Advices from Manila announce that
our peace commissioners recently gave
a reception and dance notable for its
brilliancy and gorgeousness. We read.

there was a display of gorgeous ma

captious or hypercritical, and we sim
cerely desire to do everything possible
to promote love and unity in our new
possessions, but we cannot contem-
plate a possibility of native toilets"
without feeling of restiveness. Some
of the big newspapers have favored us
with a number of views of the new
sisters in their native costumes. and
we have no hesitation in saying that
they We're far more adaptable to the
requirements of the bathtub than to
the public usages of polite society. We
know that the weather there is warm
and that allowance must be made for
oriental social customs, and yet we
must contend that the thought Of a
Filipino executing the twO-step in one
of these native costumes in a crowded
and brilliantly lighted room is not a
pretty one. Indeed. we fear that the
couchee-couchee will not be sanctioned
by the moral element of this country.
Let us entertoin our new sisters and
brothers in a reputable, digniiied and
Christian manner. If possible let us
have an ice cream festival or a church
fair or a mite sociable, but no more
dances in native costume.

A Ton of Tobacco.

A .Mansell of the Ell Globo cigar
factory in striving at all times to i'm.
prove and beautify the class of goods
put on the market is appreciated by
the smokers in this vicinity, which is
evident by his growing trade. This
week he received ton of the
finest tobaccos that has ever been
brought to this city, and smokers can
LOOK for something fine in Ell Globo,
La Crema and the other brands put
out by this factory. None but union
men are employed, insuring good,
clean workmanship. He asks the CO.
operation of all smokers in town to
assist in building up first-class cigar
factory here by using nothing but
home made cigars and stunning those
made in other places.

SOUR ON SUGAR.

Senator BATE has taken the protec.
i've policy of anti-beet sugar industry
altogether too seriously. 1t was not
its purpose to defeat this important
infant industry, but merely campaign
clap trap to defeat Senator Keller. A
resolution was introduced by him in
the senate to investigate the culture of
beets-the cost per acre, the yield. the
percentage of sugar: as also the
amount OF sugar produced in Mime
sota-and with this bill to repeal
the law granting bounty for the fin
ished product. This is designedly a
blow at the sugar industry in Mime
sofa just at its birth-a disposition to
throttle it in its cradle. Furthermore,
it is not disinterested act on his
part. Senator Keller made it posi-
BILE to add to the states resources i'm
measurably, not merely by having
passed, in the face of absolute indif-
ference, the bounty bill, but by reason
of the bill-for without it he could
have accomplished nothing-he sue
ceeded in having one of the best sugar
factories in the world located in the
state, and even now a number of others
are in contemplation. Raising sugar
beets is profitable to the farmer, and
by reason of the bounty he will receive
a better price for his beets during the |
time he is passing through the expert
mental period of production. The
bounty was never introduced to be
permanent-only tentative until such
time as it had developed sufficient
strength to make it an assured success.
Senator Batz, in his inane desire to
discredit his ADLER predecessor, is
willing to strike down the interests of
the state at large, the farming commu-
nifty, and particularly his own county
- for there is abundant reason to hope
for the building of factory at st.
Cloud. OF course, no factory will be ,
built there if the bounty law be re-
elsewhere in the state at /,
least for years to come. However, it
Is not Senator Bate S fault that he is
10 position TO introduce such a bill. it
g the district IS misfortune.

