funny incident the other day while waiting
in the Union depot for a friend There were
few people, and one among them soon
attracted my attention. A tall young girl,
with an expression on her face that became
by turns expectant, pleased and then
dependent, was walking restlessly to and
fro, every once in awhile consulting her
watch, evidently not having much faith In
the timepiece that adorns the wall
As the trains began to arrive she grew
more excited, but finally retreated to one
corner and endeavored to compose herself.

Death Of an Immigrant Woman.
From the Detroit Free Press
A burning summer sun had beaten down
on the prairie for days Furnace-hke, the
south winds csme racing out Of the pulslng
haze at the far horizon. The sky seemed Of
copper and the foor-like plain once emer-
aid disk was tinged by the heat with gray
ish brown.
But one object broke the monotonous

wagon, its Tapping canvas top giving scant
shelter to the emiZraut and his wife
cgouched within. Their journey has been
long, and fever thrObs in the WJman's
veins.
Suddenly the man looks up, startled.
Their search for home is over.
"Seel' he cries in joy.
They have come out on the edge Of a wide
reaching valley. Lines Of dense-leaved
billowy forest bend and sway in a gentle
breeze a lake with here and there touch

and his strong arm lifts the fainting wife

Rest is there, and hope and joy. The

far behind; but now the journey over tie

Hungrily, earnestly they feast their eyes

A cry Of pain and disappointment surges
to the woman's lips as she sees again a
dreary length Of plain whose level lines

on her heat-filled pillow.
The mirage has lifted. The emigrant is

At times the opponents of protec-
ton for native industries seem to be
Englishmen, in their anxiety to thrust
the English free trade on the country.
Just now they are frantic about reci-
procity, and in their plaintive argu-
ments that Brazil does not get fair
share of the bargain they appear, for
the time being, to imagine themselves
Brazilians. They are always anything
but utAmericans. But the real trouble
with John Bull in this Brazilian mat
ter is the fact that Uncle Sam will
secure concessions from the govern
ment of Brazil in the matter of COM
merce between that country and the
United States not granted to j. b.
Hence his tears because Brazil "does
not get fair share of the bargain"

Mower County Transcript: We
desire to call the special attention of
our democratic free trade friends to a
few solid facts, which like all other
facts present the only convincing ar
gument known to poor, weak doubling
human nature. When the Mckinley
bill was pending, and indeed after it
had become law, they insisted that
it was absurd to put tariff on linen,
because this country could not build
and successfully operate linen mills.
The tariff was put on linen, and the
result is, that three linen mills are al
readyin operation in the New England
States, while others are being equipped
as rapidly as possible at Minneapolis,
Mimi, at Eau Claire, Wis, and at
Sioux Falls, S. D. So much for one
free trade prediction. Now, for anoth-
er. All during last campaign the
working men were told by democrat
ic editors and orators that the tariff
on tin plates put tax on his dipper
and dinner bucket, Notwithstanding
they knew, or should have known,
that the tin plate sectiongo gof the Nc
Kinley bill would not become law
until July l, 1891. Now for the effect
of that law upon American industries.
Before its enactment not pound of
tin plate was made in the United
States, now American mills are turn
ing it out by the ton and more than
dozen large mills are in the process of
erection In various sections of the
country, and the tin mines in thi 1
country are being for the first tir ne
proftably worked, and, most imr or
tant of all, the price of tin plat is
today, in Chicago and New FORK,
twenty per cent less than it we s last
September and dealers are pre- dieting
that it will be still cheaper after the
new mills get to work. T his is not
campaign bluster, but it is a plain
statement of hard, solid facts, which
can be fully proven.

SOIL CULTIVATION.
A FEW. VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS
TO MINNESOTA FARMERS.

How Shall We Cultivate the Soil of Our
q Dry Prairie Regions to Make Them
More Productive ?---A Practical Prairie
Farmer Tells His Experience For the
Benefit of Others.
The following article was written by
prominent farmer of Minnesota, in a
spirit of inquiry, and is printed in the
belief that it is worthy of investigation
and trial-by not only the farmers of
Minnesota and the Dakotas, but of the
more Westerly semi-arid region:
One of the most important questions
before the agriculturalists of Minnesota
and the Dakotas is this: What shall be
done with our dry prairie soils to make
them more productive? Congress is ag-
itated by the irrigation question, but,
like all large bodies, it moves slowly,
and the farmer that waits for salvation
by congress will probably only wait to
meet his doom. am not a believer in
Legislative salvation to any great extent
in anything, but have great faith in
salvation by individual work. As an
agricultural people in the nineteenth
century we are "perishing" largely as
they did in ancient times, when the
prophet said, "our people perish through
lack of knowledge"
Considerable experience and observa-
ton have led me to study the treatment
of a)ils in the dry prairie regions of
western Minnesota and the Dakotas.
They are very dissimilar from central
and eastern Minnesota, and farming
methods that would be approved In the
latter would prove in many ways a
failure in the former sections.
CAPILLARITY OF SOIL.
In the cultivation of this dry soil l
think there is one central thought that
should always be kept in mind, VIZ,
the capillarity of the soil; I will here
use sketch that will make this matter

We see by School Education that
county school superintendents are re-
quired to inspect the school houses,
apparatus, libraries, grounds, and out
buildings in their several counties and
report to the department of Public In
struction at the close of the school
year. This viii be a very impor-
tant part of their work, and it may be
hoped that that there will be no white
washing. Let us have facts just as
they are found to exist. They may
not in all cases fatter our vanity, but
they will show, better than almost
anything else, the progress we are
making. Where a superintendent
finds well kept grounds and decent
out houses in but few of his districts,
he may know the people need educa-
ting; that the schools and churches
have not yet brought round that era
Of culture and true refinement for
which good men labor and wait.

