A writer in Mark Lane Express, Lon
don. thus accounts for Britain's bread
stuffs: THE chief origins of our bread
stufs during 1896 were as follows
Homegrown wheat, 1000, 600 quarters:
sufficient for two and three-qnarters
months bread. Imported from our pos
sessions. British North America. India
and Australia, only 1,339,000 quarters;
and from British North America -four
equal to $4,000 quarters Of wheat.
Therefore U possessions sent US only
sufficient for three weeks bread. I'm
ported from foreign countries Is, OO0.-
900 quarters Of wheat; and -four equal
to CAS-, 900 quarters of wheat; that il.
foreign countries sent US sufficient to
feed us for eight and a half months, and
II was made up as follows: The Uni
ted States five months, Russia, one and
one-half months, and other countries
W months. 1t appears very strange
for this country to be dependent for
more than two-thirds of the year upon
foreign countries for bread, whilst
5000, 900 acres of land in the British
Isles have been driven out Of cereal
cultivation, and some 100000 persons
thus driven off the land"

From the Silver Knight Watchman
The fetch worshipeFs Of the
ity gold have organized what they term
a National Business League" Their
program was published In the Chicago
Tribune Of Saturday, the Goth OF Jan
uary. This league proposes to continue
HaDna's campaign, which eliminated

operations not only among the people
but in the two houses OF Congress. II
will also be observed that the league
declares itself to be the logical out
come OF the late campaign, when party
lines were obiiterated 10 largely In

Honest Money League during the last
campaign"

OF the price from $50 to 81 per thou

contract with the state, and the.
courts would uphold the arrang.
ment as such, and the State anG:
the people would have sold their
birthright for less than even g,
mess of portage, and repentance
would be too late.
The people of the State have OF
late years been lamenting the
folly of the acts of the early leg
islatures in allowing railroad
companies to hold vast tracts Of
land without taxation, There was
some excuse for that at the time
when railroads were badly need
ed. But to allow measure to
pass at this day under any color
or pretext to permit persons or
corporations to hold valuable
mining rights without taxation
is simply monstrous. The very
attempt to introduce such a
measure argues criminal care
lessness, or something worse,
down at the capital.
But the attempt to pass this
law is a good illustration of how
most of our vicious class legisla-
ton have come on the statute
book. A bill is brought in by
some board for some benefcent
object to protect the dear people.
The ostensible object is of course
alright. But the real object is
hidden away and only comes to
the surface when it is too late to
avert the vested benefit to the
class legatee. G. j. -

THE CASE OF BlSHMAN.

Willmar, Mimi, March ia. 3.
Bishman, who was arrested at Mime
apolis for writing an improper letter
in answer to an advertisement, is we'll
known here. He is, or was, electri-
clan in charge of the city plant and
came here from Minneapolis about a
year ago to take charge of wiring the
city. Since then he was appointed en-
gineer OF the plant, causing the dis
missal of several old employees and
making many enemies thereby, some
of whom are not grieving especially
over his arrest minneapolis Jour-
nal.
Mr.. Bishnan may have been
guilty Of some indiscretion III his
choice of language. but that he is
guilty of any crime or capable of
insulting a lady no one here will
for a moment believe. The y. S:
marshals and commissioners can
be setin motion by very fiimsy
evidence of wrong doing. They
hold their offices for all they can
make out of it, and they can see
heinous crimes where ordinary
people see nothing of the kind.
The papers said that the woman
thought nothing of it until some
one urged her to make criminal
case out of it. Evidently there
is something behind this attempt
to trap Mr.. Bishman that the
public does not know. The high
ly colored reports in the Minnea-
polls papers show that someone
is stufing the reporters for some
purpose.
Mr.. Bishman has proven him
himself a diligent, efficient and
honest servant of the village of
Willmar. He ought not to have
any enemies in Willmar. It is
true that the village council hired
him for chief engineer, because
in their judgment we suppose,
he was the fittest man for the
place, But the act Of the coun-
Gil. even if it were wrong. should
not be charged to Mr.. Bisbman.
Mr.. Bishman is too honest and
not up to all the ways of the
world. Nothing else is the mat.
ter with Bishman.
