BLUE EARTH COUNTY.
: Its Fine Location, Great Resources.
and Beautiful Homes
LOCATION.


Blue Earth county is located nearly
in the center of the state of Minneso-
ia. from east to west, and in the sec
ond tier of counties from the south
ern border. 1t has an area Of nearly
100000 acres, and taxable wealth of
several millions. The soil is princi
pally a black, sandy loan, and eX-
ceedingly rich and fertile.
AGRICULTURE.
The county is mostly under cultiva-
tion, and the principal crops raised
are wheat, oats, corn, barley, rye, fax,
potatoes and hay, all of which yield
abundantly. The wheat which has
already been threshed this month has
not yielded less than 80 bushels to the
acre, No. l hard, the highest grade
possible. Thegeneralayerage offspring
wheat. which is considered to be bet
ter wheat than winter wheat, will be
20 to % bushels to the acre. Flax will
easily go 10 bushels to the acre, and
oats so to so bushels. The average
annual product is but little less.
FRUITS.
Apples, plums, grapes, Strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries do very
well and are of fine size and flavor.
Grapes are sure crop when properly
cared for. Several varieties of hardy
apples produce a large yield. 1t can
almost be said that it is the natural
home of the blackberry, as by far the
finest on the market are the home
grown.
VEGETABLES.
This soil is peculiarly adapted to
the raising of vegetables. Potatoes,
onions, melons, peas, beans, greens,
etc., can be raised in large quantities
on small pieces Of ground, and a few
acres will comfortably support fam
lily.
GRASSES.
The wild hay crop is large one and
finds a ready market at good price.
Timothy, blue grass and clover yield
from one and half to two tons per
acre at each cutting, and can be cut
two or three times year. 1t re-
quires but one planting.
HORSES.
This county is rapidly coming to !
the front as horse county, some of
the finest studs in the Northwest be-
ing found here. The breeding of i'm |
ported, draught and trotting horses
is being more and more engaged in,
and is a source of profit, as the de-
mand is constant and good prices pre-
vail. There are no diseases among
horses or cattle.
CATTLE.
Blue Earth has long been noted for
the excellence of her cattle. Herds
of Holsteins. Herefords, Durhams,
Jerseys, Guernseys. Angus and Short
horns are becoming the rule and not
the exception.
SHEEP AND HOGS.
The sheep industry is growing and
is at present one OF the most profita-
bic that can be engaged in. The
wool clip is annually increasing and
the product is very fine. Mutton
shipping and packing is becoming an
industry in Mankato.
MARKETS.

JUST ONE BENEFIT OF PROTECTION

The decision of the board of naval ex-
perts appointed by Secretary Tracy to
report upon the relative powers of re-
sistance of foreign and domestic armor
plate will be decidedly satisfactory to all
true Americans who resisted the danger
Gus but seductive Democratic heresy of
free ships. The cry for free ships was a
Democratic slogan for years as free trade
now is among the members of that party
in the Eastern and Northern States and
free silver is in the Southern and West
ern. Democrats insisted that ships could
not be built in this country. We had
not, according to their claim, either men,
material or machinery.
Why not, they asked permit merchants
to buy ships when they could get them
cheapest and float the American flag, if
they saw fit from the stern. That would,
of course, ruin what little ship building
was done in the country for the domes-
tic trade, but what mattered that so long
as the flag would again take its place on
the ocean among the maritime powers of
the world IL was at times difficult for
Republicans to fight the theory, but they
battled in Congress, and on the hustings
for the idea that nothing should have
the protection of the American flag that
was not produced on American soil.
They succeeded.
The theory Of free ships has been rele-
gated 10 the rear, as other doctrines
advocated 10y the Democratic party have
been, and as others will be, until that
party ceases 10 exist.
The turning out of armor plates by the
Bethlehem Iron Company at Bethlehem,
Pa, and bv Carnegie d Co. at Pitts
burgh that are declared the best i'm the
world, is the direct result of protection
to the ship building industry granted by
n Republican Congress and "A Republican
President Republicans have insisted
that American vessels shall be
built in America. They have in-
sisted that American war ships shall
be built of American material from
American designs. and shall be plated
with American steel The Republican
party has aided as well rs insisted and
the result is that while but a few years
ago the only iron ship yards in this coun-
/ try were near Philadelphia, recent al.

