prestige and performances
as the great city of the northwest" As
a matter of fact, the people of the north
west-the country tributary to the head
of navigation and the falls of st. An
thony on the Mississippi river-are not
so narrow and exclusive in their ideas as
to be!bound up entirely ia the success and
growth of n great city at that point.
The people of the northwest care no
more for Minneapolis than they do for
st. Paul. 1t is the Twin Cities we are
proud to speak of and point to as the
result OF the resources and development
of this mighty northwest empire-not
Minneapolis-not st. Paul. Nor will the
northwest ever change in this respect.
These two cities may war,a,ingle all they
please and pursue any policy they please,
the sentiment Of the people who are
building up the country that "brings the
grist. to their mills" is impartial. Sue
cess to the Twin Cities,

a purely ministerial capacity. Ofcourse
the real contention is whether the salary
is $1,000 or $500 per annum, but the
case on its merits has not come up yet.

The Minneapolis Journals reasons for
opposition to the proposition to tender
Tom Lowry a banquet in testimony of
the appreciation of the citizens of Min
neapolis and st. Paul for the excellent
street car system that gentleman has
provided for the Twin cities are, to say
the least, very transparent and foolish.
1t is afraid such a meeting of the leading
citizens of the two cities would be con-
strued as ar endorsement of, or in some
way used as an argument in favor of a
unifcation of the two municipalities.
The Journal is not in favor of "letting
down the bars" between the two cities.
On the contrary, it wants an insur-
mountable wall built.

A GENTLEMAN of this state who recent

GENTLEMAN of this state who recently
returned from a gathering of settlers
near the southern line reports that a
large number OF farmers we're present
and in conversation with them he dis
covered that their opinion was that the
third party movement in South Dakota
had reached its food and would grow
smaller in the future. The soldier ele
ment OF the state would be solidly against
the deal, too. They seemed to work out
their salvation in the lines of their old
party affiliations rather than run after
the new and strange gods.

In order to back up Potter's ''evidence
of Acknowledgement" argument, the Grand
Forks Herald publishes a lot of figures
-comparisons of the republican MAORI
ties of 1889 and 1S9O-to show the re-
publican losses. cit is said that Gig
ures never lie," which is true, no doubt,
but they can frequently be so manipu-
lated as to answer the same purpose.
The Herald is a manipulation. In show
ing the republican losses in 1890 from
the vote of 1889 the Herald fails to state
that the total vote in 1890 was nearly
1900 less than in 1889. It fails to give,
as n of the causes Of reduced republic
can majorities, the position of the repub-
lican platform on the prohibition ques-
ton. It fails to give, as one of the rea-
sons, the fact that the editor of the Her.
aid, during the 1890 campaign, gave con-
slant aid and comfort to the enemy by
frequent stabs at the republican nomi-
nee for congress. It fails to st ate that
while the republican majorities of 1889
and 1890 compared show a loss, a com.
parison of the democratic vote also
shows a loss in the case of several of the
candidates. It fails to state that the Of
feet of the passage of the tariff bill was
disastrous in North Dakota as in all
other granger republican strongholds
stood and were misrepresented. If the
Herald would follow Colonel Warnock's
advice and endeavor to do a little har-
monizing itself instead of "disorganiz-
ing" it might have a beneficial effect on
the republican party.

EDITOR GRAY is again quoted as
threatening some INSIDE history" on
that old Commonwealth deal in which
Senator Hansbrough was implicated.
He is also quoted as calling the senator
a liar. The people care little about this
matter, and it is difficult to see wherein
the chief contestants hope to get even.
It's about a stand off. Hansbrough has
a six year term in the United States
senate and Gray has a newspaper. In
fact it looks as though H%ansbrough had
the best paying job. Gray had better
charge that $500 to Experience &C.
count.

PRESIDENT Lowry, of the 500 line,
sends a prompt reply to the congratula-
tory telegram sent him by the citizens of
Bismarck. His telegram says: "Many
thanks for your telegram. The 500 road
will do it's share toward developing
North Dakota" This is a conservative
dispatch-just such a keen-cut, cautious
and business-like document as could be
expected from such a thoroughly con-
servative fnancier. That Bismarck and
North Dakota has a friend in MI. Lowry
goes without saying-still it argues we'll
to have him say it. Mr.. Lowry's faith
was shown by his Investments long ago,

HENRY CLEws & Co. issue a special
circular in which the condition of the
wheat market is touched upon as fol-
lows:
The new crop of wheat is Weighing heav-
lily on the market just now, and, as we
foreshadowed in our last letter, prices
have continued to yield slowly even when
news Of a strengthening nature is receiv-
ed The near options have shown the most
weakness owing to thessfact that the large
short interest in those options had been
largely eliminated, and the threatened
corner in the July option which was
made possible by the exceedingly small
stocks on hand, especially in New York
has thereby been averted. There has also
been free liquidation of long wheat, ow-
ing to heavier receipts Of new wheat
than were general looked for so early in
the season. The western farmers gener.
ally appear to be in better circumstances
financially than previous years, and
therefore in position to hold the great
er portion of their wheat for q while, as
they are believers in higher prices later
in the: season. The crop and the in.
terror movement of the new wheat is the
one aDsOrDl0g Topic at n present time,
and although the foreign situation and
the prospective demand for our wheat
arising from it, is given careful consider
alton, it seems to take a place of second
airy Importance, as it is looked upon as
being the basis Of a higher range of
prices later on, but not at present.
Everything in connection with the'91 crop
is as it has been for some time, in a highly
hourishing condition, and although the
next two or three weeks are the most
critical of the season, there seems to
exist few fears of any important deteri-
Grafton in spring wheat. The harvest
ing Of winter wheat has now reached the
northern portion of the belt, and threah-
ing returns are extremely satisfactory in
most cases. There is undoubtedly q
disposition to hold wheat back from the
market, for throughout the west the idea
appears to be growing that the brisk
foreign demand is bound to cause higher
prices before the end of the CROP year.
These views are, certainly not without
foundation, for, as we have before point.
ed out, the European requirements will
be larger this year than for several years

his circuit and held court in every SUBJ

back at a pretty good record. There has
not been a disagreement by any jury in
any case, civil or criminal, and a verdict
of "guilty"has been found in every GRIM

existed between the bench and the bar
and the terms of court have not been
burdensome to the taxpayers. Judge
Winchester has reason to feel proud of
his record.

By holding back the grain the railroads

the prices would range much higher.
