THE DEVIL.


Beecher, in his lecture on THE Reign
Of the Common People," says:
''And the newspapers are another
stimulus that catcl, men. Every morn
ing ut breakfast the man spreads the
map Of the world before him, and the
wires have brought whispering across
the ocean every sound that has been Ut
tered in NIL Christendom. We do not
need to be put upon mountain to see
the kingdom Of the eartl, and the glory
of it. We can sit in our house and see
| it, and it isn't the devil that shows it to
us-yes. it is, very often laughter; but
not necessarily sou
Yes, it is the devil that does it. The
devil invented printing and helped old
John Gutenberg to print the first copy
Of the Bible. The devil set up printing
presses in other places and put them to
printing Bibles. The priests fought
desperately against the devil, burn
ing the books as lie printed them,
and declaring that the circulation of
the book among the people was the
work Of the devil and would lead men
away from the church and de stroy their
souls. But the devil triumpl,ed as lie
alwas does. He is the champion of hu-
man liberty. lie runs the Car of pro-
gress. lie taught Gallileo and Bruno
that. the earth turns on its axis, the
Rev. John Jasper to the contrary not
withstandi"g. lie introduced geology
to unsettle mans faith in the Mosaic
account OF creation. He started the
newspaper press which is revolution
;zing the world. No, sir, Mr.. Beecher,
stick to it that it IS the devil in every
case who brings us the newspaper, 1.-THE
map Of the busy world, it's fluctuations
and it's vast concerns" us Cowper has
it. About every invention, every dis
coverv, every new thought, which has
helped the world forward, has been de-
nounced by the priests and the church
es us the ''work of the devil.'' No Won
der, then, that the devil wins no WON
der that the majority are wiz. him.
Every man prefers to follow the devil
with liberty and happiness, to follow
ing the god Of theology with ignorance
and slavery. WHAT'S in u name? Sup
pose the blaspl'elnous priests choose to
call the loving God of human progress
aud elevation "tle DEVIL" and to cry
down his revelations for the help of
men rs 1.-The work Of the devil" what
does it matter? The real God, whether
called u jehovah, Jove or Lord,' or
Devil, works tllrongh1.ll things by nat
ural law, by ministering spirits, by I'M
pulse of his own spirit within, for the
development and final happiness Of
| eVerV creature.

HALLS PATENTS.

The St. James Journal devotes nearly
a column to showing up the defects of
the ready-prints of the St. Paul News
paper Union. 1t shows that nearly all
the papers in Southern Minnesota and
Northern Iowa which patronize this
Union have the same matter each week,
although the Union agrees not to pub
lish the same matter i'll papers published
in the same locality. The Journal also
claims that within the seventeen weeks
since it started at st. James, there
have been frequent repetitiors of sto-
ries and other matter in it's issues.
We have been using Halls ready.
prints for several years and have found
them more satisfactory than others on
account of the State news, reports of
conventions, election tables, legislative
reports, etc. We have several times
been tempted to change, but when we
count express charges, difficulty in Or
dering extra copies and having special
matter inserted, the insertion of home
advertisements OH the patent side, etc.,
we have usually concluded that we
should lose 10y the change.
But we agree with the Journal about
the carelessness with which Halls
printers make up and print lis issues.
For stubborn persistence in dirty proofs
and mixed up matter, they have no
equals III the country. We are in the
habit of frequently dropping postal
cards to Hall complaining of this. No
doubt Hall goes down among the prin-
ters and gives the NJ round ''cussing.'
and when he is gone they laugh and
pursue the even tenor of dirty proofs
and sloucly make-ups, with frequently
the bottom of one article tackled to the
top Of another one. Sometimes, more
over, they date the issues wrongly and
also err as to the number of the paper.
All this we IRE enduring because we
want home outside, but Hall must do
better or lie will lose the patronage of
the printers Of Minnesota.

THE GREAT DOUBLE EXHIBITION

THE GREAT DOUBLE EXHIBITION
Perhaps our readers do not realize
that within fortnight more the great
Minnesota. Fairs will begin. The State
Fair will open at st. Paul and the Fair
OF the Minnesota Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association will open at Min
neapolis. both on the I'd of September.
Some Of the fastest trotting horses in
the country will he there, the dog show
will lie something novel, Bogardus, the
great marksman, it is said, will lie there,
and there will he numerous other at
fractions. These, however, are moth
ing compared to the solid features. St..
Paul and Minneapolis are this year pit
ted against each other in a generous
emulation and bloodlcss contest for the
''belt" and championship in the matter
of State Expositions. Both are strain
ing every nerve and every compartment
in their pocket-books to Guido the other,
and we, the people, the great people of
Minnesota, (jncluding editors, will get
the benefit.
This great double State Fair will be
Circus, Menagerie, 1Iippodrome, Fair
and Art Exhibition, not all under one
tent, but all in Il number of spacious
buildings within easy reach of eacl,

State Exposition ever held in N[,nneso.
til. and 10 one ought to miss it who can
possibly raise clean shirt and money
enough to get there and make one grand
round OF the buildings. Young people
ought to hurry up and get married SO
rs to teke in the show on their wedding
tour. The dozen or so of young folks
who have been making Worthington
lively with matrimonial alliances might
have waited till Sunday, Sept. LIST, and
then taken the Monday morning train
for the fair grounds: where every facil.
ity, except bridal chambers, will be- af
forded them for enjoying themselves
Business men who need weeks recre
