DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

Nothing is better assured tor the flu
ture than the fact that prosperity in
agriculture lies along the lines OF diver
slfed farming. The most feasible
change for the immediate future seems
to be large development of the stock
raising industry, which implies as its
central feature, dairy;ng. Southern
Minnesota has cured itself of the hand
to-mouth, interest-absorbin paralysis
which has it's grip upon the debt
burdened farmers of this almost eAclus-
i've wheat growing area, and the farm
ere throughout that section, are as a
class, prosperous, independent and pro
crossing; and if not rapidly, yet surely
placing themselves upon so sound and
stable a financial footing, that hard
Zines has no terrOrs for them.
The most intelligent of the farmers of
that section have been giving their ex-
peri.nces, and they concur in the one
idea that dairy1ng, and its attendant
has given them best returns.
To be sure there is a discourag1ng
feature in this section of the country
an adverse argunnentun ad hominun-
in the fact that number of experiments
have been made with results calculated
to discourage further effort But there
are causes, not insurmountable to
which such failures are attributable. but
the HERALD does not claim sufficient
practical knowledge OF the meth
DDS which have been employed. or the
methods which ought to be employed. to
obviate the deficiency, but it does kno "
that in other localities with like natural
resources, the farmers have diversified
their farming with profit. and our farm
ers are not less intelligent. less frugal or
less Observation-Disclosures they can do
what their fellows have done elsewhere.
Several years ago there was farm
ers' institute held here, and it resulted
in good, but not i'll the highest good,
because people were not then ripe for
the adoption Of the ideas advanced. 1t
was premature. They neither felt the
necessity for changes then, nor were
they in condition to make them. But
the HERALD is of the opinion that such
an institute held in the near future
would be productive OF great good.
Individual experiment is being made,

THE opposition to Mr.. Washburn
shows strength in inverse ratio to the
nearness of the meeting of the legislat-
ure. Attempt after attempt has been
made to bring some one out who gems
to have at least reasonable excuse for
receiving consideration against Senator
Washburh, but thus far all such attempts
haye been strlkingly abortive. Mr.. Sa-
bin, it is said, will endeavor to stir up
all sorts of opposition to him. and then
seek to concentrate it upon himself.
This state made the mistake once of
supplanting a much better man with
Mr.. Sab,n, but it is hardly prepared to
repeat the experiment. Mr.. Rogers Of
ST. Paul is an ayowed candidate. but
strong dice and stronger assurance are
not the qualifications for senator of
sufficient weight to defeat as valuable
and practical man as Senator Wash
burn. If Mr.. Washburn is to be defeated
ard he is not at the approaching session
OF the legislature, let it be by Il stronger
man than either Mr.. Sabin or Mr.. Rog-
erS.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years was supposed to be iucurable.
For a great manv years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, AMI by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and re-
quires constitutional treatment: Hairs

CLARENCE A. FRENCH OF the Month

ton of enrolling clerk of the senate.
Luther Osburn O the Glyndon News, for
engrossing clerk of the house, and Bron-
son Strain of the Battle Lake Review
for second assistant clerk of the house.
These men have won whatever favors
they may ask at the hands of the party
by consistent and devoted interests to
the party, exerting ten-fold more bene-
fetal influence in behalf OF republican
principles and republican candidates
than most of the aspirants for higher
preferment. They should be selected
both for considerations Of competency
and recognition OF effective service.

IN THE near future many of the pur-
chasers of state lands will be called up
on to make final payment, and it will
be, for most of them, very announcement,
if not Impossible to do so. Why not
extend the time for an indefinite period?
The state is receiving FIVE per cent. on
deferred payments and if the money were
in the treasury it could find no invest
ment so remunera.ive or so safe as the
first lien on thelreal estate Of Minnesota.
When the state ha s had money in hand
to invest it has sought state bonds OF
Missouri, Tennessee, or some equally
prompt interest-paying state, and the
money has gone abroad to remain. It
would seem to be a far better policy for
the state to keep its money at home, in
view of the further fact that it can do
better with it, and ofthe still further fact
that it will be a great accommodation
to many of it's own citizens who would
bave TO pay a much higher rate Ut inter
est. The legislature could enact no la W
more beneficial to the state itself and to
hosts of its taxpayers than one extend
ing the time of payment on its school
and internal improvement lands,

LEGISLATION.

