There was large gathering of farmers
at the annual meeting of the Burlington

John B. Warrick report was made OF
the crop conditions for the past year by
Henry I. Budd.
This was followed by paper on "San
Jose Scale and Other Pernicious Insects, -
by Professor J. B. Smith, of the New
Jersey experimental station, who after
explaining at considerable length the
characteristics of this pest, announced
that it was gradually being exterminated
in consequence of the intelligent efforts
of many farmers and fruit growers who
were following out the plans suggested by
those who had made careful study o
the subject. II the fight is continued
along the same lines he thought the pest
would be destroyed.

Shall Wisdom or FooIishness Prevail?

In determining who shall receive the
complimentary nomination for United
States senator, the members Of the flu
sion minority ought to have no difficult
ty in agreeing. It would be manifestly
out Of place to select, for instance, no
matter what their many qualifications
may be, such gentlemen as the gov
ernor Of Minnesota or the national COM
mittee of the Democratic party or the
chairman of the national committee of
the Silver Republican party. All three
Of these men have already been Sc
lected because Of their qualifications to
discharge special duties, and, having
been honored to that extent for the
present at least, they are, or properly
should be, satisfied. 1t Is for the mi
nority to consider whether harmoni-
Gus future cannot best be assured
for the union forces by comforting this
compliment upon some such man as
Phil Winston or Judge Nelson or Judge
Severance. The next twenty-four
hours will determine whether wisdom
or foolishness shall prevail in the coun-
ellis of the union forces.

ton is natural one: What has Arch

The archbishop told The G l o b e the

cally. that there was no significance to
this visit. and that there was no truth
in any stories of doubts and misunder-
standings in which his name figured.
What object can the Pioneer Press
1t will not do for it to mildly intimate
that such reports may have no founda-
ton in fact. Why print them at all if
there is any doubt about it?
We venture the prediction that Arch
bishop Ireland will return from Rome
with the same colors flying as when he
entered the Eternal City. His reputa-
ton at the Vatican will have been I'M

The State Press.

Inc Republican press OF Minnesota is In q
sad plight. Gov. Lind has thus far refused
absolutely to do anything at which they can
level criticism. He has appointed none
but experienced, capable men to ONCE;
whenever he speaks in public or II inter
viewed by reporters only words Of calm,
good sense are heard, and his message to
the legislature is so far above criticism that
not only are they all forced to commend
1t, but one of them goes so far as to char
acter1ze Ut as the most statesmanlike mes
sage that has been sent to the legislature
IN good many years. But just wait until
the governor makes q mistake, big or little
-as 1T Is human to do-and listen to them
howl with 1oy.-Martin County Sentinel
The recommendations of Gov. Lind In his
message in favor of putting the oil inspector
and clerk Of the supreme court on salary
and the scaling down of the fees Of several
other departments should not receive a d.s-
senting voice. The feel system should be
eradicated as much as possible.-Waverly
Tribune.
Gov. Lind's message was a very sensible
one In many ways. He did not go after
the railroad and warehouse commission and
It's duties, as We had reason to believe that
he would. His recommendations for the care
of the Insane are to the point and based on
his observation of the methods now in use
in other stafess particularly in Wisconsin
This view will not suit the Anoka people,
but Will meet the general approval of @
large number of those who have given the
matter much thought. His remarks con-
corning taxation were timely and good Re-
publican doctrine. In fact there is much in
his message that sounds like Republicanism,
and it really begins to look as If he had not
forgotten his early training with the party
OF the people. The governors appointments
thus far will meet the approval of the peo-
pie irrespective of party. The outlook is
good for fair administration Of state affairs
as far as is in the power of the governor
to conduct them.-Willmar Weekly Argus.

-tuous protestations. With the exception of

News-Tribune
S'long, Gov. Clough! You have done better
than the people expected. and for your work
in helping to elect John Lind you have
earned the lasting gratitude Of all lovers Of
good goyernment--Martin County Sentinel.

recommendations they can go before the
people two years hence and ask a vote Of
confidence. Otherwise let them beware The

FAMOUS SITE.
Real Estate In Washington Sold to
Caleb Willard.