EVERYBODY INTERESTED

Rapidly Taken by the
Wheat Growers.
EVERYBODY INTERESTED

Last week the HERALD announced
the fact that there was movement or
foot to organize an indee-=St dent eleva
tor company by the farmers and bust
ness men for the purpose of giving
/ Sank Centre a better wheat market
than it has been enjoying during the
/ past season. A number of subscrip.
! lions We're made by business men
ABOUT one in five of the subscribers
being men not directly engaged in
wheat growing.
On Saturday afternoon about fifty
farmers attended a meeting called to
consider the matter of this organiza-
tion, and the matter was fully dis
cussed. Several business men who
had subscribed for four shares at S25
each, offered to dispose of their
shares, one to- any farmer who
wanted an interest, and give the pro-
ceeds to the association for a
working capital, the purpose being to
have as many farmers interested di-
rectly in the corporation as possible.
The capital stock is SO, 500, which
means 40 shares, and it would be
better if but one share is held by any
one person. A shareholder will have
but one vote, no matter how many
shares he owns, and furthermore the
stock may not be sold without the con-
sent of a majority of the stockholders.
Under this proposed arrangement n
one, nor half dozen, can ever acquire
a controlling interest, and the man
agement will be under the direction of
the wheat producers. 1t will be prac-
ideally cooperation elevator, except
ing that any one, whether a share
holder or not, may sell wheat at the
elevator at the established price.
The price will be made as high as
possible without entailing direct loss
lpon the busihess-tne idea being to
rive the farmer every cent there is in
lis wheat above the bare cost of hand
ing it. The How-Hilsdale elevator ,
viii be purchased, it being offered for
everal hundred dollars less than it
ost, and for less money than would :
equire to purchase the land and erect ,
suitable building. 1t is better to :
ave the elevator on property owned ;
y the company than upon railroad
md, for then it will not be subject to !.
ertain legal obligations and restric-
ons which are liable to be burden
)me.
The stock is practically all taken,
nd at a second meeting to be held at :,
e City Hall on Saturday afternoon !,
Ext everything will be ready for :
mediate organization.

The year 1898 broke all record
in the matter of rapid revival o

1873 be wiped off the statute books.
In the face of this claim, and in
refutation of it, the following Of
fetal facts and figures are submit

During the calendar year 1898 the
United States exported 1921, 260, $50
more of merchandise of all sorts than
it imported, or gain in excess of ex-
ports over 1897 of 1864, 146, ia. These

largest exports for any of these years
being Sl,099, 100, O45 in 1897, and the
smallest 1924, $50. l36 in 1895. The only
other billion export year was in 1896,
when we exported 81, OO5, S37. 241. The
imports for 1898 were the smallest in
any of the six years compared, being
1858, 664, 634, against SAP, 500, 229 in
1897 and ss01, 669, 347 in 1895, when the
when the imports were the largest for
the past six years.
For December, 1898, our exports of

| HON. CUSHMAN R. DAVIS enter.
upon his third term in the United
States senate under circumstances
which will try to the utmost the
metal of which he IS made--and nc
one who is at all familiar with him
TOR a moment doubts that he is
equal to the ordeal. He stands to-
day the most conspicuous figure in
the legislative councils of this
great nation-the leader in an is
sue, or rather, perhaps, condition,
which means a radical change in
the traditions and the policy of the
nation. He has manifested broad
craftsmanship and rare perceptive
tact through the successive stages
which have led up to this condi-
ton, and President Mckinley has
recognized the fact, and advanc d
him to the place in the dominant
party.
A higher type of craftsmanship
-thatWhich is peculiarly construc-
tive along untried lines-is now re-
CURED, and there are thousands of
patriotic, thoughtful and intelligent
n e 4 who have grave and hon .st
doubts as to the ability of the
government to shape affairs to the
honor and safety of the republic. |
Senator Davis of necessity, and by |
reason of his ability and expert
-nee, must be conspicuous leader

eyes of the world arecentered upon
him as upon no other member of

all the confidence of settled con-

ator Nelson will have the fight of
his life to maintain his seat in the
United States senate, and that the
chances are not in his favor.
While these political oracles are
doubtless prompted to forecast the
future as they would have it, it
would appear better form tor
them to examine the situation
closer. The chances III favor of
Mr.. Nelson's reelection to the
senate are ninety-nine to one
and even that statement grossly
exaggerates his danger. The cleo
ton will depend upon the political
complexion of the next house of
state representatives. The senate,
which holds over is very largely
friendly to him avowedIy so, in
recognition of the magnificent
work done by him in behalf of the
party during the last Campaign. |
Furthermore his value as senator
is becoming more evident with |
every progressing week of the conS

chance of his defeat lies in the
very impossible contingency of a
