We wandered, happy. arm in arm,
Together, You and !,
And words of love we spoke SO warm,
In days now long gone by.
We sat beneath the old oak tree,
Upon the messy ground.
And with many honied kisses there
Our warmest love we bound.
'Twaa at the little Sulphur Spring,
Where we SO often met,
We strolled together queen and king
Do you remember yet
How pretty, then, this world SO bright,
1t merely seemed to be-;
Alas this life is but a blight,
And nothing else to me.
For all those golden days are gone,
Returning nere1apore- =
wander to the Springs alone,
And love them as before.
But there. beneath the old oak tree.
So dear once for us two;
Upon that messy spot see
A stranger now with you.

- A poor colored man by the

tune it was to be on the premises of
FRANCOIS Losset, Of this town, dur
ing . long and painful sickness, died
on last Saturday morning. During
the entire day of his death no ar
engagements had been made for his
burial; and it was late in the night
when the young gentlemen who
were making the coffin were IN
formed by Green Watkins. a colored
man, that it was too small, and that
he thought it ought to be taken
apart and made over.-s FRANCOIS
Losset being considerably under
the influence of liquor, and within
!. hearing of the conversation between
his son and Green, remarked that if
the coffin was too small they might
! cut the corpse, so as to make a mt;
and that the coffin should not be
made ever. Green made some re-
ply, whereupon he and FRANCOIS
came to blows FRANCOIS, in his
frenzy, snatched up the corpse and
dashed it with great violence upon
] the fioor-r-r-um boom! heavens!-
and then drEgged it outside OF the
house. During this terrible melee
the sheriff put in an appearance
and ushered Francois into Jail
where he spent the balance OF the
night in solitude. The next morn

pentance, and almost wholly obliv

4 TEMPEST IN II TEAPOT.

Samoa is threatened with civil war. The
disturbance nearly concerns this country
in fact grows out of the treaty with the
United States designed for the especial bene
fit of DR.. Steinberger, the enterprising Ger
man American who first discovered the COM
mercial Importance of the islands and estab-
lished himself supreme potentate over them.
Samoa is inhabited by forty to fifty thousand
people of various shades of complexion,
but all of rather low order of intelligence.
The men are strong, handsome and lazy; the
women are symmetrical in form and devious
in conduct. The few Europeans and Arneri-
cans who have gone there have monopolized
the best of the trade and the handsomest of
the women, but as long as the natives are
not obliged to work they don't care con-
tinental about it. They are not apt to get
excited about little things. But advices by
thing of unusual importance has occurred
to stir the usually slothful native up to the
pitch of threatening civil war. That some
thing is the pro pect that German and Eng
lish merchants shall have an equal chance
with Americans to export the cocoanut oil,
caoutchouc and castor oil which the islands
produce in abundance When Steinberger
framed the trea'y with the United States he
had an eye to the good, the true and the
beautiful, and provided that none but Ameri-
can BARRIERS should have the privilege of an
nointing the heads of their customers "ith
Samoan cocoanut oil; that none but Phila-
delphia lawyers should have the privilege of
the caoutchouc for conscience-making pur.
poses; that none but Yankee children should
have the inestima le boon of swallowing the
castor oil produced in those gems of the sea.
But other hearts ached for these privileges.
The Englishman felt the need of a hair re-
storer, of more elasticity of conscience, and
of proper purgative, while the Teutonic
heart sighed for that which might, perhaps,
if judiriously administered, purge the nation
of the socialistic disease. We may remark
parenthetically that there's nothing like cas-
tor oil to cure the desire for communism. I
Some of the Samoans could not understand
why these two nations should not enjoy the
benefits accorded to the Americans in these
respects, and so they have determined to id
them welcome. But the Americans resist,
and they have apparently succeeded in ex-
citing part of the natives to such pitch
that they are ready al any moment to treat a
Dutchmsn OF Johnny Bull to the reception
their ancestors accorded to Capt. Cook years
| ago. What this tempest in a teapot may
amount to is beyond human ken. With
breathless anxiety we will await further ad-
| vices from the seat of war, with the hope
that the right of Young America to the ex-
| elusive privilege of being purged by Samoan
castor oil will be maintained as long as Bun
ker Hill monument shall endure, and the
memory of DIR. Stelnberger shall hold place
upon the roll of fame.

The others are Hyslops and Transcendents.
These apples were grown on the open prai-
RE, without any protection from the winds.
Who can beat this? Farmers are haying

wheat Is ten to twelve bushels to the acre.
Buyers are paying % cents for No. 4 wheat.
Wells (Faribault county, Adrocate, Sept.
-: Haying is over. Threshing is we'll
under way. The corn crop is out of the
way of the frost. M. j. Myers showed US
two ears of corn last Monday that he raised
on sod this year, and no better or larger was
exhibited at the great fairs last week. The
absurd theory that corn cannot be success
fully raised in this State is well nigh worn
out, as well as the raising of fruit. Chas.
Dunbar brought us a half-dozen apples last
week that were only common samples of
several bushels he raised this year, which
were as large as common saucer and as
highly favored as any apple we ever ate. L..
G. Seaton exhibited specimens also, last
week, considerably larger than Dunbar's.

WE wonder if there is niger in the
fence at White Earth Indian agency. Yes
terday morning G. A. Ruffee, Indian agent
at that place, published for the first time an
advertisement calling for bids for the con-
struction of mill-dam and Touring mill
at that place, all bids to be presented at the
Merchants hotel in this city at noon to-day.
Plans and specifications are on file at Min
neapolis and Detroit. Now it was simply
impossible that any contractor, after the
publication of the advertisement, could have
examined the plans and made out his bid in
time for consideration. Mr.. Ruffee may
have bid before him, but he will not, evil
IDENTIFY, be bothered by too much competition.

