ing Hard to Settle Unoc-
cupied Lands.
GOVERNOR NOW IN THE EAST
Twenty-Five Million Acres in
the State as Yet Unim-
a proved.

NEW York, June 19.-Governor
William Ell. Upham of Wisconsin, and
G. w. Bishop, secretary of the Wis
consiH immigration commission, are in
the city. They come to New York on
business connected with the promotion
of European emigration to their state.
There are in Wisconsin something like
25, 000, 900 acres of land as yet unoccu-
pied and unimproved. The real work
of the immigration commission is to
acquaint the world that those millions
of acres can be secured at nominal
cost and will make fertile farms for
thousands of families.
wisconsin is great state now IN
wealth and production" said Mr.
Bishop, "but its resources have only
been half improved. The encourage
ment of settlement of the more thlnly
Populated sections is an idea OF our
governor, which the legislature has
acted upon in a manner bound to bring
about beneficial results. The governor
is ex-oficio head of the immigration
commission, and is here to personally
acquaint himself with matters pertain
ing to immigrants, and to do all he can
to interest people of the East in the
Extraordinary Opportunity
offered by Wisconsin to homeseekers.
The settlement of the Northern section
of our state will not be by foreigners
exclusively by any means, but we nat
urally look to that portion of Europe
that has already contributed SO hand
somely to our population"
Governor Upham ALSO spoke of the
purposes of the state commission. He
said: ''The object of the immigration
bureau of Wisconsin may be said to be
solely for the purpose of occupying
with settlers the thinly settled portions
Of Wisconsin. To place actual settlers
in the northern portion Of the state and
in that way adding a revenue to the
taxable property OF the state, but in no
manner looking to any increase to the
number of laborers now in the state.
Also to go to the overcrowded centers
OF population and induce people to go
to state where land is cheap and fer
tile, and thereby gain a home and
financial condition not subject to the
hard times and distress that falls upon
the unemployed during the times Of
denression -

SPAINIARDS INSULTED.

Key West, Fla, Oct. 20.-The
recent celebration in the United
States of the anniversary of the
first revolution in Cuba has caused
great indignation among the Spain
iards. They hold that the celebra-
ton was a gross insult to spain,
and that the United States should
be forced to apologize. The Span
ish organ of Havana, La Union
Constitutional, is especially bitter
in it's comments, and these COM
ments are significant lnasmuch as
they are inspired by the Spanish
government.

A well-known professor at one Of our
universities was often annoyed by two
Italians playing a street organ before
his house. Giving his servant some
money, he told her that whenever she
heard an organ, she was to 60 out and
pay the owners to take 1t away. This
was a failure. The men, instead of
coming once a week, came twice.
One day the sound Of the organ dis

that he rushed out and ordered the men
away, telling them that II they came
again he would hand them over to the

their impertinence, he raced down the
street In search of policeman.
Just as he turned the corner of the
street he met q sergeant marching
nine constables to their beats. With
out speaking, he turned and walked
alongside the procession. When they
turned the corner, the Italians saw the
professor with the policemen. II was
enough. They were both seized with

THE NATURAL TREND.

In commenting upon the change
which has been going on in the Orient
and which must still continue to go
on, the St. Paul Globe says: cit is
manifest destiny that the peoples of
the East shall be brought under a
wiser, juster and humaner rule.
Either they must be inspired them
selves, as Japan has been, by the spirit
of modern times, or they must yield
to it in accepting an external control.
The time seems ripe for applying this
rule to China. Her people are incapa-
BILE of the change necessary to con-
form them to modern ideas. They
cannot, in the nature Of things, be
left any longer in their isolation.
The same necessity that confronted
the settlers of the American CONT
nent exists in Asia today. The Chi
nese empire is the last great barrier
against which the forces Of modern
life have beaten in vain. 1t must
come down. We believe it to be for
the best interests of China herself,
for those of the rest of the world, and
for those of humanity, that the power
which she has exercised so weakly and
cruelty should be taken away and con-
fded to stronger and ADLER hands"

THE WHEAT MARKET.

In reviewing the wheat market for
the week, the Minneapolis Tribune
says: 'The wheat market continues
dull, narrow and featureless, with
the tendency downward. The trade
has been unsettled, and, as rule, de-
pressed. There is nothing, however,
which may be called discouraging in
this, for the fact that it is entirely
due to the prospect of big. crop in
our own Northwest. 1t is true, also,
that while the market has ruled er-
ratio and generally weak in tone there
has been no great pressure to sell.
The seeming weakness is due rather
to an indisposition to buy, and can
properly be called a waiting market
waiting for the spring wheat crop to
mature to absolute safety and to
watch the outcome at the tail end of
the threSher and the movement there
from. Light receipts, cash and eX-
port demand and bullish foreign sta
tistics have prevented more than a
moderate break in prices. The trade
appears to have discounted the most
favorable conditions, and the markets
of the country are now in an excellent
position to respond sharply should
there be any wheat harvests in the
northwest. or any further drought
stories from the corn states South
west"
In speaking of the healthy condi-
tion of the foreign market the Tribonl
further says: These healthy for
eign symptoms, however, have been
offset entirely by our northwest crop
reports. Everybody seems to have
exaggerated ideas about this north
west crop, and in the scramble for
conservative ideas have forgotten all
about the shortage in the winter
wheat crop from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and, moreover, that we start
in on this new crop year with the
smallest reserves-outside Of public
warehouse supplies-that we have
had for 10 or Is years. We are today
on parity with foreign markets, and
more or less wheat is being taken
daily on our markets for shipment
On Saturday no less than one million
bushels were taken for export at the
several wheat centers-taken quietly
too. All statistical news for the
week indicates strongly that the
wheat situation is distinctly bullish
but the trade has failed to recognize
the fact. The short interest in wheat
is now very large, and short sellers
are uneasy"

A GREAT STATE FAIR.

The annual fair under the auspices
of the Minnesota State Agricultural
Society will be held this year On the
grounds at Hamline, midway between
st. Paul and Minneapolis, Sept 9th to
18th inclusive. The big crop which
has been harvested in Minnesota this
year is likely to contribute most to
making the fair the biggest and best
in the history of the society. More
interest has already been shown in
the forthcoming exposition than in
any previous year, and more inquiries
are being made about the affair. The
society offers $4,000 in premiums and
prizes, of which $4,000 is to be given
to the raisers of cattle, and a like
amount to the breeders of horses.
There are liberal premiums also for
the breeders of sheep and swine, and
for the poultry fanciers. The big crop
which Minnesota has secured is known
all over the country and the prospects
are that the stock raisers from all
over the country will send their herds
and studs to the fair, and make the
exhibit notable one. Premium list
will be sent on application to E. w.
