Russia Makes Strong Demands on the

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May LIN spite
of the recent threat of M. Nelidoff, the
Russian ambassador here, another
Russian transport, carrying men and
materials for work on the Trans-Siber-
ian railway, has been detained one day
in the Bosphorus. The Turkish COM
mandant threatened to fire if the vessel
attempted to pass. NJ. Nelidoff has
sent strong note to the porte, in wich
he demands 5000 damages and the
dismissal Of the commandant and the
absolutely free passage for Russian
vessels sailing under the mercantile
flag. He denies the porte's recent as
sertion of power to take up a question
which is not political, but merely a

Wheat At Home And Abroad


For the first time in a long while con-
dltlons warrant the belief that Amer
lea, in the event of the realization of
present crop prospects, will find pro-
titable market abroad for it's products.
Big crops in this country and small
ones i'll Europe mean an era of pros
perity for both our railways and farm
ers. The London Standard publishes
long and careful review of the out
look, in which it says that the steady
rise in wheat reviyes the hopes of the
English farmer, adding that wheat
will probably reach the highest price
in many years, the principal cause of
the rise being TIA failure of foreign
crops: The ,early sm rs crops Of France
.zsss ~ Pstslz aass ahs aaa9sge, II ans Il
same paper says the deficiency will be
at least 10000, 900 quarters, adding:
SIT is expected that cold winds and
frost have destroyed the French crops.
Germany, Holland and Belgium all
furnish pessimist reports. In Rou-
mania there is decreased wheat area
and in India there has been bad
wheat season. The only exception is
in Hungary, where there are better
prospects, but it is almost certain that
the worlds wheat consumption will
exceed the production computed.
Whatever the magnitude Of. Americas
crop may be, it will not be sufficient to
cover the European deficit, thus COM
peiling an extensive draft upon the
reserves for the third year in success
sion. The increased home consump-
tion, decreased wheat area, owing to
the spread of population, and recourse
to scientific tillage in order to repair
the waste of first settlers, thus increas-
ing the cost of production, must inevi-
tably remove the American farmers
formidable competition in European
markets, and allow the English farmer
to look forward to a prosperous future.

LEARNlNG THE LESSON.

A very pointed instance of how
the laboring men are getting their
eyes opened on the tariff question,
comes from the city of Trenton, in
New Jersey, where they had a city
election last week. There are seven
sanitary pottery-ware manufactures
in the city, and they have monop-
oily of the sanitary-ware trade of
this country. In 1888 the potters
employed in these factories voted
solidly for the Republican ticket in
the belief that the tariff protected
the price Of their wages, and were
SO assured by their republican en-
ployers. The republicans were the
victors, and in the Mckinley bill
these manufacturers were given an
increased tariff protection. Right
in the midst of most profitable
season the manufacturers demanded
reduction in wages amounting to
nearly a3 per cent. The working.
men could not see the justice of
this demand, especially as the rate
of tariff taxation lad just been in
creased for the alleged purpose of
increasing wages. The potters
refused to accept the reduction, and
a lockout was the result. This was
a practical illustration of how much
tariff could do for them, and the
lesson was apparently well learned.
So much feeling was aroused over
the matter that the recent municipal
election was fought sd earel u onks I'M

been blicsn, and thk republican
mayor was a candidate: for re-elec-
ton. The result was that the dem
ocratic candidate was elected by
over 1000 majorlty.-The Common

ONLY SIXTEEN YEARS.

gestive of all that is young and tender
and inexperienced, yet, viewed in the
light of events, what an age it signifies.
What a mighty panorama Of changes a
sweet sixteener has beheld in this new
world wonderland. When the much
esteemed Yanktonian contemporary
was founded in April 1875 just sixteen
years ago,-there were but about 80 900
people in the whole Territory Of Dako-
ia, out of which two states have since
been formed. with an aggregate popu-
lation today, of coo, 900. Then, Fargo,

