THE CONTINGENT FUND LAW VIOLATED by Gov
ERNoR HAIGHT.-The public have heard how
Governor Haight took money out of the Conting-
ent Fund to erect the Burnett monument and
pay his subscription towards the Neuman flag.
Democratic orators, Greed Raymond among the
number, while they cannot deny the facts, at
tempt to palliate this perversion of the public
funds by saying that the fund was created for
the Governors use, and that he need not account
for its expenditure. Here is the act establishing
the fund. Read it, and see whether llaight
could misunderStand IL
For Special Contingent Fund for the Cover
nor 5 office, five thousand dollars, TO be drawn
at his discretion PROVIDED, fhat this amount shall
be used for Secret SerUice Fnd, and for no other
purpose ~hateCer; procided further, that the Gov
ernor shall account for The disbursement of the
same to the Senate, at the next session of the
Leg gslature.
1t will be perceived that the money was APP
propriated for Secret Service Fund, to be used
for no other purpose whatever. There can be
none so reckless AS to contend that building
monuments or subscribing to costly flags fall
within this category. Did lIaight know the law,
and did he knowingly and wilfuly violate it,
are questions for the voters TO answer.

TnE DEMOCRACY AND THE ChlXEsE.-In 1874
President Polk concluded treaty with China
which permitted Cinnamon to take up their resi-
dence in the United States. Buchanan also ne
gOiated with the Chinese Government in which
treaty it was stipulated that no restriction or
inpediment should be laid upon Chinese immi-
grafton to California. Under these treaties II
large immigration resulted in the early years of
this State when it WAS under Democratic rule
Yet with this record the Democracy would have
the people believe that the Republican party is
responsible for the presence Of Chinese among
us. The last Legislature WAS Democratic by
large majority, but when efforts were made to
prohibit Chinese labor on newly incorporated
railroads, the proposition was voted down every
time. Democrats are as quick to employ Chi
nesc labor whenever they can profit by it, as Re-
pubicans and Governor IIaight is among the
number. Their buncombe assertions are belied

During the printer great strike in
this city in 1867, twenty-five journey

men, and had faith in each other as men,
agreed 30 organize a cooperative print
ing association as a means Of gaining for
themselves at least. IL not for the whole
craft, the prices which they had demand

the twenty-five journeymen met aud

81 week each. until they accumulated q
fund sufficient for the purchase OF a small

power to increase il 20 Sl5, 600 and soon
with the fund which they had
accumulated, they bought nt bargain a
small but well selected stock Of materials
that had been only month in use.
Then, with a paid mp capital OF only

street, and were thenceforwnrd in receipt
OF the prices which they had demanded
for their labor Their disputes with en-
ployers we're ended. Recognizing the
Printers Union-the enforcement of
whose scale Of prices was one of the
objects aimed at by the twenty-five asSo-

III appears that the first intimation the
residents Of the doomed village OF Pesh-
hgo reccisel Of the calamity that await
cd them was on the evening of Sunday,
after tho close of the services at the
churches, when there was suddenly
heard roaring, rushing sound, likened
10 the first distant mutterings Of a
storm, or the h0arse murmnr OF an angry
sea- As this strange and terrifying
noise increased, the poor creatures seem
10 have been aroused TO a presentiment
Of coming danger III may have been
listened 10 at first without serious ap-
prehension, rs the supposed precursor
OF one Of those fierse but comparatively
harmless sEeepings Of the wind that 50
frequently pass over the broad prairie
lands Of the West. But soon il began
30 be realized that deadly heat wAs in
the breath OF that horrible tornado, and
the warning reflection Of q mighty con
hagration was cast over the scene. We
a. G told that electric flames shot through
in different parts Of the village, igniting
whatever they came in contact with, as
though "A mysterious and relentless army
bad been pouring "shot aud shell, a
fire OF he'll" over the devoted town.
We must leave 10 science 10 decide, in
cllmer moments, whether the phenomena
no vividly described by the excited suf-
fercr had actually any existence, or
whether they we're only blazing particles
from the burning forests aud Prairics,
whirled along and famed by the driving
wind. The horTor-strieken inhabitants
appear then 10 have first awakened 30
the knowledge that a destroying fire was
rushing towards their homes, borne up
ON the wings Of the tornado and in
stantly the peaceful village, just settling
down 30 the repose of q Sabbath even
ing, was scene Of terror and confusion
scarcely 20 bc pictured in the imagina-
ton Of those who were not eyewitness
of the frightfnl calamity. Parents clasp
cd their children in their arms and fed
from their houses, knowing not in what
direction 10 seek for safety. There was
no time 10 think of more Than life, and
that. unfortunately, could not in many
hundreds OF cases be preserved. We are
told that the poor creatures flying in
terror were in mary instances Tapped mp
by the hungry flames and scorched and
withered and burned in their tracks.
But the details are too horrible for rep
etition.

