Minnesota is doing herself proud in

says: Minnesota received the high

berries, Nemaha, London and Colum-
bian, representing black, red and pur-
pie raspberries. Exhibitors are Wv
man Elliott, Excelsior, and the Jewell
Nursery company of Lake City, each
sending ninety-two quarts. Judges
pronounced them as superb and in
better condition than any other state
exhibit, not excepting Missouri's.
The berries were sent with bulls on,
thus preventing scrushing which ruins

Clipped from the stem instead 81

A man suffering from alcoholism
died at the St.Paul depot the other day
while in charge of the sheriff who was
taking him to jail. The sheriff sup
posed that the man was simply drunk
while as matter of fact he was dying
of acute alcoholism and was dead be-
fore the sheriff could get him out of
the depot. The man should have
been committed to hospital instead
of jail, and been given proper at
tention. Society gets revenue enough
from the sale of liquor to make such
provisions for the unfortunate who
don't know enough to keep sober and
be men.

The cars minister of the interior.
M. VonPlehve, was assassinated last
Thursday while riding in his carriage
en- route to the depot in st. Peters
burg where he was to take the train
for the czar's summer residence to
make his weekly report on matters of
state. A bomb was thrown at the
carriage and the missile exploded with
terrific force, mangling the minister
in a horrible manner and killing his
coachman. It is said that the assas-
sination was to avenge the atrocities
of the Kisheniff massacre while other
reports say that the deed was the
work of a Finlander. Be that as il
may the person who committed the act
was but expressing the revolutionary
and nihilistic sentiment that has sent
many Russian officials the same route
as Won Plehve went. It is asserted
that there is wide spread revolution
airy plot on foot in the empire. the
most formidable since the assassina-
tion of Alexander II and the blacklist
includes the governors of Russian
provinces and also the car. The
Russian minister was the power be-
hind the throne and was at the head
of the secret service Of the police de-
partment. In his official position he
has been charged with long list of
crimes against humanity while acting
in the ''best interests'' of the empire.
There is no question but what Won
Plehve was a good man for his posi-
ton from the standpoint of an
autocrat and agent of the tyranny of
empire. Humanity is pretty much the
same the world over and agents of a
government that will persist in curb
ing the liberties of mankind must nav
the penalty. A government of oppres-
sion produces revolution and nihilism.
AS it sOWs SO shall it reap.

Montana places the wool production
for the state close to 30,000,000
pounds, and the amount paid APP
proximately SIS, 100000. The 1904 clip
of wool was the best ever grown in the
state. The clip in northern Montana

Rust is making very serious inroads
on the wheat crop of the northwes
that but week or so ago was in mos,
cases very promising. In Otter Tai
county and other parts OF northern
Minnesota the damage will be quite
serious to the crop while South Da.
kota and portions of the North Da
kota crop will be seriously affected
81. V. Jones says:
It is enough to say now that
South Dakota, outside of rust
: damage, has only a moderate crop,
of wheat, the smallest for many
years, and Minnesota would not
have increased more than South
Dakota lost. North Dakota alone f.
has extra prospect, and any gain
in the northwest yield over last
year would have come from that
state. The government suggestion
July OF 100000 bushels for
South Dakota, was fully 100000
bushels higher than the conditions
then warranted.
The wheat crop of the United
States will not be much, if any, in
excess Of $50, 100000 bushels, or
1O7, 900, 900 bushels less than the
crop result last year on the gov
eminent basis.'
It is said that outside of the Rec
River Valley. North Dakota will have
the largest crop in its history if thu
frosts do not catch the crop.

DULUTH's CROP YEAR.
Grain Receipts 100000 Bushels Less
Than Year Ago.


The crop year Of the Duluth board
OF trade closed with yesterday. It
extends from August 1 to July 81 of
the year following, that being the time
in which the crop is supposed to find
its way to market.
During the year just closed the re-
ceipts atzDnluth ran little more than
sixty millions of bushels and were
nearly six millions less than the year
previous.
Wheat fell nearly eight millions of
bushels below what they were in the
previous crop year. Flax was ex-
pected to be lower but ran within
about 100000 less than the YEAR
previous.
Oats and barley made fine increases
but not enough to Offset the losses in
the other grains. This market is ex-
pected to handle considerably
greater quantity of oats and barley in
the crop year which opens to-day than
it did in the one just closed.-DuIuth

Newspaper Support of Candidates.