Caleb Willard.
From the New York Sun.
A real estate transaction was closed
today which will remove a house quite
as famous locally as the "spite house"
of Milliopaire Richardson, in New
York. and for a similar reason. Joe
e. Willard today transferred to his
uncle Caleb Willard, a bit of ground
on F street, adjoining the Ebbitt house,
for the sum of $4,000. The ground
could have been more than covered by
the purchase money had it consisted
of dollar bills, for the ground Is
only u feen II inches front, and, while
it runs back $50 feet, there Is a large
piece cut out Of the side so there are
considerably less than 5000 square feet
in the plot.
The three Willard brothers started
in the hotel business in Washington
in the early forties. They obtained
the hotel at the corner Of Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue and
called it Wizards hotel. Under that
name it has been famous for nearly
half century, and from it they all
drew large fortunes. AS they prosper
ed they disagreed, and the brothers
Joe and Cale't quarreled. Joe bought
out his brothers interest in the hotel
and Caleb opened the Ebbitt house,
opposite the north end Of Willard d 8
hotel and at the southeast corner of
Fourteenth and F streets, which is
almost as famous as Wizards. On
the left of the Ebbitt house Caleb own
ed large lot, and on this he has long
wished to build an addition to the Eb-
bftt. Joe purchased a lot between the
two parcels of Caleb's property, and
this lot he held as long as he lived.
1T was In vain that Caleb attempted
to purchase it at a fancy price. In
vain did he employ ingenious agents
to bargain for him. Joe had several
millions and did not need the money,
so he declined to sell. So, year after
year, Caleb looked at the little lot and
longed for it. Across the street was
another lot owned by Joe, but on which
he declined to build. A syndicate once
offered him a large sum Of money for
this corner, and when he refused the
agent said:
well, suppose we cover it with sill
yer dollars?"
ION edge?' inquired Joe quickly.
On this corner an Italian kept fruit
stand Often when asked to part with
the corner, Joe Willard said he could
not disturb the Italian. But one day
Joe died intestate. and his son, Joseph
E. Willard fell heir to his millions
Joseph E. is as progressive as his
father was conservative. Scarcely had
he perfected his title to the property
when the erection of a six-story build
ing was begun on the corner. Next
the old house in which Joe G. had lived
for forty years and the front blinds of
which had not been opened for a score
of years, was remodeled and rented to
brokers and other business men for
offices.
The conclusion finally came when
the little lot was sold to Caleb Willard
The three landmarks associated with
Joe C's name are gone. Wizards ho-
tel and Willard's hall will next be re-
moved to make room for a fine new

The German Merchant Marine.

II the efforts now being made to
build up" the army were directed
toward building up our merchant
marine, we would be farther along
than the mere introduction of three
bills into congress to encourage COM
merce. Germany has already decided
to pay something over a million dollars
year for merchant liners to run be-
tween German, Japanese, Chinese and
Australasian ports, while we are still
paying S20O,000,000 for the use Of for
eign vessels in our commerce.
Germany has also closed contracts
for the construction of eight steamers,
four Of which are to be ready for the
Chinese and Japanese service by Nov
1, 1900. All these ships are to be built
in Germany, of German material, and
to be approved by the German ad-
miralty.
nations prosperity increases in di-
rect proportion to its commerce. There
fore the instruments of commerce
should not be left at the mercy of for
eign shippers. While our domestic
trade is unsurpassed by that Of any
other country. because Of our superb
interior and coastwise transportation
facilities. our foreign trade suffers
greatly in comparison because we are
without adequate ocean shipping.
Through her encoura cement of her
merchant marine Germany has in
creased her trade with China and the
Dutch East Indies threefold. Her ex-
ports to the British East Indies have
increased in the same period seven
fold. and to Japan fivefold, while she
ships four times as much to Australia
as she did ten years ago.
The land grabbers who belittle the
opportunities wasted by neglect Of our
merchant marine and expatiate upon
our glorious territorial acquisitions
present humorous resemblance to the
tabled ass that turned in disdain from
the good provisions and soliloquized
upon the superiority Of the bitter and
pricklV thistle