HI YES CHEEK.

In one thing Mr.. Hayes is not lacking
the distinguishing trait of Americans gener-
ally-cheek. He has, indeed, an extraordi-
nary supply of the article, enough to quail
fly him as book canvasser or lightning
rod agent, but rather more than becomes a
person occupying the Office of President of
the United States. If we should remark
that he had as much cheek as a government
mule we might do injustice to patient and
every way worthy and useful animal, and
out of consideration for the feelings of the
animal aforesaid we do not make the re.
mark.
Mr.. Hayes cheek was made manifest in
slight degree at st. Paul, where, the guest of
the State Agricultural society, he attempted
to instruct men better informed than him
self on the subject of the finances. He made
few eggregious blunders. For instance,
he triedto make US believe, relying upon the
fact that we live in the far West and are per-
haps in his estimation gull,ble greenhorns,
that the Republican party had effecteda con-
traction of the currency only to the extent
of about forty eight millions of dollars. He
forgot for the time that people in Minnesota
are in the habit of reading the newspapers.
especially the GLOBE. and have learned from
Mr.. Hayes secretary of the treasury that the
contraction of currency effected of late years
has amounted to more than six times that
| amount, namely: Two hundred and ninety
five million dollars. It was cheeky, not to
| say dishonest, to make such staten ent
| ''with intent to deceive"
Mr.. Hayes gave another exhibition of
cheek in the Chicago board of trade on Fri
day. BY virtue of his Office he was accorded
the unusual privilege of addressing the
members during business hours. He seized
the occasion to enter upon JUS
LITIGATION of the financial policy
of the Pirate Sherman. He blandly i'll
formed his auditors that they might not
agree with him as to the policy of the re-
sumption act and the course pursued by
Sherman, but as all the harm that
could be done by that measure and
that policy had been done, he
thought they had better fall into line and
assist in carrying it out. He was talking to
men who had probably lost thousands of dol.
lars on account of the ruinous p.licy of the
government inaugu1ated by Sherman and
approved by himself, and yet had the etfront-
cry to tell them in effect: You have lost all
you can lose by this outrageously piratical
policy; SO what's the use of fighting it now.
Turn in and help us to carry it out; salute
those who have smitten you. You have been
robbed, I acknowledge, but you ought to help
the robber to consummate his work.
This, reduced to plain English, is what

ACCORDING to the Chicago Times, which
has taken the trouble to collate the statistics,
q total of about half million dollars has
been contributed for the relief of the yellow
fever sufferers thus far. Large as this sum
may appear, it is not half sufficient to meet
the requirements of the afflicted people.
Over five thousand are dead, and twenty
thousand sick, with all depending upon these
people for support suffering from want.
The picture is suggestive of condition of
suffering to which we at the North are, for
tunately, strangers. More money is needed,
and must be forthcoming.

NcC0Skry Gud Becciter-A Contrast.
New York Sum-

It'll to the credit OF the Episcopal church
that its house of bishops has so promptly
dealt out to the licentious bishop of Mich.
gan the severest punishment it could inf1ict
on him. When first the proofs of his guilt
were laid before him by members of his do
cese, Bishop McCoskry sought to escape an
investigation, with it's consequent disgra e,
by resigning his episcopal functions on the
plea of i'll health and the necessity of pro-
longed European travel.
He subsequently withdrew his resignation,
and, denouncing the charges against him as
false and venomous, pretended to desire to
meet and confound his accusers. This was
in accordance with the impudent and bully
ing tactics adopted by Beecher; but lying
effrontery did not avail the bishop of Mich
igan.
Bishop McCoskry, knowing the mer and
the church with whom he had to deal, and
forecasting his doom, afterward repeated his
resignation, and substantially ran away to
Europe to escape the coming storm. And
now, after decent interval, the house
of bishops, through the presiding bishop,
'declare and pronounce the said Samuel
Allen McCoskry deposed from the holy min
istry and from all the Offices thereof;'' and
he will wander about Europe disgraced
and disgowned priest, unable to escape from
his shame.
This is the second case in the history of
the Episcopal church of the United States
where q bishop has been deposed,
suspended from his episcopal func-
lions for icentious conduct. and,
| as we have said, it is to the
| honor of that communion that it has
not hesitated to make another example, and
again administer its discipline without re-
| gard to the exalted ecclesiastical rank of the
| offender. The first case was that of Bishop
| Ouderdonk, of New York, man esteemed
in his diocese, and with distinguished family
connections. The accusations against him
were sustained, and he was at once suspend
ed from his Episcopal Office, in 1845, and
from that time until his death, in 1861, he
lived under the ban of sentence which was
terrible to him. His brother, also, Bishop
Onderdonk of Pennsylvania, was suspended
in 1914 for his habits of incompetence, but
though subsequently restored, he kept from
the public view.
This is the proper way for church to
deal with its reprobate priests. The more
exalted the ecclesiastical position of the
criminal, the greater power and influence he
| has in the communion, the more necessary
is it that he should be made to bear the
penalty of his scandalous offences.
What contrast is there between the
course of the Episcopal church in the cases
of Bishop McCoskry and the two Onder-
dopks, and that of the Congregational
church in the case of Henry Ward Beecher
i
