It has been predicted by some philo-
sophie dietists that dogs will yet be-
come favorite food IN civilization.
They contend that the dog is not only
very palatable, but that he is nourish-
ing and entirely wholesome, and that,
when young and tender, he cannot be
distinguished from the best mutton.

NINE SUSPENSIONS.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has taken
the trouble to look up the statistics and
to show that the banks of the United
States suspended specie payments nine
different times in the tfty-two years
from 1909 to 1861. Each of these sus-
pensions brought ruin to thousands of
business men and distress upon tens of
thousands Of people.
We have reached resumption again
and are promised Il revival Of business
and brtter times from this on. We
hope that all this may be realized,
though many think the fact of resump-
tion will have little effect in causing
revival Of business.
But the fact that under the present
system such frequent suspensions re-
suit, and are always attended by such
great disaster, should set the business
world to thinking seriously whether af-
ter all a specie basis is not all delu-
sion and Il snare. No nation on the
globe ever maintained specie payment
for any great length Of time and the
banks Of Venice are said to have sus-
pended for Il period of four hundred
years. England suspended for thirty
years. Certain it is that the business
world needs some mere reliable none
tary system.

7'IMBEI, CULTURE,

The annual meeting of the State For
estry Association was held at st. Paul
on the 14th. Mr.. Donnelly, the Presi-
dent, delivered 4 very interesting ad-
dress. Fifteen to twenty years ago he
began to agitate the subject of re-
deeming the prairies by forest culture,
and was, Of course, laughed 1T by the
pig-headed as impractical and vision
Rry. But he has lived to see the most
practical adopting his ideas and work
ing with him to introduce tree culture
on the Minnesota prairies.
Mr.. Hodges, the Secretary, thought
that twenty to twenty-five million trees
had been planted the past year. lie is
preparing manual OH tree culture,
embodying information which is need
ed by tree planters, and which will be
ready for the press III the course of a
couple of months.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President-Ignatius Donnelly.
Vice Presidents-lst, A. A. Soule;
I'd, J. N. Bruler; 81, J. II. Stevens.
Secretary-Lconard b. Hodges.
Treasurer-Pennock Pusey.
Executive Committee-C. Y. Lacy.

A movement is on foot to have the
time for paying taxes extended until
about next November when farmers
will have their coming wheat crop mar
keted and he in better shape to pay.
OF course this act will only he applica-
bic to the southern tier Of counties
where the wheat crop was q failure.
This would certainly be but a just meas
ure. and should be looked after imme-
diately.-Preston Republican.
Since the precedent has been estab-
]ished, it will no doubt be well to ex-
tend again. Certainly there has been
10 time since the settlement of this
part of the State began, when it was so
hard to obtain money to pay taxes.

THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
The Murray cOunty correspondent of
the Jackson Republic says Of this road:
There was some in Murray county
that received information il year ago
would lie built through Bondin, and so
on to the State line, and a branch from
Jackson to Wortlington us soon as it
would pay. 1t will pay any time that
WOrthngtOn and other towns will pay
for building it. This information is
official from the head centre). Now
vote your bonus and down with rates of
freight tariff. All want and expect to
see Worthington Il Railroad center some
day.
This has been the view of the AD-
VANCE all along, that even if the main
line should follow the northern route.
a bra lcl would be built to WorthiEg-
ton, similar to the branch of the Vino
ia & st. Peter into Mankato. AS to
giving enough bonus however, to build
the branch, that cannot he done. We be-
lieve that Worthington and perhaps
one OF two other towns would vote the
five per cent. allowed by law and per-
laps give something besides in the way
Of a subscription:
We say again that our people can
we'll afford to pay 4 handsome bouus
to secure the road, for the saving in
freights would pay the whole bonus in
aycar or two. Add to this the appre-
citation in the value Of real property
which is sure to follow the securing of
another railroad, and every one must
see that we can make no better invest.
IDent than to invest in the Southern
Minnesota or some east and west road
There is another consideration. Al
present Worthlngton and Mobiles coun
ty are one of the papers going to form
the tail of a st. Paul kite. We art
tributary to st. Paul, and receive but
little i'll return. All the efforts of thai

AN INDEPENDENT PRESS

AN 1NDEPENDEN1 PREHd
The Waseca Radical says on this
subject:
If the people desire honest, independ-
ent and reliable newspapers, they must
put their hands in their pockets and
help make them such. They must give
the publisher Il hearty support, and in
asmuch us they claim the right to their
own honest opinions, they must allow
their publisher the same right. Ger
tainly they do not want putty man as
editor-one who has no opinions, or
what is worse, lacks the courage to ex-
press them.
1t is time people began to think of
this matter, and do their part towards
maintaining an ''independent press"
Every man can aid i'll the matter by
taking and paying for his paper and
getting others to do so. Who will do
And the Austin Republican adds:
When the people. refuse to subscribe
for political ring organs and cheerfully
dependent papers, they will begin to re-
aliZe the benefits of q needed reforna-
tion among officials. An independent

press. Just as long as the people re-
main in bondage to corrupt political
leaders, they must suffer the conse.
sequences of official and legislative ex-
travagance and consequent enormous
taxation.
The people are undergoing a change
as to their support of country newspa-
pers as they long since did in their sup
port of city papers. For some years
independent newspapers like the New
York Herald, Chicago Times and Gin
cinnati Commercial have led all other
papers in circulation and advertising
patronage. But among country papers,
the rule still is that the party and ring
organs are the best sustained. Never
theless, we notice that one by one the
country newspapers are stepping to the
front and refusing to be considered the
organs of any party in politics or relig-
ion. The ADVANCE long since took
that position and has gained in circula-
tion ever since. We lost the support Of
a few bitter partiZans and church big

not always on hand as beaux, they
are by no means 'matchless. They are
