VARIOUS OPINIONS.

Albert Lea: Mckinley, Roosevelt,
Van SAINT Prosperity, progress, ex,
pansion. Bryan, Towne, Lind.
Financial fallacy, commercial ruin,
contraction.
Mortified News: Farmers with
small farms well cultivated will make
more money this year than large grain
growers. There are some excellent
fields of corn where continuous Guilt
walton has been kept up. -.
Owatonna Chronicle: Admiral
George Dewey says that if Bryan is
nominated at Kansas City his party
will be whipped to finish. F" A
Chicago paper inclines to the opinion
that Dewey knows what he means by
the term whipped to finish;' and
that perhaps only one other man, one
Montejo understands it better
Morris Sun: Practical politics playt
ed very insignificant part in the Re.
publican national convention. The tide
of conservative public opinion in favor
of President McKinley's nomination
was more than political leaders cared
to stem, and when the bosses under
took to dictate and control the vice
presidential nomination, the wave OF
enthusiastic popular sentiment In
favor of Roosevelt literally swamped
them. Never in the histroy of the Re-
publican party have the political lead
ers been so helpless to influence re-
suits, they have literally had to sit on
the fence and see the procession go by.

A WRONG IMPUTATION.

The Duluth Evening Herald of the
Both ult., in its political column gives
uttreance to the following
The men who were conspicuous at st.
Paul in their assistance to Mr.. Dare
are George r. Laybourne, T. M.
Pugh and George j. Mallory, all can
didates for the legislature. Their ac-
tion has brought on them the condem-
nation of a large element of the anti
machine faction of the party, and the
propriety of their action is seriously
questioned there. They are asserted
to be in the position of men who were
boiling the action of convention of
their party, and one of them had been
member of that very convention.
In their labors for Mr.. Dare they
could not but discredit the delegation
regularly elected. There was no other
way for them to assist Mr.. Dare when
their own county had declared for
another.
So far as Mr.. Pugh is concerned oul
esteemed contemporary is very fal
from the facts and this we know
from our own observation of hi
course at the convention. 1t is true
that in the first place Mr.. Pugh wa
friendly to Mr.. Dare on accoun Of hi
assistance to the Duluth delegation al
through the last session of the legis
lature, but from the time that St
Loui county endorsed Mr.. Miller TO
railroad commissioner Mr.. Pugl
Loyalty supported the action of hi:
county and it's candidate.
From a personal knowledge of wha
took place at the convention we ar
inclined to the opinion that any effor
to discount Mr.. Pugh's action il
purely gratuitious on the part of thu
Herald, and without any foundation
in fact.

THE GRAIN LOUISE.
The New Bug That Has Scared Farmers
is Not Formidable.

People have recently noticed small
insect on the wheat heads, and have
feared that it would have an injurious
effect on the crop everywhere it oper-
ated Geo. NJ. Palmer sent some of
the bugs to the state entomologist,
Prof. Otto Lugger, and has received
the following reply:
st. Anthony Park, Mimi, July 3, 1900.
Mr.. G M. Palmer, Mankato.
Dear Sir-Yours and bugs received.
The heads-of course of the wheat
are infected with lice, the common
grain louise. These insects are very
numerous in many places in the state,
no doubt owing to the dry season. As
a general rule they cause but little
damage, but if very numerous they are
apt to cause shrinking of the kerr
nels. But their time is up, since they
need the liquid sap of the plants,
which are now getting too mature for
this purpose. But to make sure what
will be the prospect for another year
it would be best to send me in tin
box more heads with living specimens.
I had samples from other localities
that were so badly infested with para
sites that there need be no fear for
next seasons crop.
Indeed, l have been very much en-
gaged-average sixty letters day.
Yours, etc,
o. LUGGER.
This should relieve the. fears that
these insects have caused.
Prof Lugger is a very valuable man
for the farming interests of the state.
He knows bugs like the alphabet and
how to get rid of them if they are de-
tructive. He is constantly over
whelmed by inquiries from all parts
of the state.

A FUSION SCHEME.

One of the latest schemes said to
have been put forth by the fusionists
for their state ticket, is the endorse
ment of G.. F. Staples for railroad
commissioner, and Judge Start for
chief justice of the supreme court.
Messrs. Ringdahl and Knox of the pre-
sent commission will be put up as the
other two commissioners, it is said,
and desperate attempt will be made
to elect them, the cry begging made for
a non-partisian commission The pro-
posal of Judge Starts endorsement is
probably for the purpose of influencing
Republican votes for the fusion mem
bers of the commission in return for
the endorsement of Staples. Such a
move would no doubt be a shrewd one
on the part of the fusion crowd, but it
is not likely it would fool the Repub
licans to the extent of winning. The
Republicans have strong ticket for
the railroad commission, and there is
not the least reason why they should
turnl around and give the commission
to the fusion crowd, and especially
when they can not only elect their
own nominees but their candidate for
chief justice also, no matter what the
fusionists do.
The fusion crowd are making big
hurrah just now over adjusting rail
road rates, but they are fooling no.
body by it. The majority Of the COM
mission has been in their hands for a
year and a half now, and ever since
last January they have had it entire.
and have had plenty of time to insti-
tute reforms, but have not seen fit TO
do SO until campaign, is about to
open, and their action at every move
plainly indicates, that politics is all
there is in it. The Republicans have
been responsible for every progressive
move in the way of railway legisla-
tion that has been given Minnesota,
and have enforced it. They now
have a good ticket, from head to foot,
and they should go into the cam
paign with the determination of elect
ing it from top to bottom, railroad
commissioners and all.

John Loomis this morning reported
to Sheriff Gerlich that his horse and
buggy was stolen last night while tied

delapidated condition. The horse was
subsequently found a little further on.

1t looks as though Bob La Toilette
would be nominated for governor of
Wisconsin by the Republicans AS
county after county that two years ago
was against him, is now electing dele
gates favorable to him. A few days
ago Gov. Schoield issued an address
in opposition to him, and the next day
the governors home county elected a
La Toilette delegation. If La Toilette
is nominated the people of Wisconsin
will know they have campaign on
in their midst, and they will have a
first class governor for the next two
years who will not lack sufficient
quality of backbone to do what is
right.
