CHAs. r. MILLER, editor Of the
New York Times, addresses timely
word to the critics of newspapers in
vigorous article in the Forum.
The castigators Of the newspaper
press, he says, have set up standards
that are either wrong or unreasona-
BILE, and a newspaper managed to
please them would be a CHASTITY fail
ure. Taking the world as it is, which
is the way editors have to take it, he
declares that the publication of a
newspaper devoted entirely to ex'
allied themes is commercially impos-
sible, whereas the newspapers now
are as good as the age and world in
which they are published.

adoption of his invention. He paid
glowing tribute to Mr.. William Deer
inc. To whose enterprise he said the
world was indebted for the intr oduc-
ton and general adoption of the ma
chine. Said he: ''In 1879, when the
Deering company made seventy five
of these binders, people smiled know
lngly and predicted failure. The next
wear when MIR. Deering made 5000 OF
the machines. the manufacturers or
the old reaper and the wire binder
said he was crazy. II he was crazy
all the manufacturers of harvesting
machinery who have been forced to
follow his example have also become
violently insane, [Laughter and the
millions of farmers who now use the
invention are fit candidates for q
lunatic asylum" Laughter and ap-
plause.
The excursionists left for Alton and
the great Dalrymple farms at p. m,
where they witnessed threshing ma
chimes at work on a crop of wheat
that was cut from II. 900 acres by 100
Deering binders-a make that is used
exclusively by the Dalrymples. From
Alton they journeyed to Fargo, where
they were royalty received and shown
the marvellous result of the western
pluck, which in a season of hard times
had built solid city of brick and NOR
tar on the bed of ashes that had lain
smoking there only ninety days be-
fore. From Fargo, the guests re-
turned to Chicago brimful OF enthusi-
asm over the wonders they had seen.

WHEN England was plundering
and anneXing Burmah the American
papers which take their news and
their opinions from England and
English sources gabbled a good deal
about the "beneficent spread Of civili-
zation." Now, when France is swal-
lowing up a little heather state, we
note that the same English-fed pa
pers are all shouting that "benetl-
cent" England has frightened France,
although she could not save Siam.
All this is a feeble echo Of England's
roar sent up to distract attention
from her cowardly abandonment OF
Siam. England built up a trade
there and whispered Siam into the
idea that she would be protected.
John Bulls bluster disappeared when
the French gunboats anchored of
Bangkok, and only reappeaved when
Siam had surrendered.

AN extremely interesting story
comes from California regarding a
discovery in the Colorado desert,
which may prove of the first impor-
tance. It bears the semblance of
truth, but complete confirmation of
it will be required before it can be
accepted by the scientific world. The
story, as told by party of prospect
ors, is that near the Mexican line
they found the ruins of what was ap-
parently an ancient temple Of large
size. Long rows of granite columns
projected out of the sand, while ex-
cavation showed that a great part of
the structure was hidden from sight.
Exploring parties have been organ.

inhospitable character of the desert,

this interesting find" will be OBJ

CUT-THROAT doctors and lawyers
who attempt cold blooded swindles of
wealthy patients and clients are oc-
casionally sat down upon liz the
courts with a dull thud. The case Of
]. w. Mackey, in San Francisco, last
winter, will be remembered where
the doctors who sued for outrageous
bills failed to make it appear that
their services were as valuable as
claimed. A similar case has been
running in the New York courts ever
since the death of Samuel j. Tilden.
One DR.. Simmons, who had attended
the millionaire politician for several
years, filed his bill for SI43, $50 for
medical attention for 2.221 days and
brought suit for that sum. The
matter has Just been settled after
four years litigation by the payment
TO DR.. Simmons of $40, 900, or So, 00C

A FAMOUS TOUR.
FOREION COMMITS SSIONERS VISIT
THE GREAT FARMS AT
LARIMORE
They See Forty Five Deering Self-Bind-
ers, Manned by $50 Men, Moving In
the Same Direction at the Same
Tine.

