Up to the hour of going to press, the result of Tuesday's conflict in a number of States is still unknown, but enough is known to make Blaine's "calling and election" pretty sure.— The pivitol States have been heard from and they are Republican.— New York is reported for Blaine by a majority of 3,000 to 5,000, while 011 the subject of the flax in dustry, together with the report of the Tow-mill Convention held at Wortli ington, have excited a wide interest. Copies of the ADVANCE, with articles marked, hive been sent to the Uniten States Consuls who are collect ing facts as to flax culture in this coun try, with reference to aiding linen and flax mills desiring to make the transfer from Europe to America. The flax industry has now assumed such importance as to demand the at tention of our farmers and business men in some intelligent and organized way. The articles heretofore published in our columns show that of the 8,000, 000 to 9,000,000 bushels of seed grown in the United States this year, _«!- ^-*«rsT. VOL. XIII. about one-half of the whole yield was grown in Minnesota and Dakota that the great bulk of the Minnesota yield, say three fourths, .vas produced in the eight or ten counties in the Southwestern cor ner of the State and that the heaviest flax-producing counties are Rosk, Cot tonwood and Nobles. Although the flax industry in Ameri ca is just fairly begun, it is claimed, as shown in our report of the Tow-mill Convention, that the farmers annually lose forty millions of dollars by not having a market for the btraw. Mills, however, for using the fibre are begin ning to multiply, there being 15 to 20 in the district represented by the Con vention, and with mills sufficient to utilize the straw, the flax crop will be come one of the most profitable which farmers can grov/. This will be espec ially so should the proposed establish ment of linen mills in the west be real ized and farmers be induced to grow the best grades of fibre. It was shown at the Convention held in Wortliing ton that by securing the best seed and adopting the best methods of culture the straw product can be raised to two and two and a half tons an acre and sold at $10 and $12 a ton. Add to this an average of eight to fifteen bushels of seed to the acre sold at $1.00 to $1.20 a bushel, and it will be seen that flax can be made a most profitable crop. Flax is selling at $1.13 to $115 in the Wortliington market. The receipts average about 1,000 bushels a day.— Wortliington Advance. It is the Burlington road that makes »t a better market.—-Currie Minneso tian. V""*" ',1 T,'T .~YV 33?- TI1K PROHIBITION 8 AINTS. The Prohibitionists made a very act ive campaign in this county this fall, and bore off the blue ribbon for mis representation and wire-pulling. We must say for the Democrats and Butler men, as well as -the Republicans, that they conducted their campaigns with out the customary amount of mud slinging and "campaign lies." But the holy Prohibitionists, who are cheek by jowl with the Lord as they think, and entirely above ordinary, worldly, polit ical methods, made up for any lack of such methods on the part of the other parties. On Monday last they issued an extra edition of the Record abounding in prohibition pabulum and misrepresent ation. It was updoubtedly issued by Messrs. Day and Thompson, of the No bles County Bank, and the object was to influence voters against D. Shell and in favor of P. Thompson for County Commissioner,- Iit-Mris sheet they say: While on the contrary Shell has al ways been the champion of whisky and bitterly opposed to any form of temper ance or prohibition and has been ac.ac tive agent in legalizing in this county 11 hell holes for the sum of 25 dollars each—and still has the effrontery to ask temperance Republicans to reelect him~that he may license still more. Now, what are the facts. Let us see how these Christian Prohibitionists who are so holy that they often hold political meetings on Sunday tell the truth. There are but two so-called "hell holes" in the county legalized by the board and Shell opposed the licenses granted in both cases. In its report of the Republican Rep resentative Convention, this Prohibi tion sheet says: Mr. Nelson, of