Sensible Views Expressed.

The following is portion of a CON-
munication to the Minneapolis Times
on the controversy between that paper
and the Irish Standard, from a writer
signing himself "a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
Of Rush City, Mimi:
The Irish Standard has probably gone
too far in its opposition to the so-called
Anglo-Saxon alliance, and said things
which should have been left unsaid, but
it was not without provocation, not
against England or the English people.
but against certain so-called American
newspapers and public speakers who
pride themselves on being Anglo-sax-
ons.
They tell us on all possible occasions
the great superiority of the Anglo
Saxon race. They tell lis that the two
greatest nations ON earth arc England
and the United States, both Anglo-sax-
on, of course; and If some one who can
not show up an Anglo Saxon pedigree
expresses a different opinion, he Is
called bigoted, narrow-minded and un-
patriotic.
For my part must plead guilty of
not being an Anglo Saxon. and, although
u do not intend to 60 into q paroxysm
The Irish standard., 1898-08-20
# hilarity over the fact, yet I offer no

apology.
Although 1 could hardly be called a
foreigner, as I was born in America,
yet I also admit that l do not under
stand the speech of Joseph Chamberlain
on the Anglo-Saxon alliance.
l know of only one nation that could
be called Anglo-SaXon-Great Britain
and 1t is only partly so; therefore l do
not see how there can be any Anglo
Saxon alliance.
1t is slight to very large part of
Mr.. Chamberlain's own people to speak
of the nation as Anglo-Saxon. Does Mr..
Chamberlain wish to disown the Irish,
the Welsh andaa large Scotch element?
To speak OF the United States as
Anglo-saxon Is SO absurd that it should
call for no argument. l would respect
fully call the attention Of everyone who
might be of such an opinion to the i'm
migration statistics. He may go back
as far as he can find statistics, and he
will find the same old story. Yes, but
perhaps some one will say that large
part of our people are descendants of
the original stock. To all such I would
say. look up the vital statistics Of the
state of MASSACHUSETTS,, the home of the
pilgrim fathers, and see what the birth
rate is in that state among people Of
native parentage (where the percentage
Of Anglo Saxons would be the largest).
You would find birth rate one-third
smaller than that of France the SMALL
est In Europe.
The population of France docs not
increase. We can easily imagine what
it would do II the birth rate was one
third less. II anyone should still have
any doubt about the character of our
population. let him begin to Investigate
at home and see who his neighbors
are.
Lam very sorry that any claim to SUI
The Irish standard., 1898-08-20
periority should have been made. be

periority should have been made, be-
cause it will make it necessary for us
to draw comparisons. In country like
this, with such mixed population, we
should be very careful in our COMPARE
sons not to place one nationality or race
over another, unless the superiority is
very apparent, and even then it would
be wise not to dwell too much on it. We
would have been the last to have made
any such comparison If we had not
been attacked by our Anglo-Saxon
neighbors. Not that we are afraid of
comparison, but because we do not like
to say unpleasant things about other
people.
Who have developed the agricultural
resources of this great Northwest? Has
it been the Anglo-Saxon? In this state
fully four-flfths has been done by Ger
mans, Scandinavians and Irish. The
Anglo-Saxon has taken but very little
part. The same condition exists in the
other Northwestern states.
Another conspicuous fact, which will
also be noticed even from very super
fetal observation, is that in a great
majority of cases the Anglo-saxon
farmer is not so successful as his
Scandinavian. German or Irish neigh
Dor.
In the field of skilled labor the Anglo
Saxon is no better represented. How
many carpenters or shoemakers, for in
stance, do we find who can claim to be
Anglo-Saxons?
In some other walks of life they are
more successful, but the trades, profess
sions or kinds Of business where they
show any superiority over people of
non-Anglo-Saxon origin are few in
deed.

Needless Delay.

