FINDING OUT AR0UT TT.

The Pioneer Press and the Mime
apolis Tribune have published within
a few days articles concerning the new
gas, acetylene, whose facts are drawn
substantially, from an article of about
two weeks ago in the New York Trib-
une. They are now discovering that
commercially, acetylene may not be for
the present as available as a lighting.
agent as was at first supposed This is
exactly the informant which was
about month ago, in communication
from one of the best-informed practical
chemists in the Northwest
The G o b e. s article was exhaus-
tive; showing that, while acetylene has
value as an illuminant wonderfully in
excess of that of either ordinary coal
or water gas or the electric light. vet
there are practical difficulties in the Way
of bringing It into general use, and its
cheapness has been greatly eXaggerat-
ed. If the acetylene has to be reduced
to liquid form SO that it may be trans
ported in cylinders, there is always
more or less danger of explosion; and
especially designed and expensive
valves must be provided for gradual
liberation Of the product. 1t was noted
also, in the G O b e, that the gas has
an affinity for copper; and if used in an
ordinary brass fixture, or if there are
brass stor-cccks in the pipes, these
may be eaten away and an explosion
follow. Finally, we presented elab-
crate computations showing the rela-
tive cost Of producing acetylene ane of
manufacturing oil gas and water gas,
which showed the balance to be little
if any in favor Of the former.
If the calcium carbide, from which
the acetylene gas is generated, can be
manufactured only under patent right,

NOTHING IN TT.

We call the attention once more Of
those, whether Republicans or Demo-
Gratis. who think that there is any
thing in it for either of them to take
I'D the free silver question, to the
formal conference and agreement Of
free silver leaders that has just been
concluded These people, as we have
said continually, care nothing about
Democracy or Republicanism, but are
bent on the securing of free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and on
making that platform the means of
boosting themselves into office. They
have met, organized and taken steps
to hold national convention in the
interest of the free silver party That
| convention, we have no doubt, will as
semble in due time. 1t will be managed
by Stewart and Jones and the rest of
the men whose business interests would
be promoted by free coinage, and it will
be ccld-blooded affair. These men
have made their platform, and are go
ing to stick to it at all hazards and
are not going to fall in line in support
Of either Democratic or Republican
candidates. That is not their little
game. To secure the enormous profit
first object. To use the free silver issue
as means of obtaining political power
for themselves is the second object.
This latter is very strong with the
leaders, and they would not be diverted
from their purpose although both of
the other parties placed a free silver
plank in their platform.
1t is, therefore, as we have iterated
and reiterated, perfectly useless for
any political party to accept free silver
as part of its declaration of principles
in the hope that by this means it can
draw to itself the free silver vote
There will be a straight silver party
in the field this year, nominated on an
unconditional free coinage platform. 1t
matters not what action the other
political conventions may take, the
presence Of this third party is an as
sured fact That being the case, all
who are in favor of free silver will
vote its ticket. 1t follows, therefore,
that there is not a vote to be gained by
either of the old parties through
espousing the free silver cause. Either
Of them can lose the sound money vote,
but neither of them can gain, by any
possibility, the free coinage vote. Dis
carding altogether, for the time being.
the moral aspect of the question the
immense Importance of the issue to the
country, and the duty Of parties and
citizens, and viewing it solely in
the light Of expediency, what
sane man can continue to
urge the free silver proposition upon
the Democracy when there is nothing
to be gained and everything to be lost
by it?

THE FINAL REPORT,

The final sections of the report cf
the retrenchment committee are given
to the public this morning. That re-
lating to the water board shows simply
that this department of the city affairs
appears to be well managed, that we
ENJOY exceptionally low water rates,
and that the salaries fixed by law are
below rather than above what the
committee considers a fair compensa-
ton for the service performed On the
question OF repeating the frontage tax,
the members are divided Two favor
It's retention, and the remainder advise
it's repeal. 1nasmuch as nothing can
make this particular form of tax bear
equally upon the community, the latter
seems to us the better reason. If il
is said that this will increase the
amount necessary to be raised by the
rates, it may be replied that on the
other hand, it will diminish expendi-
ture by removing the incentive to eX-
tensions Of the system in territory
where it will not be self-supporting.
The need for the frontage tax seems to
have passed. and it ought to go.
The statement showing how unfair is
the portion of the burden of the states
revenue that is assigned to st. Paul.
as compared with the ether cities of
the state, is more important and de-
monstrates conclusively that an in
justice is done. However it may be
considered, the people of St Paul are
unduly and unfairly burdened. The
is out of all proportion, and every eff
fort should be made to correct this. in
the interest Of simple justice as we'll
as for the relief of our Taxpayers.
These figures were given to the public
by the q o e some time ago, and
we urged then, as we do now. that a
revision of the assessment scale be
made, sc that this community may paw
neither more nor less in proportion
than others. With this final report the
work of the committee is completed.
1t has done its best service in laying
before the people mass of information
as to the conduct of their affairs by
which they may in the future be guild
ed. The scope Of it's inquiry did not
bring within its reach the greatest
abuses and the most objectionable
waste of public money in this COM
munity: subject On which we shall
have more to say hereafter But it
has indicated what legislation it is
absolutely necessary to obtain for
more economical government, and our
people must see to it that men are
chosen to the legislature this fall who
will work for it,

and to perpetuate the financial policy
that has at last brought disaster. Are
these disgrunt1ed Democrats and dis
appointed Republican free traders go
ing to indorse the Fifty-fourth con-
gress and it's present and proposed pol
icy? Are they so well content with
what they gained that they would have
more Of it? Have not the rank and
file Of the Democrats shown their SIN
cerity and honesty? Have they not
smitten with relentless hands the men
who betrayed them wherever they have
had the opportunity? Is not a party
thus inspired worthy of trust? Is
there hope elsewhere? AS these ques-
tions are answered, so will the next
election go; for it is these Independent,
self-reliant men who will give the vic
tory to one or the other

AT THE THEATERS.

