Amid the multitude Of candidates for
sheriff there is one who has a record
which is a credit to him, and commends
itself not only to the few who haye
business directly with the sheriff's Office.
but to every tax payer who has the well
fare OF the county at heart. John p.
Hammered is model officer. Diligent in
the discharge of every duty, he has an
accurate knowledge of the requirements
ofthe office which is worth much to
every one in direct interest as we'll as to
the public at large whom he serves ,laily.
As custodian of great public interests he
has ever been faithful, prompt and affa-
BILE. Any citizen, no matter how humble
his position or how seemingly trivial
his business, is assured OF the utmost
courtesy at his hands. AS a court officer
he has gained the esteem of bench, bar,
jury, clients and the public generally,
and his peculiar fitness for the position
has always been fayorably commented
upon by the judges under whose inn
mediate direction he serves. Whatever
arguments have previously been used
not only in his behalf, but in favor of re
tanning competent men in office are
peculiarly applicable to Mr.. Hammered.
The HERALD sees no reason why it
should fail to render exact justice to a
faithful public officer because of differ
emit political faith, and in tace of the fact
that there is no republican nominee. Mr..
Hammered has always been partic ularly
friendly to western Stearns, and is the
only county officer who has the courtesy
to select his office deputy from this sec
ton, and the courage to appoint re.
publican because of his fitness.

There is remarkable lack ofharmony

gular democratic nominee of his party,
and until few davsago. had clearfeld

HERALD does not know. it has been re-
ported that Henry Keller has been en-
courageing the Kraker candidacy. Mr..
Minnette resents this interference by
announcing himself candidate for
the senate. And the war is on. Mr..
Miunette says he is in to stay to the end.
and believes he can be elected. Mr.. Kel-
Ter is confident that MIR. Minnette has no
great strength and is sure of an

The Crops of Minnesota.

If Minnesota produced 100000
bushels of wheat this year, in spite of
the drouth. as estims ted by Mr.. Rogers,
the secretary of the Minneapolis cham
Der of commerce, it has done much bet
ter than the average of preceding years.
1t is probably nearly 2O,O0O,OOO BUSH
els more than the crop of last year. The
year 1892 witnessed one of the most
bountiful wheat harvests ever gathered
in Minnesota, estimated, if we remem-
Der rightly, at 65.OOO,OOO bushels; but
in only three of the years preceding this
did the crop touch the 100000 mark.
These were 1884, 1886 and 1891. North
Dakota, too, is estimated by the same
authority to have produced $4,000, 900
bushels OF wheat, and the whole North
west, or the spring wheat states, are
credited by him with 1SO.OOO,O0O BUSH
els; while the winter wheat crop is given
at 325, 100000. So far as wheat is con-
cerned, then. if these estimates are cor
rect, this total of 5OO,OOO,OOO bushels
for the United States is one OF the big
gest crops ever raised in the country
There is not likely to be much of this
crop needed for expectation, i'll view of
the fact that Europe has been more than
usually fortunate this year i'll her har-
vests. But the widely extended droutb
has wrought such havoc with the corn
crop in the principal corn states of the
West that this fact will tend to stiffen
the prices of wheat.
Minnesota has done pretty well, too,
in all her other staple cereal crops. There
has been wide variability in yields, but
the aggregate crops of oats, rye and
barley have been much more satisfactory
than was expected, the yields on the
whole having been fully up to the aver
age. The most serious effects of the
drouth have b.en felt in the great and
general damage which has been done to
the hay and potato crops. The dairy
and cattle interests of the state will suf-
fer from this cause. But on the. whole
the farmers of Minnesota have reason to
rejoice that they have done so well ur der
such unpromising conditions. Another
such general crop failure as we had last
year, on top of the general business de-
preston, would have been disastrous,
not only to the farmers but to the gener-
al business interests of the state. But
with such fairly good crops as have dis
appointed both the sanguine expecta-
tions raised BY the unusually favorable
conditions in the early sprihg and the
gloomy apprehensions excited by, the
long -continued drouth, we may count
with confidence on reasonable degree
of business activity extending through
all branches OF trade for the remainder
OF this year and good part of next.
