The Window Reporter, in copying
our article OIL q minnesota Railroad
SYSTEM, adds the tollowing:
We believe the ADVANCE speaks the
sentiment of everybody, and especially
does it strike a strong blow in the last
paragraph. So far as the greater por-
ton of the state regards this question.
it is cut off from Chicago as effectually
now, and made dependent upon St.
Paul, as there is Il possibility of our be-
coming dashed to the great railroad sys-
tenn that centers in Chicago. We want
no monopoly. The people of Minneso-
tn do not wish to be held to strict allie
glance to st. Paul, and so far as pro-
tecting her from tile encroachments of
foreign roads every effort will have the
sympathy OF the people throughout the
state-so faras competition is maintain
ed. But if the sympathy asked by st.
Paul means a monopoly for that CITY
she will find that public sympathy is
not with her. Now we are cut off from
Chicago and eastern markets by the
freights we have to pay when our COM
modities reach st. Paul. 1t costs as
much, or more, to get one hundred
pounds of freight from St. Paul to q
given point in Minnesota us from Chi
cago to st. Paul, 80 that we are driven
to the latter city, and are not allowed
the rights of competition in market.
Most OF the state is bound hand and
foot to St. Paul, and it wants Compel
ing railroad lines to relieve it OF the
burden. st. Paul is. q great CITY. and
The commercial emporium of the north
west, but if she and her railroads wish
to retain the sympathy of the people
generally they must concede more and
not try to obtain their wealth faster
than the people can dig it from the
earth. But it is human nature, and
railroad nature, to take the public by
the throat and hang to the grasp until
competition demands Il part of the bust.

The Devil Fishing.

The Devil sat by the rivers side
The stream OF time where you'll always find
Casting his line in the rushing tide,
And landing the fish on the bank behind him.
He sat at ease in q cosy nook. i
And was filling his basket very fast:
While you miglll have seen that his deadly hool
Was differently baited for every cast.
He caught 'em as fast as 4 man could count,
Little Or big, it was all the same;
One bait was check for Il round amount
An aSSemblynan nabbed it, and out lie came.
He took q gem that rs Saturn shonc,
1t sank In the water without Il SuCnd:
And caught i woman who long ": known
AS the best and pureSt for miles around
Sometimes he would laugh and sometimes sing.
For better luck no one could wish;
Ana ne seemed to know, to i dead sure thing
The bait best suited 10 every fish.
Quoth Satan: The fishing is rare and fine,
And he took a drfnk-sOmewllat enthllsed:
And yet parson SWAIN round the line
That even the most tempting Of bats refused
He tried with his gold and his flashing gems.
Hung fame and fortune upon the line,
Dressing gowns with embroidered hcmS
But still the dominic made no sign
A woman's garter went on the hook;
IL hav him ut last" quoth the Devil, brighten
ing;
Then Sat.ns side with laughter shook,
And lie funded the parsOn rs quick as light
ming.

The Oriental mind is saturated with

The Oriental mind is saturated with
religion. 1t undergraduates everything
and perverts everything, dominating
not only the family and every detail of
social life, but every law and function
OF public administration. The 1Iindoo
is amazed that the English should de-
vote their energies to the establishment
Of civil Justice and the security of life
and property. with no Interior religious
purpose in yiew.-Pioneer Press.
This is just and brief commentary on
the enervating and ruinous effects of
what is called ''too much religion" If
by religion is meant justice, upright
ness, personal purity, humility, and
love to our fellovman, there cannot be
''too much religion" but religion, even
in Protestant nations, generally means
the domination Of the church and the
priesthood. just to the extent that
this domination exists the people are
fettered, enervated, emasculated and
non-progressive. Just in the proper
tion that they break away from. this
blighting domination, are they true,
just, and progressive.
The Pioneer-Press speaks of the coin
school of finance and, in the same SEN
tence, of the paper money idiots You
see, the reason why hard money men
are q coin school Of finance and the
soft money men are paper money ldi-
ots' is because the p. P. is a hard mon
ey paper. This is why this i, thus. Il
Greenbacker is an idiot because he don't
see it as the 2. p. does, and hard mon
ey man is a school of finance SD to
speak, because he does see it as the p.
l.. does. Still, there are good many
idiots shopping around all the same
nevertheless.

