whom the people want.
Thomas w. Lawson has formally given up
his fight on frenzied finance and in the last.
Everybody's makes some startling statements
as to why he gave up the fight. He is especial
Iy disguised with the people of the country tor
failing to respond to his call to destroy the
"systen' and says that in the future he will
~devote himself to making money for
himself, and may the devil take the hindmost

Elsewhere in this issue will be found an
interview with S. Stewart, Oh the b1l1ty
of "Velvet Chaff'' wheat for milling purposes.
This wheat has been sown by some because 1t
bids fair to yield heavier than the ordinary
varieties but if it is deficient in four-maklng
qualities, it is not good wheat to grow The
interests of the farmers and the mllers are
identical in the matter of keeping up the quail
ity of Minnesota flour and there is no advant-
age in growing wheat that the 1nlllers cannot
use. Larger yields are desirable, out much |
can be done to increase the yield of blue stem
by proper attention to crop rotation

The action of Oklahoma in enacting law
to insure state bank deposits has moved Kansas
to emulate the example. The special session
of the legislature at Topeka has taken up the
matter, the house having passed two guaranty
bills for consideration and emasculation by the
senate The attorney general of the state wrote
an oDinion to the effect that "the Legislature has
constitutional power to impose regulations up
on the banking business of the state tor the
purpose of securing depositors, and that tn e I'M
nosition or levy of an assessment as condition
precedent to receiving deposits by such banks
organized under the state law would be legal
and within the power of the Legislature" Pop
ular sentiment in Kansas had reached point
where the legislators had little more to do than
to formulate a law in proper phraseology in Or
der to meet the demand. The operation of the
law in Kansas will have marked influence upon
nublic sentiment in Nebraska and other states.
Already business organizations in the latter
state are clarnoriug for law to insure bank de-
posits. The Commercial club of Lincoln, by
vote of 335 to &c. declared for the innovation.
Much has been said for and against the propo-
sition but down in the Southwest the yeas seem

estate is left to the worthy poor of st. Paul,

Press facetiously says
Few who have not tried it realize how
hard it is to wggle along $4,000 year in
St. Paul. 1t is true that $4,000 year is lot
of money in Minneapolis, and there are even
some of the less pretentious portions OF ST.
Paul where the wolf can be kept from the door
a large part of the year with that sum. But
$4,000 year is only an aggravation on Sum
