Immigrants.

Minnesota stood seventh in the num-
Der Of foreign settlers received through
the port of New York during 1901.
The states receiving more than Mime
sofa, with one exception lie on the At
lantic seaboard territory.
During 1900 the state received from
immigration through New York z, 955
settlers. Last year the number was
5,58S. Other states in adjacent terri
tory obtained no increase whatever,
and in all of them the total number of
new settlers was but fracti on of what
Minnesota received.
North Dakota obtained 1856 of the
immigrants, a decided falling off.
South Dakota received 2,1O3; Montana,
Ills; Washington, 1868; Oregon, 52s.
The total immigration for the year
amounted to 412,416 persons, against
81, 500 for the previous year. The i'm
migrants were of more than thirty ma
tionalities, those Of southern Europe
predominating. This is taken as the
cause for the heavier settlement in the
seaboard states. Illinois was the only
inland state leading Minnesota.

census report showing the relative ex-
tent of land devoted to the cultivation
|.of barley, buckwheat, corn, oats, rye
and wheat in the year 1899 in the
states of Minnesota, North Dakota
and South Dakota, have been made
public. III
according to these records, Minne-
sofa compares to advantage with the
two sister states combined.
The number of acres in Minnesota
devoted to barleysin 1899 was 72,492;
to buckwheat, 6,70O; to corn, 1,441.-
$50; to oats, 2,2o1,3 1925; to rye, 11s, 500,

Acres, 1,441, $50; bushels, 47,256,92O.
Oats were raised in Mower county
to the extent of 4,1ss,3SO bushels from

raised in the entire state in 1899 was
74,054, $50 bushels. The number of
acres cultivated for this crop, 2,2O1,-

| Butter Scorers
Minnesota is again at the top of the
heap in butter honors B. B. White,
of the state dairy and food department,
received a proposition from the COM
mittee in charge of the National Cream
cry Buttermakers' association, to assist
in scoring in the six-months national
butter contest which is TO be held soon.
Prof. T. L. Hacker, of the state school
of agriculture, received a similar prop
osition. If they accept, this state will
have the honor of two members on the
scoring force of this most important
contest.
| When the contest was first suggested
the committee, in estimating the pos
sibility of securing the necessary num-
Der of entries, counted on Minnesota
to furnish one-third of the total num-
Der. Within a week it was plain that
their estimate was none too high. Out
of the first fifty entries this state had
| twenty-four Out of the first 100, Min
nesota had forty one, and now that the
con test is assured, Minnesota has more
than one-third of the total entries.
The contest will be the first of it's
kind ever held, and will bring the but
| termakers of the United States in po-
sition to compete with each other.

SOutherners HOnOred.

I'm my regiment there were certainly as
many men whose fathers had served in
the southern as there were men whose
fathers had served in the northern army.
Among the captains there was opportunity
to promote but one to field rank. The man
who was singled out for this promotion be-
cause of conspicuous gallantry in the field
was the son of a confederate general and
was himself a citizen of this, the Palmetto
state; and no American officer could wish
to march to battle beside more loyal,
gallant and absolutely fearless comrade
than my former captain and major, your
fell citizen, Micah Jenkins.
"a few months ago, owing to the en-
forced absence of the governor of the Phil
ippines, it became necessary to nominate
a vice governor to take his place one of
the more important places in our g'vern-
ment at this time. I nominated az vice
governor an ex-confederate, Gen. Luke
Wright, of Tennessee. 1t is therefore an
eX-confederate who now stands as the ex-
ponent of this government and this people
in that great group Of islands in the eastern
seas over which the American flag floats.
Importance of the West Indies.
"You have made particular effort in
your exhibition to get into touch with the
West Indies This is wise. The events of
the last four years have shown us that the
West Indies and the isthmus in the future
occupy a far larger place in our national
~
the negotiations for the purchase of the
Danish islands, the acquisition of Porto
Rico, the preparation for building an 18TH
milan canal and finally by the changed re-
lations which these years have produced
between us and Cuba. AS nation we have
an especial right to take honest pride in
what we have done for Cuba. Our critics
abroad and at home have insisted that we
never intended to leave the island. But on
the Goth of next month Cuba becomes free
republic, and we turn over to the islanders
the control of their own government. 1t
would be very difficult to find a parallel
in the conduct of any other great state
that has occupied such position as ours
We have kept our word and done our duty
just as an honest individual in private Life
keeps his word and does his duty.
Combinations.
'This Is an era Of great combinations,
both Of labor and capital. In many ways
these combinations have worked for good;
but they must work under the law, and the
laws concerning them must be just and
wise or they will inevitably do evil; and
this applies as much to the richest corpora
ton as to the most powerful labor union.
Our laws must be wise, sane, healthy, con-
ceived in the spirit of those who scorn the
mere agitator, the mere meter Of class or
sectional hatred; who wish justice for all
men; who recognize the need of adhering
so far as possible to the old American doc
trine of giving the widest possible scope
for the free exercise of Individual initiative,
and yet who recognize also that after COM
binations have reached a certain stage 1t
is indispensable to the general welfare that
ahe nation should exercise over them. eau

The Presidents Address,.
The president spoke in part as fol-
lows:
"It is to me peculiar privilege to speak
here in your beautiful city. My mother S
people were from Georgia; but before they
came to Georgia, before the revolution. in
the days of colonial rule, they dwe1t for
nearly century in South Carolina; and
therefore I can claim your state as mine
by inheritance no less than by the stronger
and nobler right which makes each foot
of American soil in sense the property of
all Americans. Charleston is not only a
typical southern city; it is also city whose
, history teens with events which link them
selves to American history as a whole.
A Reunited People.
''When four years ago this nation was
compelled to face foreign foe, the COM
pleteness Of the reunion became instantly
and strikingly evident. The war was not
one which called for the exercise of more
than an insignificant fraction of our
strength, and the strain put upon us was
slight indeed compared with the results.
But it was a satisfactory thing to see the
way in which the sons of the soldier Of the
union and the soldier of the confederacy
leaped eagerly forward, anxious to show
in brotherly rivalry the qualities which had
won renown for their fathers, the men of
the great war. 1t was my good fortune to
serve under an ex-confederate general, gal
