DIR FRED JARRETT. of the Ve7.pl,

DIR. FRED BARRETT, of the Verpaal-
lion iron Journal, published at Tower,
this state, died last night at Duluth
from Bright's disease. His condition
has been serious for several weeks
back, but he rallied after severe at
tacks, and it was thought he might
recover. He was one of the best
known men in the state, and one of
the most prominent men of his part
of the state. He served in the war
for time; lived in Mississippi, also
at New Orleans, and in Wisconsin.
His popularity is attested by the fact
that while he was Republican, living
in a Democratic district, he was
elected on two different occasions to
the legislature. He leaves a wife and
four children, the eldest a practicing
physician.

WHEAT continues to go up, and in
the local market is quoted at SO cents
today. July wheat was So cents
higher yesterday in Minneapolis than
it was a year ago, and September
wheat So cents. Enthusiastic dealers
in wheat predict that it will reach Is
cents. Whether this advance, or the
greater portion of it, will be main
tanned through the season, is, of
course, a problem. 1t is claimed that
at it's present price in this country it
does not pay to export it. The pres
ent advance is of but little benefit to
the farmers, as but few have their
wheat on hand. But if it goes up and
on a solid basis and is largely main
tanned, it will be of great benefit to
the coming crop, and it would seem
that unless the advance is based
purely upon speculative move,
good share of it would be maintained,
unless the crop of '96 should reach an
enormous size.

A WAY OUT.

The whole gist of the question as
to the people wanting more silver dol
lars in their volume of currency, and
wanting them coined free and in I'M
limited quantities was we'll summed
up by Congressman .McCleary in his
paper before the Social Science club,
on Tuesday evening. The table which
he submitted showing the kind and
quantities of money in circulation on
the first of November last, shows
that there are, in even millions, among
the people, 100000 of silver dollars,
and S60,00O,0O0 in subsidiary silver.
This is all the government has been
able to keep in circulation, though
congress has provided that the treas
ury department shall pay the cost of
transportation of silver dollars to any
part of the United States, but when
the amount goes much above that
given in the table, they commence to
find their way back into the treasury
w w SASildhSON LII popCl. ~ IL w Ill
be seen that although under the Bland
act the coinage of silver reach
ed somewhere in the neighborhood of
400,000,000 silver dollars, they are
represented in our circulation by $3.50,
100000 in silver certificates and only
S56, 100000 in coin. In addition to
this there is 100000 in treasury
notes, representing the silver purchas-
ed under the act of 1890.
1t is said that the great bulk of the
100000 silver dollars in circula-
tion is in the west, and that as fast
as they find their way east they find
their way into the treasury and are
exchanged for paper. There have
been numerous schemes proposed to
get the silver dollars in circulation
and keep them there, among which
have been to call in and cancel all
bills of less denomination than So,
and it has even been proposed to

n THE Minnesota supreme court has
declared chapter 2l7 of the general
laws of 1887 unconstitutional, for the
reason that it directs the state insur-
ance commissioner to prepare and
prescribe the form of policy that may
be used in fire risks in this state,
which, the court says, is delegatlng
legislative power to the commissioner.
Such delegation of power is forbidden
by the constitution of the state. All
business men know that their policies
for several years has been what is
called ''the Minnesota standard pol
icy," and is the one prescribed by the
commissioner. This decision does
not invalidate policies in force, but
leaves each insurance company free
to use such form of policy as it and
the insured may see fit to agree to.

Withdraw 1.-The five dollar notes, but
any such proposition has always been
met with storm of indignation on
the part of the people.
What is wanted, as Mr.. McCleary
suggested, is some safe way by which
silver can be used as basis for paper
money, and he recommended the
Window plan as one worthy OF
thoughtful consideration of the peo-
pie. This provided for the issuance
of notes on silver by the government,
at the market value of silver on the
day such silver was received, to be re-
deemed in silver. 1t is probably a
fact that the leading sfinanciers are
more favorably impressed with the
Window plan than ever before.
But prior to the introduction to
any such scheme, there should be, to
make it successful in every respect,
and insure a sound, stable financial
system, an international agree
ment reached, by which the civilized
nations of the world will agree to use
silver in their money volume at a
fixed ratio. Then as to whether the
individual nations prefer for local use
to have the silver coin, or it's paper
representative in circulation is mat
ter of their own convenience, to be
settled by themselves.
1t is only on some such basis, we
believe, that the silver question will
be finally and safely settled.

ga GARLANDISM.'

Hamlin Garland, who is quite well
known as a writer and lecturer
whose greatest fame depends on a
number of so-called realistic stories
written in very pessimistic style
which gives him a prominent place
among the calamity howlers of the
day, has dedicated one of his books to
his father and mother in the.follow-
ing words:
Tony father and mother, whose half century
pilgrimage on the main travelled road of life
has brought them only toll and deprivation,
this book of stories is dedicated by son to
whom every day brings deepening sense OF MS
parents silent herolSm.
Those who are acquainted with the
facts, says the Minneapolis Journal, in
reviewing the matter, feel that the
dedication is at variance with the
truth. and that an attempt has been
made to point a moral for the book by
the use of an overdrawn personal
statement. The Garlands, with the
exception of their son Hamlin, have
for years lived in comfort in central
South Dakota, in the valley of the
James river. Some ten years ago
they conducted two general stores OF
considerable Importance, and accumu-
lated large amounts of land, which,
in the increase of value after that
time, became of no little worth. Sell
ing out the mercantile interests. the
elder Garland turned his attention to
farming, and has since surrounded his
family with all the comforts and
many of the luXurieS of the day.
Avoiding the rigors of the Dakota
winters, the Garlands have quite often
been able to make visits to their for
mer home in Wisconsin, to go south
or to spend the season in California.
In the early eighties, before going to
Dakota, Garland was prosperous
farmer of Usage, Iowa, and was one
of the respected and solid men of his
community.
If this be the ''silent heroism" of
the parents, there are good many OF
farmers of the Dakotas, and else
where, who would be willing to take
a little of it in theirs, and this sort of
''toil and deprivation" would not be
unwelcome to the majority of dwell
lers in the cities.
Hamlin Garland'S pessimism is to be
found in all his works. 1t is untrue
and unwholesome. He has steadily
characterized and portrayed life in
the west-particularly the life of the
farm-with pencil that has given Of
Tense to his friends and acquaintance
in Wisconsin, Iowa and Dakota. He
has moderated the advantages of the
people and has melted them to whin-
ing complaint. Life in the Dakotas
probably has few charms for the Bos-
ton litterateur, but he should not
slur those who gave him birth in his
attempts to cast gloomy horizon
about his readers.
Northwestern farming conditions
are not what they should be-neither
are conditions in life elsewhere-but
the man who works with average vim
and intellect has far brighter future
on the farm than in any other trade,
and better outlook than he had in
earlier wears.
