other than they have been in
power for forty years. But that
reason is good one in itself why
a change should be made. No
republican who has faith in the
past administrations of his party
fears to have Lind and his friends
"check up" the records in the
capitol.
But if you want a brand new
issue, we might discuss the rot
ten administration of the war de-
partment. Our boys went for.

to fall victims to the stealing
rogues and effeminate incompe-
tents which political pulls and

heaven for vengeance, and an
outraged people will demand

THE TRADERS HAVE MADE
A MISTAKE.

We republish from the North
western Miller an interesting ar
ticle on the wheat situation. It
says that prices during August
have been 6 cents lower than the
general average of prices for that
month during the past 10 years,
all in the face of an abundant de-
mand:
"The only apparent reason for
prices being SO much hover this
year than year ago is the larger
crops in Europe and this country.
Owing to the shortage in the sup
plies for the crop season of 1897
and 1898, consumers began to
work on the new crop a month
earlier this season than usual,
requiring practically a thirteen
months consumption, instead of
twelve months. When that con-
dition is taken into account, there
does not seem to be very much
reason in the lower prices at
which futures are selling now,
with September very little above
6Oc, and December a fraction
over SOC, and May contracts be-
ing made at 618c. The average
price in August for No. l north
ern wheat during the past ten
years is Tic. against Csc now.
There have been but three sea-
sons during that time that cash
wheat in August averaged lower
than present prices. They were
the seasons of 1893-94 SO, when
there were large lots of wheat
carried over from previous crops.
But in the years named the fut-
ures were selling down to about
present figures. Traders have
come to the conclusion that with
a large crop in this country and
a full crop in Europe, there must
necessarily be low prices, regard
less of surrounding conditions.
But, with the low state of old
supplies, the early beginning Of
consumption on the new crop
and the very large demand for it,
which may be expected to con-
tinue during the entire crop sea-
son, there seem to be most ex-
cellent reasons to suppose that
traders have made mistake in
their calculations of the rangeof
prices for the season for SO 99.'''

The Luverne Herald, a staunch

The Luverne Herald, a staunch
republican, now admits that:
'Some possible justification
may have been found two years
ago for the acceptance of a nom
ination for governor against D.
M. Clough. The Republican
party was then under the control
of corrupt and merciless ma
chine. It's nominee for governor
was the tool of certain powerful,
private interests. His nomina-.
tion was secured by methods
which set popular will at defiance,
and he>was personally unworthy
Of support.
A paper which unblushingly
admits that it was party to sup
porting such an outfit can scarce
ly be trusted this year to lead
the people out of the maze of po.
litical corruption in the state. It
must be pleasant for Clough's
friends to swallow such tongue
lashings from their alleged
friends, particularly when they
know that Clough's political rec
ord is clean compared with that
of the present candidate.
