Would you believe it? The board of
Directors of the St. Paul Chamber of
Commerce has walked up on the subject
of immigration, They have actually
gone so far as to propose to interview
the officers of the leading railroads to
ascertain whether the said railroad
companies, who have tens of thousands
Of acres of railroad land to sell, will not
cooperate with the Great State of Min
nesota in going 5000 or $4,000 better
on that immense, enormous, made
quate and niggardly $1,000 appropriate
ed by the last Legislature for immigra-
ton purposes. While Kansas, Missou-
RI, Texas, and all the Southwest have
for some years plastered the United
States with advertisements, and are Sc

and poster issued, Minnesota has hig-
gled, and hesitated, and discussed the
propriety of spending any money on

The reason why homeopatlists
resolved to take off the Hahnplnanic
yoke was because every last man OF
them gave ordinary drugs secretly as
they have done VIGOROUSLY, for the last
fifteen years.-Omaha Herald.
The reason probably was that the

the race III religion, medicine, and about
everything else, and has slaughtered
more men than political wars. The true
practice in medicine, religion, science
ETC., is Eclecticism, which takes the
truth from all systems and practices
according to. that. Whatever rea
progress has been made in medicine
has been due to the Eclectics, whether
passing under that name Or not. W.

into the sensitiveness of the brain ant
