the city of st. Paul, as an inspiration to the
people of the city to make this great en-
campment such a success as shall make St.
Paul remembered by all who attend"
Mrs. R. NJ Newport reported for the ladies'
committee that some fifty vice presidents have
been appointed by the committee. The COM
mittee does not propose to give lunches to the
visiting ladies'. This suggestion came from
the outside ladies of the G. A. R. themselves.
1t is proposed to give the ladies reception.
and Mrs. Newport had an idea that 1t would
be appropriate for the ladies to give the old
soldiers reception also. The plan was to
have great pavilion in one of the parks for
the purpose. No refreshments would be served
at either of these receptions. The Daughters
of the Revolution also propose to give the la
dies reception. Then the committee further
anticipate giving the visiting ladies drive.
Albert Scheffer reported for the committee
on finance. He had been told that $40 900 would
beSnecessary, but he thought that If $50. 900 was
secured it would be ample. 1t was a dis
agreeable task the committee has before 1t,
but 1t was necessary to have money, and the
committee propose to have it. He was in
Carlton county recently, and the people up
there propose to build an arch and establish
headquarters here for the purpose of exhibit
ing the products OF their county. He thought
other counties may fall in line and take like
interest in the encampment.
The meeting voted to provide building for
Carlton county to arrange its exhibit in.

NEITHER BRANCH OF CONGRESS
HAS ANY DEFINITE PROGRAMME
FOR THE WEEK.
SENATE STILL TALKING CUBA.
SHERMAN WILL ATTEMPT TO GET
A VOTE ON THE RESOLU-
TION TUESDAY.
HOUSE IS PATIENTLY WAITING
Naval Appropriation Bill, Next OH
the Programme, Has Not Yet
Been Reported.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The out
look as to the proceedings in the SEN
ate for the present week is not very
clear. Nothing is certain except that
Senator Sherman and others Of the
supporters of the Cuban resolutions will
attempt to force them to a finality.
Whether they will succeed in this will
depend upon various considerations,
the most important of which is the
question as to whether the Legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill shall be pressed in advance Of the
Cuban debate by the committee on
appropriations
Senator Cullom who is a member of
both the committee on appropriations
and the committee on foreign relations.
and who will have charge of the Iegis-
latlve bill in the senate, had not de-
c1ded definitely what his course would
be when spoken to upon the question.
but indicated that the appropriation
bill could not be delayed for a great
length of time on account of any other
matter. Senator Hale, who is leading
the opposition to the conference report
on the Cuban resolutions, is the second
member OF the committee on appropria-
tons, and his influence will naturally
De cast for the displacement of the
cuban discussion by the appropriation
Dill. 1t is confidently expected that the
legislative bill will be disposed of dur
ing the week, so as to have it out of
the way of the postofffce bill, which is
10 De the next appropriation bill re-
ported. There probably will be two or
three days debate upon this bill.
senator Sherman hopes to be able to
continue the consideration of the Cuban
question until it shall be concluded.
He says he thinks it can be disposed
OF by Tuesday, and that he probably
will today ask the senate to sit at night
until the vote can be reached. Senator
Hale says, however, that he does not
fear night sessions, and that he has
no purpose of prolonging the debate
for the purpose of delay. Among those
who will desire to speak are Senators
White, Villas, Palmer, Platt and Turpie.
Senator Mills may also be heard on
the pro-Cuban side of the question.
THE HOUSE.
No definite programme has been ar
ranged for the house this week. The
naval appropriation bill, which is the
next supply bill to be taken up, has
not yet been reported to the house,
and until 1t is, that body will drift
along occupying itself with such minor
matters as may be called up by the
committees. 1t is thought, however,
that the naval bill will be reported by
Wednesday or Thursday at the far
thest. The public lands committee has
several minor hills which can he called
up, as have also the judiciary, foreign
affairs and banking and currency. The
most important of the latter is the bill
permitting national banks to take out
circulation up to the par value of their
bonds. Tomorrow, under the rule, is
District of Columbia day.

