THE BALANCE OF POWER.

1t is now admitted by all careful OBJ
servers Of the political situation that
Mr.. McKinley's nomination or failure
depends entirely upon the number of
delegates that he can secure from the
Southern states. While he has scored
an unexpected success in the states Of
the North, there are enough Of them
either committed to other candidates,
or about to be instructed for others,
to prevent him from obtaining a ma
jority of delegates from that section
alone. OF those whom he has not
pledged at the meeting of the state
conventions, he can secure few, if any,
on any ballot. It is uniform fact Of
party experience that, When the situ-
alton resolves itself into a contest be-
tween the field and one particular can
didate, votes may go from the field
almost anywhere else, but seldom go to
the leader Of the opposition. The at
tempt to nominate Grant for a third
term, and the two conventions in which
Mr.. Blaine failed to be nominated, are
may take it as pretty well settled that
none of the Reed or Allison delegates
will vote for Mckinley at eny time.
He must, therefore, obtain from the
Southern states the margin of delegates
necessary to give him a majority when
added to the states of the North that
have already declared for him. In the
convention of 1896, as in that of 1892,
it will be the Southern delegates who
hold the balance Of power.
This fact makes very instructive such
scenes as were witnessed the other
day in the state convention of Texas.
That degene rated into roUgh-and-
tumble encounter between the negro
supporters of Allison and Reed, on the
one hand, and those of Mckinley on the
other. They swarmed over the plat
form, pummeled each other with their
fists, drew their revolvers, and were
by the efforts Of the police. It is not
difficult to estimate the quality Of these
men, or the influence that will be most
potent in determining to what candi-
date they shall give their votes. The
Republican party in the South is moth
ing but a name. 1t has no following
among the people of repute, and lives
on year after year only for the salts
faction Of it's appetite in a hoped-for
distribution Of federal offices, and for
the commercial advantages that a ma
tional convention affords It is fifty rep
resented by such men as controlled the
Texas convention. Yet these are the
men who hold the balance of power in
the party at large. 1t is they who will
decide whether Mr.. Mckinley or some
other man is to be chosen at St Louis.

The largest class Of young men edu-
Gated to be practical farmers at the
Minnesota school Of agriculture that
has been turned out to leaven the un-
scientific lump Of the agricultural class
since the school was organized, nine
years ago, was graduated yesterday.
The occasion was attended with a
great deal Of simple, but impressive
ceremony and the twenty-eight young
men, proud to be called farmers, re-
ceived their diplomas with all the eclat
and pride which attends the more am
bilious commencements Of the regular
departments of MinneSota's great uni
Yersity.
In attendance at the commencement
were President Northrop, S. M. Owen,
John s. Pillsbury, William Liggett,
Greenleaf Clark, w. w. Pendergast, of
the board of regents; Profs. Green,
Lugger, Snyder, Reynolds, Shaw,
Hays, Hacker and others of the fac

several hundred ladies, including
friends of the students and interested
people from the Twin Cities.
Principal Brewster presided. Music
was furnished by the Danz orchestra.

RAIN AND LIGHTNING.
st. Paul Visited by a Storm of Se-
verify.

Last night brought the first rain of 1896, and
liberal drenching 1t was, too. 1t came by
fits and starts, like the ague, and was almost
as cheering to its recipients as that delectable
malady of the wefkwatered regions. The thing
started early in the day with drizzle, half
hearted Scotch mist that sprayed the sidewalks
and payements, and then was dried away by
the freshening breeZes5 AS soon as the wind
died down, the rain would come again, and so
it went until evening. when the rain took a
fresh encouragement from the shades Of night
and began a realsbusiness visitation. 1t was
too strong for thh wind to dry away, so the
two quit fighting and joined each other in max
ing life miserablei for pedestrians. Gusts Of
wind would take the clustered molecules and
spray them down your neck, or through your
umbrella, in utter defiance to all known an
giles of incidence and reflection.
And there was an electrical accompaniment,
withal. which made itself felt at several places
The Windsor was one Of these, and o. o. Cul-
len thought his mayoralty boom had prema-
turely exploded for a moment, when, as he
stood talking to friend from the Eighth
ward, bright ball of white fire seemed to
drop from the ceiling at his very side. A
moment later the building shook with the re-
verberation of a severe thunder clap.
It was about the same time that there was
CONSERVATION at Foley's. This place was in
direct communication with the storm king by
two lines, electric light and telephone, and
after ]. Pluvius had sent his message, the
half-conscious enthusiasts who had been bowl
ing in the lower part of the building groped
their way out of the cellar like a lot of rats
The same thunderbolt took liberties eyith the
telephone, and the billiard players rushed
from the tables in the belief that a shooting af-
fray had occurred at the front end cf the room
Neither telephone nor electric light was in use
thereafter.