DlScuSSluS Iue ueLClL III VIC Nd-
tional treasury Hon. VIM. Springer,
of Illinois says that he is not at all
surprised that such state Of affairs
exists; "You Know said he, ga fel-
low can't spend his money, and at
the same time keep it in his pocket.
Something must be the matter, when,
within a weeks time, three or four
statements relative to the finances of
the treasury are made public. If
there is no reason for uneasiness,
and no deficit is staring the treasury
in the face, then why the assurance
that we still have surplus of $780,
100000 or more in the treasury?
Suppose there is small surplus in
the treasury, how long will it hold
out with the government receipts
dropping off at the rate shown in
the debt statement for April? If
the secretary should issue new bonds
that would be an admission Of de-
fcit. The republicans knew what
would follow their extravaganza.
The democrats warned them of the
results that would surely come from
their recklessness, and the condition
of the treasury today is due to the
billion dollar congress. The $l,-
ooo, 100000 which was appropriated
by the Fifty-frst congress for the
too fiscal years, does not include all
the money appropriated, for there
were continuing appropriations
which may necessitate an additional
taxation Of the people in order to
meet the demands of the govern.

tions will run far up into the mil.

sugar bounty for which $40, 900
will be required; q little over ST..
900. 900 year must be paid on the
ocean mail subsidy, and how much
more no one can know until the
postmasterAg general makes his CON
tracts. No one knows the exact
amount it will take to pay the In.

the bill was passed it wss estimated
that it would take about $l5, ,ooO, 900

DAKOTA WHEAT,

Abou: 10000, 900 bushels of wheat
was exported from Dakota last year.
The greater portion of oar wheat is

with inferior grades and but few con-
sumers in the East get genuine -four

practiced by millers of Minneapolis
and other cities, our wheat would have
still greater reputation than what it
has. That the adulteration practiced
by millers and wheat buyers is detri-
mental to our pockets is apparent. A
bushel. of wheat grown in any other
state is not worth intrinsically as much
by ten cents bushel as ours, but brings
just as much in the market. The
miller takes bushe1 Of our wheat and
mixes with inferior grades and sells in
the Eastern market as flour "from
Dakota wheat One way to remedy
this evil, would be to have Touring
mills in every town, grindup our own
wheat. and ship it abroad, direct from
Dakota. There would be great advan-
tages derived from this plan, inasmuch
as it would place our great product on
the worlds market unadulterated and
the demand for our flour would in
crease the price. If all the grain grown
in our etate was ground here it would
give employment to hundreds of men,
it would keep lots of money in the
state that goes to enrich other locali-
ties, and would place our products
ahead of all competitors. A great
milling company has lately been con-
solidated in Minneapolis and they ex-
pect to be supplied with wheat from
the golden fields of North Dakota. It
would be great boom to our state, if
We could have similar consolidation,
and not allow them bushel of our

rusal Of the leading editorial in the

Editor bennett had decided to array
himself against the proposition to
build county court house. The
present attitude of the Globe savors
of inconsistency and smatters Of
local prejudice very unbecoming to
an editor-supposed to be possessed
of broad-gauged ideas. Heretofore
the Globe has persistently called the
attention of the people to the fact
that they paid too much rent for a
county court house and has often
urged the necessity of the county
owning its buildings-at one
time going SO far as to urge the peo-
pie to erect that bailding at Milton.

posed to the interest and convenience
of the great majority of the people
was directly favorable to the inter

JOHN MADDUX KILLED.
Sad Result OF a Singular Mishap In the
Turquoise Mines Near Cerrillos.

John Maddux was killed in the shaft
OF the Allan Storey turquoise mines, eight

evening, He was engaged in the bottom
OF the shaft, seventy-fve feet deep, and
had fred the last blast of the day and
started up the shaft in the bucket when
the rope broke and let him fall, a dis
lance of about sixty feet. Scarcely had
his body struck the bottom Of the shalt
when the blast of giant powder, he
had but few moments before
set match to, exploded. Death
was almost instantaneous. One
of the men on the surface went down to
his rescue as soon as the blast exploded
and Maddux gasped, "this is the end Of
me-" and died. His body was completely
covered with loose rock thrown down by
the explosion, only his head being Wis
! lble. Maddux was young man widely
known to the mining fraternity and gener
