Soon after the death of James
G. Blaine, says the Atlanta
Journal, a movement was star
ted in Maine for the erection of
a monument in his honor.
Up to date the people Of that
state have subscribed the NUM-
ficent sum Of $50, which is just
half what Mr.. Blaine gave to
aid in the erection Of a monu-
ment to Benjamin III. Hill, his
great antagonist in congress
sional debate.
Maine ought to be ashamed
Of herself. The finger Of scorn
is pointing at her from every
part of the Union. Mr.. Blaine
was notify any means our ideal
statesman. He had glazing
faults of character and his Dolit-
ical record is far from being
flawless. But he was a great
man and contributed more to
to the renown of his adopted
state than any citizen it has had
in many a year. AS long as he
lived Maine boasted of him and
held him up almost as her idol.
When he died the entire popu-
iation of Maine subscribed $50
to build a monument to him.
Such an instanceof meanness is
seldom recorded. The proposed
popular subscription having
proved such an ignominious fail
ure, the Legislature is now asked
to appropriate money to build a
respectable monument to the

COTTON seems likely to become an

rarily. The recent brisk demand for
cotton in Liverpool sent the market
up with a bound and as result the ex-

bills sufficient to meet the demand and
stop or limit gold shipments. Already

WYOMING is to be again hunted over

Scottish highland preserves owned by
wealthy Britishers. Wyoming and
northern Colorado are about the only
places left in the United States where
the elk is wild in abundance. It will
be remembered that shipments of Wy
Oming game were made several years
ago, at which time great hubbub was
raised all over the country against the
method of stocking the English game
preserves at the expense of the Ameri-
cans. The game to fill the latest order
will undoubtedly come from the north

SECRETARY HoKE SMITH recommends
that the Carey law, granting 1000, 900
acres of arid lands to each state in
which such lands are situated, be so
amended that the grants be made to
the states outright and the states be
made responsible for the irrigation of
the lands. As the law now stands
it would be many years before the
states would receive the benefit of
the grant, and Secretary Smith be-
lieves the states can better carry out
the intention of congress if they get
control of the entire grant at once, in
stead of waiting until water is secured
for the lands.

WHERE GRAIN GROWS.

Manitoba's magnificent crop of 1885,
demonstrates the wonderful fertility
and productiveness of the soil of that
western Canadian province. The yield
of wheat on ], 145,276 acres was about
IS, 100000 bushels; of oats, nearly 3d.
100000 bushels on 4S2,57S acres; of bar
ley, 100000 on 153,s39 acres, and
there were besides 1,25O,0O0 BUSH
els of flax, $4,000 bushels of rye
and $4,000 bushels of peas. This is
an average of over 80 bushels of wheat
to the acre, of 60 bushels of oats, and of
80 bushels of barley; and this immense
crop was safely harvested by $4,000
farmers, many of whom settled in Man
itoba within the past ten years with
very little capital except industry and
energy, and some with little or no ex--
perience whatever in farming. In the
aggregate these $4,000 farmers have
averaged 2,SSO bushels of grain of ALL
kinds; and besides this have produced
magnificent crops of roots, potatoes.
cabbages, onions and garden vegetables.

one dollar for artificial fertilizers and
with very small outlay for wages.
Beyond this Province are fertile lands
and a ranching country stretching
miles to the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains. These are divided into the.
districts of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. The eastern part of the
former is also admirably adapted for
wheat raising and mixed farming, and
the western part of the district and
the southern half of Alberta combine
to furnish the great cattle ranches of
the Northwest, there being countless.
acres of prairie land on which to grow
the most nutritious grasses on the con-
tinent. Northern Alberta, to which,

of settlers from Nebraska, Kansas,
Washington and other states, is the

has only the advantages of railway
communication since 1891, is rapidly
filling up. There is practically no tax
alton in these districts, except for ed
ucational purposes, and each one pos
sesses every requisite-in climate, SOIL.
fuel, water, etc.-that the most favored
old settled countries enjoy. No coun-
try is more prosperous than this Cana
dian Northwest, and to none will there
be a larger immigration, as it's wonder
full productiveness becomes known.
