Silk Photographs.

1t is stated that firm of silk manu-.
facturers in Lyons have succeeding in
obtaining photographs upon silk. Ever
since the discovery of that wonderful
art efforts have many times and oft been
made to secure the result that has at
last been realized. Under the circum-
stances, it can scarcely cause surprise
that the process has not been divulged
though there is ground to believe that
the prints are made with salts of silver
Several pieces of silk have been exhib-
tied with variety of Photographic pic
lures printed on them, some Of them be-
ing large medallions of paintings by the
old masters. If the Lyons firm succeed
in establishing a new industry, surely
no one will grudge then that need of
praise to which, indeed, whatever may
be the final outcome Of their invention,
they are already entitled. Cassell's

Rich Mems Sons.

The President of one of the largest
banks said to us day or two since, that
a rich mans son had just left his place,
and he was the last man of the kind he
would ever employ. The man was faith
full, honest, and fulfilled intelligently
and well all the duties required Of him;
but Just as he had become accus-
toned to his work, he found out it was
too combining, and a raw clerk had to be
put in his place. A bad look this for
rich young men; but it is the old story
repeated for the thousandth time. If
rich mems sons will not endure the
drudgery by which nearly all their faith
ers secured money and position, they
must take secondary place in the next
generation; and oftener they drop out OF
sight amid the idle, worthless herd, if
indeed, they escape the association with
loafers and criminals. What say the
labor reformers to facts like these, for
facts they are beyond question. Nearly
every man in any leading position in the
community began life poor. Let the
sons Of rich men take warning and go to
work honestly and faithfully every day
if they hope to fill the positions honora-
blv held by their fathers Tribune.

The Il. F. & D. r. Il.

From the Pope County Press.
Owing to the favorable railroad news re-
ceived this week real estate in this village
has advanced 100 per cent. in value anC is still
on the rise. Now is the time to purchase
town lots, but dom: all buy at once.
From the Stevens County Tribune.
We feel sanguine that the early completion
of the Little Falls {, Dakota Railroad is an
assured fact. The recent salo of a controlling
interest in the road to Col. Crooks and his
associates, while looked upon, by some, with
suspicion, is, however, the best that could be
done under the circumstances. Sooner or
later we would have had to gone on the mark
ct and sought capital with which to build The
line, and if We had done so, could we have
made as satisfactory an arrangement and
agreement as has just beer consummated.
The parties who have negotiated the purchase,
gave I'LL guarantees We could reasonably ask
or expect They furnish the money, and they
furnish the brains, and what capitalists would
not demand control Of the property in which
their moneys were invested. Col. Crooks and
Mr. Clough arc not the men TO do any dirty
work or trickery for any parties, and as far as
they are concerned we are confident they
will act in good faith, and ii, as some claim,
we are sold out, we assert that neither Of
these gentlemen are parties to the 3windle.
But We are of the impression that the present
company will act in good faith, for they have
control of piece of property which will prove
good Investment and yield handsome
profit to the owner. This line is located
through one of the richest tracts of farming
country in the State, and there is not single
doubt but it will pay from the start. 1t has
the sympathy, and will have the support of
the people along the line. This road can
charge paying rates and do over two. thirds
of the business, for the people look upon it as
their road, and will always so consider it, no
matter who controls it, so long as their rights
are respected. Before long our people will be
called upon to vote the bonus, and we do not
expect q single negative, for they all know it
will give them cheap fuel and lumber, good
prices for their produce: it will add from S.
to $40 per acre to ti,e value of every acre of
land in the county. They know this, and
will work and aid the enterprise that assures
them relief FROM monopolies.

G1lman's Eligibility.

The Pioneer Press and St. Cloud
Journal Press oppose the candidacy Of
Hon. 9. A. Gilman for the office of Lieut..
Governor, on the ground that he is 1nel,.
gible to that Office by reason of article 4,
section 8, Of the State constitution, which
reads as follows:
ART. 4-SEc. 9. No Senator or Represen-
| tative shall, during the term for which he is
elected, hold any Office uadcr the authority of
tho United States or Of the State of Minneso.
ia, except that of postmaster aad no Senator
or Representative shall hold an ofico under
the State which had been created or the amol-
uments of which had been increased during
the session Of the Legislature of which he was
member, until cns year after the expiration
of his term ofof6ce in the Legislature.
Hon. j. V. Brewer wrote a letter,
which appeared in the St. Cloud Journal
Press Of the 18th inst. demonstrating
Mr.. Gilman's eligibility, bi1t there is one
point which Mr.. Brewer did not refer to,
and which seems to US to be directly in
Mr.. Gilman's favor: We will state,
however, that the law is not OUT profess
sion, and we may possibly err IN our un>
derstanding of the case, but the point we
refer to is as. follows. The question at
issue is whether the words "during the
term for which he Is elected" found in
article 4, section 9, of the constitution,
as quoted above, includes any time after
the resignation of a member of the iegis-
lature or not. It will be observed that a
member Of the Legislature is prohibited
from holding, "during the term for which
he IS elected" any Office under the au>
thority Of the United States except that
of postmaster, as we'll as being prohibited
from holding any State Office. Now in
reference to the acceptance of a United
States Office by member of the legisla~
tare, the constitution certainly contem-
plates nothing more than that the men,
Der of the legislature accepting such
United States Office shall vacate his office
as a member of the legislature. The
constitution cannot be construed as pro>
hibiting man from holding United
States Office after he has resigned his
office as member of the legislature; oth~
erwise the State would be put in the
supremely ridiculous and absurd position
of assuming powers which it does not
possess; for the State cannot prevent a
man from holding a United States office,
but can compel him to vacate his posi-
tion as member of the legislature.
Therefore in relation to the acceptance
of United States office the words "dur~
ing the term for which he is elected"
cannot include any time after his reslg-
ignation as such Senator or Representa-
tive; and it is perfectly plain that if it
cannot be construed to include any time
after his resignation in case he accepts q
United States office, 1t cannot be con-
strued to include any more time if he ac~
cepts State office. The words mean ex>
actly the same in both cases, and have
exactly the same application. That is
the way it looks to US.

From the Pioneer Press, Sept. %.
The recent rise in wheat is regarded

enormous foreign demand, and predic.