most powerful nations OF the world as
a guarantee Of future peace. This
gives the lie to history. Since we be-
came a nation we have had no at
tack from Europe, and no probability
of any, except the war of 1912. Our ap-
parent defenselessness did not as much
as suggest to any ambitious power
the idea of invasion, and it never will.
On the other hand, we are now in a
fair way to place upon our own peo-
pie the burdens of the great war pow
ers Of Europe, without a preteXt that
will bear examination; burdens from
which it has been our boast and our
glory that this republic was free
This is one noXious product of the
alleged devotion to national ideas and
interests set up by members of congress
who want to find an excuse for their
failure to legislate on any of the real
needs of the country, and to help them
selves, notwithstanding their derelic-
tions, to a reelection this fall. The
actual fact of the case is that the peo-
pie of the United States will be called
upon to pay in taxes a total Of any
where from $25.OOO,OOO to $4,000, 900,
without the slightest reason or excuse,
as the cost of filing this ante-election
session with sound and fury. Perhaps
even that is not as serious as the deg
radiation Of the ideals of patriotism and
devotion TO the renuhlic handed down
to us by the fathers, to the level of the
utterly unprincipled jingo politicians of
the day.

A PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

The visits of delegations of farmers
from the Northwest to the agricult-
ural school and experiment station at
st. Anthony Park ought to be product
i've of excellent results. Several eXcur-
sions of this sort have already been
made, assisted by liberal and far
sighted policy on the part Of the rail-
roads. The agricultural school is a
great practical object lesson in those
departments Of farm life where the
actual tiller of the soil has had least
experience and is most at a disadvan-
tage. In the ordinary details Of the
raising and harvesting Of crops a
farmer needs little instruction, and has
no time or use for theory; but there
have been experiments Of the highest
value conducted at this institution, with
whose results the farming community
is not familiar. 1t is not possible to
carry to all the instruction there
to be found. The farmers insti-
tutes reach great many, but
not all have either the disposition or
the will to attend. Even when they do,
the difference between that and a tour
Of observation Of the state agricult-
urai farm is the difference between
reading a paper on electricity and
gaining the same information from a
lecture in a laboratory, Illustrated at
every point with practical and educat-
i've experiments.
No farmer in the Northwest can
spend a day at our great agricultural
station without getting new ideas, be-
coming familiar with new processes,
and being imbued with a desire for
improvement that will change, if not
revolutionize his own industry for all
time to come. What university ex-
tension is to the great mass of people
shut out from college facilities, these
excursions to the agricultural institu-
ton are to the farmer familiar only
cupation in as far as he. may have
gained it from personal experience on
the farm or observation of his neigh
bors. We believe that the successful
prosecution Of farm industry, and the
increase Of its profits, will obtain a
greater impulse from this movement
than it would be possible to give in any
other way. May these visits of farmers
to the experiment station increase and
multiply.

ECHO OF A BAD WRECK.
Facts About Florence Joy-Reynard,s
Damage Suit.


