Not much sale for bluing this spring,
farmers have a good supply for the present.
Now is good time to study up diyersi-
fled farming while we arc waiting for seed
time to come.

Farmers are at loss to know what to do

that pile of manure that lays nearthe stable,

haul on plowed fields.

The closing lines on an article in last

ture, and the growing crops need an
abundance of it, But we farmers can't
see where the growing crops will be. if the
present weather continues, uniess they are
imported.
There is great inquiry for that early
spring that some of the, weather-wise
prpphesied. A man, informed us recently
that it had been postponed on account d
the weather. We are thankful to know the
reason, nevertheless, farmers are getting
impatient. The fields are SO wet and soft
that it is almost impossible to drive team
across them, and it will be week before
farmers can do any seeding unless there il
a great change in the weather. -

GunOOWder,

The origin of that compound of salt
peter, charcoal, and sulphur known to
commerce as gunpowder, is very
ancient-in fact SO ancient that the
first record we have of its use is by the
Chinese in the ninth century, in the
preparation of fireworks, and as the
propelling force of rockets. Seven
hundred years elapsed before one hui
man being found that by using it in
an iron tube he could kill his fellow,
for from the sixteenth century dates
the discovery of firearms. Carlysle
says In "Sartor Resartus," that the
great benefit of gunpowder is shat it
makes all men equally tall'-for the
purpose of fighting. The more mo-
dern discovery of steam transportation
is somewhat like, in that it makes all
men Eequally speedy in travel. The
sick. can move as rapidly as the we'll,
the old become swift as the young,
while the modern improvements in
safety of operation, and comfortable
nessof surroundings, nearly annihilate
space and time. And nowhere does
this equalization of humanity in speed
of motion appear more plainly than in
the well-equipped lines of the Bur
lington Route, running between all
the principal cities of the West. For
maps, time table and tickets of this
railroad, apply to your home agent, or

Carl Hanse, aged 20 years and
months, died at the Willmar Seminary
on the 9th, inst. from strangulated
hernia. Mr.. Hanse was a bright, up
right and very conscientious young
man, who had attended the Seminary
several years and had nearlyt COM
pleted the classical course that
institution. He was at the head of
his classes in all his school work and
a leader among his fellow students in
the various school socities and organ
izations. and many are the friends
who mourn his early death. A surg
ical operation was performed by DIR.
Frost, of Willmar, to save his life. but
medical aid came too late to be of any
avail. The remains were taken to
Morris for. interment.

1t seems outrageous that the
United States supreme court should
grant the motion to advance the case
of Boss McKane to the head of the
calendar. We know of no more
dangerous element than the BULLDOG
ing, ballot box stuhing, political boss,
and to have convicted scoundrel of
this class recognized by the highest
court in the land to the extent of hay
ing the consideration of his case take
precedence, is shame and reproach.
There can be but one inference in
cases such as this, and that is,
the highest judicial body in the
nation is susceptible of political con
troll.

49,
Colorado s supreme court has grant
ed writ of custer, in the fire and po-
lice board controversy. While this
is victory for loody-bridles Waite it
also demonstrates, that questions that
all the bayonets and bullets at martial
laws command, could not successfully
cope with or enforce, can be quietly,
peaceably and effectively settled by
civil law. None have denounced the
use of troops to suppress lawlessness
or enforce the laws, more savagely
than have blatant demagogues of the
Waite Tillman stamp. Yet personal
animosities are made pretext to use
the forces at their command, and the
power accident has unfortunately in
vested them with, is made to serve
base personal ends. The average
demagogue would be tyrants and an
archists if they were not towards.

The American Railway Union is the
result of the wholesale reduction of
wages by the railroad managers.
They began to cut and slash the wages
of those employees who were not pro-
tected by organization, and as result
the employees were forced to organ
ize in order to protect themselves. It
is fact that clerks, car-repairers, sec
ton men and other operatives who
have never been banded into brother
hoods, have had their wages cut and
re-cut until they are down below the
living notch, and it is hence not to be
wondered at, that organization is
looked upon as a source of protection.

The Duluth chamber of commerce
will protest against. Maj. Baldwin's
bill permitting the secretary of them
terror to withdraw lands in Minnesota
from entry under the homestead and
timber and stone acts, upon a showing
that such property contains. gold, OF
silver in paying quantities. The bill
already passed the house, and now
before the senate, gives the secretary
power to set apart any of the govern
ment land in the state. A straight
application of the mineral laws to
Minnesota gold lands would be, ac-
ceptable, but the setting aside OF
specific tracts when it is proved to
the secretary's satisfaction that they
contain gold or silver, is viewed with
suspicion.

The chief factor to control the

far and that the weather for the
