Winter wheat is all right, but spring
wheat has been badly delayed by the
heavy rains, and will hardly be full
crop.

Minneapolis will be all one city-and
bigger than Boston.
The Eagle sees no reason for believing
that the negro delegates were any more
corrupt, or were in any more cases cor
rupted, than the white delegates to the
Minneapolis convention. Venality Is a
matter Of character and not OF COLOR

Just and timely. All this talk about
buying up delegates was at New York
or Boston, not at Minneapolis. The NEWS
doubts if a single vote in the convention
was purchased, though gratitude for po-
litical appointment undoubtedly held
some of the Southern delegates firm for
Harrison. They felt that he had been
kind to the colored men and this feel
ing was perfectly legitimate factor in
the situation. The colored men showed
up we'll at Minneapolis. The NEWS
correspondent did not see one of them
intoxicated. They were well dressed,
orderly, and in speech and appearance
intelligent. Three Of them spoke re-
markably well in convention and one Of
them turned the laugh on the great
Chauncey himself very cleverly. The
Eagle is quite right.
Major Mckinley does not rise in popu-
lar esteem for the part he has borne in
the contest. Easily second choice to many
Blaine men he has sold his birthri ght for
a mess of pottage by diverting the opposi-
tion to Harrison to his own support. Per-
haps the "price" for his work may never
be paid, but it may be known what it
was. "McKinleyism may now have a
new significance. e.-Attieboro Sun.
This is another statement which would
hardly have been made by one who had
been at the convention. Four years ago
went to the convention to NOM
mate Sherman and emphatically protest
ed against the casting Of any votes for
him. This year the circumstances were
different. Mr.. Mckinley was for Har-
rison, but he did not nominate him, nor
was Harrison an Ohio man. Beyond
casting his own vote for Harrison,
which he did, Mckinley was under no
obligation as regards the President.
And when votes were cast for him it
was right for him to do precisely rs he
dignified silence. Our
Republican friends should love McKin-
ley for the enemies he has made and not
repeat the slanders of those enemies.
Now is the time to take out life insur.
ance. The Democratic convention will
be here In few days.-Chicago Inter
