Thomas Lowry of Minneapolis is
in New York and in an interview in
the Tribune tells the old story of pros
psrity that has reached the east from
all sections of the west. The inter-
view says: Business affairs never
looked better in Minnesota than to-
day. The spring wheat crop of the
three great wheat states, Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, will amount
to about two hundred million bushels.
One OF the best expert Judges returned
to Minneapolis just before left there
and reported that after thorough
personal investigation he estimated
the crop at l97 ,000,0 900 bushels. At
first it was feared the high winds
which have been prevailing recently
in the wheat producing areas would
greatly damage the crop, but they
are over now and the damage is not
nearly so great as anticipated. To
move this crop, | do not believe we
will have to borrow a dollar outside
capital, there is so much money in
the three states at present -

The writer was born in New York
of Mohawk Dutch extraction, while
Mr. Morris is a native OF Virginia.
But as neither of US had much
choice either in locality of birth or
selection of parentage the average
fair-minded American will not
seriously blame either of us. The
accident of birth and length of
lineage is a very inconsequential
item in ones personal fitness, and
not until some snob assumes supe-
riority by reason of it, car. it be le-
ultimately made matter OF remark
much less by prejudice
BY the way is it to emphasize his
long lineage that Mr.. Bede invari-
ably injectS the adam into his
name even at the expense of part
ing it in the middle.
Now, really, friend Bede, don't
you think you strained a point a
little in your pleasantly presented
effort to break the force of oppo-
sition to your candidacy by at
tempting to create an unWarranted
prejudice in the minds Of those you
are pleased to call the "plain
people? Honestly, don't you be-
lieve, that Page. Morris and Mr..
4Hsndryx are just. as plain as you
are-and, as much in sympathy
with the whole mass of Sixth Dis
tfict people?

II pains US grievously to chide
one whom we fondiy love, but the
ST. Cloud Journal-Press, edited by
Algah Eastman, receiver of the
land office at that town, having
quoted from the Sank Centre Her
aid an editorial which we give else
where, and referred it to us as the
opinion of one who is "not an
office holder" we cannot fail to
take cognizance of the same. In
the first place the action of Alvah
in this matter only demonstrates
now hard it is IL find an adverse
comment on the Budget editors
congressional aspirations from a
disinterested source. In the next
place the editor Of the Sank Cen
tire HERALD, Hon. Chas. F. Hen
dryx, isnot disinterested. He has
an expectancy under Congress-
man Morris, and it is only mat
ter of time when he will receive a
good appointment. lndeed,he was
rendered a consulship in Cuba, but
the salary attached would, not per
NIT his acceptance, And only a
week or two before the editorial
was written Mr.. Hendrix was the
guest Tor several days of Congress
man Morris in Duluth. Personally
we think Mr. Hendryx is entitled
TO a very good place,and we would
cheeaullY DO anything we could to
secure one for him regardless of
whom he naysupport for congress.
He ought really to have had the
place which Alvah holds,and Alvah
ought to have had better one,
more suited to his splendid worth.
We can understand how a learned
man like Mr.. Hendryx who has
trotted long and fast with Cicero
on the Appian Way should prefer
a cultured aristocrat like Mr.. Morris
to a plain and rude plebeiarf like
yourself. especially as both their
families come from the nobility Of
Virginia. But we still insist that
aside from all this, Mr.. Hendryx
being a candidate for a good place
at the hands of MI. Morris, cannot
be deemed a wholly disinterested
person, and Mr.. Eastman does him
self an injustice. when. he tries to
make it SO appear. We have no
fault to find with the appointees or
would-be appointees of Mr.. Morris,
but we insist that they are not dis
interested and that their opinions
will be considerably discounted in
this district-and the ;state.--Bede's
Budget.

Elsewhere the HERALD reprints
an article from the pen of J, Adam
Bede, the genial and talented
humorist, whose facile pen and
ready tongue have provoked more
genuine and healthful mirth than
those of any other in the north
west. The article reprinted IS,
however, little out of his line,
and like most other specialists,
when outside the lines of his pc
culiar speciality, he is not happy.
Mr. Bede has conceived the idea
thathe would like to go to con
gfess a very laudable ambition,

AZ TO TRUSTS.

It is question now pressing it
self upon the earnest consideration
Of the acutest minds in all parties
as to the most effective method Of
destroying. controlling and pre-
venting pernicious trusts. Not
every aggregation of capital for
business purposes is pernicious,
nor can all combination for bust
ness purposes be classed as trusts;
but when such aggregation and
combination assumes to control pro-
duction below the normal for the
purpose of raising prices above
Legitimate profit, then it becomes
an enemy to the body polite and
falls within the designation Of
being contrarys to public policy.
Admitting this as aself evident fact
the question still perplexes the
wisest as to framing legislation
that shall accomplish its purpose
of prevention and cure without in
ringing upon personal and prop
ierty rights. To attempt to make a
political issue Of such legislation is
absurd.
To inveigh against trusts ir
party platforms is the merest dem.
agogic clap trap. What the suffer
ling people want is relief in fac
