1899. The company has headquarters in

The first car of new-crop Minnesota

The first car Of new-crop Minnesota
barley sold in the Minneapolis market
was, taken by Ely Bernays, the New
York exporter, who is now in Mime
apolis. It came from Mortified to the
Calumet Elevator company, graded No.
4, and sold for 4lc. The presence on
'change here Of Mr.. Bernays, and his
purchase Of the first Of the new stuff to
move, occasioned some comment as to
the probability of big export trade
this year. Much will depend upon the
competition of Russia, but if an export
price basis can be reached that will
permit American exporters to compete,
a large business will follow, with Min
neapolis as point of origin.
Z Mr.. Bernays is the first Of the large
seaboard buyers to turn permanently to
Minneapolis, but, with the northward
and westward shifting Of the center Of
production, necessity will compel the
New York export houses to come into
closer touch. Mr.. Bernays is inclined to
the view that a position of predomi-
nance il. primary affairs, in barley, is

The edition of the annual number of the International-Americain has al most been exhausted. This paper has a wonderful sale from the minute the first one is taken from the press. The demand for it evidences the fact that those who live in Douglas are proud of the fact and are anxious to make known it's beauties and advantages to friends living in the eastern and northern states. Besides the large regular edition, fifteen hundred extra copies were printed. and practically all of these have been sold and mailed. They have been taken in lots Of twos, flves, tens and tWenties. Only a few copies remain. The paper will result in giving to Douglas much additional prominence and will do a vast amount of good in making known our mag nilicent resources and unexcelled ad- vantages.

tain control of Congress and maintain the system by which this money, used in debauching the electorate, is se- -ured.
 As we have already remarked, the care which the president has exer- cised to "save his distance" in dis cussing the question of political con tributions by corporations shows quite clearly that there is no burning de- sire on his part to have anything to sur that will seriously interfere with he existence of the present system and arrangement, hence there is lit He reason to hope that any low win be passed by Congress that .I p.~- vent corporations filling - 1.ore. chest in every national campaign. This would be tantamount to cutting of the party's life current,~and therefore is not to be thought of for a moment In our judgment the evil will continue and elections will be debauched just as they have been in the past until the American people strike down the system of tariff bounties with which the corporations are bribed into fur nishing the Republican party with its enormous poodle funds; With the passing of the tariff bounties will go the political and financial arrangement now existing between the corporations and the Republican organization.

This has been a great year for the railways. The Interstate Commerce Commissions report shows that the roads in 1905 have earned over $2,000,- 100000. The average earned per mile was S9666, which is s3G0 more per mile than in the preceding year, while the cost of operation increased only S143 per mile. Dividends for the year have increased nearly 12,000,G00. The railroads are iE fine shape. and the fair. reasonable regulation of rates will not hurt them.

ANOTHER JEROME.

The state of Massachusetts has an excise law forbidding the sale of liquor in any building within four hundred feet of a school house. The county of Suffolk, in which is the city of Boston, has a district attorney named Moran who busies himself enforcing that law to the limit MT. Moran rep resents the unexpected in politics, as he does the unapprehended in office. He ran an independent campaign last fall, opposed by all organizations and opposed or ignored by all newspapers. His victory was decisiye-and aston ishing. Now, he is doing what no one suspected or feared he would do, that is, applying literally the provis- ions of the excise law. Consequently three of the largest hotels in Boston have been forced to surrender their liquor selling privileges and thous- ands of patrons who like wine, beer, cocktails or highballs with their meals are compelled to go elsewhere or go thirsty. Massachusetts can amend its excise law so that the obligation to guard the neighborhOod of school houses shall not be so construed as to interfere with the liberty of grown up citizens Maybe MT. Moran wants to hasten the repeal or amending of the law by making it unpopular. If so, he is losing no time and wasting no nergy.

JAPAN AND
 MANCHURIA.

