and rich pastures, peculiarly adapt
it to dairy purposes and the producing
of such products of the finest grades,
while our facilities for getting them
to the consumer in any part Of the
county are unrivalled.
Instead of 1000 cows as returned
by the assessors in 1893, the county
ought soon to have more than double
that number, and the products there
from equal in quality and quantity,
those of any county in the state. The
county has already made good pro-
gress in this direction, but it should
not rest content until this industry
has reached a far more advanced state
Of development. It's success means
a greater degree of prosperity for our
farmers, and likewise corresponding
degree for our business men.
Capital judicously invested in dairy
ing in connection with other farm
ing cannot fail to bring fair returns.
Such has been the experience wher-
ever tried, and such we believe will
be the result if tried here to greater
extent.

HE DIDN'T VOTE,

The St. Louis Globe Democrat calls
attention to the fact that there was
one Democrat in the house who sat
silent In his seat when the vote was
taken on the Wilson bill. His name
was called, but he failed to respond.
His idea of his duty to his party would
not allow him to openly oppose his
party measure which he had help
frame, while the experience he has
been gathering lately prevented him
from going any farther in it's support,
so he remained silent in his seat. This
man was Mr.. Stevens, Of Massachu-
sets, an extensive manufacturer, and
a member of the ways and means CON-
mittee. OF him the Globe Democrat
says:
The country is familiar with his
name as that of vigorous and per-
sistent advocate of tariff refOrm-a
Democrat who has never missed an
opportunity to denOunce protection as
a system of legallzed fraud and rob-
berry. Why, then, did he keep his
mouth tightly shut when the chance
was presented to vote as he has SO
long been talking? The answer to
this question is interesting and sig
nificanJ. 1t is to the effect that Mr. !.
Stevens, besides being a politician and
congressman, is largely interested
in the manufacturing business, and
he has been obliged to close his mills
on account of the prevailing depres-
sion. Thus the matter has been bro't
to him in practical way, and he has
seen new light, so to speak. He is
still a tariff reformer in theory, per-
haps, but he is no longer bigot upon
the subject. Personal experience has
taught him a lesson that makes his
free trade philosophy miserable
mOckery.

A CONTEMPORARY calls to mind the
fact that no chief Justice of the SUI
preme court of the United States, be-
ginning with John Marshall, WIN,
without question, was the greatest OF
them all, had had any experience as
Judge prior to his appointment to
that court. Marshall was secretary
of state when he was appointed; Ia.
ney was in Jackson's cabinet as attor.
ney general and secretary of the treas
ury; Chase was Lincoln's secretary of
the treasury; Waite was an Ohio law
yer in practice; and Fuller was an
Illinois lawyer, also in practice. This
constitutes somewhat remarkable
fact, and may as we'll be, remembered
when one is disposed to criticise a
president for not raising minor judges
of the state or circuit courts to vacan-
cies on the highest of our judicial tri-

FROM time to time the statement
has gone forth that the income tax
feature was not strong in the senate
and would surely be defeated. The
Washington correspondent of the CHI
cage Inter Ocean states, however, that
1t is developing considerable strength
in that body and that the eastern
Democrats are becoming alarmed
over the prospects of it's passing. In
fact it is said that this feature Of the
bill is stronger in the senate than the
rest of the measure is. The Dem
ocratic opponents of the income tax
in their alarm, have called upon the
Republicans to help them defeat it,
but they are not likely to receive
much comfort or aid therefrom. The
Republicans are not so much disposed
to secure certain changes as they are
interested in defeating the entire
measure, and so are not particular in
helping some of the Democrats out
of the difficulty they haye tumbled in
to by allying themselves with all the
vagaries afloat in the country. The
indications now are that the senate
finance committee will report the
bill back with but few changes, and
that the fight over it will be fought
out on the floor Of the senate. In the
meantime the administration will
bring all the power at its command to
bear in coercing Democratic sem
ators to fall into line and swallow
Wilson's bitter pill. The question OF
interest now is, has it enough patron
age left to wash it down?

THE "CUCkOO" TIMES.

