Fowler Melon Growers.

At recent meeting OF the Fowler
melon growers Senator Swink made
them n lengthy address covering the can
taloupe industry from tho timo they are
planted in the spring until they are mar
keted with the consumer in tho fall. He
gave it us his opinion that at the present
time the outlook was such that he felt
warranted in saying that the association
would havo no difficulty in finding n
good market for the entire crop OF first
class goods; TINT already large contracts
had been closed with probability OF
nearly every dealer increasing his order
as soon ms the season opens; but in order
to hold this trade too much care can not
be taken in protecting the trade against
an inferior class Of goods; thnt the future
of the cantaloupe business in the Arkan-
sas valley rests upon our sustaining the
enviable reputation which we have won,
to hold the markets against the competi-
ton we are compelled to meet.-Tribune.

Commodore Dewe,'s great naval
victory at Manila is unequalled for brill
liancy and successful results with no
loss OF life. 1t has caused revision OF
European sentiment in regard to the
powers OF the United States. While
making the rest Of the Spanish navy
quite 10th TO risk general engagement
on the seas it has shown European ma
tions that Uncle Sam has not been SO
busy making money as to forget the arts
OF war. Should Simpsons fleet win n
similar victory on the Atlantic we may
feel somewhat puffed up. However, we
should not let the fact OF great naval
strength cause us to enter into competi-
ton with European nations in placing
the country on a war basis. Let us pre-
serve the traditional pence policy aud
only enter on war when necessary.

The recent rain storms which did 40
much good for the valley had some little
echo OF damage. Frost on two nights
damaged cantaloupes which were just
out ofthe ground, also beans and cucum-
bers. Fears were expressed that con-
tinuatiou OF the damp, cool weather
would cause some cantaloupe seed to rot
in the ground, but these fears seem to
have been groundless as the later plant

Tesla, the great electrician, processes
to have discovered u method by which he
can destroy war ships far beyond the
range OF canon shot. In experimenting
with wireless telegraphy, he discovered
that the oscillations of the ether, upon
which that depends, could be male to
explode the magazine Of vessel MS well
as to produce signals, and the strength
of the oscillation seemed to increase with
the distance. Should such an invention
prove practicable it would make all ex-
listing battleshirs and forts useless, and
almost insure tie universal reign of
peace. But the public has lost faith in
Tesla's promised grent achievements.
While. Edison is constantly perfecting
some new and valuable invention, Tesla
is always just going to do something
startling, but never does.

Many farmers have received one

A Word About Wheat.

1T is the part Of good business
Judgment for the farmer to sell his
wheat as soon as he hauls it into the
elevator or puts it upon the cars. If
he proposes to hold his wheat let him
keep it in the granary on his farm.
''Let US follow a load OF stored
wheat. The farmer hauls it to the
elevator and dumps it into the hop
per, and receives therefore a storage
ticket. He can either get his wheat
back or the market price in cash for
it whenever he wants it.
"The elevator man knows he
doesn't want the wheat, so ships it
to Minneapolis or Duluth, where it
goes to- swell the visible supply
The more wheat there is in the visible
supply the less will be paid for it.
When the miller wants to grind this
wheat he buys it from the elevator
man. 1t is the farmers wheat, and
the elevator man has only the freig ight
invested. The farmer furnishes Is
per cent OF the capital in the deal,
and the wheat he has added to the
visible supply keeps the price down.
AS the eleva tor man has no money
invested in the wheat and will not be
benefited if the price rises, he does
not use much effort to make it 90
higher. Storage charges are the
same on wheat, whether it is worth
60 cents or $1.6O a bushel.
"When the farmer stores wheat
and holds the storage tickets for a
rise in price, he CANDLES in futures,
and he is the only gambler in futures
who has more than 10 cents a bushel
invested in the deal. He has, more
! over, supplied the necessities OF the
consumer, and the consumer, know
ing the farmer doesn't want the
wheat back, naturally keeps the price
down. The law Of supply and de-
mand doesn't operate in such case.
keep the wheat in the granary or
your farm. When you haul it into
market, sell it. Don't pay storage.
Let the other fellow do that. lfyor
must gamble in futures invest 5 OF
10 cents a bushel in margins; but

Criticisms on the War.