RECENT RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The railroad accidents reported dur
ing the present week are of nature
that may well startle even the
most hardened traveller, especially since
they have occurred on roads supposed to
be well equipped and well managed. On
Monday collision of freight trains near
Hartford caused the loss of one life. On
Tuesday the Chicago express, on the
New York Central, crashed into Croton
local near Tarrytown, and by good luck
rather than good management an ap-
palling loss of life was prevented from
making many homes sorrowful. On
Wednesday car on the Harlem road be-
came derailed, toppled over and crushed
the life out of two persons while many
others were severely hurt.
On Thursday a passenger train run
ming at the rate of fifty miles an hour
dashed into the rear of a construction
train on the New Jersey Central and four
families were made fatherless. Yester-
day outdid the record in the wreck at
East Thompson, where two freight
and two fast passenger trains were piled
into one awful mass with loss of eight
lives and the intliction of injuries more
or less severe on a score of persons.
The multiplicity of these disasters
proves that there must be negligence and
probably criminal negligence in quar-
ters where the public naturally and
with right expect measures shall be
taken to insure proper protection to life
and property. To successfully conduct
the affairs Of great railroad discipline
is as necessary as it is in the army under
a successful commander. Any lack of
discipline, in the abstract at least, verges
upon the criminal.
In four of the five accidents mentioned
here the authorities will be called upon
to make investigation. Coronors' jurys
will sit and hear evidence. If they are
like the ordinary coroners jurys they
will look wise and bring in verdicts that
will hurt no one. But the public-the
people who are compelled to ride from
place to place on the railroads-wil de-
mand that the Investigations be made
searching ones, and that the blame be
placed where it belongs, and properly
belongs-whether it be poor brakeman
who was shivering on the rear end of a
caboose when the heavy locomotive
dashed into and crushed the life out of
him, or the elegantly dressed railroad
director in his well-appointed office.

unlikely that Brazil might have post
poned the change in its form Of govern
ment until his death. The country,
under his rule, was republic in all but
name, and advanced rapidly in wealth
and power. Railways, telegraph lines,
steamships and manufactures were built
and free education was established every
where. Brazil was poor at the time OF
Dom Pedro's accession; when he was
banished he left rich and strong nation.
The sentiment in favor of republican
form of government grew up naturally
and was independent of any dissatisfac-
tion with the Emperor personally. 1t
has been claimed that the act of the
Princess label in freeing the slaves
made enemies Of the planters. but the
fact seems to be that the leaders of pub
lie opinion in Brazil had long settled it
in their minds that after Dom Pedro
was TO come new order of things. The
report of a proposed abdication in favor
of label precipitated the crisis, and
opened for Brazil an era of political un-
rest, growth and education, and for her
broken and unhappy ruler two brief
years of heartbreak and desolation.

DOM PEpRO,s DEATH.

II is impossible not TO find the circum-
stances under which the ex-Emperor of
Brazil passed away most pathetic. Since
the hour of his departure from Brazil he
has been failing in health and tortured
with the pangs,of homesickness. When
the news of the revolt against Da
Fonseca's dictatorship reached him the
flame of hope flickered once more in his
breast, and his son-in-law, the Comte d.
Eu persuaded him that the hour was
about 10 dawn when he might return.
His manifesto, making public offer
TO come back to them. was hardly noticed
by the Brazilians, and this neglect broke
his heart. Mental suffering aggravated
the disease under which he was laboring.

saken. lay down on his bed and died. II

vertisements published by the govern
new vessels have drawn responses from
Bath, Me-, from Boston, from Baltimore,
from Philadelphia, from San Francisco
and even from Dubuque, Iowa. Some
of these ship yards are equal to any in
the world. The iron and steel works at
Bethlehem and Pittsburgh cannot be ex-
celled in any nation on the face Of the
globe. The several industries entering
into the building of ship give employ
ment to thousands of mechanics and
laborers.
If the Democrats could have had their
way all this would have been lost to the
country.