Forty-five Deering Twine binders,
forming a procession half mile in
length and steadily moving through
waving sea of wheat-such was the
sight that greeted the foreign commits
sioners to the Worlds Fair during
theirrecent famous visit to the bonanza
farms of North Dakota. This impos-
ing spectacle was witnessed on the
great Elk Valley farm at Larimore, n.
D., farm comprising ~, 900 acres or
nearly nineteen square miles, 10000
acres of which formed one unbroken,
fenceless field of wheat To witness
this sight the distinguished spectators,
comprising fifty foreign diplomats,
Worlds Fair commissioners and
representatives of the foreign
| press, together with an equal
number of Americans eminent in
| Worlds Fair, railroad and commercial
circles, had undertaken the discom-
forts of thousand mile journey from
Chicago; and the eXclamations Of de-
light and surprise, and the cries of
bravo" that rang out on the air
showed that their expectations were
vastly more than realized. From st.
| Paul through Minnesota and North
| Dakota they travelled as guests of the
Great Northern railroad, and the
farther north they travelled the
warmer and more cordial was their re-
ception. Here at Larimore they
found the climax of interest and the
height of hospitality. They were
met at their train and escorted to car
riages by what seemed to be the whole
population of the little city of Lari-
more, headed by o. q. Phillips, the
mayor, Gov. Shortridge and n. G..
Larimore, the proprietor of the great
farm which they were to see. Silently,
and almost breathlessly at first, they
viewed the mighty phalanx Of ma
chimes; then quickly alightiug from
their conveyances they followed the
machines on foot, eagerly peering
into their mechanism, as If bent on
finding the secret of their perfect, au-
tomato, almost roiseless action. For
an hour or more they followed the ma
chimes, asking innumerable questions
of Mr.. Larimore and his sons, when
their attention was called to scientific
tests of draft that were being made
under the supervision of Mavor o. II.

A MINNESOTA county treasurer Is
in a peck O, worry, all over the small
sum Of three cents. Some time ago
a mille- at Crow River started TO put
in a dam for power. There was OBJ
lection from the property owners in
the vicinity and the court was ap-
pealed TO, after which commissioners
were appointed TO assess damages.
In the return of the commissioners
five Of the directors were given one
cent each as damages. Three OF
these refused the one ceRt, stating
that the award was absurd. The
owner OF the dam then came TO the
treasurer and insisted that he take
the three cents on deposit "a was pro-
vided for by law in such cases. The
treasurer refused TO take the money
for the reason that the small sun
would have to be carried forward or
the books, perhaps for all time, and
he did not believe ii was the law.

Phillips and MIR. c. II. Olmstead. The
machines tested, the Deering Pony
binder and the Deering Ideal mower,
were remarkable because embodying
the ball and roller bearings, such as
are used in bicycles and bicycle su.k-
les. Twelve tests were made on each
machine with a registered Osterheld &
Eickmeyer dynauometer, each repre-
senting the draft involved in cutting
q foot swath, 100 feet in length, in
twenty to twenty-five seconds of time.
The six cutting tests with the binder
showed an average of only 29s pounds
of draft. Six tests followed in which
the machine was run in gear over the
tops of the stubble just cut. This
test. which is known as rolling
draft, showed an average draft
Ct 207 pounds The Deering
Ideal mower, q new machine
also fitted with the bicycle bearings,
showed cutting draft in heavy grass
averaging only 12o pounds, and a
rolling draft of only 92 pounds. The
remarka bly, low draft-about half the
draft of ordinary shown by
these figures for both machines was
carefully noted by the astonished
visitors as demonstrating the practi-
cability of the bicycle be rings. The
same Pony binder drawn by two light
mules cut an acre of wheat in ~ u
minutes
PAPER TwISE USED.
A notable feature of the binder tsst
was the use on the Pony binder OF the
Deering paper twine, made from a
wood fber. This twine, patented by
William Deering II Co.. bids fair to
prove Waterloo to the twine trust.