Adrian, then wished to know if they were to understand that Mr. Peterson, if elected, would fa vor the Prohibitionists upon which Mr. A. P. Miller, of Worthington, then proceeded to explain the duties of the Republican Representative as follows: That if a bili to grant a vote upon a State Prohibitory amendment should be introduced, as there probably would be, then the candidate here nominated should not vote in its favor until he knew that the majority of the Republi can voters of the State should desire to vote upon it. Then Mr. Nelson con tended that as the Prohibition party is a separate party, the Republican nomi nee should no more favor a Prohibition measure than he would a Democratic measure. The facts were these: In our remarks we took the position squarely that if a representative were satisfied that a ma jority of the people of the State desired to vote on a Prohibitory amendment, we believed it would be his duty to vote in favor of submitting it. Mr. Nelson took issue with this, and said that as the Prohibition party was a separate party, such an amendment ought not to be submitted until the Prohibition ist? elected a Legislature of their own and upon that issue. This sheet says further: As to the Republican party's claims upon the temperance people of this district, just allow me to refer you to the Republican District Convention, and if you find in those speeches even a spark of teni|erance consolation to lean upon, you must see clearly indeed, but to an ordinary observer there is simply whisky first, whisky second, and whis ky clear through. Absolutely, there was not a drop of whisky talk in the Convention and we do not believe there was a drop inside of any delegate. Capt. Aldrich, the Chairman of the Convention, spoke de cidedly in favor of temperance and said that if our representative knew that the people of his district desired him to vote to submit a prohibitory amend ment, it would be his duty to vote in favor of submission. The reason for introducing the subject in the Conven tion was clearly stated, viz: That the Prohibitionists were organized as a sep arate party and had openly declared hostility to the Republican party, and the Convention desired to know how Mr. Peterson stood upon the question before it proceeded to nominate him. The sheet further says: Finally before giving Mr. Peterson the nomination it appeared that press ure was brought to bear upon him and he made a pledge or promise that he would do nothing contrary to the liq uor interest while in the legislature. This we know to be absolutely false. This was the big "lie" of their cam paign and was industriously worked. We were present at the conference in the jury room and we heard Mr. Peter son's remarks there and in the Conven tion after he was nominated. No such pledge was ever made. The only pledge Mr. Peterson made was in open Can vention when he said that he "was a Republican and should vote and act with the Republicans." This article is not gotten up for "cam paign effect" for the campaign is over. It is published to put matters right on ths record and to show what adepts in unfair methods these holy, saintly, Christian temperance politicians are. A PROMINENT PROHIBITIONIST. The Slayton Gazette says of Alfred Terry, a leading prohibition stumper: Mr. Terry further told his hearers that the editor of the Gazette and S. O. Morse kept Mr. Peterson boxed up in order that he might not create an unfa vorable impression, and that both were liars. Now, if said Terry had never resided in Nobles County we might de fend ourselves against his charges, but inasmuch as he is known to be an un qualified liar, we liavs nothing more to say. THINKS IT A STEAL. We have talked with a number of cit izens of St. James who subscribed to the Southwestern Minnesota Home As sociation fund, and all, in speaking of the money being invested in the "Min nesota Home." characterize the trans action as a clear case of "steal." Not one gave his consent to transferring his subscription to the "Home."- St. James Journal. It is only just to Mr. Day to say that he circulated a paper here securing the consent of most of the subscribers on the original plan to a transfer of the amounts to the Home company.

