Andrew Ryan McGi1l.

The sudden passing of A. r. McGlll
will provoke sincere manifestations OF
grief in every section Of the state he
has served so WELL Tho his term as
governor was brief two years, he has
been a public figure for more than a
generation, and he was a man for whom
the state needed to make no apology.
Governor McGill IS career was limited
because he lacked in aggressiveness. He
was always faithful public servant,
honest and mindful of the peoples in.
terests, and not always appreciated at
his true worth. He was defeated for
denomination in 1888 by the extrava-
giant use of money, in the first notori-
GUS 'sboodle campaign Of the state g
history-unfortunate not the last. 1t
was a bitter experience, and, the de-
feated governor was made to feel the
wrong of corporation control and ma
nipulation of politics. He was not the
sort of man to cry aloud and lead a
popular revolt, but people came after:
ward to learn that in any crisis or on
any issue he was dependable.
Like John Quincy Adams, who re-
turned to public life after term in
the presidency and served with dis
tinguished usefulness in congress, Gov
ernor McGill came back into state af
fairs as a member of the state senate
his eight years. Legislative experience
being ended only by death. The trust
people felt in him was demonstrated
by the fact that at the same time he
was honored with the PostmastershiI
of st. Paul, and held two importan
offices simultaneously.
In the state senate he was Away
found ON: the side Of reform measures
and no local or private interest coult
shake him from what he felt to be TO-
the public good. He. served no mai
and no locality, but the people of tn
state. In his death the entire stat
suffers a genuine loss.

Russian Influence on the Grain
IT,. Market. s5.e h@H

The news Of the change for the, bet
ter in Russia, altho political in primary
import, has an important commercial
bearing upon our country. For a fort
night past there has been much nervous
ness in the grain trade. Prices Of three
cereals, including wheat, have been ris-
ing, Influenced very largely by the Rus
sian news. That great country pro-
duces rye above other grains, and it
is On the eoarser grain that the peas
antry lives. Russia is also an import
ant producer of oats and wheat, and in
an ordinary year grows enough to have
a surplus in both. 1t is not unusual
for Russia to send out 100,000,O0O bush
els Of oats and 150,O0O,OOO or more
bushels Of wheat in a year. Liverpool
and other large importing European
markets turn to Russia for large part
of their requirements. @
This season there has been heavy
crop loss, especially in rye. The fig
ures have appeared frequently. Russia
| has produced at least 100000, 900 bush
els less grain Of all kinds than last
year. The railroad strike and internal
troubles came on, the prospect was FOL
an immediate falling off in Russian ex.
ports. and prices in Minneapolis and
other American markets advanced
quickly. Today the prospect is for q
settlement of the labor troubles and re-
sumption Of activity in transportation
The question then is. whether this
means the end of bullish influence from
Russia-whether the Russian scare has
not spent itself.

the view that it does not. For months

Standard Oil. Defense.

The Standard Oil company is going
into the supreme court of Kansas with
a defense. It will raise the question
whether the company can, be compelled
to produce it's books IN court when those
books might prove the company to have
been a violator Of the law. The COM
pany then would be placed in the posi-
ton of being obliged to testify against
itself. .-..- t.-.. .-...s .
1t was held in the Missouri Doodle
cases that "a nan found with money in
his possession for which he could not
give q satisfactory explanation could
not be compelled to say whether it was
bride money because he might by such
testimony bring about his own prose-
cution. The oil company does not claim
to have any higher standard than the
man found with unaccountable money
in his possession and it does not want
to be prosecuted, 80 it will ask the
supreme court to rule whether it can
be compelled to produce those telltale
books. - N. ~.
It has always been question whether
men could be compelled to testify
against themselves, that is to say tell
the truth whichever way it cut. The
English and American system of law
goes long way toward defeating jus
tice by throwing about the probable
criminal these safeguards against pun
ishment. It as good as says to the
man who holds the evidence Of a wrons

The Forakers Are Indignant.

There is intense indignation among
the Forakers because some Methodist
bishop has disapproved Of the head of

fact that the senator is member Of
the church. The indignation takes a

are not mad because Pa has bsen

standpoints. I have visited saloons per-

to permit liquor sales on Sunday. ,
Gin the course of the Investigations
it was something Of a surprise to- me
to learn that Sunday closing is not only
entirely feasible, but that it has even
become popular in certain communities
where such a reform would seem almost
homogeneous. Some time ago two wide
awake and reliable men from Minnie
apolis were sent by me to st. Louis to
investigate conditions there. AS every
one knows, st. Louis has a very large
alities which hold extremely liberal
ideas in regard to Sunday observance.
Notwithstanding this fact, however, st.
Louis is a closed town on Sunday, as
well as Kansas City and St. Joe, and
the plan is proving popular in many
quarters where one would least suspect
it. Pittsburg, also, has most effective
and satisfactory observance of Sunday
by the saloons, which are all closed
effective, and thruoot the country there
are many cities which are taking the
matter up on the example Of the cities

order shall work an unjust hardship
