THE PRICE OF COTTON.

There is no sense in the farmer
cussing the spectators who make
their living manipulating the cotton
market. The farmer is responsible
for the cotton spectators. No one
supposes for a moment that the
Spectator would follow the cotton
brokerage business if there wasn't
money in it. We have failed 30 far
to find any man following a profess
sion that required nerve. hard work
and money to run it simply for his
health.
After many years with his nose to
the grindstone, the farmer is at last
free to do as he pleases with his cot
ton. Strange enough, too, it is
through no effort Of his that this
condition has come about. Had it
been left TO the farmer alone We fear
that many years would have elapsed
before he could say to the mills:
Eyes, | have got cotton, plenty OF it,
but you cannot have ii unless you
pay me what | think it is worth
The present organization Of cotton
growers was not brought about by
the farmers themselves, but the Cot
ton Bulls, who know that il they can
get the farmers organized, they can
command almost any price for the
cotton they get hold of early in the
game, as will always be the case.
However, farmers should not b.
foolish. They should be willing te
accept a fair price for the commodi
ty. If they do not, they are as much
spectators as the meanest Bull Of
Bear" on Wall Street. Every one
recognizes the fact that ten cents i.
a good price for cotton. FifteeI
cents is as much out Of reason a.
is five cents, and as long as fifty dol
lars a bale can be realized for cottor
our advice is to sell. We do moi
care what the Southern Cottor
Growers Association says, ten cents
is a good price and the farmer who
can dispose Of his crop at that figure
should consider himself lucky, ever
if it does go higher. Laurel Ledger

NO TROUBLE HERE.

ga GREAT deal of concern seems to prevail
Uncertain quarters as to the effect of the dis
solution of the political union between Nor
wav and Sweden upon the political relations Of
the Swedes and Norwegians in the northwest.
Attention was called not long ago to the dis
lcoverv bv New York paper that the differ
lence between the Swedes and Norwegians at
home was roducing rupture OF social and
commercial relations between their kin in this
part of the country. The Boston Transcript
usually we'll informed, has somehow or other
been led to believe that here in Minnesota the
Swedes and Norwegians are at outs and that
the unfriendly feelings which have exhibited
themselves to greater or less extent between
the Swedes and Norwegians in Europe have
been intensified in America. We told that
no Norwegian may hereafter expect the favor
| of any Swede at the polls and that Swede
may rely upon any better treatment at the
| hands of the Norwegians in Minnesota, while
other than political relations are severely
strained.
Boston is about far enough away to get
| a twisted notion of this kind" says
the Minneapolis Journal. "While undoubtedly
the Swedes in America syrnpathize with their
home people and the Norwegians with Norway,
| here at home we have evidence that this
feeling of sympathy has created any personal
| or neighborhood antagonism. The people OF
Scandinavian origin in the northwest, so far as
we have been able to observe, look upon the
political DEVELOPMENTS in Scandinavia with
deep interest, but without allowing ourselves
to be influenced thereby in their political or
other obligations They are American citizens,
interested only, so far politics is concerned,
in the affairs of this country. To project the
controversies and aninosites of the Scandin-
avian separation into social or business polit-
| ical relations in this country would do no good
| so far as settling the Scand navian dispute is
concerned. but might work serious harm here
at home. Nor is there any evidence that this
| is done to noticeable extent"

TIE JAPANESE HOLD THE TRUMPs.