China and Japan have reached an agreement about Manchuria wllich will be of interest to the world Japan
 evacuates that portion of the province
 occupied by her armies ir eighteen
 months. Along that part of he ;ail-
 road which she has acquired from
 Russia. however. she will be allowed
 to have military garrisons. By the
 treaty of Portsmouth she gets a good
 deal of Russia's railway, under lease
 from China. Japan will not corstcuct
 any branch lines of railway
 On the face of tho returns China
 will have little more control of Chi nese territory under the Japanes reg ime tran it had, or ever would have secured, under Russian admi:istra- tion. In reality, however. there will be but little Chinese sway in Ja?an's end of the Chinese empire. Mancau- ria will be evacuated by both Russia and Japan. except as Japan's military gaTrisons will be distributei along the railway which Japan acquires. Jap anese influence will te powerful at Pekin. We have seen recently hog Korea was abolished by Japan as q of the war The same war will make Japanese influence DO tent all over China, although the big empire. unlike it's Korean neighbo-, Bill remain on tho map.
 The Russo-Japanese war has done a good deal of legislating, as all wars between great powers do. Many things will take place as a consequence of the war which are not mentioned in the text of the treaty of Portsmouth. By the Angio-Japanese compact. which itself was one of the results of the Portsmouth convention. Japan is giv- CD a practically free hand not only in Korea, but in Manchuria. That province is, in theory. to be handed back to China, from which R'ssia flched it. In reality, the dominant power in it will be Japan from this time onward. In the new China which is being established Japanese instruc- tors, political, educational and mill tary, are at the front. The real ruler of the Celestial empire will be the Mikado, and not the particular i,er- sonage who chances to bear the title of Chinese monarch. A Pebin mani festo, when the changes under way are completed. will not be valid until it receives the O. K of Tokio.

BRYAN THE LEADER.


 The steadfnst man in politics is the strong man in the end If he stands for right principles. Such a man mus, have consciene and courage, too. Out of these and they are few. are chos- en those who go down in history as great men.
 Nearly ten years ago there arose on the wave of political upheaval man who has stood ever since fer the avowed principles in which that moment had it's rise. The voice of the people was suppressed at the time and defeated by every unho.y device within the grasp of the ,llegitinlate- , E -begotten trusts of the coantry. Ali that were for sale were bought in the elections. Those who were vulnerable were intimidated. Some who could neither be bought nor intiniida.ec were trampled under foot. Fraud. force and bribery defeate1 the will of the people and brazen aud con scienceIess band of conspiratOrs paid their political debts to robber corpor- ations with special privileges at the hands ofNa government which had been delivered into their hands The defeated common people were given taste of the flesh pots" and for years it seemed that the old American spirit of independence had been com pletely crushed out of the masses.
 But the revival has set in. Every where is observed the renewed spirit that awakened conscience is manifest ing. Wherever an election is held it speaks and is understood. It speaks so plainly that there is no need for interpretation. The sowing of fiesh' by the mOney-hungry party of Nam nor has brought forth the corruption at is the harvest of today. being gathered in every high place and ill., fostered industry. The crop stinks :o lhe sky. tha; al. may smell and be- come sick save those who feed upon he carrion.
 The people are arousing and there IS no uncertainty about the blow that is 70 fall on the heads e the guilty.
 fhere is no hurry. There is no fev- er:sh haste in the movement. The people are gathering together in their thought and concentrating their strength in council By and by they will strike In these days of he re- turn of the people to first principles there is no discussion of who the ! leader shall be- There lever has been l but one leader. H. was true in de- ! feat, and yet again wa3 talCnful in defeat; and again he llOne marched on when there were noce who seemed to follow. But the yccple have re- turned to first Drinairle.' The leader has been there ever since the last battles They are returning to the standard of Bryan, md he will lead them agalnst those who have betrayed the land and sold :ie heritages of the people. The logic Of time and condi- tions agree and retrlbution when # comes will come swiftly.
 Some of the things which Mir Bryan and his platforms have always stood for are what MT. Roosevelt is trying J to induce his party to legislate into law, namely: the regulation of cor porations by the government, public ity," tariff reform, etc. But his party is not so inclined. For forty years it has fostered the monsters that the president now urges it to strangle.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Deportation as a Remedy.
e Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
While the import MILL continues to
grind with an ever increasing grist of the
pauper and criminal classes from for
eign countries to our shores, would 1t
not be good idea to have Congress to
lift the flood gates. and set in notion
by enactment of law, the wheels and
machinery of a deport mill
Let Congress set apart two or more
of the Philippine islands for penal colo
MES, and then give the states the right
to Danish for life to these islands ali
persons guilty of certain crimes.
If a law of this kind should be enacted,
and to my mind there is no sane reason
why 1t should not be, then crime in
this country would perceptibly decrease
until it would reach very low level
for a maximum, whereas. now. it is in
creaslng at an alarming ratio.
Peruse any newspaper you will, no
matter from what section Of the eoun-
try it comes, and you will find it sets
forth In its columns a startling array of
brutal murders, rapes, arsons. burglares
and broad-open, daylight hod-ups with
robbery from the person.
But, you say, we already have laws
to punish for the crimes above enumer-
ated You might also add that the
country maintains at an enormous ex-
pense a large constabulary and police
force for the arrest and conviction of
parties who commit such crimes. But,
when arrested and properly arraigned,
