If this was contest merely between
territory or business, it would be of
very little interest to our readers. But
it is much more than this. 1t is con-
test for the commercial existence of St.
Paul and Minneapolis. On the one side
the Milwaukee Il st. Paul company is
trying to cut off st. Paul and Minneap-
oils from any share in the trade of
southern Dakota, while on the other
hand the St. Paul 4 Sioux City is fight
ing single handed and alone against all
the tremendous wealth and power Of
the Milwaukee corporation to prevent
this dire catastrophe to our commercial
future. 1t is not necessary to say
where i'll such contest as this the SYM
patl'ies of the people Of these two cities
will be found.-Pioneer Press.
The above is the conclusion of the
Pioneer Press article on the new branch
from Heron Lake. We can assure the
St. Paul. and Minneapolis people that
we have as keen an appreciation of the
merits of this railroad race as they have
and much keener. They have had the
benefits of having our trade turned in.
to their laps, while wellave suffered the
disadvantages of being dependent upon
them to large extent. We have paid
more for our goods, have received less
for our products and have paid much
higher freights than if we had had a
Chicago or Milwaukee road through,
this part of the State. We have been
the tip end to the tail of their kite, and
! all their efforts have been to turn i'm.
migration up the St. Paul & Pacific and
the roads more Immediately tributary
to their cities. But a change is com
ing, and our people naturally enough
are glad to hail the advent Of the Mil
watskee & st. Paul among us.

BIGOTRY AND PERSECUTION.

1t would seem that Worthington is
the hot-bp.l Of bigotry and persecution.
Recently Miss Sue I.;,ngdon was arrest
ell on criminal proceedings for selling
cider. tried before the village Justice,
and the man (?) %ho claims to have
brought it appeared against her, and she
was convicted aud fined $25 or 35 days
Imprisonment. Her father paid her
fine and she was released. What sur
prises us is that a justice who would
impose such heavy penalty for an of.
1enso Of that character, and the COM
nunity which would make the sale of
cider Il crime, would be so mercenary as
to accept money in atonement, instead
of insisting upon the severest penalty
Of the aw. 1t partakes Of the spirit of
TIE blue laws of Connecticut, and is as
beneficial to the canse of religion and
good morals as the recent murder of
his own child by the Massachusetts
Advent fanatic. There is probably no
other community in the UIion where
the sale of cider is made 4 criminal Of
fense, and Gel tainly none other 50 un-
gallant as to take i young lady rs the
first victim Of it's enforcement. We
expect next to hear that the ministers
of the gospel ut Worthington arc un-
der condemnation and sentence for dar-
ing to offer wine to their followers in
church communion. For fanaticism
the Worthington village authorities are
entitled to the palm.-Mankato Re-
view.
The Review, however, should remem-
ber that such is the MW. Our charter
most distinctly prohibits selling, giving
away, or disposing of any Intoxicating
liquor, cider included, AS a beverage.
Even wine for communion purposes
cannot he sold or given away without
rendering the parties liable. And un.
der Judge Dickinson's ruling, the State
law prohibits the sale of liquors by drug
g!sts even OH a physicians prescription.
AS to rigidly enforcing such laws,
that is another question. But it is
done here. and the complaint made by
all fair-minded men Is that the laws
are not in.pa,tially enforced. The pros
ecutions are generally for spite or per-
sonal reasons, while those equally gull.

THE RAYLROAD IlOTE.NENT'S


Both the st. Paul and Minneapolis
ends of the Pioneer Press, speaking for
their respective cities, dwell upon the
Importance of the railroad movements
now going on in this vicinity and sound
the note of alarm to the business men
of the dual city. ''Tlle interests of each
and all are threatened with All over
whelming danger, and the struggle is
one for the Commercial existence OF
the two cities'' says the Pioneer Press.
The two cities no doubt appreciate
the Importance of tho trade of this part
of Minnesota and Of Dakota west OF us,
and if they wish to secure Share OF it,
they must push their railroads into it
and then their merchants must compete
with Chicago for the trade. Tile peo-
pie throughout this vast and exceeding
" ricl, prairie country lave been pay
ing heavy tribute to st. Paul and Min
aeapolis, because they were dependent
for ingress and egress upon roads lead
ing to those cities. But now we are
about to have the lons-looked-for bene-
fits of competition, which the Pioneer
Press admits when it says: "A ton OF
merchandise, for example, is transport
ed from Chicago to Owatonna, a dis
tance of over four hundred miles, at
less rates of freight than from st. Paul
to the same place, distance of sixty
miles," A gentleman in this vicinity
recently sent to Chicago for hundred
hounds oflcad. The freight to Lemars,
y distance of over 500 miles, WAS 55c,
and from there to Worthington, II dis
lance of 65 miles, it was 42c. AS show
ing further the benefits of competition,
We see it stated that while the freight
from Chicago to Austin, on a car OF
machinery, is $S22, the same car can he
shipped to Kansas City, nearly twice as
far, for $l0.5O.
But the benefits OF railroad competi-
tion are too apparent to need discus
sion here. We write now to congratu-
late our people upon the fact that the
hour of their del,verance from exOrbi-
tant freights is near 1T hand, and we
shall clap our hands and cheer OH both
the St. Paul 4 Sioux City and the Mil"
waukee Il st. Paul III their race for the
trade of this magnificent reach of prai-
RE country.

Train the Boys for Business.

