delegate from his state. While Hill
has opposed them, not only on the sill
yer question, but upon many other
questions, notably the income tax, yet
they regard him as a manly figure, and
have great deal of admiration for
him. He has never counseled a bolt
from a national convention, and has
severely criticized anybody of the
party who tolerated a bolt.
1t was known during the tariff fight
that some ill-feeling grew out of a.
scene in the senate between Hill and
Joe Blackburn, still, near the close of
the last session of congress Hill made
a vigorous speech in the senate sup
porting Carlisle on the bond issues, but
took occasion to severely criticize Car
Isle and the friends of Carlisle in KeL-

Blackburn for senator after he had re-
ceived the caucus nomination. In that
speech Hill said that there are greater
issues than the currency question, and
that the Democratic party should not
divide or the question of silver and
currency. The silver men appreciated
that speech and they do not expect
that Hill will bolt when 16 to / plat

Samuel Plimsoll Is not as we'll known

whose grayheaded remnants still lin

tivities, watching with amused interest
the fierce contentious whose emptiness

his name and fame, not in the field Of
politics, where so many ephemeral rep
utations are made, but in the broader
field where humane men strive to make
better the conditions Of their fellows
by putting restraints on the greed of
men instead of stimulating 1t under
pretense of humanitarian purposes.

EASY FOR HIM.

Already they are having great fun
down in the southert part of the state
with the present and prospective per-
formances Of Gen. !. Jim Baker. The
eloquent Jim prepared himself for the.
fray, stripped himself. so to speak, in
more senses than one, when he an
nounced short time ago to an inter
ested and expectant world his return
to the bosom of the Republican party.
That involves certain duties which
would be unpleasant,to the majority of
men, but seemed to be altogether ac-
ceptable to our illustrious fellow citi-
zen. Among these duties are the COM
plete reversal of the position which
Gen. Baker has held heretofore on
both the tariff and the money ques-
ton. He has denounced the burden Of
protective legislation, as experienced
by him in mis- own person, as a Min
nesota farmer, and longed for the time
wheh the realization of free trade
would give to agriculture as free a
market to buy in as is that In which
Its products must be sold No one has
depicted more wildly than he the
imposes upon all except a few who are
its direct beneficiaries
Equally stirring have been his ap-
peals for the free coinage of sill
yer. Gen. Jim has never been very
happy in any position that required
him to be sound on finance
1t was, we are sure, with unspeakable
relief. that he found himself, within
recent years, as candidate for Office,
able to expatiate upon the virtues of a
cheap dollar. and to assure admiring
audiences that more money would be
panacea for most of the peoples Ills
Now he has already begun getting
his hand ready, SO to speak, to pick
the rag baby into smallest tatters ard
scatter them TO all the winds of Blue
Earth county.

ty, indeed, are the energies and
rhetorical flights Of our Jim to be
cribbed, cabined and, confined He will

gets through; and sound money, pro-
lection and Mckinley will be the slo-
gan that his voice sends forth upon the
breeze. AS the G o b e has already
explained, this sudden tail-turning of
Gen. Baker is due, beyond question, to
his fear lest office should be thrust
upon him unwillingly. We can scarce
ly conceive greater sacrifice in the
matter Of principle and of record which
man might be called upon to make
than he has made, deliberately, in the
cool renunciation of everything that he
had hitherto declared to be the abso-
lutte truth. We think, however, that
he has accomplished his purpose. Even
the Republican party, should it be sue
cessful, Is not likely to call Gen. Baker

THE DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS.

The second edition of the admirable
and valuable little work, weeds and
How to Eradicate Them" by Prof.
Thomas Shaw of the University exper-
iment station at st. Anthony Park, has
just been issued. The book is one to
which we especially desire to direct the
attention of such of our readers as are
Immediately interested in the topic Of
which it treats. 1t is an authoritative
manual upon the subject of weed-de
structior. and should be in the hands
of every farmer in Minnesota.
Professor Shaw's four fundamental
propositions may seem little startling
to those accustomed to class the
growth of weeds with the weather and
the ways of Providence as things be-
yond the power of man to control, but
they certainly contain encouragement
for the agriculturist. He maintains: %
Noxious forms of weed life car be COM
pletely eradicated on every farm
throughout the whole contiIent if the
farmers Of these farms resolve that so
it shall be. e. Complete eradication
can be effected without heavy outlay
if the work be done in the proper way.
(3) When weeds are once eradicated,
1t will be easily possible, with but little
outlay to still keep them so. a. The
profits Of farming will be, relatively,
much larger where farms are kept en-
ttrely free from noxious weeds
The book Is the outcome of much
practical experience in dealing with
weeds, and of much study as to the
best methods of graduating them.
Prof. Shaw discusses the evils which
arise from the presence of weeds, the
agencies concerned in their distribu-
tion, both natural and artificial the
general principles which are applicable
in their destruction, such as modifying
the rotation care in the purchase of
clean seeds, the growth of hoed and
soiling crops, stimulation Of the soil,
autumn cultivation, etc. He theI. takes
up the specific methods best adapted
to eradicate each of the Individual
weeds which are most troublesome in
the northern United States and Can
ada, and concludes with a chapter on
the best means of fighting the particu-
larly troublesome weeds of the west
ern prairies, such as the Russian this
tie ard the prickly lettuce. The book
is clear, practical and to the point, and
its value to the farmer who will make
intelligent use of it can hardly be over
stated.

