THE petty personal spite which the
present administration is exhibiting
toward some of the important moves
which were made by the last ad minis
tration, will not commend it to the
sober thinking people of the nation.
An administration that has a grudge
against important act If its prede-
cessor and hits them simply because
they were instituted by it, without
being able to give good sound reason
therefore, farther than trumped eX-
cuse, is sadly lacking the elements of
patriotic craftsmanship.

THE Washburn-C Crosby Co., Mime
apolis, have completed their exhibit
for the Worlds Fair which occupy a
space OF 19x44 feet in the agricultural
bui ding. The exhibit will be a per-
feet representation of their mills and
elevators. Though the mills are re-
produced upon the scale of one inch to
the foot, they will be large enough to
allow people to walk through them.
A milling outfit will be put in and
flour manufactured on the spot. An
other interesting feature will be a
panoramic view Of $500 acre wheat
field showing the source from which
the mills are supplied with wheat.
While small railroad supplied with
little cars filed with wheat will be
shown running through the mills.
The other millers of the state will
also have an exhibit of their product
at the fair.

A WRITER in the Yale RevieoU at
tributes the Russian famine, which
has existed more or less for the past
few years, to the changed conditions
of society there since the liberation
of the serfs in 1861. He says that
prior to that time the land was well
cultivated, as it was controlled by the
wealthy. But since then he says the
cultivation has been growing worse.
The reason for this is that the wooden
pillow which the peasant uses is unable
to reach down into the rich soil below
the surface. 1t simply scratches the
surface, and the continual cropping
in this manner has exhausted the lit
tie soil that is reached. Were the
land to be plowed as the American
farmer plows his, new soil would be
turned up that has never yet been
touched, and the fields would be as
fruitful as ever. Added to this the
famine serves to make matters
worse. The half-fed horses are not
able to pillow the fields as they ought
to be, even though the peasant had
the tools to properly do the work with
and so his condition is truly pitiable
one, and the outlook in that country
is a particularly gloomy one. The
writer thinks, however, that the
eventual outcome will be the absorb
tion of the lands by the more prosper
Gus, and changed condition of agri-
culture on more intelligent, basis,
the result of which will be that Amer
lea will have stronger competitor in
the worlds markets for agricultural
products than she has..yet known.

WORLDS FAIR PRICES.

Referring to the fact that an east
ern association offers to bring New
Englanders to the Worlds Fair, furn-
ish them with rooms. meals and ad-
mission to the Exposition grounds for
ten days for $50, the Chicago Inter
Ocean says that low as these rates
seem, they will afford Slight margin.
Continuing it says:
Cost will be just what the visitor
chooses to make 1t. Rooms, small it
is true, and somewhat remote from
the grounds but within reach by
steam and cable cars, are advertised
for rent during the exposition season
at So per week; add 20 cents per day
for Car fares during SIX days-Sl 20;
so cents per day for meals, seven days
So. 60, and So for six admissions to
the grounds and you have six days for
the exposition and a seventh to the
city at large at cost of $l1.S0 This
is an estimate on basis of rigid econ
omy, but it an estimate on practi-
cable basis. A single person of aver
age shrewdness can get along comfort
ably at cost of $l5 per week, and by
an expenditure of $40 he can take in
theaters and other places of amuse
ment. All expenses in excess of $50
may be estimated as for the higher
class of comforts or of luXuries.
''The fact is that the competition
for patronage of visitors will be spir-
tied. EXtortion will be impossible,
except in cases where the folly of the
visitors invites it,"
This most forcibly illustrates the
fact that if arrangements are made
before hand, one can make visit to
the exposition for reasonable sum of
money.

THE BLUE EARTH DELEGATION.

Blue Earth county and Mankato
have reason 10 feel kindly toward the
legislature which has just adjourned.
They have been we'll treated by it.
Not much was asked for as compared
with some other sections of the state,
but all the important matters asked
for received due consideration and
favorable action. This is largely, if
not entirely, due to the effective
work done by the delegation from this
county. On all matters pertaining to
the welfare and advancement of the
county and city, the Blue Earth dele
cation was always unanimous and
this added great weight in it's favor.
Being divided politically between
the two parties, they of course differ
ed upon political questions, and each
will no doubt receive the commenda
tion of his party for his action, but
on nearly all matters outside of party
we believe the people will agree that
our senator and representatives have
made good record. In regard to the
Normal appropriation they worked as
one man for it's success. They believed
the sum asked for was just and right,
and they would not consent to its re-
duction. And as result Of their
united work they obtained the amount
asked for, and this without compro-
missing their independence in any
manner.
With the session Senator Barr
closed his term of four years service
in the senate with good record. He
has at all times been watchful of the
interests of Blue Earth county and
for our city, and was an interested
participation in all matters pertaining
to the state at large. Conservative
in all matters, his vote has always
been found upon the right side of all
questions under consideration. His
record is one he has reason to be
proud of, and is viewed with satisfac-
tion by his friends, and reflects credit
upon the county he represented.

The water supply of Chicago is at
tracing considerable attention in
view OF the Worlds Fair as to it's
purity and it is undoubtedly fact
that many people are hesitating
about going there for an extended
stay, at least, because of the reports
which are in circulation. The recent
analysis of the water of that city in
London shows that it is no worse than
is the water of other cities, and that
the pure water of Lake Michigan will
rival the supply of London in it's pur-
ity. At the Minnesota building a
Pastenr filter is being put in and
pure supply of water will be obtained.
1t is claimed for this filter that water
passing through it will rival spring
water as to purity and that all sedi-
ment therein is removed. In view of
this fact, all visitors at the Minnesota
building will be sure Of getting a sup
ply of pure drinking water.