These are days when the administra-
tion organs feel very sensitive, and it
takes a very light remark to make
them sQuirm. But in their defense
of the Administrations un-American
and unpatriotic Hawaiian policy, they
have strayed into corner where they
are i'll at ease, and the mouthful they
have bitten off is tough, ragged edged
and indigestible, and it rakes the
throat and tears the esOphagus as it
goes down, causing them in their an
guish to make strange assertions.
This is doubtless what led the Mime
apolis Times, the other day, to take ex-
ceptiOn to some editorial remarks
the FREE PRESS made on the endorse
ment of President Cleveland by the
house, in which it says the FREE
PRESS sis making rapid strides in the
direction of partisan demagoguery of
the meanest type" In this respect
the junior administrator organ of the
state gives evidence in it's comments
of having reached the goal of "parti-
san demagoguery" and descended into
the lowest and dirtiest pool.
Having started out to criticise the
statement made by the FREE PRESS,
it begs the question entirely: 1t bases
it's remarks wholly upon "My Com
missioner" Blount's one-sided report,
following the idea that he is infallible

THE committee of the Minneapolis
Board of Trade which had charge of
the course of addresses upon munich
pal subjects in that city, made ar
rangements with Mr.. Louis f. Post,
of New York. to deliver an address
upon the subject of "Municlpal Tax
alton" Mr.. Post is disciple of the
school Of Henry George, and believes
in single tax upon land values. For
this reason, it is said, some hostility
has been shown by some members OF
the board to the action of the COM
mlttee in securing Mr.. Post. Just
why, is not made plain. Because he
favors the single tax and urges it's
adoption is no sign it must be fol-
lowed. The Board of Trade of the
-four city has entered upon good
plan for arousing public interest in
municipal reform, and it should make
its course as broad as possible. All
sides should be heard, and then from
all the views upon the question the
best can be CLEANED. Not only is this
method going to prove beneficial to
Minneapolis, but it ought to prove
more or less so to all the cities, large
or small, of the northwest. But the
greatest benefits will not be obtained
unless an impartial investigation is
accorded to all sides.

WEARY AND DISGUISED

From the time the late James G..
Blaine was nominated for the preSi-
dency, Harper's Weekly has supported
Mr.. Cleveland and apologiZed for the
Democratic party, and asked the coun-
try to again place it in power and I'M
der the guidance of the MAN of Des-
tiny" it would redeem itself and give
the country the wise legislation it
needs. But there is limit to all en-
durance, and even Harper's Weekly has
seen the folly of it's course and turns
disguised from the party it has been
supporting. In it's last issue it says:
The people are getting weary of the
Democratic party. They are out of
patience with it because of its inetfi-
cheney, its cOwardice, its lack Of prin-
ciple and consistency, it's imbecility.
1t would seem as though it had be-
come habituated to cringe before a
Republican majority, to abandon prin-
ciple and honor, to secure by cunning
what it dare not openly fight for, that,
now in the day when it is in power in
both the executive and legislative
branches of the government, it still
cringes before the threats, and it is
still afraid of the taunts Of it's oppo-
neuts. 1t dare not execute the COM
mission given to it. 1t does not trust
in the majority behind it. 1t has no
confidence in it's principles. A COM
pany of Populists, whose existence is
due to it's own folly, scares it's states
men in the south, and noisy band OF
protected manufacturers make them
tremble in the north.

Those who doubt his attitude on pro-
lection will gather some information
from his speech in this particular.

SOME one who has been keeping a
record Of the number of factories
which the free trade press has an
nounced as opening up for business
since the financial depression closed
them up, has found that two thous-
and nine hundred and seventy-four
more factories have opened up than
have existed, according to statistics,
in this country. In their attempt to
bolster up affairs and give them a
prosperous appearance so as to sugar
coat the economic change they are
about to bring about, the free traders
seem to have drawn largely upon their
imagination.

AN ELEMENT OF PROSPERITY.

