the situation, and the conclusions arr,
rived at were those which came from
a deliberate body of men who were
uninfiuenced and unprejudiced. Sc,
far as the commissioners were con-
cerned they took no part in the debate
nor in the proceedings except to show
the needs existing for more money,
and on this point there was, nor has
there been, any particular difference
of opinion. The commission will meet
again in St. Paul on September 11th,.
at which time it is expected circular
letter to the legislative members will
be sent out in accordance with the &C
tion of the convention, and it is be-
lieved that, as the representatives.
consider the Importance of the ques-
ton, there will be little or no oppose
tion on the part of any of them to.,
cheerfully subscribe their names to a
petition to the Governor. Over TWEEN
ty-five members of the House and SEN
ate have already expressed them
selves as heartily in favor of the ac--
tion taken, by the convention. This,
seems to be the only way in which the.
money can be raised. and if~it shall
fail, Minnesota will have no state
building at the Fair, neither can her
interests be shown up as they will he.

Italian Methods Must Not Be Tolerated

The Italian who dwelleth within
our borders needs to be taught some
practical lessons in reference to our
laws, and the sooner we begin to teach
him the better it will be for us and
his countrymen. He is prone to set
tie his grievance without recourse to
the laws of the land, and constitute
himself Judge, jury and eXecutioner
upon the slightest provocation, and
wholly ignores our customs and tradi-
tions. His latest effort in this direc-
tion was in the case of the collision on
the Shore Line railroad, when he at
tempted to settle his grievances and
avenge the death Of two and the
manning of ten of his countrymen, by
mobbing the engineer and fireman Of
the locomotive which ran into the
train Familiarity known as the italian
Express" While sometimes we Amer
leans feel like melting out summary
punishment to careless engine drivers,
we have not yet introduced the Ital-
ian mode of procedure, and until we
do begin, we shall object to ignorant
foreigners even attempting this dang
erous plan of punishment. The Ital-
ians are trifie too aggressive in the
matter Of satisfying their wrongs
fancied or real-and must be curbed
in their methods and means of ac-
complishing their ends. If moral sua-
sion fails with these people we must
at once proceed to harsh methods,
which probably will bring them to
their senses.

THE man who farms with his mouth
and not with his hands, and who has
at divers and sundry times had the
actual agriculturist either in or on the
road to the poor house, will hardly re-
lish the statistics of a recognized
financier whose Investigations find
that the farmers of Olmsted county
have on deposit 500, 900 in the banks
of Rochester: at Dover they have
100000 on deposit: at Plainview 80 per
cent. of all the money on deposit was
put there by farmers. The condition
of the finances of the farmers of Ohm
stead county is only fair illustra-
ton of the accumulated wealth Of
the farmers of other Southern Mime
sofa counties. If the whole truth
was known, it would show that the
farmers of Blue Earth county have
close onto million dollars in our To-
cal banks. And the returns to come
from the present abundant crops will
add largely to the "down-trodden-
farmers surplus, despite the dema-
gogue politician who has been trying
to make the country believe that this
class of people are in condition verg-
ing on pauperism.

SOMEONE of a scientific turn of mind
has deduced from the element with
which he deals the philosophical con-
clusion that such thing as bald
headed tramp has never been seen.
That stands to reason; tramps never
have sufficient funds to procure re-
served seat in the vicinity of the foot
lights, SO what use would they have
for bald head. A shining scalp is
exponential of better things than cold
victuals and haymOw beds.

WHEAT doomed skyward on the
Chicago Board of Trade Saturday, and
reached S1.08. 1t afterward sold on
the curb as high as s1.18. OF course
these are speculative figures. 1t
would be agreeable to our farmers
and not disagreeable to any one if
these figures could be maintained un-
til after the present crop is marketed,
but there is no likelihood that such a
desire will be realized. The shortage
of foreign products is very great, but
there is no doubt that the deficiency
has been over estimated for specula-
tive purposes. A Minnesota farmer
who can get CSC for his wheat will not
miss the mark by selling.

HERE is one mode OF creating party
strength during campaign which
the Republican party seems never to
have valued as highly as they should.
That is, the education of that large
element, constantly taking up the
right of suffrage, who have not yet
absolute political convictions. In
this direction is where the enemy has
outgeneralled us in every campaign
fnr mans years. The Republicans as
sumed control at time when the peo-
pie of the loyal states were overwhelm
ingly converted to the great party
principles, per medium of the agita-
tion and stirring events OF the war.
1t was almost foregone conclusion
at the beginning of each campaign
that the voting populace of the nation
SO welded to these patriotic princi-
pies. would sustain the party which
had preserved the nation in its time
OF peril. 1t is quite different now.
Each succeeding campaign finds the
voting element composed more largely
of younger minds whose political edu
cation has been acquired since the
stirring events of the Republican
party's inception became sacred
memory, and it is upon this class that
the enemy have spent their energies.
There is scarcely household in the
land which is not kept supplied with
Democratic free trade literature
through the Democratic-B British Cob
den Club Free Trade Bureau, and the
young men are constantly absorbing
its false precepts, and there is not a
Democratic organ which does not as
industriously reproduce these argu-
ments. We may enthuse the spirits
of staid Republican allies by daily en-
comiums of the heroes Of the last
quarter OF a century, and keep the
party tenets fresh in the minds of
those older ones by reciting the hero
ism of thirty years ago, but to the
young mind these things have lost
their moulding effect, and are looked
upon by them as Quasi-sacred history,
creating in them nobler memories of
the heroes of that time; but as for
stamping upon their minds the eter-
nal worth of Republican principles,
these have lost their usefulness. Other
means must be used. The young
mind must be kept fertile by daily ap-
plications of truth, and the necessity
of rallying to the support of the prin-
ciples which have made our nation
what it is, must be riveted on the
mind by judicious reasoning. This is
on age of mental activity, and the Re
publican leaders must work along this
line if they succeed in bringing to
their support the young men whe are
just forming their political convic-
tions. The Republican league should
commence active work in thiS%d dire c.
tion without further delay.