quent in the tale that it tells of facts
as separate from theories. 1t is suf-
ficient, to our mind, to demand a re-
form or closer supervision of the
business.
AS to the matter of combination,
most of the companies, while denying
an agreement to control prices, admit
that the prices paid at any given point
are the same. This question may be
dismissed without further controversy,
instructions to local buyers being usu-
ally given by travelling agents. AS to
dockage, that is pretty much in the
hands of the companies themselves.
Cleaning machinery can be set to take
out, within certain limits, much or lit
tie of the grain; and what profits are
made by the subsequent manufacture
of the matter thus removed into low
grades of flour and into feed there is
no evidence to determine. We feel sure
that this question can be settled salts
factorily only by. cleaning the farmers
wheat at the point of marketing, the
screenings being turned back to him
as his property, as they should be.
The statement that large amounts of
money are made merely by carrying
wheat over in stock from fall until
spring bears with it a fruitful sugges-
ton to the farmer The elevator COM
panies borrow millions of dollars for
this purpose, on the security of their
grain; and the interest is much less
than the margin between fall and
spring prices. This is something that
the farmer must hereafter do more
and more for himself. If an elevator
company can secure $500,000 to carry
wheat, he can borrow $50 wherewith to
put up little granary for the same
purpose, and then sell on the most
favorable market. Our farmers have
already learned this lesson to some ex-
tent, and they must practice it re-
igiously. We will find, when the mat
ter comes to be summed up, that the
as to carry the market to the farmer.
giving to him, instead of to the dealers
at terminals, the advantage Of inspec-
ton and certain grades; that all the
items out of which profits now result
to the elevator companies should be
made to turn to the farmers profit in
stead; that dockage should be abol-
lshed, by having wheat cleaned upon
the spot; and that the companies
should be restricted rigidIy to their
sole legitimate business, which is the
handling and carrying Of grain for a
reasonable and limited compensation.
Ihls system, which the state must put
into ERECT before our farmers find JUS
t1ce, we will present more fully in SUBJ
sequent articles. The answer of tbe
elevator companies, accepted even as
they offer it. does not, to our mind,
dispose Of the charges, or materially
affect the situation brought out bv the
G 10 be's inquiries throughout the
state.

was forced out on the worlds mar
ket. Here the bounty paid the ex-
porter enabled him to underbid COM
petitors to the amount of the bounty,
and thus force down prices.
1t is immaterial to US, who have had
the benefit Of this policy, what the
motive was. whether. selfish or hu-
manitarian. 1t has given us cheap
sugar, and it is a wise saw that ad-
'vises us not to 'look a gift horse in
the mouth" Vhilk we can look upon
this pending effort to still further re-
duce the cost of our sweetening with
complacency, it does not at all follow
that we should, besas foolish as those
countries are, and yield to the demand
of an nsignifieantsiportion of our peo-
pie that we should dmitate them. New
Orleans papers Inform us that the
sugar exchanges of that city is dis
turbed by the German movement, and
that it will call the attention of con-
gress to it, point out it's injury to the
planters, and, in their name and be-
hoof, demand "counteracting duty
sufficient to Offset the increased bounty
This means simply that the consum-
ers of sugar in this country should
be deprived of the decrease in the
price that will follow the action Of
Germany, if taken in order that a
few planters in Louisiana may make
an unearned profit. 1t is not likely that
this congress will give heed to the re-
quest, its time being occupied with
vastly more important matters in Cuba,
Venezuela and the presidential cam
paign. The incident, however, fur
nishes another illustration of the effect
on character of this fostering policy
of governments, whether they be the
modified imperialism of Germany or
the majority rule of a republic, de-
scribed by Bayard in his Edinburgh ad-
dress. While the wheat grower of the
North is sturdily maintaining himself
under the free trade markets in which
his produce is sold, gaining strength
and self-reliance in the contest, the
sugar planter has become so enervated
by protection that he places his ere
lance upon state aid and guardianship
in private affairs" 1t is fortunate for
the nation that this policy cannot be
made universal, that there are large
numbers who cannot be debilitated by
it, and who have the benefit of char
acter development that comes from de-
Dendence on self.