The Minneapolis end Of the Pioneer
Press suggests that machinery be used
for getting the lumber away from the
saw mills and up the hill instead of u.s.
ing horses as now and wearing them
out in the pull up the hill. And the
editor suggests an endless chain or 4
series Of them. Here is both a humane
and 4 practical suggestion. We notice
also that boy somewhere suggested
that if an endless chain would carry
straw away from a thresher it would al
socarry hay intoamow. The suggestion
was adopted and now they have no trou-
BILE unloading hay into the hay NOW.
But that boy ought to have aroyalty on
all the endless chains used in that way.

CORN.
j. II. Drake, the active and irrepres-
sible Land Commissioner of the st.
Paul T. Sioux City Railroad is doing
exactly what the ADVANCE has for
four or five years urged upon the Rail-
road company as necessary to be done
If this portion of the State is to get it's
share of the influx into the Northwest.
That particular, essential thing is to
advertise, advertise, advertise.
Mr.. Drake is out in 4 recent alyer-
tiscment in which he says: "When a
man goes where Indian corn won't
grow, he is a long way from home"
And Mr.. D. knows that the country
through which theS. G. & St. Paul road
runs will grow Indian corn. This is
now settled tact. The corn crop this
year is, excellent. Southwestern Min
nesOta is bound to come to the front as
= leading corn and stock growing dis
trict.
We had 4 conversation recently with
the Speaker of the last Dakota House,
who is farming in the vicinity of Valley
Springs. lie had looked over the North
ern or wheat belt Of the State also, and
he vastly prefers the rich corn and
grass-producing belt in which we are
located. 1t is only question Of time.

silver lands have been discovered i'll
Ashland county, Wis. The silver dis
covered is on Trout Creek, which emp

near that town, which has the best har-

Ashland is one of the coming import

THE BIvOUAC OF THE DEAD.

The muffied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents are spread
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The biyouac of the dead.
No rumor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
or loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms
No braying horn, or screaming fife,
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads arc bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past
Nor war $ wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierece delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture Of the fight.
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet TO gain,
Came down the scrried foe;
Who heard the thunder Of the fray
Break Ter the field beneath,
Knew we'll the watchword Of that day
Was Victory or Death
Full many a norther's breath has swept
Der Angostura's plain,
And long the plying sky has wcpt
Above its mouldcrcd slain.
The ravens scream, or eagles fight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone now wake each solemn height
That frowncd o or that dread fray.
Sons of the Dark and Bloody Ground
Yc must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the needless air.
Your own proud lands heroic soil,
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war its richest spoil
The ashes of her bravo.
Thus, meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field;
Borne to u Spartan mothers breast
On many II bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and saintcd dcid,
Dear rs the blood yc gave.
No mpious foot-step here shall tread
The herbage Of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
Whilo Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowcd spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrcrs voiccless stone
In dcathlcss song shall tell,
When many vanished year hath flown,
The story how ye fell.
Nor wrek, nor change, nor winters blight
Nor Times remorselcss doom,
Can dim one ray Of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

The act of 1895 re-cnacted that of 1892,

"And in case of an insurrection in any
State against the Government thereof, it

United States, on application of the Legis-
lature of such State, or Of the Executive
(when the Legislature cannot be convened,
| to call forth such number of the militia of

as he may judge sufficient to suppress such
iusurrection."
Then followed the act of 1907, which
declared that instead of the militia, "it shall
be lawful for the President to employ, for
the samo purposes, such part of the land or
naval force of the United States as shall be
judged necessary, having first observcd all

That is to say, having first received a cali

STRANGE PLACE FOR A BIRDS NEST.
An English paper gives an account of a
pair of birds-Pied Wagtails-that last
year built their nest on the under side of
railroad car This car made four short
trips and returned each day, yet the birds
not only built their nest, but hatchcd their
Jonng. The account states that ic the car
went off while both old birds were out hunt
ing for food, they did not seem to mind it,
but they would perch on the telegraph wires
with the food in their bcaks, and wait pa
tlently until their travelling nest came back.
The birds seemed to like the arrangement
so well, that they came back to the same
place this year, built another nest, and
eggs were laid in it.

HAYES's FALSE PRETENCEs.
Conkling and Mr.. Edmunds both quote the
acts Of 1892, 1895, and 1907, and Mr..
Hays repeats the assertion, alleging that
they rest upon tho same foundation as the
act of FEBRUARY, 1865. which authorizes the
use of the army at elections, at the discrc.
tion Of the Executive.
Nothing could be further from the truth
than this allegation is Here is the pro-
vision Of the act Of 1902
whenever the laws ofthe United States
shall be opposed, or the execution thereof
