unseated.
The afore mentioned sheet puts the
whole question on ..conseded to have
been elected and conceded to have
been defeated, and that if there had
not been any conceding the certified
legislature would have won the con-
test. 1t was indeed unfortunate that
the republicans of Alabama conceded.
If this is not the thinest kind of rot
it would not have been in the Topeka
Capital.
Now in view of all the facts and
precedents, did the republican house
have legal quorum? They rejected
any and all reasonable compromise.
Their scheme is bound to fail.
Finally the republican house con-
coded the election of Rosenthal and
offered him u seat although he held
no certificate of election.
If republicans offered to seat man
having no certificate can theyreason-
ably protest against the populists who
seated those they conceded to be cleo
ted although they had no certifcatesP
The republicans ought not to complain
at the populist recoup.

he Condemns as both pernicious and
corrupting the bestowal of free passes
and the granting of free transportat-
alton to further political ends as seen
in the late campaign.
STATUTORY AND CONSTITUTIONAL REvIs-
ION.
The revision of both the statutes and
the constitution, especially, in the reg
ulatiOn of legislative contests and the
decision of tie votes is recommended.
He recommends the passing of some
form of the Australian ballot law; and
change of the veto law allowing the
objection to parts of bills without the
the invalidating of the whole law.
APPELLATE COURT.
In order to relieve the supreme court
and to expedite justice he advises the
creation of an intermediate court of
appeals.
MORTGAGE AND INTEREST LAWS.
He advises changes in the mortgage
rnd interest laws, recommending that
law be enacted empowering the dis
trict courts to vacate sheriff sales for
inadaquacy of price, and he suggests
that the gold clause in mortgage
securities be absolutely prohibited.
He recommends the passage of a law
making both principle and interest Il
forfture for the exacting of usurious
interest.
BANK LAWS.
He thinks the fees for the examining
banks are too high and that the pub
location of quarterly statements are too
expensive.
CAPITOL AND GROUNDS.
He recommends the speedy COM
pletion of the capitol and the proper
Improvement of the capitol grounds.
MINING LAWS.
He recommends laws favorable to
miners and the abolition of the ''store
order system, and advises the estab-
lishment of bureau of agriculture and
chan ges in the law as to grain inspec-
ton. Among the closing recommend
ations is an appropriation for the
worlds fair.
The message bears evidence of great
pains-taking in preparation and labor

DANGER IN ATTENDING FUNE-
RAILS.

1t has been suggested by leading
local physician, says the Minneapolis
Times, that the Times call attention to
the danger of undue exposure in at
tendance upon funerals and burial SER
vices. There ought to be no necessity
Tor warning upon a matter so plain
ana simple as this. And yet it is GER
tain that every person whose acquaint-
ance is at all extensive is very likely
to be called upon to attend the fune-
raj OF a greter or lesser number of his
friends at this time of year, and it is
a fact, proven by long experience, that
one funeral sometimes makes several.
and that many severe and often fatal
slcknesseS result from the adherence
to some of the senseless customs con-
nected with the interment of the
dead.
One of these customs is that of pail
bearers and other attendants at fu-
neral to remove their hats during the
ceremonies at the grave and while the
remains are being lowered to their
last resting place. The exposure con-
sequent upon the removal of the
head-covering almost Invariably re-
suits in the contracting of a severe
cold, and only too often this ailment,
trifiing at first, settles upon the more
vital parts of the chest and produces
pulmonary complaints resulting in
death. This fact is attested by all
undertakers of eXI erience, and many
OF them have, in other cities, gone so
far as to provide silken skull caps for
those whom custom forces to comply
with the requirement of uncovering.
1t is all very well to testify respect
Tor the dead in any and every way pos
SlDle, but it is not required that in
the adherence to mere formalities in
connection with funerals, the grave
yaros should be fattened by those who
might be otherwise spared for long
lives of usefulness. 1t would surely
be no respect to the dead to refrain
from a custom that endangers the
health and lives Of survivors, for the
mere compliance with form certain,
ly does not add anything to the real
grief of the mourner.
The relatives Of those who pass
away will scarcely object to the taking
OF proper precautions to preserve
health by those who follow the dead
to the bleak and desolate graveyard
IN the winter time; and they, too,
will be wise to conform to the aban-
donment Of custom that adds as
little to the dignity of sorrow as to
the comfort of those in attendance.

WILL. STOKE HIr1 OUT.

Congressman TawneY and Kiefer.
of this state are about to enter upon
a move to smoke out Attorney Gen.
eral Olney upon the general trust
question. They have undertaken a
big Job, but we hope they will be sue
cessful IN it. They propose to give
him chance to prosecute the coal
trust under the provisions Of the
national antitrust law. Here is a
chance now for Democracy to help the
people. In smashing the coal trust it
can do more in lifting from their
shoulders heavy burden than it can
ever accomplish through revision
of the tariff. Everything possible has
been done to get the administration
to move upon the trusts, but it has
been of'nO avail. and if MessrS, Taw.
ney and Kiefer succeed through con-
gresslonal action in stirring Mr..
Olney up, they will create a surprise.
They will also find out whether OF
not the professions of the administra.
are worth anything.

railroad and warehouse commission
ers, the railroad mileage of the state
has been increased a little over four
hundred and twenty. eight miles du-
ring the year, bringing the total mile
age for the state up to 1884 miles.
The gross earnings of the Minnesota
roads for the year ending June both,
1893, was S37, 7,OS7,O ,OO2, an increase OF
S9OS,668 over the previous year. The
roads paid nearly S1O,00O,0OO in divi-
dends during the year. The total
number of employees in the state was
9O,6S0, and on all the lines traversing
the state, only three persons were killed
during the year. This is a good record
for the Minnesota roads, and shows
careful management.

