AGAINST PARTITION OF CHINA.

Whatever may be said in criticism OF
the administration at Washington re-
garding its foreign policy, it is deserving
Of unstinted praise for the humane and
consistent attitude maintained in all of
the difficult situations in China. Only
once was there a blunder and that was
the fault of the representative and not
OF Washington.
The recent dispatches which in
dicate that Germany has been call

diplomatic deals to secure slices of Chi
reese territory. testify to the good sense
OF our diplomatic policy.
Russia while openly favoring the IN
tegrIty Of China has secretly secured
the control of Mancharia and as has
been stated in the Glob e, Germany
while reluctantly agreeing to the gen
eral policy of the powers, has ever held
herself in readiness to force an open
rupture with China--an event which
would cid in practical partition.

MINNEsoTA,s TRIUMPH.

Looking over the list Of prizes and of
the high-scoring contestants, published
in yesterdays G o b e, the wonder grows
that Minnesota could be able to make
such a remarkable showing. Taking the
first prize is in itself great honor; bat
the place which the state has won in the
butter industry is perhaps more surely
and clearly shown in the long succession
of Minnesota names of those who have
scored well up toward the top, than in
the number of prizes secured.
No one can. of course, say that tie
holding of the convention in the capital
of the state has had anything to do with
the event. The position of the state had
been too well established before the con-
vention to admit of the thought that
prejudice or preference had aught to do
with the result
No adequate explanation has thus far
Minnesota has taken such high rank. 1t
cannot be wholly due to the superior
workmanship of those engaged in the
industry. Natural causes operate most
potently. Just what those causes are
will no doubt in the course Of time he
made plain. That they are of prime i'm
portance is quite plain. Considering how
recent has been the engagement of our
people in~the industry the advantages of
Minnesota must be of the, most decisive
character.
The unfortunate incident of the at
tempted bribing of one of the judges
proves little more than the genuine value
Of the certificates issued under the direc-
ton OF the National Buttermakers' So
ciety The action taken by the society,
as well as the treatment extended to the
offending member by the gentleman
whose rectitude was called in question
show dignity and good sense, and Will
operate to prevent such unseemly pro-
ceedings in the future.
Thousands upon thousands of acres in
moment remain untitled, and waste,
which are capable of being utilized for
any agricultural purpose whatever. If
the important event of the Buttermakers'
convention is allowed to pass away with
out anything like concerted steps being
taken to bring before the country the
superior advantages of the state for
those engaged in the production of but
ter it might as well never have taken
place.
While each individual community OF
any proportions is supposed to take steps
for extending the knowledge of it's
advantages to those who reside outside
of it, the fact that there is no concerted
action taken by the several commune
ties OF the state to make known the adj
vantages OF the state as an entirety
loses us many of the opportunities which
might be availed of to add materially to
its population.
Properly awaited of the convention
which has just completed it's delibera-
tions can be made a source of great en-
richment. 1t will be our own fault if we
do not supplement the great good that
has resulted by weIl-considered and con-
tinued work to make further known the
superiority of the state in soil and
climate as a center of butter produc-
