BRIAN nor DEW.EY.

In anticipation of the arrival of
Dewey in this country on the 28t!;
inst, and the consequent halo of
hero worship that will follow, the
New York World starts up q little
presidential boomlet for the adj
miral and wires the chairman of
each democratic state central COM
mittee as to what their opinion is
as to whether or not the democrats
of their state would giveDewey the
first place over Bryan as a presl-
dental candidate in 1900. Mon
day of this week Chairman KLEIN
ogel, of the democratic state cen
trail committee at Fargo, received
telegram. The questions asked
and the answers given are as
follows:
First-Would not Dewey, il nominal
ed by the democratic convention, splen-
didly represent democratic principles?
Second-Would he not surely beat
Mckinley?
Third-H Bryan's own state should
defeat his ticket and platform this year,
would he I've as likely to win as Dewey
in 1902
Mr.. Kleinogel made the follow.
ing answers to the questions:
Firet-Dewey's political connections
are an unknown quantity here, conse
qnently cannot say If he would repre-
sent democratic principles.
Second-Do not think he would carry
full vote of party and its allies.
Third Think Bryan would carr,
larger vote than Dewey, whether en-
dorsed 10y his state Or not.
Chairman Kleinogel rightly
maintains that Dewey is not il
the field as a politician or states
man and when the admiral reaches
New York it is altogether probabl'
that the boomlet of the World
will collapse rs rapidly as it ap
peared in the first place.

PRICES for cattle at the present
time are going skywnrd as rapidly
as possible. They are row selling
at 1925 to $3.50 and a carload is
worth at the lowest figure $1,000.
That the handling of stock does
not necessitate as large an
outlay for permanent buildings
and equipment as the raising of
grain is a point for consideration.
Further, at present prioes a car Of
wheat will only net the farmer
from 1926 to $3.50, according to the
capacity of the car and quality Of
the grain. Every argument that
can be- presented points in favor of
more diversity of farming methods
and the abandonment Of the one
idea, Of raising nothing but wheat.

East has dubbed 'wild-and-wooly'

hunt around and organize club

then want a glass of ice cream

HE republican press and poll
ticians of the Twin Cities are try
ing to make the public believe that
it will require considerable So
licitation to get President McKin-
ley to come to the Northwest in
October to review the Ming
troops on their return from the
Philippines. A special wire from
Washington, which escaped the
censor, gives it out that "Mac'' is

that he will be on hand without

of such a thing? The awfulness

who started the Spanish nation on

in those early days of October as
Admiral Dewey looks out on the
Potomac and talks of the plums IN
sight and the peaches out of sight
with John r. Mclean? What
notions are going to come into his
mind, and what other notions is

Enquirer going 70 put there? Will
they talk about duck shooting on
the Maimi, trout fishing on the

pate? The year 1900 is going to

II POLITICAL STR.4 y.

STRAws it is said will show
which way the wind blows. The
recent congressional election of Il
successor to r. P. Bland, Of Mis-
souri,. the we'll known silver cham
pion is q political straw Of impor-
lance. The campaign was a sharp
one. very closely contested and
waged on national issues. The
democrats endorsed the Chicago
platform and condemned the pres
ent policy of the administration in
relation to the Philippines. The
republicans on the other hand en-
dorsed the administrations fnan-
cial and war policy, the campaign
turning largely upon the latter
issue. As an indication of the
Importance given to the question,
the Globe-Democrat, q leading re-
publican paper of St. Louis, said
the day before election:
"The democratic platform in the 9th
district, on which judgment will be rem
dered tomorrow by more than 10000
voters, declares that We are nnreserv-
eddy opposed to the m,litariem and i'm
perlallsm of President Mckinley Is
this a true charger Does the president
deserve rebuke for his Philippine
policy? Should he reverse it? Shall the
first command for American surrender
raach the president from Missouri? To-
morrow's election will tell, and the
country will study the judgment of the
ballot box with profound interest"
The election resulted in the
election Of D. W. Shackleford, the
democratic nominee, by a larger
majority than Bland received in
1898. The republicans carried
the district in 1894, by small
majority. Shackleford's majority
was somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 5000. The republicans
had hoped to win, or at least
greatly reduce the democratic
majority in the district.

CROP REPORTS.

The September report of the
agricultural department at Wash
ington, shows an average condition
of spring and winter wheat of 700,
which is about sixteen points be-
low the condition on the first of
September of last year, and the
lowest condition known in twenty
years, if not the very lowest over
known in this country. The de-
partment does not venture upon
any estimate of aggregate yield, as
it is engaged in revising its report
of acreage, but several experts
figure out q crop of less than $780,
100000 bushels in the whole Uni
ted States upon the basis of the
governments report of condition.
If our crop of 1899 shall prove to
be under 500,OOO,OO0 bushels we
shall probably witness consider
ably higher prices for wheat before
the next crop is harvested. not
withstanding a pretty fair reserve.
The estimates are that foreign
countries will want about 100000
600 bushels of our wheat, and
they are taking it at that rate.
This, including reserves, will leave
less than 400,000,00O bushels for
bread and seed, and our $4,000, GOO
people are capable of consuming
at least 500,00o,O0O bushels. With
prosperous times the consumption
might be 100000 bushels larger.
Thus the conditions are such as to
justify predictions of actual scar
city towards the end of the crop
year.

A TEST case to determine
whether vaccination of children
prior to admission into the public
school is compulsory or not will
come up before Judge Sauter at
Grafton this week. A writ of
mandamus WAS served on the
school board there last Saturday
BY WAldo Blodgett to compel said
board to allow his daughter Ruth
to attend npesool. The difficulty
grows out of the order Of the board
Of health in regard to vaccination.
The school board, acting under
the direction Of the boards Of
health, issaed an order that no
child should De permitted to enter
school this fall without a certificate
of successful vaccination. Mr..
Blodgett, not believing in vaccin-
alton in general, refused to have
bis daughter vaccinated, and ap-
piled for her admission to the
schools. This was of course re-
fused, hence the case The board
acted under a written opinion
from Attorney General Cowan,
that the board had no other course
to follow, and that they were IL
ableto pensltiesfor neglect of duty
If they failed to enforce tho order
of the board of health. The case
will be followed with interest not
only there but throughout the state
.as il IL . question that is agitating
more communities than one, but
this, W bslisvs, will be the first
attempt to test the question.

Our state law makers will have
to try their hand at framing a nox-

week Judge Fisk rendered a deci-

ON our statute books to be uncon-
stitutional. There's no two ways
about it, a stringent noxious weed
law we must have. French weed
and wild mustard have already got
too great foot hold on many of
the finest farms in the state.