THE TURNBULL CONCESSION.

There is a significance in the state

creating American interests in the

brought to bear to enlist the govern

this a truculency on the part Of the
little republic that indicated that she

The commission was appointed to in
vestigate the history of the dispute,
to get the accessible facts of the case
and make report. There was a MOTTO
able cooling of the choler Of vene-
Zuela. A disposition to resume diplo-
matte relations with England showed
itself. Recently the overzeal of an
officer in making arrests on the dis
puted ground was disavowed and the
party released with explanations and
apologies. Now the Turnbull conces-
sion is admitted to be valid although
it conflicts with a portion of the Ma
noa grant. All of which indicates that
the Venezuela-British Guiana incident
is coming to a close and that the armed
intervention of the big brother will
not be needed.

was this condition that attracted the

In his old age, vigorous still at sew
enty, Mr.. Plimsoll has undertaken
much more difficult task The purpose
of his visit to this country is to ascer-
tain the, to him incomprehensible,
cause of American animosity to Eng
land and Englishmen and to try, by
removing the causes, to bring about a
more cordial and natural relation be-
tween the two great nations Of COM
mon blood, lineage and language. He
thinks it incredibly absurd that the do
ings of a semi-idiotic king and a pig
headed aristocracy 12O years ago,
against the sentiment of Englands
best and brainiest, should be cherished
to nurse hatred today. We apprehend
that Mr.. Plimsoll mistakes the cause
of that sentiment which flames up into
expressions of hostility so quickly in
this country on such occasions as the
Corinto and Venezuelan affairs. One
cause rests in partisan exigencies. The
protectionism of the Republican party
could not exist for a year If it had no
hobgoblin to alright the populace with

But there is more subtle cause in
the very kinship of the peoples Family
quarrels are proverbially the most bit
ter. The amenities of intercourse are
commonly reserved for consumption,
away from home. Social restraints
bring the reaction in the freedom Of
the family. So are we suave with the

our family quarrel to establish Maxi

CHICAGO, July 5.-The managers of the
Bofes campaign say they are very much en-
couraged by the reports received today from
their scouts and skirmishers who have been
canvassing the incoming delegations. They
declare that Boies has developed great deal
CT unexpected strength and that he Is the
second choice of two-thirds of the silver dele
gates. They sensible of the rise in Bland
stock, but they say that Bland will never be
able to secure two-thtrds of the convention,
indicating that the Boies men will not favor
the abrogation of the two-thirds rule. The
Boies men think that the prejudice against The
selection of a Southern man will operate
against Mr.. Bland and prevent his nomination.
The Boies men say that as soon as 1t be-
comes apparent that Bland cannot be nomi-
mated Boies will then be selected.

could be satisfactorily arranged.
Senator Hill is the undoubted choice
Of the national committee. He is also
the one man from the East Of national
prominence who is willing to test his
popularity before the convention. 1t
has been claimed by the gold men that
the silver friends of Senator Hill in
both house and senate, many Of whom
are delegates to the convention, would
have sufficient strength and would use
their influence to secure his election
as temporary chairman if he should be
named. But it is now well understood
that the silver men will not vote for
anybody but a silver man for chair
man.
During the day many silver men who
are friends of Senator Hill have called
upon him and urged him not too al
low his name to be used by the ma
tional committee and not to place him
self in a position where he might be
Inundated by being defeated. They
have assured him that they have a
high regard for him, and that it will
be disagreable to them to have to
vote against him, but the situation is
such that they must have silver man
to make the first speech of the con-
vention. Senator Hill has advised all
those who have called upon him to
pursue a conservative course He has
expressed the belief that If the con-
vention adopts silver platform that
there will
SURELY BE A BOLT,
ard he thinks that If conservatism is
shown that the bolt will be much re-
duced. 1t is understood that Senator
Hill believes that In case the conven-
ton should sustain the national COM
mittee in the selection of himself for
temporary chairman that the bolt from
New York state and possibly some
other sections of the East will be
greatly minimized. The silver men feel
assured that Senator Hill will not bolt,
but under instructions Of the Demo-
cratic state convention Of New York
the delegation acts as a unit and If
majority should decide to bolt or to
take no further part in the convention
after the adoption of the silver plat
form, Senator Hill, who has Endorsed
this unit rule, would be compelled to
abide by the results. While Senator
HILL Is constantly advising conserva-
tism on the part of the silver men he
has giveL no pledges that he would
make a conservative speech il selected
to preside over the convention. w F..

mittee from New York and one of the

would make a conservative speech and
not one which would be obnoxious to
the silver men, Mr.. Sheehan replied:

chairman of the convention. will make

garded Senator Hills chances for the
place and declared he did not believe
