SAVONAROLA.

''Savonarola and the Early Reforincrs' were the
subjects Of DR.. John Lords lecture at Chickering
Hall yesterday. The audience was large, usual.
Tho ladies are now feeling so much at home Ut
these morning entertainments that they bring their
fancy work along with them. and the clicking Of
knitting needles makes delicate accompaniment to
tho lecturere remarks. Savonarola reached the
height of his power in the year 1890. said Dr. Lord.
The death OF Lorenzo Iii Mcdici made q decided
change In tho political aspect Florence and savona-
rola. being politician as well as preacher. took
sides with the opposition and became it's leader. Let
us rather rcgnrd him In the light of statesman than
politician, because politicians are dcmigo,s and
clerical dcngod Is hideous. He despsed all tyrants
and usurpcrs. In his detcstation OF the Di Mcdicis
he hailed the armies Of Charles VIII. as delivcrers,
and induced the people to Join forces with the for
eign enemies.

Setting - Governors,
Written for tho Review by O. P. CuAnpl1x

The question of the next governor is
already before the people. In the dis.
cussion two points have been made
which we think should be ruled out.
The first point relates to the third tern,
Of which we have heard so much in
connection with the presidential Office,
and which no doubt suggested it in this
connection. The present governor is
called .'a third ermer' since he is viii.
ling to stand for another electi on. OF
course the point is made to pref udice
his chances for the governorship; and
unquestionably there are those who
would allow themselves to be influence
ed by it. But we wish to enter pro-
test before the discussion goes further.
It is not unrepublican, or antidem-
ocratic for man to serve in the COVER
norship three or even six terms; and,
SO far as we know, it is not unconsti.
tuti0nal; but if it is unconstitutional
then SO much the worse for the consti.

A Sugar Item.

A meeting of representatives of the
sugar interest was recently held at
st. Louis, were samples of Minnesota
sugar, made of amber cane, were pre-
sented, examined and tested, and the
unanimous verdict was that it is equal
in quality to the New Orleans sugar.
and worth as much. This fact ought
certainly to be encouraging to Mime
sofa farmers, and when wheat is so low
in price, and the culture of sugar being
within the reach Of every farmer, re-
quiring no more skill and not as much
labor IS corn, every farmer should
plant a patch large enough for his a.
valuable help to handle. There is not
farm in Blue Earth county but
is capable of maturing the cane as readi.
ly as it does corn, and another season
there will be mills in every township
to convert it into syrup, and available
facilities to reduce it to sugar. A crude
machine made by a Mankato mechanic,
last fall, at an expense Of $50, and
simple enough for any boy to operate,
can extract grained sugar from syrup
at a rate that will accommodate the
crop of a half dozen farms. Last and
the previous seasons have demonstrat.
ed that any farmer with reasonable in.
telligence and care can make the syrup
and reduce it to sugar, by ordinary
farm labor, without unreasonable ex-
pense, and in quantities that will pay
three to five time as the return per acre