/ Minneapolis Journal Matsumato, mem
Der of the Parliament of Japan and financial
commissioner of the government, quoted IN g
Especial to The Journal today, may or may not be
authorized to speak for the Japanese peace com
mission but what he says with regard to the
demands of Japan is not only probable but ex-
ceedingly interesting.
| The point of particular interest is the clear
ness with which he points out the fact that Jap
an in these negotiations, holds advantage over
the Russians, and is in position to dictate terms
if she desires. The failure of Komura to bring
his credentials with him to the meeting yester-
day may have been accidental but shrewd Oh
lservers suspect that the failure to bring them
was intentional and for the purpose of seeing
the Russian credentials before presenting his
own. In any event, the Japanese are not likely
to loose auy points in this game, and the retort
cede saghailian island in it's entirety, or if they
refuse to pay the idennity of not less than
100000 900, the fact would be cabled to Field
Marshal Oyan1a and he will order an advance
on Linevitch at once, shows how completely
the Japanese are masters of the situation, for
no one doubts Oyana's ability to crush Line
witch whenever he desires to do so.
Commissioner Witte has what is, perhaps,
the most undesirable job that could be picked
out anywhere just at the present time. He is
expected to save his cOuntrys honor and yet
make terms of peace which will be satisfactory
10 the laps. If he can do both, he will have
earned not only the gratitude of his country
men, but the admiration of the world. The
danger is that he may not be able to do neither
Witte is unpopular at home with the car and
the dominant war party. 1t is suspected that
he selected for this difficult, if not impossi
BILE, task partly with view to loading him up
with something that he could not do and thus
discredit him at home, altho the terms which
he makes may be accepted.
S
AS we read of the yellow fever in the South,
and the floods and crop failures in other par is
of the country, are impressed with the fact
that there is better place to live than right
Eere in Minnesota. The only trouble with
Mienesota, or at least with this portion of the
state, is that too much of the land is lying idle,
or is made to produce only small portion of
it's capacity on account of being owned by non
residents If all the the vacant land in the
county could be used. and every quarter section
had family it, the value of land would be
greatly increased here, and the villages of the
county would grow in size and prosperity ac-
cordingly. Every person who is interested in
the welfare Of this county should try to induce
/ his friends to come here. They will find no
better place.

Iowa and the Tariff.

Secretary Shaw has written a letter to
Gov. Cummins which should lay the
foundation for little joint debate on
reciprocity. Let us hope that in his reply
Gov Cummins may not only give his cor
respondent the information he seeks, but
something more. and thus lead on to a
further exchange between them. The one
man stands for tariff revision on protec-
ton lines. and the other for standpatism.
Both have the ear of the country, and both
figure in the speculation about the next
republican nomination for President Both
are from the same state. and they esteem
each other on personal grounds Why not,
then. a discussion pitched in the key of
good nature. but going to the root of the
matter. and for the purpose of helping
to crystalline public sentiment on a subject
which Congress is SO soon 10 consider?

based upon his own strength, or the
strength of any issue upon which his party
was then standing. but upon the personal
warfare waged on Mr.. Blaine. The tariff
issue. to use a colloquialism, cut no ice In
the campaign of 1884 at all.
In 1888, although Mr.. Watterson at the
ST. Louis convention defeated Mr.. Cleve-
lands effort to run away from the tariff
issue. and almost single-handed forced the
usual low tariff plank into the platform.
the republicans won at the polls. Among
the democratic voters Mr.. Cleveland's per-
sonal unpopularity overshadowed the tariff
completely.
The Homestead riots, and not the tariff,
turned the tide to Mr.. Cleveland in 1892.
Mr.. Watterson may be willing to concede
as much. Has he not in years past already
done so? Mr.. Cleveland had at that time
come to be known as a straddler on the tar
If issue, and in straight fight for that Is
sue would not have been selected as his
party's leader. Mr.. Watterson would HIM
self have had far stronger claims to recog-
milton.
Where then is the election which the
democracy has won on the proposition to
send 1.-The protective tariff to keep COM
pany with the institution of African slav-
ery?" 1t is not of record. And how. after
the fiasco in Congress of the effort to re-
wise the tariff partly in keeping with the
party promises could the democracy hope
for serious attention now should 1t again
appeal for power as the advocate of what
in America is called free trade? Mr.. Wat
terson. as usual has raised an interesting
question. but one which shows as plainly
any other the weakness and division of
