The man was dead. His heart and pulse

The curious crowd gaZed pityingly

A NEW BINDING TwME.

j. b. Best, who lives near Kansas
City, thinks he has solved the bind
ing twine problem for the American
farmers. Mr.. Best proposes to use
as a substitute for manila and sisal
fiber in the manufacture of twine
the fiber of the yucca plant, or "Span-
ish bayonet," as it is called in New
Mexico. A Kansas name for it is
"bear grass" so called on account of
the great strength of its fiber. Mr..
Best has been experimenting with
the yucca plant for several years, and
he has progressed so far that he has
invented a machine that will salts
factorily separate the fiber. Driven
by horse power engine and operated
by two men, ii will separate 1000
pounds of clean fiber in ten hours,
which can be manufactured into
twine much more cheaply
than manila and sisal fiber, while at
the same time making twine that is
quite as good. Mr.. Best says the
OF his twine will bring
the trust to more reasonable terms.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1892-07-20
WHY Cling to the Bosses?

1t may be in face of the Inevitable but
the Review cannot refrain from giving
vent to its distaste for the nomination OF
Hon. Knute Nelson as the Republican
candidate for governor. Its reasons are
not hard to state. In the first place on
Knute Nelson voted for the Mills bill, an
un-Republican measure. He thereby
estranged many thousand votes In theRe-
publican districts and endangered Re
publican success throughout the state.
So thoroughly has he educated him TO
this false doctrine that it will never be
possible to again bring them back into
the fold. Not even Mr.. Nelson himself
is equal to the task of re- converting them
Then, we believe that he is part OF a
great political combine which would
control the affairs Of the Republican
party. The head Of this political ring IS
no less parsonage than Gov. Merriam,
who like Nelson has done much to In
jure the cause of Republicanism in
Minnesota. The object Of the combine
is to eventually land both of these men
in the United States Senate. Nelson is
taken into it because he is popular and
because without his popularity and abll-
ity it would be hard to give the combine
show of responsibility. Davis is the.
man who is to suffer from the success of
their plans and it is a question for the
people to decide as to whom they pre-
fer-Davis or Merriam.
Furthermore, the REVIEW does not
believe that a man who has voted
against the principles Of the party and
who has sulked when his rivals were
victorious over him, is any stronger for
the cause of Republicanism than man
who has always been found fighting in
the ranks for the principles which our
platforms embody. Neither can it be
stated with certainty that Nelson is the.
choice. In all of the counties Nelson is
the choice of those who generally run
the conventions office holders.
Why? Simply because they have got it
into their heads that he can pull them
through with less work than any Of the
other aspirants. The idea is mistaken
one, we believe, but it nevertheless pre-
walls, and Nelson is accordingly catching
the delegates.
These reasons we deem sufficient to
oppose the nomination of Mr.. Nelson.
There are plenty of other good candl-
dates in the field and why not name one
who will bring to the support OF the
ticket the influence of every Republican
newspaper.

Donnelly's Wheat Steal.
newspaper.

Prompted by Donnelly's claim that
dealers in grain have regularly stolen
from the farmers of the Northwest from
10 to 80 cents on every bushel of their
wheat, the Minneapolis Tribune has
made a thorough investigation OF the
matter and by following a number of
cargoes of grain from Duluth to Liver
pool, ascertaining the various charges
upon them in transit, the price for
which the grain was bought in Duluth
and the price for which it was sold in
Liverpool, it has brought to light some
very interesting facts. On many Of
these shipments there was an actual loss
to the exporters, and in other cases the
profits rarely exceeded fraction of a
cent per bushel. In its report Of the
result of its Investigations the Tribune
calls attention to one important difficult
ty which stands in the way of reaching
entirely satisfactory conclusions. 1t
SAYS: s1Inasmuch as cargo Of grain
cannot be in Minneapolis and Liverpool
on one and the same day, all arguments
based on such supposition are pure So
phistry. During the three or six weeks
which intervene between the time the
grain leaves the Minnesota farm and ar
rives in European markets, The condi-
tons may have changed many times.
Price quotations will have jumped back
and forth and freight rates gone up and
down. Weather, casualty and unayoid-
able loss in handling will have reduced
the weight and grade SO that nothing
but investigation Of the facts and condi-
tons of actual and specific shipments
can determine whether or not the ship
per has absorbed more or less than his
share of the returns
The presumption Is natural one thai
if the business of exporting Whea'
is so profitable as Donnelly says it is, (
great many grain dealers with ample ca
pital would go into it. And ye
it appears from the Tribune
investigation that Of the two dozen pro
minent elevator companies handling
northwestern grain, only two are en-
gagged in exporting. 4, as the Tribun
says, ssthere was clear and safe margin
of only two cents a bushel in grain ex
portation, how long would it be befor
not only every grain dealer but ever
capitalist in the grain producing am
shipping states would be fockingg int
the expectation business Two cents
month is commercial snap which ca
pital does not often let pass
