Next in importance 10 the mink comes the
muskrGt. 1t Is found very pleniifully in sll the
lakes throughout the entire State, aud large
quantities Of the fuTs are shipped from ST. Paul
for the European markets The skins are worth
about twenty-five cents each, and are easily
converted into good warm gloves, which find
ready market among the poorer classes Of our
population. Bear skins which are becoming
rather scarce now, are brought in by the Chip
pewAs generally, and inl a ready market at
fifteen dollars each. Wolf and raccoon skins,
which are used principally in the manufacture
Of robes, are plentiful this year The wolf skin
Is worth about four dollars and the raccoon
about one dollar. Fox skins are gathered tor

The Coal QUESTION N ENGLAND.-The
Pal Mall Gazette has settled the question.
The prosperity, the business. the very exis-
tence Of England depends upon coal. 1t
makes our fires, heats our furnaces, gives
light and water TO our towns. drives our
manufactures and steamers. Without coal
England would lose trade. manufactures and
three-iourths Of her population. 1t will not
pay TO bring coal from the great fields Of
America. Ii would be better to 90 to the
coal. Well, Sir, at the actual rate Of using
coal in England and the annual increase, the
entire stock within / 900 feet Of the surface
will last seventy years-the child is born
who will see 1t exhausted. OF course. as
the stock diminishes, and the difficulty OF
getting it increases, the price will rise, and
the consumption gradually diminish, so that
there Will be a gradual decline, instead OF a
sudden destruction, and If no substitute
can be found for coal. this decline of British
industry, wealth and power Will begin IN
about fifty years. and in fifty more you may
write Britannia fuif on the ruins of St.
P4uls. broken arch Of London Bridge, or
any convenient place for such an inscription.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
w EST AND SOU TIL
P{ BlISHED WEEKLY At
CEYE sSM s'E's s.gEHN
GEIGaEMAVs, ssEEEO.

THITIS Journal, as its title indicates, will be de-
voted especially to defining, protecting and
defending the political, social and financial i'll
icrests of these two most powerful Democratic see
tons.
Believing that both alike arc deeply interested
in cheap, and responsible Union Of consent Be
TWEEN the States, with the RENHbIEs necessary 10
protect life liberty and proportr, without appeal
ing to revolution, we shall advocate The doctrine
Of State Sovereignty and Federal SGbordination.
1t will teach with Jefferson, in the first Ken-
tncky resolution OF 1898, that the federal gov
eminent is not the fnal nor exclusive Judge Of the
extent OF its own powers, because Tie compact Of
Union was made by Sovereign Nations and each
of the States, but net the federal Supreme Court,
nor Congress, nor the President is the final Judge
Of attractions Of the federal constitution and OF
the Mode and Measure OF Redress.
Believing both alike to be equally interested in
maintaining the social and political supremacy Of
the white race over the negro and other mixed
and inferior races, shall advocate the doctrine
that when an inferior and superior race comes to-
gether by the million, i'll the same country, the
latter must Of necessity become subordinate to
the former; the only alternative being Of
races, in which one or both must go to the wall
We believe white supremacy and negro subordi-
nation to be the true relation Of the two races
We oppose the degradation Of our white laborers
and producers by black soldiers and black suf-
frage, nor are we willing that Western and South
ern society shall be sunk under the weight of a
race incapable Of selt-goyernmcnt.
Every measure not inconsistent with the fore
going principles which is calculated to build up
and unite the Nest and South in business, social
and political pursuits will receive the hearty CO.
operation of this paper, without regard to who
, may first advance it.

wish was an editor,
really do indeed
1t seems to me that editors
Get erythipg they need
They get the biggest and the best
Of everything that grows,
And get in free to circuses
And other kind of shows;
And when mammoth cheese is cut,
They always get a slice,
For saying Mrs. Smith knows how
To make it very nice:
The largest pumpkin, longest beet,
And other garden stuff,
Is blown into the sanctum by
An editorial puff;
The biggest bug will speak to them,
No matter how they dress
A shabby coat is nothing if
You own printing press;
At ladies' fairs they're almost Rugged,
By pretty girls you know,
That they may crack up everything
The ladies have to show
And thus they get a blowout free
At every party feed
The reason is, because they write
And other people read.