The attempt to shoulder the blame
onto Secretary of War .Alger, Gen.
Shafter, or any other one person, for
the loss of life and sufferings of our
soldiers in the military camps at home
and at the front from fevers and other
calamities, is to say the least unwar-
ranted and unjust. That many mis-
takes were made and that much suf-
fering could have been avoided, is no
doubt true, but when it is considered
that an army was raised and equip
ped, sent to foreign shore with a
deadly tropical cline to wage cam
paign against the we'll drilled soldiery
of Spain, and achieved a glorious
victory-all in two or three months
time, then we can but marvel at our
success. When war broke out we
were lily prepared for it, and it was
Pres. McKinley's hope that it could
have been delayed at least until the
rainy season was passed. TO take
men from civil life and in a jify
transform them into soldiers, involv-
ing complete change Of habits and
diet, can not be done without some
sacrifice. In the rush to make up the
army many inexperienced and even
unfit men were doubtless appointed
to positions of responsibility, espe-
cially in the quartermasters' depart
ment, and failure and delay in obtain
ing proper supplies can be traced to
this source. These appointments
were mostly made by the governors
of the different states, and it certain
ly is unfair to hold the war depart
ment responsible for the work of men
! whom it has had no voice in selecting.
Much OF the sickness at Santiago and
in Porto Rico was due to the climate,
and, as Gen. Shafter says, those who
ordered a summer campaign are the
ones to blame. Had Cervera not en-
tered Santiago harbor, that campaign
would not then have been undertake
en-. After the war is over and the
victory won, the country dislikes tos
! the generals go to war among them
selves. We hope this country may
never go to war again, but if we do,
we hope it will be better prepared.

Nelson was again brought before
congress and passed, and is now a
law OF the land. Reared among the
common people and being one ol
them his sympathies are ever with
the masses. AS the son OF a poor
enigrant he came to this country
when mere lad, and by the sheer
force OF his character and ability he
has fought his way to lis present
position OF influence.
That these two men, senators Davis
and Nelson, should be returned to the
senate when their present terms ex-
pire, we believe to be the prevailing
sentiment among republicans. every
where, and even of many populists
and democrats. To make their re-
election sure, it is important that can
didates known to be friendly to them,
be elected to the next legislature.
Messrs. Grindeland, McCollom and
Sjoberg, the republican nominees
from this Legislative district, are
friendly to both senators Davis and
Nelson and hence should receive the
votes Of all who favor the return of
these men to the Z. S. senate.

DAVIS AND NELSON.

MINNESOTA is very fortunate in hav-
ing in the United States senate two
SO able and distinguished men as
Cushman K. Davis and Knute Mel
son. In the councils of the nation
Minnesota takes a very prominent
place. The fame of senator Davis ex-
tends not only throughout the nation
but also to other lands. By his
knowledge of international law, and
as chairman of the foreign relations
committee, he has rendered his coun-
try valuable service during the recent
critical times. In recognition of his
craftsmanship and ability the Presi-
dent has selected him as a member of
the Peace Commission soon to sit in
Paris, where he will be matched
against the keenest and most skillful
diplomatists of Europe.
Knute Nelson, also, has acquired a
reputation taat extends far beyond
the confines OF his state, and is ma
tional in character. He is man OF
force, energy and good Judgment.
Whenever he rises to speak on any
question of national Importance lie
is listened to with the greatest at.
tention In debate he holds his own
against any Of them His name is
associated with many laws ofna ton.

/ troduced his famous Bankruptcy bill
/ which after a hard fight was defeated
