The Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany has been carrying, freights cheap
er both eastward and westward from
st. Paul, Minneapolis and other large
distribution points than from ST. Cloud,
Minnesota, in disregard to the ruleafor-
bidding a larger rate for shorter haul.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided that The railroad company
cannot legally make this discrimination
against st. Cloud shippers, and must
conform is tariffs to the long and short
haul rule laid down in the Act Of Con-
gress. The excuse that competitive
tariffs on other lines must be met is not
deemed justification for discrlmina-
tion.

The budget of the German empire
shows deficit for the year of $4,000
900. Among the expenditures under

army is put down at $135,0 900. This
is about $1O.O00,Oo0 more than the esti-

LEARNING SOMETHING.

Over twenty-five years ago daring
farmer in the State of Delaware VEN
t1rred to abandon the ancient practice
of raising wheat and corn on MS
land. and in their places cultivated the
4omato plant As usual, his neighborS
laughed at him. Then he put IN his
barn a small and imperfect canning
apparatus. He sold his product to the
Philadelphia groceries. His nelghbors
looked on with interest as he increas-
ed his crop from year to year And
then one by one began to follow MS
example. None of them had anv use
AT that time for scientific men, so they
made plumbers, got poor crops, sent
out imperfect goods, but at the same
time learned something.
Last month there was a meeting IN
Dover, of the tomato farmers, and
dealers in the product. 1t was stated
that there would be 10000 acres or
tomato plants under cultivation this
year in the state, and that the farm
ers would accept the price $500 per
ton offered by the large canning es-
Establishments.
For some years the farmers of Del
aware, like our own planters, staked
their prosperity upon the single peach
crop. The soil and climate was most
favorable for producing it. It paid.
So they put all their eggs in one bas-
ket. The late Governor Biggs who in
PRODUCED the peach industry cultivated
10000 trees. It was assumed, as usual,
that the prosperity of the business
could only be affected by the cold. And
when the peach blight appeared the

THE CAMPAIGN IN LUZON.

The loss of 157 men killed, and S64
wounded during a six weeks campaign
against Aguinaldo, near Manila, is rel
atively insignificant. AS wars go, it
would indicate desultory fighting.
Some would even say that our troops
refused to come to close quarters, or
kept cut of the way
The campaign will be noted, not for
it's insignificant battles, but for the
Skill with which it is conducted so as
to avoid loss of life. Gen Otis in all
of his arrangements avoids taking any
risks which may leave any of his men
as prisoners in the hands of the Fill
lpinOS. The capture of a few of his
men, and any cruel treatment of them
by the enemy, would precipitate retail
the British troops retaliated on
the Kalifas troops in the Soudan,
when they fired on their captors, after
surrender Any student of Gen. Otis
campaign sees that he will not take
the ordinary chances in campaigns,
i because Il DdTDaflc War may occur at
once if any OF his men are captured
1t is fortunate that the old Indian
war campaigners are commanding our
forces. Without experience in fighting
the crafty Indians, no military educa-
ton could prepare them TO fight I'M
civilized races. The graduates of
West Point learned little from the
books about the best theories of fight
ing Indians. Their school of instruc-
tion was in the field, and for many
years the Indians had the best of it.
1t is these graduates from the school
of Indian warfare who are now driv-
ing back the Filipinos with such an
extraordinary small sacrifice of life.
The campaign is, like that of the
British in the Soudan, one mainly of
rapid firing machine guns. These
guns, together with the careful avoid
ance of risks that would permit the
capturing of any of our forces, seem
to be the most important features of
the campaign.

farmers talked about 1t, but did moth
ing. Like our labor question, it was
difficult to handle. So it was put
aside. The blight extended, and the
farmers began to groan, but continued
to extend their orchards. And the
blight extended with them. For many
years the investments in peach orch
ards paid dividends of 30 per cent and
even 100 per cent.
As the profits of peach cultivation
declined, owing to the plant disease,
and the occasional cold spells, the
farmers were driven to other indus
tries. The cultivation of the tomato
is one of them. Their industries are
now being diversified.

THE EXTENSION MISSION.

The object of the University Exten-
sion lectures is TO give that instruction
which a community most needs, just
as a physician gives his patient not
a medicine which may do him some
good, but the very best medicine that
will restore his health. In many, IN
most of the American communities,
the underlying political and economi-
cal questions are among homogene-
GUS people Fundamental principles
are generally accepted. The racial
questions are subordinate. The people
need and are ready for the instruction
which University Extension now gives
according to it's light.
We have here a racial question,
aside from several highly important
economical questions regarding land,
which concerns vitality the future OF
the white community. 1t concerns ed
ucation, the social conditions, the lit
erature we shall have, and the future
itself of the young people now grow
ing up.
There are six thousand men, women
and children of the Anglo-Saxon race
confronting one hundred thousand of
the people of other races here. The
principle of self-government is recog-
nized, though with some limitations.
There is and must be racial rivalry,
not noisy or bloody, but silent and
searching
The way of meeting honestly and
wisely these racial questions is the
supreme need of the hour. Perhaps
we do know how to meet them, but are
simply Sinking them because they are
ugly and unpleasant. If we are, then
we have need of prompting and urging
and the University Extension should
appear and snap over our backs what
Ruskin calls the whip cords of We
racity''
We may know by heart the litera-
ture of the Victorine age, OF its poets
and noyelists, but that knowledge Will
not help us in settling this question of
civilization. The best mission of the
Extension work here should be to
make it clear to us what the outcome
of this extraordinary condition of
things will be and what We must do I
about it.
As a community we have apparent |
1y fallen into a stupor, induced by an |
excessive sugar diet, regarding these |
and alarming conditions !
and it needs the sharp prodding by |
most serious and able men in order to |
recover from it. A prosperous COM
is not serious one. The
flesh pots are more attractive than
ever. And when the eye is steadily |
fixed upon these trimming pots full |
of good things, it is irritating to hear
Duty ring the door bell and demand |
a hearing.
But this should be the real mission
of University Extension here; to as
sumo the garb of Duty, and make it
self heard even if it meets with only
an "iron welcome"

EXCURS IONS.

The popularity of those Indian Head
trips on the steamer Charles Manchester
was manifested in very practical and sub
stantial way last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings. The steamer was
crowded, and a large majority of those on
board were young people. Many of them
preferred good music good floor and a
good partner in waltz to the sail on to
Indian Head, consequently a majority re-
mained at the Hall until the return of the
boat from Indian Head. 1t isn't often that
jollier party goes to Marshall Hall than
the ones that went down on the first trip
of the season. These trips to Indian Head
