Farmer Politicians VS.. Farm ers.

The reason why the farmer, in ma
ton governed as ours is, does not,
strong as he is numerically, control
party politics, is that his political in
terests are net distinct from those of
his neighbors who follow other Cccu-
palions. The farmer politician, who
loves the excitement of conventions
and is proud of the pamphlets and
platforms he has written, thunders
loudly of the rights" of which his
fellow farmers are deprived, and de-
vises new financial schemes which are
to benefit them and plague the dealers
in Wall street. But when the farmer
who is not politician drives to the
nearest village of an evening to make
his weekly purchases, he recognizes
no enemy in the men of other occupa-
tons whom he meets. His friend the
merchant is not known as 'shark."
He is proud of the acquaintance of
the local lawyer, and will wager a
small sum that he is smarter" than
the lawyer of the next town. He trusts
his life in the hands of physician,
and, what is almost as precious, his
surplus cash in the hands of the local
banker. What reason has he, when
election day comes, to put himself in
political opposition to all these men
whose opinion he respects, and "fock
by himself to the candidate of par
ty which seeks to capture him by the
name alone7-N.Y.E Evening Post.

mcnts by Gov. Merriam announced
last week were w. M. Liggett, of Ben
son, to succeed j. L. Gibbs as Rail

as Insurance Commissioner; A. X.
Finseth, of Kenyon, to succeed w. j.

The Boston Herald says of the lead
ing member of the firm of Barring
Bros, that for a man we'll advanced
in years, who has hitherto enjoyed an
income of 100000 per annum, to sur
render everything that he possesses
and take up clerkship at a salary of
$3.50 a year, may be hard reversal
to stand, but it is surely one that
should commend it's sufferer to the
kindly considerations of the world.
The other partners have also practical
ly divcsted themselves of all their
possessions.
Granite Falls has lost two of her
lest citizens during the past few
months. B. H. Pillsbury died some
time last fall, and last weeks papers
recorded the death of w. w. Pinney,
the builder and principal owner of the
Touring mills at Granite. Mr.. Pinney
had gone to California too late to ben
eft his health, death from Bright's
disease being ap earcntly fastened by
the trip. He died At Pasadena, and
his remains were brought back to
Granite for interment.
If the committee on temperance in
the state senate is fair index of the
other committees constituted by the
democratic alliance combine, the me-,
confederation has the science of "how
not to do it" down pretty fine. Lienau,
of the St. Paul Zeitung, with strong
affiliations for the unlimited coinage
of lager beer, is chairman, and S. D.
Peterson, the prohibition (?) champion
from this district, is one of the repub-
lican representatives On the committee.
No prohibition submission heresy is
likely to get ratified by that committee.
Lieut.. Governor Ives had decidedly
the best of Donnelly, in his answer to
the latter's reflections in regard to the
organization of the senate last week.
| He said:
Il would feel relieved if the commit
tees were taken out of my hands, but
this senate should know how | was
approached by Mr.. Donnelly this
morning. He said that he represent
ed a committee that had a proposition
to make to me. He thought it right
that the farmers alliance should have
the control Of tie senate committees
on grain and warehouse, railroads,
banks, and that if | would agree to
make appointments covering his sug
gestions the alliance would join the
republicans, and that if | would not
they would join the democrats. Now,
gentlemen of this senate, what opinion
would you haye of a Lieutenant Gov
ernor that would enter into such an
agreement? Immense applause. I
replied: "Mr. Donnelly, do you think
would do right to make such an
agreement" He did not answer that
question. | told him that was elect
ed by the people of Minnesota; that l
had 10 right to throw away the rights
they vested in me. Gentlemen of this
Senate, will not throw them away. I
have made no promises, and will make
none The applause following Mr..
Ives remarks was immense.

ANOTHER GHOST LAID,
Capital Removal Shelved at Bis

SPECIAL TO the Globe.
BISMARCK, N. d., Feb. 18.-This was
the day set for the consideration of the
capital removal resolution in the house
Short work was made of it, Messrs.
Brown, Brooke, Burke, Oliver, Gill,
Douglass and OberS making speeches
in favor of its indefinite postpOnement
in committee of the whole. Brown said
he had lived in Grand Forks fourteen
years, and to say that Grand Forks
wanted the capital was false. She
wanted manufactures, something that
would give employment the year around
instead of for sixty DAYS every two
years. Others opposed on the ground
that removal would iniure the develop
ment of the state, and was not de
sired by the people. They did
not want repetition of the
curse and wrangle had in South Dako-
ia. The resolution was indefinitely
postponed by vote of SO to 7-Messrs.
BjOrnson, Burton, bennett, Haight
Hanson, HOlte. Peterson. This ends
the capital ghost for this season. To-
morrow the appropriation bills come up
and the discussion is likely to be ami
mated. Majority and minority reports
are in OH all appropriations for new
institutions. To-day the senate bill APP

A long and useful public career, involving

All the people of our commonwealth will

his maguanimOus conduct and his many
private acts of charity have endeared him to
all good citizens.
Now therefore rs a token of public grief
and veneratiOn. do designate and appoint
the following citizens of the state to attend
the funeral ceremonies: John ). Plllsbury,
James Gilhllan, William Lochren, Thomas

the national flag be displayed at matt mast on
the capitol until sundown; and l further
direct that the building be draped with
emblems of mourning for the period of thirty
days.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal Of the

THE SIBLEY ANCESTRY.
The Race From Which the Great
Pioneer Sprung.

Pioneer Sprung.
If Dr.. Vests book is open to adverse
criticism at all, the only criticism that
can be considered we'll founded would
relate to the amount of space devoted to
the ancestry of the Sibleys. 1t makes
but little difference to the general
reader whether mans ancestors
or not, so long as the man himself per-
formed his duty and enshrined his mem
ory in the hearts of his countrymen.
Still. blood will tell, and it is a matter
of interest to all Minnesotians to know
that the man whose chiyalrOus bearing
has ever been the pride of his fellow
citizens can trace his ancestral line
back to a brave old Saxon family who
resisted Norman invasion eight centu-
ries ago. Henry Hastings Sibley, the
hero of Minnesota, and the subject of
DR.. Vests we'll written sketch. was
born In Detroit, Feb. 20. 1911. He was
born the fourth child and second son on
of an honorable sire, Chief Justice Sol
onion Sibley, of Detroit, whose wife,
Sarah Whipple Sproat, was the only
daughter of Col. Ebenezer Sproat, an
accomplished officer in the Continental
army, and granddaughter of Commo-
Gore Abraham Whipple, of the CONT
mental navy. The Sibleys were origi-
nally Massachusetts people, whose an
cestors were among the earliest Ameri-
can pioneers. and from them have de-
scended multitude of men and women
of high distinction, adjoining the annals
of the nation in all the various walks of
private and public lite. Gen. Sibley
came of equally good stock by his
mothers side. Dr.. West relates the fol-