Ovens Head Is Level.

Had Hon. S. M. Owen occupied the
position of state senator in the present
legislature in place of Ignatius Don
nelly, the Alliance party would have
had a lleader worthy of their cause,
We believe he has more real good
practical brains than all of the other
would-be Alliance leaders in the state
of Minnesota, and should he turn up
in the United States senate two years
hence we would have no tea1 to shed.
But what we started to say, was that
Owens head ise&el on the interest
and usury question. In a re cent in
ter view Mr.. Owen expressed himself
as follows on this subject:
lido not believe it is fair or lust to
place such extreme penalties upt IN the
holder of outside capital. We will
suppose you are in Minnesota and
that you live here. You are a the
ground, you are familiar with th g laws,
you can be at any time reached if you
break the laws, you take yo IT own
chances if YOU put your heae in the
lions mouth. But now SUPP ose you
are in the East. Suppose ye III are an
honorable money loaner wi 10 would
scorn to do dishonest act. You want
to place money in Minnesc ,ta. You
send your money and put it in the
hands of an agent You may have
the utmost confidence in hat agent,
but if you know that if he should be
led to take little highe sr than the
regular rate and that he law was
such that his act would forfeit your
interest and principal, would you be
apt to take any chances in the matter?
l think not.
Now continued Mr. Owen, 1--WE
have already in this tate a law provid-
ing severe penalties for higher than
the regular rate, Whatever the rate

reasonable penalt les on parties having

ments makes q better job and does the
work more quickly than plow, and SO
makes what is termed 1dust blanket"
that prevents the moisture ascending to
pass through it and then be carried
away by our enemy, the wind.
The dotted line again represents the
seed sown with press drill, running
east and west. Here the seed and young
plant is in happy juxtaposition to the
base Of moisture supply by reason of un-
broken capillaries making good connec-
ton, and overhead the dust blanket
plays the part of 4Jonah's gourd" and
protects from sun and heated winds.
ADDED SUGGESTIONS TO THE FOREGOING.
We close this article by making a few
points that space forbids enlarging
upon:
First-Seed with press drill east and
west, SO that the north and south winds
(prevailing in spring. will fill the drill
marks with fine soil, good for crops and
saving to the land.
Second Spread manure on the sur
face after sowing, or upon clover
growth. Such manuring makes an
other kind of mulch and aids the dust
blanket of the pulverizers.
Third-In case of dry seeding time,
particularly when the surface soil is
fine, run slanting-tooth drag over the
seeding. The seed is beyond the reach
of the harrow tooth, and you will de-
stroy the growth of the surface weed
seeds that always viii grow, and perfect
the dust blanket already made.
Fourth shall we break up the
hard sub-soil? Set clover plants at
work. They will send roots down
through the sub-soil, YiI parallel the
capillaries, but will not destroy them
There are sections of this great dry
prairie region where the, clover plant
may not be successfully grown, but
over the larger part it can be grown.
Glover is a cheap laborer, pulling up
from beneath and leaving at hand for
the crop much that we need. 1t is also
the cheapest kind of breaking team.

Our ashington correspondent, in
letter Of recent date, writes us as
follows. Ex-Speaker Reed in his sum-
mer retirement beneath the umbra-
g sous shade of the spruce gum vine
may contemplate with whatever salts
faction there is in it, that only one
speaker of the house and he Demo
crat-James X. Polk-ever became
president of the United States. Three
others were nominated for the presi-
dency: Henry Clay, John Bell, who
ran in 1860 with Mr.. Everett, and Jas.
Ct. Blaine. Mr.. Colfax secured the
vice presidency by his popularity as
speaker. James K, moreover, like
Thomas B., was stalwart partisan in
the chair, and was refused a vote of
thanks by the opposition. It would
hardly be human if Mr.. Reed in the
next congress, as the leader Of a uni
ted and harmonious minority, did not
cherish some memories and possibly
indulge in some reprisals. He will be
the leader-the big, fearless, expert
ced, aggressive personality upon his
side. Upon the other side will be a
great, leaderless, unwieldly majority
and unmanageable mob. What pic
mic for Thomas Bracket Reed. Will
it not be wonder if he does not oc-
casionally pick up some of his old
time assailants as big dog would
pick up fife pup, and shake some of
the conaeit out of him? In this pros
pect some of the gentlemen on the
Democratic side are not happy.
The reciprocity treaty between the
United States and Brazil has been
promulgated in that country. It will

ced in the proclamation of the presi-

ed in the arrangement made between
Mr.. Mendonca and Mr.. Blaine, and
that certain other merchandise from
the United States would be admitted
at rs per cent reduction from the
regular established rates of duty. The
newspapers juct received from Brazil
indicate considerable opposition to
the treaty, which is however, attributed
to the British and German interests,