We do not know that we have seen all the Newspaper Directories that have been published, but we are free to say that the above work is altogether the finest and completest woik of the kind that has ever come under our notice. Besides the list of all the newspapers and periodicals in the United States and Canada, it is a perfect mint of just such statistics as editors, business men and professional men want. Typo graphically it is beautiful and the il luminated card which serves as front ispiece is a specimeu of printing worth framing and preserving. Besides giving all needed information about the newspapers and periodicals of the continent, it gives the Location, County-seat, and population of every county iu the Uuited States. From it you can learn tiie character of the surface, the nature of the soil, and its adaptability to the growth of the various agricultural staples, of ev ery State, territory, and county in the United States, and of each of the Can adian Provinces. In it is given the population of every State, Territory, county and county seat of all the large cities and towns, and of almost every place in which a newspaper is published also the color ed population, by counties, in the southern and southwestern States, and the Chinese population on the Pacific slope. It also giyes the political majority of every State, Territory and county, and the number of votes polled by the Green back party at the Presidential election of 1880. It tells how many counties there are in each State in how many of these newspapers are published in what towns of a State papers exist, and which of them are county-seats It has a list of the cities, towns and villages of the United States having a population of five thousand and up ward, arranged in alphabetical order It is unequaled for fullness, correct ness, compactness of statement, variety and value of contents, and freedom frotn favoritism or prejudice. Price $3.00. carriage paid. Philadelphia, Pa. TA It IFF~ANDTHE VAR MRRS. The Windoui Reporter says: In 1S73 an oil mill was erected at" Des Moines, and 1 aimers began to raise flax seed largely. A mill was soon errct ed to utilize the straw, and the mill paid the farmers $6 a ton for straw. Congress lepealed the tariff on jute butts, letting them come from Europe free of duty. The result is told by a Des Moines correspondent Jute butts could be delivered in New York and Philadelphia for less than $2 a ton, vessels bringing them as ballast. Of course, the flax mill here could not compete with such a price for raw ma terial, nay $0 a ton and send its goods to Eastern markets. It was therefore compelled to close up, with a loss of nearly $100 000. Subsequently the tar iff 011 jute butts was restored, and the rate fixed at a ton but capitalists are unwilling to invest money under the present complexion of Congress With assurance of stability iu the pres ent tariff, this industry would soon be revived in the prairie states. Capital is always timid, and fears nothing as much as unfriendly legislation. Here, then, is a practical illustration of the result of free-trade doctrine applied to agricultural interests. If anybody questions this statement, if lie will come here lie can see the mill which is now used for making linseed oil, after standing unoccupied several years. PR Oil IB TION LIA RS. We have said elsewhere that the Pro hibitionists in this county, nea^y ev ery one of whom is a praying church member, have conducted a campaign of misrepresentation and mud-slinging. The Slayton Gazette of last week says of them in that county: If noise, lying, slandering and hypoc risy were the essentials of success, the Prohibitionists would elect their Rep resentative by a large majority. It is very unfortunate, and we regret it deep ly, that a good and honest man like Mr. McAllistei should find it necessary to have his campaign managed by a set of professional liars. The way the "God and morality" party abuse opponents, and lie about them, is simply scandalous. Religion and politics don't mix well. No true Christian will vote for McAllister, not because of the man, but on acconnt of the despicable tricks the leaders of the Murray County S. S. association reaoit to to make a vote for him. One of the speakers from this town said at a Prohibition meeting at Wor thington, that Peterson would only get a few votes in this county. He is either a liar or a fool who would make such an assertion. People are only too willing to judge men by the companv they keep, and in asmuch as McAllister has permitted himself to become the tool of schemers, liars, shysters and democrats, it is to be hoped that every honest man will cast his vote against him. There is no doubt about two points in the above items:(l) that the Prohibition ists lied a great deal during the cam paign (2) that they are endeavoring to turn the churches, the Sunday schools etc. into political aids to build up party to kill the Republican party.

The Owatonna Journal having said it was poor consolation to tell Minne sota farmers about the low. price of wheat sew here the Windom Reporter makes this tellng reply: Perhaps it would be "better consola tion" to the Journal to tell it that in Southwestern Minnesota, flax yielded 15 to 25 bushels pec acre/and is worth from $1.10 to $1.20 per. bushel, and dairy products 25 U^80:cents a pound with so little wheat in the country that the price cuts 110 figure. Corn 50 bush els and oats 70 per acre, and all wiil be fed to the stock of the Southwest. The flax crop alone is worth $i,500,000 to the few Southwestern counties. Is this "consolatiou" sufficient to arrest one poor wheat unfortunate, "wheat-bent" for Dakota? Bro.

Marvelous Story A TWA IN TWO terms. FROM THE SON: Gentlemen: Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Six months ago I was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever 1 moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used It regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and 1 feel perfectly well In every respect—being now able to do a good day's vork, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure In my ease, and tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER'S SABSAFARILLA.