WHY CAST 1T ASIDE?

The report comes from Washington
that Secretary Gresham considers the
trade of the nations to the south of
US Of too little Importance to bother
with, and that he has decided to drop
all attempt toward improving our
trade relations in that direction, and
will turn his attention to China,
where, he thinks, the outlook is much
better. The recent legislation re-
garding the Chinese in this country
has abrOgated our treaties with China
and calls for some new action in that
line. 1t is claimed that the Chinese
government has no fault to find with
acts which look to the suspension Of
Chinese immigration, and that the
amendment to the Geary act, recent
ly adopted, is satisfactory to it. All
they ask is that Cinnamon already
here be respectfully treated.
1t is also claimed that China is anx-
ious to extend it's trade relations with
this country, but is not at all anxious
So TO do with European nations on ac-
count of the aggressive position they
assume. The Chinese trade is said to
be rich one, and will well repay any
exertions this country may make to
secure control OF it.
This claim is no doubt true, and
every American will hope that Mr..
Gresham will be able to make suitable
arrangements whereby this country
can extend it's oriental trade. But in
doing so, why throw over our shoulder
the trade which lies at our door? This
is cast one side as of little or no &C
count, and yet England regards it as
worth using every endeavor to secure
and control. While reaching out to
get hold Of the oriental trade, the ad-
vantages which have already been
gained to the south Of us can just as
we'll be retained and extended. Pos
sibly it may not be as rich a field as
that of China, but it is surely worth
cultlvating, and the administration
is making serious mistake in2ignor-
ing it.

TO ADMIT UTAH.

The house has passed the bill to
admit Utah as state. The enabling
act was amended prohibiting polyg-
amy forever in the proposed state.
ltis very probable, however, that
this amendment will cut but little fig
ure and that the new state will do
just about as it pleases as regards
it's internal and local affairs. What
the house should have done was. to
adopt the amendment offered, reserv-
ing to the federal authority jurisdic-
tion over the crime of polygamy, and
continuing the Edmunds law in opera
tion. If the Mormons are honest in
their declarations this provision
could work no hardship, and it ought
to be insisted on by the senate. The
opposition which the Republicans
brought against the bill was based
upon the danger of polygamy be-
ing restored with statehood, and not
because the new state will probably
be Democratic, as the administration
organs try to make out. However,
it can hardly be questioned but that
the friendly feeling which Democrats
have for Utah is based almost entirely
upon the feeling that as state it will
be Democratic in politics, and will.give
them two senators by which to pro-
long their slender hold upon the
senate. But unless 1t is blighted by
that plague spot of polygamy, Utah is
destined to great growth in the
future, and it's political bearings are
as likely to lean towards the Republi-
cans as towards Democracy. But
politics are matter which ought to
be kept in the background, while the
evil which has been curse to the
territory should be strangled SO it
will not reappear in the state.

FUTURE OF MINNESOTA AGRI-
CULTURE.

Prof. Shaw. in the Northeastern Ag
rtcuItu7pst, on the ''Outlook for Agri
culture in Minnesota" while moi
claiming it to be in a fourishing con
ditlon, or that the outlook in every
sense is particularly brilliant, holds
that the future is not all blackness
| nor darkness for an intelligent people
While raising wheat at fifty cents pei
bushel with an average yield of twelve
Dusnels per acre, is not an occupation
to make man feel particularly jubi-
liant, and may cause him many times
to contemplate cutting loose from the
farm, and seek an opening in the city
to earn a livelihood, the writer says:
l would like to ask here, where will
a livelihood be obtained easier in our
agricultural country than on farm?
When the chief industry of our coun-
try languishes, why should we look
for prosperity in other lines? To do
so would be to cherish the vain hope
of the traveller in the desert, who has
tantalizing visions Of abundant water
where no water is to be found"
Agriculture in Minnesota, he thinks,
has proven great in the past through
the raising of wheat, and likewise
the pinch which may be felt today is
through the growing of wheat. The
remedy be sees for this is more wide
ly diversified farming which has been
SO much advocated lately. Not that
he would grow less wheat, but more of
it on less acreage. He believes that
the future success of Minnesota farm
ing depends upon more extensive
stock raising and dairying, which will
put the land in better condition,
whereby the same amount of wheat
which is now raised in the state can
be raised on less acres and at less ex-
pense.
Speaking particularly of hogs, he
says: "Ten pigs for sale from every
farm would mean nearly one million
pigs for the whole state, and this
would mean an additional $4,000, 900
to the revenues of the farmers of this
state, that is to say, from one-third to
one-half as much as will be realized
from all the wheat crop of the state"
But he would not have farmers rush
too extensively into hog-raising for
there would lie the same danger which
confronts them in wheat farming.
But he thinks they should intelligent
ly make it one of the factors of their
years crop. His idea of diversified
farming is to raise something of the
best of everything. His text for Min
nesota farmers is to grow more live
stock in the state, and to grow it in
the best possible form their circum-
stances will permit of, and to improve
those circumstances as fast as possi-
BILE. This, he believes, will place the
farmer upon rock of safety where
the tidal wave of failure in revenue
from one source only cannot dislodge
him. And to the truth of this thous-
ands of farmers throughout southern
Minnesota, who have been following
such lines for several years past, can
testify. Along this path alone lies
safety for the farmer through the
years to come.