Damage Suit.
Attorney Mitchell, of the Northern
Pacific, yesterday received a brief dis
patch from Attorney K. K. Knapp, who
represented the company in the case Of
Florence Joy-Reynard in Chicago, a
brief reference to which was contained
in yesterdays dispatches. The court
awarded the plaintiff Judgment against
the company for $7,098, which was in
reality a verdict for $8, co., less $746
Which plaintiff had received by way of
settlement
Mr.. Mitchell said to the G. 10 b that
he was unable to say whether or not
the case would be appealed, until he
had received copy Of the record. Peo-
pie in st. Paul will remember the acct
dent which befell the special train
which in the winter Of 1892 was jour-
neying from Superior to Brainerd with
the Andrews Opera company on board.
The train was wrecked by a broken
rail, the mercury being something like
46 degrees below zero, and the private
car Oriole was entirely destroyed by
fire. The accident happened at a. m.
and Mrs. Andrews and Miss Andrews
were burned to a crisp. The fire oc-

Florence Joy, who was then Mrs. w.

by the burns, and when she was there

there was any doubt of her having sign

SICK OF 1T,

The country is inexpressibly weary
Of the jingo talk that has filed the
days Of congress since this session be-
gan. 1t is the very caricature of patri-
otism, and threatens to make the plain
people ashamed to own to that virtue
lest they be identified with the clam
orous creatures whose sole occupation
at Washington seems to be to shout
for the old flag and an appropriation.
What nation. may do to assert and
maintain its dignity, President Cleve-
land showed us in his conduct with the
Venezuelan affair. All the talk that
was carried on over that hindered,
rather than helped, the event. Great
Britain was convinced by the bold and
complete statement Of the executive
and his secretary of state that the
United States would not change it's at
titude or yield it's position. From
that moment began the attempt on the
part of each nation to find a middle
ground for compromise Fortunately,
the subject was SO well handled before
COIlSIeSS Ilco d SIly at II IlaC QeDate in
the house and the senate was cut short.
The Cuban affair, on the other hand
has dragged along, and perhaps one of
the most unfortunate consequences of
it's unsettled condition to us has been
the continuance Of the debates in con-
gress. The senate resolutions have been
accepted by the house conferees. This
throws the matter back into the house.
where there is a possibility that the
irruption Of talk may be stayed by the
application of closure
Nothing, however, can keep the sham
patriots quiet. They have been urging
for still further increase in the enor
nous and indefensible naval appropria
ton bill, the largest known to our re-
cent history, at a. time when the treas
ury is impoverished, and the pros
pect Of war is as far distant as it ever
has been. They declared, as the Min
nesota Republicans did, that we must
have a navy equal to that of the

ly before the party. He was brought
out with rousing whoop yesterday;
and, curiously enough, the central feat
ure of the campaign in his favor ap-
pears to be the sound money issue. In
this his managers have unquestionably
taken their cue from the Ohio con-
vention and its Mckinley platform.
Seeing the deep disgust and listening
to the curses that Eastern Republicans
have been visiting upon that strad-
die, they have believed it possible to
score point by contrast. So Mr..
Reeds boom comes to us done up in a
packet of gold leaf and warranted
strictly gold standard and nine-tenths
fine.
This is a curious presentation for a
man who has been regarded rightly in
the past as something a little worse
than trimmer on the financial ques-
ton. The last definite news that we
had about Mr.. Reeds financial opin-
ions were contained in an English
publication, during his visit abroad;
anu III IiltS, IL We ISllSIIlDGI y,
Mr.. Reed favored levying high dis
eliminating duties on imports from
those countries that would not join with
us in ''remonetizing" silver. AT the
last session of congress it was prin-
cipally due to his opposition that the
proposition to issue gold bonds was de-
feated. He has, therefore, all the ear
marks Of man whom it is not safe to
trust on the money question. But
Thomas Bracket Reed has been hold
ing his ear to the ground for a long
time. He has caught the murmur of
popular discomfort with insincerity and
straddling on the silver question, he
has seen Mckinley lose by it, and he
is ready to trim his sails accordingly.
He will cut his views to suit the ne
cessities Of the coming campaign. Be
hold the Reed men, therefore, putting
the financial issue at the front, to
match the tariff issue of the McKin-
leyites. 1t is a very pretty fight yet,
though McKinley's lead is long one.
