The St. Peter Free Press, whose
editor II. G. Miller, is one of the best
political writer's of the state, has the
following to say regarding the dis.
cussion of the Puerto Rican tariff
which the tariffites persist in keeping
up
Itis difficult to understand why
the congressional tariHtes should be
so persistent in keeping up the agita-
ton. They have made blunder and
they know it and the less they talk
about it the soouer it might be for
gotten. A single mistake, however
serious, of an otherwise useful con-
gresham could and perhaps would
be generously overlooked, out this
contemptuous, domineering, II know
it all' spirit is provoking and what is
more tends to bring out discussions
that had better be AVOIDED.
If the tarifites think they can per-
suade anybody but themselves that
they did not make a mistake, they
are woefully off. They, at least,
would do better to let the matter
quit down, rather than food this
country with speeches in favor of the
original bill-speeches which only
make the case appear the weaker to
whoever reads them.

ALFRED PICARD.

The dedication of the buildings o1
the Paris Exposition brings to close
the first stage of the triumph of Gen
eral Alfred Picard. He has had
charge of the preliminary arrange
ments, and his is the power that has
insured the success of the enterprise.
He has been tileless ever since his
appointment to the dictatorship. He
is termed the personifcation of work
and science, and his energy and gen
eralistic qualities have transformed
the exposition grounds into veri'
table fairy land. General Picard is
an Alsatian by birth, and in the early
sixties passed through the Polytech-
mic School and was graduated from
the School of Engineers. In, the
Franco -Prussian war he commanded
battalion of engineers, and was
decorated with the cross of the
Legion of Honor for his work in be-
half of his country, He has built
reservoirs, canals, and railroads. In
1881 he became State Councillor. He
is an author, having compiled the
history of the Paris Exposition Of
1882. and written several volumes on
the history of French railways and a
treatise on waters.

+ petition, so as to avoid any show of
partisanship. 1t seems that things
are to be changed now. By the call
issued for the populist county con-
vention we see that delegates are to
be elected to a "PoPULIsr judicial con-
vention." Having thus thrown down
the gauntlet and deliberately invited
fight, the fusionists must shoulder
the responsibility if the judgship in
this district, is dragged into the poll
tical mire. In view of the fact that
the position is now held by a NOM
Der of their own party and with past
customs to guide them, the populist
leaders should have at least permitted
the opposition (if opposition there
is to be) to make the first move and
say whether they proposd to make a
fight on Judge Steidl or gracefully
consent to the Office being eliminated
from political strife and the present
incumbent's name placed on the
ticket in the manner customery in
the past. If Judge Steidl has fight
on his hands, he can thank his fool
political friends who have thus forced
the issue, and by calling partisan
convention, made it necessary for the
republicans to do likewise, thus max
ing the judgship the object of parti-
san strife when such state of affairs
might have been avoided.-Wheaton

A new ruling in county treasurer
Offices throughout the state has been
put into effect by the state examiner.
Hereafter no treasurer will be per-
mitted to pay out any cash, but mnst
honor the auditors warrant with a
check on the bank in which the funds
are deposited. More important even
than this if the order that no check
can be drawn in payment of war
rant, nor can the commissioners
authorize any payment to be made
on or from any funds overdrawn. If
certain fund is overdraWn and a
warrant is issued against that fund,
tle treasurer must indorse on the
blck of the warrant, not paid for
lack of funds. The local bank will
cash the warrant and charge six per
cent to the county until the warrant
is taken up. 1t has been he custom
in many counties, it is said, to pay
out indiscriminately from the various
funds and balance at the end of the
year. To pay warrant out of fund
that is overdrawn is looked upon as
misappropriation and must stop.
Such at any rate, are the orders in
this county.-Anoka Special to Min

MISPLACED CREDIT.