There is today stronger sentiment
for diversified farming existing in the
northwest than has heretofore been
the case. Farmers find that they
must turn their attention to other
matters than that of raising wheat.
They have found that the man who is
busy only five months in the year and
idle the remainder OF the time, so far
as the earning capacity Of his farm is
concerned, will never increase his
bank account. Therefore they have
turned to diversifying their crops,
and wherever this has been done the
prosperity of the farmer has been in
creased.
One of the important factors of
diversified farming is dairying.
Where it is the most extensively fol-
lowed, the greatest degree Of pros
perity has been attained, and the
financial depression Of the past sew
eral months has rested more lightly.
First class dairy products are always
in good demand and command good
prices, while the farm instead of be-
ing drained of it's fertility, is con-
stahtly growing better where dairy
ing is followed, thus increasing the
yield of other crops raised, and con-
sequently reducing the cost of pro-
ductiOn.
In Minnesota Freeborn county has
taken the lead in dairy matters and
the progress which dairying makes
there marks it's advance along the
path Of prosperity. One has only to
look over the columns of the Albert
Lea papers to note the prosperous air
which abounds among the farmers of
of that county, and they have re-
peatedly stated that the present hard
times have been but little noticed
among the farmers there. 1t is not
to be supposed that diversified farm
ing and dairying will do away with
financial panics, trade depressions
and crop failures, etc. These are
matters which come and go with the
years, but such course Of farming
has tendency to ameliorate the
effects of such disasters.
In 1893, according to the report of
the state dairy commissioner, there
were 210 creameries In operation in
this state. The number of COWS in
the state were 27,424. The amount
of butter made at the creameries
reached lS,9l6,300 pounds, valued at
S., 624 .6l0. The report mentions Free
born county as the best organized
dairy county in the state. 1t has 49,
l43 COWS and % cooperative cream
cries and during the past year made
2,250.000 pounds of butter, valued at
S5O0,OO0
What has been accomplished in
Freeborn county can. just as easily
be wrought out here in Blue Earth
county. There is no portion of the
state better adapted to dairying pur-
poses, and instead Of following we
ought to lead. The general makeup
of the county. interspersed as it is with
timber and prairie; It's rich soil Ca

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Bill introduced in the House by Rep

Bill introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Mcguire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. L. Representative
Mcguire to-day introduced postal teie-
graph bill. 1t provides for the construc-
ton of telegraph lines between the prin-
cipal cities of the States, to be operated
by the Government and gradually ex-
tended, if successful. to other cities and
towns, thereby establishing system of
telegraphic communication between cities
and town as extensive as the postal sys-
tenn is now. or as extensive as is consist
ent with the cost of operation.
uniform rate of tolls is to be fixed, re-
gardless of distance. The maximum rate
tor commercial, personal and other mes
five cents for every subsequent ten words.
Press messages snail pay maximum tolls
of twenty cents for 100 words.
In liking the rate on press kilograms
the PostmaSter-Gene is authorized TO
somewhat reduce the charges in proper
ton to the distance or consistent with
other conditions. The postmasters of va
rious cities and towns are to act as local
postal telegraph agents.
Representative Mcguire does not be-
lieve the sentiment against paternalism
in the governmental policy will operate
against his bills passage. He believes
that the sentiment Of the people will, per-
hapS, at the present time, or, at any rate,
in the near future, induce Congress not
only to operate the telegraph, but the rail-
road lines as well.
Mcguire will soon introduce O bill au-
thorlzing governmental control of the
Union and Central Pacific railroads, un-
der which Eastern railroads may run
trains over these roads from Council
Bluffs TO Oakland.

which will carry them to the battle
ground, leaving the Governor, militia
and the rest of the opposition forces.
1t is hoped, far behind. 1t is be-
lieved that, if the courts sustain
the holding of the fight, the Governor
will adopt some heroic measures in order
to show his personal jurisdiction.
Manager Bowden stated that the line of
action has not yet been fully decided
upon. In few days the club will be pre-
pared to make it public. Whatever IS
decided upon would be within the limit
of the law. and he emphasized the fact
that the fight would certainly come If.
Bowden has written to Governor Itch
ell in regard to the clubs position tho
matter. AS yet he has received no al swer.
He thinks from indications that there Ia
nothing very serious in the Governors
attitude.
Charley Mitchell has another grievance.
He says that Corbett signed the new arti-
cles through Manager Brady, and Mitch
ell will not abide by them unless CorbetT
signs personally. Mitchell is on the
wrong track. Corbett put down his name
to the articles, and Brady had nothing to-
do with it.
