Our Corn Belt.

Marshall News Messenger: That
Minnesota may become great corn,
growing state, is among the certain
ties. In 1870 there was very little
corn grown in this state. In the
early settlement of Minnesota it was
given out that this was too cold eli
mate to grow corn, and, as a matter
of fact, the farmers who planted corn
in the southern counties didn't get
respectable crops. To-day all that is
changed. The corn crop is increasing
all over the Minnesota river valley
and becoming regular annex to the
hog belt. The fact is, that, after the
soil in the northwest is turned up and
cultivated for a number of years and
is we'll rotted, the chemical changes
effected by the sun and rain increase
the moisture and make good corn
land. In Illinois and Iowa, now con-
sidered in the corn belt, it was as diff
ficult to raise decent crop of corn
so years agoas it was in Minnesota, Is
years ago. Today Illinois produces
166,O0O,000 bushels of corn, Iowa over
WO,00O,0OO bushels, Minnesota. which
Dyears ago produced hardly any,
produces 25,0O0,00O bushels from
about 100000 acres. The corn pro
duction in this state is catching up
with the wheat production and the
corn producing area is steadily ex-
tending northward. It will only be
necessary to make careful selection
of varieties to carry the corn and hog
belt up to the International line.

This village is badly in need of
cleaning up. All the streets, alleys

the huge manure pile which stands
in the north part of town. The
person who put it there should be
made to haul it away or be prose-

Chairman Wilson Speaks.

In n letter to the New York Press. Mr..
Wilson, chairman Of the Committee or
Ways and Means Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives. gives his views on the situa-
ton. He stands to his guns. He does not
admit that It was the proposed "tarin re-
form" that caused the Demo-
cratic defeat OF last week. 1t was he
thinks, due In n large measure to indus
trial depression" or hard times" He
adds to the causes Of that defeat one
which comes we'll from the mouth OF
philosophical statesman. but which no.
pody else has named except him. so far
as we know. We quote Mr.. Wilson as
follows:
1.-The rapid adoption Of the great instrn-
mentalities Of modern industry ana trade
the complete revolution which these are
bringing about In production and distribu-
ton. their steady oblteration OF immemo-
rial handicrafts their distortion Of many
industries-all these together with the I'M
settled relations between labor and capi-
tai. have swept us into an era where Tor
some yo1rs II may be increasingly difncult
for any one party to hold on to the FED
eral Government for any long time.
That IA to say, machinery is so rapidly
taking the place OF hand-labor that the
working classes cannot accommodate
themselves to the new order OF things as
fast as they must II they are to keep
pace with the times Alas. where Is the
statesman who can safely pilot us through
the condition of things 80 graphically ana
so forciby described by Mr.. Wilson?
Mr. Wilson attacks the long and inde-
feasible delay" in the Senate on the tariff
bill. and thinks that II that delay had not
occurred our late elections would have re-
suited differently. We agree that the busl-
ness Of the country was kept in 1.-The tor
ture Of suspense and uncertainty" but
we cannot lay the whole blame upon the
Senate.
We agree. too and have said heretofore.
that there will be no restoration OF the
Mckinley bill But neither will there be
of the Wilson bill. nor Of the pop-gun
bills.
Mr.. Wilson hopes that by 1896 the clouds
will have vanished from our skies. In
deed, he says they are ALREADY breaking"
Taken altogether Mr.. Wilson's letter Is
unobjectionable. He x prudent In speech.

The difference between the vote Of New
York city and that Of Brooklyn on the
question OF municipal consolidation Is In
teresting. In New York the total vote
was only about $1,000 or considerably
less than one third Of that cast for can
didates for Office. but OF that over three
fifths was In the affirmative.
In Brooklyn the total vote was over
$4,000, or about five seventies as much
as that for candidates for Office, and the
margin In favor of consolidation was only
about 1900. Doubtless one explanation
OF the opposition to consolidation in
Brooklyn is that In the production Of
the great city Its name and identity are
to disappear. And no doubt hundreds Of
place holders voted mo- fearing that
their services would not be retained by
the new municipality. The vote Is not
binding upon the Legislature. 1t was
only intended to give opportunity for ex-
preston of public sentiment on the Ques-
ton.

cans will have a majority OF one or two
In the Senate Of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. But" he adds, much will depend
on whether the silver senators. Stewart
and Jones. will act with the Republicans
or not. With their cooperation the Re-
publicans viii be In complete control OF
the legislative branch Of the government.
1t remains to be seen, furthermore,
whether Nebraska, and other legislatures
of Republican States, may not elect sena-
tors pledged to the free coinage Of silver.
and whether they will act in harmony
with the majority Of the Republican sena-
tors on the leading question OF party

that the Democrats Of that State VIII

Recollect This.

The temporary questions OF the day do
not belong to the creed which permanent
ly divides the Democratic from the Re-
publican party. and ought not to be al
lowed to be made part Of It. A States
rights man may as consistently be gold
bug as n silver lunatic. The Washington
Post says on this silver question::
Neither Of the two great parties has
ever met this Issue squarey In national
platform. Both Of them have treated
1t gingerly with standing resolutions that
could readily be interpreted 10 suit the
bankers Of Wall street or the silver mine
operators of the West In the State cam
paigns of this year both parties have been
on both sides of this question"

" Ambiguity" in Politics.

Let us have peace. and n constitutional
convention. which will remove all am
biguity from politics.-The Danville Regis
ter.
A constitutional convention is bound to
come at no remote day; but II we are con-
tent to continue in force the Walton law.
that time may be postponed somewhat.
There is no doubt Of the determination
of our people to remove the danger
which threatens the life OF the State at
every election All things considered. the
Walton law worked well at the election
last Tuesday. and was helpful in the
direction stated. In most OF those coun-
ties where complaint Is heard as 10 It's
operations. the voters were either preju-
diced against IL In advance or made In
adequate efforts to acquaint themselves
with its requirements and workings.
We shall have two more trials Of the
law before the General Assembly meets
again-the county and magisterial-d istrict
elections next spring. and the legislative
elections next fall. We trust that by
next December the law will be accepta-
BILE to all Democrats. but II 1t is not
land cannot be made acceptable) we know
Of nothing else to be done but to submit
to the people the question Of calling a
convention 10 revise and amend the State
Constitution. and particularly that por-
ton Of 1t relating to voters qualifications.
After what has just occurred In our
sister State Of North Carolina. no sensible
southern Democrat should hereafter allow
himself to be deuded by the idea that
the negro is mo longer to be feared at
the polls" The negro was very much
'in evidence" at the elections in North
Carolina. For years he had been playing
the part Of Brer Rabbit-"ly'n low"-but
when he saw his opportunity up he sprang
and threw his vote against the Demo-
cratic party. What has happened In
North Carolina will happen in Virginia
whenever we ignore the experiences Of
history: whenever we fail to do our duty
by those colored men. few In number
though they be. who wish the privilege OF
voting as they prefer without molestation
from persons Of their own race.