The friends of Congressman Eddy
here are trying to bolster up his
waning cause by calling attention tc
t'all Mr.. Eddy has done for Morris. .
They claim that Mr.. Eddy was re-
sponsible for the purchase of the
Indians school here and the large
appropriation which have been made
for it's be1eft since. Now the buying
of the Indian school here was only
the carrying out by the government
of policy which they had adopted
for the whole country. The govern
ment formerly made an appropriation
for the benefit of all denominational
schools for Indians. The plan did
not prove satisfactory, SO the govern
ment bought up the whole outfit.
Then it became necessary here as at
other points for the government to
replace the old buildings with more
substantial structures and they would
have done this just the same if there
had been no Congressman Eddy.
Eddy is also given credit for
the pensions which have been
granted to old soldiers here when the
facts of the case are that Eddy turns
such matters over to the department
and that is all he can do. The de-
partment decides on all cases accord
ing to their rules and regulations and
the recommendation of the congress-
man is only a formal affair. Down
in Washington where congressman
are as chmmon as gophers here in
June, the departments have troubles
of their own and the recommendation
Of congressman has nothing more
to do with the granting of pension
than does the condition of the
weather.

According to the above, written by

A good deal of sentiment is being
developed even among politicians
favorable to extending the main fea-
lures of the state law regulating pri-
mary elections, now only applicable
to Hennepin county, to the whole
stat and the Star News heartily
favors the proposition, as it has from
the beginning. There has always
been difficulty in securing election
reforms because of the opposition of
a certain class of politicians, but
public sentiment is becoming so
thoroughly aroused in favor of pri
mary election law that will do away
with conventions and caucuses that it
seems as though the time was ripe to
push the matter before the next legis-
Iature. The more simple the law the
better satisfaction it will give.-Elk

when they first begin to lay will refuse

floor and penned in one of the boxes, it
will usually break up the habit, of de-
posting the egg on the floor. But one
will be found now and then which will
obstinately refuse to lay anywhere but

and argument fails, that of the Ratchet
will be effective.

Its cluster OF Three Boards; c. Seed.
marks that the name bengal grass"
by which il was first known in this
country, suggests such an origin.
Flint, on the contrary, makes the state
ment that il was first brought to the
United States from Europe. However
this may be. it seems that the seed used
in Tennessee, where this variety first
came into real prominence, was brought
from France in the early sixties. and
since that time has been the leading
millet sown in the south. German mil
let makes heavy yield of forage I'M
der favorable conditions, but does not
stand drought as well as the smaller
varieties, such as common millet and
Hungarian. The hay is coarser and
less highly valued than that from the
smaller millets, but when the forage
can be fed in the green state this will
be found to be an excellent variety to
grow, on account of the heavy yield.
German millet is the latest of the va
rietes commonly grown here, and his
exceedingly variable in its appearance
and habit of growth. 1t is very sell
dom that one sees a field that is uni
form in. character. Many. perhaps
most, of the heads may be typical of
the variety, but usually there will be
many others scarcely to be dstn-
guisheG from common millet or other
standard varieties.

GOOD FARM MACHINERY.
In These Days of Competitions Field
work Cannot lie Carried On Sue
cessfuIIy without IL.

Every good farmer recognizes the i'm
portance of having full equipment of
farm implements and machinery, and in
fact the difference between tirst-rate
and second-rate farmer is very striking
ly marked in the quality of machines
and implements found upon their
farms. 1t looks like waste of time
and labor to spend many weeks or
months time in preparing for crop
and then lessen its chances of growth
by imperfect implements in working
ana harvesting it. The thrifty and
well-posted farmer sees to il that every
implement, or machine, or tool, upon
the place is in first-class order, and
he also sees that these things are OF
the latest pattern and with all i'm
provements such as are calculated TO
do the work perfectly, with the mini
mum expense of labor; and then be-
sides there is great deal of satisfac-
ton in having things about the farm
that work nicely. There is nothing
more discouraging to farm hand than
10 send him out to the field to work
with an imperfect pillow or any sort of
implement. He is more than likely to
shirk his work, and the chances of a
matured crop are lessened by every day
that he spends in the feld with this
sort of machinery. We wish to i'm
press upon readers the Importance of
looking after these things right now.
1t will not be very long until all sorts
of farm machinery will be called to
use. and il will be good policy to pre-
pare everything in use beforehand. We
know that every year some of the old
things about the farm have to be re-
placed. Now is the time to investigate
the merits of new implements and ma
chinery which you will have to buy
/ liz tile la ter, on. We advise looking over
catalogues of the things that you may
want to buy and learn for yourself the
merits of the things advertised. Then
when you get ready to make your pur-
chases your mind will be made up as
| 10 just what YOU want and the selec-
ton will he very easy to make. Look
over these things right now, and it will
save you many dollars little later on.