An aggregation of players appeared at the
Metropolitan opera house last night in a few
scenes extracted from old-time move! en-
titled 'Uncle Toms Cabin" and in many 9TH
er scenes that Harriet Beecher Stowe never
dreamt of. The performance was bad. The
bloodhounds furnished some interest, which
was aroused when they manifested symptoms
of a desire to devour the whole company.
Performances of "Uncle Toms Cabin should
be discouraged today. The child who wit
nesses this panorama OF past era instead OF
receiving wholesome entertainment is taught
to believe that the Southerners are a nation OF
Simon Legrees.
''Uncle Toms Cabin" should be relegated
to the library. AS for those ladies and gentle
men who are struggling with the dramatiza-
ton at the Metropolitan little can be said
commendatory of their work. Same bill

"Fantasma" has caught on with the stran-
gers as well with our regular theatergoers.
The audience last night was the largest of the
week. The funny antics Of the clown and the
beautiful scenery made deep impression on

been paid by different cities in the
country. this tax will make the total
cost of furnishing acetylene little if
any lower than that at which ordinary
gas can now be supplied to consumers
at a profit We have no doubt that the
place of acetylene in the future of light
ing is a very important one. It is not,
however destined to work the revolu-
ton that was at first supposed. Its
progress will be rather like that of the
electric light; which has been develop

If the relative proportion of ground
plowed in 1895 and in the fall Of 1896
holds good throughout, the result must
be great diminution in the wheat
acreage this year. The reasons for
this are not far to seek In the first
place, there was great delay in the
seasons work last year, on account
of the wonderful crop. The yield was
in most cases fully twice as great as
had been expected. 1t took double the
usual time to harvest the grain from
the same number of acres Then the
problem Of threshing had a similar eff
feet, and getting the grain to market
also consumed considerably more time,
Adding all these together, the farmer
was not ready to begin his fall plowing
until weeks later than the ordinary
date. This delay was accentuated by
the difficulty of finding an open mar
ket, to which the attention of our read
ers is called by the articles now ap-
pearing in the G l o b e.
1t is under stood by all that fall plow-
ing, especially in the Red river valley
region, is almost a necessity. At least
this is true to obtain the best results
and the largest crop. The land does
best when It Is turned over in the fall
and subjected to the disintegrating in
fuences of freezing and thawing Be.
sides that, the shortness of the grow
ing season in this latitude makes the
crop uncertain If spring seeding has
been delayed until the whole prepara-
tion of the ground for the grain is
gone through with. Now the first hard
frost Of the year came, in 1895, from
three weeks to a month earlier than the
average. 1t is stated that not for
seventeen years has there been so early
a cessation of agricultural operations.
Putting these facts together the delay
caused by the great crop yield in get
ting ready for fall plowing, and the un-
precedentedly early arrival of hard
freezing weather, comparatively little
was done to get the soil in condition
for spring seeding.
This cannot fail to have an important
effect upon the wheat acreage Of the
present year and. through that, upon
the crop yield and prices. The condi-
tions which we have made public have
received no attention, as far as we have
observed thus far, from the press or in
the markets. The certainty that the
wheat yield of the Northwest will be
reduced by the large amount of blowing
that yet remains to be done ought to
have powerful influence in raising
wheat prices. We believe that when
the conditions that prevail are general
ly known, the market value Of wheat
will rule much higher than at present,
and that our farmers are assured of a
larger cash return for that portion Of
the grain product of 1896 that still re-
mains unsold.

MANY SITES IN SIGHT.
Midway District an Active Bidder
for Lutheran COIIege

1t now looks as if another educa-
tional institution of considerable inn
portance is TO be located in the Midway
district of St. Paul. The church coun-
ell of the Norwegian synod of the
Lutheran church, which has been in
session in the city all week, held a
meeting last night, and after three
hours deliberation concerning the loca-
tion OF the college, cast an informal
ballot which resulted in a vote OF
eleven to nine in favor of st. Paul
The other cities in the race are Chicago
and La Crosse, Wis. A meeting will
be held this morning, when the ques-
tion will be finally settled, but it is
thought that st. Paul will be selected.
1t will be remembered that the
Luther seminary at Robinsdale,
burned down about two years ago, and
that partly on account of the strin-
gency of the times and for the purpose
OF securing a more suitable location
the rebuilding has been postponed.
Now, however, the synod feels that it
cannot get along very much longer
with the present arrangement. A
meeting was held yesterday morning
and after disposing of some minor
business adjourned and in the after
noon the members of the council visit
ed number of prospective sites in the
Midway district
The st. Paul Lutherans have offered
a large subsidy to have the college
located here. 1t is understood that
they have have support of the Pa

wells now operated draw their water merely
from the neighboring lakes in which case
the same water could be obtained without

REDUCED WHEAT ACREAGE.

From advices that have reached the
G o b e from its special correspondents
in the Northwest, and especially in the
Red River Valley region, there is every
reason to think that next years wheat
crop will fall far below that Of 1885,
This is the promised result Of a COM
bination of the extraordinarily heavy
crop OF last year and the earlier arrival
Of freezing weather. The conditions
appear to be universal. The represen-
tatives of the Globe, who have
Travelled extensively in the Red River
Valley region, say that only from 20
to so per cent Of the usual amount of
fall plowing has been done, and that
the same is true in North Dakota. A