Horrible indeed are the reports which
come 10 ua from the burning regions of
the Northwest. The openings IN the
dense forests were dotted with villages,
settlements and isolated farm-honaea.
Fire came 10 suddenly and 20 completely
surrounded the buildings that In many
eases there WIS no escape.
The settlers were roasted alive IN their
houses, oYeftaken in their frantic Efforts
to escape, were consumed and found
their graves among the woods. Terrific
ntampedes of elk we're made ns they
rushed ehrieking in countless numbers
from before the eyer-crowding FIRE and
stroye 90 reach the clearinga The ami
mails swept through the farms with the
speed Of the whirlwind. while behin5
them came the fire like n hurricane.
Everything was swept away before them;
men aud women and helpless children
were tampled aud crushed, mangled and
bleeding into the earth, And FAR away
30 the northWard the bnfalOcs ran bel
lowing and tearing up the ground with
hoofs aud horns eagles whirllng In mid
mir far above the trees, fell to the ground,
seorehed, wingieas with the feryhnt heat.
The rocking pines tossed their helpless
branches 10 the sky and then were
wrapped in fame and fell laundering 10
the earth. The very earth was burned.
To fire these woods was like firing a
haystaek, 30 dense were the trees and NO
abundant the crisp aud dry underbnhh.
La Minnesota, numbers OF villages and
cities were swept from the face of the
earth. notwithstanding all that foresight
aud sagacity could do 30 save them.
Men by the hundred were stationed
about their outskirts with the purpose
Of fighting the irresistible elements, and
every precaution that human ingenuity
could suggest was nsed-in some cases
with some slight sneeess, but generally
in vain. Glencoe, Leseni, MAnkato,
New Ulm, aud other towns and hamlets
were completely swept ont Of existence
in the tremendous war 0f the elements.
Al least three hundred ard fifty farms,
with all their houses, fences, utensils and
livestock, were consumed. More than
two bundled people we're burned alive,
and the pocuniary loss is estimated AZ
between two aud three millions Of dol
lars. AT the present time the fires are
reported 10 have nearly died out, and
the path Of the storm is marked only by
ruined houses AID the remains Of what
was once the noble forest and prairie
land Of the State OF Minnesota.

THE ORIGIN OF THE HEAr or FmF.-
The origin of the heat developed during
combustion has hitherto been profound
mystery. In the beginning of the cen.
tury it was suggested that portion oi
the specific or of the latent heat of the
bodies consumed was set free during the
process of combustion 4; but this idea
was soon overthrown, as it was found
that the products of combustion often
possess more specific heat, and almost
always more latent heat, than the bodies
did before burning-that ~, before
chemically combining under evolution OF
heat.
To illustrate the specific heat Of oxy-
gen is 0.2I, and Of hydrogen, 3.4 II,
now. 8 lbs. of oxygen combine with ID.
hydrogen, forming lbs, of water, the
specific heat OF the mixture must be
Sx02l x1x3.x, or sos this divided by
o, to find the heat per h., gives 0. 90.
Now, the product of this combustion,
which is water, has a specific heat of /,
nearly twice as great but, before be-
coming water, it was first steam, OF which
the specific heat is only 0. 4s. but which,
by ats condensation, gives off not less
than 966 units Of latent heat. Hence
arises the observation-disclosures comes an
this intense heat Of combustion, and the
subsequent great amount Of latent heat,
when the resultant substance in the end
possesses more specific heat than it's ele-
ments before combining

Why the women OF the Oneida Com
munity wear the short dress, is thus ex-
planned 10y the Circular:
The short dress belongs 30 rs chiefly
because il is badge of freedom. of free
dom from the tyranny Of fashion. II is
an assertion of the right 10 occupy the
heart and mind with higher things than
dress Of the right TO listen to God. 1t
has cut us of from any part Of the do
main of fashion, and made wide the
breach between MS aud those who find
their life wholly in outward adornment.
This is why the short dress is precious TO
us. But though We are incorrigihle so
far rs the principle by which we hold the
short dress is concerned, and do not care
to argue about Il, we can say one thing
in which its critics ought 10 find oenso-
lation. The first deep motive OF woman's
adornment, il is generally assumed, is to
attract the love aud admiration Of man.
Every thoroughly candid woman, IL il
said, will confess this, and il is surely
nothing 10 shame her who was "made
to be the glory of man.. II is for the
love of man that woman, in following
the vagaries of fashion, sacrifices peace of
heart with mental improvement and
health and comfort and convenience.
But the women of the community do
not find IL necessary to sacrifice these
things to.gain the affections of the men.
They have the love of the men in the
short dress, an! much more of il than
il they were disguised by fashion. There
is no dearth of magnetism between the
sexes in the community. Ii there we're
we might give some attention 10 the
complaints of those who scold us for
not being more ornamental-i., 9. more
fashionable. But how can We give heed
TO so small thing, when our satisfaction
in our social life is already SO ample ?
We have the prize toward which all or
namentation aims why, then, should we
cumber ourselves with the inconvenience
Of fashion WHAT'S the use J.?
