FROM MEXICO SOUTH.

Mr.. William f. Skunk. United States
engineer, who has been engaged on the
survey for an International railway from
Mexico southwark, has his report ready
for the Intercontnental Commission at
Washington. As may be expected. he does
not find that there are any physical
difficulties Insuperable. Engineers to-day
can carry railroad across any mountain
chain, rivers or swamps. and they do not
hesitate to bridge straits and estuaries.

for the moment. One Of these is the

PUSHING PECKHAM.

Washington dispatches say that mighty
effort is being made to secure the con firm
Btion or MIR. Peckham to the Supreme
Bench. The Sun said some DAYS ago that
while the opponents of confirmation had a
majority at that time it was not by aov
means certain tina. they could hold il.
The great corporation magnates, the Sun
said, had been summoned TO aid Mr. Peck
ham. To quote from that journal:
What interest these great powers have in the
confirmation of Mr.. Peckham is best known to
themselves. Certain it is that as strenuous
efforts are being made for bis confirmation as
were made for the repeal Of the silver purchase
act Senators are telling their friends who
these important busybod are-these million
aires who are helping 10 make a Supreme
Judge. Ii Will be rather surprising if great
scandal does not grow out of this contest.
When President passes over the Cir
cult Bench from which tie Supreme Bench
would naturally be supplied and appoints
a corporation lawyer the material for a
scandal is at hand. There can be no more
deadly attack upon our Institutions than
to place on the Supreme Bench LAWYERS

Our soil has wonderful sustaining
powers, for, despite one of the dryest,
hottest and most prolonged periods
of drouth ever known in this region,
the crops look thrifty, Wig rous and
promising. To our cool, damp clay
subsoil is due this condition, and
that the unfayorable season has not
wrought a total destruction is
marvellous, and testifes to the sur
prising power of the soil of this
county to withstand drouth, This
feature of our soil to nourish and
nurture grain in times of prolonged
drouth, when combined with its
natural richne S., makes our land
especially desirable.

The truth of the adage, "there is
many slip twixt cup and lip" was
verified Monday, when the returns
from years patient labor were swept
away, even while they were being
harvested. In these times when it is
barely possible to meet current ex-
penses in any line of business, a
storm like that of Monday means
distress, suffering and privation to
many homes, and just now is a
calamitous misfortune to the COM
munity at large, as well as to the in
dividual losses. It is exceedingly
discouraging, and must necessarily
entail hardship, but we must appeal
to the more fortunate to extend sub
stantial aid and relief wherever ne
cessary.

TEMPERANCE GnLuMN.

The following resolutions were adopt
ed at the Prohibition Legislative con-
vention, held in Morris on Wednesday
last:
We, the representatives of the Pr0hibi-
ton party for the 49th Legislative District
Of the State of Minnesota, in convention as
sembled. recognizing Almighty God as the
source Of government, to whose law all
human enactments should conform, do
hereby declare our allegiance to the prin-
clples of the National Prohibition party, MS
set forth in the Cincinnati platform, and
furthermore declare,
/. That the traffic In intoxicating liquors
is crime before the moral law and should
be made one by statute law.
2. The right Of franchise should not be
denied or abridged on account Of sex.
g. The money of the country should be
gold, silver and paper, inter-conyertibie, IS
sued by the general government only, and
full legal tender for all debts, public and
private.
4. We favor the free and unlimited coin
| age of silver at the present ratio OF 10 to |.
5. The railway, telephone and telegraph
systems should be rigidly controlled by the
| government in the interests OF the public,
allowing a reasonable compensation for cap
ital actually employed, and if government
control does not afford adequate relief from
present abuses, then we favor government
| ownership of the same, and to this end the
/ civil service in all its departments should be
1 divorced from politics.
6. We demand a graduated income tax, so
the burden of supporting the government
/ could be levied on what people possess in
stead of what they consume.
Z. We believe that the tariff question
I should be taken out of politics and put into
| the hands of non-partisan commission OF
experts.
| 8. We demand that rail road lands and
! rail road property should be taxed same as
other peoples property.
| q. We demand the election of President,
ce-President and U. S. Senators by di-
rect vote of the people, and extending the
term of the President and Vice-President to
six years. .....
10. We believe in the system known as
Initiative and Referendum.
| IL. We demand an amendment to the
/ Australian ballot law of this state, striking
out the fee required by candidates for office.
IL. While we believe the traffic in alco-
holic liquor is the dominantquestion before
the American people, yet we realize that
there are other important questions that
vitality concern the prosperity and happi-
ness of the whole people, and pledge that
O r candidates if elected, will deal with all
questions from the standpoint of citizens,
and not of partisans, on the principle of the
greatesi good to the greatest number.

WILD OATS,

EDITOR SUN:-In q recent issue, you
made inquiry in regard to wild oats and its
eradication. have made extensive inqui-
ries and have found number of farmers
who have had experience with it, and find
that men differ greatly in their opinions.
One opinion is, that it is easily destroyed,
and the other extreme is, that it is jmpOS-
sible to eradicate it. There is also differ
ence in opinion as regards their value as
feed. Some claim they are worthless, and
others that if ground, make good feed for
horses or any kind of stock. In regard to
exterminating the wild oat, those who have
had large experience with them tell me they
can be eXterminated by the right kind OF
cultivation and a large quantity of persever-
ance. The wild oat is an annual, therefore
with proper cultivation it can be eradicated.
Plant corn or potatoes, and pull all the oats
that the cultiyator does not take out; but /
think the best method is to summer fallow.
But before summer following, say early in
the spring, go over the field with disc or
cutaway harrow, then when the time comes
to summer fallow, the oats will, all or
nearly all, be growing and will be good
green crop of manure to pillow under, and
you will accomplish two things-enrich
| your land and exterminate the oats.
Sow the field with wheat the next year,
| and what few oats are left, if any, can be
pulled up. If the oats have spread all over
| your farm, summer fallow few acres every
year. Another very good way is to sow the
common oat and cut and cure the same as
hay. AS the wild oat ripens very early il
will be necessary to cut as soon as they
show heads.
The wild oat is spreading through the
country very rapidly, and it is necessary
for farmers to adopt some method to ex.
terminate it, and that very soon, or it will
take possession of some farms, and find
the old saying, ian ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" will apply to the
wild oat and wild mustard, so when / see
either of them pull them up, consequently
my farm is free from those pests.