THERE is every Indication Of gen.
eral advance in the price of bread
stuffs. The late reports of short crops
in Europe have agitated buyers, and a
material advance in wheat took place
yesterday, closing in Chicago at 99Bc
per bushel. There is reason for the
American farmer to feel encouraged.
OF course the present outlook may be
a trife too encouraging, but signs
which are thoroughly reliable point to
higher prices than have been customa-
ry in this country at the opening of
the season for many years.

LOREN FLETCHER, the Minneapolis
"Uncle Loren" of political fame, has
had an interview with Jas. G.. Blaine
at Bar Harbor, Maine, and sizes the
situation up in about this way. He
says that Blaine is on the verge of the
grave, but it is the grave of the next
Democratic nominee for president.
Fletcher always speaks in monosylla-
bles, but his meaning is usually volu-
minous.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsHINGToN, DC, Aug. II, 1891.
Editor Free Press:
The hot wave, which began in the
far Northwest and swept over the
country, did not slight the national
capital. Washington is in it. At L
p. m. to-day the thermometer stood
at 90 in the shade. About all the
breeze there was, was set in motion
by electric fans, and they are more Of
luxury than household commodity
But the weather bureaucrats have
cited cool wave afar off and predict
it's arrival here in about two days. LIZ
the meantime, kilograms have been
sent to Uncle Jerry, who is taking his.
leave in Wisconsin, to come back and
turn off the steam.
~
Washington is so elated at securing
the G.. A. r. reunion next year that it
is signing for other worlds to conquer,
and thinks of trying real hard to Sc
cure the next Republican national
convention. If the convention goes
West to grow up with the country it
ought to go to Minneapolis or Paulap-
oils or whatever the coming fifth city
in the Union may be called. By the
way, why not call the united city
Minnesota? The largest city in the
United state bears the name of the
Empire state, Of which it is the me-
tropolis, but not the capital. Mime
sofa would combine both. Neither
Minneapolis nor St. Paul can object
to the name, and the balance of the
state would approve of it.
~
1t is idle to speculate as to whether
St. Paul should be called Lower,
Town" 1t is lower town, and Mime,
apolis is Upper Town-that is If the
Mississippi runs down stream, as Z
suppose it does and always will. The
idea of calling st. Paul lower town is
not new one. | suggested it in the
Minneapolis Tribune several years ago.
The topography of the the two cities
| is such that while st. Paul is lower
on the river its elevation above sea
level is greater than that of its up
river sister, and it thus presents the
anomaly Of being lower and yet higher.

OPPOSED TO HARRISON.
Senator Wolcott Says the West is = galnst
His Renom nation.

BoSToN, May Ex-senator Ed Oliver
Wolcott, of Denver, is stopping in Bos'
ton with Mrs. Wolc )tt, and yesterday
created somewhat of Il sensation by eX-
pressing in an interview sentiments in
reference TO the Republican feeling in
the West Said he:
'Out in our section we are all opposed
to Harrison owing TO his attitude on
public questions affecting the great
West. The ovation which has been ac-
corded 10 him during his trip through
our part of the country is not meant for
Harrison personally, but for the Presi-
dent While Mr.. Harrison has been
cordially received by the people of the
West dare say thatif Grover Cleveland
or James G.. Blaine were to follow after
him they would receive such reception
as wouid make President Harrison hang
his head in shame.
Every body out my way on the Re-
publican side is for Blaine, aud we are
earnestly praying for his recovery. The
silver question will not be an issue il
the next presidential campaign. We dc
not regard it as a geographical question
although to my mind it is largely SO. II
is a mistake to suppose that the de-
mand for such coinage comes altogether
from the West. We are large borrower:
from the East. Our great prosperity i:
due to our capacity to borrow and Mas
SachusettS capital and enterprise are
everywhere to be seen in the grand
West.
Il believe that the credit OF this coun
try is better secured by both gold and
silver currency than gold alone, and
believe that in short time the people
of the East and West will see the queS
tion alike"
"Will the force bill be an issue in the
next campaign.?"
1.-The force bill is as dead as Julius.
We have many laws which seem to me
to be as unamerican, but this bill was
not only unamerican but contrary to
the spirit of our free institutions"
"What is your opinion OF the new
third party?"
"it is a myth and will not be in exist
ence in '92. Neither of the old parties
need have auy fear of it,