1t is a matter of much comment that
nothing has been done in the Atlantic
which shows a vigorous prosecution
of the war. Admiral Dewey in the far
Pacific has done all that he could ac-
complish, but here under the noses Of
the government not one single stroke
has been dealt which amounts to a
row Of pins. When war was declared
If we had moved on Havana and Porto
Rico the next day and knocked their
Notifications down or captured the
vessels then in their harbors and these
achievements had come upon the
Spaniards at the same time that the
disappointing news of Dewey's victory
reached their ears, the war might now
have been ended. But instead, a vas
cillating policy has been pursued just
as was pursued about the declaration
of war. There is nothing SO inspiring
to an army as victory and nothing 10
depressing as defeat. Had we been
able to have crowded triumph after
triumph upon our banners, the hope
lessness of the conflict would have be-
come manifest to Spain and the world,
and the trouble might soon have end
ed. But a month has elapsed since
we declared war and not a blow has
been struck on this side of the world
which amounts to more than the
throwing of few shells for target
practice at San Juan. One day the
governmentwill call on the railroads for
bids for the moving of troops, the next
day all will be countermanded and
the army remain stationary. In the
month that has elapsed the forti1ca-
tions at Havana and San Juan have
been strengthened by Thousands OF
men working upon them day and
night; until last week San Juan was
open for the shipment OF coal and
munitions Of war, and the Spanish
feet was the Lord only knew where.
This does not look much like war. 1t
may be answered that we are not be-
hind the scenes and do not know what
the reasons of the delay are, but we
do know that we declared the war,
and when we did declare it, we should
have been ready for it, and not have
been like the French who declared
war and then sat down until the Ger
mans got tired waiting for them, and
being tired, invaded their territory.
The Spaniards are doubtless very
tired expecting us to show ourselves
omewhere beside Havana harbor, or
Newport News, or along the coast OF
New England. where it is hardly pre-
sumed a Spaniard would be fool
enough to waste time. Yet up there
some of our best battle ships lay now
idly waiting for what will never come

The Wheat Crop.

The May returns to the statistician
department Of agriculture show the
acreage in winter wheat to be 81 per
cent. greater than the acreage last
year, the comparison being with the
acreage sown in the fall Of 1896. While
there is more or less marked increase
In every eastern and in every southern
state the expansion to some extent is
onset by increases of per cent. in In
diana, per cent. in Ohio, IL per cent.
1n Iowa, Is per cent. in Missouri, and
l6 per cent. in Illinois. The reduction
In these last named states is due to the
fact that the seeding season of 1897 was
unfavorable.
The average condition of winter
wheat is 1876 against 80 2 OH May 1 of
last year. In nine States with one
million acres or upwards the average
Is: Kansas, 105; Pennsylvania, 9e;
Michigan and Tennessee each, 90; Mis-
souri,, SO; Indiana, 81; Illinois, So; Ohio,

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati rice-Current of last
Thursday says
The past week has not heen as genial
as conld have been. desired. Low tenn
perature and rains have been against
the corn crop, in delaying planting
where it has not been accomplished,
and in unfavorableness Of influence
where it has been planted. It is to be
regretted that conditions have not
been more propitious. While it may
be admitted that these drawbacks may
be largely overcome by later condi
tions the fact remains that the start OF
the crop is not having as encouraging
shaping as could be desired to give
assurance Of satisfactory beginning.
largely upon the nature of its start.
Nothing disparaeing to the wheat
crop, either winter or spring grain por.
tions, has occurred during the week,
and the position remains encouraging.
The official report places the average
condition Of the winter crop at S6.5,
which is unusually high.
80 far as present indications count
the winter wheat crop promises to be
considerably larger than last year,
when this portion of the production
was officially estimated at 1892, 700, 900
bushels-that of spring wheat 1877 400,
600 bushels. 1t may be noted that the
official estimate made the wheat pro.
duction of the Dakotas and Minnesota
last year about 10000, 900 bushels, and

The speculative fever has found great
development the past week-as illus
trated in the course Of July wheat at
Chicago on Tuesday, when from about
1T at the opening the price advanced
to 1875, receded to 105, and closed at ia,
It Is useless to attempt an explanation
for such cratic shifting OF prices for a
future month. There is no rational
explanation to offer. Compared with
q week ago the closing at Chicago
shows an advance of 40 cents for May,
and III cents for July.
The corn market, az might be ex.
pscted. has felt the influence of such
Initiation of prices, and has marked an
advance Of 2 cents for September, &c
for July, and &c for May, compared
with a week ago.
At interior points wheat has been
selling at greatly advanced figures, in
some instances as high as 81 40 being
reported. Surely the owner OF wheat
should not find encouragement to car
ry any Of this grain over to the new
crop season under the prices which are
now prevailing.
July wheat at Chicago closed
144c below the highest point of the
week, 115c above the lowest point, AND
115s higher than week ago.
Corn at Chicago for July clos
ed &c below the highest point of the
week, 3sc above the lowest point anC
Sc higher than week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets
were 1890 bushels for the weeh
against 3,06s.000 the preceding week
and 1854, 900 last year.
Corn receipts were $685. bushels
against "A. O26,000 the preceding week