There is one element in the home
instruction of boys to which too lit
tie attention has been given, and
that is the cultivation of habits of
punctuality, system, order and re-
sponsibility. In too many house
holds boys from twelve to seventeen
years are too much administered to
by loving mothers, or other female
members of his family. Boys lives
during those years are halcyon days
of their existence. Up in the morn
ing just in season for breakfast;
nothing to do but start of early
enough not to be zoo late; looking
upon an errand as taking so much
time and memory away from enjoy
ment; little thought of personal APP
perance, except when reminded by
his mother to spruce up" a little;
finding his wardrobe always where
mother puts it in fact, having moth
to do but enjoy himself.
Thus his life goes until school
ends. Then he is ready for bust
ness. He goes into an office where
everything is system, order. precis-
ion. He expected to keep things
neat and orderly, sometimes kindle
fires, file letters, do errands-in
short, become a part of a nicely
regulated machine, where every
thing moves in systematic grooves,
and each one is responsible for cor
rectness in his department, and
where, in place of ministers to his |
comfort, he finds task masters
more or less lenient, TO be sure
and everything in marked contrast

Self-Control.

Many parents think they are Civ
ing their children good education
by sending them to school. They do
not realize that the most important
part of child's education is what
it gets at home. The most valuable
teaching that boy can have is that
which gives him self control. Far
more important that he should learn
to keep his passions in subsection
than to be able to solve a quadratic
equation, Most children are
brought up without any teaching in
regard to those passions which
wreck many one upon the rocks
of sensuality and vice. knowledge
is not education. Education is
training, the growth and cultivation
o; the various faculties of the mind.
The moral training OF children is of
tile first importance; the acquisition
of knowledge should be entirely
secondary.

The cheapest meat for the far
mer is mutton. 1t may safely be
said to cost nothing, as the fleece
from the sheep of good breed will
amply pay for its keeping. Then,
for additional profit, there is 8
lamb or two. the pelt of the animal
is killed at home, the excellent ma
uure from its droppings, and the
radiance of the pastures from
weeds, to which sheep are destruc-
tive foes. With the exception of
poultry. mutton is also the most
con senient meat for the farmer.
A sheep is easily killed and dressed
by a single hand in an hour, and in
the warmest weather it can be read
lily disposed OF before it spoils.
Science aud experience both de
clare it the healthiest kind of meat,
and a foolish prejudice alone pre-
fers pork, whether fresh or salt, is
the unhealthiest of all. When peo-
pie gain more wisdom, farmers will
keep more sheep.-[Exchange.

4 New Use fer Waste Paper.

Aunt Mary" writes: Few
housekeepers have time to black
their stoves every day, or even
every week. Many wash them in
either clean water or dish water.
This keeps them clean, but they
look very brown. After stove
has once been thoroughly BACKED,
it can be kept looking very well for
a long time by rubbing it with old
paper every morning. Ii l occa-
sionally find spot of gravy or
fruit juice that the paper will not
take off, | rub it with a wet cloth,
but do not put on water enough to
take off the backing. l find that
rubbing with paper is a much nicer
way of keeping my tea kettle, cof-
fee-pot and tea pot bright and clean,
than the old v ay of washing them
in suds. The inside of coffee and
tea pots should be rinsed in clear
water, and never in dish water.
Rubbing with dry paper is also the
best way of polishing knives,
spoons and tinware after securing.
This saves wetting the knife han
dies. If little flour be held on
the paper ia rubbing tinware and
spoons, they shine like new silver.
For polishing windows, mirrors,
lamp chimneys, etc, always use
paper in preference to dry cloth"

When to Cut Sorghum.

AS good a time as any to cut sor
ghum is before it is entirely ripe.
After you have it cut and the tops
cut off at about the upper joint;
the juice above that does more
damage than good-tie the cane in
small bundles, for convenience in
handling; take it to your barn or
any place will do where it will not
get wet, and Cross-pIle it to dry,
and if the weather is not too warm
it can lie there several weeks before
it Will sour. The object in drying
it is to get as much of the green
juice out as possible. The green
juice is in parts of the leaves left
on after being stripped, and in the
bark. If you press the cane as
soon as cut the juice will have an
ugly green color. If you let 1t be
several weeks the juice when first
pressed will be almost white

If you want to get rid of sprouts,
briars, bushes, shrubs, young trees,
etc, that are in the pastures and
meadows on the farm, go at them
now with all your force. Clean
them out thoroughly, and you will
get rid Of them. From the middle
of July to the middle of August
is the best time to do effective work
against such distractions and eye
sores on the farm ought to be freed
from all distractions to moving
and reaping machines, Now when
the fields are cleared of their crops
is a good time 10 clean them up
thoroughly. If pastures are clean
ed, the moving machine can be run
over them to cut down dog fennel,
iron weeds and other weeds that are
a great injury to the pastures.
Nearly all of the pastures in the
west could be made to carry double
the stock they now do, by thicker
seeding, and keeping weeds. briars
and brush cleaned out of Ehem.-

to his previous life.
In many instances the change is
too great. Errors become numer
GUS; blunders, overlooked at first,
get to be a matter of serious mo-
ment; then patience is overtasked,
and the boy is told his services are
no longer wanted This is his first
blow. and sometimes he never .ral-
lies from it. Then comes the sur
prise of parents, who too often
never know the real cause, nor where
they have failed in the training of
their children.
What is wanted is for every boy
to have something special to do; to
have some duty at a definite hour,
and to learn to watch for that time
to come; to be answerable for GER
tain portion of the routine of the
household; to be trained to antici-
pate the time when he may enter
the ranks of business, and be FORTH
fed with habits of energy, accuracy
and application, often of more i'm
portance than superficial book learn
ing.