Amateur candidates for political
Office worry far TOO much over the sup.
port or opposition of newspapers.
Some of their friends are unsophisti-
Gated enough to go about before
launching candidate and ask pub.
fishers what their attitude is going
to be. These gentlemen do not mean
to be impertinent, and ought to be
treated politely. To tell them it is
none of their business is gratuitous
information. RI ~-.. -.S
One of many popular delusions
about newspapers is that they can
make or mar the fortunes of candi-
dates for Office. Political amateurs
are always saying that this or that
ideal candidate could be elected SO
easily, if all the newspapers would
only forget their private feuds and
unite in urging the people to vote for
him. This is contrary to nearly all
experience. Nothing is more common
than to see an ideal candidate de-
feated in spite of almost unanimous
newspaper support, and a popular
and industrious candidate of all the
forces amateur politicians think un-
worthy elected in spite Of their almost
unanimous opposition. This happens
nearly every time the reformers put up
candidate in New York or Chicago,
unless the rogues have been looting
too openly.
Some newspapers cultivate the fc-
ton Of their powerful political in
fuence as they cultivate fctions about
their circulation and the value of
their advertising. One of our amiable
neighbors spreads a peacock tail of
nicely assorted write-up space before
candidates on the theory that it is the
only genuine seventh daughter of a
seventh daughter, who can foretell the
future and guarantee success. But
really the history of the Evening
Journals political success and fail
ures does not encourage others to
initiate its pretensions; especially
papers that. like The Tribune, can
not see their way clear to seek conso-
lation for political defeat in revenue
from political advertising.
What the public wants from newspa-
pers is truthful and impartial inform
alton about candidates for Office. It
wants little advice and will have no
dictation. The enthusiastic support
of all the newspapers rather prejudices
candidate than helps him. The
public has the notion that it is compe-
tent to make up it's own mind. Per-
haps it is self-deceived and would be
better served if it would let us make
its mind for it; but we do not know
how to cure the universal illusion.
The successful candidates for office
are those who humor the people bv
trying to reach and convince them
directly, instead of expecting the news
papers to do it for them.

Dunn, was without a gross earnings
plank, and it's author admitted, when
questioned by the former State auditor
regarding the omission, that the mat
ter simply had been overlooked. Mr..
Dunn's declaration, therefore, has the
effect of putting new plank into the
Republican State platform.
Robert G. Dunn is no demagogue.
He does not indulge in the sort OF
trust discussion that is described by
John Lind as call wind.'' He has
always held that corporations should
pay their fair share of the taxes, Just
as individuals should be taxed in lust
proportions, according to their hold
ings. His ''policy" has always been
to urge absolute tax equality. He
has not advocated mulcting corpora.
tons. He has merely insisted upon
the States receiving it's just dues from
them, as it should from every individ.
ual citizen within it's borders.
Mr.. Dunn, while State auditor, ad.
vocated the four per cent gross earn.
lngs tax in season and out of season.
He was at the head and front Of the
influence that was successful, in 1901,
IN getting the legislature to submit ii
to vote of the people in the form of a
constitutional amendment. This was
done in 1902, and the amendment
failed of adoption, not because of op-
position, but because there was not
cast in its favor the requisite number
OF votes. In 1908, the legislature was
unanimous in it's decision to re-sub-
NIT the amendment.
Mr.. Dunn has declared his purpose
of presenting it's merits to the people
OF Minnesota as the special feature OF
every speech he will make this cam
paign. The voters, at the coming
general election, therefore, will find
themselves made more familiar with
the tax proposition that has for many
sessions, been the most generally dis
cussed measure before the legislature.
In taking this step, Mr.. Dunn is
only following consistently in the path
long ago marked out by himself, and
is acting in accordance, as he firmly
believes, with the wishes of the people
Of Minnesota, even though those
wishes were Inadvertently overlooked
in the framing of the Republican State
platform, by declared anti-merger'
man.=Duluth NeWs-Trihune.
