That Wheat Corner.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, July 26.-The pro-
moters of the great farmers wheat cor
ner in Minnesota are IN a wild state of
CONSERVATION over the prospects of pro-
secution on the grave charge of criminal
conspiracy. While a member of the
lower house of the Minnesota legislature,
in 1887, Ignatius Donnelly, now presi-
dent of the Farmers Alliance of this
state, secured The passage of a constitu-
tional amendment, which WAS adopted
by the people in the fall OF 1888. Ii is
now section thirtyiive of article four,
state constitution, and reads as follows:
ANY combination of persons, either
as individuals or as members or officials
of any corporations to monopOlize the
markets for food products in this state,
or interfere with or restrict the freedom
of such markets, is hereby declared to
be a conspiracy and shall be punished in
such manner as the legislature may pro-
vide
All action taken under the now famous
Muller circular comes plainly under this
law President Donuelly admits that a
line of conduct which, when pursued
by the members of the Chicago
board OF trade, is a criminal conspiracy,
cannot be anything less atrocions when
pursued by the members of the Farmers
Alliance. The law made to catch the
speculators turns up to plague the farmers
themselves, and they will not make the
concerted effort proposed to force the
price of wheat 10 $50 per bushel before
making sales.

Startling Figures.

In 1887 the states of the Union spent
altogether S115, 900. 900 on the public
schools. The same year the army and
navy combined cost the general govern
ment less than S54, 600, 600, that, too,
though there must be kept in the west a
considerable force at all times in active
service on account of the Indians The
reader is to remember that the sum for
public schools is spent by the states in
dividually and not by the general gov
ernment. Now let us turn to some mill
tary and educational figures in the
countries of Europe. Italy spends $780,
000, 900 year fos the army and 81, 900, :
900 for education. Spain expends $780,
600, 900 for the army and navy and only
81 800, 900 for the education of the com
ing Spanish citizen. The ordinary
Spanish peasant who can read and write
Is the exception. Germany spends
S1S5, ,OO0,O a year for her army and
$40, 200, 900 for schooling her children,
though the Germans are popularity sup
posed to be the best educated people in
civilization.
The military of Austro-Hungary
costs S64, 500, 900 a year, while Sc, ,25O,-
900 are paid for education. France
spends S151 ,000, 900 annually on her
army and S21 900, 900 for schools.
To close, it may be remarked that the
city of New York alone spends yearly
over $4,000, 900 on her public schools,
as much as the whole Italian Nation.

against the proposition to hold consti-
tutional convention. He says: ~
don't see what can be gained. tits only
seventeen years since the present state
constitution was framed, and ever since
then about every new state that was
framed at least in part and some of them
wholly adopted the Pennsylvania form.
If those new states all prosper under
their borrowed constitution why cannot
the old Keystone state get along with
its own. / see that Mr.. Powderly has
declined Governor Pattison's offer to
make him one of the commissioners at
the Worlds Fair at Chicago, for the
express purpose of taking an active IN
terest in the proposed convention Of this
State. 1t is difficult to ascertain how
Mr.. Powderly is going to better his con-
dition or that of the people he so ably
represents. He must surely know that
should the voters of the state decide to
have n new constitution that the dele
gates who will be elected will very large
ly represent interests directly antagonistic
TO those which Mr. Powderly pretends to
support. Aside from Mr.. Powderly
don't know of any one who is enthusias-
tic for the convention, and for the life
of me l don't see what is to be gained,
and it will cost the taxpayers over 81
000, 900 of their MONEY!"