The state legislature has it in it's power
to legislate the populist party of Mime.
sofa out of existence, not, of course by
direct act. but by so shaping legislation
as to remove from state politics the
issues which give coherency to that
party. 1t is not, indeed. to be expect
ed that any other party would seriously
consider the enactment of laws So ultra
and drastic as that party demands, but
behind these demands there is condi-
ton of things existing which requires
change and modification. Take the
matter OF railroad taxation and con-
troll, as an example. 1t has become an
accepted belief, and not without found a.
ton, that the railroads control the legis-
lature, rather than that the legislature
controls the railroads, and all grounds
for such an intimation and belief should
be at once removed. In the matter OF
taxation OF railroads there is abundant
room for improvement. The three per
cent. tax on gross earnings IS easily col
lected, produces a great revenue, ard
has manv points of advantage Of other
methods. But is it just and equitable to
all partles-the railroads as compared
with each other, and the railroads in
their relations to the people, par ticularly
the residents of counties in which are
situated large tracts of granted lands
which escaped all local taxation? The
three per cent. tax goes directly into the
state treasury and is reliet to all coun-
ties proportionately to their assessments,
and as the railroad lands are not as.
sessed the counties having most of such
lands receive least beuefit, and are de-
prlved OF large share of taxes for local
purposes, forcing thereby a donble bur
den upon personal owners OF lands in
these counties. This evidently is not
equitable. If the three per cent. tax is
just, so far as the land grant roads are
concerned, then some special considera-
ton should be shown these counties by
the state to compensate for the loss OF
local taxes.
Again, as between the railroads there
seems to be inequality. A road that
has no land grant pays the same earn
ings tax now exacted from a road which
holds thousands of exempted lands Tor
saie-lands practically held for specula-
tive purposes-upon which no taxes are
paid. If three per cent, is high enough
tor the latter, it is too high Tor the for
mer. There is tair basis somewhere
to be found for railroad taxation. 1t is
not problem too deep Tor human sol,l-
ton, and this legislature would do well
TO address itself to such solution.
This is but one of the unsatisfactory
features OF the relations OF the roads to
the people. Another is just and equit-
able freight tariff upon the products oil
the soi,, one that shall not be unduly
burdensome to the producer or made
quate for yielding a far remuneration to
the roads, which shall bear equitably
upon all sections and all classes.
These questions settled fairly and
reasonably will remove one of the prov
ocat1ons tor the maintenance OF the
peoples party.

Sound Advice.

II. r. Pattingill, superintendent of
public instruction and publisher OF the
School Moderator, carries around heap
Of good, practical common sense under
his hat, aud hence the following from
his excellent educator is all the more ap-
pieciated, although SO far as this county
is concerned the advice is unnecessary:
The local press is, as rule, most ready
and willing to publish announcements,
programs, and calls to teachers, handed
10 by the county school commissioners.
They publish accounts OF meetings, and
almost without exception stand ready to
advance the school work of the county.
1t Is only fair that the county commits
sioner should give to his local papers all
The printing required for his office.
Don't send awav to some city for blanks
that may be made athome. Suppose you
can get the work done for few cents or
few dollars less IN a distant city, when
you wish to communicate with your
teachers you will wish to use the local
press. Editors can't live on wind, and if
you deadhead 500 worth of local notices
you should at least turn in what printing
you can and thus keep alive an active
and efficient ally In education.

Concerning Mr.. Holmes, who will en-
tertain L'Anse audience at the Tow
Hall Monday evening we notice the fol
lowing complimentary mention IN oul
local exchanges:
The entertainment on Tuesday evening
last gave more than satisfaction to the
audience. Mr. Holmes read In four parts
Dickens Christmas Carol in mastery
manner. He interpreted the story Sc
naturally and sympathetically that II
was both profit and pleasure to listen.
Without rant, or meaningless month
ings." without the wild gesticulations.
and senseless extravaganza SO common
to the professional elocutionist, Mr..
Holmes made the several characters Of
the story as real to the imagination and
as true to life, as though they themselves
were the entertainers. He is one Of De-
troit's solid business men, but he must
love elocution as an arr, in order to sue
ceed as he does and he does succeed
splepdidly. A large audience will well
come him should lie again favor Calumet
with an evenings reading.-Copper
Country Evening News.
The literary and musical entertainment
given at the NJ. E. church on Thursday
evening was grand success. VIM. l..
Holmes, the elocutionist of Detroit, en-
tertained the audience with his recita-
tion OF Dickens Christmas Carol. which
he rendered In masterly manner. Local
talent furnished the music and 1t was
excellent. The audience was an intelli-
gent, large and appreciative one. Some
thing over 500 was raised by the enter
tainment which will be used to purchase
seats for the churcL.-Ontonagon Herald.
AS we predicted, the elocntionary en-
tertainment given by William l.. Holmes,
of Detroit. assisted by local talent, at the
M. E. church last evening, was all that
could be required. Mr.. Holmes is, with
out douot, the best elocutionist that ever
visited the city and his recitals Of
''Scrooge and the Ghost" kept the audi
euce In good humor from beginning to
nd.-Negaunee Iron Herald.

straight up and one mile high with man
at the top, was to start to fall at the rate

the man would start to slide down the
pole at the same rate OF speed, where
